RED HEADS STRsNGE PEOPLE
last Of the Baal WorshiPers Engage in
TWO Occupations. Agriculture
and Theft.

The other day there was the report
that some of our soldiers ON the TIgris
had come across a village of Red
Heads, writes ]. G. Bristow Noble in
the London Globe. Strange people are
these Baal worshippers The men
wear red caps. hence their name Red
Heads. They also wear red knotted
cords around their necks. The cord
is put on during babyhood and is never
removed. 1t Is inferred with the body
after death. They shave their heads
except for a patch on the top, and
here they allow the hair 10 grow long
and plait It into pigtails. which hang
about their ears. They are tall, wiry
fellows, with enormous appetites for
both food and drink.
The women, who do not veil them
selves, and who dress simply in loose
fitting garments, are thin and spare,
but wonderfully strong. In their homes
they wear breeches as well as skirts.
There is no wife beating among the
Red Heads, but plenty of husband
beating. The husbands take their fire.

tiently. They employ themselves. both
the women and the men, in agriculture
and theft. They produce couple of
crops-tobacco and durra; the rest of
their time is given up to looting the
Turks crops and cattle. Their little
whitewashed, low-roofed dwellings
with small unglazed, but shattered,
windows are divided into three apart

sleeping room. A few earthenware
jars. about five feet in height and filled
with grain and dried fruits, are kept

The True Socialism.

Once in khaki it matters extremely
little what you We're in civilian life.
Among the group of thirty-odd ruffians
who compose the population of my hut
are an author, journalist, two actors,
a land agent. a schoolmaster. an agri-
cultural gentleman, diversified busi-
ness men. and striplings fresh from
school and university.
Each of us preserves his own in
dividuallty-off parade, and in civilian
life such a varlegated group would in
fallibly split up into little cliques and
cabals. As it is, we are informed with
an amiability and spirit of mutual
helpfulness which is, l imagine, the
true socialism, although so ideal a
brotherhood has never yet been
achieved by the political socialists who
have had opportunity to put their
theories into practice.-London Globe.

The Northwest
IS Prosperous.
Keep It So

For years the Northwest has
steadily been adding to it's pres
tige, to it's Importance in the
economic affairs of the nation
and to its advancement in pros

With the call of the nation
to arms, the great Northwest

Let us keep it so.
Let us all get together in vi

prosperity in store for the
Northwest, so that we shall be
even the better fortified to hep

our country and the success of
democracy the world over.
No False Saving
Let's put our foot on false
economy. Going shabby by
those of us who habitually dress
well and can afford it, is not
going to help make more guns
and ammunition. If everybody
who dresses well begins to wear
old clothes, he is helping to
throw thousands out of work, he
is helping to bring suffering up
on manufacturers and mer-
chants, upon factory hands and
store employees throughout the
country.
Don't put a stick in the fly
wheel of legitimate sure pros
; perity by injudicious economy.
Let's Keep Sane.
Let's have economy. But let's
: have it with sanity, with cool
judgment, with a vision that
shows us clearly what the effect
of this economy will be.
Let's not waste products
which are scarce and replaced
with difficulty.
Let's conserve our food sup
ply and grow more foodstuffs
than ever before.
Let's pronounce that man
traitor who hogs and boards

in some instances, already in

The Northwest is an enviable
position this very moment.

Maearoni Beans.

The ''macaroni beans" Of North Man
churia, peculiar product described
In a recent commerce report, are con-
sumed entirely by the Chinese farm
ers. The beans are of two kinds-a
red and yellow variety that is very
fioury and small green bean that Is
unusually glutinous-and for use the
two are mixed together, ground into
flour. and made into a paste, which is
forced through small holes into long
strings or noodles. These dry quickly
and keep well In any climate. They
are cooked In water, like macaroni or
vermicelli. and this method of using
gives the beans their trade name.

EngIand's Paper Asks
Justice for ireland

The Times and Opinion of Liver
pool, paper which certainly cannot
be accused of any disloyalty to the
English crown, doesn't hesitate to
speak out openly concerning the ter
rible blunders the English government
is making in it's treatment of the Irish
people. From week to week it thun-
ders out a warning to the officials in
power that their present murderous
policy must stop. In its latest issue
it has the following to say as part Of
an editorial nearly two columns i'll
length:
We shall win the war in any case!
True, but we could win it more easily
if justice at home were done to civil
ans and soldiers. And we could win
it still more easily if Justice were
done to Ireland. There again our
Government has let things slide. A
handful of titled men, of no account
except for their possession of titles,
were allowed to break up the settle
ment which would have made peace
between us and the Irish people. 1t
is always few men in this country

harm. Profteers, departmentalists.
Orchards, cur modern history is full
of their work. And we seem to have
no statesman who has the courage to
deal with them.
The one prominent figure in Parlia-
ment during the past two years is the
Prime Minister. But he has paved
his way with good intentions. He has
held the reins without venturing to
drive. A crack to the whip, and Ire
land would have had Home Rule and
the British army would have been re-
inforced by Ireland's gallant sons, but
the influences that hang over so much
of our public affairs forbade! Ire
land still claims and waits and
grieves. And England is the poorer
for the loss of Ireland's help. The
blunders of two whole years now lie
between the two nations, estranging
their people more and more.
Surely this matter of reconciling
Ireland cannot wait. Appeasement
must be no longer delayed. The
minority which has always hated, and
opposed Irelands claim for self-gov-
eminent must now at length see their
action is highly injurious to this coun-
try. If they are patriots, they will
wish to have this Irish question set
tied. And how can it be settled if
we refuse to consider the question
from Irelands point of view?
Had that point of view been con-
sidered as it should and must be, we
would have had with us all the energy
and loyal cooperation of the Irish
people during this war. But the Irish
people cannot forget the past two
years. Nor should we forget them.
They have been years of bungling and
bloodshed that reflect no credit on our
Government or on our country.
Can the laundering be repaired? 1t
needs merely an effort on the part of
Ministers. We're the Cabinet to pro-
claim that, for the safety of the EN-
pire, the Irish question must be set
tied, settled it would be, or the Brit
ish public would know the reason why.
Will the Cabinet have the states
manship, the courage, the common
sense to tell the people Of Great Brit
ain that the needs of our Empire
demand that Ireland be appeased? II
they will, they will have set their feet
on the path towards the speedy win
ming of the war.
