Flies" Sins used in the com

living worth while.
From time to time cases of dire dis
| tress and want come to light in this
city which remind us that as q COM
munity we are not doing our full duty
toward those who are playing In hard
luck. It would be interesting to have
the Ministerial Union, Good Fellows
Club, Marshalltown Club, or some 9TH
er public body compare Marshall
county's expenditure for poor relief
with that of other counties in this state
or in other states. The complaint SO
aften made is that our poor relief in
this county consists principally in the
employment of an overseer. but that
may not be true and II so, it is unfair
to hold this opinion so generally az
the public does at present. Let's have
an inquiry into the amount OF aid
which actually gets to the poor in this
county and compare it with the poor
relief work Of other counties and know
whether we are measuring up to our
responsibilities or whether we are SIM
ply saving the money while people sick
and out Of work are starving. 1t so Of
ten happens that the pubic sees only
the distress of poverty while the char
ity secretary or poor overseer has
seen the cause of poverty. as well that
we ought to suspend judgment until an
inquiry has been made but we should
make the inquiry and know.
Auto drivers who disobey the plain
provisions Of the state law which PEN
Allies the priver who passes standing
street car when it is taking on or dis
charging passengers deserve and should
get the limit of the law. However, the
street car stops only for passengers
and the delay while change is being
made for half dozen passengers with
dollar bills or larger ones was not
contemplated by the lawmakers, I'm
der our one man system Of street car
operation such delays are not at all in
frequent and they result in very an
moving delay to auto drivers which in
cites them to violation Of the statute.

We've moved into our dwelling now
At least It's new to US
And everything these mad days bring
Is strange and curious.
Electric lights go out at nights
In weird and shostly way;
The gas. fear. will not appear
Till some far-distant day.
We grove and fret no water yet

That busy flies in droves arise

Not find out where we dwell:
The milkman. too. with vintage blue
We miss his morning yell.
The postman leaves some bulky sheaves
or letters not for us,
While mail that we want terribly
Makes other victims cuss.
The pictures fall from off the wall
Because their frames are rent;
The chairs collapse, our heads get raps
That bring more discomfort.
We've moved into our dwelling new,
We suffer all day long;
We'ro In, you see, but nil agree
That we are in dead wrong.
If we but fix this home,

THE TRENCH-WAR AT SOUCHEZ
OF the Days Best Cartoons.
By Bernard KciIcrmnnn.

ON THE WESTERN GERMAN
FRONT. August so have seen
them and talked TO them. the
men fighting out there in the
trenches of Souchez. Just now they
arc resting, hut tonight they will DO
hshting again like demons. The roads
and paths for miles around are under
fearful FIRE. Almost every second a
she'll bursts with deafcning roar
Through this inferno they must pass.
Then they Will be In souchcz.
What is Souchez? a small village
which nobody knew n few months ago.
and which now will never he forgot
ten again. Tho little hamlet is marked
for all time. like Gravelotte and
of Souchez must be entered in large
letters.
There is nothing left of the village
but heap OF ruins. The houses left
their places, jumped to the street and
collapsed. little creek runs through
the hamlet, the brook of Carcncy. but
It's banks are destroyed and IL has
left the bed through which II peace
fully ran for centuries. With sad
murmur. the yellow. dirty water flows
Into tho craters formed by explosions
OF hundreds Of thousands of shells
The trenches are few hundred
yards from the village. behind a cur
tain Of fire. Through this curtain our
boys in gray must pass. There are
no communicating passages. the French
artillery on the heights Of Loretto
does not permit them. Tho trenches
can only be reached over the open feld
through the unceasing hail OF French
shells.
But our men are fearless. The fact
that many of them may not live to SEQ
the next morning has no tcrrors for
them, and does not even rob them OF
their good humor. They arc all as
pealed the skin from their noses and
ears.
Sergeant Keeps Immaculate.
Their uniforms We're all held-gra at
one time. but nobody is able TO dis
tinguish their color now Only the first
sergeant looks az IL he just came from

less. and his hands are carefully mani
cured. With the long nails OF his lit
tie finger he traces tho position on
the map. Before the war he was a
high school professor, but now he is
n soldier every inch OF him.
This Is our trench" he said. ex-
planning the map to mo. over there
