This unnecessary litter can be easily obviated by indi vidual attention paid to carrying away and destroying used paper wrappings and receptacles.

I looked over the editorial page of the Press with much expecta tion to find some mention of our mu tual friend, Colonel Wood. Not finding any of his hide taken off in this par ticular issue, 1 was profoundly dis appointed. Wood iB a scoundrel and I hope you won't let him rest many more weeks without telling the public what he really is." Wo thank Mr. Dyment for his words of sympathy and support in our life long feud with this verbose and vi tuperous viper, and assure him the aforesaid hide, though growing tough and leathery with age, will still be ex tracted from the Kernel' worthless old carcass, hs necessity arises. .

Then It can't be trained on them. As long as wo have Mexico there thu United States will alwuys be bor dering on something. Can't they get up some substitute better for that sadly overworked phrase, "tho acid test?" There may be married soldiers, of coarse, who find upon reaching home that the war Isn't over, jf However, the busatt'nll players who return from the army will find women liuve not uAurprf their Jobs.

Maybe the cheaper flivver Is being brought In to offset the threatened drive for popularity the airplane Is about to make. The British government experts are reported, to hrfve devised a silent nlr plane motor, but so far the experts are also silent. Man was born to brag. And for the most part, Just now, bis boasting Is confined to telling how long he has worn that old suit. The number of American propagan dists who nre actually spreading the awful doctrine of "America first" Is ruptdly Increasing. Bring out the champion optimist medal for the man who Is seeking to secure college men to serve as mis sionaries to Itussla. Embattled war gardeners should re member that this Is not pence but mereky an armistice and go on with their preparedness program.
