BY WILLIAM A. RADFoRD

This year, many farmers and suburb
antics who have hitherto gone about
their spring repairs as matter of
course, will perhaps delay before get
ting them under way to ask "Will it
pay?" The unprecedented scarcity of
labor and the unusually high prices
of nearly all kinds of building mate
rails WILL no doubt, suggest to many
the ACCESSIBILITY of postponing the
usual improvements to a later time.
AS matter of fact nothing could be
more shortsighted and contrary to
every principle of sound management
and economy.
While building materials of many
kinds are, undoubtedly, higher in
price than they have been in many
years, there is every reason to believe
that they will mount still higher. AS
the war goes on, the available supplies

Another figure has gone, never TO
return: the dancing, bowling, frog-eat-
ing Alphonse, the very opposite in
every particular to the real Frenchman
we have come to know, whose very
name is the personiication of yalor.
Giuseppe, he of the organ and mon
key, with a stiletto in his belt and a
plate of macaroni in the near dis
lance, is displaced by bold Alpini
fighting in the clouds, or a dashing,
gallant Bersegliere defending his coun-
try to the last drop of his blood.
There is a parsonage nearer home
that we must be prepared to lose,
BIistah Johnston, the Darktown coon.
He is no more. Gradually there has
appeared in his place a stern young
American, trained and alert, musket
in hand. There is no hyphen to his
name. His forefathers were Africans,
but he is loyal United States.
When the colored troops marched
down Fifth avenue for the last time
before going to France, the newspa-
pers reported that they were given a
"tumuItuous ovation" AS a matter of
fact, there was little cheering The
dense masses shat lined the sidewalks
and filed the windows and overhang-
ing balconies looked on in growing
wonder. Here and there a patter of
gloved hands or bravo" was
drowned in the beat of drums and the
tramp of many feet. The sight of the
long, long line of khaki-clad figures
marching like clock-work the strange
grim faces that might have been cast
in bronze-eyes straight ahead, with
not a side glance or a CLEAN of white
teeth; company after company led by
smart, soldierly colored officers, al
on their way to the battlefront, was
too awe-inspiring for noise. The
crowds gave them the deeper homage
of breathless surprised silence. They
came to applaud Mistah Johnston and
beheld in his place bold warrior who
commanded their respect and admira-
ton.

EXPOSE EVERY ONE
BY HARRY v. MARTIN
of the Viuijantes.

While we are at it, reporting Ger
man spies to the federal government,
why not go little further and give
your local food administrator the
names of those grocers and butchers
who are charging more for their goods
than they should? BY helping to
force up the cost of living, already
deucedly high, these petit larceny
profiteers, although waving the Amer
lean flag at every opportunity. are
really helping the kaiser. Their safe
ty lies in the fact that they are too
insignificant to come under the notice
of investigators employed by Uncle
Sam.
Here is your opportunity, Mr.. or
Mrs. or Miss Citizen. A chance to air
that detective instinct that is within
us all. A very good way of "doing
your Bit" and one that is bound to be
appreciated. 1t stands to reason that
the food administrator in your town
and county has his hands full taking
care of the big things. Give him a
lift by appointing yourself, this very
instant, as one of his assistants to fer
ret out the meanest men and women
in all the world, the criminals who
see in the war chance to get rich
quick at the expense of their own
countrymen.
