Really Aimed
The Shot At An
Elusive Sparrow

When Harold Rixey went to the
back yard of his home on North JEFF
ferson street Wednesday afternoon to
shoot at a sparrow, he did not notice
that Bob Huddleson, a painter, was
painting a house directly west Of the
Rixey home. Huddleson was on a lad
Ter, giving a fresh coat of paint to
the Williams home on North Wash
ington street. The elusive sparrow in
question suddenly darted from a tree.
Mr.. Rixey fired!
"Ow-w-w! !"
Huddleson made a hasty descent
from the ladder and explained in
expressive diction that the bullet
had pierced his leg above the knee.
Sheriff j. G. Ford was in the neigh
borhood, and volunteered to take
Huddleson to his home, where he was
given medical treatment. DR.. R. T.
Gibbs, his physician, said that the
bullet was lodged in the flesh of Hud-
dleson's leg.
1t is not known whether Or not the
sparrow was killed.

PRISONER

Officer Of Inflated U. s. s. Neptune
Gives Story of Remarkable Ad-
venture and Recovery.

Richard Cannon, Chief Petty Off
Ger Of the U. S. S. Neptune, whose
dramatic capture at sea by a German
U-Boat and subsequent experiences
aboard the submarine and in a Ger
man prison hospital, thrilled the en-
tire country, is still another world
war hero to test the remarkable re-
constructive powers Of Tanlac and
give it his strong endorsement. Mr..
Cannon's adventures were so harrow
ing that his constitution was COM
pletely shattered but after months of
suffering he has now regained the
wonderful health that enabled him to
pull through his adventures alive and
is today the same strapping two hun
dred pound fighter that embarked on
the Inflated collier. But let him tell
his own story:
when the Neptune was torpedoed
off the Irish coast" said Mr.. Cannon,
who now lives at TOT E. Lafayette,
Tampa, Fla, Il had my right leg
and five ribs broken by the explosion,
and when came to my senses I found
myself on board a submarine bound
for Germany. l was kept in a Ger
man prison hospital for five months.
and you can imagine what I must
have suffered when l tell you that
fell off in weight from two hundred

thirty-one pounds. When I was re-
patriated and finally got my dis
charge in February, 1919, l was littl'

He started using it after writing the

of tar in the bottom and as yet the

at the edge and going no farther.
However, he has to renew the tar
every little while, as it dries up. Mr..
Howell also had success with carbolic
acid by soaking a string in it and lay

the acid had to be renewed oftener
eaan the tar so that he is only using
the latter now. Roy Carr tried put

it did not stop the bugs which went

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Could any better definition Of Democ-
racy be given than this: A Nation Of
Friends?
There you have the gist of the whole
matter
The growth of Democracy is a struggle
toward Friendship.
II works naturally toward making States
friendly instead of hostile. Democracies do
not enter upon wars Of aggression.
II functions in Neighbors. not Dynasties.
II Is utterly opposed to all Class.
The Labor Problem will never be solved
by the rise and power Of the Laboring
Class, which would be quite as intolerabe
as the tyranny OF the Capitalistic Class.
IL will never be settled right until it is
settled by Employer and Employed CO.
operating, realizing that their common in
terest Is more profitable than their antag-
onisms--in fine, becoming Friends and ceas-
ing to be Enemies.
Friendship is the only hypostatic paradox
Of Capital and Labor, of Rich and Poor. Of
Learned and Ignorant BY means of it they
find common level.
The only true Religion is one which real
ICES the Friendship Of God. And the only
abiding State will be one which is built
upon the Friendship of all people.
Friendship is not impractical an impos-
sible ideal, IAN iridescent dream" On the
contrary. it is hate, suspicion, fear, and
force that are fakes. They never did work
very long and they invariably end in de-
itruction. Friendship alone is constructive.
Business is based on Friendship. The
success of Department Store. n Factory,
n Newspaper, or any other commercial en-
terprise is matter of making and keep
ing Friends.

BE No Compromise
A Nation of Friends
BY Dir. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1918. b. Frank Crans)

All Advertising is a bid for Friendships.
Tho the Trust and the Labor Union have
both been abused by sefishness, and per-
verted by shortsightedness and lust for
power yet the original idea Of both is
Friendship.
The Trust thrives because it realizes the
power Of Friendly Capital; the Labor Union
because il realizes the power Of Friendliness
among Workers.
They both halt and become septic because
they cannot take the next step in Friend
illness and become Friendly toward each
other
There is no reason why this step should
not be taken, except the innate cussedness
of man, the inertia Of tradition, and the
lack Of vision
There is but one way to solve the Negro
question; il is for the two races TO cease
enmity and cultivate Friendship.
There is but one way TO end War; 1t Is
for the nations to be Friends.
We are fond Of calling quarrelsomeness
Human Nature. II is not. II is the slump
and bankruptcy Of Human Nature. For it
is most Human to be Friendly.
Underneath all our surface Hates and
Chickering's there is growing the strong and
rising power of Friendliness.
Left alone, unstirred and undecided by
militarism and monarchy, the French and
Germans would never have fought. 1t was
not Human Nature, it was the evil system,
the Old Order, that caused the War.
All nations are founded on fear and main
tanned by force. But it is our task to
change this, and by science commerce, art,
education, and religion build up
A Nation of Friends
And why not World of Friends?
