thing that Is needed above others by
the coming generations it is plenty of

The tendency of modern times is
more toward machine work for the
physical labor, reserving man to sup

CHAMBER BOOSTS
ITS WIN-THE-WAR'
LUNCHEON APRIL 6

Members OF the Chamber OF Commerce
today are bending every effort to make
a success Of the "win-The-war" lunch
of the Chamber.
The luncheon promises to be the snap
piest, most unusual civic feature ever
backed by any organization in the city.
and a preliminary announcement Of the
plans has interested every business man
so far approached on the subject.
At Noon, April g.
The luncheon will he held at noon
on April in the New Willard. The
day will be the anniversary OF the
entry OF the United States into the
war. It will also be the day on which
Secretary McAdoo will promulgate
the third Liberty Loan. The Cham
Der OF Commerce luncheon will sup
plement and be a part of the big do
inGa Of the day in Washington.
Public speaking and patriotic out
door events all over the city will
make Washington the center OF ac-
tivity for the PRONUNCIATION OF the
big loan, and the members of the
Chamber OF Commerce have taken
advantage of the fact that every rep
resentative man will be on his toes
that day helping boost the big bond
issue.
Simple Luncheon.
The midday luncheon idea has
taken hold because OF the food
conservation involved. No eIab-
crate meal will be served: simply
one course and a dessert or something
approximating that amount of food.
Also it is food that will be consumed
at any rate at a regular meal hour
and is not to be considered as an ex-
ira meal.
The browning feature OF the Cham
Der OF Commerce "Win-the-War''
luncheon will be the short addresses
OF two prominent members OF the
Administration, whose names have
yet to be announced, and also the
five-minute appearance of four yep
resentatiVes OF allied nations.

Editorial

Editorial
The suggestion comes
from a reader that we do not
talk enough about ourselves
and our store to get the full
advertising value out of
these little editorials.
We confess that we are, at
times, a little disappointed
with the direct returns, yet
the steady and continued let
tiers of appreciation from
Washingtonians, convinces
us that our efforts are high
ly approved and that we are
gaining the friendly good
will upon which a really
worth while business must
be built and conducted.
If these editorials interest
you it stands to reason that
the products of the store that
publishes them must be
equally interesting.
Eternally blowing our own
horn would hardly fit in
with our desire to win wholly
on the merit of our goods.

NOT GUILTY
PLEA MADE
OrviIle Reynolds and Wife Offer This

terday When
Arraigned.

Fort Madison Democrat: Although
he made complete confession, telling
Of the Staying of his three weeks old
infant daughter, Orville Reynolds and
wife. Fern Reynolds, when arraigned
in court this morning. pleaded not
guilty to the charge.
The plea came as surprise as it
was generally expected that after the
making of the full confession Rey-
nolds would plead guilty and that his
wife, whom he exonerated from all
blame in his confession. would plead
not guilty.
There is strong possibility, how
ever, that the young man win plead
insanity and his past record showing
