An Army Does Not
Increase the Population

An Army Does Not
Increase the Population
With the magnanimity which marks
all trust, the beef barons have risen
patriotically to declare that even
though they will be called upon for
of tons of meat and provi-
sions for the army, the prices to the
civilian consumers will not be raised,
or at least every effort will be made
to avoid it. These same barons are
fond of quoting the laws of supply
and demand as determining the price
of their product. If that much abused
law still holds good there is no reason
why the idea Of possibly raising
prices should ever have entered their
heads, as modifying an army does not
add to the country's population but
only distributes it in different centers.

allowed to return to his country, but

James Johnson, proprietor of res
taurant at Holbrook, shot and killed
his wife instantly and attempted to
kill himself by shooting himself in
the head. The bullet glanced off MAX
ing only a slight wound; he then
swallowed carbolic acid and died in a
short time. Their little 10 year old
girl was with them at the time of the
tragedy, which occurred on the Tay-
lor-Pinedale road short distance
from Taylor. Johnson sent his little
girl to Taylor to advise the authori-
ties after shooting his wife, than took
the carbolic acid. 1t was thought he
had contemplated the deed for some
time, owing to dependency over bust

Official Fly Catcher.

Waterloo Times Tribune: How
would you like to be an official fly
catcher? There isn't much hope fol
you, though, because Redlands, Cal.
is the only city in the country that
has established such an Office, and
A. E. Chapman holds that Office fol
$40 a week.
1t all started through the inven.
ton, by Mr.. Chapman, of very sue.
cessful fly trap. Redlands knew 9
good thing when 1t saw it and
promptly created the Office and be.
slowed it on the man who could
make those traps.
The traps are placed on all street
corners, near restaurant and store!
and livery stables. The bait used Il
fresh fruit syrup, sugared water
fresh fruits and other delicacie'
tempting to the fly. The flies crowt
into the traps with unceremoni0u!
haste-and their carcasses are re
moved the next day.
In one year 14,7O0,0OO flies me-
their well-deserved death in thes'
traps. At that rate Redlands won
have to spend much energy swattinl

rifice was the "dilution of labor or
placing unskilled workers on par
with the skilled-both men and
women. The bars of unionism have
been let completely down in the
name of patriotism. The Unions
agreement with the government pro-
vides: 81 VIZ!
"Co-operative efforts to increase
production by the adoption of oil ex-
pedients which tend to increase and
maintain output; interchangeability
inside the trade of various classes
who are members of the trade; sus-
pension for the period of the war OF
all internal lines of demarkation, and
introduction from allied and other
trades of skilled men, unskilled men
and women"
This is organized labor's reply to
the charge of lack of patriotism. The
unions are still passing resolutions
against the principle and applica-
ton of CONSUMPTION against the
other because they still think it un-
necessary. But there have been AMI
will be no draft riots in England as
there were in New York during the
Civil War.
So much for Ben Tillett and his
friends. How about Ireland?
Most of the Irish opposition in the
war is of American origin. There arel
no finer patriots in Great Britain to-l
day than John Redmond and Sir Ed
ward Carson, each representing ex-|
IRENE poles of Irish politics. The
Sim Fein rebellion, organized by
Ewell-meaning but misguided ideal
lists, encouraged by self-expatriated
Irishmen in America, financed by
Germany, was not an expression of
Irish national sentiment. No troops
in the whole Empire have fought
more CALAMITY or suffered greater
losses than the Irish regiments. The
Obstetrics have proven their patric-
tism by conserving to the Inaugural
ton of Home Rule forthwith. The
Nationalist have demonstrated
theirs by agreeing to the exclusion
of Ulster from it's provisions. Patrio-
tism alone is solving the Irish ques-
ton. Altogether Great Britain is
showing more firmly united front
today than when the war started.

MORE AFRAID OF BUGS
THAN or BULLETS
Soldiers at Brownsville are Having
a Strenuous Time With the
Native inhabitants.

Brownsville, Aug, Tt is not
MeXicans that the Iowa artillerymen
fear, it is Mexican animal life. Camp
had hardly been pitched by battery
A upon arrival here than a big
black spider was found in the sixth
section tent 1t was promptly killed
and exhibited about camp as a tar
Nantula.
Centipedes, scorpions, horn toads
and weird assortment of other
crawling and creeping things were
discovered in turn, or at least there
were reports that they had been
found. AS result about two-thirds
of the artillerymen declared they We're
not going to bed that night. 1t was
only the extreme WEAKNESS result
ing from the afternoons work in
pitching camp that forced them to
drop off to sleep, willynilly.
The nervousness of the men was
communicated to the men of bat
teries B and G upon their arrival the
next day, and many of the Daven-
port and Muscatine men spent the
night on top of the piles of forage
and supplies. A few even slept in
trees. Despite the fact that no one
has yet felt the sting, of a venomous
insect, the apprehension is not all
gone.
Fear of crawling things cannot
prevent sleep in this camp. The
work of getting settled into semi
permanent camp is too strenuous.
The men are worked in double shifts
in the hot sun digging drainage
trenches, clearing up the camp
grounds, erecting kitchens and bath
houses and moving stores and sup
plies into tents. 1t is hard work,
but the men appear to thrive on it,
as there are few to sick report and
but one in the hospital. He is suf-
fering from tonsilitis.
1t was thought the Iowa batteries
would lose their individuality on ar
irving here where, it was thought,
there would be a dozen other artil-
lery organizations. Iowa, however,
is the only state represented in
Brownsville with artillery. Other
national guard artillery units are
stationed in smaller towns along the
border The Iowans are campeG
alongside a regular battery of Al
inch howitzers and the members of
the two organizations are already
great chuns.
The size of the Iowa national
guard has greatly impressed the
Texans, and the local papers COM
ment on it every time more Iowa
troops arrive.
On the other side of the Iowa ar
tillery are camped regiments of Vir-
ginia infantry. They are very cor
dial, and friendships have sprung
up between the men from the two
states.

ing in every breath of the tOrrid
and dust-laden atmosphere, it is al
most a crime to take the babies out
on trip on a railroad train to wis
it gran'ma,'' or "aunty," or some
other relative and take vacation"
Vacation be hanged! The place to
spend a vacation with small child
in weather like we have had for a
month past, is in the home and not
in horribly hot and dirty rail-
road trains and stations fairly
reeking and screaming with dirt and
filth and disease germs. Look at the
drinking water that a child has to
drink on one of those trips! 1t is
either so warm as to be unpalatable
and sickening or it is cooled with
ice from God knows where and 1t
must be taken from tanks and fauc-
cts where ladies, gentlemen, buns,
tramps, niggers, gypsies, diseased
people and other human cattle slop
all over and all around-and your
baby must drink it or go without
water Keep the children at home
until it gets cooler. Do not jeopar
dize their health and their very lives
by traipsing off on a "visit" with the
mercury standing at 100 in the
shade. Do not make your visit a
visitation on your relatives or
friends by taking babies into their
homes in such weather as this. Have
little sense and do not allow your
self to go crazy with the heat like
the Internal fools of women who fill
every train to the guard rails Of the
platforms of the cars on the hottest
days they can pick out Of all the

near the ice box and close to the

What Town Folks Miss.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: There is
much that is very pleasant about
town life. There are comforts and
conveniences galore. But one al
ways pays for comfort and convent
ences. After all, the man in town
sees day after day. week after week,
year after year, the same buildings,
the same. streets. the same signs, the
same people. To be sure, an old
building disappears here and there,
and a new one takes its place, but
soon it becomes part of the whole
picture, and after all it is ever tho
same old picture. To be sure, now
we'll, lies him down to we'll earned
rest, and in little while some 9TH
er person has taken the place and
there seem to be ever the same peo-
pie, the same familiar faces. 1t is
we'll that many of us are so consti-
tuted that we love the old houses,
the old vista, the old faces, even the
old furniture, and that we would not
have anything changed, that is not
as long as that picture practically
belongs to us, and those faces are all
of those whom we like to call our
friends. If that were not the case,
there would be an everlasting NOV
ing. 1t might not be the wanderlust
exactly, but we should be driven
away because the old view, the old
streets, the unchanging houses, the
same old gallery of faces had palled
upon us and we should grow weary
of life because of the desire for a
change. There would be aGsconstant
going to and fro, and nowhere would
there be permanent abiding place
for us, because the new vista of to-
day would have grown old soon and
would then have become stale and
distasteful.
How different, how blessed indeed
is the dweller in the country. He
has no old view to stare him in the
face, no countless specimens of bad
architecture. The city man rarely
sees sunrise or sunset, and he
who lives out on the land enjoys the
rising and the setting of the sun ev-
cry day of his life, and it is always
beautiful and it is never the same.
At night the city folks throng their
white way for while, until they
grow unspeakably weary of that.
They have no conception of the
beauty of the night sky, which is
ever spread to view in the country,
and which in its endless variety is a.
source of unceasing joy to the be-
holder. He will marvel at the stars
when little child, and through all
his days he will find them the source
of undiminished Joy and wonder. The
men in the city, some Of them at
least, weary of the city, for after all
it is small and imperfect and man
made, but the man in the country
has the great privilege of feasting
his eyes and his soul upon the Won
ders of nature, and SO he be inclined
to do SO they form for him the book
of which he never tires, Your city
dweller may grow Infinitely weary of
the same old streets, the same old
buildings, the same old faces, and
the same old phrases, but to the
dweller in the open it would seem a
sacrilege to speak of the same old
sun and the same old stars-for they
are ever new, an ever opening reve
lation to him.
