THE GREAT MYSTERY

"Who's getting the stuff"
"'Tain't me-" says the packer,

To pay a small profit,

And all of them chorus
Together: "'Tain't me-"
"'Tain't me-" says the tanner,
"Who gets the high price
For high shoes and low ones,
For footwear that's nice"
"'Tain't me-" says the rancher !;
Il live and that's ALL"
"Tain't me-" saws the dealer;
MY profits are small"
"Tain't me-" says the Gamer;
"My margins the same;"
"'Tain't me- says the huckster,
who's spelling the game"
"'Tain't me-" SAYS the gardener
"I'm poor all the time"
"'Tain't me-" says the grocer;
Il amt made a dime"
It's surely a puzzle
To know where It goes.

Or any Of those

So they all agree.

CLEANING UP THE HOME PLACE

CLEANING UP THE HOME PLACE
The spring is called the time for
a grand cleanup of the home place
There should be no necessity of any
special cleanup at this time. If a
home is cared for as it should be,
no refuse whatever should be al
lowed to collect around it. Every
week should be cleanup week.
In the average home, a good deal
of litter and refuse does accumulate
through the winter. 1t should not
be tolerated a day longer. The old
ash-pile, the heap Of flower and weed
and vegetable stalks. the remnants of
last seasons activities, make many
back yards unpleasant. They de-
tract from the appearance of any

THE TERRIBLE FLOOD that has
created the most incredible havoc in
IL Eastern States is again illustrat-
ing some fine traits in American
character, particularly the energy
with which our people set to work
to recover from a disaster.
There are some countries where
such a flood would see people lying
down discouraged. and disposed to
accept their hard fate. If their
homes are destroyed. they would not
attempt to replace them in their for
mer condition, but would just accept
permanently whatever makeshift
was in sight. They would say it was
no use to struggle against fate.
There is a spark of hope in the
American temperament that rises
high after every defeat. 1t says that
the things it accomplished before,
can be accomplished again. 1t sets
out with redoubled determination to
accomplish them. And this second
effort has the advantage that it cor
reefs some of the defects that Gre
ated trouble before. The man whose
house was swept away because it
did not have a strong enough foun-
dalton, will build more securely the
next time.
Another typical American charac-
teristic now being observed is the
generosity with which misfortune is
relieved. Our people may be too
much disposed to chase the almighty |
dollar. and grasp for money during
prosperous times. But when the |
floods rise, and the storms lay low
the dwellings of man, when fire |
turns homes to ashes, our people |
fling these considerations of pru-
deuce away, and they give and give
They are determined that there shall
be no suffering if it can be helped.
They are showing that spirit now.
It. should continue until every pos
sible thing has been done to bring
relief to these sorrowful and afflict-
ed people.

Milford, Friday, April 8, 1885

THE SIXTH OF APRIL is one OF
the historic dates of our national
life. On that day in 1917, the United
States took the fateful choice of de-
claring war against Germany. There
upon we plunged into a terrible
whirlpool, with little idea what we
were getting into.
The general idea at the time was
that our American travellers and
ships had been attacked while on the
sea, and that the main thing was to
resent such action, and see that our
commerce and travel were protected.
Most people thought that by send
ing a strong naval force across the
ocean, that aim would be accom-
plished. Not many imagined that
it. would become necessary to send
an enormous army to Europe.
The situation changed rapidly
within a few weeks after our coun-
try entered the war. In April of
that year, the position of the French
was good, and they seemed likely to
be able to hold their lines indefi-
nitely. But heavy losses in that
army, and their inability to make
substantial gains. produced a mu-
tinous spirit.
1t became evident that if the Ger
mans were to be driven out of
France, the Americans must take a
big hand in the fighting. While our
army covered itself with glory, the
results on our country were ex-
tremely serious, and we have only
begun to recover from them.
Probably the majority opinion
would say today that it was a mis-
take to enter that war. And yet if
we had not done so, Germany would !
have won the war. 1t would have
annexed a good part of France and
Belgium, and would have taken a
threatening attitude toward the rest |
of the world. Anyway, our country |
did what at the time seemed its
duty. People who do that do not in
the long run suffer from their act.
