It seems tluit tine.' arc ;. feu people, in llonjrljis County and
tliey are very lew who think this is tlie proper lime to penil a
Lik l"t 'l iimiiey on p:tt'liiiiK n I' "I'l eourliioiise. No carelul 1
business man w oiilcl think ol spendniK surli a sum as .?."! i.HDM on an I
old liuildmn like our present eourtliou.se, when only three llo ks ;
away stands our s,leimid iie lo'li school, a I'ar larger and more
commodious stiin lilie, which cost le.,s than 7".miii. It this ",-,
000 is spent on the pre-enl courthoiise. we will .still have tile .same
old bunding, with its same old deijrn and inconveniences. It will
still stand in its .same old awkward place neither in Ihe center!
,llori!t the side of the public square .somcthinir that will never be t
. a credit to the county, no mailer how mil h money may be spent
on it. Vet there are some people, who talk about being pronns-l
sive, who waul to spend . n this slrticiure in order to pio-
loiij; ils existence a lew more years. .Such patchwork would only
Ijk u waste ol' the taxpayers' money. .
There is no ipiestion about the people of this county being live
and progressive. llen-e the.v st ivniioiisly protest against putting
S."0,IMM) into an old building now that will nave to be torn down j
111 a lew years, mere is no (lotioi inai in a nimnai auv ei.v
time as soon as the war is over - a really modern and commodi
ous county building can be eree ed, at a cost ol' not niucii over
fcVo.OllO. Such struelure would be properly placed in the ( enter ol
the pill lie square and would be ample anil commodious for the
transaction of the county hiiMiio.; for ."() years to come. It would
fdso be really a source of pride to the people of the county. Hut
the present 'building, even with S.'iO.OINI lavished upon it, will be
the same old, poorly arranged Mill inconvenient structure with
neither architectural beauty nor appropriate location. Kvcn wast
ing money for marble floors in the hallways, as is being proposed,
will not help the matter either. Il only means the loss of that
much more m y. It will all have to be Corn down in a few years
anyway.
There is no real eni'Tgeiicy for rebuilding the courthouse at
the present time when Ihe c: I will be practically twice as great as
under ordinary conditions. Thei is, hovvevir, the greatest emer
gency America lias ever known or saving ev. i.y dollar lust now
so tlie most l;endish war in the world's history may he fought to
a successful lonchision jrsl ;:s u kly as po-sible. Telegraphic
reports .mhlished in yi .-.terdav's W icw t . .1 I of a captured sol
dier's eves beinc ymii" il out a"d -cut to his v lie as "souvenirs."
Also that just bai k of Ihe Cei-in in lines on Ihe llali in front the
nights at this time are made In '. 'oiis by the si t. an - of women
captives w ho are suffering Ihe m : i ! fgnt I'll i ndig ni 1 n anil aw
ful tortures at the hands of cur omniou enemy. Captured women
and children are being taken into the I rout trenehe., to be killed
by the artillery of their husbands, brother.-, and h ila rs. I'ndcr
siicll conditions it is almost unthinkable thai anvoiie would advo
cate spending no. wasting ."i(i.oiiii for the purpo.-e o patching
up an old courlliouse.
Yet, no one should be mistaken or misled in this matter.
Vliless an especially strong and vigorous protest is made by the
taxpayers from all parts of the county the County Court w ill "put
over" this deal, regardless of the fact that more than !ll per rent
of the taxpayers do not favor il. M w ill do no good to talk against
it unless you do something to b.ii k up your bilk. Petitions are in
circulation against this waste . ot the people's money, .-'cc (hat
these petition.-, are given general i irciilalioii. Nearly evi i vone wili
sign them if given the oppoililinl .'. l uli ss this is done and thesi
petitions are bai Led up by a .-Irony di-legiit ion of taxpayers ill the

Sf."i(),(Mill in r,ot year'., laxes, iti. t is sure as the .-.tin i so... It. is up

dent action by Norway ujeuiul the
piratical sinkiiJK of Scandiiiuviau
hhipH by tjermati suhniariiies may
follow the 111 eel ill ! of the k Hit-1 of
Norway, Sweden and Denmark with
their adviHerH at tlhrisliania.
An agreement formed earlier in
t he war by Ihe t h ree Sc and ina v ia n
countries lo conduct their war poli
cies in common has already been
broken by the Swedish to ernincnt's
messenger hoy aid to tlermanv- Nor
way therefore is no Winter bound to
joint action. Th Norwegians have
full justification for entering the
war with the allies, not only on ac
count of the wanton 0 riuun attacks
upon Norwetian hipn, but aUo be
cause the Kaiser has recently le tun
a policy of submarine discrimination
for the belief it of favored neui ralt.
The Artntine tovernment haw re
ceived a promise from Iterlin of in
demnities for hhips previously sunk
and a promise that tin Argentine
Mat hereafter will be respected on
r lie hith seas. Norway, however, can
secure no such consideration from
Germany. This huiuiliat 1011 is 1 he
deeper, because of the i in pi i at ion
that the Kaiser believes Norway's
sister Scandinavian k Intdoms can
hold the Norwegians in check.
The Swedish ruling house needs
no inducement from the Kaiser lo
restrain Norway. because the
Swedish patricians have a strong ad
miration of Prussian militarism.
I 'en mark, having lost two provinces
to Prussian militarism, would he nat
urally on Norway's side, but the
threat of meeting l!egiu:n'n fate is
held over her.
Norway, therefore, must stand
alone in Scandinavia against the llo
henollern menace to civilization. If
the Norwegians decide that national
self respect demands a declaration of
war against Ccrmatiy, the result
would be very advantageous from
the standpoint of allies' naval opera
tions in the Baltic.
A naval base in Norwegian waters
might be so used as to clear the Hal
tic of C.ermau shipping. This would
bring still greater economic pressure
to hear on the Kaiser's subjects ami
would solve the problem of Sweden's
trans-shipment of American supplies
to r.ermait ports.
Musterole Works Easier, Quicker
and Without the Blister
There's no sense in mixing a mess of
mustard, flour and water when you can
easily relieve pain, soreness or 6titfness
with a little dean, white Musterole.
Musterole is made of pure oil of mus
tard and other helpful ingredients, com
bined in the form of the present white
ointment. It takes the place of out-of-date
mustard plasters, ana will not blister.
Musterole usually gives prompt relief
from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsihtis,
croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, head
ache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the bck or
joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises, chil
blains, frosted feet, colds of the chest
(it often prevents pneumonia).
