Staggering along an alley, nearly
bending double under the heavy ash

bowed beneath the weight, came an
old colored man, his clothes white

He reached the street, put down Lis

An inaugural visitor began a con-

the quaint views upon the subject

Nah names Thomas Jefferson"
responded the old man.

SKIPMOBTLE BAN
BOTHERS TAKOMA
CounciImen of Park Suburb
Coldly Adhere to Ordinance
Aimed at Riddles.

Sweet songbirds may trill their
blithesome roundelays all day long
and the frogs may take up the musI-
cal refrain at night, but in spite of
these signs of spring the hearts of
Takoma Park kiddies are sad.
And all because the stern town
fathers have brutally decided to en-
force the ordinance banning coast
ing in wheeled vehicles with metal
tires" on the new concrete streets.
The ordinance was passed last fall
over a storm of protest from tie
parents of children who were won't
to "skipmobile" and otherwise coast
over the streets, and for a while the
staid municipality was torn with
strife.
Petitions were signed by hundreds
of parents asking repeal of the
ordinance, and the Takoma Park Citi-
zens' Association formally supported
these appeals.
Then winter came, and the coast
ing kiddies put one over" on the
town fathers by pouring water on
the streets and using sleds.
The ordinance finally was for
gotten. Some daring kiddies re-
Gently started in to coast again,
with wagons and "skipmobiles."
Application for repeal OF the ordi-
nance has been reposing in the files
of the ordinance committee, which
last night reported adversely. Coun-
Gilman Wade w. Dyar, chairman, and
Councilman II. E. Rogers presented
written report, while Councilman
B. B. Jenkins, third member of the
committee, favored limiting the
coasting to certain hours.
Councilman Dyar suggested the
employment of a special officer to en-
force the ordinance. Everybody ga
cept Mayor WILLIAMS and CounSil-
man Tan seemed to be in favor OF
letting the ordinance stand.
1t was suggested that a uniform be
purchased for Superintendent OF
Public works E. E. Blodgett, a warm
advocate Of the ordinance.
Meanwhile the community is walt
ing to see what the next step in the
merry war will be.
Sentiment is decidedly In favor OF
the kiddies.

LET'S CUT OUR FEEDS-QUIT
TALKING AND PRACTICE DEEDS
NAME OF OWNER

On Tuesdays now we eat no meat,
on Wednesdays cut out all the wheat;
on Thursday bake instead of buy the
children's bread and cake and pie.
The wife has cut out all her clubs and
stays home now to wash the duds, no
longer do the children chew the ener-
waiting pepsin cuds. We go to church
each Sabbath morn, no longer toot the
auto horn; and while it's true we soft
ly sleep the sermon through we also
weep for those misguided sinners lost
who fail to share the dread wars cost.
We've got the habit fixed so strong,
that when the basket comes along, we
shut our eyes and save dime to send
to Sammy on the line, to keep him fit
and brave and strong. Conserving
seems to be the rage, it's printed big
on every page; and suppose it must
be right for US at home too old to
fight to feed the actors on the stage;
but why not check the flowing to help
our soldiers win their goal; why buy
cigars and coffin nails AT a waste
like this our gizzard quails. We ought
to cut out two plunk feed, a square
meals all our stomach needs; why
dope ourselves win mayonnaise, why
copy fashions silly ways, let's quit our
words and practice deeds.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1917-12-13

situation allows but even with al the
conservation made we are still unable
to load over 400, 900 tons of foodstuffs
urgently required by the Allies during
the month of December alone.
Statements of the above character
given out for the personal interest are
in little accord with the spirit being
shown by millions of homes in tho
United States in an endeavor to aid
the food administration in its task Of
feeding our own soldiers abroad ~
well as stabilizing prices to our peo-
pie.
"No more foolish or unpatriotic ut
terances has been made than the state
ment referred to. In the critical sit
uation of the worlds food supply to-
day opposition to the governments
conservation measures is an action
comparable to the opposition to the
draft because by any failure in saving
food means direct and immediate loss
of life aside from serious interference
with our war service in the feeding Of
our Allies. =

SOME FACTS ABOUT WAR
INSURANCE

Any man or woman of any age in
the active military or naval service
Of the United States can obtain Gov
ernment insurance. 1t has been ruled
that members of Officers Training
Camps are under the act and can OBJ
tain insurance. The cost for each
thousand dollars of insurance is from
sixty-five cents a month to persons at
he age of twenty-one to one dollar and
twenty cents a month to those of the
age of fifty-one.
The beneficiaries are limited to wife,
husband, child, grandchild, brother or
sister, stepbrother or stepsister, adopt
ed brother or adopted sister of the
insured, as well as parent, grandpar-
ent or stepparent either Of the insur-
ed or of his or her consort.
The insurance is not compulsory,
but the cost is low and the protection
great, and not only are all persons eli
gible afforded every opportunity to OBJ
tain this insurance without trouble or
extra expense but they are specially
urged to do SO.
Gen. Pershing and thousands of
other officers and tens Of thousands of
soldiers have already taken out insur-
ance. Up to date policies Of insur-
ance have been issued aggregating
1902, 1898, 900.
