Big peace expeditions from little Fords have grown. o The Columbia Record says that it is sure there will be no "pease" on the Ford peace commission. o Honesty is the thing in this world upon which to build a credit. Money is nothing compared to it. o The ways of the modern life are indeed feverish as practiced by some devotees. , ? u And now people are even going to Europe to the theater of the warring nations, with a Ford. o Does using the law on a real rascal ever do very much, good? It takes thunder and lightning to make some rascals shell out. o Buy like sixty while money lasts, Make no efforts for more, Ride it out on gasoline, Let the garage have the scraps. The best basis of credit at last is the genuine old simon-pure honesty. No matter how much money a man may have, it is not safe to credit him if he is not an honest man. o The Marion Star seems to have been afraid that it did not do enough or say enough for the Marion County fair. We think it did though. o One million nine hundred and ninety-nine old maids in this country would be pleased to see the wedding of President Wilson. o Money makes a great show for a little while; but moderate means in the hands of an honest man is a better asset than thousands in the bank claimed by a rogue. The Mullins Enterprise had a nice fat goose for one Christmas not longago. Another friend promised a tur key lor lust Thanksgiving but forgot to send it; and now the scribe is wondering if they vvijl think again and send it for Christmas. Never mortgage the farm to buy an automobile. No matter how much you want to go, there are other things besides Fords that can pick you up. Yes, be content to rest the remainder of your life in the lunatic assylum for speed erazincss because you couldn't do it, rather than mortgage your little farm for a "buzz-wagon." The Utfrte .-town did not have enough force behind it to pave its principal Streets, fk***evdn to purchase a street sprinkler; but its citizens owned enough Fords to make the streets look like a hive of bees with clouds of dust blacker than the thunder clouds of Summer. o The war iif Europe presents no prbblem to what will meet the warring nations face to face when they find themselves up against ^starvation when the war has ended. o We have yet to hear of the high cost of marriages. "High Cost" is a term used exclusively to matters, like living, for instance occurring after the marriage has taken place. n The idea of some young people is | just to marry. They seem to have no other ambition in life and seem to think there is nothing to do but to marry for love and settle down and live happy ever after.

On Saturday, October 9th, 1915, death came to the home of Mr. and Mrs. (1. M. Tompkins and took away with him their darling baby. Though it was very hard to part with one so dear, yet we know that the good Lord knew best and thus he took little Toda to live with him. Our hearts were sad and torn at having to give her up. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away and blessed be the name of the Lord. Wo humbly bow to his blessed will. He doeth all things well and said "Suffer Little Children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. She was born on July 31st, 1914. She was one year, two months and eight days old. Her remains were laid to rest on the day following her death at Popiar church, the funeral services conducted by the Rev.- W. R. Phillips of Conway. Her life was ,.1 K..i * i ? - " siiun inn sweet nere on eartn. Uhl how sad it is to part with such a sweet little one. It is always the sweetest flower that is plucked first. The Master only took this little hud to blossom in Heaven. She is done with the trials and tribulations of this world, and we cannot wish her back, but it is sad to be parted from her for life with only her dear image enshrined in our hearts. She is survived by father and mother and three sisters and many friends. Our home without her seems the saddest phice on earth, May glorious sun-beams always kiss the sod that covers your resting place Her Loving Aunt, MATT IK TOMPKINS. Adrian, S.

DISCUSS PEACE If Enemies Made Proposals Compatible With Dignity and Safety Berlin.?"If our enemies make peace proposals compatible with Germany's dignity and safety, then we shall always be ready to discuss them," said the imperial chancellor, Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg, in addressing the Reichstag today. The chancellor made it clear that in his opinion it would be folly for Germany to propose peace as long as in the countries of our enemies the guilt and ignorance of statesmen are entangled with confusion of public opinion." Conscious of her military successes, the chancellor said, Germany declines responsibility fo ra further continuation of the war. Germany, he declared, could not be charged with the purpose of fighting on to make further conquests. "The war can be termniated only by a peace which will give the certitude that war will not return," the chancellor declared. "We all agree about that." He asserted Germany's food supplies were sufficient and that her immense source of copper were adequate for many years. The address of Dr. Von Bethmann nonweg wmcii lias boon awaited with extraordinary interest, was made in response to the socialist interpellattion. "Is the imperial chancellor ready to give information as to the conditions under which he would be willing to enter into peace negotiations." In his reply he said: "As long as in the countries of our enemies the guilt and ignorance of statesmen are entangled with confusion of public opinion, it would be folly for Germany to make peace proposals which would not shorten, but would lengthen the duration of the war. First the masks must be torn from their faces. "At present they speak of a war of annihilation against us. We have to take this fact into account. Theoretical arguments for peace or proposals of peace will not advance us, will not bring the end nearer. "If our enemies make peace proposals compatible with Germany's dig nitv and safety then we shall always be ready to discuss them. Fully conscious of our unprecedented military successes, we decline responsibility for the misery which now fills Europe and the whole world. No one can say > that we continue the war because we still desire to conquer this or that country as a guarantee." T? .1 l " * * * * I in inese worcis tne cnancellor, with impassioned voice, stated the position of the German government on the 1 question of peace. His remarks were cheered with great enthusiasm. When Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg rose to reply to the interpellation presented by Dr. Scheidmann, socialists leader, silence fell over the house, but was soon broken by manifestations of approval. Several times the depties and galleries interuptcd him with chec rs. Dr. Von Bethmann-Hollweg began by saying that in the countries at war with Germany there had been much discussion of the socialist interpella; tion, and that the knowledge that ; peace was to be discussed in the Reichstag had been a source of satisfaction to these countries, i This was incomprehensible, in view of the success won in the campaign against Serbia which opened the road ! to Germany's Turkish allies and i threatened the most vulnerable points of the British empire. No Overtures Made. Although this situation would explain a desire for peace on the part i of Germany's enemies, he declared, i none of them had made overtures. I TAX NOTICE.
