cAsH cAMPAIaN no CONE.

Those in charge of the Red Cross
Movement in Mahaska County say the
campaign thus far has been waged for
memberships only,-and that the work
has just been begun. A campaign for
cash will follow the membership
drive. If $100,000,000 are raised for the
cause in the United States every man,
woman and child must contribute
800 on the average. This means
about $4,000 from Mahaska County.
These are times of prodigious sac
rifices. America must give of herself
as England and France have already
given. So long as anywhere the voice
of suffering and distress is heard we
must give and give, not $1OO,OOO,OOO
but millions and millions more.

THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL

Ever hear of the play of Hamlet,
with Hamlet out of town at the time?
Well that is the condition of the new
High school in Oskaloosa. Money has
been provided for everything except
the heating apparatus and furnace
room and the work of building is now
being pushed. Unless the money for
heating is provided we will have a
fine new school this fall but it will be
absolutely useless after the first OF
October.
This is the reason why new pc
tition is being circulated to call an
election to vote on the instance OF
s45. 900 in bonds. This is the amount
necessary to provide the heating ap'
paratus An election has already been
held on the proposition and it was
turned down. The adverse vote was
undoubtedly due to misunderstand'
ing. There should be no misunder'
standing this time. The school author
tiles should give the matter plenty OF
publicity, so the people will not have
TO grope around in the dark.

for Wilson's way with Mexico at Vera
Cruz. He ran that recruiting meeting
just as it were a weekly gathering of
the Epworth League to consider wheth'
er chewing gum should be listed as a
narcotic or an intoxicant.
The first of three wasteful, unneces-
sary addresses was made by Chicago
politician of the No. type. He gave
not one reason why anybody should
enlist: he preached fear, terror, cow
ardice. His point was that, as an un.
prepared nation, We had been handed
a dirty deal by Germany-that nation
he said, was lacking in respect for our
readiness and ought to be reproved
He talked-O, for hours, it seemed
like movie actor: you know what
mean-like a movie actor would talk
| if God had made him articulate. Al
least 400 of the potential thousand
walked out.
The second speaker was worse. He
too, was one of the No. grade. The
audience knew him-knew him, first
as the hero of a cafe shooting match
and next, as kicked out office holder
when an efficient administration tool
! hold of the state. Another 400 looked
for the This Way to the Exit signs.
This took time. There had not, sc
far, been a single appeal to reason

ing enemy destinations. Our mineral
resources. including coal, copper, oil,
ETC., are likely to come under similar
limitations; the present high prices
and the difficulty of securing supplies
materially stimulating the movement
in this direction. The efforts to check
speculation in food products and 9th
er necessities of life are sure to be
expanded. Where these movements
will end. no one can predict. Probably
they will go on until all important in
dustries have been nationalized or
modified for common defense during
the war. Back of this remarkable
movement is the patriotic recognition
of the imperative necessity of CO
operation on a nationwide scale by
both capital and labor alike, while the
Governments recognizes the need of
regulating prices and supplies in order
to keep down waste and prevent in
furious speculation. The economic con
doubtless prove highly important
They will certainly check, II not en-
tirely stop, inordinate profits, which
have been the basis of public disap'
proval and excessive imitation. But
such regulation must be accepted as
purely war measures, and when the
struggle is over, return to more nor
NAL conditions can be anticipated
Nevertheless, some highly valuable
lessons will have been learned in the
direction of efficiency, of limiting
waste, of close cooperation and OF
better relations between capital and
labor.

Chief among the cases tried before
Judge X. E. Willcockson in a special

WARS NEW CONDITIONS.

There is one factor in business, the
importance of which has not yet been
thoroughly appreciated; that is, the
great extent to which industry has
come under Government control since
our entry into the war. Nearly all of
our great Industries are now under
Government control. This does not
mean that the Government has as
sumed complete control, except in a
very few instances, but it does mean
that the nations requirements are
paramount to all others. and that the
leading industries must conform to
conditions deemed necessary, not on
ly for public good, but also for the
assistance of our Allies in their con.
duct of the war. The steel industry
with its innumerable subdivisions is
the most conspicuous example. as
would be expected. Our textile indus
tries are also largely under Govern
ment regulation. So too, are our ship
ping and railroad systems. The fool
supplies of the United States are to be
brought under practically single con-
troll with view of conserving their
use and a liberal portion for the Allies,
who will be much more dependent
upon this country for food than ever
before in their history. The export
trade Is soon to be brought under con-
troll. not merely for the conservation
and better utilization Of supplies. but
also to assist the Allies in their ef-
forts to prevent American food reach

WHERE oSKALoosA BOYS OF
BATTERY 3 WILL CAMP.

Battery b of the Iowa National
Guard in which are enrolled two Os-
kaloosa boys, Guy Bacon and Lester
Miller, has been called to Fort Logan
II. Roots, Arkansas. Allen j. Rodgers
who is in the Officers Training Camp
at Fort Roots has thus described the
place in letters to home folks:
1.-The Camp is located on a bluff a
few hundred feet above the Arkansas
river, across the river from Little
Rock, which is about four miles, by
road AS the road winds much to
climb the bluff, we are probably only
two miles in a straight line from the
town. The view from the south end
of the reservation is beautiful. The
student companies are all located in
new wood barracks each company hav-
ing two tarracks, a bath house, mess
house and a latrene. There are ten
companies of infantry, two troops OF
cavalry and three batteries of artil-
lery here at present. | never met a
finer bunch of men than are assem-
bled here. Many of them are men
past thirty years of age-men of edu-
cation and refinement. The officers
are gentlemen and treat us as such.
Captain Mccoy of our company is a
graduate of Cornell University, has
had military experience in Hawaii,
the Philippines and Mexico, has been
instructor in the army school at
Leavenworth as we'll as having had
charge of military tactics at the Uni
versity of Wisconsin He seems to-
have unlimited knowledge and exper.
fence and is fine type of man.
Little Rock has been chosen for our
cantonment sites where $4,000 con-
scripted men are Co be sent The site
is about seven miles from Little
Rock and four from Fort Roots. The
city will put in railway and street
car line to the cantonment. The Little
Rock people have shown every kind
ness and courtesy to us. opening their
Y. M. c. A. to all, their various lodge
buildings and even their homes.
The weather has been good. 1t is
warm in the middle of the day but
cools offsin the evening and one needs
blankets at night. The food is always
good, there is plenty of variety and We
get all we want. We get plenty OF
fresh fruit and vegetables.
The work is getting harder each day
and the discipline stricter. They are
us every minute both in
camp and in town and any breach OF
discipline or military etiquette Is
recorded against us. I have not been
skinned (demented) yet. ! attended

Fredrick Palmer, writing in Col

happenings any more and that he may

rusalem conducted by the Kansas Ma
tional Guard. There are some fascinat-
ing speculative possibilities in the

aoEE TO TOWN -

big, fat farmer, downward glides'
In his high speed whizz-about
Front and rear and all the sides
piled with makin's of the govt.
Someday he may carry more,
But we doubt If such can be,
For in whizzing past our door
Here's just part of what we see
Forward on the motor hood,
Flies a pair of gleeming flags,
over heaps of something good
Crammed in half a dozen bags.
Butter-tubs and cans of cream
Decorate the running board
Vastly more than it would seem
All the town folks could afford.
High and low and all around
Even on the farmers chin
Eggs, and eggs, and eggs abound;
Hen-fruit going for a spin.
Garden truck is piled on top
Corn and cabbages and beans
Looks as though he better stop
From the way his cargo leans.
Farmers wife sits in the rear
Amply fed and well and stout;
Kids are grinning ear to ear
Just their heads are poking out.
Wonder what that fat boy weighs!
Goodness gracious! see them go!
Not much like the olden days
Fifty miles an hour or so.
What's that swinging on behind!
Chicken coop-a full one too.
Yellow legs! All! That's the kind.
Hear that cock-a-doodle doc?
That's the toll collectors voice.
OF this commissary thing
Even ROSTERS may rejoice
At the wealth such cargoes bring.
