II there is one thing Ohio Coun-
ty needs more than any other thing
1t is a spirit of cooperation, OF
community spirit. In this county
as well as in all other counties
where the population is almost
wholly rural. there is evidence of a
tendency toward factionalism and
clannishness. If any thing is pro-
posed somebody naturally takes ur
with the idea and the fellow who
does not like one who takes up for
it, opposes it for the same reason
and no other. Thus many a good
proposal has been cast in the rubb-
ish heap because of factional
wrangling and family brawls. Most
of this is due to isolation, and, CIV
en- a good system of roads, the peo-
pie will see larger vision and
learn that lit is not good for one
to live for ones self alone" or for
"me and my wife, my son and his
wife; us four and no more"

Next Thursday Will tell the tale
about the future of Germany and
of the world. Will she sign the
peace terms or will she not, is the
question. They have been present
ed and well not be greatly modified.
The American army waits along the
| line of the Rhine, eager to go for
ard, eXpectant and awaiting the
word England is still there with
her millions; France has not yet
withdrawn her legions. Germany
is broken, the enemy on her soil
and her navy gone; without stable
government, without sympathy and
at the feet of her conquerors SEEM
ingly. But this time things have
changed to what they were when
/ tire s;1mlstfce was signed Italy is
out of tune, naughty and threaten
ing trouble; Japan is willing and
ready to step in where she can get
most gain; Russia would be plain
ly on the side of Germany. And
more than all, if the struggle
should be opened all the German
people would be of one accord. 1t
would be a war to the knife, a
fight for the determination of the
German race, a death-struggle of a
nation. We can imagine the aw-
full cost of such a war and can
shudder at the very contemplation
or even possibility. Yet it is posi-
bic. The world awaits with bated |
breath the result of the next few
days.

Soldiers returning from overseas
exhibit a wholesome dislike of the
Europeans. None have we met

those peoples to whom we gave so
much and from whom we received
so little regard us with any too
great degree of respect.

SUBSTITUTE FOR ROYAL ARMS
Placing of Cap and Bells on English
Paper Was the Origin of the
Word "FooIscap"

Several explanations have been CIV
en- of the meaning of the word fools
cap" as applied to certain class of
paper One of the explanations is that
when Charles l of England found his
revenue short, he granted certain priv
ileges, amounting to monOpolies, and
among these was the manufacture of
paper, the exclusive right to which
was sold to certain parties, who grew
rich and enriched the government at
the expense of those who were obliged
TO use the paper. AT this time all
English paper bore, in watermarks,
the royal arms. The parliament under
Cromwell made jest of this law, and
among other indignites to the mem
DRY of Charles it was ordered that
the royal arms be removed from the
paper and the fools cap and bells be
substituted. These were in their turn
removed when the Rump parliament
was dismissed, but paper for the size
of the parliament's journal still bears
the name of "foolscap."

Why not be an adviser to China
with good salary? All you have to
do to get such sinecure, according
to Ellen N. La Notes sPeking Dust"
Century,, is to have your government
bring little pressure TO bear on
China In chapter of her book writ
ten in Peking Miss La Motto says /:
'There Is quaint custom here, which,
as far as know, is unique in the his
tory of international relations. That
Is the custom of giving advice to
China. Any country can do 1t, appar-
emily. Any country that thinks China
would be benefited by little disinter-
ested and helpful counsel can see that
she gets it--and that she pays for it,
too. Any person who wishes a lucra-
tive position can get his government
TO appoint him as an adviser to
China. and his government viii see
to II that China pays him a salary.
As far as | know, China does not ask
for this advice; it Is thrust upon her
unsought. But she must pay for the
privilege, whether she likes it or not.
SO over they come, these various 'ad-
visers' from various foreign nations.
and settle down here In Picking as the
official advisers of this and that, and
draw their salaries from this bankrupt
old government. The China Year Book
for 1916 gives list of twenty-five such

KILLED UNDER
WAGON WHEELS
Charles Frans Meets Death When
Frightened Horses Hurl Him
In Path of Heavy Lum-
Der Load.

Charles Frans of Diamond Lake met
his death Friday afternoon at two o.
clock while driving home from Atwat-
er with a large load of lumber with
which he planned to put up garage
on his farm. He had reached point
about a mile from his home when
the fatal accident took place. The
coroner who was summoned after the
discovery Of the tragedy accounted
for the death as follows:
Frans was driving down a rather
steep hill and had almost reached the
bottom when number of the boards
on top Of the load slid forward and
panied the flanks of the two horses.
Frans unable to help himself was car
ried along with the moving lumber
and as the team set out with a wild
gallop he fell off the load and under
the very wheels of the wagon. He
fell with his head under the left
front wheel with the huge weight Of
fifteen hundred pounds or more crush
ing it and causing instant death. The
horses continued their flight until
they arrived at the farm, where they
were caught by Frans' sons. The boys
hurried quickly in search of their fa-
