REFORM YoURsELF.

The chief concern Of too many peo-
pie is the reformation of somebody
else. With the exception Of certain
corporations, organized baseball and
a few other mercenary concerns, ev-
cry organization in America is devot-
ing most Of its time to the sins that
beset people in some, other level of
life. We have already reached that
semi-heaven where nobody has to
pay any attention to his own busi-
ness-least Of all to his own short
comings. Perhaps, after we have had
rich experience in being our broth
er's keeper, we may acquire sense
enough to take care Of ourselves.

BRIEF AND POINTED.

Tombstones always speak we'll Of
the deceased.
A mixture Of inspiration and per-
spiration is hard to beat.
When it's cold some say it is as
cold as hell.
Rolling stones gather no moss, but
who, wants moss?
De collette in naval talk means
upper deck cleared for action.
Money shines brighter in society
shan polish.
The FOOLS bridges should be burnt
before him.
A few Of us should wear masks
even when there is no flu.
Some ties are SO red they look like
The wearer had cut his throat.
Wearing the hat on one side is a
sign the brain is lopsided.
Most Of us want the cream without
doing any Of the milking.

RIGHT is RIGHT AND
WRONGS NO ONE"

WRONGS NO ONE"
We want to live to see a whole lot
of kid-gloved aristocracy and men
worth hundreds of millions, the major
part of which they never produced, or
even came honestly by, and with them
a lot of trust magnates, profiteering
pirates and others of their ilk, strip
ped Of much of their ill-gotten wealth
and be given hoes and made to get
back TO the soil from which their an
cestors sprang, and made to earn an
honest living according to the biblical
adage of earning bread by the sweat
of their face.
We parasites have to be fed, for, as
Senator johnson once remarked, "a
man must eat," but that is no reason
that the farmer and toiler should feed
US on petit fol gras, truffles, broiled
lobster, cafe noir and champagne,
while subsisting on corn bread and
sow-helly himself. Because in the
scheme of ethics, commerce and civ
ilization it is necessary to take away
from the producer part of what he
produces is not good reason for tax
ing all of it away, or even the lions
share. Because, in the interest of
science or anything else, it may be-
come necessary occasionally to break
a mans leg. does not seem to be sound
reasoning for also breaking his back
and his neck.
And another mighty good scheme,
also, would be for lot of us to be-
come at least partial producers, in
stead of wholly and totally consum-
ers.

Nr. B. G. Lahman,
Missouri Valley. Iowa.

Missouri Valley, Iowa.
Ny Dear Lahman:
have been working away on the
matter Of city delivery for Missouri
Valley, and am greatly pleased to re-
ceive . letter from the First Assist
ant Postmaster General advising me
that city delivery had been ordered
established, effective July 1st, pro-
viding certain conditions are complied
with, and Is these appear to be more
! or less minor in character, / assume
that there will be little If any further
difficulty. Needless to say am very
much pleased to be able to secure this
Tor Missouri Valley, and feel certain
that the increased convenience to the
citizens Of your city will repay me
many times over for my efforts in the
matter.
The establishment Of city delivery
on July LIST is contingent upon the fol-
lowing conditions:
The installation Of private mail re-
ceptacles, which is always one Of the
requirements for the establishment
Of city delivery; and the installation
Of cross-walks at the following points:
Corner Harrison and Huron streets.
Corner st. Clair and West streets.
Corner South First and Canal SITS.
Corner Ninth and Pearl streets.
Corner First and George streets.
Corner Sunnyside Ave-, and Ninth
street.
No>doubt specific instructions have
been forwarded the postmaster by the
Department covering these points.
Yours very truly,
w. r. GREEN.

Dempsey, worlds heavyweight boxing
champion, and his manager, Jack kearus,
win be indicted by the federal grand
Jury which win file its report Friday. The
grand jury voted true bills, 1t was said
in the Federal building. after adjourn
ment Whether there will be other in
dicfments in the case was not stated.
Dempsey and kearns are to be charged
with having made false statements and
otherwise periuring themselves In giving
Information to the draft board in San
Francisco that placed Dempsey in the
deferred class when he was called as a
prospective soldier. The true bills
against Dempsey and Kearns were the
more surprising as they were based on
the testimony OF Mrs Maxine Dempsey,
divorced wife of the champion, upon
whose original charges proceedings were
Instituted.
Later Mrs Dempsey retracted her
charges and in a signed affidavit stated
she had been aetUated by jealousy. Be
fore the grand jury, it is said. Mrs.
Dempsey admitted her "retraction" had
been induced by a payment of Sl.500.
Sensational charges against Dempsey
We're intimated by Z. f. Orr, agent of the
department of Justice, in connection with
alleged letters of Dempsey to Mrs. Demp-
sey and to other friends in Wells New
where Orr went few weeks ago to IN
cover information on the status of Demp-
sey during the war period.
