He does not come to devour J us, as did the tigers of <>ld in their , search for human meat, but rather for j the more pacific purpose of renewing j and cementing the former friendship that existed between our two nations. Let the Tiger roar often and loud, and to his heart’s content. He is thrice welcome to our land and to nor homes. Wo know of si good citizen who makes a practice of nesting his eyes over li is house anil grounds from day to day. If sin axe or a spade or any other articles have I icon dropped where last used he picks them up and places them where they belong. It is the same with anything else that may have a tendency to litter up the place. The result? His place is always neat, and clean, and orderly, and attractive to the eyes of those who pass by. There are other good citizens who do the same, but there might be many more than there are. When Major General George Bell, Jr., retired from the army recently, a great reception, banquet and ball was tendered h in and Mrs. Bell by the army officers of the Sixth Corps Area and the citizens of Chicago. That, however, was but an incident in the notable career of this grim tighter. The outstanding feature is the fact that his former officers of the 33rd Division from all over Illinois flocked into Chicago to attend the affair and testify to the love and esteem they still feel fo rfheir old commanded of way days, who led them through the furnace of hell on the fighting front' in France. We are not a hero worshipping people, but there are some things red blooded Americans never forget. When you were a child in school your parents were keeping a watchful eyo on your progress from day to day. But parents had more time in those days than they have now. Or at least they took the time necessary to see that their children were given proper support and encouragement. True, we are now living in a swifter age. and must move rapidly or drop behind in the mad scramble for conquest. With some this may serve as an excuse for leaving everything to the teacher who is paid to cultivate the brains of our offspring. In reality, though, it should prompt us to exercise even greater personal supervision over tin* educa tion and training of our children, in order that they may not lie outdis tanced in a faster pace yet to be set. For the one who lags behind gets only what is left by those who sweep on in the race of life. KICKED IN THE PANTS During political campaigns both poli tical parties make numerous promises which are never kept after election. It has been so in the past, and will continue to be so in the future, until the people arise in their wrath and admin'ster a chastisement too drastic to tie forgotten. Both parties are af flicted villi the 'll me disease, a deadly malady that is alienating the respect and confidence of millions of voters each year. The party machinery is in the ha ds ol a few self chosen leaders, and these men manipulate it to their own advantage and i<* that of the favored "interests.” It is seldom that the welfare of the plain voter is taken into consideration. At the last presidential election (he democratise leaders wondered what mount.! n had fallen upon them. But the independent democratic voter knew quite well what it was. It was the weight of h > own displeasure. Now in ail off year election, the rcpuld can leach rs are wondering from whence* catue the paralyzing wallop that ahnost annihilated them. And this tini'* it i> tlm independent repub lican voter who knows the secret <>t the snai'h. Some day o .r self appointed leaders will learn that the people want legis lation and government for tin* people, and not for the pampered and fattened few. There is hope that in time a kick in tlie pants will kick some sense into their heads. . {string town NO 1 Health of this community is good and has been for several years. Mr. and Mrs. \V. I).
