Lines on Spring

!. | came from Chicago here
To spend my favorite month of the
year;
I watch the almighty Power,
How He does His work, hour after
hour.
God has spread the rugs of green,
And everywhere they may be seen.
Again the Lord decorates the naked
trees
With their beautiful leives
And the waving lowered stems
Are throwing out their perfume again.
Now in bloom are the favored flowers
of mine,
The lilac and the golden dandelion.

A Queer Freak

This office has received photo
craps of an object cut by Marion
Farris of Casselg from the nat
ural growth of a tree-evidently one
of those abnormal things sometimes
found in the forest. The object stands
5 feet 4 inches high, the circumfer-
ence being 10 feet inches.
THE KAISER'S TOMBSTONE
Mr.. Farris calls it "The Kaisers
Tombstone" and has written the fol-
lowing lines with the suggestive title
of:
The Kaiser to Meet his Doom
The kaiser is bound to meet his
doom, we are fortunate all ready to
have his tomb.
1t don't make any difference in what
land,
He might just as we'll throw up his
hand.
On land or sea or in the air,
Our American boys will get there.
Uncle Sam don't ask dollar,
And yet pro-Germans they will holler-
Now the strangest thing to me
Is that everybody cannot see
Any man not affected with insanity
Can see we are in it for the sake Of
humanity.
Now while Uncle Sans army is on the
increase
The kaiser and his followers are cry
ing for peace,
And while they're going about with
evil intent,
Let us stand firmly behind our presi-
dent.
Just think for moment if Germans
should rule,
And invade this fair country with a
nation so cruel,
You soon would find your backs sharp
as a razor,
Going about doing dirty work for the
kaiser.
Now let us here, in Gods own land
Be ever ready to take the stand
To make all the nations forever free
A good, safe place for democracy.

A Lesson in French

Unless you would propriety shock
Don't pronounce it General Fock;
Nor dare our laughter to evoke
BY giving him the long o, Foke;
Nor yet, remembering some Scottish
"loch,"
Sounding it gutteral as Foch;
Avoid too, making a sad botch
By the pronunciation, Fotch,
Nor thinking my directions bosh
Content yourself by saying Fosh.
But confident he'll down the Bo-che
Pronounce correctly General Fo CHI.

The above figures do not represent
the total of all the firms doing busf
ness in Wisconsin, but enough to show
that their taxes have greatly increased
Their profits would have grown, wal
or no war.
The writer of the above letter should
remember that Germany was the
cause of the war and not this country
The Germania Herald, Milwaukee
came out fat-footed the other day and
admitted that the German people OF
this country and other countries had
been deceived. 1t was not the rich
men Of this country who brought on
the war, but the rich men of Germany
the Krupps and others, also the mill
tary party. The rich men of this coun-
try are giving fortunes, are giving
their time, are giving their sons. 1t
NAV be that some of them desire the
war to continue, and we think the
most of them realize more fully than
Mr.. Ochsner that we're it not for the
English feet Germany would be
throwing shells into the coast cities
of this country For that reason they
are bending their energies toward win
ming the war for the allies. Germany
is an outlaw nation, without regard
to treaties, without regard to agree
ments, without regard to humanity,
without regard to honesty.
AS to this country getting into the
war. it was not the rich people who
brought it about, but the thinking
class, the college professors, the news
papers. Since the United States de-
clared war the powder companies and
munition factories have not been max
ing as much money as before, because
the government regulates the prices.
Material and labor cost more, taxes
are more and profits are less.
Any self-respecting socialist GER
tainly would not speak we'll Of a power
that has dishonesty treated Russia.
Looking at the fate Of Russia, the only
apparent thing to do is to fight, why
not now?
Some time ago Mr.. Ochsner sent to
this office a defense of Mrs. Rose Pas
tor Stokes. What has happened to
Mrs. Stokes? The Socialist has been
found guilty at Kansas City Of viola
ton of the espionage act. The convic-
ton carries heavy penalties.
During times of war conditions be-
come abnormal. 1t is the duty Of ev-
cry citizen to look situations squarely
in the face, not become biased and
stand by the government, rich or poor.
AS to the words Of Colonel Roose-
welt, will say that Mr.. Ochsner, we
think, has not quoted them correctly.
When the troops were brought into re-
view Mr. Roosevelt said to the kaiser
that with such an army he (the kali
ser) could conquer the world, or words
to that effect. The statement was
more in jest than earnest, words that
most people would say under the cir
when some sort of a COM
pliment was expected by the host.
Yes, Mr.. Ochsner, peace pays, and
the kaiser will find it out by the time
the war comes to a close-his nation
bankrupt, his people hated, his sub
jects crippled or dead, his commerce
gone and some of his territory in the
hands of the allies. When he looks
back over the bloody, cruel, dishonor-
able years he will truly say, Peace
pays"

DAVID KEITH is CALLED.
Capitalist and Pioneer Mining Man
Succumbs to Pneumonia.

Salt Lake City.-David Keith, min
ing magnate, capitalist and one of the
most widely known men in the inter-
mountain west, died In his apartments
Mt the Hotel Utah Tuesday morning.
Mr. Keith would have been II years
of age the oath of next month.
Into the early life of David Keith
came much of the romance of adven-
ture. He was typical pioneer and
pathfinder, who was found in the front
ranks of the sturdy men who carried
civilization and development into the
untamed wilds in the early days. Born
Of sea-faring people, the fearless
spirit of adventure pulsed through his
veins. For him the call of the sea
was strong, but the lure of the track
less west, with its unbounded wealth
of adventure and untold riches In min
eral was stronger. In response to this
call he forsOok the sea and when a
young man of but 20 he was found in
the great mining district of Nevada.
That marked the beginning of the max
Ing of one of the vests most success
full and noted mining men.
David Keith was born at Mabou,
Cape Breton island, Nova Scotia, May
~, 1S47.

CZERN|N RESIGNS
FROM THE CABINET
AuSTRo HUNGARIAN FOREIGN
MINISTER FINALLY FORCED
OUT OF OFFICE.
Emperor Charles Letter to Prince
sxtus, Given Publicity by French,
Renders the Position of the
Count Untenable.

Amsterdam.-Count Czernin, the
Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, ac-
cording to dispatch from Vienna, has
resigned.
Emperor Charles accepted the reslg-
nation and entrusted Count Czernin
with the conduct of foreign affairs
until his successor is appointed.
An official statement received here
from Vienna asserts that the latest
statements of the French premier, NJ.
Clemenceau, concerning the conversa-
tons between Austria and France re-
garding the possibility of opening peace
negotiations do not alter the situation
us regards the majority of Count
Czernin's declarations.
Count Czernin did not know of EN-
peror Charles's letter to Prince SiXtus
when he made the statement that
France had initiated the conversations
with Austria, according to Vienna
dispatch to the Lokal Anzeigner of
Berlin. On learning of the letter, he
resigned, but yielded to n request that
he remain in office until the conclusion
of the peace agreement with Rumania.
The recent publication by the French
government of the futile peace appeal
by Emperor Charles of Austria-Hun-
gary in March, 1917, and the efforts
of the emperor and the Austro-Hun-
garian foreign office to explain the
letter to the satisfaction of Germany
and the German emperor, probably
We're the most potent influence in
bringing about the resignation of
Count Czernin.
Since he was appointed foreign min
lister on December %, 1916, in sue
cession to Baron Burian. Count Ger
min has been very active in attempt
ing to bring about peace and the mod
crate tone of his speeches has been in
sharp contrast with that of the Ger
| man chancellors and foreign secre-
taries. However, his participation in
the forced peace upon Russia, as well
as that upon Rumania, did not show
that his actions kept step with his
words.
emf year, Count Czernin in the Austrian
reichrath on January % suggested an
exchange of views between Austria
| Hungary and the United States. He
| announced also that Austria based her
negotiations with Russia on the policy
of no annexations or indemnities, but
there always was some doubt whether
his pacifist maneuyers We're honest or
were inspired by Berlin in an effort
to bring about split among the en-
tente allies.
Count Czernin on April in an adj
dress at Vienna declared that Premier
Clemenceau had sought peace negotia-
tons with Austria. The French pre-
mier replied that Count Czernin lied.
The French and Austrian offices then
issued statements explaining the UNI
official negotiations in Switzerland
Early last week the French govern
ment declared that Emperor Charles
and Count Czernin both had said that
the claim of France to Alsace-Lorraine
was just. This brought denial from
Emperor Charles in the form of n tele-
gram TO Emperor William to whom he
reiterated his loyalty to the German
cause and denied that he had said
France was justified in wanting Al
sace-Lorraine returned.

Red-blooded men of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes 'pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition In the
springtime of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers of good al
terative and blood purifier. Such one
is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, nude up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use of alcohol. This can be OBJ

1t for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
