difficulties to be settled are not in
considerable; but the one way in
which they most probably will not be
settled are not inconsiderable; but the
one way in whicn they most probably
will not be settled satisfactorily is If
all the contestants try TO be judges Of
their own cases and executors Of their
own awards They would do a great
deal better to restrain the overzealous
elements and prepare to appear before
the tribunal with clean hands and sub
stantial briefs. otherwise, it will not be

The condition Of many Of the stone roads in our
county is disgraceful In addition there are many miles
Of important dirt roads that should be converted into
stone roads as quickly the finances of our county viii

HANK

When war was declared in April
A fellow down south named Hank
Decided to enlist as Dough-boy
AS he was plum true Yank.
They drilled him almost every day,
And he sure worked with a will
AS he wanted to go to aDer Water
land"
And get a shot at Kaiser BILL
They sent him across in steam
ship
But when lie arrived in France
He fell in love with a pretty French
doll
And here starts this Romance.
He forgot about old Kaiser Bill
And when the victory was won
He married his little French maiden
And now the Romance is done.

When a doctor makes mistake
he buries it.
When judge makes a mistake it

take nobody knows the difference.
When an electrician makesa a mis-

Representative Dent, of Ala bama, Democrat, former chairman of the committee, and now the ranking Democrat, made it plain that he in tended to make a fight to keep the size of the army down to 175,0Uo Representative Julius Kahn, of Call fornia, Republican, suggested that it would be better to take up the mat ter tomorrow and discussion on this phase of the bill was deferred.
 The Chief of Staff explained that the original suggestion of officers who outlined the universal military train ing policy in the Army Reorganizs- ton bill provided an eleven-months' training period, but that this had been discarded as a result of his ob- tection.'
 The old idea that it takes three to 15 years to make 0 soldier was dis pelled by the war. Our plan is not like the Pruss.an system. The War Department is opposed to that In toto"
