WORK SIX DAYS A WEEK

Washington, D. c., May 81, 1918
The Negro farm demonstration
agents of Alabama at a recent meet
ing at Tuskagee Institute started
campaign that they hope will put an
especially among farmers of observ-
end to the old custom in the South.
especially among farmers, of observ-
ing Saturday or part of it as holi-
day. They formed an organization
known sthe Omitted States Satur-
day League" and in cooperation with
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture are urging farmers and
farm laborers throughout the South
to work six days in every week to
meet the war need for food and
feedstuffs.
In furthering the movement the
league is issuing posters, registration
cards, and service badges. Upon be-
coming member, farmer or farm
worker is registered and receives a
service badge inscribed with the let
ters ~. S. S. S. L." All members
who work at least six Saturdays are
given another badge with a silver
field and gold letters At the end of
the crop year, November 80, all
members who have worked twenty
one Saturdays receive badge with
a gold field and silver letters.
It will be no easy task to change
the practice of Saturday holidays,
the demonstration agents say, but to
allow it to exist when hundreds of
thousands of the best laDorers are
leaving the farms is nothing less
than criminal" The demonstrators
appeal for the cooperation of farm
ers, landlords, and merchants, in ad-
dition to the farm workers.
One of the posters issued by the
league says:
Sunday: Rest and keep it Holy.
Monday: Work.
Tuesday: Work!
Wednesday: Work!
Thursday: Work!
Friday: Work!

The Kaiser and Won Iirpitz.

The old story about the good part
ner who would really love to be kind
to everybody If it were not for the
bad partner is paralleled by the
kaiser and his grand admiral, Won
Tirpitz.
The. kaiser glorifes the German
people, Nthe German army, himself and
the German God and exults nightly
in German power. Such oratory is
appropriate to a war lord, but some
thing else Is needed. Tirpitz is the
boy to finish the job.
Germany is ruined, he walls; the
whole western world despises her.
British might is mightier than ever on
the sea; Germany's colonies are gone;
she will be bankrupted by the CONNER
cial league against her after the war;
Mesopotamia is overrun. and so on
through weller of grief
Such talk is not becoming to an
emperor, and neither is it convenient
-l4 ~ g.npeIor whose government is
I> .-i.a--Hg d peace without annexa-
tons ana lndemnities to draw the OBJ
yious conclusions. These. according
to Tirpitz. are that Germany must
have indemnities, securities and in
crease of power to avoid ruin. The
security and increase of power, of
course, mean Belgian seacoast and
French mines. 1t is fine system.
Through it the German people are
made to feel that nothing CAN with
stand them. That is the emperor's
share. Then Tirpitz makes them feel
that unless they exact all of their
power and take all they can get they
will be worse than defeated.

Annulling Trains.

One Of the first moves that Mr.. Nc
Adoo is to make is to annul numbers
Of passenger trains, thus serving a
double purpose in saving both power
and fuel. For instance, it is claimed
that five trains leave daily for the
same city in the same hour from one
Chicago station. Under the McAdoo
plan 1t is likely that three of these
trains will be abandoned. Before the
railroads passed under government
control to have suggested such a re-
duction in service would have brought
a loud howl from the public, but now
that your Uncle Samuel says that it
must be done we've all got to submit
without saying a word in protest.

New Years

Rock Island had New Years
eve, far different .. what it had
been in previous years when there
was no restraint put upon the cele-
brants. The crowds in the cafes were
orderly, for such an occasion; the
bowling street mobs that We used to
see were not in evidence, and every
where there was manifest DISPOSE
ton to keep within reasonable bounds.
There was the customary influx from
neighboring communities OF those
bent on big blow, but they put on
the brakes when they saw that it was
to be an orderly night, although there
was no purpose to prevent those so
desiring TO enjoy themselves. The II
o'clock closing order was generally
observed, although drinking places in
the loop we're permitted to overlap the
regulations trife to accommodate
those who insisted that they could not
sleep If they went home so early on
New Years eve The police had the
quietest New Years eve in the history
of the city.

All is Changed.

IL there were no war what would
occupy us now? So much has the
great preoccupation borne itself in
upon us it becomes all but impossible
for the imagination to reconstruct
the material Of life as but for this
1t would be. Yet we can imagine
that smaller foreign preoccupations
such as Japan and Mexico, would fill
in the background, while the fore
ground was crammed with gainful oc-
cupation, market reports and the like
and cublsm and new religious move
ments and newer stage and road
sters and athletic and sporting activ-
ity filled up the middle ground
Some Of the peace time interests
languish, while others lie stone cold,
observes the New York Sun. Freak
art turned out one of the most perish
able. War, strange to say, has put a
quietus upon the sensational novel
ties of the religious world: one might
have expected that it would start new
sects. Perhaps some of us have lost
patience with posing and theOrizing
and see no merit in anything but
poise and shrewdness.
Many of the mental trinkets Of the
peace time life used to come from the
other side, there being no tariff on
imports of ideas or even of nonsense.
We now forego that source of supply,
but hardly can We be said to miss it,
so little does the loss affect US. In
matters such as baseball, where this
country is her own arbiter, interest
survives more vigorously than among
our exotic fancies.
Days are not duller for most men
and women than before; they are
fuller and more stirring. Though
they may thus dim the other days,
other days and their ways should not
be forgotten. II is not that we need
fear losing the habits OF peace; rather
are these likely to benefit by correc-
ton from the earnestness, the self
control and the sobrieiy OF wars Gus
toms Of thought. A reminder we do
require from peace days. as a means
TO checking up the alteration accom-
plished, and above all as restraint
against foolish obsessions and blind
omissions. How far and how wisely
has each one put ais own life on q
war basis?

Building is Light-Indirec tly. the
world war affected Davenport build
ing operations during 1917. This is
the tale of the permit book in the
Office of Building Commissioner Ralph
c. Graham in the city hall. The high
prices of material, caused more or less
indirectly by the war, and the scarcity
and independence of labor-due al
most directly to the war-caused a
shrinkage of over $4,000 in building
operations for 1917 as compared to-
the year before.

A Few Suggestions.

DR.. Anna Howard Shaw. chairman
OF the woman's committee of the coun-
Gil OF national defense, has suggested
that every woman in America adopt
the following 10 commandments for a
New Years resolution:
Do not chatter. Keep to yourself
the news you hear.
Do not listen to alarmists or slack
ers.
Be moderate in your spending,
neither lavish IN your gifts nor sordid
in your economies.
Encourage national industries,
avoiding imported ones.
Do not look upon the departures for
the front of those dear to you as an
abandonment. Be with them con-
stantly in thought. as they are with
you, particularly in the hour of dan
ger.
Do not complain Of the difficulties,
the war
Multiply your activities in your
home as we'll as outside.
Exhibit day by day and hour by
ho1ir the same courage a man shows
uDon the field of battle
No matter how long the struggle
may last, await victory with strength
and patience.
II you are stricken in your dearest
affections bear your sorrow nobly that
your tears may be worthy of the hero
whose death you mourn.
. The suggestion is excellent. Inc
dentally most Of the same suggested
commandments might well be OBJ
served by the men who remain at
home. The first four in the list apply
10 men equally as well as to women.
SO do numbers six, seven, eight and
nine.

Parental Cruelty and st. Vitus' Dance.
St. Vitus' dance, so-called because
of some legend about pilgrims dane
ing before a shrine of st. Vitus in
ancient times, is medically known as
chorea, and is one of numerous nerv-
GUS conditions for which the cruelty
and viciousness of certain type Of
school teacher may be held response
ble-the teacher who makes the an
swering of the calls of nature an Of
tense against her dignity.
But the primary cause of chorea is
probably a species of germ, strain
of streptOcoccus, which gains en-
trance to the system via the tonsils
or throat and happens to have an at
finity for nerve tissue, thus lodging
in the spinal cord or some of its
structures. The sequence of sore
throat or tonsillitis and so-called in
f1ammatory rheumatism and chorea is
familiar to parents.
Now when a little one develops
chorea, there is usually irritability,
peevishness and unusual nervousness,
and gradually a noticeable twitching
and jerking, with emotional disturb
ance, crying over trifles. Here, it
would seem, is a state of affairs which
ought to inspire tender solicitude on
the part of parents, at least. On the
nYt 10 in
spire the opposite feeling. All over
the land are parents right now inflict-
ing cruel and harmful treatment on
little victims of st. Vitus' dance. Not
wilfully, but carelessly. For some
reason this particular disease inspires
in any but intelligent or, educated
parents a desire to experiment upon
the ailing child with anything and
everything the neighborhood pleases
to recommend Worse than that,
some parents are SO lost to-all sense
of responsibility that they write off
to some rascally charlatan who pur,
ports to have a remedy or cure fol
the disease, and proceed to subject
the unfortunate child to the panacea
! irrespective of any individual circum-
stances favOring or opposing tne pro-
! cedure.
In chorea, Just as in so-called in
| fammatory rheumatism-acute infec-
tious anthritis-there is always a
chance of involvement of heart valves
by the streptococcus and permanent
heart disease as a result This is one
important reason for the constant SUE
pervision Of good doctor; he watches
the heart at every visit, aud counsels
rest or other measures accordingly.
Chorea lasts for weeks or months.
1t invariably proceeds to ultimate re-
c0very II the child - intelligently
J treated by competent physician.
