MATRIMONIAL DONTS.

1t is not the woman who is for
ever chasing everyone in the house
with a broom or duster who makes
the most impression as to the de-
sirableness of neatness and order.
While she is making a martyr of
herself in her frantic attempts to
always keep the hearth tydy, the
woodwork polished and the carpets
free from spot or speck, she is
often driving away the better ele-
ments of the home-peace and
harmony. A child can not enjoy
it's playthings without place in
which to play, nor a man feel free
in his own house if he must be al
ways remembering that not so
much as a book or magazine shall
be left one moment out of place
when not being read.
Luxures and the surroundings
of wealth and idleness can not
bring contentment to young wo-
man of pluck and good sense. She
would far rather deny herself all
luxuries and enjoy the glorious
senss of independence which her
own exertions bring. If parents
could but realize this they would,
perhaps ofterner assist their
daughters in plannings gself-support-
ing honorable enjoyment, wherein
the restless rowing of the mind
might be checked.
What do you think of the man
who will sit at the table three
times a day and thank the Lord
for bread which he has swindelled
some poor man or beat his grocer
out of?
Home without woman's care
and woman's love is like no home
only the empty nest in a winters
gale from which the birds have
flown.
A foolish woman can make a
lover a husband, but it takes a
bright woman to keep a husband
a lover.
When you talk to a man or a
child about his faults, don't stand
over him with a club.

10 you remember in the book

away from the lepers crying "Un-
cleanl Uncleanr"

I'm the history of the Old East.
The leper must cry out "Unclean!'

self now in something of the leper's
status. The Hun orgy of blood
and rapine, of fire and sword has
ended. Germany sowed the wind
and she is reaping the whirlwind.
Decent men stand away from the
German. 1t may be years before
any German is permitted to forget
that.
When the first squadron of
whipped sea-sharks, the subma-
rines of Germany, came into an
English port, after the armistice,
a curious thing happened. After
all the formalities had been COM
pleted, one of the German officers
offered to shake hands with an
English captain.
The Englishman stepped back
ward and turned his back on the
Hun. He couldn't take the hand
of baby-killer, a ea-assassin.
Decent men don't fight the way
the Hun fought.
WILL PAY IN OSTRACIsM.
How many generations will it
be before the hand of civilization
will again be extended to the Ger
man? A good many, possibly.
Germany will pay in ostracism,
IN distrust and she will pay in
other ways as we'll as IN financial
sense. But the Germans have
only Germany to blame.
1t is not going to be easy for
us to forget that she broke through
all conventions of civilized war
fare. That her soldiers were
turned loose to do their worst
wherever they invaded country.
That they ran amuck at Louvarin,
that they plundered in Eiege, that
they devastated all France, that
they destroyed churches, that they
plundered like savages.
And no man has ever heard or
read in the orders of the old Ger
many army of a single one of these
looters and murderers being pun
ished for their crimes. We want
to recall all of these things. Just
recall them and keep them in your
mind while the drive for!the Fifth
loan the Victory Loan is on.
TOO EARLY TO FORGET.
They will help to remind you
of some of the things that America
has been spared thanks to our
getting into this war and coming
up to the scratch in time to hold
the Hun out of Paris and finally
beat him to his knees.
1t won't hurt to rem ember that
the other Liberty Loan helped to
cage this wild beast.
Tt is from the perditien on earth
that the Germans carried into Rus
sia, Belgium, France, Serbia and
Rumania, that this country has es-
eaped. No man can repress a
sbudder when he thinks what the
hand of the United States has es-
eaped, when he thinks what would
have inevitably come to pass in
America if we had not beaten
down the Hun.
When the nation is calling oD

AMERICAN RAILWAY
TROOPS IN RUSSIA
PERFORM Big FEAT
In. Two Months Is Miles of
Wreckage Becomes
Railroad.

Soroka, Russian Lapland, Aug. %.
Pushing forward daily into terri
tory of the bosheviki and often under
fire, the American railway troops on
the Thurman front in two months
transformed rs miles of dynamited
and burned bridges and railway,
wrecked and destroyed by retreating
bolsheviki, into a workable railway
which they manned, operated and
maintained.
To these troops the British COM
mand gives much CT the credit of the
Is mile advance toward Petrozavodsk.
In the contingent were Sc officers
and 675 men, comprising the 18TH
and 1853 companies of railway troops
as a special battalion under Major E.
E. MacMoreland, Kansas City. and
every kind of railroader from sup
erintendent to a section hand.
The Yanks worked so fast in fact
that the bolsheviki according to pris-
oners taken, believed that they had
miraculous machines for track lay
ing and adjustable bridges which
they dropped in as they went along.
1t was all done by a gang under Capt.
&c. J. Jones, of Paterson, N. j., who
lin Alaskan and American jobs
was nicknamed "Hurry-up JONES'
The men worked seventeen hours
daily with the enemy right ahead
and the British artillery right be-
hind awaiting construction. There
were also battles and skirmishes in
many small sidings where on several
occasions the constructors and also
the trains crews were under fire.
On May 10, while building bridge
under shrapnel fire, the Yanks were
surrounded by bolsheviki shipping
through the woods and dynamiting
the bridge three versts in the rear.
On the way back to repair the bridge
the Yanks were again attacked at
close range but managed to escape.

again. "He fell like beef said
Ivy, :" and | went inside the house"
That wasn't the end of it by any
means, however, for Ivy had hardly
re-entered his home, when the mara
uder forced open the back door. The
preacher got busy with his gunbar-
rels again, and the condition of the
yard yesterday morning furnished
evidence of the battle that went on.
'The last time l hit him he didn't
get up. He lay still, 'cept for kick
ing his leg once or twice, and he'd
quit breathing"
That was when Ivy went for
friend, Brother" Bill Williams, and
it was then he discovered that his
horse had been removed from the
stable, and the weeks washing re-
moved from the line, and attached to
the horse, found tied few yards
from the front gate.
Deputy Sheriff McBurnett was
then notified by Ivy, who declared
he could not name the intruder, tho
he recalled that this fellow or one
bearing great resemblance had frieh-
tened Ivy's daughter some weeks
ago: Ivy's daughter lives about two
miles from her parents.
Deputies McBurnett and Frank
Miner today plan to have the woods
searched for the BODY of the negro,

"Well, you won't get in here Ivy

IL believe that the repeal Of the

would involve serious economic loss.
The act OF March 10. 1918. to save
