Paul Brady is spending some time

Paul Berkey is once more a lieuten-
ant in the United States army. He
was on the village streets last Sunday

Women Talk Politics
From accounts there is considerable
talking of politics going on in femi-
nine circles these days. Quite natu-
raj that there should be too. Politics
Is new sphere for women, and they
are just naturally about twenty times
more interested than men. That was
one of the troubles with men. They
have all too little care for politics and
had no proper appreciation of civic
duties except in general way. If
the women can show men the way by
judging of character values on the ba-
sis of what they really are rather
than what people say of others they
will have done at least one good thing.
There is no sense in making man
out something merely because some
foolish person has asserted something
that may not have the slightest sug-
gestion of truth behind it. Nine times
out of ten the basis of all gossip is un-
truth. People get prejudices started
and often ruin the reputation of good
men or women. A man may be called
a Jailbird who never saw inside of a
prison, let alone occupy one. And Of
tentimes a woman may be slandered
and be as innocent as the angels.
Frequently this is true. So let all be
guarded in what they say of what
they have heard. 1t pays NEVER TO
KNOW
If you want to hear the raciest,
funniest, best story that ever came
down the pike have Judge James D.
Moore tell you of his last voyage to
Bermuda and back. 1t will make you
laugh a month.
Ernest Sibley, Jr., was down from
his military school last Saturday and
Sunday. He visited his mother in st.
Elizabeth's Hospital Sunday after

ming late. He is looking fine and is
hopeful of becoming an officer before

Village Gossip

There is one officer to every seven
men in the United States army, ac-
cording to information received by
the American Legion. 1t was ex-
planned by the War Department that
the high proportion of officers was
due to the present army policy of
maintaining an army capable of quick
expansion in time of war. The army
today numbers 13S,000, of which mum.
Der $4,000 are officers.
George e. Johnson of Bombay, In

Der. Young Johnson has been made
manager of the Standard Oil interests
at Bombay, great compliment, con-
sidering the fact that there are some
400 other employees there at work.
He was greatly improved by his visit
to America and gained about twelve
pounds. He says the climate Of India,
particularly Bombay, is very trying.
"A touching incident took place last
