THE DINNER PAIL.

oh, yess the dinner pail is full
In some parts of the land,
Where men are working day and night
To aid wars bloody hand;
But when the war is over, boys,
If Free-Trade doth prevail, Id
Twill kick the bottom right out of
The toiler's dinner pail.
The foreign mills are all shut down
And foreign workshops, too;
So, consequently, here at home
There's lots of work to do.
But when the war is over, boys,
Protection must prevail,
Or there won't be bit of grub
For any dinner pail
They're busy now in powder plants
And men are working fast,
tbs false prosperity, you, know,
and will not, cannot last.
For when the war is over, boys, &
You'll hit the r1o-work trail;
Unless we4have Protection we
Will need no dinner pail.

GOOD ROADS IN PHOTOGRAPHS
National Highway Association Offers
$500 in Prizes.

Washington April ia nation.
wide Photographic contest in the inter
est of Good Roads Everywhere"
movement, with cash prizes of $4,000
open to everybody, has been announ-
ced at the National Highways Associa-
tion headquarters.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the
two well-known writer's, Miss Ida Tar.
bell and Mr.. Mark Sullivan, will serve
as Judges in the contest.
The photographs selected in the
competition will be used to establish in
Washington national exhibit on the
good roads problem designed primarily
to promote nationally conceived
scheme of highways.
In connection with the pending legis
lation in Congress to have the federal
government shoulder part Of the task
of good roads" construction, the Ma
tional Highways Association, 1t is ex
planned, desires to have adopted plan
for system Of national highways, sur
veyed and located by expert engineers
so that federal funds will not be spent
in a hit or miss pork barrel" fashion
but in accordance with a scientific plar
as any railroad is built or as the Gov
eminent itself did in the case Of the

far better attendance of pupils, and
for that reason can offer them better
educational opportunities than a
country school in a district OF bad
roads
Consequently it would be of great
value in our contest to have photo
graphs giving a picture lesson to the
eyes of our law makers of what 1t
means to children in our rural dis
tricts to have their school house locat'
ed on good roads This is only one
idea that has come to me. There are
hundreds of such lessons on the value
of good roads which can be taught by
photographs.
Perhaps the best way to do this is
through photographs contrasting good
and bad road conditions. We will ar.
range our exhibit to do that, but in or.
der to allow individual competitors to
take advantage of some such striking
contrast as may have come to their at
tention, the Association has not limit
ed competitors to one photograph, OF
TO one prize. Each competitor can
send in as many photographs as he
wishes, and he will get as many prizes
as his work deserves.
Photographs will be judged first up
on their merit In strikingly emphaslz
ing road conditions good or bad)
second in their pictorial interest, and
third in their Photographic excellence.

BOATS FACE
COAL LACK
May Not be Possible to Run Packets
More Than Three Days If There
is a Strike.

According to the statement of one
| Of the officials of the White Collar
steamboat pacxet line, the company
boats will have to cease operations
within three days if the railroad
strike goes into effect, according to
! the Fort Madison Democrat. This
means that the freight source which
promised to keep the river cities from
famines and troubles that may come
to cities not on navigable rivers Is to
be lost, and the river towns will be
in no better shape than the interior
towns.
The statement was explained by the
fact that the packet line has no sup
ply of coal on hand, getting its fuel
direct from the coal mines as the
needs require, or a car load at time.
he cars are shipped to Keokuk and
Quincy where the deck hands take on
enough for round trips. The company
has no emergency supply and esti-
mates that the coal on hand at the
two points, and securable from other
sources along the route will not run
them over three days at the most.
Yesterday morning at Keokuk the
steamer Keokuk experienced the diff
culties which Will trouble the rail
roads II the strike is called. The boat
carries a deckhanj force Of about ten
men, and usually the work of loading
and unloading freight and taking on
coal at Keokuk occupies only few
hours in the evening. Wednesday
night the boat carried an unusually
large cargo of freight, which kept the
hands until 100 a. m. yesterday
handling. With the men tired from
their extra work, the sight of the coal
piles which were yet to be transferred
to the boat and the empty bunkers
aboard was too much for the hands
and they walked out and stayed out.
There being no other help available
the skipper and the mate cast on
their official regalia and shoveled coal.
They were still shoveling at the time
of the boats departure, 500 a. m.
Enough coal was aboard to run the
boat to Burlington and back, so the
steamer departed at the regular hour.
The two officials, sleepless and weary.
turned freight hustlers and handled
the boats cargo on its trip. One 10y
al hand had remained, and with him
the engineer. fireman and cabin boy
we're pressed into service for the trip
up. At Burlington force Of green
hands had been gathered and are now
|aboard the boat.
