What the United States needs
more than anything else is patriot
ism, which, in essence, means the
service of your country according
to your, place. < ,

The flye leading nations of the
world, as far as numbers of inhabit
ants is concerned, are in order, Chi
na, Russia, America, Germany and
Japan.
The French Liner Rochambeau
brought $43,000,000 to New York
last week. This is almost fifty cents
for every inhabitant and we think
it ought to be divided.
The militiamen on the border
should be allowed to vote by mail.
It would, be too bad if they are
robbed of their right through pro
tecting their country.
We have to agree with this from
the Review of Reviews: “Nations
so valiant as those now at war de
serve sq. live in good undertsandin
and mutual confidence.”

A lot of courting couples thit
the marriage ceremony rings tl.
bell on sentiment and romance, bu<
we are thankful that these two vir
tues continue to inspire humin
hearts. ■ klii •
Here’s a morsel for suffragettes:
An Ohio manufacturer finds women
more efficient in handling big ma
chines, and he says they more than
quadrupled his output in certain
parts.
It must have been a picturesque
sight bn die Rio Grande last Mon
day when twenty Carranza soldi
ers crossed the border to aid nine
Americans who were besieging as
many bandits in a ranh houes.
We Americans consumed 250,-
800,000 gallons of ice cream last
year, This averages about two and
a half gallons apiece, but we know
one man who has done much more
-than his share.
The dentists met recently in Lou
isville. They considered it estab
lished that rheumatism, certain
forms of Bright’s disease, indigest
ion and heart trouble are due to de
fective teeth. How about yours,
neighbor ?
Noticing the remarkable lack of
good manners now current among
pur people a writer thinks it is due
to our willingness to overlook them
•if ,a person has the: ability to
achieve. This is but a passing
Spasm, however, which we think will
soon- be corrected.
; TRe agitation for mhtional de
afen has led to a committee to inves
tigate industrial preparedness. The
report discloses that there are 30,-
000 industrial corportaions with a
capital of SIOO,OOO or more which
could aid in war times, furnishing
everything fro mmunitions and ord
nance to foodstuffs and clothing.

Editors vnd People.
A newspaper editor in a large
I city can sit in his office and write
learned discussions on new fangled
events, but the average country ed
itor has the time of his life looking
after the living of his sheet.
Sure, we haye work, but then
there are compensations galore.
Occasionally someone compliments
us for our efforts, aijd rarer still a
pleased subscriber pays us to send
paper to a friend.
These are really our encourag
ing moments, but there are others
in which we become duly thankful
.hat after all we are not as bad
is the merchant who won't pay for
his ad, or the reader who says “re
fused.”
Os course, we undertsand that
this paper is as much as its native!
town can support and that it ranks'
much better than some of the oaher|
local enterprises which are about,
but then gratitude is seldom the re
ward of those who fail to under
stand the trials necessarily incident
to publishing our paper.
So whenever we hear a kick,
which, by the way, is not so very
often, we just smile to ourselves
and try to believe that the icker
really doesn’t understand, and if
he does, he means nothing of what
he says. Whenever we hear praise,
or get our hands on some real mon
ey for a subscription, we feel like
writing up the subscriber, but in
most instances refrain out of due
regard to his family and a working
knowledge of his past.
WHEN VISITING STRANGE
PLACES.
It is well to be prepared with a
