Beware of This Disease
The "big head" is a popular way
of expressing a common and very-
prevalent ailment, it rises from vari

is lack of sense A little money de- ’
velops It in some people, a few good '
clothes gives It to others; a little of- i
flee, where a chance is given to exer- I
else a little authority, is often the I
cause of it; while others are prone
to get it as a result of having
a Job a little better than their associ

son gets the "big head." The one |
who becomes stuck up and stiff-I
necked from source of any kind, are

The act on the part of Germany in
sinking the Laconia this week
considered an overt act by the White
House, and will probably be the cause

means war against the submarines by
