Importance in his own mind.

Wayside Wisdom
His Nose Out of Joint.
By S. E. Kiser

He was seated on a doorstep with
brown pup on his knees,
And he seemed to try to fathom one
of life's deep mysteries;
Looking up with wistful glanees
when l halted at his side,
And responding to my questions, he
reflectively replied:
II fave got little sister; she's been
here since yesterday,
And my daddy's upstairs with her,
and he can't be coaxed away;
All the time he sings or whistles,
and he seems to be 50 glad
That you'd think she was the only
lucky stroke We ever had.
HE has telepnoned the office so
they won't expect him there,
And he talks about the baby all the
time and everywhere;
Nearly every other minute, even
when she's gone to sleep,
He goes snehking where they keep
her for another little peep.
He won't mind the nurses
scolding when she tells him to
stay out,
And my little baby sisters an he
ever thinks about;
He keeps telling everybody what a
beauty she will be,
And 1 wish my daddy ever felt as
proud as that Of me-"

ONCE-OVERS
If You Can Make Profit On Borrowed Money, Don't
Hesitate to Go in Debt
By J. J. MUNDY

Perhaps you have been too strong
for the principle-of paying cash.
Your fear Of debt has kept you
from making money.
II you can borrow and invest in
something which you know TO be a
good business venture, why not do il:
If you can borrow at 6 per cent
and get 10 per cent, why allow
your scruDles against debt TO keep
you from a perfectly sensible and
legitimate form Of business.
Few business men would be in

till they had cash to pay for every
thing.
1t is no disgrace TO incur in
debtedness in the course Of bust
ness transactions. If your judg-
ment and experience tell you that
a profit may be made within a
reasonable period Of time, go 70 il.
The man who says he "ncver
owed a dollar" in his life is seldom
found with an accumulation of
money.

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon for gotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfil the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A me dicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, 10 those who are in need of 1t.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a preparation have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kid ney remedy has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of the thou sands who have used the prepara- tion, the success of Dr. Kilmer's swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfils al- most every wish in overcoming kid ney, liver and bladder ailments, cor rects urinary troubles and neutral izes the uric acid which causes rheu- matism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Ad- dress Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Bingham ton, N. Y.S and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.

 "The red army must realize its situation" General Frunze said. Ut should know that a big military clash with the enemies of soviet Rus sia is in front of it.
 "Our army is too small for this task in comparison with the strength of tho big armies in front of 1t. We must prepare the rear to be able to draw fresh supplies to much great CT extent than before. Greater at- tention should be paid to preparing the laboring masses for future war, especially with regard to avia- ton and chemistry
 General Frunze urged the forma- tion of red army clubs in every big center to serve as headquarters for spreading military knowledge among the population and preparing the people for national defense.
 While striving for the peaceful economic reestablishment of our country" he declared, i've must at
 
 tary aims in order that in case of necessity we can at the shortest pos sible notice pass from a peace foot ing to a military basis. It is neces- sary to create such a defense in or der that the united forces of world imperialism shall not be menace to soviet Russia"

He went over to the Socialdemokraten when it was founded in 1886 and a year later became editor. In that position he carried on his activities in behalf of the working classes and peace.

URGENT NEED FOR
 SPECIAL CLASSES
5O,OOO Children Are Suffering
 From Seriously Defective Sight
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Cincinnati. O., Feb. 24,-There is urgent need in our public schools for 25 times as many sight-saving classes-special classes for children with seriously defective vision-as now exist, declared Lewis II. Carris, managing director, national commit tee for the prevention of blindness, in an address before a conference of school superintendents from all sec tions of the United States held here today under the auspices of the na- tional education association. There are at present, Carris said, approxi- mately 200 sight-saving classes scattered about the country. where as approximately 5000 such classes are needed.
 "There are in the United States" Mir. Carris said lat least 50,000 chil- { dren with such seriously defective vision that they are unable to keep up with the work of normally sight ed childrei. There is need for one sight-saving class in every group of 5000 school children. New York state, Ohio, Minnesota and Massa- chusetts have been awakened to the seriousness of this situation and are now providing state funds for the esta ablishment of sight-saving classes in cooperation with the local com- munities requiring them. The re- maining states also should recognize not only the need for such classes but that their cost should not be borne entirely by the municipality"
 MT. Carris urged the superin- tendents to acquaint themselves with the splendid work being carried on in the sight-saving classes in Cin- cinati, which, he said. is one of the very few cities having enough ot | these classes to take care of all it's children with seriously defective vision.

Japan, plans to hop from Newfound- land to Cork, his representative, Patrick Murphy said on his arrival here today on the Japanese steam" ship Maru from Tokio.
 "A flight between Newfoundland and Cork has never been attempted since Captains Brown and Alcock made their daring flight between these two points in l6 hours and 23 minutes" Murphy asserted. Ma jor Zanni expects to make this jump in r hours probably less If the weather is good. It Is daring ven- ture but in keeping with other at tempts made by the major during the worst time of the year he could have ever selected to start globe flight.
 Major Zanni, his navigator, Lieut.. Velo and Mechanic Betrame are ahead of any of the long distance flyers, having already covered 12,- GOO miles in 145 hours during the worst part of the year. It was dur ing the rainy season at Hanci that their expedition came to grief tenn porarily. Major zanni was taking off from the airdrome field with his wheels up to the hubs in water. He was unable to rise and when he struck a paddy field, his machine was somersaulted and the men thrown out.
