IT'S DRY IN IOWA.

The Hawkeye Boys are very
dry these days and a few drops,
now and then of. Minnesota booze
feel grateful to many a parched
throat. In Northeastern Iowa a
chap received a shipment of three
large automobile tires which, on
examination by the officers Of the
law, were found to contain many
pint bottles Of whiskey.
An Iowa undertaken drove his
hearse over into Minnesota, filled
it with booze and then drove it
back again, followed by a long
line of automobiles as a funeral
procession, after which he landed
the corpse in his undertaking
parlors. No public announcement
was made of the funeral that fol-
lowed but several "dead ones"
were laid away.

TALES OF THE TOWN

shovel and sent the red hot Goals
out of doors, into snow drift.
Some time later, young lady
of the house put the kerosene
stove in the bathroom where her
finest raiment was laid out. In
some way, the stove was not
properly regulated, or was for
gotten, with the result that
black, greasy SCOT, which would
not "come off" was deposited in
a thick coat over said fine raj
ment.
Some weeks ago, young son
of the family was bowling down
hill on coaster when he bumped
into a telephone pole so hard
that he could not find one knee
cap and was laid up at home for
too long time to be agreeable.
A few days later, while the
good mother was out OF town for
a rest, the numerous offspring
bathed in the lake and, for safe
tvs sake, put a big life-preserver
on the little girl Of the number:
In some way he preserver shifted
in manner to put said little
girls face under water and she
was nearly drowned when her
predicament was discovered.
Just the other day, another
daughter of the house, just about
the high school age, sat down on
crochet hook with such force
and effect that it penetrated her
hip deeply. There was some
clamor, you may believe. Failing
to get a surgeon promptly,
neighbor woman bravely, with
strong arm, pulled out the barbed
needle. The boys of the house
now declare that sister knows
how a whale feels when it is har-
pooned. Where fate will next
hit with the axe, all are wonder
ing.

BEFORE GEOGRAPHY EX-
listed,

''Dear Bredren, low me to tell
you alls sumpfin,'' said colored
preacher to his congregation.
ode Chillen of Israel didn It wade
froo de Red sea neder did dey
swim, and neder did de sea dry
up jes' to 'commodate dem. Dey
jes' simply walked across on de
ice."
Deacon Jones then broke in.
eff you all will jes' take a squint
at. you all's jogaphies,' he de-
clared, ''you all will discovah dat
no ice freezes at all down dab
whar de Red sea am"
The pastor protruded his chest,
assumed an air Of great indigna-
ton and said: ode ignurance Of
Deacon Jones is 'stounding. Dea-
con Jones, don't you all know dat
when de Chillen of Israel done
crossed dat Red sea dere want
no jogaphies. "-Exchange.

erage, $l.oU, Tor his yheat. Then,
with all normal costs and profits
added, the wholesale price of
flour should not have exceeded SO
a barrel. Yet during the past few
weeks, at many centers, it has
scared as high as SIS. A prob
able average throughout the coun-
try is $14. Some one is taking S.
a barrel ON 100000 barrels a
month-$5O,0OO,000 a month alb
solutely picked from the Ameri-
can pocket. Since this rise in
price above SO was before the new
crop, We may assume that over
$3.50, 100000 has been snatched
from the mouths of hunger in
excess of normal profits of trade
and distribution. This in part &C
counts for a statement recently
made to me that we have now in
this country thirty thousand more
millionaires than we had before
the war commenced.
"a while back I spoke of the
pending Food Administration bill
as carrying lash. Here is where
the lash is to be vigorously ap-
piled. Now, who objects, except
the sleek, fat gent who is liable to
find himself at the timber end Of
the cowhide?
"These facts are given in de-
tail as an illustration of how price
control may be accomplished by
cutting out unnecessary middle
men and without diminishing the
just due of the man whose sweat
produces the food.
Legitimate tradesmen under
stand and approve. For exam
pie, the National Wholesale Groc-
ers' association, now cooperating
with government agencies, frank
ly states that it is folish for bust
ness men to fear that economy will
bring a general paralysis Of in
dustry or trade. The association
believes that readjusted business
will thrive and profit, not only
during the war, but for many
years thereafter.''
- No one can be properly fed
when the cost of living exceeds
his income. Depleted purses,
pinched stomachs, and worried
minds cannot and should not fight
the battles at home when dear
ones are bleeding. On the firing
line-while Food Hogs, Money
Vampires and Professional Pa
triots wax fat and more power
full.
In time of war as we'll as in
timeof peace; in fact as well as
in theory; for honor as well as
for policy, let there be equal
rights for all and special privil-
eyes for none.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18
CONCERNING THE RIP-sAW.

Such citizens as believe that
public servants should not set
themselves up as masters; that the
public servant should really
serve; that the courthouse is not
a throne building for kingly
usurpers; that all unclean cor
ners in the noble, marble-lined
building should be scrubbed out;
all such citizens appreciate and
approve the Rip-Saw.
All such citizens as we'll as
those who believe in publishing
facts and showing how the wheels
Of the county machinery really
revolve, should not delay in sub
scribing for the Rip-Saw. Delays
will result in heavy loss Of a great
brain-food, a great mental tonic
and a family guide to facts.
Bring, send or mail in your sub
scriptions, dear old fellow citi-
zens. The Roll of Honor is rap
idly growing. Get your name as
near the top as possible. All can
not come first but come as near
first as possible. The subcrip-
ton price is $500 a year, or $1.OO
for six months.
If any who already have sub
scribed do not receive their paper
regularly, that is due to some
error or neglect in the mails, or
the Rip-Saw mailing room. The
publisher Of the Rip-Saw will
greatly appreciate prompt notice
Of any failure to receive the paper
after a subscription actually has
been made.
If you receive a copy for which
you have not subscribed, do not
hesitate to receive it. No obliga-
ton will be incurred thereby, as
such copy has been ordered and
paid for by some friend.

WHEN FATHER STARTS TO
SNORE.

(By Harold w. Nichols in
The American Magazine.)
The supper dishes washed and dried,
Ma starts in darnin' socks.
Dads in his rockin' chair an reads,
An smokes his pipe, an rocks.
But pretty soon his rockin' stops
An then we hear roar.
Gee whiz! It's simply terribul
When father starts to snore.
Ma says it sounds just like them
That's boomin' out in France;
But anyway, he shores so hard
The house just seems to dance.
Sometimes he just breathes hard
spell
An then lets out boom
That seems to me will bust the walls
Right out the settin' room.
Sometimes he'll almost choke to
death,
An Jump an snort an shake;
An then we kids know right away
Our dad Is now awake.
Says ma: "Well, pa, you was asleep"
But pa says: mo, stree.
I've just been readin' bout the war
An them new guns" says he.
II guess you dreamed about them
guns"
Says ma; an winks at me,
can tried to im-mer-tate their
noise"
But father says: "Not me-;
Then reads some more, but soon
leans back,
An soon he shakes the door.
Oh, goodness me! There's sure some
noise
When father starts to snore.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18

From one end of st. Louis
county to the other and then
across from side to side, come
constant reports to the effect that
the voters have turned down
Odin Halden for further service
as auditor.
Handing political pie to Halden
has become a bad habit in St..
Louis county. The voters pro-
pose to break that habit. They
propose to take a sort of politi-
cal Kelley cure. They propose
to make the courthouse safe and
sane for the people rather than a
political cafeteria for bosses, dou-
ble-barrelled boys and servants,
who aspire to dictate and become

The strongest Halden fortifica-
tions in the county are crumbling
and falling. A constant stream OF
men who have voted for him for
a quarter Of a century are rails
ing their hands in surrender and
exclaiming, "Never again!''
Little sycophants and time
servers find themselves rowing
against an irresistible tide. AL
ready, they are looking for a safe
place on the beach to land their
leaky boats.
Spies and tale-bearers up and
down the county are sending in
reports that make sick the heart
of the usurper in the marble-lined
courthouse.
Odin Halden has been con-
demned to exile from the St..
Louis county courthouse. The
sentence will 60 into effect with
the passing of the year 1919.
Let both the people and Mr..
Halden's successor profit by his
example.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-08-18

Capt. Fiskett seems to be run
ming the police department most
of the time and Chief McKeroher
keeps flying up and down the
land in that big Marmon car.
The people Of the city Of Du-
luth, whose servant Chief McKer-
cher happens to be, still desire to
know how he got that car. They
wish to know who supplies the
gasoline that it burns up from
week to week and month to
month. They wish to know for
what purpose the car is used and
that gasoline is burned.
If, out Of his own purse, Chief
McKercher has purchased that
car, the people have nothing fur
Their to say. If the gasoline burn
ed up by that car is used solely
and exclusively for the benefit Of
the police department, the people
have nothing to say.
But if a public service corpora
ton, in whole or part, has don
ated that car to the Chief, then
the people have something to say.
When they speak it will be in a
voice audible even to the City
Hall and every servant therein.
If the little ocean of gasoline
is burned up each month by Chief
McKercher's mammoth car in pri-
vate joy rides, then the people
have something to say and it will
be said in no small tone of voice.
Neither the Rip-Saw nor the
people have any desire to annoy,
hamper or improperly question
Chief McKereher. But they pro-
perly consider him a servant of
the city; they know that there is
much talk about the Source from
which that car came and how and
why it, came to the big Chief.
They have the right to ask full
and complete information.
If Chief McKercher has not
violated his oath of office and the
city charter, then he should plain
ly and simply tell his masters,
the citizens of Duluth, exactly
what they desire to know. Any
undue silence on his part, or that
of the city commissioners, can be
construed no other way than ad-
versely and unfavorably.
Where, how and why did you
you get that Marmon car, Chief
McKercher3.

WON'T HAUL COAL; BIG
MONEY IN ORE.

While Duluthians are beginning
to feel real cross at the Food
Hogs, the country towns are get
ting in a bad way for coal. If the
situation is not quickly mended,
terrible distress will accompany
the coming Of real winter.
The situation in a town not
much over an hours ride from
Duluth is shown by an editorial
from the Star-Gazette, of Moose
Lake, MINI. The expression is
timely and penetrating, although
any blame attached to ore car
riers should not be placed exclus-
lively on vessels Of the U. s. Steel
Corporation. Many strong indie
pendent iron interests have ores
to carry and vessels to carry
them. They are not doing their
bit in bringing much-needed fuel
to the Head Of the Lakes. Here
is what the Star-Gazette says:
"While in Duluth the other
day, a reporter of the Star Ca
zette was Informed by a reliable
business house Of that city that
vessel owners are refusing to haul
coal on their return trips from
the East to Duluth, even though
they are offered three times as
much per ton as they have ever
received before. They are max
ing such big money hauling ore
for munition makers that they
cannot afford to lose the time re-
CURED to load and unload the
coal, it is said, and return empty
to Duluth for more ore.
"Food Conserver Hoover ought
to compel the big men to obey
the law as well as to attempt to
force the common people to get
along with less food Of poorer
quality, so as to save the best for
Europe.
'There is no coal in Moose
Lake, although it is known that
local dealers have had orders in
since last April. There is very
small supply of coal at, Duluth.
What are we going to do when
winter comesi-it will soon be
here; wood is scarce and prices
high. There is every indication
that unless something is quickly
done, many will have to 60 cold
this winter. The entire northwest
is in the same condition as is
Moose Lake. When the lakes
freeze over and dealers will re-
sort to rail traffic, coal will jump
to twenty dollars a ton.
It was ever thus. The "big
guy .gets by" while the COM
