THE WORST TROUBLE.MAKER.

Last Saturday night in many towns housewives were going from grocery to grocery in search of a pound of sugar There wasn't saloon that night where beer was not on tap. This business of saving by the spoonful and wasting by the cask is getting on the nerves of law abiding people They would not say or do thing which would make ! the task of the government ore diffi- cult, but they believe that the one thing in which are concentrated trouble of food administration. troubles O. transportation, troubles of fuel supply, troubles of labor. troub es of army dis cipline is the traffic in liquors. No douht the trade will bully senators and Representatives, and MT. Penrose and MT Reed will, fguratively speaking, hold their pistoIs to MT Wilson head if he ventures to use the power Con- gress has given him to establish abso- lnte war time prohibition. but they won't pull the trigger. The people ex pect the President to acc without fear They are telling him so every day
 Our correspondent in Northern New AOlh lIldb III SOm0 villages union services will be necessary to save fuel A press dispatch from Washing ton suggests that the public schools in the Northern States be closed through Jannary and February for the same reason. Yet the brewery chinneys are belching coal smoke, waving the black banner of waste from their stacks. Churches and schools may economize but we may as we'll face the fact that the liquor business wilt shake its fits in the face of the public, will brow beat Congress and the President before it will desist from its waste of labor, grain, coal, trucks, cars and ships It flies the flag, but its illinitable selfish ness Knows no love of country which conflicts with its business We have heard of scores of manufacturers who have placeed their plants at the nations disposal, but not one brewer Say what they may, they serve Germany's in terests, and they ought to be dealt with like any "tner public enemy.

RAIN PREVENTS
ESCORTING
The Two SeIective Soldiers Taken to
the Morning Train in the Auto
mobile of Sheriff
Scott.

Although the city council, the Elks
and other citizens had planned to es-
cort the two selectives, Hugh Ryland
and Charles Ferrelo, to the train this
morning the rain prevented the pro-
cession from forming.
The departure of the two men for
Camp Dodge at o'clock was quiet
one. Sheriff John c. Scott, head of the
Lee county exemption board, took the
selectives to the train in his car. It
was a disappointment to the patriotic
citizens that the plan of the jarade
had to be abandoned, but many good
wishes went with the departing sol.
diers Just the same.

The rather heavy rain this morn

other city crops are harvested, gener-
ally, but it it did lot Of good to the
lawns and the trees by washing off
the leaves and moistening the ground.
There was just enough rain to
make the farmer joyful. Winter
seems to be approaching to find the
soil water plentiful and everything
about right.
Incidentally, rain laying the dust
has much to do with prev cnting the
spread of communicable diseases, for
the germs travel on minute grains of
dust through the atmosphere as their
most common means Of motion.
