such a celebration of the great man:
birthday.
A lady asks "how much fruit ant
vegetables to CAM" Our auburn
haired Office devil says to tell her "tt
can all she can can" If we publish
any more of his bright sayings bott
he and l will be canned when the boss
returns from his vacation trip.
Ford should remain at home to con
tinue the good work he is doing 1ol
the government. When we say "gooo
work" we mean it, too. He would fee
as out of place in the senate as an ed

editorial convention.
What would the young man do, who
| is now hiding behind the skirts OF his
wife to avoid military duty, if the for
eign foe should invade our shores and

The Advertising News says: "The
newspaper boys of the south have a
real organization. They are accom-

some of the same dope. .
When a fellow begins to take an In
terest in the outdoor magazines and
smiles as he reads the stories OF Pick
erel in August" etc., it is a good sign
that his thoughts are elsewhere than
in the office. A two weeks vacation
with full pay, is about all that can be
done for such a hopeless case. Won

Let us proudly remember that in
our time the greatest, the grandest
the noblest army of the world fought
not to enslave, but to free; not tc
destroy, but to save; not simply FOL
themselves, but for others; not fol
conquest, but for conscience, not only
for us but for every land and every
race.-From an address by Col. Robt
G. Ingersoll on May 30, 1881.

From hundreds of homes in Craw

at their countrys call to do their duty
More than a million are already OF

A Frenchman was asked ii thu
French will stay in the fight to thu
last. He replied: IF it is necessary
they will fight until every man Il
gone; when the men are gone tn
women will fight; when the womel

the children are gone the dead viii
arise and fight again." We believ
that is the true French spirit.
A little more attention should b
paid the profiteers of low as we'll a
thigh degree. Why single out on
class? IT is just as hard on the pocl
etbook to be grated by the candl
stick maker as the diamond merchant
While we do not advise violence, how

ways to see it.
When the boys come MARCHING
home from hell's furnace over there
they will take charge of this country
no doubt of it. And they should, TO
they saved it. Who will have a bette
right to take charge Of the countr

appears, thus putting our house in OF
der for the great homecoming OF GU
victorious army.

who declared after he was asked t
surrender: I'VE have just started t
fight"
The curse upon Germany will b
