THE WRONG WORD

Depressing news from the west front" has been too general com ment. It neither states the fact nor starts good effect. Depressing" is the wrong term; like many another word first to come, it is the worst to use. If the day ever breaks when news of reverses, big or little, really depresses our people and takes the spirit out of our work, the bells will be rung in Berlin.
 The right word is soldering" Heaven knows, even if our allies do not, how we still need sobering to our duties toward the elemental good things-the decencies, the liberties that Prussia and her great accom- plices have flouted and imperilled. Let the news be bad or good, it is our one business to push our fight, to speed our remotest fitting for it, to make this war our first, grim, indi- vidual concern. We can we'll post pone for little our gayeties; we must retrench our luxuries. This war at the best is a life-and- death affair; at the worst, it would be shame for us and everlasting contempt.

FIRST BIG FOREST FIRE

A forest fire on the east side of Doney Park burned over space of $50 acres one day last week. It took the assistance of half dozen or more forest rangers and fire guards to get it under control in twelve hours. If the high wind of the last few days had been prevailing at the time the fire would probably still be doing damage.

This corner Of the porch was COM

friendship between Marse Henry Wat

If one had ventured near enough
to these two he could have heard Mr.
Riley reciting his poems over many
times to Colonel Watterson. Colonel
Watterson would ask Mr.. Riley to re.

were constant companions except
when Colonel Watterson played golf,
