An acute situation will soon face

More than $3,000,000 of war

More than 50,000 American sol

Uncle Sam has all of his depart

McDonough could use an ice

When you meet a young buck
with his hat on the side of his
cranium, whose highest ambition
is a cigarette, a pair of dice and a
gun, and who speaks of his father

not be permitted to run at large.
A May Morning.
Prohibition came in as mild and
loving as a May morning; and it
was a May morning, so full of the
promise of joy and#plenty; so
easy was it to change from the
bad habit to the good one. The
change was in line of God’s beauti
ful evolution. Humanity will grow
better from now on, seeing that it
has cut loose from alcohol. This
is not simply sentiment. It is a
real thing in human experience.
After a short time, when we get
used to it and people get as much
alcohol as possible out of their
veins, they will look out on a
lovelier life and treat orje another
kindlier. They will all want to do
something handsome and make
the little life around them sweeter
than it has ever been. We will
then reach the life of a real free
dom. So we will keep up the
May morning all through the
ages. —Ohio State Journal.

The Universal Trouble.
Everybody in this country, or
most everybody, is trying, to get
the big end of the bargain. Nearly
all the trouble we are having
socially, industrially, commercially,
may be traced to that fact. Most
men want to do 60 cents worth of
work for a dollar bill, most of
men want to get 75 cents for what
they paid 30 cents for; the tumult
of the age is caused by seek
ing a big margin. A man will
charge as much as the traffic will
stand. The question is not what
a man is entitled to, but what by a
threatening demand he can get.
The country is full of that kind
of business which is the same as
saying action and reaction are not
equal and that the Golden Rule is
a wordy vision. The country is
in a bad fix, because every man
wants it all —the laboring man
wants it all; the farmer wants it
all; the capitalists wants it all; the
merchant wants it all; the lawyer
and doctor wants it all; the officer
and teacher want it all, and they
all have a way of showing that
they are entitled to it all. Things
ought to be twisted around in this
world, so that men should want
only what is fair, but it is going to
require a pretty hefty twist to
make it so. In the meantime, let
every man make up his mind to
take only what he justly owns.—

The unselfish are the happiest —
those who work to make others
happy and forget themselves. The
dissatisfied are those who are
seeking happiness for themselves.
Growing Old Before Your Time.
Kidney trouble tends to “slow
up” men and women in middle
life and they fear oncoming old
age when it is only the kidneys
that are at fault. Foley’s Kidney
Pills assist Nature to restore a
sound, healthv condition and to
banish backache, soreness, lame
ness and stiffness. W. W. Wells,
Tonquin, Mich., writes: “Foley’s
Kidney Pills made me feel like a
new man.” Recommended also

In turning and backing up, with the ordi
nal circle iron, which is only a half circle,
bolsttrs run otf the er.d of the track and
hang. It is difficult to make shortturns and
back ip. The Thornhill full circle iron
gives a continuous track on which the bol
sters can turn.
Flit gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for
life .Instead of the usual front hound plate,
a hound plate of malleable iion is used. It is
a metal jacket braced at eight points that
keeps gears from ever getting out of line.

On the front bolsters of ThomhiH wagons
are heavy iron plates running along top and
bottom—connected by rivets that run clear
through the bolster. Strength ai d lightness
are combined. Rear gears are strongly
ironed. There are braces on both top and
bottom that extend the full length of the
hounds.
Solid trust bars extend the full length of the
axles gi, urg them double strength.
An ounce of pulverized borax
put into a quart of boiling water
and bottled for use will be found
useful for taking grease spots
from woolen goods.
For spc’ies and axles tough second growth highland hickory ia
used For hubs and felioes the sturdy white oak is preferred.
This wood grows upon tlfe mountain side. The ground is hard—
the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice
the strength of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions.
Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. Th*
sap dries in it, giving it a strength that’s kin to steel.
Long Wear Beds
If you examine the beds of Thornhill
Wagons closely you will see at once the
superiority of the construction. The
bottoms are re-inforced over front and
rear bolsters.
Come in and examine this wagon for
yourself. We will take pleasure and
pride in showing you a Thornhill —The
wagon made of tough highland oak and
hickory—with features ail others lack.
