Are We Growing Bumptuous?

The Cincinnati Enquirer puts the question to
its readers, and in reply warns against the sin OF
becoming boastful because Of the flattering COM
pliments our Allies have paid us.
The danger of becoming too enthusiastic over
war news, too conscious of our strength too proud
over resources and industrial achievements, too
confirmed in the belief that we are the whole
show" is present. No one can deny it. Salts
faction over the splendid showing of our fighters
and military Organization is gradually changing
into boastful spirit of egotsm. 1t behooves
us to remember that our brave Allies have en-
dured hardships for four years so that we would
be able to deliver the final stroke.
Our soldiers overseas have nothing of this
fragrant vice in their make-ups. The Stars and
Stripes official paper of the American Expedi-
tionary Forces, whose editors know the American
fighter first hand, and have seen with their own
eyes what France and England have done in the
past, does not indulge in idle boasting or vain
self gloryng 1t strikes tone in all it's dis
cussions of the war theme, and even warns the
papers back home to refrain from headlines that
read, Americans Smash Big Hun Attack" and
yankees Strew Battlefield with German Dead."
1t objects to this kind of headlines and to the
spirit back of them, namely, of exaggeration and
self glorfication
The Enquirer calls attention to the peril in
words that deserve to be remembered and acted
upon. Says the editorial:
1t is this bumpousness Of which America stands
in peril To it's predisposed by nature.
Our growth has phenomenal prosperity uninter
rupted. We have had anything to take down.
now for the first time in history, have step
ped out upon world stage to play part, and with

ringing with applause. President Wilson has been &C
knowledged be the leading figure in the world. Our

"Pepgen's success in Muncie has
been amazing" Hundreds of people
including merchants, manufacturers,
professional men, the highest class OF
mechanics, laborers, and railroad
men, as well as innumerable women
have told what it has done for them.
Mrs VIM A. Miller, Ills East Sey-
mour street, says:
"'My husband, who works for the
Big Four Railway. was frequently
troubled with cramps after eating. He
had to be very careful what he ate.
He took a great many kinds Of medi-
cines but nothing seemed to help him
much. Finally he tried Pepgen and
that went right to the spot He hasn't
been troubled since he took the first
few doses. Besides he has a better
appetite and nothing he eats hurts
him.

Pepgen is the embodiment of many
Of the old-fashioneds American herb
remedies, such as peppermint, black
cohosh and fringe tree bark, as well
as some newly discovered such as
Peruvian bark; used by the natives of
Peru. All are blended into one match
less tonic, and treated by the Special
Pepgen process which does not con-
tain one drop of alcohol or other tenn
porary stimulant.
Pepgen is designed to prevent sick
ness of the stomach, kidneys and
liver as well as relieve It. 1t combats
little ills today thereby insuring health
tomorrow. 1t gives such tremendous
strength to the vital organs that dis
ease has little chance to make inroads
upon the system.

A very penetrating liniment is
made from mustard, sassafras, red
pepper, menthol and ammonia. 1t

In severe cases of rheumatism,

this liniment should be used in con-

GOOD HORSES NOT CHEAP

In the last previous issue. The Mes
senger published an article concerning
the low prices at which horses have
been sold this fall in certain portion
of the state, which article has resulted
in several men coming to the office and
telling the editor that the article in
question has created an erroneous i'm
preston They say that the better
type of horses as general proposition
throughout the state, are bringing very
satisfactory prices, but that the high
price of feed has undoubtedly resulted
in low prices for horses of inferior
quality. They say that good horses
will be very valuable on the farms the
coming year, and it is only those that
cannot earn their keep that are being
sold cheaply. 1t it matter of which
the editor knows but little, but the
views Of those who hold that good
horses are good property is borne out
by the following extract taken from a
recent government publications:
According to reports received by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, the situation in the horse
breeding industry reveals the fact that
there are many nondescript and plug
horses Cutting the markets. This con-
dition, it is believed, affects the horse
industry in general. The real good
animals are still commanding satisfac-
tory prices, but the misfits are being
sold for considerably less than the cost
of production. The saving of additional
feed bills is said to be the motive which
prompts the producer to dispose of this
class of horses, regardless of price.

WAR COSTS.

Before the war an American Con-
gress that appropriated as much as a
billion dollars for Governmental ex-
penses during single year was con-
sidered very extravagant- However,
we have recently become so accus-
toned to the idea of monstrous war
appropriations that the fact that the
Urgent Deficiency Bill, recently in
troduced in the House of Representa-
tives, totals more than $4,000, 0,000,-
900 Cor approximately six times as
much as the total annual expenses
of the Government before the war;
causes but little comment. More
over, even the fact that the cost of
running our Federal Government this
year, including payments and author
izations, already amounts to the
enormous sum of $36,136,997, ,439,
excites only passing interest. This
attitude, is, of course, due to the
fact that these matters are now COM
pletely overshadowed by the epoch
making events of the war. When
peace comes, however, we have time
for careful thought, the ways in
which these vast funds were spent
will receive very close attention.

PRESCOTT SAYS TODAY.

Peace or no peace, war or no war,
keep on saving food. This is the
message of the United States Food
Administration, whose leaders real
ize that the outcome of the present
situation will only increase the re-
sponsibilities of the United States no
matter how events turn.
Under any circumstances the ma
ton is bound by the food pledge of
August, 1918. Make your plans for
victory, the Allies were told; Amer
ica's contribution, among other
things, will be seventeen and a half
million tons Of food. Whether the
victory came in the fall of 1918 or
the summer of 1919, America is
bound. If it is to be thankoffering
instead of a pledge of hopes deferred,
so much the better. Changes of sit
uation may increase the burden on
American resources, they cannot les
sen the obligation. Sending seven
teen and half million tons of food
means saving, it will come no other
way.

NEVER A NIGHT
AWAY FROM HOME
A REASON FOR THE UNITED
WAR CAMPAIGN
Bruce Barton Tells Eloquently of
the Things Your Money
Will Buy.

Next Sunday the people of Vienna
will subscribe their share of the United
War Campaign fund. They will do it
voluntarily and thus double the glory.
The money they give will all be spent
for the protection and comfort of the
soldier boys and now that the war is
over they will need this aid as never
before.
Bruce Barton, in the following sketch,
tells very eloquently of why everyone
should give to the limit to this fund:
''Ths whole town was gathered on
the platform that morning to see the
train pull out-men and women and
children. waving and cheering and try
ing hard to keep on smiling through
their tears.
Out of the car windows leaned the
boys to wave a last good-by.
Just average, clear-eyed country
town boys; twenty of them altogether.
And seventeen of them had never slept
a night away from home before.
They are dwelling in a strange land
tonight, whose language they cannot
understand.
But across the mud and the snow a
light CLEANS warm from a hut on the
edge of the town. and inside good cheer
and happiness are ready for whoever
will come in and claim them.
Friendship dwels in the hut; keep its
warm fires burning bright this winter.
Let it be perfectly clear to the mer
over there that you have not forgotten
To the men that only little while
ago were boys who had never slept q
night away from home."

TWO KILLED At
MORRIS CROSSING
p. M. PASSENGER TRAIN KILLS
BROTHER AND SISTER
James and Myrtle Bacon Victims
of Attempt to Beat a
Locomotive.

James Bacon, aged %, and Myrtle
Bacon, aged Ia, brother and sister, died
shortly after their automobile was
struck by a southbound Pere Marquette
passenger train on the north crossing
at Mt. Morris at $50 last Friday night,
the skull of each being crushed.
The victims resided on farm two
miles east of Montrose. The automo-
bile also contained their mother, Mrs.
Jennie Bacon, and Miss Ethel Britton.
The Bacon girl jumped in time to save
herself but was caught in the crash
through an attempt to get her mother
out.
The crossing watchman waved two
lanterns until he had to jump in order
to save himself from the train. The
automobile party were aware of their
danger, but it appears that James
Bacon, who was driving, took chance
on getting over in time rather than risk
putting on the brakes, as they were
travelling in heavy rain. The party
was going home from Flint.
The body of Myrtle Bacon was thrown
about 20 feet but James Bacon was
crushed under the forward wheels Of
the locomotive. The two who were
killed were riding in front.
The motor of the engine was smash
ed to bits and the car caught fire, the
chemical engine being called to put out
! the blaze.
James and Myrtle Bacon leave their
mother, two brothers at home. William
and Fred. and one sister. Mrs. Pearl

stroyed by fire.

PROCLAMATION.

The tragic war, which for fifty
one months has rocked the founda-
tions of the earth, is over. One hun
dred and fifty-five billions of dol
lars have been spent, forty millions
of men have been under arms and
more than eight million human lives
have been sacrificed.
But now peace has come to calm
the world, and it is fitting, while we
mourn for those who have yielded
up their lives in the cause of Democ-
racy, that we should rejoice and give
thanks for peace with victory.
Therefore, l, Albert E. Sleeper,
Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby designate and proclaim
Sunday, November 18th, next, VIC
TORY SUNDAY; and l call upon the
people of Michigan to gather on that
day in their accustomed places of
worship, and there by prayer and
praise to render thanks to Almighty
God for the triumph of our cause
and the restoration of peace on earth.
Given under my hand and the
Great Seal of the State this twelfth
day of November, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and
eighteen, and of the Commonwealth
