POOR LITTLE HOLLAND

Poor little Holland is having hard time Of it trying
to maintain her neutrality and to remain at peace with all
the world She is unfortunately close neghbor to the
unspeakabIe Hun that she is in at his mercy just
as Belgium was. To keep the big bully her neghbor,
quiet She violated her neutrality helping the Hun in the
way of furnishing him provisions and she is still doing
this This is not matter of choice but of compulsion
She has the example of Belgium before her. and realizes
that the same fate may be hers unless she submits to the
embraces of the Hohenzoern beast The trouble with
the small neutral countries is that of them are big
enough to face the Hun and his ruthessness If they
could all agree and strike together they could throw the
balance Of power overwhelmingly to the allies as put
the kaiser and his Infamous marsts where they belong
out of the world 1t is hardly probable they will do this,
but they could do it and win At the same time while at
the mercy of the kaiser they the safeguards Of his
empire Switzerland Holland and Denmark so long as
they are neutral guard and protect just much Of Ger
manys border as their boundaries Other nations
will not violate their neutrality and yet the kaiser when
ever he thinks it to his benefit to do will invade any Of
them as ruthlessly he did Belgium Maybe when they
have been kicked cufed and nsted long enought the M
tile fellows will get together and double teams the big
bruiser.

Open Forum

To the Editor: | would like to say
few words IN regard to a piece in
the Monday evening Journal, written
by Pearl Cooper. In the first men
ton she has just moved in from the
country and rented little house and
lot, nsed to be the Shavlin property.
She says sidewalks are so bad and the
rose bushes along the walk. Where
these are is on the south side of Co.
lumbia street instead of avenue, and
in Riverside addition, instead of north
Salem, Highland district. She doesn It
mean the Highland rose bushes when
they are within stones throw of her
place. She said it seemed to her the
property owners would cut out those
rose bushes. Why do not the renters
on that side of the street lend help
ing hand in beautifying Salem9 As
she speaks of the property owners, on
the north side all as clean, but the
first lots facing for three blocks on
Columbia, south side of the street, are
tenented by non-residents. A few in
the vicinity in Compton's addition
with two on the south side of Column
bia direct have takdn care of the
rose bushes by cutting them down and
burning them before and intend to
this spring. But its war gardens first.
Charity commences at home, clean up
our own door yards first.

1t is constitutional, or it may come
from local irritation of any kind and
may be present at any period of life,
alike in males or females.
When constitutional, it spells
weakness or bad nerves or poor nu-
triton or some fault in taking up
and assimilating the food.
It may also be distinctly an in
flammatory disease, lasting a few
days or an indefinite period with
symptoms which may be mild or
severe.
The common symptom is burning
or itching, which often is worse at
night.
The more one scratches the skin,
the worse the eruption becomes. FIRE.

Often there are cracks in the skin
which are sore and painful and heal
slowly, especially in cold weather.
There may be merely a reddened

But these pimples may become

An item yesterday to the effect that the war chest
committee had under consideration plan for providing
money for the next liberty loan This to assess every
person in the community certain amount and when the
call made ask him to put up the amount assessed
him. The scheme would be fair enough doubt, but it
is lost sight of that the liberty loan is voluntary matter
The United States could assess the amounts due from each
person. if it wanted to raise the money in the way of an
enforced loan 1t can levy tax and collect it. and if it is
necessary will no doubt do 3d. In the meanwhile so long
as it is voluntary loan the element of tax gathering
should be kept out of it.
