conditions which at present exist,
were not brought on by those who
wish to be glad and rejoice. The Red
Cross movement is held over the heads
of every woman who wishes to give
an afternoon tea, till she has to enter
tain her friends clandestinely, if you
please, and as to mentioning the re-
freshments and decorations, it's as
much as your life is worth to speak OF
anything more elaborate than weiners
and crackers and dandelions. We can
not all offer ourselves to the Germans
to be shot down, and not yet do we
need to be SISTER Susies sewing socks
for soldiers" so why not be as happy
as we can today while We have our
sons, our husbands, our sweethearts
and our lives. and if the great war
comes (Which may never come after
alD we can look back on the days Of
the golden past when all of these
things were ours to enjoy. Life at
best is full of shadows and sunshine,

The U. S. of America is certainly
making giant strides along the lines
of preparedness. Before anything else
has been done the administration has
borrowed or striven to borrow money
from every citizen and has loaned its
resources to European nations. 1t is
asking a Red Cross fund of more than
a hundred r,illion from the west $751;
600 of which is demanded from Delta
county. All of this runs up into big
money and big money usually smells
of big business. War, of course, calls
for all of nations resources, and
that is but a part of the hell of war
With it all. Secretary McAdoo has just
written letter to the press thanking
the newspapers of the country for
their aid, in which he says: without
the aid of the newspapers of the coun-
try the recent bond issue could never
have been subscribed" The next
drive, the secretary says, will be for

Josephus Daniels takes the position
that the man who wrote to Senator

complaints to the secretary of the
navy And fat chance he would have
stood The subordinate who ventures
to criticise this administration is not
received with open arms; he is usher

The power to seide all liquors for
war purposes may have much signifi-
canoe. For instance, should this coun-
try be able to turn over the sort OF
stuff the vets have been handing the
drys, to the German army and be able
to persuade the German soldiers TO
drink it, the war wouldn't last but a
very short time, for the stuff would be
more deadly than their own poisonous
gases. Used in this way the amount
of booze seized would easily extermin-
ate the entire German army.
