ing a brief but terrific war, Bismarck was insistent. Human nature is
much the same in France as in Germany. The French cannot be espei
ciauy blamed if they wish to reverse the situation.

The sooner the Germans return to orderly department at home,
the sooner viii they get from under the heavy load which the late

There docs not seem to be much difference, after all. between the
things that President Wilson says ought to be and the things that
Premier Ccmenceau says France wants.
From all parts OF the country come reports that men Of big af

JOHN NOODLE
IN A HILARIOUS
MOCK TRIAL
Women Sit as "Jurors" in Make.
Believe Court ON New
Years.

The mock trial of John Noodle on
the pretended charge Of having har-
bored booze" in his place of business
was replete with comical situations and
afforded the indoor picnic throng at
the Methodist church all sorts of
amusement.
AS stated in Tuesdays edition of TINS
paper, it was staged that A. Sherin
should act as a pretended judge, with
A. III. Hasche as the prosecuting at
torney" and A. L. Sherin representing
the defense.
The purpose was two-fold: first to
have a little fun for the picnic attend
ants; second, to stage a little practical
experience for women jurors, since the
m have now become full-fledged
citizens upon an equality with the men.
The following jurors were impaneled:
Mesdames Z. il Tenney, r. NJ. Stewart,
A. 4. Hopkinss w. A. Erckenbrack, c..
r. SchooIcrafts O.. w. Peterson, Geo.
Farrell, O.. a. Craig, w. H. Flint, Hal
Clark and Thos. Forsyth, and Miss
Nellie Barker. II. r. Bryant was clerk
of courts and D. w. Peterson sheriff.
OF course, everybody, including the
witnesses, was sworn not to tell the
truth nor anything like the truth. The
~adaptability of the women was dis
5cernible from the first. Mrs. Tenny, for
instance answering questions, said she
did not know John Noodle, never heard
of such a man, nor his store, and had
never heard anything about the case.
She was accepted, of course. Mrs.
Andrew Daley, not wishing to serve,
said she knew John Noodle well and
had already formed an opinion, to re
move which would require evidence.
She was excused, of course. Miss Nellie
Barker, replying to the question
whether she had prejudices against
married men, said that on the contrary
she was disposed to be prejudiced in
their favor,
Ed. Emerson and II. G. Blodgett were
the star witnesses for the prosecution.
They said they had discovered the wet
goods in Johns place, admitting on
cross examination, however, that they
had been drawn to the store through
the attractiveness of q couple of the
lady clarks.
John Noodle, in defense said the bot
tied goods was not whiskey at all. lis
said 1t was Knockout drops intended
for the two fellows who had been an
|noying two of his good-looking clerks.
He said he bought the stuff of d. f..
Jones, who, sustaining John, said the.
contents were ether, carbolic acid and
one or two other ingredients, to drink
which would knock a fellow out for the
time being but not permanently injure
him.
Following the COURTS Instructions
the jury retired for consultation, taxi
ing about half a bottle of the wet
goods with them. Presently they return
led with an almost empty bottle, de-
claring the defendant guilty" IS
charged in the indictment" The jur-
ors had obviously freely sampled the
contents of the bottle.
The scourt. imposed a sentence OF
tfirty days in the workshouse and a
fine of one dollar. The work.house seh-
tefce WAS suspended providing the fine
was paid immediately into the treasury
of the Ladies' Aid Society.
Taken altogether, The "tciaia was
about the funniest thing that has hap
peled IN Watertcwnf q some time.

boys Of the High School Of Commerce
In Boston took up the idea and be-
came minute men to their class
mates.
Thrift proved subject directly in
line with the policies of the school,
and did much to increase investment
in War Savings Stamps. Some of the
arguments presented by these future
financiers are good for grown-ups
too:
Before the war Americans were
MASTERS. They did not seem to
know the value of a reserve fund.
Today the large majority of the people
in this country are saving But they
do not save enough. There may be
soon a reversal of the money situa-
ton of America Where there is
plenty now, there may be need, and
Americans must store the wealth OF
their nation for the future. To invest
It is better than to hoard it.

backing of the Governmental that
