"Ths Italian King sends for
Mussolini."
He is the leader of the "Fas-
cisti," that are now making
bonfires of Socialist newspapers,
threatening everybody that calls
himself Socialist or Communist.
A while ago Mussolini led the
Socialists. Now he is leading
q movement that really succeeds
for the present.
King Victor sends for Mus
solini, practical dictator OF
Italy, and real head of the
Italian government.
It carries you back to days
when the Roman Emperor sud
denly learned that by decision
of the army he was no longer
emperor. This time it Is q
self-established army, represent
ing conservatism, determined to
stamp out radicalism. 1t con-
siders King Victor Emmanuel a
pretty good king and will prob
ably keep him on.
For the first time in all his
tory, behold a successful revolu-
ton, not from the top or bottom,
but in among the little people
Of the middle class that have
something and don't mean to
lose it.
A lady writes from Mattawan,
N. j.; "Please write what you
think of the assertion by the
Rev. DR.. Mcconnell that Christ
was a myth" Answer: The
reverend gentleman in backing
mp backs up TOO FAR. He
might as we'll call Lincoln or
Washington a myth. Christ's
existence is sufficiently proved
, historically, apart from faith.
But Christians require no proof.
They see the work done and
KIN, W that no myth" could work
thus through nineteen hundred
years. There is reality back of
everything real.
Monsieur Gsadaes, of the
French chsmbers prot @sts against
the sale Of United Ststes bonds
in France. Each one to his
TASTE" the French say. You
would think, after buying bill
ions of Russian bonds, worth
now about as much as our Con-
federate money, that the French
would be glad of an opportunity
to buy a bond that can be eX-
changed for real francs.
Stores complain that mothers
use children to help the mothers
in stealing. A little child does
something to attract attention
while the article is Gifted"
Among birds the mother pro-
tects her children by pretending
that she has a broken leg or
wing, running, screaming and
apparently helpless, along the
ground to attract the fox or
coyote, while the young birds
seek shelter. Human mothers
seem to have improved on that.
In one case the child in a store
did an impromptu Highland
Fling" while the mother stole
some hats. Making a living in
civilization has become compli-
Gated.
Exports of American corn
have increased greatly; a good
thing for Europe, learning to
eat corn meal, also to use
"maize" in fattening cattle.
The increased demand for corn
Is good also for our children
threatened with a milk short
age. Profitable dairy farming
depends on ensilage, and ensil-
age depends on the corn crop.
Somebody should make better,
cheaper silos that the farmer
could use it. Knockdown house
builders please notice.
Professor Gibbons teaches his
tory at Princeton and says
human nature caused the war.
"If it had not been Germany,
It would have been some other
country. Not German nature,
but human nature precipitated
the war"
Not long ago such a state
ment might have put the pro-
fessor in Jail. Nobody knows
