RED CROSS SEALS

In preparation for its Christmas
drive 60O, 900, 600 Red Cross Christmas
Seals are now being printed, accord
ing to an announcement made by the
National tuberculosis Association
from it's headquarters in New York
City this morning. This is by far the
greatest number ever issued and the
objective in view is at least TO double
last years sale, which is shown by a
tabulstion now completed, totaled oy-
er IFS, ,0O0, 900 or 60 per cent more than
in any year previous.
Owing to new problems directly or
indirectly due 10 the war, the pres
ent announcement points out, the de
mands upon the national state and
local anti-tuberculosis associations
have greatly increased and additional
funds sufficient 10 deal with those
problems along curative and preyen,
tatiye lines must be secured For such
funds the association are dependent
chiefely upon the income derived from
the sale of the Red Cross Christmas
seals, under a cooperative arrange
arrangement by which the American
Red Cross allows the proceeds to be
devoted to the furtheranee Of the
furthersnce of the campaign against
tuberculosis throughout the United
States.
The design OF this years seal made
by Charles A Winter, a New Yerk
artist, is new and timely. linking the
war which America is now waging
with the war against tuberculosit.

MAKE SLACKERS COME ACROSS
Federal Officers Penaiize Seven For
Failing To Aid Certain War Work
and Organizations.

Ottumwa, July 2.-There will be
seven Wapello county farmers waiting
to hand out their hard earned cash the
next time Red Cross or q Salvation
Army committee comes soliciting.

ing, mo, I'm too busy" or Times are

from these seven farmers from He'd
rick and Farson, who were called be-
fore United States Marshal Reed and
Assistant District Attorney Moon Sat-
urday. These men had failed to do
their share in supporting the various
war drives. 1t was not merely that
these men will not do their part, but
because of the fact that the influence
they exercise in the community tends
to disorganize the efforts to carry out
the work of the loyal workers in their
district, that they were given heart
to heart talks by the federal officers.
See the Light.
The men appeared one by one be-
fore Marshal Reid and Judge Moon
and were taken to task for non-support
of the various war charities, and for
failure to subscribe in liberal way
to the governments2 war funds They
were warned to cbtfie ACROSS with the
full amount ailottedoto them in each
call that they had turned down. AZ
ter good deal of argument each man
saw the light more clearly, though it
took considerable persuasion with
some of them.

oLp SHOES OF NINE


Old shoes Of mine-oId knock-a- bouts,
The war, it seems is ageing you.
Until Of late have my doubts
If ever you we're bright and new;
And since the future seems TO hinge
On boots and bullets "oyer there"
Old vamps, you've reached the ragged

OF well night hopeless disrepair.
Old clatter clogs, old pedal pumps,
Your uppers are not up al all.
Your lowers bulge from bunyon

And you are much less great than
small.
Your black is tan, your tan is black,
IL coIors ever graced your prime,
And you have lost your squeaky
squack
Since war has worked you overtime.
Old puddle-skows. old mud canoes.
You list 10 starboard more and

II
Has water-logged you, aft and fore.
The rocks have summarized your souls
The storms have bombed your tops,
kerplunk.
And time has plugged you full Of holes
TIL you are little mors than junk
/ blush 10 tell, old shoes OF mine
How many patches you may claim.
You seem to know cobbler's sign,
And turn By instinct toward the

And half-soles. blast me, don't know,

While pegs. at least q pound Or so,
Are somewhere in your skids, old

And do you know old clover hooks

That shoneth like the negro's heel.
But now, alas, you shineth not
Your heels al best are false alarms.
Your polished toes have gone 10 SOt'
And cluttered up your cozt-yt-arns.
But war is war, old knock-a-b0uts,
And work or fight is now your bit,
So take a brace, old down-and-OutE.
Put on your spikes and hit the grit
You've got TO catch that Kaiser scamp
And chase him back beyond the

So play your tune Of tramp. tramp,

ALLIES IN BETTER SHAPE.

Italy's defeat of Austria means more
than merely raising the morale of the
Allies and lowering that of the enemy.
BY driving the Austrians back across
the Piave, the chance of Austro-Ger-
man domination of the plains of North
ern Italy almost disappears. This sec.
ton OF the country is the great indust-
rial portion of Italy. Twothirds Of
that country's horsepower and in
dustrial population are in this region,
the domination of which by the enemy
would greatly imperil the future OF
Italy, both during and after the war
Had the enemy forces been successful,
Italy would have been more dependent
upon the Allies for food and shipping
than ever; thus aggravating the scar
city against which France and Britain
are now contending. Italy has not only
retrieved the disaster OF last October,
which hastened unity OF the Allies,
but the blow thus administered may
aid in forcing Austria out
OF the war. German political leaders
are again talking peace by indirect
means, and the evidences multiply
that both Germany and Austria are
bitterly under the burdens
Of war. Peace, however. Is not in

Authority for Wide Skirts.

Those who are wearing wide skirts
get their authority from Jeanne Lam
vim, one Of the first designers Of the
world. She is the only dressmaker
who insisted upon the five-yard skirt,
and she held TO her conviction by
turning out dozens of gathered or
plated skirts that hang Imply to the
figure, but are not in keeping with
the narrow silhouette of the day. She
is not unpatriotic. She did not use an
undue amount of wool in these skirts.
She had a few dozen other materials
to handle, and she is quite right In In
sisting that all her organdie skirts
should be five yards at the hem. Moth
ing is more ungainly than q hobble
skirt of muslin or transparent fabric,
but ii is believed that the Americans
In mass will not accept Lanvin's
skirts, as they prefer the redingote
over a slim foundation when they
wish fullness.

POULTRY CONVERT
WASTE INTO FOOD

(By the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
The central thought to be borne in
mind in considering the growing of
more poultry as q war necessity Is the
fact that the keeping of poultry is n
means of converting into good food
materials that cannot be utilized by
man, that cannot be eaten by any 9TH
er kinds of stock, and that without
the poultry, would be absolute waste.
Very clearly, 1t becomes n national as
we'll as an individual duty to keep
enough poultry to take up all such
waste materials. AS long as fowls
take the bulk of their feed from such
| sources and require to be fed on grain
or other garnered feeds only as q fin
ishing process, additional food is being
created.
Careful planning must be done, of
course, to insure the utilization of as
many kinds of waste materials as pos
sible and to avoid overstocking with
any one kind of poultry that would not
be fully fed from the particular kinds
of waste which 1t eats and would,
therefore, require 10 be largely fed
from garnered materials.
Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, Of course, must
take first place. They are best adapt
ed TO general conditions, take a wide
range of feeds and convert them, per-
haps, with the greatest margin of
profit. Chickens, better than any 9th
er class of poultry, utilize table scraps
and the general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings TO sour milk. Chick
ems far surpass all other kinds of poul-
try In salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the shed or lot where the
cattle are fed, and from hog pens. Dur
ing the winter months, on farms where
any considerable number of live stock
are kept. the 100 hens suggested
would make their living from these
sources with only slight additional
feeding from time to time. Chickens
are great destroyerS of insects, includ-
ing many injurious forms, in yard, pas
ture, Snd orchard. They utilize, also,
many grasses and weeds, and seeds
from the same, that would otherwise
be of no use. Except in Isolated in
stances, the part of wisdom would be,
undoubtedly, to keep more chickens
than all other kinds of poultry COM
bined, but there should be, in ma
jority of cases, some of all the other
common kinds of poultry.

Mouth Veil is Latest.

Just to prove that variety is all
that is needed in the world of fashion
to interest femininity, gaze on the new
wells which are designed for afternoon
and evening wear and already show
signs of becoming popular. The new
veil swathes the lower half of the
face. giving the upper half a rest, and
reaches from the tip of the nose to
far below the chin. Smart women are
probably growing tired Of the nose
veil and the veil for the chin and
mouth will doubtless be q welcome
change. The harem veil, which made
Its appearance last summer on the
bathing beaches, suggested the new
one and the designers, disregarding
the original purpose of the beach veil
as a protector from the sun, are US
ing the idea for evening wear. 1t is
never worn with hat and Is tied
about the head like a scarf.
