HAWKEYE PHILOSOPHY
BY c. F. Ladd.

Even thinking about work 4eems to
tire some people.
Too many OF US are so busy looking
at tomorrow's duties, that we overlook
today's opportunities.
Many a man who thinks himself in
the march of progress is merely
marking time
II you can not enlist in the army
there are plenty of other ways to do
your Bit
Life is more than hop, skip and
Jump.
Now = the time for every patriotic
woman to put away her dancing
pumps, and get out her knitting
needles.
The devil, himself must be ashamed
Of Kaiser Bill.
II the women's skirts get much
shorter they will look like a lot Of ball
let dancers.
Some folks seem to think that we
could not possibly get along without
them. The truth is, we hardly know
how to get along with them.
It's no honor to have some folks
think well Of you.l
When you turn your back upon the
truth. it's there. Just the came.
II you are on the right side, II isn't
necessary to make apologies for being
there.
Just because q man has money h
no real evidence Of his superiority.

QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED.
fWo tar1n1 Coveson


Our apparent slowness in getting
started is going to come in for sharp
criticism and some of our congress.
men are going to want to know how
the shipbuilding program Is getting
along and will ask why q competent
head for this vital business has not
been found. There is going to be a
big stir over the transportation prob
lem, centering around hot fight for
government ownership most likely.
and the coal situation also has few
volotile elements in 1t. Another group
OF congressman will probably try to
stir up a little scandal over the short
age Of rifles for tho national army.
Others are going to demand Q reor-
sanization Of the presidents cabinet
or the taking Of opposition leaders into
the high councils Of the government
by otheg means. Some Of them are go
ing to ask why Mr.. Root or Mr.. Roose-
welt was not sent to the allied confer
ence instead Of Colonel House.
These are some Of the vantage points
from which the administration may be
attacked. Congress will not be slow
to find others. We may be sure Of
that.
