We note an advertisement for a lost
DOG in which the advertiser states
that the dog is "the best friend he
has on EARTH" Many a man has
found that his dog is his best friend
for when others deserted, him, the dog
remained to share his adversity, and
10 lick the wounds that cruel fate
had administered. We have always
viewed with more or less distrust the
man who dislikes dogs, and we alb
nor the propaganda that is being pro-
muigated by some that dogs should
De done away with for economic
reasons, Whenever man owns IN
that he can't feed his dog, he might
as well go down and drop in the
lake. We know one dog that will
get half of his masters crust-the
biggest half, If necessary-as long as
the crust can be secured; for, be it
much or little, the dog will accent It
with more gratitude and appreciation
than are called forth by the greatest
favors lavished by man upon those Of
his own kind.

PRISONERS FEARED
THAT NEW zEALANDERs
WOULD EAT THEM
Told By Officers New zealanders
Would Give Them Cigarettes
and Then Eat Them

The following interesting story
written by the special war correspon-
dent of the New York Times, tells
how the yarns Of the German officers
work upon the ignorance of their
troops.
The British have been making a
number of small raids into the Ger
man trenches, discovering the enc
my's strength and dispositions and
doing as much damage as possible in
short time English, Australian,
Canadian, and New Zealand troops
have all been taking share in these
grim adventures, and nearly every
raiding party has brought back few
prisoners.
In these hours OF darkness, when
the men crawl out into No Mans
Land dropping into the wet mud of
the shell craters and lying doggo
when the white glare Of German
rackets makes every strand of
barbed wire a black etching against
an incandescent light so that a
crouching man feels monstrously Wis
ible among the old sandbags and
slime, there are intense emotions
which some men dread and some
men like, according to their state Of
nerves and mental reactions.
Nobody writes about that side of
the war, said Canadian officer one
day, though it has been written now
and then; "nobdy describes what it
feels like when one drags ones body
through the mud with German ma
chine gun few yards away and a
German sentry pacing up and down a
bit Of trench and stopping to listen
to some bricks that one sends clat-
tering down by careless movement
apd then; nobody describes what 1t
dead body-long time dead-outside
the German wire before the last
pounce forward That is war, but
not as one reads it,
The Canadian officer had a queer
experience little while ago, and
during the last few days another had
the same. He went with a raiding
party into the German outposts lines
and stayed for two hours in the Ger
man trenches without seeing a living
soul In some parts Of the line, es.
pecially in those parts where No
Mans Land is wide, the enemy holds

The idea of uniforms for all school
girls is being agitated in many COM
mumties. There are some arguments
against it, but on the whole we be-
lieve the proposition to be meritori-

dress would have a tendency to elm
mate snobbishness and save the feel
irgs of many poor girl who can not
afford to dress as extensively as her
companions. There are economic ar
guments in favor of the plan, also.

THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

Candidly let us admit that If a
Nonpartisan league organizer had
made a speech in Gregory county, the
bailiwick of Opie Chambers, identical
with that which President Wilson
made before congress last Monday, he
would have been run out of the coun-
try.
Mr. Wilson's address is a reminder to
congress that under it's enactments
profiteers are still doing business at
the same old stand. Not only that,
but the president virtually states to
congress that it's assessment of war
profits is not sufficient to justify the
conclusion that our congressional laws
are based upon equality and Justice.
The other day, our old friend, Coe
I, Crawford, in support of Senator
Sterling's candidacy, cited that John
D. Rockefeller is compelled to pay
thirty-eight million dollars year into
the public treasury out Of his earn
ings That's true-but what if John
ID. is deriving an income of one hum
dred million dollars year?
On the basis of equity and justice,
If Mr. Rockefsllers income has been
increased fifty million dollars year
through war conditions, he is better
able to pay into the treasury thirty
eight millions of these surplus earn
ings than a twelve dollar "a week de-
partment. store clerk is able to pay one
dollar a month on the purchase of a
fifty dollar Liberty bond.
Armour & Co. derived a net income
of tWenty-one million dollars last year.
That's seventeen million dollars Of war
profits, II would cost Armour & Co.
less effort and less hardship to pay
fifteen million Of that seventeen mill
lion into the public treasury for war
purposes than for a school teacher,
drawing salary of sixty dollars a
month for nine months of the year, to
invest fifty dollars in war savings
stamps.
'Profiteers that cannot be got at by
restraints of conscience and love OF
country can be got at by taxation
Z # this Is seeking at this critical
time to divide the people, as our
distinguished contemporary, the Min
neapolis Journal, would say, let those
! who think SO make the most OF it and
include President Wilson within the
scope Of their criticism.
