Even Alfred Noyes' "Organ with

war. Where but few months ago
the wheezy music box walled forth

waltz, or disturbed our peace with a
heavy Wagnerian rhapdosy, our ears
| measures of Where Do We Go From
Here, or we unconsciously fall into
step before the martial beat of LA

lanes, whose once-fair land is raw
aged by strife grinds away with the
same monotony as he did of old. and
| ms absure little monkey with his
| crimson coat, and braided cap set
| askew over his twinkling eyes, hops
around with his Unsuitable demand for

LUXURIES.
In review of 1917 from a newspa-
| per viewpoint, published in one of the
leading publishers journals, the pre-
dlctlon is made by one of the fore
| most advertising experts in the
country that advertising of Injuries
| will decrease in 1913, while regular"
| advertising will increase, and is in
| creasing.
In this connection it is interesting
to note the affect of the war on lux
| uries. 1t is not to be denied that the
war has levelled classes, has in
large measure done away with the
! absurdpam pering and laziness of
some, but curtailment of Injuries is
| vet to be shown. Beyond doubt
up entirely, but conversely there are
many others who were just beginning
to feel the grip of the soft fingers Of
great wealth, when this country en-
tered the war, and while periodically
supporting the government, they do
not intend to be denied the right to
buv all their riches command
1t was Emerson who said, "Give
me the Injuries of life. and I will do
without the necessities, and it is
upon this theory that many are pro-
war London's night life. a luxurious
parasite of wealth, is more brilliant
than ever. Paris is soberer, her
trials have been greater, but even so,
Paris is coming back.
There is nothing unpatriotic about
it. Free circulation of money in
times of pressing need is highly es-
sential Waste is the greater of
tense, and while threatres and ca
barets, symbolizing luxury, are not
necessary, they serve to maintain the
morale at home without which de-
lenses at the front would be useless.
To exist, day after day, hanging
breathless on the outcome of the
struggle, with the months lengthen-
ing into years, those at home, lacking
the activity and excitement of those
in the trenches, without mental slim
illus or diversion, would become worn
and crushed beneath the intolerable
burden.
Economy is imperative, but not by
bread alone does man live, and some
thing other than physical sustena1ce
is necessary if we are to win the
war, and at the same time preserve
the institutions for which we are
fighting.

Red River Cannot Be Seined.

After reading the new fish law,
we learn that there is a mistaken
version of the law as it pertains to
catching fish with seine, nets etc.
This law applies only to navigable
streams in the state, consequently
it is not lawful to so fish in Red
river. So get your pole and line
and hike to the river and dispel
your ambition to return to the seine
and nets. The Times thinks there
would be more fish if it did, as some
people will dynamite the river when
not allowed to fish with nets.

Y. M. c. A. War Work Council.

In their fight against the Kaiser,
American soldier boys under shell
fire in France are being given all
possible comfort and assistance, ac-
cording to an announcement Just
received here from the National
War Work Council of the Y. Nj. G..
A. At the present time there are
more than $50 American Y. NJ. G..
A. secretaries under shell fire.
These men have been with Perish
ing's troops from the time they
landeg on foreign soil.
A total of 100000 is being ex-
pended monthly by the Army Y.
NJ. G.. A. in its work for the Amer
lean troops at home and abroad.
There are $500 Y. NJ. G. A. work
ers in France and England and
1900 in American camps.
Because of the increasing need
for men in this service and the force
necessary to operate the entire can
teen system in France, efforts are
being made to enroll at least ZOO
more business and professional men
of high standing who are willing to
90 to France for every kind of Y.
M. c. A. service before July |.
1t is estimated that 5000, 900
feet of film are being exhibited
weekly to the soldiers at home and
abroad. A recent shipment of ath-
letic equipment for the troops in
France consisted of 1860 base
balls, 10000 bats, 10000 gloves
and mitts, boxing gloves, volley
balls, and various other kinds of
apparatus for promoting the play
spirit among the troops in their
leisure nOurS.
The Y. NJ. G.. A. has established
a chain of huts and dugouts along
the front lines occupied by Ameri-
can troops cover there and is
meeting the needs of the Sammies
as they take their places alongside
their Allies. The Y. NJ. c. A huts
on the Russian front have been de-
molished by German guns and the
$50 secretaries there have retired
before the advance of the Huns and
are now established in Siberia
awaiting an opportunity to return
10 Russia.

The outlook is good for a bump

estimates now reaching one billion

is a record yield. Such a Weld, if
raalized, will give biscuits for all

effect on the supply of flour is al

ing able now to get a great deal
more flour than few weeks ago.
But still, to do this, they must buy

If there are any farmers in the
county needing help they can get
boys from Is to II years from the
club organization designed to sup
ply such need. On the other hand
if there are any boys in the county
wanting such employment they
should let Postmaster ORear know
of it. The Boys Working Reserve
is designed to Systematically sup
ply farm help where it is needed.
If you get boy that does not suit,
you can return him. And by the
way, boys from l6 to 2l often
make the very best hands on the
farm. At any rate the project is
worth trying.

At Stanton Saturday bids to
build three miles of road in the
county were accepted. \. b. Nc
Donald and associates will build
the east mile of the survey above
Stanton, and J. +. Burgher will
build the first two miles west of
Clay City. The price is the same
for all construction work as the
contract with Harris & Myers which
was rccinded few weeks ago notwith-
standing the advance in price of la
Dor, material and machinery. Work
is to begin on the lower job within
ten days from signing contract and
be completed by August lst. Work
on the eastern section is to begin
within sixty days and be completed
by January 1st. 1t was the desire
of the court to let out all the l miles
approved for construction and Of
fered it in one mile sections so that
local people could handle it, but
only two of them made bids. The
people of the county cannot COM
plain of the price, for bids were
open to all and cut up into sections
that barred no one from taking a
contract if they wanted to.

28 More U-Boats
In Hands of Allies

HARWICH, England, Nov. 25.-
In the presence of Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord of the admiralty, twenty
eight more German U-boats surren-
dered today. This was the most inn
posing flotilla to haul down the Gers
man flag thus far. It included sew
eral very large submarines and four
of the cruiser type, one being nearly
$50 feet in length.
The noted cruiser submarine, the
Deutschland U-153, was among the
number. She carried two American
officers who had been rescued from
the American army cargo carrier Ii
conderoga, torpedoed September 30th
last. The officers were taken to Kiel
oy the Deutschland, which was return
ing from a three months cruise in
American waters, and were landed at
Harwich.
