You surely know just what a fellow

quite a job in gratifying its wants, and
more often couldn't if it wasn't for our

SuttOns Return.

Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Sutton return
ed from their honeymoon last Sunday
and found a cart with two burros and
several carloads of people waiting for
them at the station. Mr.. Sutton was
then given a big drum and marched
with several children, who kept time
with the drum on tin cans.
Mrs. Sutton drove the burros and the
cars followed, with horns blowing and
people shouting.
Soon after the parade, Mr.. Sutton
found himself adorned with handouts
and viewing the scenery through the
bars of the city bastile. But soon he
was being fed his dinner (stiIl having
the handouts on at the home of Mrs.
James Parr, where he at last found
his bride. From then on, with the eX-
ception of the mysterious disappear
ance of a suitcase, all went well until
evening, when throughout the town
rang the music of the customary cir
cular saw which bespoke joy for the
youngsters at their charivari.

 New York, Feb. 26.-Germany, through Chancellor Von Hertling, de- clares a general peace can be discuss+ ed on basis of the four principles laid down by President Wilson. He declared, however, the principles must be recognized by all states and peoples, which stage has not been reachedy A court of arbitration is lacking, the chancellor said, adding that the tribunal world is prejudiced and Germany declines to be judged by it. He insisted the entente war aims are imperialistic. The chancellor's speech was made in the Reichstag and voiced no great change in Germany's attitude. Questisns of the entente statesmen he del v are fundament- al.
 Meanwhile, although Russia is ready to conclude peace with the Teutons, conquest of territory goes on. The situation in Si1eria is se- rious. Japan is reported Fo be pre- pairing to intervene. ActivitySon the Western fronts is confined to artil- lery duels, raids and aerial fighting. A German searaider, The Wolf, has arrived at an Austrian port with four hundred prisoners. The number of vessels that were destroyed by the Wolf is not disclosed, but the loss of eleven, including three American ships, is assumed to be due to her activities.

In of war profits, which makes up
 E bulk of the nominal increase in
 tn the productiveness of German
 lustry and the fear that increased |xation of incomes would kill the willingness of the population are |smissed as unfounded. In fact, MT. |orden argues, to attack the abnor- [ally high war incomes attained in Ertain industries and by certain ele- |ellts of the population would be of e4ded value in cutting down the |gh cost of living resulting from the ktravagant standards of life among (4 war profiteers.
 Norden cites the action of the |merican government in establishing |akimum prices for steel and other lw materials of war industry and in introducing high war lxes as an admirable example for |ermany to follow and speaks with dmiration of the Wilson plan of aking control of the railroads.
 Norden's scheme for taking care the state debt comprises radical lcrease in the tax on incomes, not pon capital as generally contem- lated by German .financiers. He olds that the proposed taxes upon apital merely lead to gextravagant pending, while the income tax can be o adjusted to beat heaviest upon the ecipients of high war incomes.
