Sometimes my daddy likes to tease, And takes me by surprise; I cannot always tell his jokes, Unless I watch his eyes. The other day he said, My boy, Where did you get those clothes ? Who bought that hat that you have

1, WHEN THE WAR WILL END
(By Roy K. Moulton in Judge )

(By Roy K. Moulton in Judge )
 The question most frequently asked througho- t the world today is: "When will the Great War End ?" But if anybody is really desirous of knowing, the answer is easily ob- tained. AS matter of fact each per son may pick out the sxact date to suit himself.
 The writing scientists who believe in the slogan to the effect that it pays to advertise are ending the war continually. A scientist of this sort is a person who can end war at any time which best suits his con- venience.
 Select your own peace day at leisure.
 Prof. Emmanuel Bibbs, A. M., Ph. D., F. o. B., the eminent scientist of Hokum College has the duration of the war all nicely figured out in calories, kilowatts, amperes cubic inches, longitude. latitude, blood pressure and average annual rainfall. Tn a learned article in the Pedantic Monthly, he says: -The Great War will end at 2:15 p. m., March 2l, 1919. Napoleon was wrong when he said wars were won with money. Wars are won with fats. Wars have changed since Napoleon's time. Now we . ar nothing of money but every
The courier-index., 1918-05-24

thing of fats. When an arm is out of fats there is nothing to do but sur render. I have carefully analysed the present and future supply of fats in Germany, figuring the latitude and longitude, the blood pressure of the hogs and sheep and the average annual rainfall in the Teutonic coun- tries and I am prepared to say that the last soldier will consume the last calory of fat at the exact moment mentioned
 Those who are not pleased with Prof. Bibbs' prediction can turn to the findincs of Dr. Lemuel Fink, the noted geologist who is the worlds authority on potash. Others may know about perlmutter but the doctor stands alone as an expert on potash. He says: "Wars cannot be fought without potash. It is the prime necessity. Nations way run out of men and money and food ut if they have plenty of potash they can continue to fight indefinitely. I have, by scientific research, es- tablished the fact that the worlds supply of potash will be exhausted at. 5:37 a. m., January IF, 1921. Therefore, the conflict will automat- ically cease at that moment"
 Prof. J. Buckingham Blk, the noted traveller, announces that the war will end on Christmas Day, 1918. The end will come about noon. Prof. Blk is an authority be- cause he spent two weeks in the German town of Munich, Bavaria, in 1879. He talked with ten of the most prominent and best posted men in Munich at the lime and was able to arrive at the conclusion mem tioned. True they did not agree ex- actly upon the moment peace would be declared but he took their var ious estimates and struck an aver age.
 Mme Cheeza Baer, the eminent past, present and futurer who has predicted many important events, been interviewed upon the subject and states definitely that the war will be over on February 21, 1881, and there are any who believe she is right. The madasse has an enviable record. She predicted the San Fran cisco earthquake as soon as she re- ceived the papers next morning af- ter it happened She predicted the Russian Revolution within two days after it occurred. Her most recent prediction was to the effect that the Kaiser will die. It is believed to be a certainty that she is correct in this prediction. Last year she predicted that many steamships would be sunk by submarines and her prediction came true. Early in the present year she predicted heavy fighting on the western front during June, July and August, also during March, September and April and she was correct. Her powers in this di- rection are almost ncanny.
 It was Mime. Baer who, when she heard that Gen. Pershing had gone to France, predicted that he would soon be followed by an American con. l tingent of soldiers and again she was correct. She has been right so of

RED CROSS REPORT
(By Mrs. J. I. Morris)

donations among their friends, and after having rendered the boys a most delightful banquet, they had a balance of $255 which was sent Tn by Anna Strong and donated to our local Red Cross. I wish to assure the teacher and pupils that their good work in behalf of his worthy cause is greatly appreciated.
 Some time ago, Uncle Jim Thomp- son. colored, made six hickory walk ing sticks and sent to me with re- quest that they be used for our wounded and disabled soldiers, and last Monday afternoon he sent in six more walking sticks with the fol lowing letter addressed to MT. Me- Clintock:
 MT. McClintock,
 After having heard the speech Sat urday, am sending six more walking sticks for our boys. Please send them to the Red Cross hospital for me as a gift. I know what a good stick means to a cripple and lame man as l have to use one myself, and the boys will appreciate them, am sure. I have no money nor am I able to work any and make any, but I am trying to do my bit to help lick the kaiser.
 Yours for our country,
 JIM THOMPSON.
 Thanks, Uncle Jim. Rest assured we will see that your splendid walk ing sticks will reach our soldier boys through the Red Cross, and l am confident they will be highly ap- preciated, and more especially when they know they were made by man who is cripple and has to use stick himself.
 Accompanied by Mrs. Hattie Ford and Mrs. l.. M. Jackson Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Morris went to the Mount Pearu Colored Baptist church near La Grange, where she organ ized an auxiliary among the colored people. Quite number of the lad ies of La Grange being present, and about fifty colored people. A Red Cross organization was perfected among the colored people whereby they will work in connection and un- der the La Grange auxiliary. Forty five members were secured and each member pledged themselves to pay into the treasurer 10 cents each week to be used in buying materials to make hospital suppnes. 35. of the members paid their pledges and the ladies gave them quite a few dona- tions of cash to get them started in their work. I feel sure these colored women are going to do splendid work for this most noble cause. Miss Hetsye Bonner, Mrs Russwurm, Mrs. Hart, Mrs. Hughey and many other of the ladies of La Grange have volunteered to instruct them in their work and will be ever ready to assist them whenever they can.
 These colored people have respond ed nobly to all the causes, and when they fully understand what the Red Cross means to suffering humanity and the great part it must take Tn the winning of this war, then l am sure they will ever be found ready and willing to do their part to help end this war and bring evei lasting peace to the world.
 Chapters are again reminded that National Red Cross definitely op- poses any games, lotteries, rallies OR other forms of appeal which show gambling features. The Red Cross makes such a great appeal and the people of this country are so anxious to have it fulfill it's obligations as an interpreter of the nations sentiments that it is unnecessary for any com munity to have to resort to such methods to raise funds.

commodate the people, and every
body was happy.
The racing in the afternoon was
exceptionally good, and was witness

attention. The greensboro band was
on the grounds, and gave the music
lovers a great treat Good order
and good humor prevailed through
out the day. The Fourth Of July

ably be repeated for many years to

by a conference of Democrats, who
jumped at the chance of "adjourning
politics" in their rock-ribbed Repub-
lican state by nominating a candidate
whose means and influence are as
ample as his Republicanism is dubi-
Gus. Certainly Michigan organi-
cation Democrat who would object to
Mr.. Ford because he has been CLASH
fed as a Republican exaggerates the
importance of a somewhat damaged
label. The conscientious Democrat
might object to Mr.. Ford as emphat-
ically as a Republican, but not one
who is looking for election results
And now the adjournment of pol
itics appears in Illinois, where the
Democrats propose that Illinois, one
of the banner Republican states of
the union, shall accept the ministra-
lions of our prismatic senior senator
for six years more.
Thus the full beauty of adjourn
ment is interpreted TO us DAY by dayv
and we begin to see that it means
not the adjournment of politics but
the adjournment of Republican poll
tics. The qualifying adjective evil
IDENTIFY dropped off before Mr.. Will
sons delivery, or perhaps the report
ers failed to hear it.. But that omis-
sion is now made good. The adjourn
ment of politics means the election to
Congress in all solid Republican
states of Democrats or Republicans
who worked for and voted the DEM
ocratic ticket at the last presidential
election.
