is RE REALLY LOYAL?

A c TOwnley. promoter and auto
crat in command of the nonpartisan
league, is in Washington denying to
congress that his league is disloyal OF
unpatriotic He cites as proof that the
farmers Of North Dakota have in
creased their wheat acreage and have
subscribed for liberty bonds
Wheat being the principal crop Of
North Dakota and having.its war price
guaranteed by the government a
farmer can raise more wheat and still
be disloyal, at least the raising of
wheat at present prices in a country
that does not raise much of anything
else is no evidence of loyalty
Taking liberty bonds these days IL
not so much an evidence of loyalty as
the refusal to take them when flnan-
cially able 10 do is an unmstakable
evidence of disloyalty.
The things Townley should answer
for is the company he keeps His ar
fidavit is on file at his voting place to
the effect that he is a socialist and
votes in the socialist party That So
cialist party has declared against our
participa on in this war and those So
cialists who thought more Of their
duty to their country than to their
political party openly bolted the dis
loyal platform and declared them
selves loyal TO the United States.
Townley not only has never repudi
ated the disloyal platform Of his So
cialist party but when he held con-
vention Of his nonpartisan league he
gathered together group Of social
lists, NAL contents and even pro-Ger-
man sympathizers to applaud Senator
LaFollette, who seems to be the only
man in public life who is willing to
give comfort to the enemy Of our ma
ton in these trying times. There must
be faint about the Americanism Of
the nonpartisan league or it would not
attract to itself the various elements
in our society which can not be de-
pended upon to help win the war now
Waging in Europe. This nonpartisan
league will never be able to do any
harm in Iowa but it is nevertheless a
good crowd to let alone just now.

When we sk Of the third liberty
foam it will help some to remember
that Germany Is just now boosting
her eighth war loan under very DIFF
ferent circumstances than those that
faced our third bond issue.
Another thing that makes for conf
dence in Mr.. Schwab is that he seems
to be too busy to write six page
article for the Saturday Evening Post
on what he is going to do.
Milwaukee brewers have boosted the
price Of beer. So Milwaukee has the
same trouble over the price Of Milwau-

Canada has called all unmarried
men to the colors. Evidently Canada
proposes to make the married men do
all the work at home that their wives
can't do.

MOBILIZE SHIPS AND GUNS FIRST.

There can be no good accomplished
in calling more men to arms in this
country than can be equipped nor
more than can be transported to
France but members of congress
merely reflect public opinion when
they grow irritated at the lack Of de-
finite policy in the war department.
This nation should not wait until the
Germans are actually winning a drive
before 1t decides to increase its army.
Time killing delay IN our preparation
to fight is what has disguised and dis
heartened our people with their pre-
sent secretary Of war.
However. the ships and the NUM-
tons are the real urgent necessities.

Billy Bunny and His Friends
IBy David ,C,ory.l

Up at the Old Farm Yard there was a
great hustle. Yes sireebus. And the
reason was that Henry Jenny had a
brood Of fluffy little chickens. Cocky
Docky hardly knew what to make OF
them. You see, he was so used to big
chickens that when he came to look at
these fluffy balls of yellow down he
didn't know what to do. So he just
stood on his tiptoes and crowed Cock
a-doodle dol" and the big farmer
thought he was singing because he was
reason at all.
Come, my dears"' said Henry Jenny
to her little chicks, let us take walk
in the Pleasant Meadow" So all the
little chickens followed after her and
by and by they came to the Babbling
Brook where swarms of flies darted over
the water. An every time a fly came
anywhere near Henny Jenny she snap
ped him UP and divided him among the
brood
Well, while she was standing by the
little brook, Billy Bunny came hopping
along, with his knapsack on his should
DER and his striped candy cane in his
right paw. For it was a lovely day In
May and the little rabbit was as happy
as two sticks and maybe three.
And then Tommy Turtle crawled by,
with his little shell house on his back,
and altho it was the LIST of May Tom
my Turtle wasn't going to move out
of his house. No sireebus. But his
house was moving with him. But that's
another matter, you see
Wherever l go my house goes, too,

SHeePKllllNG DOGS.

A good dog is a companion and
friend and ever present help in times
of trouble on the farm but when dog
leaves the linz of duty and service
and takes TO sheep killing there's only
one thing TO do with that dog. And
when he is caught with blood and
wool on his chops it is done. They
get rid of the dog.
The saloon was a sheep killer 1t
produced nothing good. assisted in no
wise and welcome public service. It
had blood and wool on its jaws Finally
people awo}ke to q full understand
ing of its proclivities and it met the
sheep killing dogs fate.
Yet the saloon was only respectable
commerce gone wrong. a sheep dog
turned wolf And not the wolf himself
is fiercer sheep killer than the shep
herd turned apostate.
The line between sheep herding and
sheep killing is narrow and easily
crossed, It is only line fence Of
moral and statutory law.
1t is easy TO cross when gain entices.
The taste of illegal and improper prof
its Is like the taste Of blood to the
sheep dog 1t sets those who seek it
again wild.
Commerce. industry. trade. all be-
long inside the fence. Il is impossible
to make illegal excursion with the
wolves and retain the sheep dogs

wolves can not complain Of the bar
riers that safety rears against wolf
play

My little shell house goes ever with me,
No matter how far 7 am sent"

"Ha, ha," laughed the little rabbit,
you're lucky fellow. And then
Kenny Jenny clucked to her little brood
and said. Look at Tommy Turtle with
his house on his back. Isn't he lucky?'
And just then Mrs. Cow with her
tinkling bell on her collar came by, and
this is the song she began to sing:
"Oh, the grass is nice and green,
And the water in the brook
lis cool, and then, besides. see my face
Most every time I look"
And then she rang her little bell over
and over again, just to make noise, I
guess, and after that Billy Bunny
hoped down to the Old Mill Pond to
talk to Uncle Bullfrog.
Now Uncle Bullfrog was a wise old
gentleman frog. He knew lots and lots
of things, but like a good many wise
people he never said very much. He
was usually too busy catching flies.
But when he saw Billy Bunny he took
off his yellow trimmed spectacles and
said:
How are you this lovely spring day,
little rabbit" and then he swallowed
fly that came too near, and after that
he blinked his eyes and then he closed
them to fool some other foolish fly who
might happen to come by.
But OF course he didn't close them
tight shut for then he wouldn't be able
to see anything, you know. And after
that Billy Bunny said, I'm very WEB.
thank you, Uncle Bullfrog." and next
time you shall hear what the little rab
bit did.

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-(Compiled

the Aisne and Vesle rivers has broken
down completely before the persistent
pressure of General Mangin's French
and American forces. The Germans
are in retirement, not of an orderly

protection for the moment in orga-
nizing their retreat.
The French forces of General Man
gins have crossed the Aisne northeast

Chateau and threaten the German de-

the north General Humbert's French
army has crossed the Somme canal
