The Vidette speaks plainly, calling
facts by their first names. As the
death list comes back to us we will
appreciate the truth of the above
declaration.
If women are people they should
salute the American flag, Just as
the men should do.
Who started this policy of teach-
ing American children to be afraid?
Was It an alien enem^?
After you have decided to stand
with Uncle Sam against the Ger-
man Kaiser, never look back.
Intrigue comes like a fog. Tt Is
not something that can be resisted
with gun or bayonet. It is a mental
effect.
Poultry men are learning to raise
their own oat crops on which to sup-
ply the birds with green food at
any time of the year.
The pleasure of work is the great-
est boon save one, and that Is the
pleasure of recovering from fatigue
through the medium of sleep.
While attention to details and small
arms are valuable In war, the result
of the battle has come to depend upon
the big guns. This fact has also been
noted in the affairs of private indus-
tries.
John Barleycorn left the mark of
his influence upon the city of Waco
as he abandoned the trenches on that
front last .Saturday night. The few-
persons killed and Injured In his last
day's work will probably stand as the
ruin record of the next succeeding
year inclusive of that day.
"We should all get together and
fight like the devil," to win tlie war,
declared William Jennings Bryan in
an address in Illinois. Continuing, he
said: "I have been a pacifist in times
past, and I still believe in peace, but
the sort of peace I want is lasting
peace." He knows that either dem-
ocracy or autocracy must be whipped
In this conflict before a lasting peace
may be achieved.
There are various war measures that
attract the attention of the communi-
ty, but the activities or tne Army
Athletic Club in promoting athletic
enterprises and the practice of phys-
ical culture will direct benefits to
the individual and the community at
large. The cne thing needed to meet
the demands of the present emer-
gency is strength, the attainment of
which is the ultimate goal of tbe
Army Athletic Club of Temple, Texas.

In the event the city council pro-
poses to take up the task of meeting

partment we feel sure that the steps

marks an important turn in the
growth of a city.
Superintendent Orupe of the ClebUrne
Wutrrworks company brought to this of
flee » lerga pecan which grew on on* of the
trees nt tha waterworks pumping plant.
Mr. Or\tp* stated that the trees were

oans and hav* a ahail* tree tliat bring*

view.
The idea Is a good one, provided you
have water like the waterworks. You
note the location of the trees In Cle-
burne and along Texas riverB—always
adjacent to the water supply. If you
have a good supply of water always
available for the trees, then by all
meiuis raise pecans.

What we need to do is not to or-
ganize the AiiAJilas club but to prevent
the organisation of one in this commu-
nity. The way to do that is to chase
the story to its source. When you
hear some improbable story affecting
the nation's welfare, just reach over
and catch the messenger by the lapel
of the coat and make him go with you
to prove what he has told. Bo not
allow him to escape with the plea:
"That is what t-h-e-y say." Cause
him to prove up or shut up.

Marine Pay Tribute To Bclovwl Ser-
geant Falling In Haiti.
(Tempi* Telegram Special.)
Washington, Dec. 4.—A concrete
monument, moulded by his old com-
rades-in-arms, has Just been erected
at Ouantanamo, Cuba, to the memory
of Sergeant John Piatt, U, 8. Marine
corps, who escaped unscathed in bat-
tles in China, Mexico and the Philip-
pines, only to fall at Fort Riviere,
Haiti, September 26, 1915, while cam
paigning against Caco bandits.
Sergeant Piatt was very popular in
the Marine corps and betimes, when
other duties did not prevent, his old
comrades serving at Ouantanamo,
worked on tha monument which they
have just unveiled.

fAike McLuke Kays,
It Is strange how daintily a girl
can handle a cold in her head with
a two-inch handkerchief when a man
with a cold in his head can't han-
dle It with a sheet.
Once upon a time there was a
man who was so rich that he would
not accept a dead-head pass to a
show. Hut he died. He was too
good for this world.
W« know a husbsnd who prides
himself on his thoughtfulness and
generosity because he brings his wife
a box of candy once a week and then
east four-fifths Of It himself. And
there are a lot of husbands just
like him.
Some men are so Good and Pure
that they get a lot of pleasure out Of
not having any fun in life.
Before marriage he Is the light of
her life. But after marriage he
goes out too often.
Even when a man knows his duty
he often tries to avoid it by seeking
advice.
A man may have an impediment In
his speech. But that doesn't prevent
him from saying a good word for
himself.
Some men attain obscurity by be-
coming hermits and living in ceves.
And others get the same results by
marrying famous women.
Any colored man would rather have
a chicken's foot than a rabbit's
foot—if the rest of the chicken is
attached to it,
There sre some jobs that even
the Devil is ashamed to do. So he
turns them over to a hypocrite and
they are always accomplished.
The most futile thing in the world
is trying to dictate to a woman—
unless she happens to be your sten-
ogra Micr.
After all. the man who is dis-
appointed in love is lticky, because
If he hadn't been he would only be
disappointed In marriage.
Some people are like dogs. The
more they are abused, the better they
seem to like it
A girl turns a deaf ear to the fel-
low who Is whispering love when a
fellow who makes a noise like real
money comes around.

Granger people have responded

she is leading towna similar In rise
In aiding Uncle Sam. Some people in
nearby towns are unable to do so much
In distressing times like these. Her
people are loyal and are ready and
willing to assume their part of the re-
sponsibilities when called upon. They
will do more if necessary. She has

An Insidious Tax.
Relative to the fact that we are to
have a partial fast two days in the
week, one to be a beeflese day and
the other to be a beefless and porkless,
but fish, game, etc., are to be served,
the proposition is good so far as it
goes, but to call it a partial fast would
seem absurd to scientific health In-
structors who teach that only one kind
of flesh should be eaten at any one
meal, as two or more kinds interfere
with each other. The writer has not
eaten any flesh (luring the past eleven
years, but has eaten three and often
four good meals every day since dis-
carding flesh, and now at the age of
52 feels better, works longer and
sleeps less than he did ten years ago.
V flesh is one of the best foods, why
do surgeons advise their patients to
leave off flesh foods prior to surgical
operations? From many scientific ex-
periments made with flesh as food it
has been found that the average man
can only assimilate about two ounces
of flesh per day, and a hard working
man not over four ounces. The sur-
plus eaten serves as an extra tax on
the stomach, liver and kidneys, makes
bad blood, etc,—E. M. Roberts in San
Angelo Standard.

t DID not get all the sleep that was
coming to me lasd nite, for just
as I was thinking that the frawg legs
I had et was beginning two werk and
that I was lambasting the sawdust
out of Skin and Lil and jumping awl
arownd them so fast thay cood not
land on ms I was woak up by an offal
skreem, and then by another won, and
tha re was a big noise downstares, and
I did not dast take Jubileo down with
me for everybuddy wood want to
know how he got in the house, so I
shut the dore and run down thsre In
ray shirt and everybuddy was standing
arownd tha buttery dore in there
shirts aad then I knew what It was
and I peekt in and there was my snt
Nancy standing wltb a spoon all cov-
erd with ereem in one hand and won
foot In the air all full of tax.
There was ten tax In that foot
whitch shose how big her feet are
for I had to put the tax verry close
together. So when everybuddy had
seen what It was my father backed up
two her and took her foot between his
knees like he was shooing a horse
two malk her stand
still and then he
1 y polled the tax out
t- > —* won by won and
eeeh won he pulled
out she holterd
worse than ever, and
my mother sed so
that is who has ben
talking my creem,
and my ant sed 1
gess 1 am titled two
a spoon full of creem
In my oan brothers
howse wonts in a

on*ntf»r? *?il! 8n<l no b"<Jd5r but H
air aU fall of t«. stingy savidge wood
put tax on the fiore
where they know a persun is llble to
come in there bear feet and then she
lim|>t off two her bedroom so exslted
that she took the spoon with her, and
I gess my mother knows now that 1
did not swipe the creem, and every-
buddy Just laffed aud hollered when
my ants dore was shut and affder a
while she stuck her curl papers out
of the dore and sed that is rite laff
and sho youre lggnerants and brutal-
ity, and then they did luff, I suppose
affder awhile they will begin two
wunder who put the tax thare and I
will get n\y lammin', but it was ser-
tenniy worth it. 1 gess i^iave got her
gote all rite.
It was kwite a long wnile befoar I
went two sleep and I never did get the
resd of my dream back and finish
licking Skin and Lil, I dont think I
will go out with the gang Satterday,
I do not think mutch of kids that is
flting awl the time, and I know my
mother wood not want me two play
with that kind, and a fella shood do
what his mother wants him two 3o.
I have got a siggcret hid In the barn
and I will put in the day leming two
smouk and practiss up shooting mar-
bels and taking care of my sister! I
am the oanly brother she has got and
when a kid has oanly got won sister he
otto look affder her. I do not think

I know lots of things about Yot and
if thay are like him I gess they do not
amount two mutch, no decent feila
wood want two play with them. When
thay have gone I have got a good mind
two paist Yot won for bringing them
arownd whare decent fellas are.
When I had mllkt Jersey and come
in two brekfast my ant had not come
out of her room and my mother had
not knone that she was not coming
out so she had cookt enuff whitch
made me feel prltty good, and then

letting the cow go slo and chunking
at. birds on the way, and I neerly
naletl won. I am getting two be a
better shot all the time. I had a file
with a boy naimed Pickets Smith
wonts and it was like dodging bullets
two dodge the rocks he fired, so by
the time I have practised a littel
more I can probly chunk as strate as

When I got back home and was
going thru the brickyard the hole

Appendicitis
Appendicitis la an Inflammation
of the vermiform appendix, aa ut-
terly useless rudimentary organ
that opeaa oa the digestive tract
about when the small Intestine
eraptes into the large iateatina, the
colon. Among the many causes are
creresertloa, eoastipaUoa, indiges-
tion. a Maw upon the abdomen,
cold, grippe, tha distention of the
appendix by gas so that particles of
undigested food, containing perhaps
infectious germs, enter and occa-
sion tha Inflammation. There nuty
ha simple catarrhal Inflammation;
or ulceration. This frequently ends
la gangrene er perforation and peri-
tonitis, all grave conditions. Nearly
one-half of the ewes occur between
1< and W years of age.
What are the symptoM? First
there te pain, like to he paroxysmal
In character—that Is, terrible at one
time aad then letting up tor awhile.
This pain, at flret directly ever the.
appendix, Is apt soon te become
generalised ever the whole abdomen,
the waH of which becomes distended
and rigid. There Is tenderness to
the touch, espclally at McBarney'a
point, which Is about midway of a
line drawn diagonally from the
navel to the bony prominence on
the outer, right Hide of the lower
abdomen. The diffused tenderness
I have mentioned comes on with
peritonitis. As the malady progress-
es a boggy, dough like mass may be
felt low down on the right side.
There .is generally pronounced vom-
iting, causing much suffering; us-
ually constipation, a great deal of
pas distending the abdomen, and
there are rise of temperature to 109
a»d more degrees and a quick pulse,
maybe up to 120 to the minute. Gen-
eral peritonitis is indicated by the
extension of the pain, tenderness,
fae formation and recurrence of
tha vomiting—there is then danger
of grave collapse and death. Appen-
dlcitia may be mistaken for acute
indlgeation, hernia, kidney or gall
•tone, bowel obstruction, floating
typhoid fever and other dis-
®*we. Of coarse such a case must
be, from beginning to end, in the
hands of the family doctor.

The tightwad, in a time of peace, is
such a frost the town police would
like to run him in; but then the tail
goes with the hide, and so we let the
tightwad slide, although he is a sin.
We view him with a high disdain, but,
though he gives us all a pain, we let
him stay on earth; we'll stand for
many measly things when peace un-
folds her snowy wings, and fills the
world with mirth. But now It is
man's duty, plain, to ease the nation's
fesrful strain, by digging up the rocks;
be ought to give until It hurts, he
ought to sell his lids and shirts, and
soak hie Sunday socks. I know an
ancient widowed dame, who toils along
with aching frame, to earn her meagre
board; she wants to help the Red
Cross cause, and so she comes with
open paws, and gives her elender
hoard. And here's the village plutoV
crat, on mortgages grown beastly fat,
well heeled with coin is he; good
things have reached him in a flood—
and we can see him sweating1 blood,
as he digs up a V. It is the time that
tries men's souls, and skates who hang
on to their rolls when every gent
should give, who grudge the soldier
boys a yen, will be despised by loyal
men, so long as they may live.

I'rtHoners Ret Out of Illinois
Mate Prison.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Joliet, 111., Dec. 4.—Thirteen con-
victs escaped from the state peniten-
tiary here early yesterday by sawing or
cutting their way through steel bars
and then' beating two guards Into un-
consciousness.
Guards in the two towers nearest
the east gate fired on the fleeing eon-
victs as they disappeared over the
wail, but none Is believed to have
been lilt. A large posse started after
the convicts, who took a southerly
direction.
If America does not adopt a policy
of favoring her own people by the en-
forcement of stringent immigration
laws, foreign nations will ship their
unfit to thla country as soen as pos-
sible.

TV Mule as n Work Animal.
The mule has certain decided advan-
tages as a work animal. For the man
who does not know how or is unwil-
ling to give his horses a reasonable
amount of care, the mule Is the better
animal, because he will take better
care of himself than will the horse.
The mule naturally is more able to
stand hot weather than is the horse.
He will slow down when the work be-
comes hard and the weather hot,
whereas a horse will begin to fret, andl
thus will be even more likely to be-
come overheated. Hence, a mule is
safer In the hands of a careless or in-
competent driver.
The mule requires less grain and
will readily consume more roughage
than will a workhorse doing the same
•mount of work. The mule is less
subject to digestive disorders.
Another important consideration is
that a mule does not depreciate In.
value Bo much from age and hard
usage as does a horse.—Farm and
Fireside.
