1T SHOULD BE PASSED

The voters of the country sholid
carefully scrutinize the record votes
II the representatives in Washington
on the Food Control bill.
There is no question but that COM
binations of capital taking advant-
age of the extraordinary Circumstance
es that now exist, are plundering the
people by exacting exhorbitant pro-
fits on the necessities of life.
It is always better when natural
conditions regulate business and keep
prices normal to leave business alone
and let natural conditions perform the
task, but when natural conditions fail
to do so it is the function Of legisla-
ton to step in and regulate them and
if it fails so to do, then government
is a failure.

little business, but when the people

Even agitation OF this measure ha
produced good results. The coal baron

announced their intentions to folloy

All are equal in the Eagles nest and
also in the Red Cross. 1t represents
the Christ side of war. 1t is not a
national or even information al organ
ization. 1t is worldational in its
scope.
1t Makes Her Mad
When a girl coaxes her lover not to
enlist, it makes her madden than a
hornet to have him prove mollycod-
die and yield to her entreaties.
1t Can't Be Done.
Alcohol is an essential element in
the manufacture of smokeless powder,
but smokeless powder cannot be made
out of the alcohol that men swallow.

It is better to be inconsistent than

MEN, WOMEN
and THINGS
By F. M. E.


~
The Fault Finders
The fellows that complain the most
about our government, it's laws and
institutions came to this country with
out invitation and are remaining with
out solicitation.
Why They Love Us
Women do not love men for what
they are but for what they like to i'm
agine they are.
Strange But True
Many a kid is soundly spanked fol
doing things that tickles it's parents
half to death.
A Hindrance to Recovery
The prettier the nurse the longer il
takes man to get we'll.
He Pays Himself
Whenever man borrows trouble he
always pays the loan to himself.
Would Be Useless.
If every man practiced what he
preached, the world would have no use
for preachers except to marry people.
The Wrong Name
Some men proclaim that they are
neutrals when they are only towards.
Equally Honorable
It should be remembered that it
takes more ability and patriotism to
be a good obeyer than it does to be a
good commander.
When They Stop Laughing
At picnics girls always clap their
hands and laugh when the pesky ants
chase up and down the inside of the
pant legs of their escorts, but when
conditions are reversed they don't
laugh.
His Only Advantage
The only advantage that man pos
sesses over a woman is that he can
sing bass solo better.
A Waste of Good Money
1t is waste of good money to pay
a man your cash to have him tell you
what your troubles are.
Impossible
You can't clean your suit with the
gasoline you burn in your car.
When the Law Don't Govern
When a woman is driving a car
which ever side of the road she takes
is the right of way.
Curious
Whenever a girl with dimpled ell
bows is washing dishes she always
raises the curtains of the kitchen win
dows.
Would Be Increased
If men said half as many nice
things to their wives at home as they
do about them when they are away
from home, domestic felicity would be
greatly increased.
unprecedented
The method of foreign shipping
since the beginning of the war was to
run away from the submarine. The
Yankees under Admiral Sims, run at
ter them. The Germans are Complain
ing bitterly that it is irregular and un-
for the hunted to turn
around and hunt the hunter.
A Safe Bet.
It is safe bet, in these days when
you pass through a train and see a
charming young lady, oblivious to her
industrially knitting on
a wooden sock that her sweetheartis a
Not Treason.
It is not a sign of disloyalty if a
person happens to have the German
measles.
Don't Overdo It.
Train up a child in the way he
should go too hard, and when he grows
up he will depart from it as soon as
he can.
The Only One
The Red Cross is the only organize
ton of it's kind in the Universe. It
is in class by itself. No one is bar
