Us kids, we’re kinda use- less, 'nd we’re allus gittin sick, 'nd father sez that nun of us are wurth a singel lick. Las yere I had the meezels, 'nd this yere I had the hives, 'nd I'm spectin’ tonseletus when the freezin’ cold arives; but father, he ketched nuthin, 'nd he never had a cold; he wurkt twict as hard as I do when he wuzn'’t haf as old! Pa didn’t have no kandy, no fruit, nor Sunday cloze—he jest had shurt ’nd ovurhalls, 'nd boots with kopper toes! He jumpt up in the mornin’, had no time to stop for prares, 'nd he buttoned up his ’spenders as he skrambled down the stares; he had the horses watered, 'nd he had the pigs all fed, when kids like them he’s raisin are still snoozin’ in the bed! ’'Nd pa could harnes horses, wy, two of them to wonce, 'nd then at breakin’ horses he wuzn'’t eny dunce! At bindin’ on the stashun, or at shokin’ hevy wheet, his father never hired a man pa couldn’t eazy beet! Now, thats the way pa tels it, ’nd he tels it evry day, so I spose its true as gospil, as our preecher likes to say—yet whut kinda makes me wunder, 'nd whut kinda puzzels me, is why FATHER HAINT THE HUSLER THAT HE SEZ HE USED TO BE! Now, at snoozn’ in the mornin’ wy, he’s jest as bad as us, 'nd when mother kalls him erly, he makes jest as bad a fuss; 'nd when it comes to enything like shokin’ hevy wheat, then father he has bizness at the plegged kounty seet ! ’Nd yet, it tels us in the Bibel, how the old Apossel Paul, says things HE did when but a kid he now don’t do atall, SO, maybe pa JEST THINKS ITS 'LIGIOUS, WHEN A BOY BECOMES A MAN, TO PUT AWAY THE KIDDIS-TRICKS AS FASTER AS HE CAN!

There were several answers but Willie seemed hopelessly at sea. “Why, there are three,” said the teacher, “the Nonpartisan league, the Democratic party and ‘the Republican. Willie, if you can't remember it any other way, think it over when you go after the cows every evening. Let the white cow be the Nonpartisan league, the spotted one be the Democratic party, and the black one the Republi- can party.” Willie looked satisfied, and when the inspector dropped in a few days later, and asked how many political parties there were, Willie was frantic to tell The teacher had hopes, but trembled. “How many, Willie?” asked the in- spector. “One!” he announced in a loud voice and with evident pride. Then, noticing the teacher’s consternation, he added: “The spotted one and the black one died last night.” AUGUST LUTTEKEN. * * * MOST OF THE SWEETNESS IN- STILLED INTO LIFE BY THE SUGAR BEET IS NEUTRALIZED BY THE SUGAR BEAT! X * * With sugar at its present price, a fellow feels like going back to the old stunt of courting three girls all at once. * * * In the township where Farmer Jones is allowed to live, practically every . farmer belongs to the Nonpartisan league; practically every farmer raised little or nothing in 1917; practically every farmer, however, bought Liberty bonds, and practically every farmer subscribed money and acreage for Red Cross work. Yet, we are told that the the League fosters disloyalty the lead- ers are traitors, and the whole move- ment, in order to be allowed at all, must be kept under the closest surveill- ance. Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. Bring in the candles. * * THE MOST UNPATRIOTIC PER- SON (OR NEWSPAPER) LIVING IS THE ONE WHO CHALLENGES THE PATRIOTISM OF ANOTHER WITH- OUT JUST CAUSE. » * » IS IT? It isn't well to be very wise, Nor indeed to be very rich; And it's never best to observe too much, Nor to sing at the highest pitch; It isn’t well to be too alert, Nor to work too hard at your job, - Any more than it'’s well to eat too much, Or to dress too much—like a snob. The easiest way in this Vale of Tears, If you wish to slide through sleek, Is to stay with the man at the half- way house— Be a sort of a half-way geke! Farmer Jones felt a trifle blue; He wrote his stuff, as he’s won’t to do. Then rubbed his hand for the writer's cramp, And cracked on the wrapper a two- cent stamp! He mailed his gush, as proud as could be, In the mail box nailed to the cotton- wood tree! Some say he smiled; some say he swore, For he plumb forgot that a penny more Was now required to take it through, And his stuff came back marked, “ONE CENT DUE!” * * * Vote ’er straight—sure. Don't misunderstand, me, however; | do not mean by that to vote a straight party ticket. In the latter case, oftentimes, voting ’'er straight means voting ’er crooked. * * * : : You know what Sherman said about war in the old times! How could the old fellow ever express his feeling in English were he alive today? * * = PROVERBS A good patriot buyeth his bond, sub- scribeth to the Red Cross, vaunteth not himself, and speaketh well of his neighbors; but a poor patriot waveth a flag in public places, giveth but little to his country, and accuseth his neigh- bor of disloyal intentions. A man who seeketh to warm his house with lignite coal which hath not been properly dried, is indeed unhappy in heart, and discomfitted in his mind. ‘Whoso findeth a wife who riseth in the mornings while he yet sleepeth hath found a treasure incomparable, but such a one showeth but small capacity for appreciation. The beginning of strife is when one letteth out new ideas in a state ruled by pampered politicians; the same shall find himself in the midst of much misrepresentation, and strong is he if he wavereth not, but continueth to brave the dangers of his unpopular audacity. He that answereth a matter before he fully understandeth the import thereof giveth great evidence of a private understanding with individuals financially concerned. A good paper‘is rather to be taken than great dailies, if the latter cleave not to the truth and are prejudiced in all their utterances, A firm chin is rather to be chosen than big teeth, and a school-teacher rather than a ruthless slayer of wild animals. A man who hath friends must be friendly, but he who seeketh office through the influence of friends is in danger of an awful bat in the face. Better is a farmer governor without experience in politics but with capacity to learn than a governor who hath tasted of all the fruits of political ex- perience and hath already learned more than is good for the public. * PAGE THIRTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS gUXATED IRO You Can Tell the ; Women with Plenty of Iron in their Blocd — Beauti- ful Heal- thy Rosy Cheeked Womes Full of LifeVim and Vi- Dr. Ferdinand King, New York Fhysician and Medical Author, tells physicians that they should prescribe more organk: iron—Nuxated iron—for thelr patients—Says anaemia—iron deficiency—is the greatestcurse tothe health strength vitalityand beauty of the modern American Woman.—Sounds waming against use of metallic iron which may Injure the teeth, corrode the stomach and do far more barm than good; advises use of only nuxated iron, taken three times per day after meals, It will increase the strength and endurance of weak, nervous, run-down folks 1tM% in two weeks time in many instances, Dispensed by all god druggisis, Rheumatic Aches Drive them out with Sloan’s Liniment, the quick-acting, soothing liniment that penetrates without rubbing and relieves the pain.
