This Dog Liked Milk.

Maquoketa, lathe police dog has
something of reputation for intel
ligence and sagacity, and Clarence
Russell, barber of Preston, has one
that proves the claim TO he we'll
founded.
1t has been Russell's custom to
pour Blucher's daily allowance of
milk from a bottle into a pan kept
for feeding the dog. The dog al
ways watched the proceeding with
natural interest. Recently Russell
returned home from his tonsorial
parlors and was surprised to find
Butcher lying in the front yard
with a half dozen milk bottles and
his feeding pan before him.
Upon inquiry and investigation,
it developed that the dog had taken
the bottles from the porches Of near
by residences, had brought his pan
from the rear of the house and had
calmly laid down in the front yard
to wait for his master to come and
feed him.
Russell was at a loss for a means
of dicipline, but he finally solved the
matter by buying a bunch Of bottle
holders which he distributed among
the neighbors, fixing them too high
for the dog to reach.

Mrs. Harding's Skirts.

Are short skirts doomed ?" asked
a writer and goes on to assert that
Mrs. Harding when she becomes
mistress tof the White House will
wear long ones.
However, Mrs. Harding is not like
ly to be the arbieter elegantarium Of
feminine dress. The presidents wife
does not lead the style in America.
Over where kings and courts and
queens run things to suit themselves
the fashionable world follows their
lead. But who ever heard of an Am
erican presidents wife leading the
fashions in dress? We get those from
gay Paree. Comprenez vous?
Now a queen with small feet and
trim ankles might favor short skirts
and SO set d fashion. Another might
be unfortunately situated as to the
size Of shoes and thickness or
.scrawaino,> OF underpinning and let
out the tuck, to the shoe tops. But
Mrs. Ha.d'.g may wear EN- low or

After one gets used 10 it the short
skirt has its appeal It is to the fe-
male Of the species what GOLF or
baseball krickerbockers are to the

with the business woman and the
worker. There's common sense and
freedom in it. However, it doesn't

ment December 4. 1916: Whenever
have spell OF kidney trouble or rheu-
matte complaint, get a box OF Doan's
Kidney Pills at the Louisa Drug Store
Co. and just a few fix me up In fine
shape, My back gets lame when
overiift and am subject to this rheu-
matte trouble after taking cold This
generally strikes me in the limbs from
my hips down, acting like sciatica, The
kidney secretions are then too free in
passage. bothering me at night. This
breaks my rest, All OF the symptoms
disappear. however, after use Doan's
Kidney Pills and j feel like different

A POWER FOR GOOD

The expression that the press is a
power for good is often heard. and
all is true. But it must not be for
gotten that power can be used for
evil, and it is true that among certain
papers this is done. The "yellow
journals" do not exert an influence
for good, but are positive detri-
ment to the morals Of the community
where they circulate.
One great example Of the powers
of the press has been in the forcing
of the disarmament conference or
council. Several great metropolitan
dailies have been industriously en-
gagged in patting themselves on the
back and taking credit, yet the fact
remains that not one word appeared
in any big daily until the country pa
pcrs had advocated the idea of dis
armament for months. The metropol-
