A good farmer Is as important these days as a good soldier. It takes a real optimist to see any cheer in his coal bin these days. The draft registrant at the foot of his class is not necessarily a slacker. Men who try to evade the draft are likely to get something worse than a cold. The mun who neglects to shut the door is neither an economist nor a pa triot. Now is the time for all forehanded monarchs to forge their scepters into golf clubs. One way not to economize is to ship perishable goods by freight and let them freeze. Corn bread is said to be good for the complexion. Save your complexion and win the war I What has become of the fellow who was always wishing for "a good old fashioned snow?"

A girl who knits for herself Is called a "pig knit ter" and the officers. who hang around the homes of the big noises who have qligiblo daughters are called "parlor snakes." It is beginning to look very much to the man up the tree that there are a whole lot of people In this country who do not care to do very much hard work at the present wages-meaning they can make enough In two days to loaf the rest of the week. "What is home without a paper?" A home without a newspaper is no home at all. It is a kind of dreary den-a rendezvous of bedbugs and fleas, where the inhabitants live in blissful ignorance of what the world is doing. It is inhabited by a class who do not know who is president or what he is president of-who never find out that, a thing has happened until long after everyone else has for got ten it. The children grow up in rags and dirt, while the wife generally finds consolation in darning socks and lugging a pipe loaded with long, green tobacco, and the man generally lives because he can't die and he is too lazy to kill himself. lie goes out on elec tion days and does not know who he is voting for, but just takes the ticket bearing the name his great-great grandfather voted for. Write ! "If I were back home- and I am glad I am not--there is one thing that I would do and urge other people to do.

Paris.-The name of President Wil son has supplanted those of King George V of England and of the latt Emperor Nicholas of Russia as a label for popular styles in men's weariln apparel in the Paris shops. FLASHLIGHTS A man has to tell only one lie to be branded as a first-class liar. The Hun is finally waking up to the fact that It is the last victories which count. A true friend knows that a slander about you isn't true, and if it ia true he knows there was a good reason for It. One mian's opinion is just as good as another's, but th:ut doesn't keep both men from thinking theirs io bet ter. Some men are hustlers, and oth ers rush through a job to find out how fast they can do it, not how well. The reason there are so many fail ures Is because there are so many men who think they can succeed without doing any of the hard work re quired. It takes some men a long time to discover that their rights and the rights of others frequently clash, and when that happens courtesy not just iee has to rule. Parents who leave their children to h-e taught by strangers shouldn't complain afterwards if they discov er that they've learned things they dlidnf't want them to know.
