Seriously, though, have you

The automobile gets in its dead

In the matter of education,
civic pride, and patriotic interest,
Montgomery county is making

Late dispatches from Petro

man has been wounded at the
front. Must not have been many

poor fellow to get behind.
Henry Ford’s scheme to take a
hundred prominent Americans to
Hurope to settle the little scrap
over there will likely prove a
good ad. for t in* sale of John

much in the matter of making
peace.

News item of Friday states
that over seventeen thousand
Serbs have just been captured.
As newspaper reports continually
announce the annihilation of
these people we wonder if they
can come back as many times as
Villa, king of Mexican bandits.
After our scientific agricultur
alists have all expended their
opinions as to the best methods
of combatting the boll weevil, it

to death on a diet of peas, pin
flars, potatoes, corn, oats and
wheat will prove the the most
disastrous to Mr. Weevil.

Your brother’s keeper is always

December's bleak and chilly
blasts have no terrors for the
Montgomery county cow whose
owner ha solved the problem of
bettor living by planting plenty
es j as and beans for nay and
winter feeding. And these are
almost as inexpensive to grow as
to cut prairie grass, but the latter
seems more tempting—because
it’s store-bought.
In another column will be
