Yes, a little brief authority turns
the heads of many army officers, and
that is one of the many reasons why
nations should drop their illogical
notions of retaining their sovereign
power to declare war, and should
unite and make a combined declara
tion that there will be war against
any nation that refuses to obey the
common will. That wpuld be a sov
reign act worth while.

but luckily no bones . were broken.
They are safely recovering, but real
ize they had a very narrow escape
The Loalty League met Saturday
evening with a full house, and some
boys on the outside and had a very
good program. A very instructive
talk by Judge Dimick was listened to
with attention and appreciation as he
told of his first experience as a pub
lic speaker, thereby giving a lesson
of encouragement to the young to
"Try, try again." He then went on
to tell of the work of the Salvation
Army, as the drive for that worthy
organization would be on hand this
week, and the solicitor for this dis
trict secured a number of dollars to
wards our quota. Mr. Dimick's wife
and sister were with him, also a
young lady from the Enterprise of
fice, whose name we fail to recall. A
free supper was served in honor of
the returned soldiers but by some
oversight they were not notified to
wear the uniform, and appeared in
citizen's clothing. There was not
enough money in the treasury to pay
a few small debts for lights, etc.,
therefore the president ordered a
penny march and enough was thrown
into the hat to pay all indebtedness,
with some left over to start with
next October. There will be no more
meetings until that month. The pen
ny march, so-called, instituted by
Oswego Grange, has come to stay,
and is a very easy way of collecting
little needed money. All rise at
the first note of the instrument and
march single file around the room
and up to the altar and drop what
ever one pleases . into a receptacle
placed there. , Contributions are all
the way up from a penny.
Some clover is .being cut, and
Henry Baker's field of vetch and oats
is so thick after cutting that he
will be after hiring the house tops
to dry it on as there is no vacant
room on the ground. He worked
hard for two hours to turn over about
a quarter of an acre. We have the
word of a reliable man to the truth
of this statement.
