A HUMORLESS PEOPLE.
"God's hand has visibly iprevnll
ed." The Kaiser.
This la a horrible example o
' ' what can happen to a nation or to au
individual that has been deprived ol
all humor.
- The kaiser la a thick, conceited
' egomaniac Who would froth at the
.mouth and fall In a lit It anyone
dared to laugh at him. A thick, con
ceited person, is without a sense o:
. humor. It he had one, he would real
ize the absurdity of bis own thick
ness and conceit.
Similarly, the German .people are
thick and conceited. They have
stuffed themselves with rich foods
and self-adulation for so many years
that they are slow-witted fat-beaded.
They are furious when they are
laughed1 at. They never laugh at
themselves. ' Whatever they Bay Is
sound ; whatever they do is right. So
far as they are able to discover,
there is nothing about themselves to
provoke mirth. .
That's why It la that neither the
' kaiser nor the German people see
anything laugnable In the statement
vthat God's hand hail visibly prevail
ed, though mutilated and outraged
women weep in Belgium and' France
and harmless homes of England
-mourn, mothers and children dead
from aerial bombs. Poor, thick
headed, atuprpd, humorless Germany.
The kaiser's policy of splitting up
Europe into small kingdoms becomes
understandable when you consider
how many eons he has.
Ten base hall games were played
In one day in Paris. No wonder so

BOY WHO FIGHTS FOR MOTHER.
(By Fred Emerson Brooks, the-Cali
fornia poet, for Y. M. C. A.)
On the lips of each flower Is a kiss
and a prayer
From the mothers of men to their
boys everywhere;
Tla the love of all mothers to each
valiant Bon
Who has sworn to turn back the red
scourge of the Hun.
Though the blossom may wither the
love still endures
la the land of the free every mother
is yours.
Man honors the brave as he honors
no other
And God loves the boy who will
fight for his mother.
' If you are a republican, for the
sake of Jehovah vote like a republi
can. Don't- be a luke-warm. milky,
' slow-and-easy, go-between just the

" Do not forget that a vote for Mc

WHAT THIS
Means to Every Person and Family
EVERY Intelligent man, woman and child knows of the tremendous advances
In oil lines of merchandise In the past few months, but few of .them realize
tlint the next few months will see still Kieatcr advances. The merchants are
today facing the greatest crisis in their history, Thoy ore receiving notices
'of advances on almost every article In every mall. Merchandise is not only going
sky high in price, it is scarcer and harder to get than over before. Merchants aro
forced to raise the prices on everything in their stock not from choke, but from
necessity,' Therefore, when we toll you tluit we are actually selling merchandise in
almost every Instance for less than any merchant can buy the same goods for In the
j big eastern wholesale markets today, you should appreciate the importance of this
sale. It is only a matter of a very short time until you will pay more than double
wliat wo are asking right now for new and "P to date coats, suits and dresses, and
never again during the war .will you be able to got such beautiful all-wool mntorials.
ltemember, wo are closing out all men's goods, and it is not ony tho duty of every
man and .woman to corao to tills wile, but tlint one would actually bo committing a
crime against himself und family by neglecting tills wonderful opportunity to save.
