Thirteen hundred base balls were

The whole amount taken in was
$45.7 but the Kaiser's head was
knocked off so often that the ex-

richer bv an even $4,000. The clev-

Like Unto a Polecat

Kendrick has it's full quota of
Pro-Germans. Not only that but
they are of the vilest stamp. We
have sympathy for a man who is of
German birth. 1t is somewhat of a
sacrifice for him to wholly sever his
connections with the Fatherland in
both word and deed but this does
not apply to those of American
birth whose forebears doubtless
had tails.
Antipathy toward England is no
excuse for German sympathy and
support. 1t is useless to boast of
your full blooded Americanism and
at the same time knock England.
The English nation today is united
with our own country in bonds that
cannot be broken. To vilify Eng
land is to prove traitor to the Unit
ed States, so it might be well for
those who at this time are talking
so loud to show a little more dis
cretion.
In this connection it is proper to
recall the conversation between
ambassador Gerard and the Kaiser.
The Kaiser boastingly said that he
had 500, 900 reservists in this coun-
try to which Gerard characteristic
ally replied that this country was
the proud possessor of 50O.O01 lamp
posts. 1t might be said in passing
that Kendrick has its just quota of
lamp posts, and in the immortal
language of another, If that be
treason make the most of it,"
This is no time for trifling. The
daily news from over there tells of
our boys who are bleeding and dy-
ing and there will be no sympathy
wasted on those of American
birth" who are shooting from the
rear. Such Americans can only be
likened to the much despised pole
cat with humble apologies to this
lowly stink peddler for the simile.
If this gentle reminder is needed
by these arrant towards the Gazette
will have accomplished it's object,
if not the next article will be more
specific.

Buy War Saving Stamps

how many unnecessary purchases
they can cut out and use that

something, just stop and consider
whether you can get along without
it or not; if you can. set aside the
price for stamps.
