WAR PROPAGANDA.

Sherwood Eddy, leading Y. M. c.
A. worker, who has recently return
ed from a lengthy trip through DIFF
ferent countries in Asia and Europe,
says the world is still suffering from
the effects of war propaganda.
During the world war every nation
in the war fed it's people on propa-
ganda. The people were taught that
their cause was just, that the cause
of the enemy was unjust. They were
taught to hate their enemies, and in
order to do this they were told many
false things about their enemies.
In other words, the people were
deceived. They were given much in
formation that was false, and they
still believe it. And it is this state
of mind, more than anything else,
that is delaying a return to normal
conditions in our international rela-
tions.
Before the world can begin to go
forward again in the right way, the
people Of every country will have to
forget much that they were told dur
ing the world war, or at least real
ize that much of what they were
told was not true. The trouble with
the world now is more psychological
than economic. We could begin doing
business again with our late enemies
if we would trust them, and when
world trade between the various
countries is resumed prosperity and
sense of security will return.

good health means good nature.

All of these sentiments have a
quaint charm, of course, but many
intelligent modern men and women
married or single will laugh at most
of them. They know that successful
marriage is not a matter of self
ishness on one side and sacrifice on
the other, but of mutual loyalty,
consideration and assumption of res
possibility.
Any wife or husband who has to
be "held" by any device incompati-
BILE with the dignity of both parties
is hardly worth holding.

SPRING 1T.

If you have a new idea, spring it.
This country has become great be.
cause its citizens have had the brains
to produce. ideas. and the courage to
work them out to fruition.
But don't expect to revolutionize
the world with one blast. The world
is older than we are. It will be here
after we are gone, and other brains
will be producing ideas that are a
hundred times better than ours.
Every big thing has little be-
ginning. Because the idea is good it
grows and thrives and expands until
it becomes great and of lasting bene-
fit to many people.
It may be so with your idea, but
It will not be 50 as long as you keep
it bottled up.
Spring it.

LIVESTOCK SANITATION.

Occasionally one hears of out
breaks Of rabies or hydrophobia
among dogs in a community, and
other dogs as well as other varities
of animals, and people, get bitten,
and CONSERVATION naturally prevails
in the neighborhood. Fortunately all
dogs said or thought to be mad, are
really not affected with rabies, but
many of them show suspicious symp-
toms, such as foaming at the mouth
and fits, from internal causes, such
as worms, etc., but are destroyed
without the fact being absolutely
known that the animal suffered from
rabies. This is unfortunate, because
a person who may have been bitten
is kept in suspense and dread and
does not know whether or not the
dog that had caused the trouble was
really suffering from the disease. If
a dog shows suspicious symptoms
and is destroyed, its brains should be
packed in ice and at once sent to
some laboratory to be examined for
rabies.% If the examination should
prove to be negative, then the bite
from that animal is harmless; if, on
the other hand, the examination
should prove positive, that is, shows
that the dog had the disease, the
person should at once be given the
Pasteur treatment for hydrophobia,
and the sooner the treatment is given
the better.
Hydrophobia is communicable
disease through the saliva of the
rabid animal, the saliva being the
infective agent, and no animal or
person edn be infected with hydro
phobia unless it has been bitten by
one suffering from the disease, and
the saliva infects the wound at the
time Of the bite.
Rabies is progressive disease,
and an animal once attacked, does
not recover; while a dog suffering
from fits, with the ACCOMPANYING
symptoms, very frequently recovers
after little judicious treatment.
Quarantining suspicious animal for
time will generally clear up any
doubt about the case.-Dr. w. II.
Dalrymple.

James Hamilton Lewis, former
United States senator from Illinois,
says we are drifting into another
war. He predicts that other nations
must resort to. arms again before a
tinal adjustment can be made in
world affairs, and that we will be
drawn into it, just as we were be-
/ fore.
We hope Mr.. Lewis proves false
Iprophet But we call to mind that in
1914 certain writer's and public men
earnestly warned the government
and people to prepare for war. These
3oFesighted men were hooted and
jeered and Yidiculed. They were con-
sidered visionary aiarmists or jing-
ses. They were not even accorded
. respectful hearing.
History records the part we took
IN the late war, and our own ex-
periences today are eloquent remind
ers OF the burdens that will remain
with us for many years to come

CHANGES MADE IN
PAPAL CEREMONY
Cold Wave Necessitate Alteration of
Services in POpe's Coronation.

Rome, Feb. 8-The cold wave, the
severest in years, accompanied by
snow, has forced a modification of the
coronation ceremonies Sunday, when
Pope Plus XI will receive the triple
crown.
1t will necessitate the passing of the
pontiff into the bascilica without the
customary ceremonial Of the facade
before the huge bronze door, when
Cardinal Merry De Val, as arch priest
of st. Peters, makes former obusance
to the pope. Thousands will thus be
prevented from seeing the pope pass
ing in procession. Instead his holiness
will enter Immediately into the chapel
of the holy sacrament, where the late
pope lay in state. There Cardinal Mer-
ry Del Val will render homage to the
pontiff, who descends from the papal
chair, borne on the shoulders of the
red-cloaked ushers. The pope person
ally ordered this modification because
of the serious consequences of cold
which might follow if the pontitical
procession were held in the open fa.-
cade.

BACON THIEF DESERTS
WAGON AND TEAM

Charles Russell, who lives south
west of Monet, had side Of bacon
stolen from him last Sunday morning
and as a result is now the owner OF
worn out wagon, team and dog which
he does not want.
On Sunday morning when Mr.. Rus
sell started to take his children to
| Sunday school he noticed trail OF
salt along the road which aroused his
curiosity and decided to investigate.
Returning along the road he found
that the trail led to his smoke house
and that he had been robbed of side
of meat.
| Being member of the A. H. T. A.
he informed Marshal Hickey, OF
Peirce City, Faline Exposito, w. f..
Meador, and A. E. Banks and they
started on trail of the thief. The
wagon tracks were easily followed
and led toward Capps creek. At noon
they found the culprit near the bridge
over Capps Creek and he had made
fire and was frying some of the
bacon for his dinner.
The man denied the theft, but the
men forced him to drive pack to Mr..
Russells place where footprints were
found to correspond that that Of the
man apprehended. They told the fell
low that if he would confess to the
theft of the bacon and also Of some
hay, which Mr.. Russell also identified
as some he had raised, that they
would release him. He refused and
they brought him to Monett and took
him before E. A. O'Dwyer.
The fellow appeared to be badly
frightened and finally admitted TAX
ing the bacon. Mr.. Russell did not
want to prosecute and took the man
back to his place, where he had left
his wagon, team and dog. Mr.. Rus
sell told him he could sleep in his
wagon at his place, but wanted him to
move on early in the morning.
|, When morning came the fellow had
disappeared leaving his rig behind.
His faithful dog refused to allow any
one to get into the wagon, which was
covered with wagon sheet, until
afternoon, Monday, when Mr.. Russell
finally made friends with him.
They found that the wagon con-.
tanned coop containing five chickens
cleverly hidden under a bed in the
wagon. There were dozens of sacks,
some groceries, small stove, ETC., look
ing as though the outfit had been in
use for some time. Nothing of value
was in the wagon.
Mr.. Russell came to town to see the
officers in regard to the outfit, but
was informed that it was his and he
could dispose of it. The team is old
and one horse is blind, and the wagon
is worn out.
Mr.. Russell would like to give the
team to Mr.. Banks in return for his
assistance rendered, but so far has
been unable to prevail upon him to
accept them. In the meantime Mr..
Russell is obliged to feed them until
some disposition can be made of them.
The man said his name was Daniel
Smith and that he lived in Poplar
Bluff, Ark. 1t is the opinion of the
farmers that he is a professional
thief
