Let me see. The old stage coach In
which Billy Bunny was taken drive
was overturned just as finished last
nights story. but it's all right tonight,
Yes. siree., It's back on its four wheels
again. And the billy goat team -
prancing along, for this morning Rob
bic Redbreast flew into my bedrooms
window Just as I was tickling the
alarm clock to see why it didn't go on
and wake me up, and told me that he
saw it, the stage coachs you know, roll-'
ing along on its four wheels Just as
good as ever, and that the old dog
driver had told him that Billy Bunny
had gotten out at Carrot and Lettuce
streets, whore his Uncle Lucky Left
hindfoot lived.
And after he had told me this the lit
tie robin flew away. And now I'll tell
you some more about the little rabbit.
!. Well, as soon as he hoped out Of
the old stage coach he looked around
to see II Uncle Lucky was in the front
yard, but he wasn't. Neither was the
old gentleman rabbit in the hammock
on the front porch. So Billy Bunny
hoped around to the garage to find
him. But the dear old gentleman rab-
bit wasn't there either.
Now where do you suppose Uncle
Lucky is?' and the little rabbit looked
inside the tool closet and behind the
wheelbarrow and under the gasoline
barrel And just then. all Of sud
den, big black snake glided into the
garage

Billy Bunny and His Friends

And then Billy Bunny was glad no
couldn't ind his Uncle Lucky, for II he,
couldn't find him that dreadful black
snake couldn't either.
"oh. please don't hurt me" said the
little rabbit. for he couldn't get out OF
the garage, you know for the snake
was standing right In the middle OF the
doorway. Ks
.oh, no, won't hurt you. I'll Just
give you Z nice big squeeze" said the
Gravity bad snake, and he glided to-
ward tho little rabbi.
oh. dear. oh, dear. I'm q goner now"
and Billy Bunny hopped nrsi 10 ono
side and then to the other, but that
dreadful snake crawled after him. And
pretty soon ne got closer and closer,
and then he opened his mouth and gave
q hiss.
And just a. that dreadful snake was
going TO coil himself al around that
poor little bunny what do you suppose
happened? You'd never guess, 10 I'll
tell you right away The big kind
Policeman Dog ran in and with his
club hit that snake q Tremendous
whack, and after that the snake said
he thought he'd go home And he did,
and then the Policeman Dog began to
sing:
Rub a-dub, dub. just look at my club.
And my uniform Of blue.
Whenever I pass with my buttons Of
brass
They give me cheer or two.
I'm a good watchdog, policeman Dog.
Looking out after you.

SOME REAL INFORMATION PLEASE.

B. r. Galloway, superintendent Iowa
Welfare League and Henry F. Burt,
war department member Of the COM
mission on training camp activities,
offer directly opposite statements re-
garding vice condition In Des Moines.
One says conditions are very bad; the
other says there are no disreputable
houses Chat he knows of In Des
Moines and outside of some bootleg
ging little or no vice.
Affirmation and denial will not
suffice. Galloway and Burt may toss
the ball of denial back and forth; but
the people interested desire to know
facts.
There is nothing reassuring about
the war commissioners statement. 1t
may be right las far as he knows,
but it takes in too much territory. II
Des Moines is in the highly virtuous
and immaculate condition he describes
as the limit of his knowledge surely
the millenial day is not far off for the
capital city. The change would be too
great for ordinary belief.
Perhaps Mr.. Galloway with the
eye Of the reformer saw more than the
ordinary observer would see. He was
looking for vice and found it and per-
haps he jumped to the conclusion that
matters had grown extraordinarily
vicious
Vice will follow soldiers camps pre-
cisely as vice gathers to a political
convention or county fair or as pick
pockets follow a circus. The vicious
seek opportunity and there is always
opportunity when many men are gath
cred together as at Des Mo!nes. That
is to be expected But it is also to be
expected that civic and military
authorities will drive vice as far from
camps as it may be driven and so far
as possible stand between vice and the
youth on which it hopes to prey.
Enough has been said of vice con-
ditions in Des Moines to justify the
friends and parents Of the men in
camp to demand further and accurate
information as to conditions.

iTNEvER MAS NOR EVER SHALL BE TRUE.

Said one young man to the other a:
they sat talking over things, you car
get anything with money
He was utterly wrong. There are
things that money can not buy. things
unpurchasable with money.
The repetition of that fallacy thai
money can buy anything" had rung in
our ears until we as people were
practically accepting 1t. Then, in the
flush Of the greatest prosperity ever
experienced and in the midst of the
most money and at the height of the
power Of money came the denial and
the proof Of that untruth that money
can buy anything The war came to
explode that lie.
Money couldn't have bought the
splendid fealty and purpose of the boys
who stepped forward to volunteer
Money didn't buy that. Money didn't

ers. Money couldn't and can't
Money couldn't buy the spirit in
which this latest loan was accepted.
solicited, subscribed by the people
Money isn't the loan. 1t is simply the
paper and metal upon which a great
people pledged their patriotism. It
suddenly become secondary
Money can't buy for its miser the
respect Of the community. It can't
hide itself IN times OF stress and sacr,
fee and come out to buy good opin-
ion. Bigger than all the money in the
world is the soul OF good man and
the spirit OF a patriot.
Come to think Of it there are many
things that money can't buy. It
couldn't buy Thomas Edison. Not for
a week or a day when his country
needs the best IN him. 1t couldn't pay
the men who are gladly serving at a
dollar year. It can't settle with the
mother who kissed her son perhaps for
the last time. 1t couldn't buy the
courage that holds the trenches on the
west front or the greater courage that
storms over them.
There are men and things that are
unpurchasable with money. Those
who fail to recognize and understand
that fact are reading their own souls,
not those Of other men For there are
many, many, even multitudes OF things
that money can not buy.
We might have come 10 believe and
accept that shameless untruth and
SANDER Of humanity, It might have
become almost true, perhaps, IL war
and its sacriice and its test Of man

swi,. Exe.c. war. End Soon.

There Is very strong note OF
optimism among the people OF Switzer-

war will end within few months" re-
marked H. A. Johnson. an American
who returned from that country a few
days ago. at the Shoreham. u heard
many persons say that the German
people are very weary Of the war. but
the very foundations Of militarism are
rocking. The war has now entered upon
the stage when the preservation OF the
Hohenzollern dynasty Is the only issue
and Is the main cause Of the continu-
ance of the conflict. 1t only needs a
further awakening Of the German
people to bring a collapse.

be kept from the German people much

rope believe that the struggle can not
last a great deal longer. Men can be
driven into battle once. perhaps twice,
but when a realization Of the hope
lessness of the thing arises the end
must come.
1T Is doubtless true that the Ger
mans have had to chain their men to
the guns, and there is not the least
doubt that the German soldiers have
been driven into battle at the point OF
machine guns. Moreover, they have
been drugged. Such conditions can
not continue long.
Switzerland has succeeded in main-
tanning her absolute neutrality" added
Mr.. Johnson, but there Is no question
as to the sympathies Of the people.
Along the German border there are
some Swiss who favor Germany, but
the large part of the population are
with the etente allies. '-Washingto

Now, before breaking off, let us give
the vets. little advice
Don't construe this victory as IL
cense to begin helling around.
Don't attempt in reasonably dry
counties to force the saloon upon the
people.
Don't try to elect radical saloon men
to the legislature.
Don't for one moment think the
present laws have already been alter
ed
Don't ever again look for the time
to come when drunkenness will be-
come popular.
Above all things. remember that 1t
was your lack of restraint and control
that made men attempt to put liquor
so far away from you that you couldn't
get it at all.
Be decent. upright, fair and keep
your appetite under control, or ampu-
tate it.
There never was time that we
know Of when it was not against the
law to become drunken and irrespon-
sible. and the election Of October Is
did not change this.
The liquor question will be out Of
politics when the law OF fermentation
is repealed and common sense can be
legislated into peoples heads.

to look anyone squarely In the face.
For Davenport and Scott county people
subscribed more than was asked Of
them for the second Liberty loan. The
equivalent Of a bond for every family
in the county was taken-the number
OF separate bond sales proves that.
When it comes to backing the volun-

community there isn't any Stacker
sentiment left In Scott county. More
dollars were volunteered than the gov
eminent called for.
