THE SOLDIERS
(Issued by the War Department and all

XIV

Never forget that it is not only re-
quired of a-soldier as a duty, but is
also his right and privilege, to salute
all commissioned officers and to have
his courtesy returned. This statement
assumes, of course, that one is in good
standing as a soldier. A military pris-
oner is not permitted to salute.
1t is the custom of the army in
speaking to an officer to stand at at
tention and use the word sir" In all
official conversation refer to other
soldiers by their titles-for example,
Sergeant Spith" or Private Brown"
not merely Smith" or Brown"
When an officer enters a room.
where there are several enlisted men.
the word attention is given by some
one who perceives him, when all rise,
uncover. and remain standing at atten-
ton until the officer leaves the room
or directs otherwise. Enlisted men at
meals stop eating and remain seated
at attention"
Salutes are exchanged among
non-commissioned officers and enlist
ed men. However. this does not mean
that you are not to treat them with re-
spect and courtesy. In a general way
show them the same consideration
that you would show to men in cor
responding positions in civil life.
Tomorrow: Discipline Army Life.

Tommy Jay Gives Bad Advice.

Tommy Jay Gives BAD A0Vlce.
To be sure, Toppy should have re-
membered that Tommy Jay loved to
tease; he should have watched for
that tell-tale twinkle in Tommy's
eye. But Toppy was SO excited think
ing that he was making discovery
of a new bird that he wasn't remem-
bering or noticing anything! No won
der Tommy found him easy to tease.
What did the bird look like?"
asked Tommy Jay eagerly.
He was brown" said Toppy,
drown with a red spot and wings of
golden brown-a most handsome EEL
low, I'm sure you'd remember if you
had ever seen him.
"Goldy Flicker, of course" said
Tommy Jay to himself, IF that stupid
little rabbit wasn't always so busy
with his own affairs he would have
seen him long ago." And then out
loud he said, wings of golden brown
let's see who could that be? You
surely are a discoverer, Toppy." And
that made Toppy feel all puffed up
and important as Tommy had known
it would.
Tommy Jay looked wise and
thoughtful and Toppy watched him to
see what he was going to do and say
next
Finally he cooked his head to one
side, looked Toppy over and then said,
Il think you have made a great dis
covery. Toppy, and you'd better get
some one to go with you back to that
bird and see and decide who it is
some one whose word is law in the
woods SO that you will always be
known as the discoverer and nobody
will dare ask a question"
Tommy said it all SO Importantly
that To ply began to feel shaky even
hafnra fpi
he to be known as discoverer! Isn't
that just what everybody most wants
to be? And to think he, a little rab-
bit. had discovered something! WASH
it just too fine for words! He was so
excited and happy that he paid little
attention to what Tommy Jay said
after that. You know yourself that
when you are very happy or excited
you don't listen as carefully as you
might, do you?

A NEW POLITICAL ISSUE.

Many new political situations and
alignments are promised as a result of
our entry into the world war.
The Partisan league is seeking
to extend its field of operations; and it
especially is looking to an enlarge
ment of it's political power in the agri-
cultural states of the middle west. Its
battle-cry being a higher price for
wheat, it is plain to see that whatever
power the league gains will be at the
cost of developing a class feeling thru
out the country which will disastrous
ly react upon the leagues promoters.
The most pressing demand of the
country is not for the CONSUMPTION of
wealth nor for a relaxation of the
draft law. but for a reduction in the
price of the necessaries of life. Coal
copper, iron and steel have come. thru
the voluntary agreement of their pro-
ducers. under a governmentally fixed
price. Wheat, also. has been "pegged'
at $2.2o a bushel
If the farmer is planning to COM
bine with his fellows and to use his
political power to secure a higher
price. he cannot complain if the wage
earners in the coal, iron, steel and cop
per industries combine to use their
political power for lower prices.
