down the house.
Irof. j. w. Curtis is great lover
OIL brown bread and Mrs. Curtis rather
put up Joke on him by catering to his
weakness and then giving it to the
public in rhymes. Her poetry follows:
now to make my dollar | thought of
every kind of work,
Tor an TINS occasion it simply wouldn I
do to shirk
Then decided to make bread that was
And sell it to the ladies all over town
But you can't imagine with an awful
time
had to make these few nickles and a
dime.
The first day baked my husband $ an.
petite was fine,

And he ate and he ate till he ate it all
up.
Inc next day, maybe it WASH t accord.

But L baked my bread while he was at
school
Then, for me, it all came out verv well
And | had bread a-plenty to sell.
but In all this work there WASH I much
So ! though my dollar was richly won.
Mrs Earl Kirkham decided that
honest confession was good for the
soul' and earned her dollar in the fol
lowing manner:
washed the windows for Tom Frizzell
1T was wet and muddy-and cold as
we'll,
The dirt was thick but the water was
hot,
And this old iron dollar was all | got.
But when Mrs. May Hill reeited her
rhyme it was so unexpected and so
original it certainly called forth storm
of applause.
TO tell how they made their dollars,
The Ladies of the Aid composed a
rhyme,
But, it happens / don t belong to the
Aid,
So, its none of your business how /

Technical Superiority and the Spirit

L superiority is the decisive element i'll
modern warfare cannot be disputed. All
other things being equal. the better equipped
troops Will win. God is on the side of the
heaviest artillery" irreverently but succinctly
expresses the thought. And the wonderful
efficiency OF the German war machine has
demonstrated again and again the power OF
applied technic, acquired by years OF scieu-
tihc preparation.
Blu, the weak spot in the general deduction
is this: all other things are never equal.
They are not equal III this war Germany's
technical superiority unquestioned; her
rulers. her scientists. her universities had
trained a whole people until the deadlicst and
greatest fighting organization that the world
has ever known WAS perfected 10 the last point
that technc could polish. When this had
been attained Germany launched this vast
weapon against Belgium, small and little
considered state; against France deemed de
cadent and against England. absurdly inferior
in numbers and in tCchniC.
For time. mass and techuic were irresisti-
bic. Fortified cities were blown away and
utterly destroyed; defenscs were ublterated;
armies were wiped out OF existence The
mass rolled on, tcchnic smoothing away
every obstacle and oling the path Of its
progress with every device for the destruction
OF opposition and the conservation of its
safety that science skill and rigid instruc-
ton and ceaseless practice could supply
Things were not equal. and tcchnc
triumphed The first months Of the war
seemed about TO vindicatc forever the theory
that technical superiority was all-suhicient
