Cove Repubi1can-G Gazette:
q If you have the reputation of doing
good work you won't need to cut your
prices to get the job
1.-THE less ice a fellow cuts in the
community the more apt he is to
think the world will stop revolving
when he passes in his checks"
There is an existing French statute
which prevents bodies of the dead be-
ing shipped from that country, hence
it is not possible for the bodies of the
dead soldier boys to be brought home
until that law is repealed or changed
in some way. sss
Az effort is now being made to
have the name of the Panama canal
changed to Roosevelt, in honor of
the dead president who did more to
make the beginning of the canal pos
sible than any one else in the United
States. AS long as it is United
States canal it ought to be known by
some United States name and "Roose-
velt'' is as good as any that can be
suggested.
It can also be noted that the high
est peak of the Black Hills mountains
in South Dokota is to be officially
named for President Roosevelt
July 18th. Heretofore the peak has
been known as Sleeps mountain. 1t
is over six thousand feet high and
from the top of it can be seen the
plains over which Colonel Roosevelt
hunted buffalo and herded cattle in the
early days.
Delivery truck routes are being
established through the country in the
more thick1y settled parts of the state.
| A schedule of prices or rates has been
established and farmers need not loose
| any time from their work by going to
town.
! Which reminds US that it viii not
be long until m otor truck grocery and
produce stores will be travelling
through the country, and, with the
farm tractors which never get tired
/ the farmer can just work about all
the time and need not come to town
4 at ALL
But then, there is a more cheerful
side of this situation. The farmer can
| transact all his business from his
home and come to town on a pleasure
| trip about three times a week. Think
| of thati No business to transact just
| come to town, take in the picture
| shows and visit with friends.
| It has been finally figured out why
President Wilson is staying so long
in France. Six months service over
seas will give him gold service stripe
and he is now entitled to wear one. He
| will probably soon return to the Unit
ed States-if Mrs. Wilson is willing
/ There seems to be no probability
that the republican congress viii s.sign
/ here and thus practically repeal the
war time prohibition law as President
Wilson directed in his message to the
4 special session. The order has already
been turned down once a rider
amendment to the agricultural bill.
i The ssHun'' is still hun The big
bunch of German war vessels which
had been informed and practically sur
rendered by the germans, at Sapa
Flow, England, were sunk by their
german crews last Saturday. Evident
/ " no dependence can be put in the
hun and the old saying will have to be
revised thus: "a good hun is dead
hun
i The Germans will sign the peace
treaty as it is handed to them bat
4 they viii make considerable noise
about it before signing There is
nothing else for them to do
Sign your name to whatever news

because the name of the writer wa:
not attached to it. We do not want t.
