THE HORROR OFlTAR As the years'go on and the instru ments of destruction become more deadly, the foolishness of war is dem onstrated more and more. If it were as easy to improve human nature as it is to perfect machines, there would be a world-wide brotherhood which would make impossible such scenes of ed the “little fellows” or the laboring; class of people. Some people are so stupid as to think that they pay no taxes. They would have her name shrouded in glory but for the purpose of forward-! iag the .cause of temperance andj strong Christian citizenship so dearj to her heart.

Any town or city, to be a good busi ness center, must be ^llpported and fed by a substantial "country trade. The town can prosper to no greater extent than its adjacent rural terri tory prospers. This is one of Clinton’s big handicaps today—we are suffer ing from a lack of country business. And so far as we can see, little or nothing is being done by ^he mer chants and business interests to over come this sit'uation. Everybody is at- tempting^to live on the town, and it just can’t' be done.

CLINTON, S ♦ ' It was very evident that I did a right .'smart of uVeaming about all kinds of delectable food at night, and as I had nothing else in my mouth to chew on, I naturally chewed my tongue. That made it sorer and wors- er as time went on. There’s nothing I know of worse than to be suddenly the nation’s experience. Both parties, awakened in the wee hours of the hi>;hly organized, are spending money morning becau.se of a badly/bitten as-thought it grew on trees, it being tongue estimated that the campaign when completed will havb cost ten million dollars.

He found, after I told him, that 4 of my present 7 teeth (nature’s own ori^nal gift) were as sharp as needle points. With the big battle of ballots set for next Tuesday, radio sets this week will reverberate early and late. On election eve the cost for radio time alone will be more than $100,000 with 250-station's hooked up to carrj’ Well, by agreement (price $3.00) the final appeals to the voters of j my few teeth were ground and whet- Piesident Roosevelt and Governor Landon.

Such an affliction would kill the average woman in less than 24 hours. For several days, all I could in a lisillion, ever reach 100. Insurance 1 “Uh,huh,’’ and “Uh-huh.” records and other public documents, going back more than 100 years, are cited to prove that all of the tales of persons living one or two or three decades beyond the 100-year mark are myths. Maxdcind is the longest-lived of all the mammals, living longer than even whales or elephants; but it is curious, at least, that most of the people over 100 were Imm in places where no-ae- curate public birth records were kept. Such stories come every dsy or two from the far corners of the earth. I^eople believe them because, probab ly, life is the moet precious thing to 1^ of us, and we woi^d rather not be lieve that it has a time-^imit. ^ ’’The days of our years are 'three score years and ten” wrote the Psalm ist; and for the vast majority, that is as true now as it was in David’s day. These words mean: ”Yes,, darling: go ahead and have your own way, as us ual.” This kind of mouth-trouble will keep a person ^om trying to sip overly hot coffee. This' is the voice of experience.
