Kipling Says:

1t amt the guns nor armament,
nor funds that they can pay.
But the close cooperation, that
makes them win the day;
1t amt the individual, nor the
army as a whole,
But the everlastin' teamwork of
every bloomin' soul.
Wars are not Won by individu-
ais. nor yet by armies; but, as the
poet so aptly puts it, by the
everlastin' teamwork of every
bloomin' soul"
Teamwork of this nature i'm
plies much - everybody, every
thing. In this stupendous con-
flict in which we are engaged it
means more than the CO opera
ton of the different branches of
the army and navy, more than
the help of the financial and in
dustrial forces of the country,
more than the conservation of
agricultural resources, all of
which are necessary, it means the
mobilization of the honest. earn
est, prayerfuIinteresto of eachindi-
vidual citizen of our beloved re-
public.
Within the heart of every true
American is the burning desire
to do great things for his coun-
try at this time. To many will
be given the privilege to offer
"the supreme sacrifice" to mil
lions more will be given the op-
portunity of service in a humble,
yet telling way. The demand
for sacrifice will come from time
to time in divers forms and by
our response to them can we
show our true patriotism.
Our money, the conservation
of food and other resources and
our prayers to an All Wise AMI
All Powerful God that the day OF
peace and justice may speedily
come constitute a share in this
teamwork that is possible to all.
Let us all do our bit-big. -

All kinds Of warlike instruments ap-
pear among the Christmas toys, from
battleships and airships and subma-
rines to the same old airguns, tin
swords and tin soldiers. Even the
baby boy not to be raised to be a SOL
der will hear the blare of the bugie
and the rolling of the drum while the
older tots march to battle. In the
days of peace this sort of thing would
have been taken as matter of course.
The toy to be worth anything would
have to be out of the ordinary. Low
ers of peace and haters of militarism'
however, may take comfort in the hope
that the children will really not know
what it is all about, The symbols and
implements Of war4will soon be dis
carded for rattles and dolls and bOOkn
and sleds and skates.

Battleships Wear Cloth
es Of Cocoanut Fiber
Material.

Although it may look strange,
a battleship is really a very deli
cate monster. It's vital parts
have to be protected by several
coverings of a material chiefly
obtained from cocoanuts. This
is to prevent certain portions be-
coming either too cold or too hot.
For example, the results would
be exciting if the powder maga-
zines became overheated. A
dreadnought is clothed in a suit
of underwear to protect it from
fire and water. The actual con-
struction of material IS a secret,
but it is known to be for the
most part cellulose, which is OBJ
tanned from the fibrous rind of
the cocoanut. Cellulose swells
when it touches salt water.
Therefore, if a hole should be
made in the ships side, \say by
shot, this celluIose expands and
covers the opening, so prevent
ing an thrush of water. The Gel
Iulose is also treated to make it
tireproof. Mineral wool is a ma
terial used upon the latest type
of battleship. It looks like wool,
but is really composed of threads
of a sort of glass. The men who
pack mineral wool have to wear
masks to prevent the needlelike
particles from being inhaled. II
| is a nOnconductor of heat, and is
used to cover the refrigerators
and cold storage chambers, anC
also explosive stores. The boil
ers of a dreadnought have Jack
cts" of mineral wool, sometimes
wood, and sometimes ordinary
blanketing. -Ex.

ed to the Senate by Hon. Albert
B. Cdmmins of Iowa and pressed
to. final adoption. 1t provides
that during the war no liquor
shall be imported into the United
States, and the liquor now held
in bond shall not be withdrawn
during the same period. It has
been rumored that the distilleries
are working overtime in an eff
fort to fill up the bonded ware
houses in anticipation of a law
prohibiting the manufacture of
liquor, and it is also understood
that England is increasing its
production, presumably with the
idea Of shipping great quantities
to this country should a prohibi.
ton law be agreed upon. By Mr..
Cummins' amendment, however.
the danger from those two sour,
ces is eliminated, and real prohi
bition assured if the language is
retained in the bill.

Political Gossip from
Washington.

Washington, July 10. Especial
Correspondence. The entrance
of the United States into the war
gave an enormous boost to the
civil payroll of the United States'
and, particularly here in Wash
ington, afforded opportunity for
a host of people to achieve their
long nourished ambition to get a
position in the government SER
vice. Not only have new Du-
reaus and commissions and COM
mittees sprung up, but branches
Of the service already in opera
ton have added to the list OF
their employees upon the ground
that the war has added to the
work to be performed.
AS an illustration of the ease
with which clerks now get into
the government service may be
cited the case of a girl who tried
in vain to hold a clerical position
in private employment at $50 per
month, losing her position be-
cause not qualified, but now hold
ing a government position at
$4,000 per year. Another girl ac-
cepted a call to one of the hu-
reaus but in response to better
salary offers from other bureaus
rapidly transferred until she oc-
cupied a position beyond her
fondest hopes a year before.
Under civil service regulations
these positions must be rated
among the several states, but so
long as an emergency exists the
appointments will be made with
out regard to geography, if no
eligibles are to be had from states
that have not supplied their quo
tas.
