Mr.. Editor, did you or your wife ever

of teachers pensions. Any person that

ADA!tY OUNCE OF PATRIOTISM.

Germany Is falling. Austria is sick
70 death Of war. But the drives against
the front have not brought this cond!-
ton about. What has? Starvation.
An army OF soldiers and workers may
have food Of a kind and 1--we, but it
can not fight or work as soldiers and
worknen should unless II has certain
foods. Remember the experiment told
IN the old school physiology text books
Of the dog fed on sugar?
Findenburg warned the German gov
eminent some time ago that unless the
armies and the workmen who are max
.I!g ammunition Co.,: -: mare meats
and fats, trouble was ahead They
would be too weak 10 work well or
to fight WELL
We have enough fats and meat and
wheat to feed ourselves all we want
and moro than we need-and no more.
But we must do more. We must divide
our fats and meats with the armies
portant that the fighting men and the
workers of the allies shall be kept in
shape TO produce and to fight as that
our own men should be so kept More
so; for today We are not doing the
ighting, but getting ready to fight. In
the meantime, the armies of the allies
stand between us and disaster, and ara
doing our fighting. They have used
| their fats for ammunition and for food
in the three years Of desperate war
ware. We must supply them.

TINT wages should rise without limfe,
for nay envelopes buy less a. prices
rise with wages. Always strikes mus
tiply as wages rise. Seldom 10 there
trouble in the wage market wnsn
wages are falling. Labor unrest -
usually greatest when wages are high.
est. The recent strike record Is die.
turbing both in patriotic and econo-
mic aspects. Wages now are PAID
largely out Of borrowed billions which
Cypress all taxpayers. The Washington
price fixers are bound to consider the
taxpayers as well as consumers
OF coal. No price can be fixed unless
wages are fixed. Sooner or later the
question must be faced.
The fuel administrator shows COM
mcndable stability In a troublesome
situation. He denies that there is any
rea! shortage of supply The present
complaints are attributed not to lack
of coal but to orders Of distribution
designed to relieve the railways by
using waterways while navigation Is
open. When frost comes the coal sent
t. the north will be distributed in the
districts now impeded In filling their
bins. In free markets such questions
OF priority are settled by the price.
Now they are settled by edict In
trade not represented in the price-f1x-
ing process The coal trade Is deliber-
ately excluded from the coal regula-
ton in order that there may be no sus-
picion of selfish influence. 1t would
seem that two dangers are risked. Ono
Is the lack Of experience in produc-
ton and distribution. The other ie
favoritism in distribution. When
higher price is offered than regulation
allows it is proof that some willing to
buy and pay will be disappointed. II
Is a serious responsibility to say which
cities or sections can be supplied ana
which must not defend themselves
against the threats Of winter. There
Is talk OF national coal pile, for the
especial benefit Of those least able to
protect themselves In an extortionate
market There is in this a hint that
those able to outbid the poor may not
be so well supplied as the poor. The
fuel administrator is not primarily to
blame. He Is doing his best. The
root OF the trouble is that those who
have fostered the belief that the coal
operators were robbing the public are
now unable to control the miners in
their intention to have part OF the
swag by fair means or foul. The Of
fensive idea and the offensive words
were plainly used In the debate be-
tween the miners and the operators.-S'i

Billy Bunny and His Friends

/ Let's make call on the photogra-

take our pictures" said Billy Bunny.
Well. after quite a way. but not SO
very long. they came to the photo gal
lery kept by tn. big long-legEed crane.
and he was the best photographer in
all Rabbittville. for his legs were so
long that he could look thru the cam
era without standing ON a stool.
Tn delighted to see YOU" said the
crane. but can't take your pictures
for nothing, Tor nowadays everything

and placed the black cloth over his
head and then he winked thru the
camera at Uncle Lucky and
this made the old gentleman rabbit
smile and that made the crane
angry. and he said: Don't smile:
don't move; don't speak," and lot
more other don's, until Uncle Lucky
stopped smiling. And then he looked

pleasant, If you please. Smile

"Oh, pshaw!" exclaimed the old gem

and he started up the Luckymobile and
drove away, and for all l know thai

thru the camlra trying to find Uncle
Lucky and his little rabbit nephew.

KILLING Blue Devils.

While the "blues" might be classed
with disease, they really deserve cor
ner all their own. II you are ever tor
mented by the blue devils, drop every
thing. II possible. and walk, walk,
walk. Observe the people and things
that you pass, and you will return in
such q cheerful frame Of mind that
you1l wonder how you could have felt
otherwise. One woman conhded to
me that II she ever has q troublesome
problem to solve she does not think
Of 1t while doing her duties, but waits
until she can walk in the open air.
The exercise. and the fresh air assist
her to come to q quick and usually
wise decision.

The annual income OF all the peo-
20 De forty billions. The congress has
already appropriated ten billions for
this war ard the departments have
laid plans which Will increase that eX-
pzEditure to twenty billions before our
armies can win battles in France That
means that every man IN this country
must devote half OF his entire inco.n e
to the war, either in taxes or bonds. II
Is time the people were saving il they
would survive.
In the Spanish American war the
government Issued 3 per cent bonds
which Went TO 1I2 on the New York

was a profit OF 1 per cent per annum
plus interest Of 3 per cent, or per
cent net return for three years. What

When a young man leaves a JOB at
800 per month and enters the army at
$50 per month and his keep he sacri-
fees one third OF his income. The
new war tax bill has conscr.pted in
war taxes one half of all incomes Of
million dollars or over but the rest Of
US are merely asked to buy bonds.
The secretary of the treasury
estimates that We must invest half OF
our entire income in Liberty bonds
within a year in order to finance this
war. That should be the measure OF
every mans patriotic investment.
Those who have savings available for
larger investment must take moro than
their income In government bonds in
order to make up for the millions Of
poor who are too close to the bread
line to invest in anything but large
families.

please don't go so fast" said Mrs.
Cow, who you remember was riding
on the back seat of Uncle Lucky's
automobile in the las, story. So the
kind old gentleman rabbit went slow
or, for he knew Mrs. Cow was nervous
like lots OF ladies are when they ride
for the last time in an automobile.
Maybe I should have said the first"
time. but they don't think so when
the automobile Is going million and
4 half miles Al hour, and Uncle Lucky
was so proud OF his Luckymooile, you
know. that he was making it go just
as fast as he could.
Well. pretty soon, not so very long.
they came TO the Old Farm where Mrs.
Cow got out, and after she had fixed
her bonnet on straight. for II was all
crooked. you know, she thanked Mr..
Lucky Lefthindfoot for the lovely ride
he had given her!
oh, don't mention it," said the
kindhearted old gentleman rabbit. Tn
sorry I went SO fast, but I wanted to
show you that the Luckymobile Is the
fastest car on earth" And then he took
of his old wedding stovepfpe hat. I
mean, he tried to take it off, but he
couldn't, for 1t was tied on, you re-
member, with his blue silk polkadot
handkerchief.
And then. after that, Billy Bunny
steered, for Uncle Lucky wanted to
wipe his eyes with the handkerchief
and. Of course, he had to unite 1t first,
you know.
Now where are we going?" inquired
the old gentleman rabbit and he put
his handkerchief into his pocket and
pushed his hat down tight over his left

Services at st. Francis Church.

There will be services in the new
Catholic church of Walhalla on Sun
day, May 27th, at II o'clock a. m.
Hereafter there will be services
every fourth Sunday Of each month
at the same hour.
The little church is named St.
Francis in honor of the wonderful St.
Francis of Assist, who lived in the
18th century. His life was most
inspiring and edifying one, and Cath
olics are supposed to study and imi-
tate it, in some measure at least. He
lived in that century, by the way,
which is considered by many to have
been the greatest century Of the
worlds history-another reason for
studying the life Of st. Francis.
NonCathOlics are always cordially
welcome to any of the services OF this
or any other Catholic church. I will
conduct the service and preach next
Sunday. (Rev.) A. X. Gwynn.
