SHOPE--------------------_.____--------------Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1917. A big noise never indicates a wise head. It is often the pastime of the fool. The kaiser announces that he will fight to the last gasp. Certainly, Billium; we don't expect any other outcome. The late arrival of summer inclines one to the suspicion that speculators have cornered the sun. Some day, somewhere, some fellow will invent a pipe that will do its own puffing. In time, forsooth, we will cease to say, "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." There will be no crowns to wear. East St. Louis, it seems, is becoming "kaiserized." Its brand of "kultur" is distasteful to the rest of American mankind. Don't bother your head pouring over a French primer, your man. A kiss tastes just as sweet from a foreign tongues. t CURBING THE WASTE. Just now the housewives of the country are being de- a luged with advice and warnings as to waste in the kitch ens. In nine families out o every ten the advice is en- v tirely superfluous, from the fact that prices and pocket- s books fail to harmonize. Economy was the first lesson learned by the women when the present era of high prices opened. There is practically no waste in the aver age American home. The waste and extravagance in this country is in the C hotels, restaurants, cafes, etc., and in the mansions of the idle rich. Intelligent economy will never be practiced h in these places so long as people persist in from six to ten course meals, of which but a small fraction is actually consumed, the residue going either to "second hand" re sorts or to the swill barrel. No system of food economy a can be successful that permits waste of products for no other reason than that the waster has the price. A FIELD FOR CENSORSHIP. A fruitful field for government censorship would be in the matter of the hypocritical peace talk that periodically emanates from German subsidized correspondents and is spread broadcast throughout this country. It is a smooth game Germany is playing. By creating a widespread impression that she stands ready to consummate peace at any time, she hopes to place this government in the attitude of obstructing peace. That the insidious virus is working is seen on all hands. It can not be too strongly impressed upon our people that peace is the last thing; Germany desires-that is, an equitable peace. Had she really desired such a peace she would have made some concrete proposals before this. In stead of so desiring, she hopes to spread dissension amongx her enemies that shall work to her advantage. Congress could make no more commendable move t'ran to establish a strict censorship of fake German peceC proposals.

IIOTOR CARS NEEDED TO CARRY TROOPERS lapid Time Made Where Automobiles Are Available. When it comes to matters military, ittle Visalia, Cal., is not only patriotic ut strictly modern. A short time ago he recruiting officers in that town ere informed that a machine gun company was needed in a hurry by he Second California Infantry. A rapid-fire recruiting campaign roduced the men in 24 hours and hen A dozen business men of Visalia, who own Dodge Brothers motor cars, >ffered to set the new recruits at the ?residio at San Francisco in record ime. This was the first attempt at mov ng troops long distances by motor n the San Joaquin Valley and it was vatched with much interest by mili ary men. The 230-mile run was made in eight mnd one-half hours, with an average peed of 27 miles an hour. The first Calf of the trip was completed with t 35-mile average, but rain and slip ery roads cut the average to 27 be ore the ferry at Oakland was reach d. While the number of men moved in his particular instance was small, he run demonstrated that the num >er of troops it would be possible to 'ush to a given point would depend vholly on the number of motor cars available. The only delay reported on the en ire trip was occasioned by five punc ures. The performance of the Dodge 3rothers cars aroused high praise rom the officers who accompanied the ecruits on the trip. 750 lbs. at $22.00 was W. H. Holla ay's sale at Clark's. NOTICE.
