TAKING TIME
BY THE FORELOCK.

When it was announced some weeks
ago that Col. E. NJ. House had been
delegated to collect data in prepara-
ton for the eventual peace confer
ence, every pro-German, pacifist and
disloyalist in the land began a delight
ed cackle. But their noise was con-
fession of ignorance.
In time of peace prepare for war
is an old saying. The president is
also convinced that in time of war we
must prepare for peace.
1t simply means that the president
is wary, alert, on the job.
Past peace congresses often caused
more misery than the wars they end
ed. The seeds of the present world
war were laid in the cowardice of the
Berlin Congress, when the Balkan
question was side-stepped. President
Wilson, with characteristic prudence,
is trying to take time by the fore
lock, so when this war ends it will end
properly.
This means that not only will the al
lies, fighting for democracy, win on
the BATTLEFIELD, but that they will be
prepared, so that they will not be eu-
chred, cheated, tricked and hood
winked by the lying Teuton diplomats
in the peace conference.
We have a big job. We have to
help smash the most formidable war
machine the world has known. 1t is
going to take time and money. By
next spring Uncle Sam will begin to
make some Of his power felt in
France. By next fall he will have
big army in the trenches. The real
energies of the country will be alb
sorbed in this. Within year or less
we will be doing our manful part in
the work of freeing the world forever
from the menace of Prussianism.
But in the meantime it will do no
harm to prepare the material our dip
lomats will have to use when the war
ends. Colonel House himself pointed
out that he will have to gather mass
of historical, political and economic
data. Then he added this, which gives
the rebuff to all who are spreading
peace propaganda:
"Such task as this could not even
be we'll begun in less than a years
time. That it is being undertaken
now may be taken as an indication
that there is yet no signs of the end
ing of the conflict"

LATENT TALENT.

Whoever you are, you have talent.
Perhaps you are musician or a
poet. Perhaps you can't sing the
scale or scan line of verse, but "have
luck" with your garden. Perhaps
you are a bridge builder or digger.
The difference between the Panama
canal and city sewer is not in kind
but merely in size.
But you are not good for nothing,
tho exactly what you are good for the
world may not yet have discovered.
Rest assured, when you were born ma
ture let you into one of her many
secrets. 1t may have been the secret
of the stars. 1t may have been the
secret of the deep. 1t may have been
the secret of the city, or Of the field,
Of bird or of man.
You have some talent, and what
kind of talent it is does not in the
least matter.
Some men have big talents and
some little. There are PadereWskis
and moving picture pianists-and it
is hard to tell which gives the most
pleasure to the most people. There
are OHdhSSpSdlSS dIu iiIilCi i'm WI
ters, and both serve. There are Goe-
thals and farm ditch diggers. Some
men build city skyscrapers housing
the equivalent of a city of 10000, and
some build farm barns-but the grain
sheltered under the roof of the farm
barn is necessary to keep life in the
architect of the skyscraper.
Mems talents are of different sizes,
but the size does not in the least mat
ter.
Only one thing about talent mat
ters-that it shall be used.
Whatever the nature of your talent,
and whatever its size, express it. If
YOU do. you will be happy and grow,
and will make the world grow and be
happy.
For the only perilous thing about a
talent is this-that talent is so often
concealed. dormant latent. And Ia
tent talent is the most useless thing
in the world.

SUCCESS DUE
TO THE PEOPLE.

The final returns received last week
from the IL Federal Reserve Banks
show that the total subscriptions to
the Second Liberty Loan were $4,617,-
532, 300, an over subscription of ST.
617,532,3O0
All will agree with Secretary Nc
Adoo that the success of the Loan
would have been impossible without
the loyal support and cooperation of
the people of the country, and that
support was secured by the indefatig-
able and earnest work of hundreds of
thousands of patriotic men and wo-
men throughout the United States.
Well NAV the Secretary of the
Treasury thank these splendid vofun-
teers and patriots who made the fight
for the Liberty Loan. In addition
to the thousands and thousands of in
dividual workers, he mentions particu-
larly the press of the country. the
bankers, the Liberty Loan organiza-
tions in every State, city. town. and
community. the women of America,
the Bov Scouts and Girl Scouts. the
business men, patriotic organizations,
cooperative and fraternal societies.

War Activities In Washington.

Washington, D. c., Nov. %, 1917
The population Of the City of Wash
ington has increased at least $4,000
since the war began. 1t is natural
that the capital city, the center of
government activities, should show
this marked effect of the most exten-
sive preparation for war ever under
taken by any country. A steady
stream of new appointees to the great
civilian army pours into the city; the
streets hum with activity; everybody
is busy and earnest; on every hand
are the sure signs of competent or
ganization with a fixed purpose.
At the request of the United States
Civil Service Commission the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce has un-
dertaken the work of directing to suit
able rooming and boarding, places the
new arrivals who are not acquainted
in the city. Hundreds of desirable
rooms, with or without board, are list
ed. and at very moderate rates. Ap-
plication for accommodations can be
made by new appointees through cor
respondence before leaving home or
by calling at the office of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce. No.

thousands more are needed. Ship

The News has had a personal letter
from Mrs. VIM. G. McAdoo, wife Of
the Secretary of the Treasury. and
daughter of President Wilson, thank
ing US for our efforts in behalf of the
Woman's Liberty Loan Committee.
The News isn't going to publish that
letter, as we made no effort in behalf
of the woman's committee, and are not
entitled to it. The News devoted COL
umns upon columns of space to the
Liberty Loans, but it received its lit
erature direct from the government.

A New York transportation corpo-
ration has began suit for $2,S00,000
against Nicholas Romanoff, ex-Czar
of Russia in the supreme court of New
York, for alleged breach of contract.
AS Nick is reported to have $3,O00,-
900 on deposit in New York, it is like
ly that if the company gets a judg-
ment that it will easily secure this
money. Nick is having hard times
these days, with his government in
the hands of the bolsheviki today and
the Kerenski-Kaledineski tomorrow,
while himself and the czarina and the
little kids are up in Siberia with
nothing to do but suck their thumbs.

Prepare the Compost Heap.

Farmers who expect to grow sweet
potatoes, beans, ETC., next spring
should make compost heap of farm
wastes this fall. Into the heap can
be put the usual farm rubbish, de-
cayed vegetables and tops, manure,
some mulch, and any other thing
which will serve as fertilizer or hu-
mus to be spread on the fields in the
spring.
1t is useless to make such a heap
for spring use unless it is done soon

tension division. From two to foul
months will be necessary for it tc

There is something particularly pa

Second Liberty Loan by the soldiers

of their country, they have enlisted
their dollars, too. Surely they are

Possibly the most interesting piece
of industrial information coming to
Florida is the announcement that the
Tampa Shipbuilding & Engineering
Co.'S plant has been leased to the Os-
car Daniels Company, and a contract
to build ten steel ships of $500 tons
each had been approved by Admiral W.
l.. Capps, head of the Emergency Ship
ping corporation. These contracts
amount to between $16,000,000 and
$1S,000,O00, and will necessitate the
employment of fully 1900 workmen
who will be brought to Tampa. Tam

famous as Tampa made cigars-regu-

charges, that Sheriff Bowling is inno-

AS like as two peas in a pod
With the same prospect of under the
sod,
Sat two youths side by side
Taking perhaps their last ride
In the subway, clad in the hue, the
same khaki hue
That strikes the perpetual note, those
Were bright-smiling, were pals to the
last.
The blue-eyed one spoke, and he cast
An affectionate. glance as he said,
"I'm athirst,"
In accents as pure as Amherst,)
What do you say to a drink"
"I'm wit ye as quick as wink"
Replied Tad, but his smile was as
safe
And sweet as that of an angelic
waif.
At Times Square they arose
And passed out where the human tide
flows,
I followed. They walked shoulder
to shoulder,
Marching into a drugstore. I grew
bolder,
Went into the store and stood by
AS they quenched their thirst that was
dry.
Then Amherst remarked to Tad thus,
"Now let US take ride on the bus. "
'I'm wit we again. "said Tad.
NV heart went shiverv and glad
AS I followed the khaki-boys trail,
Two striplings untried, equipped for
the Grail.
Atop of the bus before me their pro-
files so fair
To look on, they only concerned with
their ride in the air,
And the run of their perched-up view,
l wondering fondly what they might
dare or would do,
Regarding their unsullied forms,
In trim for the battle, so fit for the
storms,
Framed for endurance and showing
their pluck
In the set of their jaws, the good
luck
In their eyes afame with their youth
Not unsettled by vice, or hampered
by ruth
Of an enmity; but keen for delight
To strip wrong from a right.
They sat with their eyes all aglow
And their curling fair hair ablow.
How loved their good muscle
Firmly trained for the tussle.
And how | adored each son,
And how | abhorred the Hun!
l listened to their happy tones.
1t was Amherst l heard again speak,
"Say Jones,
I'll teach you bit of French,
You may find it handy in the trench"
"Well, I'm wit ye in any languitch
Over the top or in the ditch.
Sure will learn it if kin,
And how do I begin?"
Casually with the verb amour
Amherst said smiling, at is your
First lesson, the verb "to love" it
means"
about that sure I don't know beans"
Laughed Tad, "but I'm goin' to some
time"
81 hope you will" said Amherst with
a smile like chime.
"And wot's DEATH" asked Tad and
his profile was shaded
By the red sun over Riverside as it
faded.

But I hone you won't. Pat"
| "Well. Pm wit ye in that wen shells

On'y we're goin' to do sumpin else

Amherst started un with Pat after.
And I followed their rich boyish
laughter
As they clattered downstairs;
While my ewes filled unawares.
| watched them march shoulder to
shoulder
And the twilight grew darker and
colder.
