Our soldiers face foe once more,
Somewhere in France;
On our gallant ally's shore,
Each prepared to do his bit,
And make light of doing 1t,
Somewhere in France.
Exponents of true liberty,
Somewhere in France;
Of freedom both on land and sea,
Upholders of democracy,
Opponents of autocracy,

Your boys and our boys among the

Somewhere in France;
And all inspired to do his best,
TO give their lives if fate so Wills,
In trenches or on shot-swept hills,
Somewhere in France.
Our hearts are with the boys in drab,
Somewhere in France;
A valiant lot, both proud and glad
That they have opportunity to serve
A righteous cause with pluck and

Billy Bunny and His Friends

Dear mel" cried Uncle Lucky, the
dear old gentleman rabbit, as he and
Billy Bunny rode along, oh. ever so
fast in the Luckymobile, Il must get
my hair cut It's so long that it makes
a little fringe over my collar" So
pretty soon he stopped before a barber
shop and went 1t, and SO did Billy
Bunny, for his hair was too long, too.
Why, it was almost as long as the pig
tail of his Chinese laundry friend; Tu
Long Tu! But the Chinaman wouldn't
have his hair cut. No sireemam. Not
even II you threw stone thru his front
window and broke his iron and the

shall / shave you first?' asked the
barber, who was a kind looking sheep
dog who sheared the sheep every year
and of course knew how to cut hair
beautifully.
."All right" replied Uncle Lucky, and
then he shut his tyes so as not to get
any soapsuds In them. And while the
good, kind sheep dog was shaving
Uncle Lucky Billy Bunny had his hair
trimmed by the brother Of the sheep
dog. And the little rabbit had 1t cut
as short as possible SO that his scnooi
teacher couldn't get hold Of 1t when
he missed in spelling.
Well, after a while, the two little
rabbits got into the Luckymobile again
and rode away and when it was lunch

THE FULL WEIGHT OF BILLIONS FELT.

Iowa's official apportionment of the
new Liberty Loan will stagger most
men when they read their own part Of
the load. Marshall county is called
upon for s1,677,375. Hardin for s1,11S,-
ESQ. Tama for $931,S75 Powesh!ek for
s931,S75. Franklin for s6S3.375. Wright
for s931,S75 Grundy for s745,5O0. But
Ter for s931s15. Story for s1,11S.25O,
and Hancock for s621,25O.
In Marshall county the allotment
amounts to Is per cent of all the bank
deposits in the county but at that it
falls short of gathering all Of the
peoples surplus. Bank deposits in the
average Iowa county have increased 25
per cent since last fall and our corn has
not yet gone to market Marshall
county, for example, will husk 100000
bushels and will take down a war
profit over and above the proceeds
or more.
Many a business man has been Won
dering what Iowa people would do with
all their money. Visions of riotous
luxury and speculation as the result of
getting the price of two crops for one
have worried fnanciers but the gov
eminent is going to blow off all this
foam. The people OF Iowa are going to
become careful, conservative bond
holders, investors in government bonds.
million of Marshall county's and a
million Of Hardin county's war profits
are going to be invested at per cent
and bring back to each of those coun-
ties $4,000 per annum of good govern
ment interest for twenty-five years
when the full amount Of the principal
will be returned.

Germans unifyina Russia.

In Miniature the Germans seem to
have reproduced fragment Of Napo-
Icons experience in Russia. They
have not been driven back. nearly an
initiated, as he was. But they have
demonstrated, as he did. that the sur
est way to unity the Russian people IS
to invade its land and threaten It's
capital. The Russian army appeared
to be hopelesely demoralized. The Ger
mans took Riga from its almost unrs-
sisting hands, the kaiser issued one OF
his vainslorious hyperboles about how
the battle Of Riga had Increased the
glory Of our arms" and given fresh
laurels' to his troops, and the Germans
took up the way to Petrograd. BY this
they seem to have accomplished the
miracle of reuniting the disorganized
army in the north, where all tho dras-
tic measures of Korniloff and al the
appeals of Kerensky had failed. the
Russian. compiacently debating the
fundamental verities with himself, was
rudely aroused by finding himself push
ed out Of Riga Awakened he turned
on the interrupter and smote him.
There has been no great battle IT
course: 1t would be foolish to expect
such progress all at once. But the
German was stopped, and the Russian is
pushing him back. That is great
deal, when one remembers that, with
all the advantages of position. the Rus
slams on height and the Germans I'M
protected below, the Russians let
themselves be thrown out Of Riga. The
reason was not that they were not
courageous, but that they were dis
united and pacific. Nothing that their
leaders could say or do could make
them united or warlike, but the Ger
mans accomplished the feat. General
verkhovsky the new minister of war,
has announced that he Is about the
raising OF "a mighty revolutionary
army: ON TIC a3s:s - thnse of other
nations" The flip the Germans have
given to the Russian should help him
nightly, and seems to be doing SO.
There is nothing whatever the matter
with the Russian as a fighter. The
difficulty is to make him angry, and
the Germans have shown what they
can be counted on to do in that be-
half when the need arises. If they
carry out their rumored purpose OF
trying to get food for themselves by
sending an army to seize the corn lands
in the south. they may give valuable
aid to General Verkhoysky.-New York

THE SLACkER'S DREAM

A Stacker
Dreamed
He saw his home
Nesting in the hills,
His children
Playing beneath the shade trees,
His wife
Singing about her tasks.
His daughter
In the first blush of young womanhood
Gathered flowers.
His favorite dog
Basked in the morning sun.
And then
The invaders landed
Advancing inland
Sweeping all before them.
They emerge from the wood
Scatter over his lawn.
A scream,
The flashing blade, his baby!
He saw the white frock's spreading
stain,
His wife
In the grasp Of vile men
Outraged and tortured
Cast to die amid the flames of their
home
He heard the brutal Taught
AS his daughter, stripped of raiment
Sought to hide her shame,
Her fair young body
Defiled but spared
For the nights revelry
Enough"
The vision faded, tottering reason
returned
Trembling he awoke
And in the early mornings hours
Sought
The recruiting office.

Here is his declaration sent by tele-
gram from Washington to be used in

Ihirty years ago was opposed to
statewide prohibition in Iowa; and es-
pecially to constitutional prohibition. I
then felt it would increase rather than
decrease the consumption of liquor.
The whole situation has changed.
Our experience during that time has
revolutionized the habits, thought, and
disposition of the people, and am
now earnestly for statewide prohibi-
ton, and particularly constitutional
prohibition.
The day Of liquor drinking and
liquor selling has passed Every sane
man knows and admits that the world
would be better in every way morally,
physically and industrially without
liquor than with it. Everybody sees
that the prohibition movement is bound
to win and that the people Of this
country at least are going to live and
die sober

COAL IS GOING TO Be COAL.


Coal is going to be coal this winter
and it behooves every man to prepare
| to save on his consumption Of fuel for
there is little relief in sight on the
price. Local dealers can not now get
any more Kentucky coal Illinois coal
is hard to get and it looks now as tho
it would be Iowa coal or nothing be-
fore spring.
The government has fixed price at
provide for an increase in their cost
of doing business of 80 per cent over
their gross margins in the year 1915
but if this margin were applied to Iowa
and Illinois coal it would increase the
retail selling price in Marshalltown
today. Until the government fries
more fat out of the coal mine owner
there is bound to be high priced fuel
and not much of 1t.
The average man is careless and
wasteful with his furnace and his
stove. He neglects to clean his CHM
ney fire or his smoke pipe in the fall
and he neglects to keep ashes clear
from underneath his crates for perfect
draft. He is careless about his dam
pers and lets much Of his fuel go up
the chimney in smoke. He economies
at the shovel by putting too little fuel
in and then wastes at the chimney by
forcing much fuel up the fiue.
With d strong clear draft in the
chimney flue, clear draft from under
meath the process of combustion be-
comes most efficient With a damper
in the smoke pipe and plenty of fuel
heaped well above the fuel door
long slow fire can be controlled and
regulated which will get the most heat
out OF the fuel used.
But that is not all Most men try
to heat all Of out of doors. They
neglect to stop the cracks around the
windows and doors. They leave their
Easements open to the weather and they
leave the lids off from their houses
by having the attic or garnet floors I'M
covered Storm windows and window
strips storm doors even If nothing
more than paper covered screen doors
will be good investments this year.
And then there is the inefficiency of
fuel because of some imperfection in
the heating plant. An old furnace may
be TOGO small for its job, pipes may
have not been adequate for the eX-
trcrie exposure in the cold side OF the
house stoves may be too small or too
old. There may not De enough water
or steam radiation. The furnace or
boiler may need repairs. There are
hundred ways in which fuel can be
wasted which ought to have been saw
ed and this is the year to bring down
the cost of fuel by not burning it.
On the average farm and even
around the place in town there is an
abundance of trash which goes up in
the SNAKE of bonfres. 1t might be
used for fuel Out in California in
1914 when fuel was cheap enough IN
Iowa but cost twice as much out there
the. writer found brush and twigs cut
up and stored in house for fuel. The
average heating season in Iowa Is two
months of light fires, two months OF
heavy fires and two months more OF
light fires and there is at least half o.
the season in which trash about the
place can be used for fuel All it costs
is labor and most of us can furnish our
own labor without much cost to any
body. Fuel is going to be fuel this year
so let's save as much of 1t as we can.
