London. March 29.-"We are fighting
Germany, Austria and drink, and so far
as can see the greatest of these three
deadly foes is drink" said David Lloyd
George. Chancellor OF the Exch luer,
replying to-day 70 deputatlon OF me
Shipbuilding Employers Federation,
the members of which were unanimous
in urging that to meet present national
reouirements there should be a total
nrohibition during the war of the sale
Of intoxicants. This should apply,
they held. not only to public houses,
bu. also TO private clubs, so as TO op-
crate equally in all classes.
II was stated that despite the fact
that work was being carried on night
and dav, seven days in the week, the
total working time on the average in
nearly ell the British shipyards was
actually less than before the war. and
the average productiveness had de-
creased. There were many men doing
splendid and strenuous work, probably
as good as the men in the trenches, the
speakers said, but many did not even
approximate full time, thus disastrous
ly reducing the average.
More Spent for Drink.
Notwithstanding the curtailment of
the hours they are allowed TO keep
open, the receipts Of the public houses
in the neigh borhood of the shipyards
had greatly increased, in some cases
40 per cent, it was stated As an in
stance, the case OF battleship coming
in for immediate repairs was cited.
She was delayed a whole day through
the absence of rivetters, who were
drinking and carousing. In one yard
the riveters have been working on
the average only forty hours week
and in another yard only thirty-six
hours. -

went on horse back, and started for
Missouri, that state not requiring H.
cense at that time.
The trip was narrated by Mr.. Scott
with considerable interest. He stated
he and his bride of 16 had planned to
make the trip during some warm day,
but the wrath of her parents prevented
any movement that bore the slightest
indication of their Intentions. Thus

while the old folks slumbered. They

It is also reported that partial ar
rangements have been made with par.

Creston to Arispe. It is known that
efforts along this line have been made

BARNARD QUEEN
LAYS FREAK EGG

There have been many freak eggs,
the egg with handle on 1T, the cigar
shaped egg, eggs Matching two chicks,
the fresh egg from the grocery and
divers other queer eggs too numerous
to mention. AS matter of fact there
are so many eggs, that it is wonder
that some one does not start a lodge
in honor of the lowly hen fruit But
the latest is what the inventors have
been trying to accomplish for many
years. 1t will be a boon to the fiat
jewellers where crowding is necessary
and will knock out the high cost OF
living. To elucidate: An egg brought
in to The Courier Office by Mrs. J. IA.
Bigham 2O5 Mcpherson avenue, is
really two eggs in one. Eggsactly.

LIFE OF BABE IS
SAVED BY WOMAN
MANCHESTER HEROINE ExTiN.
CUISINES FIRE STARTED BY
COAL OIL.

Muscatine, April 1S.-Kindling a
fire in kitchen stove with the aid Of
oil came near costing the life Of Mrs.
c. j. Boardway, their home and the
life of the little son. Mrs. Boardway
was about to start the fire to prepare
the MONDAY meal, and in her haste
picked up can of oil which she sup
posed was kerosene, and poured a
quantity upon the kindling in the stove
and when she threw the lighted match
into the stove an explosion took place
in which she was terribly burned. Al
though being severely burned about
the face and hands Mrs. Boardway sue
ceeded in extinguishing the flames
which were threatening the destruc-
ton of their home and the life of the
little son. who was in an adjoining
room on the bed
The flames spread over consider
able area of the kitchen and it was by
the most heroice efforts on the part OF
the frightfully burned young woman
that the home was saved. The fire
gained Roadway in the part of the
kitchen where the water pipes and
faucets are located and made it i'm
possible to gain access to a supply OF
water in the kitchen. In order to get
water with which to extinguish the
flames the young woman had to go into
the laundry in the cellar and carry the
water up the stairs and in this way
put out the fire before calling the
neighbors for assistance.

WANT ARB0R DAY
TO Be OBSERVED
GOVERNOR CLARKE MAKES PROC.
LAMATiON SETTING ASIDE
APRIL 20.
SCHOOLS MENTIONED
State Department Of public instruction
Sends Out Data Calling
Attention to the
Date.

Mrs Elizabeth Burgess, county sup
erintendent of schools has received a
communication from the state depart
ment Of public instruction at Des
Moines, which calls attention to the
fact that Governor George w. Clarke
has set aside Friday, April % as the Of
fetal time for the observance of Arbor
Day and Bird Day in Iowa. The circu-
lar is given below:
Governor Clarke has designated Fri
day, April %, 1915, as Arbor and Bird
Day. The department Of public in
struction recommends the general OBJ
servance of the day in the public
schools of the state. A short program
of exercises and out of door activities
consisting of the planting of shrubs
and trees where needed, the destruc-
ton of accumulated rubbish on the
school grounds especially In rural dis
t rhstewcier svETAOINSHRDLU
tricts where janitor is not employed,
and observation lessons concerning the
birds will be an appropriate method Of
spending the day. The problems Of
forestry, the identifying of home and
school yards, the adjoining of street
and roadsides, and the establishment
of parks and play grounds furnish
abundant opportunity for investigation
and consideration.
The pages of natures book are al
ways open. Let us on Arbor day, es-
pecially, take time to read the story Of
natures benefaction to mankind.
Arbor and Bird Day has been observ-
ed for several years by the planting Of
a tree or two with appropriate exer-
cises by many of the public schools OF
Iowa. In some instances the trees have
thrived and become useful for shade
and shelter for ornamental purposes.
Too often they have been neglected
and not allowed to live and grow. The
school grounds are small in most in
stances and wholly inadequate for play
ground and parking purposes. Some
definite plan of arrangement for trees,
shrubs, and vines and play grounds Is
and beauty in the surrounding about
tertere with the space for free play.
Then, let us not forget our friends,
the birds. How we welcome the song
of the first robin in the spring time.
You hear him calling again and again,
if you awake early enough in the morn
ing, "cheerily, cheerily, cheerily, cheer.
up which he repeats in the evening
hours in softer tones. Besides being
a general good fellow, Robin is most
useful and Industrious citizen. He In
cludes in his daily menu vast amount
of injurious insects and larvae.
Then hail to the trees and their
companions the birds.
Sincerely,
A. M. Deyoe,
Supt. Public Instruction
