THE SUBMARINES DEFEAT.

It may be too o o to predict at this
time that the submarine has been de-
feated but the record of sinkings show
constant decline while the chasers are
becoming more expert and the system,
of conveying merchant ships in squad
rons has made submarine navigation
almost certain death for the n%avigators.
1t has leaked out that the mutiny in
the German navy was caused by the
unwillingness Of men to ma the sub
marines. Affairs had reached such a
point that men were being drafted for
submarine service by command of their
officers and the draft was looked upon
as a sentence to certain death. The
men 1ebelled.
In the meantime the addition Of the
United States navy to the chase for
submarines has made it Sc certain
that a submarine would be hit sooner
or later either by direct shot from the
sharp shooters among the American
sunners or by the bombs which explode
deep down in the water and crush

BOMBING Tie C1NIkkssMAns EXEMPTION

When, on the Fourth of July, at the
Farmers Picnic after the declaration
has been read by some prominent cdu-
Gator, the congressman rises in his
| place to fire the American heart with
o~ratory upon our nations natal day"
he will wonder whether there is a
"sniper in the audience loaded with
the question Did you duck the in
come tax on your salary" That
is be will be ready to dodge
unless he periodically refused to &C
cept such exemption.
What could be more embarrassing
! than such a question aimed right at the
bullseye when the orator of the day
had traced American valor from Bunk
er Hill thru Valley Forge, on past
Gettysburg and Atlanta over the San
Juan slope and up to the west front?
Just as the words that breathe and
burn are breaking into c~onflagratlon
imagine Uncle William Henry from
The Crossroads rising up to inquire
about that income tax on a S,5OO
| salary. Bingo. How would the kaiser
| feel if a French 10 should burst on the
breakfast table. Please register dis
may for Messieurs the congressman.
1t is certain to require some expert
~camoufage on the part of congress-
men who adhere to the exemption to
| get by. Already the county newspaper
| escadrille is in the air and dropping
bombs like that loosened by the En-
metsburg Reporter. which announces
that it will vote for anybody except a
congressman who takes advantage Of
the exemption Of income. The air is
likely TO be alive with them looping
the loops, busy with automatics and
bomb triggers.
The congressman who has refused to
accept the exemption has digged him
self a bomb proof, raised the right
flag. The other who neglects that pre-
c~autionary defense is likely to hear
something drop out in the country,
something that sounds like a AZ cent
meter and Is as effective Of the pur-
pose for which it was intended and set
off.

Did you ever see a rooster

II you haven't, let mi tell you, It's a

He'll stop. to crow a million times and

And that, sof course. vol knows a

And that's just what happened the

came up to see Uncle Lucky, after
reading the advertisement in the Bun
nyville Gazette"
ARE you sure you know now to
handle q rake?" asked the old gentle
mar rabbit, and of course the old Red
Rooster said he did. So kind Uncle
Lucky took him out to the tool house
and gave him a long wooden rake and
then he took him back to the front
lawn. There are plenty of leaves
said Uncle Lucky, Rake them up into
a big pile and we'll have a bonfire to-
night, and maybe We'll roast sweet po-
tatoes and apples"
"Hurrah!" said the old Red Rooster,
and he began to crow.

hen the old rooster started in, n by
and by he had a little pile not higher
han his knee. Wasn't he a slow old
worker. Well, I just guess he was.
And the reason he didn't rake more
leaves was because he'd stand half the
time leaning on the rake handle watch
ing the automobiles go by. And of
course when Uncle Lucky came out to
see how things were going, he was dis
appointed. And I guess he was angry,
too, for he took the rake away from the
