The pharisees Said Give us a Sign.

And SO we all bit. The Leonard

broke, petered out with assets of a
few thousands of dollars and liabil-
tiles more than the assets, as is al
isees had said, give us a sign" and
he gave it to us, good and proper.
He would go into a town and draft
or cajole and hoOdwink a preacher
into going around with him, and they
gobbled in suckers OF which the
writer was one.
They put up a sign on the Parry
Burns shooting gallery, and then
collected the pay from the Pharisees
The papers say they came to Des
Moines with million, and are going
out with a good deal less, but it was
fun while it lasted. And the pity OF
it is. it was done in the name of the
church, in the name of the big out
morality, for good, for decency, and
the church suffers the consequences.
Thoughtless folks will blame the
church, when the church had moth
ing to do with it, but Publican
came along, or somebody came along,
and when we Pharisees said, I'VE
wanted a sign he sold it to us, and
we pald the Hddler, or the sign
maker
But when the next fakir comes
along in the name of religion, we
will all be rerdy to bite again
The sign sdmonished folks to go
rhurch they were all over Iowa.
We saw. one at Columbus Junction,
at Mt. Pleasant, at Tama, at Iotedo,
at Grundy Center, almost every
where you went, there was go to

the sign ever induced a single, soli-
,ary, lonesome man to so TO church.

Anniversary Of the Destruction O.
the Maine.

Twenty years ago, last Friday, the
battleship Maine was blown up in
Havana Harbor, and Remember the
Maine" became the slogan of our
war with Spain, which was declared
in the following April. For some
years thereafter the anniversary
was observed by patriotic societies
in this country, but the practice fell
into disuse as our relations with
Spain became more amicable. To-
day we are SO busy remembering
later tragedies at sea that the blow
ing up Of the Maine will get scant
attention. We are remembering the
Lusitania and the destruction of life
by the sinking of other ships carry
ing Americans and other innocent
travellers, and we are remembering
with deep. grief the recent. destruc-
ton of the Tuscania with it's heavy
toll upon the men who were bound
for France to fight the malicious
enemy of all mankind. We need no
hymn of hate to spur us on; our
mission is one of justice, and justice
demands not only satisfaction, but
such correction of abuses as will
make humanity safe against hideous
barbarity in the future.

LARGEST HOOSIER TAKES UP NO
MORE SPACE THAN YOUR ORDIN-
AIRY WORK TABLE.
These are 40 labor saving devices in the

Saves Wheat.

There is not particle of flour wasted in
corners or crevices with the Hooser patent
ed flour bin. Then the waste of taking the
flour from the bin with a separate sitter,
with what is left in the sitter and the tend
ency to take too much, is done away with.
With the Hoosier you sift the exact amount
of -four desired from the bin directly into
whatever you are mixing, with no waste
whatsoever.
The Hoosier metal bread box cuts off an
other big waste y preventing the bread
from spelling or drying out. Then there
are two metal drawers, which may be used
to keep corn meal or other war Aours.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1918-02-21

In the Hooser all the things you require
in cooking are within arms reach, so there
is no time wasted in running to cupboard
or pantry. The time and steps saved in
this way are alone worth the price of the
cabinet
Combining, as it does, the cupboard,
pantry and work table, the Hoosier saves
valuable time in the kitchen. THE
