 Since the supreme court has decided a fellow can come home from Poplar Bluff without jumping off at the crossing, we've decided to take no more thrilling trips.
 Ma and Pa argue so much that he hasn't a chance to say word. If 1 and Pa make small cleaning i in four-handed affair Ma will raise the devil about the evil ways of the wild, wild men, go spend the money, and then come home to find me and lpa sitting up for late supper and expect us to compliment her on her rare tact at being able to win piece of out-of-date cut glass at the bridge club. We're getting tired of living. but don't dare to mention the fact around the house.
 | Mrs. A. Mutt, our mother, has been on the frenzied "war-path" ever since our frenzied effort Sunday morning to take fathers place in the literary world. She says, says she, if you can't write proze, try pottery and 1 if you don't make any better out on pottery, I shall take charge of that colyum myself.

It gave me an inspir- ation, resulting in the following rime:
 Mary had little lamb, Its fleece was black as tar; And every where that Mary went, The lamb would soon be thar. 1t follered her to school one day
 As you have heard before; And when it bolted in the house,
 It made the children roar. The teacher got his dander up,
 (As any teacher must); When anything comes in his house,
 And kicks up such dust. Sto stepping quickly on the floor,
 He seized the sweeping broom, And bravely charged upon the lamb
 To drive it from the room. But Mary loved the lamb you know,
 And didn't want it killed; So when she saw him seize the broom,
 Her heart with dread was filled. So stepping quickly on the floor,
 As the broom was coming down, To keep the lamb from being hurt,
 She interposed her crown. When Mary caught the gentle lick,
 She tumbled to the floor, And for a long time after that,
 Her head was very sore. The teacher not to be outdone,
 Resumed his sheepish chase, And followed up the little lamb
 At a very rapid pace. Of course the lamb went by the door, As if he couldn't see, And by the door the teacher went
 And very mad was he.
 He ran, and ran his level best,
 But didn't gain bit;
 He seized a slate and threw it
 But boy was what he hit. W | Ea[EfstS S Ig''1 | (Oh muse, come to my rescue and
 help to find a quitting place.) The boy was hit between the eyes
 And to the floor he quickly fell! At this, the other scholars
 All began frightful yell. The noise so scared the little lamb,
 He wished as I've a notion, He hadn't come to school that day, And caused this great commotion.

never paid any attention to the food

What Mr. Hoover has accomplished

as one of the most remarkable of the
many great achievements of the war

side of the other great business men
of this administration.

BIG LEAKS.

Breweries last year, in the United
States, used 68,40O,OOO bushels of
grain and 3,22O,00O tons of coal. At
the same time many people went
hungry and many homes were cold.
Churches, schools and factories were
partially or entirely closed to con-
serve feul. Saloons and braweries
run full time. Why are not these big
leaks plugged?
The above is about what was said
at the recent International Sunday
School convention in Buffalo, N. Y.
Another leak, $25,OOO,0OO and g.
100000 people are employed in the
soft drink industry. If beer and soft
drinks will help win the war, all
right. But many people there be who
are from Missouri. Pouring in at
the bung and leaving the spigot open
doesn't seem good business, to say
the least.

AS TO THE TOLL-GATES.

The citizens Of the county will
meet August 18th, to discuss the ad-
visibility of establishing toll-gates
on the principle roads of the county
The Board of Supervisors want to
know the feeling of the taxpayers
on the subject before taking action
in the matter.
That the toll-gate is not an Gun
mixed blessing" and "a source of an
noyance," and that the people "grum-
BILE about them" at all times, us the
Roanoke Times states in an article
published elsewhere in this issue,
commenting on an article which APP
peared in the last issue of this pa
per, is no doubt true, nevertheless
not at all conclusive argument
against the establishing of toll-gatcs.
People will grumblc at everything
more or less. A great many peo-
pie grumbled about building roads in
in the first place, and are still grumb-
ling.
If fault-fnding and grumbling
were allowed hearing little would
be accomplished along any line of
Improvement and progress. When
the good road movement was inau-
gurated in Tazcwcl County there
was no end of "grumbling," criti-
cism and even violent, organized OPP
position. Grumblers are entitled to
be heard, but should not he allowed
to "rule the roost," unless they have
good grounds for grumblng. If Mr..
Wilson and his workers had paid at
tention to the grumblers the Huns
would have already over-run Europe
and perhaps the United States.
The toll-gate scheme will, of course
not meet with universal approval.
Men differ, and honestly, too. OF
five leading citizens of the county
spoken to on the subject before this
article was written, four were in ia
vor-one against, "unlcss nothing else
would do"
AS to the joy riders from outside
the county, this fact may be stated
This class of people, well-to-do, own
ers of fine cars and financially able
to maintain them, are always willing
to pay for what they get, not one in
dozen Of them, perhaps, would OBJ
Ject to paying a small amount for
the up-keep of the roads over which
he drives his car. These people don't
ask something for nothing A toll
gate tax is collected from the people
who use the roads, and spent direct
ly for the benefit of the roads. All
these questions will be "thrcshcd
out" on the 18th.

AS a MAN THINKETH IN HIS
HEART so is HE, SAYS THE
BOOK OF BOOKS.

Germany for years thought lust of
world power, lust of wealth to be
looted from others, and lust of its
bestial nature, and so Germany has
become what it thought in it's heart,
land of looters, of robbers, of out
RACERS.
Germany is realizing in it's own life
the fearful fruit of its crimes, and
now it is encouraging immortality in
order TO increase it's birth rate. 1t
is planning to make it's private life Il
breeding farm to produce livestock to
be classed as human beings, but hu-
man beings brought into existence
through lust merely to increase the
number of its people.
The records of human history show
nothing so degenerate, nothing to
match the crime of Germany's think
ing and nothing to equal the fearful,
degradation of immortality which has
come as the inevitable fruit of Ger
many's life.
1t is not the Kaiser and his clique
alone which have thus thought them
selves into this hell of moral rotten
ness; they were not the only would
be looters; they were not the indi-
vidual rapists; they merely encour-
aged their people to give free rein to
their passion for wrccking woman
hood as ruthlessly as they wrecked
cathcdrals and churches.
The sacredness of womanhood and
childhood was no more to these Ger
mans-thesc fiends of hell-than the
sacredness of cathedrals, which they
delighted to destroy that they might
gloat over the accomplishment of
their Hell-born deeds. AS they
thought in their heart so they be-
came, so they are, and so they prom
Use to remain.
These are the people we are fight
ing. Our war is not with kaiscrism
and Prussianism only.
Let us not deceive ourselves.
Our war is unto death with q ma
ton trained for years to make war
its business in order to loot other na
tons.
Our war is with peopl which
seeks enrichmene by destroying 9th
ers, Il people which is ready to muir
der in ored rto rob, people which
encourages the rapist in order TO
brighten others into abject terror and
subsection.
Our war is with a people who for
years gladly upheld these doctrines,
looking forward eagerly to the day
when through murder and outraging
and pillaging without end the wealth
of the world would be poured into
their laps.
This the dcvil-controlled, rotten
souled nation which clutches at our
throat as for four years it has clutch
ed with its blood-dripping hands at
the throats of all civilization.
Make no mistake, the honor OF
every woman in America-your wife
your mother, your aughter-human
liberty, and Chritianity itself will
depend upon our breaking the clutch
Of the beast and strangling him to
death in Europe.
On to Berlin, for Germany must be

WILLING TO QUIT.

Senator John w Smith. of Mary
land, recalled the following" story to
Illustrate the "great drought of some
legal arguments"
Some time ago since rather
youthful lawyer had case in which
ne wished to make hit. and to that
end he looked up authorities that
took him back to the days of Julius
Caesar. AT the end of an hour and a
half he was panied to observe what
looked like inattention on the part
OF the court. Apparently the Judge
was not approaching the fine points
of his arguments. "Your honor"
said he, pausinr in his plea and
turning to the bench. 81 beg yonr
pardon, but are YOU following me 2"
81 have so far" answered the
lndgc, YEARLY shifting about in his
chair. "but if / thought | could find
my way back would quit right
here."-Argonaut.

is THE KAISER DIGGING IN?"

The retirement of the German ar
my northward, contesting every foot
of ground, leads naturally to the as
sumption that he is preparing anoth-
or line of defense outside the Sol
sons Marine salient, where he will
make Il stand, and give battle to the
armies Of the Allies, in perhaps fin
al effort TO smash through, and "de-
stroy" the enemy, rs he proposed in
the beginning. The situation has
that kind of an aspect now. If this
conjecture is correct, when seems
reasonable, the question of time is
important. The army Of Liberty and
freedom is growing by leaps and by
bounds and in few weeks longer the
allied armies will be prepared to
match his most gigantic efforts, and
not only run him out Of the trenches
but clear of France

the Women's screams as decoy.
cannot tell you what the soldiers told
me they found out on one of these
positions-it is too awful to even
think about. / also have it on the
word of one of the greatest French
abbcs that the BocheS were espec-
tally instructed to destroy converts,
and kill or outrage the nuns; and he
says that all through France and
Belgium are ruined converts, and
that the nuns were given to the SOL
diers to be outraged in the camps.
These are not isolated cases or alb
normal conditions which prevailed
here and there where troops were
drunk without any normal restraint.
| Go along the French and British
front and the only conclusion you ar
rive ut is that they are just The
ground principle Of Bochc efficiency
in action"
The Roanoke Times Adds:
The foregoing testimony is but n
sample of myriads akin to it all go
ing to show that the German of to-
day is more brute than man and that
he must be beaten absolutely, de-
cisively, overwhelmingly, before the
world will be safe again for the hu-
man race. 1t is up to us TO see that
the men who have gone across the
water to contest supremacy with this
brute in human form and who meet
death in the struggle do not perish
in vain. The world will never be safe
for democracy, never be safe for the
wives and daughters of men, until
the German Nation as it exists to-
day is hopelcssly and definitely
worstcd and shorn Of its power. AS
The Baltimore Sun firmly declares,
Eve shall be guilty of AN awful crime
against those who have died for us,
against the moral standards of hu-
manity, against the welfare of gencr-
ations yet unborn, if we fail to per-
form firmly and completely this great
duty which cOnfronts US"

CHAPLAIN GRIFFITH'S ON GER
MAN ATROCITIES.

Some people are inclincd to think
that German hcllishness and atroc:
ties, published from time to time
have been exaggerated. AS time goes
by, however, it becomes clearer and
more evident that there has not only
been no eXaggcrations, but that thu,
half has not been told-cannot be all
told in public prints. The following
copied in the Roanoke Times of Tues
day from the Baltimore Sun is con-
lrmatory Rev. George Alexander
Griiiiths, Chaplain of the Fifth Field
Artillery, now in France, says:
"All that you have heard in Amer
lea about them does not approximate
the truth. There are little children
right here in France with their lit
tie stumps of hands; there were some
not far from my last camp, and young
men with all the fingers of their
right hand cut off. The other day a
British officer and three Tommies
told me that n short time ago they
went as an advance party into a vii
laEe from which the Boche had been
driven back and in a large room there
were four young Canadians crucified

TURK FATE.


Reports on Tuesday were to the
effect, that Turkey had severed re-
lations with Germany which may or
may not be true. If true it may not
amount to much us the Turkish Army
is oiliccrcd almost entirely by Ger

death grip on the Ottoman Empire.

TAZEWELL COUNTY AND TOLL
GATES.
(Roanokc Times.)

Tazewcll County is seriously con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of installing
toll-gatcs on the main roads of the
county and mass meeting of citizens
has been called by the Board of Su-
pervisors for August 13 to discuss
the question. We learn from the COL
umns of the Clinch Valley News that
there are Il number of Taxpayers in
favor of the toll-gate method of
helping to keep up the roads," the
argument being advanced by the
News that at is an evident fact that
the roads of the county are being
used by many non-rcsidents who pay
no taxes or help in tie up-keep OF
he roads in any way" The News
charges that "the Fincastle ROAD
from Tazewell to Bluefield is ia
vorte speedway for Bluefield motor
lists who pay nothing for mainte-
nance"
This state Of affairs is naturally, a
source of constant provoc&tion to the
TaZewell people to erect toll-gates
and collect fees from visitors for
the purpose of keeping the roads in
repair. The feeling is perfectly
pie will do well to consnder the mat
ter very carefully ere they commit
themselves to the toll-gate principle.
Here in Roanoke county we have toll
gates and we likewise have good
roads. But the toll-gates are a source
of lnccssant annoyance and our peo-
pie grumble about them all the time.
Nor are visitors from distance ia
vorably impressed by the presence CT
tool-gates. In fact, the impression
caused upon them is quite the re
verse. If the Tazeweil roads cannot be
kept up without toll-gates, then per-
haps it will be we'll to decide in IA
vor of the adoption Of the toll-gate
system. But the toll-gate is bv no
means an unmixed blessing, as every
county that has had any experience
with it is in a position to testify.

THE CHANGE.

If any young artist would like to
attract attention, let him put the
words "He hath put down thd
mighty" under this picture:
The former Empress of Russia,
husband murdered, her son that was
to have been Emperor dead, appears
with her daughter before Lenine, who
has risen from the gutter to rule
Russia, and bcgs for permission to
enter convent in Sweden.
Not yet" answers Lenine. The
revolution has not made up it's mind
about executing the Empress as Ma
rie Antoinette was executed-a pic
ture of pathetic misery.
If the Empress and her husband
had gone out disguised, to consult the
poor and learn how they felt, instead
OF consulting the monk, Rasputin,
they might at least have saved their
lives by flight if not their autocracy.
The day may not be far distant
when the Kaiser and his six bows
will be asking some now unknown
product of Berlin's mob, >"What arc
