fate as the instrument for the exc

the time the Hohenzollern family won
it's first foot Of ground by the sword,
its besetting vice has been ambition.

the belief that by the sword the world
was to be brought to the foot Of their

died in this belief. They forgot God
in heaven and substituted in His
place a poor thing of clay, clad in
cleaning armor and whose mouth
spoke bombastic things that blinded
their senses.

AMERICA
BY j. E. KLINGBERG.

They thought in Europe that this country fair
Was Dreamland only and it's laws were air;
They had not felt what in our bosom dwell.
Or heard the sound of Freedoms silver bells
But they know and fully understand
That the American is their truest friend
And that country, although firm steel
Is not tyrant with an iron heel
/ TO crush the life of Truth and Innocclco
tBut give justice and to right defense.
old England could not in days OF yore
Why Pilgrims left their own ancestral shore
For this great continent, in those days new,
Without. the aid OF kings, in numbers few,
But it's clear to every English mind
That it surely best for all mankind.
Erase England, from thy hist'ry's page
The words of sheer you wrote in bygone age.
And stretch thy hand across the roaring sea
TO us, a race newborn, yet stfons ana Tree
And let us feel thy grip of friendship true
Our hearts affection will give you too
Each other then unde rStand at last,
Look forward, England, and forget the past!
America Queen of golden west thy name.
Shall travel swiftly the wings of fame,
And all the world shall write thy deeds in stone
From mighty Wilson back to Washington
Thy Stars and Stripes, in heavens light unfurled,
Shall speak of freedom to painting world;
Thy ships shall leave our shores with golden grain
And with much treasured wealth. return again
And yet thy wealth is not alone in gold
But the character of finest mould
That and daughters of thy race can show
In words and actions where'er they
Thy future hope build on the rock Truth
And teach each maiden and each manly youth
That Justice only can forever stand
And give protection to their fatherand;
Destroy all evil and all selfish greed
Protect the weak and be their friend in need.
It seems that Providence appointed you
TO break the letters of the slave and to
Proclaim to nations, whether great small
That there is happiness and room for all
Upon this globe, and with the weapons bright
Defend that sacred TRUTH that right is might;
And to the nations tranquil peace restore
And do away with wars for ever more.
This is thy work, a real gigantic task.
But you do it. Tear away the mask
Of secret craftsmanship that there may be
Another ruled by honesty
When honest will honest work perform,
And Justice rule and hatreds cankerworm
Is hurled with force into the darkest deep,
Where evil spirits shall forever weep
Without the flowing tears that oft renew
The aching heart with fresh cOnSOlmg dew.
And when this work is finished every tongue

That will reSound in every mount and cave;
The shall rise upon newborn race
And in eternal light the world Embrace

And holy angels shall our gladness see;
And from His throne on heavens shining shore
our God will smile upon the earth more.

SIX BILLION. COUNT EN-.

Uncle Sam can be pardoned if he
struts down Pennsylvania Avenue with
his chest out and his thumbs tucked
into his vest-he has six billion dol
lars in his pocket, the contribution
of his loyal citizens; six billion dol
lars, every one of them for his boys
overseas who are assisting their AL
lies to solve the Belgian question
with artillery and machine guns,
rather than at the round table.
Never before III the history of the
world has a people been called upon
to subscribe such an almost unimagin-
able amount to Il war loan. And it
is no idle boast that it required
democratic nation like America to do
the trick. Dollar diplomacy if it
ever existed, has gone, and in its
place we see virile, muscular ener-
getic, fighting Dollar Democracy.
And yet there were some, even in the
United States, who believed US to be
a grasping, money-mad nation,
thoughtless of the welfare OF our fell
low beings separated from us by the
high seas. Six billion dollars that's
the answer, and billions more to come
when the need arises.

State Warehouse Insurance
OF far-reaching significance is the
Banks measure, which has passed the
senate, to provide for State insurance
on cotton stored in State warehouses.
The measure has already been pub
lished in full in this correspondence.
1t provides fer the borrowing OF $780,

bill should pass the house it would
mean that the State had forced the
entering wedge into the business Of
State insurance.
The Bills to abolish"
There has not been a test vote so
lar on any OF enc numerous measures
to abolish various Offices and depart
ments, except with respect to the tax
commission. The house has passed
this bill through second reading.
When vote was reached in the SEN

STORES MUST CLOSE
FUELLESS MONDAY

Washington, ian. 25.-Next Mon-
6ay-fuelless Monday-will be abso-
lutely tight.
Dr. Harry A. Garfield, federal fuel
administrator, will issue instructions
to all state and local administrators,
probably tomorrow, to enforce the
closing order literally.
Candy shops, cigar stores, station
cry stores, big and little department
stores that have food sections or drug
sections, candy stands, Photographic
studios, must close. Stands in hotels
will be allowed to sell nothing but
newspapers. Grocery stores, delica-
lessen shops and general food shops
must close down at noon, although
DR.. Garfield may grant permission to
these places to reopen for the usual
Sunday evening hours.
Rulings TO this effect were made
tvcay by the fuel administration Off
cials. They were necessary because
last Monday numerous small, and
even some large PAGES, sought to
evade tie order on slight pretexts
and kept open. The violations we're
not sufficiently fragrant to warrant
prosecutions. Warnings were sent to
all such violators that evasions will
not be tolerated the coming week.
Theaters and such amusement
places as have been exempted on those
days. will be the only places allowed
to use coal, excepting, of course, the
domestic consumers and public utili-
ties.

hands of those who need them.
