Quite little excitement was caus.
ed in our village the other day when
Ed. johnson "called" one of our citi.
zens on remark altogether unworthy
Of an American citizen. It appears
somebody remarked that they hoped
they would soon get the KAISER" and
end all the war. Our good citizen
butted in and said the Kaiser wasn't
to blame, but that this country had
only itself to blame. This was too
much for Ed, and his Americanism
boiled. He tried to lay it to the fel.
lows ignorance, but could not forget
the words and finally notified him
that unless he came to the P. O. lobby
and in the presence of the flag retrac-
ted his statements he would be fore
ed to report him to the authorities.
Our good neighbor came meekly to
his senses, and admitted his error,
promising that he would hereafter 10y
ally support the government, and not
let his tongue expose his ignorance
any more. There are few people
here who should be looked after for
remarks just such as the above, and
If more of our other citizens exhibited
the backbone Of Mr.. johnson we are
sure there would be no room for
slackers and traitors in Raymond. We
hope and trust that there will be the
most loyal support of all our citizens
in all our Government undertakes to
rid the world of Prussian autocracy
John Lindner claims he has q
KAISER Bill'' on his farm and that he
isn't going to change this fellows
name either. :, He says that his "Kais-
or Bill" got the cognomen on account
of his natural and irresistable inclina-
tfon to always ''Butt In into every
thing which comes his way and that
one OF his boys thought the name
would. suit him just right. For the
information Of anybody who may
wonder what kind OF creature this
is which Mr.. Lindner is harboring on
his premises, we beg to inform the
public, that 1t is the boss sheep buck
on the farm, and: anybody snooping
around Mr.. Lndner's farm should 90

The word "booze" came to us before
the fourteenth century, seemingly from
the Dutch, In the form "bous'' or
"bouse." At that time, as noun or
verb, it meant merely drink" and to
speak of gentleman as housing" his
wine was not ubelous or even deroga-
tory. Somehow it acquired the added
suggestion Of excess and bad company,
and by the time of Shakespeare we find
it in glossaries of the argot Of thieves
and gypsies. The process may be un:
derstood when we think Of the sinister
meaning we often attach to the simple
word drink" which might conceiva-
6ly run the same course If we misuse
It often enough.-Harper's. :. t..

HOUSE COMMITTEE
TAKES DRY" STEP
Reports Food Bill With Prohi-
bitjon Plan in 1919
Attached.

Wartime prohibition moved step
nearer today when the House agri-
cultural committee decided to report
favorably the food production bill. in
cluding the amendment added by the
Senate making prohibition effective
July l. 1919.
Prohibition leaders in Congress ex-
pect the House to follow the COM
mittee's recommendation, the result
of which would take the whole pro-
hibition question out of the hands of
conferees. Formal report Of the bill
to the House will not be made until
after the House passes the pending
war revenue bill. Chairman Lever
said.
The committee. however. decided to
include in the dry" amendment q
provision permitting the importation
of Italian wine until May 1, 1919.
Other Senate amendments were dis
agreed to by the committee.
Speaker Clark today signed the res
olution authorizing the President to
establish dry zones about coal mines,
shipyards, munitions and other war
material plants. Transmission Of
. the resolution to the President went
over until tomorrow because the
Senate was not in session and the
signature of Vice President Marshall
could not be obtained.
