emn referendum" as to where
these youngsters should live, as
a whole, we'll wager that the
public would be in favor of the
executive mansion. No on e
would howl if the youngsters
did muss up things bit about
the executive mansion-knock
off some varnish, slide down the
bannisters, have a dog fight in
the flower beds, or track mud
on the back porch, etc. Our ad-
vice is to keep 'em all in Colum-
bus, and when going out for a
drive, if one car won't hold them
all, hook on a trailer.

INTERNATIONAL SPIRIT

Our good friend Mr.. Dean
Dearth who is in Y. NJ. c. A
work at Honolulu, has favored
US from time to time with pa
pers, booklets, etc, from that in
teresting place, telling of var
ious activities, which have given
US an insight of that country's
affairs. One of the more re
cent publications we have re-
ceived is one issued by the
Young Korea Publishing Co..
called the Young Korea 1t
contains an editorial under the
caption of International Spirit .
and has the proper ring. Here
it is
"The earth rotates and so does
civilization. The d m i n ant
spirit and ideals of ancient time
is no longer the prevailing ten
dency of today. Once, as in the
days Of Greece and Rome, the
civilization contented itself with
in the narrow confines of city.
Hence Rome was, strictly speak
ing, a world by itself. Later on,
that idea has transformed itself
into world of States. Louis
XIV said, Il am the state" SO
was the civilization. Then, as
we come down to the modern
age, we find another division
still-that of nations. But are
we not at the dawn of another
more enlightened age where
civilization finds its true reflec-
tom The world is no longer a
city, a state, nation, but an in
ternation. Who dares gainsay
He IS a true patriot who works
for the international welfare.
Observe the work OF Missions,
y NJ. {. A., Salvation Army
and the Red Cross. They. at
least, observe no racial barriers.
Men have come to appreciate hui
manity in a true light. Inter
national spirit begins to rule the
universe, EX-President Wilson
sounded a pertinent note when
he said that the world must be
made safe for Democracy. Not
the United States alone, but the
whole world! To such a spirit
The Young Korea fain offers its
widows mite"

MAIL SERVICE

II we are any Judge, it strikes
US that the mail service between
this place and Sharpsburg is
about as poor as could be ar
ranged Out Of Sharpsburg
there are two routes, one into
Marion township, and patrons in
that part Of the county get their
mail on this route. Mail from
here to Sharpsburg goes by way
OF Athens. Any one familiar with
the trip, knows what long,
roundabout way it is. Then the
mail comes back in much the
same circuitous route to Sharps-
burg, and is delivered on route
from that place We are told
that papers from this office
which are mailed in time to
catch the noon train south
Thursday, do not reach some OF
our Sharpsburg patrons before
Monday, AS before stated a
number of these patrons are res
idents Of Morgan county. Mail
sent from here to Chesterhill,
reaches. that place within few
hours after it leaves here, and
when it is taken into considera-
tion that Chesterhill is but four
and a half miles away-almost
following distance from Sharps-
burg, it IS surprising the differ
ence of time it takes to reach
Sharpsburg. Mail reaches Bos-
ton, Mass, or St Louis, Mo,
and Is delivered sooner than it
reaches Sharpsburg from here.
Mail sent from the Chcsterhill
office must also go by way of
Athens to reach Sharpsburg,
and takes just as long to reach
Sharpsburg-less than five miles
distance, as it does if sent from
here.
There certainly should be
some relief from such service.
which is not so good now, per
haps, as it was almost a century
ago.

Smith of New York both had at
least six children to show at Al

ent. l have taken Lithiated Buchu
(Keller fornula) short time and
now l am normal. I had to get up

Lithiated Buchu (Keller formu-
la) acts on the kidneys and bladder
like Epson Salts on the bowels.
1t cleans them out, relieving the
bladder of many abnormal deposits.
These tablets cost &c apiece. This
price makes it possible to place in
the formula several drugs which are
useful for relief. The formula is
on the package. 1t is not likely you
have ever taken anything similar.
Try a few tablets for backache,
scalding, scanty or high-colored
urine, and frequent desire at night.
Be sure to get the Keller formula

WAGON COMPANY TAKES
ANOTHER GOOD q A Nj Il

Another game was chalked UP
for Wagon Company's credit wed
nesday night when the Roseville Phi
Delts went down to defeat by the
score of % to 81. After some of
our basket ball fans had scanned
the list of teams Roseville defeated
this season, they were more or less
in doubt as to whether Wagon Co.
would be able to knock them off,
and when the news came that Whit
ing would not be present, they were
gravely concerned However valu-
able as Whiting is, Wagon Company
is not a one mans team by any
means, and they went in and fought
all the harder without him to win.
While at one time Roseville broke
loose with a string of baskets, the
EWagoneers managed to check their
streak, and at no time would IT ap-
pear that our home dribblers were
in danger. During the first half both
teams played hard, but neither was
successful in trimming many fields.
Wagon Company only made ~
points to Roseville's 4.
In the second half the Wagoneers
soon got an almost two to one lead,
which they kept for a while, then
Roseville struck streak, cutting
down Wagon Company's lead at one
time eight points. The game was
clean throughout and very few per
sonal fouls were called. Lineup
