ADVICE TO ABOUT-TO-WEDS.

MISUNDERSTANDING it is true that man pro-
poses marriage, the woman in the case has more
to do with the proposing than is generally sup
posed" This is only one of the many valuable
bits of advice given Mr.. and Mrs. About-to-Wed,
in a booklet issued by the Minnesota state board
of health. The pamphlet, issued to give Him and
Her a better insight in to the many questions
that wedlock involves, also says: "a young wo-
man appears at her best in the presence of a
man, especially if she likes him. A man, espe-
cially a young one, appears at his worst in the
presence of a woman, particularly If he likes her.
A woman should never marry a man to reform
him. If she just must marry that kind of a man
she should make him reform first and make him
prove it, too. Neither man nor girl should mar
ry under 20. After that, the sooner the better.
Engagements shouldn't be too long they pro-
mote late hours and extravagant expenditures
for clothes, gifts and entertainment. Engage
ments shouldn't be too short; that kind some
times leads to unwiseu unions"

LIFE A GAME.

To Americans life's a game-a game worth
playing and worth winning.
To the Germans life is a theorem, a problem
in mathematics, a scientific formula-anything
a game.
In Germany life is taken seriously. It is lived
according to a set of rules. The individual is a
cog, important, but not necessary, to the nation
al machine.
In America life is a sporting proposition. 1t
is the individual that counts.
The difference between Germany and America
is the difference between the chess board and the
dice box.
That is why our youngsters who have been
playing baseball all their lives on corner lots
have been whipped into soldiers more than a
match for German shock troops or butcher bri-
gades that have spent their time housekeeping.
That is why Germany exhibits her prisoners
in cages-like Tamerlane-while Americans
treat theirs to cigarets.
With Germany war is business.
With us it is a game to be won.
That's why the American boys have been vic
torious in every engagement they have had yet
with Fritz.
And that is why they'll win the war.-Chicago

THE LONELY HEARTS.

A club calling itself Lonely
Hearts" advertised for Is sailors to
go a-picnicking, stipulating that
those replying must be men of good
character" etc. Whereupon the
Nest in the Great Lakes Bull
letin pulled the following:
Lonely Hearts.
| want a little FauntIeroy,
A gentle-spoken sailor boy,
To be my love-my pride my JOY.
Are you this boy?
He must posses a marcel wave,
Forget he once lived in a cave,
And twice a day my boy must shave.
Are you this boy?
My boy must not be bold nor rude,
Nor have a manner rough or crude,
Nor have his lily-whites tattoed.
Are you this boy?
And he must have a pedigree,
And bring along his family tree
Credentials he must show to me
Are you this boy?
III take him out a-picnicking,
And read to him, and maybe sing,
And hold his hand and everything.
Are you this boy?

TAR AND FEATHER.


Our worthy governor says he stands for law
and order
Well-Who doesn't?
Have you heard Of any one applauding acts of
violence? Who keeps Flaw and ORDER" The
governor? The legislators? The bench? Or
the People?
Our guess is hat the law-abiding people of
the state and every other state in the Union
sustain the fabric of the law and uphold the
courts in carrying out its mandates.
The law abiding people have even stood for a
great deal Of maddening activities because they
believed in claw and order and hoped that their
legally elected servants would enforce the law
against reasonable activity.
Sometimes it seems the servants worry more
about the effect an outraged public takes upon
transgressors than the transgressors' evil work
which provoked the assault. We say it seems so.
In any event the loyal people of the state OF Wis
consin wish no honest person wrong. They do
want stern action taken with %scoundrelly trait
ors. They want their courts and official SER
wants to take a courageous stand so that skunks
may know what to expect. Then, we opine, there
will be no tar and very few feathers.

RUNNING THE HUN.

The Hun is on the run
AS best he can he draws away from the dan
gerous Soissons-Rheims pocket.
For a week he staggered blindly, suffering ire
mendous losses. Then as he drew back gradually
toward his reserves and supplies he stiffened.
Now the battle is grim but the favor goes to
our side.
We must not expect a complete rout of his
army.
A Mineral Point man the other day bet one
hundred dollars that the Hun would be done by
January 1st.
He will find many takers.
Why?
Because nearly every man would gladly lose
this sum or ten times more to see Germany de-
feated. They would pay the money and smile.
In effect one couldn't lose on a bet of this
kind-could they? Of course not
Now then-the Hun as always fights against
a time schedule. In 1914 he fought against
France with a time limit of six weeks. He fgur-
ed that unready England and unprepared Russia
could not strike him in time to save helpless
France.
Belgium fooled him-the Hun lost. The first
battle of the Marine is a story of five men beating
eight men through strategy of the finest sort.
General Frederick Foch was the savior then just
as his great genius will direct the allied arms to
victory in the future.
Gen. Foch is a good waiter. He will not waste
his men as kaiser Bill has done. Kaiser Bill
fights against me-has fought against time all
this summer. He hoped and believed and then
cast his game on the chance that Uncle Sam
could not by any manner of means get more than
fifty thousand men to France monthly. Uncle
Sam fooled him by getting 100000, yea 5000
men, overseas each month. Kaiser Bill lost.
Gen. Foch can wait-kaiser Bill cannot wait.
Gen. Foch will wait until he has enough men
to break Germany's line at every necessary
point and still have enough more to pierce the
Rhine defences.
The kaiser still hopes and believes that he can
force a decision before Gen. Foch has the requi-
site number of soldiers. He does not care how
many Germans die because he knows that his
house goes to ruin when defeat comes. So he
fights on willing to ruin his country if he must
go himself.
But the day of reckoning is coming.

BROTHER O. MINE.

You're only a lad of eighteen years
All of them spent with the one whose tears
Have guided you through life's early spheres,
Sharing with you in the joys and fears
Brother O. mine
Your limbs are clean and your heart is true,
And somehow | think you'll see it through,
Sc come back again when peace is new,
Then We'll pay you the homage due
Brother o. mine
your oath when under fire
And let neither fear nor base desire
Stem the flood of your youthful ire,
But march to the front and never retire,
And should you fall meath an alien sky,
I'll always mourn, but I'll never cry,
For you'll not be dead-only towards diel
And Wen meet again-yes, you and /,
Brother o. mine.

ELECTING A

The Herald would have preferred to see Harry
Carthew or Levi Bancroft as our candidate for
the congressional nomination. They are young
er men and would have made a strong, success
full race. The convention, however, nominated
James Monahan.
Monahan versus Nelson?
Militant Americanism versus-what?
Think it over, friend.
You are not voting for Jim Monahan or John
Nelson as men. You ARE voting for a principle.
Nelson has placed advertisements in every
paper in the district saying he will have some
thing interesting to tell in the near future. He
darkly hints that there has been something "or-
fuP' done and that he has the goods.
Come on, John.
Let us see who has the real goods. We are
ready-shoot

EDITORIAL
ON CLAIMING EXEMPTION.

Just a word upon the subject of claiming ex-
emption.
Our advice to the young man is-don't claim
it.
That is unless there is positively a just reason.
You will have to live at hOme-eating your
heart out-explaining to others-while your
chum is fighting to make the world free.
For your own sake-don't claim exemption if
there is any possible chance to go.
THE STONE THAT THE BUILDER REJECTED
Where are the stay-at-home critics of Roose-
welt?
Where are those who thought he should be
informed?
Don't hear much from them now-do we?
Decidedly not.
We will hear even less as time goes on. The
counsel of this great man who so willingly gave
his flesh and blood to his country will be increas-
ingly heard throughout the nation. The politi-
clans rejected him. The administration refused
his aid. But the people will hear him. The repub-
lican party has come back to his doorstep because
they saw how great he was beside the other lead
ers. Able men in ordinary times but lacking
Titanic ability. If he ives-you can vote for
him.

SACRAMENT.

/ take my sacrament upon the hills,
Beneath a star-swept wilderness of
sky,
Where silence and the cool wind
passing by
Bring to my soul such mighty peace
as fills
All vast and open spaces of the
night.
So worshiping, with calm, unbended
head,
I feel all man-made humbleness
and pride
Slip like an outworn garment to my
side,
And I stand forth as in a radiant
light
Naked and unashamed-and hallow-
ed.
