New York, Nov. 9.-The hen isn't

is putting on her autumn feathers

dentally she's waiting for pullets of
1915 to become regular hens and
when this day arrives she will start
right in again laying eggs with some
degree of regularity.

RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND
NEARING CRISIS

Washington, Nov 9.-England and
the U. S. are gradually closing toward
deadlock, with arbitration in offing,
over British trade interferences was
opinion of many officials today as
sentiment formed regarding this gov
ernment's note to England.
Future detention of American
ships or cargoes, it is now believed,
will develop controversy into con-
crete issue. From official sources it
was learned today that administra-
ton regards last note as final and I'M
alterable declaration of principles. 1t

COOPERATIVE STORES.

Cedar Rapids is to have a o-opera-
tive store. 1t is stated that this Will
be the first in the history Of the town.
but that may be misstatement
Many years ago. when the grange was
the big popular organization there were
cooperative stores everywhere in the
state The vast majority were man
aged by excellent men, who had little
or no knowledge Of merchandising.
and so while there was never hint
at any wrongdoing, these stores did
not prove success and in the course
of time again passed out Of existence.
Many other kinds Of cooperative en-
terprises were started in Iowa in later
years and of these some have been
very successful, others less so. The
Cedar Rapids store seems specially
to interest the farmers, who are sub
scribing literally to stock in the en-
terprise 1t is quite likely that there
was grange store in the city forty
years ago.

NOT BLAME But BUSINESS.

We haven't any right to call the
man a loafer who is obliged 10 sleep
on the floor of the jail or police sta
ton until we have given him chance
to work.-Tines- Republican.
Well, who gave the Times Repub-
ican chance to work? Who gave
the chance TO the many other mill
lions who have employment? Some
of them made the chance. In fact.
most of them did. However. some

selves out of work. but in a majority
OF cases the idler himself lacks some
thing-either ability, inclination OF
health. Society is not always TO
blarne.-Freeman- Tribune.
We can't get out of it that way. The
hole isn't big enough. Society is not
to blame for the man who has failed
10 make himself SO valuable that he
can get or hold a job during indus
trial depression or lack OF work. per-
haps the man himself is to blame. 1t
isn't really a question OF blame. The
man is here We have him. Leaving
all blame aside what are we to dc
with him?
He must live. He must work or bes
or steal. Which shall he do?
Now the man who is willing to work
ought TO be given that chance What
ever his previous desert or unworthi-
ness he ought to have that chance. Il
is reward or opportunity to reform as
1t happens.
1t isn't matter of blame Blame
never got anybody anywhere 1t is
a question of prevention, of protec'
ton to society. The man who is ready
to work should be able to find It. I,
necessary, it should be provided AND
the man who isn't willing to worl
should be forced to work
Let's forget the blame business ant
organize something of some kind t
meet the honest plea of the honest mar
and the evasion OF the idler no work.

But mid the roar and clicking, keep on

It's all there is TO answer
All the turmoil with IN life

AFTER CHRISTMAS WHAT?


We have naught save genuine ad-
miration and praise for the noble men
and women and children, too. who have
made this Christmas season one Of un-
usual joy, not only in this town, but in
war torn foreign parts. How they have
worked, how they have sacrificed, how
they have relieved the miserable and
brought cheer to millions. No grander
fleet ere sailed the seas than those
American Christmas ships. No sweet
er, no more elevating sentiment ever
holds the hearts of men than remem-
brance Of the poor babe OF Bethlehem's
manger which prompts them to be
fathers to the poor babes of their own
times.
But, after Christmas what? What of
all that Christmas effort to show sym
pathy and to help? Christmas comes
but once year. but hunger. cold and

Christmas effort to finding or making
