LOYALTY AND STRIKERS

1t is not an inspiring spectacle,
that of over $4,000 men, the best
paid laborers and mechanics in the
wrold today and men engaged in
government contracts, refusing to
work unless they are granted an in
crease of fifty per cent in wages.
Strikes and labor disturbances are
hurtful to all concerned at any time.
particularly so when the nation and
the world almost, is at war and eff
fort is being made by the government
and all loyal citizens to bring the
country up to it's greatest efficiency.
The men on strike, were they en-
ployed on labor not so essential as
that of furnishing material and equip
ment needed by the government,
would bring down on themselves suf-
ticient condemnation, but under the
circumstances their action will be
considered inexcusable.
On the other hand, there are thous-
ands OF young men, skilled in the
arts, the mechanics, business and the
professions, who have given up their
life work, their homes and occupa-
tions, not for money, but that men of
the type and character of those on
strike may be protected.
i There comes time in the life and
history of the Individual where the
fruits of liberty so dearly bought are
not appreciated and a license is
made of liberty. In most instances
the strikers are men from European
countries, where they have lived UNI
der oppression and worked for far
less and under far worse conditions
than they have ever experienced in
the land of their new home. This
being the case. it would seem that
the strong mailed fist of military
government is needed to hold them in
line. 1t is not a time to be patient
with men who are so lost to the eter-
nal fitness of things, so dsloyal to
their government, that they will
select a time of need and stress to
try and enforce individual demands.

There have been many conjectures
as to the source of revenue for main
tainance of street lights and other
contemplated and necessary expen-
ditures in the near future. We call
attention to Ordinance No. 10, as
amended, which provides for the Ii
censing of dogs. and Ordinance No..
20. The last mentioned ordinance
was passed by the town council Oc-
tober 6. 1913, and if properly en-
forced would provide an annual rev.
enue to the town of Roman of APP
proximately 5000 in license fees for
various businesses. Neither of these
ordinances have ever been enforced
There would be very appreciate.
revenue from the licensing Of dogs
and the enforcement of that ordi-
nance would serve two worthy pur-
poses. replenish the exchequer and
rid the town of an untold number
of stray dogs.

TIPS ON THRIFT

EXtravagant cooks must learn how
to use left-overs. Leftover cereals
can be combined with meats. fruits,
or vegetables to make appetizing side
dishes. Even spoonful of cereal is
worth saving as a thickener for soup
or gravy. Don't throw away stale
bread. skim milk. sour milk, scraps
Of meat or fish, trimmed fats OF suet,
even the water used for cooking rice
and many vegetables should be kept.
Stale bread can be used in many ways
and skim milk contains all the nour-
ishing qualities OF milk except fat;
sour milk can be used in baking:
meat and fish scraps add flavor and
nourishment to made over dishes fat
can be tried out as a substitute for
butter and lard in cooking: while
cooking water will help to flavor the
soups and sauces.
Keep food from exposure to heat,
germs. dirt and flies. and prevent the
waste due to spoilage. Protect food
from mice and insects. Keep milk
cool and we'll covered Find a use for
vegetables that might decay. Stew
fruits that threaten to spoil. Cook
appetiingly. 1t puts heavy strain
even on patriotic duty to eat scorched
oatmeal, improperly seasoned potatoes
soggy or poorly favored vegetables,
overlooked meat or fish. and burned
fat. The cook who uses care to make
palatable dishes is rendering ma
tional service this year just as truly
as is the soldier in the trenches.
Prepare food economically. A care
less cook will waste 20 per cent of a
potato, turnip, or an apple in peeling
it.
Simplify your war menu: eat
enough and no more. Make saving
rather than spending your household
motto. Don't be finicky. but be will
ing 70 try new dishes which Is made
Of left-overs Or cheap foods.

PREPARE FOR WINTER

October is a good mouth to repair
the buildings and get them in good
shape for winter use. This is espec-
tally true sheds, barns, feed lots,
and other buildings used by live
stock.
The farm equipment off machinery,
tools, etc, should be looked after
also. Proper protection from the
weather, little paint to prevent
the rotting of wood, and some heavy
grease to prevent the rusting of
iron and steel parts will make the
tools last longer.

At the Moiese mass meeting Sum
day, F. 7. Grove, project manager of
the y. S. r. s.. stated upon request
the main facts and reasons for the
shut down of work at the reclamation
camp. Scarcity of feed and labor
and the high cost of both has used
more funds than had been estimated
as needed under normal prices. The
contract of 100000 being worked by
c. B. Long and his sub-contractors
will be finished and the concrete
pipes will also be finished and in
readiness to hurry the job. should
congress allow the necessary funds.
There are $4,000 acres in this divis-
ion under the ditch and more water
is used in Moiese than in any other
division of the project. Mr.. Grove
stated that there was but one section
on the project needing the water as
badly as 1t is needed in here. The
drouth of the past season left such
lesson in dry farming in Moiese
that much land will be left idle next
year unless water is available for
spring crops.

The Right to Oriticise.
(Bristol Press)

The entire south comes in frequent of the lynching habit in that section, and the papers are filled with com ments on the crimes, which are admit tedly brutal. The statistics show that during the past year there were fifty four lynchings in that section. The record is not a pleasant one. But af- ter all is 1t much more wicked than the grewsome record of autom obile killings in Connecticut for the same time, Connecticut having POP to the entire south's 54? One is no more justifiable than the other. And of the two there is far less excuse for the machine murders. Our state is in no position to criticise our neighbors to the south.

 It is true that some Senators have

unwillingly united So numerous are
the political parties in the Reichsrath,
