In passing about one continually
hears the statement that the United
States and England are the two ma
tions in the world alike in their char
acteristics and having the same ideals.
Yet it is a fact that during the World
War our soldiers had more respect
and admiration for the people of any
country in which they were located
than they had for the English. They
liked the irish, the French not so well
as they thought they wouldn't the
cold-blooded English made them sick.
Some American soldiers who were
sent to Germany, went so far as to
say that they preferred ~ Germans
to the English.

The Nashville Tennesseean of re-
cent date carried an interesting edi-
torial on advertising Cost" from
the Louisville Courier-Journal. To be-
gin with certain professor has in
vestigated and found that $40 Of ev-
cry 500 spent by clothing customers
-wearers-goes to pay the advertis-
ing bill, and it may be so, but the
pity of it is that one per cent. of that
$2.10 does not go for truthful adver-
Using, so far as city stores are con-
cerned, for we verify believe more ly-
ing advertising is done about cloth
ing than anything else in the world.
The public seems to never tire Of the
stale old lies such as $4,000 VAL
UE SUIT offered for $685." This
often appears early in the season and
later that same suit can perhaps be
bought at S39,9S-and even at that
figure bring a profit. We people out
in the country, who go to the cities to
buy our clothes, which we ought to buy
from or have q home man order, note
the lies in advertisements when we go
into the city houses-yea we can see
that the bargains in those houses are
confined to the show windows and the
daily paper advertisements. We heard
of one city case. where a woman who
had been saleslady, saw a suit in a
window and noted the offered price.
She asked for the suit in the window
and was suavely told to walk back"
but she said mo, want the suit in
the window and the house was nail
cd. II is said that God hates a liar
and everybody ought to hate. shun
and boycott a lying advertiser.

We heard man say recently that
a general mixture of chickens was
best. We say we would rather have
a general mixture if the pure breds
were of poor quality but we believe
we have seen here in Henderson coun-
ty that the farmers that make the
most profit have pure breds. II you
want to improve your flock, buy a
good young cockerel which viii cost
you from $3.50 to $500. In the
Spring buy few settings of eggs of
the breed you wish to keep. In this
way farmer can get a good start at
a small cost.

2.85 inches of water fell here, and
81 inches of snow. The precipita-

than Off any entire month of April
since Bishop John Adams began

the precipitation for the two weeks
was greater than that of any one
month, but we did not have the
Bishop to verify this.
The snowfall this week was 9 in
