THE CLOTHING SCARCITY

4, It was reported few days ago that
the British mills are to manufacture an
order of clothing for 2OOO, 900 American
soldiers. This would indicate that our
clothing mills are not able to carry on the
regular work Of spf0duction. for the civil
lar. population and supply tie soldiers
at the same time.
In England they have got to the point.
where no cloth is henceforth TO be made
for civilian use except under permit.
Shall we:come to the same drastic regala-
ton?
Items like these, raise the, question
whether clothing is to be as short with
us as food has BEEN, We have to a con-
siderabel extent met the food scarcity by
the effort to increase crop acreage a:4u
enlist the boy and other labor But the
raw materials Of clothing can not SO cas-
lily be produced in large abundance. 1t
takes time to grow wool from sheep, and
our. flocks are depleted. If we attempt
to raise more cotton, we cut down the
acreage Of food stuffs.
It will take an enormous amount of
clothing to provide everything needed
for our great army Of fighters. Their
various uniforms will wear out quickly
under the conditions of trench fighting.
A great many mills now making civilitn
clothes will have to handle war work.
Facts like these suggest that we are
approaching period Of shortage -
clothing fabrics such az the world has
never seen before. People will 10 less
ashamed Of wearing old clothes, for the
prices TOR new may reach prohihitive
points.

NEWSPAPERS INDISPENSABLE

A draft board at Waterloo, Iowa, is
sued an edict that newspapers reporters
were to appear before its August pres
ence. and skow Why they, should pot en-
eare IN "a essential occupation or be sub
3ect 70 tie draft. The board quickly dis
covered the order, which appeared to
have been due TO- . clerical error:
Secretary Baker took occasion TO make
it clear that news collecting as indispen.
sible work. But man Of draft age could
not claim he was indispensable, II there
were older men who could take his place.
IL there is anyone who thinks reporters
are idlers under the "work or fight" rule,
he should follow them on those frequent
days when their coat tails stick out be-
hind, as they attempt to cover half
dozen events occurring simultaneously
miles apart.
Newspaper reporters are no dodgers
of fighting or any other kind OF duty.
Whatever army service the g0vernnnt
calls them to undertake, will be accepted
very cheerfully. !,
It was of course to be expected that
the Washington authorities would rule
newspaper work as Essential. No war
could be fought with out the cooperation
of the newspapers, to arouse sentiment,
educate the people to the issues involved,
and persuade them to give their coopera-
ton in all war efforts.
War has left its mark in the newspaper
offices. Many thousands of former ru-
NOR chasers are now displaying the same
speed in the pursuit Of the spiked he'll
melted Boche. Their places are often
takn by older men, who had fancied they
had got beyond the cub reporters rou-
tine. The newspaper reporter is an alert
and resourceful fellow. He will get af-
ter the Hun with lot Of vigor and fight
with his had as well as his gun.

VOTE ON PROHIBITION

When congress agreed to take mid
summer recess, an agreement was made
that prohibition should be voted upon as
soon as the two houses reconvened or as
soon thereafter as possible. Some time
ago it appeared probable that the country
would be dry during the remainder of
the war, and we are not certain there
has been any change in sentiment among
the senators and representatives. The
question of revenue cuts some figure;
how much we do not know. It is safe to
SAY, however, that if prohibition is beat
en- it will on account of the great need
for money for the purpose Of carrying on
the war and the comparatively easy way
opened for its collection by putting an
lextremely heavy TAX upon intoxicating
liquors Of all kinds. The moral side Of
the question is not considered when this
point Of view is taken. The prohibition
\ lists in congress are quite confident of
victory and have been forcing the issue,
while their Opponents have been playing
for time. If the prohibitionists succeed,
the country. will be dry for all time. to
come, for, by the time the end of he Var
comes, unless all signs fail, ee-fourths
Of the. state legislatures will have rattle
the constitutional amendment ana The
whole matter will be set at rest. The
fate of the suffrage amendment is still
in the balance, but we are beginning to
believe the senate will pass the resolu-
ton in the course of the next few weeks.

1t has been discovered that tur-
tie eggs are most excellent food
for the human being-but the
trouble is in finding the nests.
Teach your turtles to cackle-
then the nests can be found easier.
That is why a chicken and chick
en- eggs are so popular. When a
hen lays an egg she advertises the
fact by cackling loud enough to
knock the bark off the trees. It's
different with a duck or turtle
hence the little demand for their
eggs. 1t surely pays to advertise
according to the story told by
the school boy.

FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1918

All of the committee appointed
here to boost Liberty bond sales
did remarkably we'll and deserve
much credit for the success at
tanned. To Mrs. lola Geizentan-
ner belongs the credit for having
received more subscriptions (out-
side of the banks) than any of
the others -her list of subscrip-
tions totaling $4,000. Next is T.
F. Schaecher, the druggist, with
about $4,000. Mrs. Geizentanner
feels particularly proud of being
able to induce Johnson Boyd, a
patriotic old Indian residing near
the Meadow creek church, to sub
scribe for a $50 bond.

Kind Words of announcement

Several friends of the Chronicle
handed us the following notice
with request that we publish it.
While it has never been our in
clination to "toot our own horn
too loud-no matter how strong
the temptation-it is always en-
couraging to an editor to know
that his work is appreciated and
that his paper has been able to
help along worthy cause. Fol
lowing is the article:
Referring to the splendid sue
cess of the people of Cottonwood
and vicinity in being the first in
Idaho county to go lover the top"
in the present Liberty loan drive
the Chronicle, in it's modesty,
gives credit to everybody else but
the Chronicle. And they surely
are deserving of credit-every one
who bought bonds and assisted in
any way to bring about this most
pleasing result. But the fact
should not be overlooked that the
Chronicle is also entitled to some
credit for the vigorous part the
paper has taken in helping to raise
our quota this time.
1T will be remembered what a
pitiful failure the first Liberty
bond campaign here was, and the
second was not much better. In
fact the second loan would have
been almost an utter failure also
had it not been for our banks
coming to the rescue.
"The Chronicle, from it's first
issue under the new management,
has kept pounding away every
week hammer and tongs-en-
couraging patriotism and unmer-
cifully scoring disloyalty. 1t has
in the most vigorous language
pointed out the necessity of stand
ing behind the government in all
of its war activities, and that the
best way to help in this great cri-
sis was to buy Liberty bonds and
savings stamps and contribute
literally to the Red Cross.
Therefore, there can be no
question or doubt that the Chron-
icle is entitled to good share of
credit for helping to convert many
Of our people into the right way
Of thinking about these matters,
and in redeeming the good name
that our community is entitled
to-"
