Sober JUDGMENT
should PREVAIL

In our endeavors to restore normal
conditions in this land of chaos, sane
and sober judgment should prevail.
We have agitators in our midst
whose sole apparent aim is to destroy
our established system of government.
We have others who are consumed
with unrest, are out of harmony with
prevailing methods, and yet are true
and loyal at heart.
We must learn to differentiate be-
tween the two.
The one must be curbed or destroy
ed, while the other should be conserv-
ed and nurtured back to healthy state
of mind.
There is much to perpleX and axas-
,perate US all, but nothing to cause q
palsy of alarm.
1t has taken years of work and wis
dom to create the greatest nation of
earth. 1t will not be wrecked in day.
Energy, perseverance and sober
Judgment will in time restore condi-
tions to some more satisfactory basis,
but only time and patience can bring
about this result.

THE Mother
OF N A n

On the second Sunday in May the
nation Will observe Mothers Day.
Every one knows Mothers Day
why it is, when it is, and for what it
stands.
It comes as close to our hearts as
Christmas or the Fourth of July. for
it is the day upon which we honor the
mother of man.
The arms of motherhood form the
cradle of the human race They are
the rock upon which we rest our hopes
of the future, the guiding star which
leads humanity through the perils of
infancy and into the safe harbor of
maturity.
Pages upon pages could be written
Of the glories of our mothers, but not
al Of the words of the English lang
uage could do them justice
1t is beyond the power of our hum
Bile pen.
All honor to the mother of man!
May her days and her joys upon
earth be many. and may her home in
the next world be one worthy of the
greatest handiwork of God.

AUTOMORILISTS!

Eedison, Wis-The State Highway
Connsisei2n is sending out notices to
vi p2rts Of the state warning automo-
bilists that the dirt roads are not yet
in q condition to be travelled The fact
that these reads are in somewhat bet
ter condition than they were at this
time last year does not warrant their
being used yet. In some sections frost
IS not eli out of the ground, so that
the actual spring break up is not yet
over. Travellers should remember, the
Commissions engineers say, that
roads do not recover from the effects
Of rains at this time of the year as
quickly as they 90 in summer. Long
trips over any roads but surfaced
roads should not be undertaken at this
time of the year. but if they must be
taken travellers must expect to encoun
ter bad conditions even on trunk high
ways

EDUCATING
THE PUBLIC

Certain members of congress have
been stirring up a mess in Washing
ton over what they term a waste of
public funds in the publication of bull
ietins by the various departments and
bureaus.
Not having seen any of the said bull
letins, we are unable to pass judgment
upon their value as educational medi-
ums. And we presume the education
of the public is the primary object of
their publication.
But if the government or congress
is DESTROYS of disseminating useful in
formation relative to agriculture,
health, science, or other subjects, there
is one way, and one only, of reaching
the people who pay the bill.
That way is to use the columns of
the public press and pay the publish
ers a fair price for the space consum-
ed
Practically every citizen of normal
Intelligence reads the newspapers.
This is neWsnaocr acre and the peo-
PIE are lost wi hout them.
Q Earnwent information dissemin-
att ~ this manner would reach the
@r,at y ass Of the people. those for
VII N Il i compiled at great expense,
and would be put to practical purpose
in tie extension of knowledge and the
81 at" development of the country.
To educate the public you must first
reach the public and there is no arm

from Pittsville Record:
The boys, some Of them old ones at
that, are pulling big, fat suckers out
Of Yellow River. Fishing seems to be
better this spring than for some years

is Just right, or whether the people
down at Necedah forget and left the
1sh gate open this spring for a short
lime, we cannot say but we do know
that the kid with the ten cent line

AMERICA should
TAKE THE LEAD

Theoretically the war has made the
world safe for democracy. In reality
it is not safe for anything or for any
body.
There is not a country in the world
in which tranquility reigns. Smolder-
ing unrest and discomfort are every
where. Political volcanoes are on the
point Of eruption by the wholesale.
1t will require much wisdom and
sagacity and many firm hands to bring
order out Of chaos and make this earth
really habitable for mankind.
America the richest and the great
est, should take the lead in a deter
mined struggle to regain international
safety and sanity.
No other country can do as much.

Consider the little bird that chirps
on yoHr window sill. There are many
little birds just like it, and they are
happy and voice that happiness in
song. Why can we not be as irtaIf-

way? For intelligence brings hap

ment, and contentment is the JOY of

HOW TO AVOID BOUS
fBY DR.. W. A. EvansO

J. D. NJ. writes: Il would like to ask
you if | have the boil disease. About
two years ago I had eight boils. This
year had seven, and still have four
on my neck. Every time one testers
get more. | have them fixed with a
black salve, and sometimes [ nave
them squeezed. VIII you please tel
me how could get rid of them? Have
[ bad blood? Do I have to diet?"
Reply.
A good way to get eight b0ils is to
dress the first one with a salve. If you
want surer way to get eight, use
Doultices. To prevent boils on the
neck keep your skin very clean, wear
soft collars, do not shave your neck or
in any way scratch or irritate the skin.
Do not eat candy or desserts. If you
have boil and wish to avoid having
others, do not poultice; do not use
salves; keep your neck very clean. AT
Ter washing with soap and water, aD-
oily borax water. Do not wear any
garment which irritates the skin.
8oils are net caused by bad blood.

As THE EDITOR
SEES II

Have you ever contrasted our A
merican methods with those of our
cousins across the water? Do it.
Noa viii ind food for thought
Tor Instance, We are in the midst
2f q GREAT national election campaign.
Our presidents term is expiring and
wo arc choosing the man who will rule
more than q hundred million people
for the next four years. We will also
elect senators and many other lesser
li~hts.
1t is an event Of first Importance to
the future of the nation, yet the cas-
ual observer sees nothing out of the
ordinary. He could hardly detect that
we have a vital campaign in full swing.
We decline to become excited. We
are making no noise. We take things
as a matter of fact, or of course, know
ing that each man will vote his own
sentiments, and that no matter who
wins, the country will move along in
the future as it has in the past-al-
ways better and greater than it ever
has been before. That is America,
and our president has more autocratic
bower in. his fist than that possessed
by ali Of the crowned heads left in
Europe
But on the ether side of the water
it is different.
A change of rulers there usually
means violence, and bloodshed, and
revolution, if it is forcible change;
or unrest and suspicion if it is d sue
cession caused by death.
The country becomes stirred from
one end to the other. Business suffers
jealousies are rampant, and lifelong
enmities are created. That is Europe
Yes, the subject furnishes quite a
little food for thought-for one thot
in particular, that America is not such
a bad place after all.
