Is There Danger OF A
New World Marl

New World Marl
Some of the nations across the Sc
are becoming very restless. Austri
at the present time Is torn by clyl
strife. The outcome. no one can pre-
dict.
Germany and Italy are watchinl
each other and are arming to tina
extent so as to be ready TO strik'
when the conflict begins.
Japan and Russia are adding dahl
to their armaments. both in trOOpi
and guns, and no none can say how
soon the conflict between them will
begin. France. with the best equip
ped army of any OF the European
nations, is watching Germany will
a jealous eye and will. if possible
keep the German people in a lOwl!
position, but whenever the German
people, who have no love for the
French, feel able Of winning in {
contest for supremacy, they will moi
be long in striking the first blow
Great Britain is watching but keep
, ing quiet.
While the countries ON the Other
side seem TO be bent on war, which
II II comes will change the whole
map of Europe as now constituted
not only this but terrible dcstruc-
tiOn will follow such war, greater
than ever seen before, both in lives
and property.
What will be the position of the
United States II such a war should
come? Would the American Govern
ment be able to keep out of the con-
hict? We are afraid not. Some tOUn-
try would do something to incense
the American people similar TO the
sinking of the Lusitania and other
vessels by German submarines dur
ing the late World War. thus de-
stroyinS hundreds of American lives.
which finally brought about the en-
try OF this country into that war We
have no doubt that Germany regret
ted doing those things which arOus-
cd the people of the United States;
not that she was sorry for the deeds
committed. but 1t brought about an
other force to contend with, which
ended i'm the destruction of the Ger
man Empire and the Punishment of
the Kaiser to Holland. where he now
resides.
If new World War does come.
and we believe it will; the destruc-
ton which will ensue. both in lives
and property will stagger the world
Let the people Of the United States
hope and pray that the terrible con-
sequences which follows war may
never be our lot again.
Is the United States prepared to
meet an enemy if one should invade
our shores?
Read, Before Signing Any Document
People are very careless in these
days, often putting their names on a
petition or note without even read
ing them.
Many farmers and others have lost
a great deal of money by not read
ing what they signed. Inscriptions
agents are always roaming the conn
try. with some wildcat scheme la
present TO those who will hear.
Their scheme is told in such plaus-
iblc language so as to deceive many
who without thought. sign their
names. which afterwards prove To
be a note which is collected by those
to whom il has been sold. At Il heavy
discount.
Il is well TO be very careful in
reading all papers which you are
asked to sign-if you fail to under
stand, have some one who is better
informed and in whom you have
confidence. to read it for you or per
llaps you will sign something that
will prove very annoying in the fu-
turC.
