OUR KALEIDOSCOPE

AND YET WE DON'T LEARN.
The present is not by any means our
first fuel famine. In 1902, for example,
we had similar trouble and one funny
man wrote:
OF wood and coal we are bereft,
And gas. they say. is risky.
About the only fuels left
Are kerosene and whisky:
And even kerosene's so high
We feel inclined to pass 1t by.

talking at dinner about war prices.
These war prices are staggering" he
said. They're very hard to combat. too.
When a man comes along with a simple.
easy method for bringing war prices down
to the pre-war level. his idea is apt to be
about as valuable as Josh's.

"Why We Should Buy
LIBERTY BONDS"
BY WILLIAM 8. HART


1t is the absolute duty of every red-blooded
American to do his "bit' in this great war OF
democracy against the kaiser. The only way
to defeat this beast and his barbarian prin-
ciples is by fighting hard and now, not year
from now when 1t will be too late, but now,
and If you can't wear the khaki yourself,
"come through" with your money and make
it fight for you with the boys who have
given themselves up to fight for us to make
this world safe place for every American
to live in Stand by the Stars and Stripes
as our forefathers did. What good will your
money be should the kaiser defeat us-God
forbid? BY lending your money to the gov
eminent you will not only be doing patri-
otto act, but will be helping yourself against
poverty and want in the twilight Of your
life. AS security you have the vast re-
sources of the greatest and richest nation on
earth. If you can't buy bond, buy war
savings stamp, but buy-buy-buy and do
it now. This applies to one and all. 1t is
up to us to get together and use every atom
of power that has been given us by the Crea-
tor to make our enemies know that this is
mighty nation which stands ready to give
it's last cent or shed its last drop Of blood
in this world battle for humanity Person.
ally every dollar have in the world and as
fast as I can get more will 60 to do my "bit.
My one regret is that can't do more.

PLEADED GUILTY AND
THEN FOUND NOT GUILTY

The paradox of man pleading
guilty in court and then being found
not guilty was what occurred in po-
lice court this morning. {. {.
Blackburn had just been fined $40
for fighting with Bob Rogers at the,
latter'S barn. The evidence show
ed that Rogers had Blackburn down
and the latter was calling loudly for
help; that a blacksmith pulled Rog-
ers off; that Rogers then got gun
from 4 desk, ran them all out Of
the barn and on getting outside. saw
the wife of the man he had been
fighting. said beg pardon and
went across the street and sat down
in the shade, with the gun sticking
out of his pocket. The case of Rog-
ers, also charged with fighting. was
then called and he said he was
guilty. The mayor inquired at length
into the rent of house over which
the fight was said to have occurred
and discharged Rogers.

Big War Legislation
In Way Of Recess for
Both Houses Congress

Washington, July 3.-The resolu-
ton authorizing the president TO
take over telegraph and telephone
systems, the $l2,000,0OO,00 artillery
appropriation bill, the proposal to
increase the government guaranteed
price for wheat to $3.50 a bushel,
and war prohibition today stood in
the way OF the proposed recess this
week OF congress. Leaders III
both the senate and house were not
hopeful that this legislation could
be disposed of in time TO recess
Saturday until August 10, while the
new revenue bill is being drafted by
the house ways and means commit
tee. In the opinion of Speaker
Clark recess plans had gone glim-
merlng."
Some members, however, had not
given up hope today of being able
to leave Washington this week.
Tentative plans were proposed to
hurry the passage of the army
bill which now is in conference, due
largely to numerous amendments
added by the senate, and to have
the telegraph and telephone control
resolution go over until August.
Disposition of the latter piece of
