Pend d’Oreille Review

April 1, 1918 – THINK AND ACT

If you think you are beaten you are; if you think you dare not, you don’t; if you’d like to win, but you think you can’t, it’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you will lose you are lost, for out in the world we find, success begins with a fellow’s will; it is all in the state of mind. Battles in the past have not always been won by the bigger and stronger men, but sooner or later the man who wins is the one who thinks he can. This is Our Easter Greeting to You Today. CITY MARKET, P.A. Nelson.

TOAST

Here’s to the Kaiser, the Limburger cheese; May the swell in his head go down to his knees. may he break his blame neck, on the Hindenburg Line and go to h--- croaking “Der Watch on der Rhine.” Our Tuesdays are porkless, Mondays and Wednesdays are wheatless; we are getting more eatless each day. Our bar room is treatless, my coffee is sweetless, each day I get poorer and wiser. My stocking are feetless, my trousers are seatless. Gee gosh, how we do hate the Kaiser. ST. JAMES HOTEL AND CAFE
