So Jackson ayers "Rimmy' snored so and kept talking to himself until went out and pluck ed an icicle, jabbed him in the ribs with it and yelled: Whose brand is it? 'CO-bar, you blankety blank fool 'Rimmy' answered back in a large, loud voice, as he rapidly come alive. Course 1 don't know what he was dreamin' about, and I don't want 'Rimmy' to know l told this, for he's gettin' so stuck up now," carefully advised Mr. Jackson. "Rimmy" says he hopes Jackson gets wounded as bad as Constable Parsons did, if he keeps on that-a-way.

NEWTON'S NEW LOCATION.

Some of our business men have de- cided not to await the coming of spring to start improvements. Billy Newton, the barber, is one such. He has made necessary arrangements and has a force of men busily at work renovating and making changes in the room formerly occupied by the Brooks Studio, next to Switzer's hardware store, and about the first of March will open. modern, up-to-the-minute barber shop there.
 Newton has been located in the White pool hall for a long time and has host of customers who will fol. low him to his new location. He states that his new shop will be "all. white," with every new wrinkle that will be appreciated here, and that ht will start with two chairs. The loca tion is ideal and Newton's spirit oi enterprise and optimism deserves s large success from the very start ot his new venture.

WILLIAMS PEOPLE
 MAKE PROTEST

A mass meeting of the people was held at Williams last week at which number of speeches were made by representative citizens, against the jail sentence of George Baumgartner on the charge of selling liquor. Res olutions were passed asking that his sentence be suspended. Baumgartner was convicted of selling liquor or giv- ing liquor to detective and the case was carried to the supreme court where the lower court was confirmed. The wet and dry advocates alike did not believe the sentence was a just one, not did they believe that MT. Baumgartner was in the habit of vio- lating the law. A great deal of feel ing has been aroused among the peo- pie of Williams over the matter. s~

UNTIL 1T is ERADlCATE0 GER
MANY MUST BE WATCHED
CLOSELY FOR SOME TIME
CAN THEY COME BACK
Question Raised After Jack Johnson
Whipped Jim Jefries
Is Revived.

Do you recall the day Jim Jeffries
heavyweight pugilist, fought Jack
johnson, the giant negro, for the
worlds championship OF the ring? Do
You recall the fact that following that
fight it became an axiom that They
never come back?'
1t seems that way Napoleon at
tempted it and failed. Emperor Nicho-
las, the Little Father Of all the Rus
Sians," did not come back Nor did
old Abdul the Damned, old Sultan
Abdul-Hamid Nor did King Constan-
tine of Greece, who played the Ger
man game in the Egean.
The rule that held in the prize ring
seems to hold in the field of state
craft-and yet. Don't forget that the
rOyalist party in what used to be AM
perial Germany is a powerful one.
Prince Henry Of Prussia long since
sounded the call to the believers in
king and kultur
The Hun took a whipping, but II Is
hard to say that the old spirit is con-
quered. Kaiser Bills may never hold
the same power in Hunland that they
held a few months ago, bat the "Di-
vine Rights of Kings" has a powerful
hold on the German mind
So, with the making of a peace and
the taking Of guarantees and the fir
ing of cannon announcing the end OF
the War-al is not done The plain
truth is that Germany must be watched
a long time yet. States that have
been rent apart have a way Of putting
themselves together again. That Is
why the armies of .he allies must be
maintained in considerable strength.
That is why the American soldiers are
not all home from France.
The allies are believers in de.
moCTacy and the old Prussianism is a
believer in autocracy. The two sys-
tens will not mix. They will mix no
more than oil and water Merely set
ting up a government in Germany,
that looks all right, will hardly con,
vince the allies The country must
be urieted. There must be no doubt
that Germany is going back to work,
hack to the ways of peace, back to
paying her indemnities and to her
legitimate business.
Until all that is done we will be pay
ing something of the price of war.
This payment will take the shape Of
money as we'll as men, for the men
must be maintained there. Wherefore
comes the Victory Liberty Loan, the
loan that is to guarantee the right
kind of a peace.

was organized, and having proven it.
self of so much value and so vital
70 the social accomplishments of the
school, teachers throughout the coun-
try have learned that this spirit of
service that the children have devel-
oped during the period of war must
not be allowed to die.
w. j Studebaker, formerly city SUI.
perintendent of schools at Des Moines,
Iowa. himself an educator, who has
taken over the work of National Di-
rector of Junior Activities, realizes
what potent factor the education of
the children of America in the spirit of
service has been in the period of war
and what it can develop under the new
Peace Program for the Juniors. This
new spirit Of service, this new power
to do, the new impulse to give is
awaiting the new Peace Program to-
find it's outlet.
But the spirit of service, as epito-
nized in Junior Red Cross, must have
the power of sympathy and the love
of mankind behind it, in order to pre-
vent mechanical effort. When these
three factors are properly mixed in
the work of the Juliors it makes the
thing that stretches the hands Of
help across the sea.

APPEALS TO THE INDIANS
Cato Sells in Discussion of War Saw

ENerpaody.
/. Cowardice.
2. Selfshness.
s. Braggadocio.

Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian
affairs, has made an appeal to workers
in the Indian service to do everything
possible to help make a success of the
1919 War Savings campaign. Mr.
Sells not only gives a searching analy-
sis of the motives for thrift, but sug-
gests a plan for making the thrift
movement an instrument for bringing
the Indian to his full stature Of in
dependent, selEreliant citizenship.
The commissioner urges the work
ers to bring home TO the Indians, par
ticularly the young and middleaged
the immediate end lasting benefits
Of savings made with a right purpose
This practice, he points out, must
have worthy aim as its economic
virtue and when, he says, boys and
girls are thus properly started their
little income investments commit
them concretely to that aim, and by
repetition develop the elements Of
manly and womanly character"
NJ. Sells sounds the keynote of the
governments great thrift campaign,
when he says; Il ask you, therefore,
to push the sale of Victory Notes and
war stamps vigorously as an educa-
tional and economic matter no less
than patriotic one, and to do every
thing practicable to get Indians, young
and old, in the way Of earning money
and saving some part of it, for thrift
investment, and that you discourage
cashing such stamps prior to maturity,
except in case Of extreme need"
