so that the funds owing those having
war contracts may be utilized by the
industries of the country to speed
their transition from a war to a
peace basis.
1t was also agreed unanimously
that there should be a prompt liqui-
dation of raw war materials or fin
ished product to prevent a too violent
dislocation of industries from the
standpoint OF both employe and en-
ployer. The purpose is to insure the
stability OF the Industries affected.
The Congress with great unanimity
declared in favor of the removal of
restrictions on industry, and govern
ment officials who attended the con-
ventlon gave assurance of the purpose
to promptly disband war boards and
commissions and annul war restric-
tions.
To Protect Industry
An important decision also was a
recommendation to provide for the
protection of industries which have
been developed during the war per-
iod. Throughout the conference
llcIt was COHSNduL ul1utFCuTFtnl
in favor of industrial cooperation
and a spirit of give and take between
labor and capital. The letter and
spirit of the principles of the indus
trial creed enunicated by John D..
Rockefeller. Jr., were unanimously
approved by the Congress.
Governor elect Sproul., who was in
Atlantic City for a few hours yes
terday on his way home from Lake
wood, expressed special qualification
with the action of the convention in
favor of the development of public
works of every sort in order that
opportunities of employment may be
created for unskilled labor. There
was practically no dissent from the
favorable report in favor of the inn
mediate return to their owners of
all railroads, cables and other public
utilities. A definite declaration
against government ownership and
operation of telephone. telegraphs,
and cables was made by rising vote
of every one of the several thousand
delegates.
1t was n great constructive and
earnest body of men and its work Will
ramify into every part of the coun-
try inaFmuch as the question: dis
cussed and the conclusions reached
affect capitalist and workingman
alike. Cooperation was the keynote

''The German kaiser is not the su-

The cabman Knew Him.

During lecture tour through the
United States Sir Conan Doyle arrived
one day in Boston and was consider
ably astonished when a cabman ac-
costed him and addressed him by
name. SLOW did you know who was?"
said Sir Conan Doyle, much interest
ed, and not little flattered by the
recognition.
'If you'll excuse me saying &c." said
the cabman, ''the lapels of your coat
look as If they had been grabbed by
New York reporters, your hair looks
as If 1t had been cut in Philadelphia,
your hat looks as IL you had had to
stand your ground In Chicago, and

CAUGHT SPIRIT OF OCCASION
coIored Porter Meant That Eagle
Should Shine in Celebration Of
American Victory.

1t happened after the news that the
allied forces were chasing the army
of the crown prince. There was great
rejoicing on the steps Of the CUSTOM
house building. Everybody was shak-
ing the hand Of everybody else. The
man who had never before been known
to lose his dignity was pulling the hair
of the office boy and whooping It up
generally.
All Of which was at first rather in
comprehensive to the colored porter
of the building. He didn't know Just
what it was all about, but 1t looked
good to him, nevertheless. Finally, he
seemed to 'get" it. With the agility
of a cat he climbed one of the ped
estals at the front Of the building.
On the top is bronze globe, with a
spread eagle over 1t. Hanging pre-
cariously on the ledge, the negro pull
ed a grimy cloth out of one pocket
and can of paste out Of another.
Then with vim and vigor that had
never before characterized any Of his
actions he began polishing away at the
eagles head. While he polished he
talked:
ooh, lady, lady, we're goin' make
you shine! Oh, lady, that shine'll take
the eyes out dem Germans! Oh, lady,
that head O. your'n is goin' a be some
bright"
And the other celebrants stopped to
cheer him.-New York Times.

1t is probable that this vetera1
thought as a young soldier, after carj
paigning from Vera Cruz to the city
Of Mexico under the leadership d
Gen. Winfield Scott, that the Mexicat
war was a good deal of war. It Il
likely, also, after serving as an al

paigns from 81 to '65, that he though,
the civil war was about the bigges

Bravery and Buttons.

s'When I was in the ranks" Johns
second lieutenant tells him (John Ed
ward Martin is the recruit hero of
%The Single Star" by Capt. F. D..
Grierson), "our crowd was inspected
by famous general. When he'd look
ed at every badge and button he said !:
Lads, remember that the biggest
dandy makes the best soldiery What
he meant was that the man who takes
pride in himself and keeps himself
smart whether he's on parade or
square-pushing round the town-that
mans going to be the fellow you can
rely on when bother happens. Clean
ing buttons may seem all d. nom
sense to man who's come out to
fight for his country, but it's not. It's
just one of the little things that help
to make up the big things-and the
big things'll come along fast enough,
don't you worry"

YANKEE SOL DlERs WELL FED
u Cannot BE Said That In Any Way
Uncle Sam stints His Fight.
ln0 Men.

More than a billion pounds Of meat
a year and an equal amount of pure
wheat flour are required for the Amer
lean army bill Of fare. That impos-
ing total will increase rapidly as the
United States enlarges its fighting
forces in France and the divisions in
training on this side of the Atlantic.
Uncle, Sam does not stint the quality
or quantity Of food for his husky fight
ing men. There Is bountiful supply
of every essential foodstuff on cure
fully balanced menu that provides
more calories than the rations of any
other army in the world. Twenty
seven standard articles figure in the
list from which mess sergeants select
material for the daily meals. They
are beef, bacon, -four, baking powder,
beans, rice. potatoes. onions. tomatoes,
prunes, jams, apples, peaches, coffee.
tea, sugar, milk, vinegar, pickles, salt,
pepper, cinnamon, lard and lard SUBJ
stitutes, buttes and oleomargarine,
strip and fiavoring extracts. Even
with this elaborate selection, and not
withstanding the mounting cost Of
food, the government finds 1t possible
to give the boys in khaki all they can
eat for the modest sum Of Al and a
fraction cents a day. The soldiers get
many articles Of food, however, that
are not included In the STANDARD" list.
Supply sergeants are instructed to
vary the diet by purchasing eggs
chickens, green vegetables and fresh
fruits. This plan is followed in
France as well as in the United
States. Under favorable circumstances
poultry and fresh vegetables and fruit
are served in the front-line trenches.

CALAIS LONG FAMOUS Pom 4


Since the beginning Of the war
Calais has been an objective Of the
German army. It IL a familiar name
to those who have crossed the % miles
Of nasty choppy water that lies be
tween Calais and the English port Of
Dover.
Fifty years ago Calais was regard
ed as fortress Of the first class, but
1t would now probably not be able to
defend itself many days against mod.
ern artillery. In 1346. after the bait
tie of Crecy, Calais was besieged by
the English King Edward III, holding
out resolutely by the bravery Of Jean
de Vienne. It's Inhabitants were saved
from the cruel fate with. which Ed
ward menaced them BY the devotion
of seven Of its chief citizens. who ID
turn We're themselves spared at the
prayer of Queen Phillipa, this event
having been commemorated In wide.
" known historical painting.
Calais remained in the hands Of the
English until 1858, when 1t was taken
by the duke Of Guise, at the head Of,
10000 men, from an ill-provided Eng
fish garrison only 800 strong, after 4
siege Of seven days. This loss led to.
the remark Of an English queen, who
declared that when she died the word
"Calais" would be found imprinted ON,
her heart. Calais was held by the
Spaniards from 1896 to 1898, but was
restored to- the French by treaty. s.

a gun, several centuries old. on which
is engraved the doggerel:

And I'll send a ball to Calais green =
This was fiction, but modern artil-
lery could easily accomplish the feat.

These new features. together
with the well known Moline
Universal type-all the weight
on two wheels, one-man control
and ability to do all farm work
including cultivating-make the
Moline-Universal Model D the
best tractor money can buy.
Conservatively rated at 9-l8.
the new Moline-Universal has
plepower for heavy beltwork.
and can pillow as much in a day
with two plows as the ordinary
three-plow tractor, because Of its
greater speed. Yet it is light,
enough for such work as cultiva-
ting, moving, ETC., which do not
require so much power.
We will be glad to tell you all about
this wonderful tractor. The next time
you are in town call on us.
