then the old gentleman rabbit wished
he hadn't. and so would you II you had

squeezed out Of his channels waistcoat.
Well, after that was over Billy Bun

the old gentleman rabbit pulled his
coat collar down and his trousers up,
for one of his suspender buttons had
come off and Uncle Lucky couldn't find
it, altho he looked everywhere for 1t.

busted the snow off his old wedding
stovepipe hat. 81 was never so mussed

he waved his antlers and then he shut
the door, for the Luckysnomobile was
kicking up lot of snow dust, and it
blew right into the little log cabin. and
Mr.. Buck didn't want to have to sweep

dition remains 70 plague ". While y
is true that the places OF : million men
could be filed from other Industries II


there were no other draft upon our
man power than the taking OF a million
men for the army, But that is only
the beginning Of it. War munition
contracts are calling for the labor Of at
least Ave million men more. Howard
Coffin announces that his department
alone will expend in money value for
lyinc machines In six months four
times as much as was spent on the Pam
ANA canal in four wears, fully as much
as is being spent in the automobile in
dustrN in one year and the automobile
industry has become the third largest
industry in the United States. Mr.
Hurley is asking congress for permits
sion to DO as much in building ships as
Coffin is trying to do in flying ma
chimes That means eight to ten Pan
anna canals for labor TO dig in the next
six months. Then there are all the
other munitions besides.
In the face OF this sudden demand
for the labor OF men the war has shut
off the immigration OF million work
ers per wear and the farms are asked
to produce IS per cent in excess o!
normal times. While it may be true
that less than million men have
actually been removed from industry
and # that we're all the shortage would
not be serious 1t transpires that this
million has not only quit work so as TO
fight but five million have gone to
work supplying war material, one
million have quit coming into the
country to find work and all industry
is expected to speed up 25 per cent
which would add a new demand for
about nine million more Thus we have
new work enough for sixteen million
which produces an overload of As per
cent for the original crew to carry.
This is all theory, too, but it IS fast
becoming condition. REIMBURSEMENT
must follow which means that women
must enter As extra hands and WORK
must cease on everything that can
wait until the war Is over. There may
he almost as many workers as there
ever was. hence no shortage. but there
is new demand for a tremendous
amount Of overtime.

KILLING WAS JUSTIFIED.

Convict coddlers will no doubt throw
I'D their hands in horror over the
shooting of a vicious prisoner by
guard at the Fl. Madison prison Mon
day. It would not be surprising II
some of them took steps to have the
guard indicted for murder in the first
degree.
The man killed Monday was. in prison
parlance, a bad actor" He had made
repeated threats to kill guards; In fact,
was serving time, in addition TO the
crime for which he was originally COM
mitted. for assaulting a guard at the
Anamosa reformatory.

the president believes, and all pa
trtots believe that we an only JUSTIFY
our entrance into this war by fighting
Il thru. Germany will not propose any
terms excepting those OF victor and
we must reduce her from victory to
defeat. The kaiser will talk little
differently when he is feeling upward
for the ground President Wilson is
bearing the greatest responsibilities

doing his work grandly.
