titled him. Presently the cold Oaken
Bucket" record was turned off and the
husband went out, lowered rope and
after considerable effort, brought his
wife back. She was in bad way.
Her clothes were torn, her hair down
and she was in anguish. Rushing into
the house she applied salve to her
wounds and fresh clothes to her body.
Then she returned downstairs for SYM
pathy. But no husband was there.
In about fifteen minutes the door
opened and he came in. "Where have
you been?" she shrieked. "Oh, just

know, you dad blamed near ruined our

IF we had more necktie parties and
fewer internment week-ends, the at
mosphere in this country would be
considerably improved. The safest
form of law breaking in the United
States seems TO be spying and disloy-
atty The most secure place for a
German to be is not in Germany but
in the United States; no matter what
he does over here he is sure of three
meals day, good place to sleep and
most considerable treatment During
the Civil war we shot our own kin
folks because they were spies; over in
Europe spy isn't shown as much
mercy as a rattlesnake, but here they
are treated with so much courtesy
that spying will soon be regarded as
very respectable, profitable and
perfectly safe profession. To intern
German spy is most ridiculous; it is
n form of chicken-hearted idiocy that
encourages the treacherous, traitorous
ingrates who would destroy America
while being protected by America.
The slightest disloyalty or pro-Ger-
manism should not be tolerated. Any
person we know to be pro-German
should be dcported-that is the least
that should be done to him. If they
can't be loyal to America they ought
TO be made get out of America. And
no exceptions should be made because
some of them wear skirts. And some
thing ought to be done with every
member of the l. w. w. who is en-
deavoring to intimidate the courts of
this state. There ought to be thor
ough cleansing of such traitors and
we hope Governor Alexander will do
it thoroughly and permanently. The
manner in which they are defying this
government is tho most astounding |
and outrageous bit of nerve we know |
anything about And the bitter, burn |
ing shame of it all is they are getting
away with il. Is il any wonder that
some Of the Germans here in this
country hold us in contempt? We
have too much democracy and free
expression in this country; what we
need right now is an iron hand backed
up by a firing squad.

Pigeons as Carriers.

Pigeons have been used as messen-
gers for many thousands of years.
Dove is the Anglo-Saxon name; pigeon
the Norman name. During the fifth
Egyptian dynasty. 5000 years before
Christ, it was the fashion to domesti-
cate pigeons and to train them as car
riers and messengers. The promptness
with which Caesar was informed of
the rebellion in Gaul, and thereby en-
abled to cross the Alps before those
uprising could possess the entire prov
ince, was due to the use of carrier
pigeons. In the Crusades, these birds
were skillful and faithful messengers.

CTATED in the simplest possible
~ terms, the food problem before the
American people this year is that
they must save so million bushels of
wheat in four months from their or
binary consumption, in order to main
tain a supply of foodstuffs required by
the people of England, France and
Italy During eight months ending
March 1 they saved 80 million BUSH
els. or at the rate of A million bushels
month. During the next four
months they must save at the rate
of 1914 million bushels a month.
These figures are impressive. They
mean only one thing, that the Amer
lean people have not yet fully realized
the need of substitution and saving
imposed upon them by this war. This
is always to be remembered, that the
government, whose business it is to
see that the wheat exports are suf-
ficient to meet The demand Of our
allies, can send overseas the full
amount required and leave the Amer
lean people to do as best they can. All
that is necessary is for the home con-
sumers TO determine whether they
shall substitute other foods for wheat
products during the next four months
or, eating without restriction during
part of that period, suddenly find
themselves deprived of wheat alto
gether. The harvest prospect is good.
If the season is propitious there will
be an abundance of grain for both ex-
port and home consumption. But for
the next four months there is need
for the strictest economy and the most
careful substitution. This is no the
ory. No matter what has been said
in any quarter about the mistakes of
the food administration or the ne
cessity or lack of necessity of this,
that or another order or regulation,
the fact remains that there will not
be enough wheat during the next four
months for both export and home con-
We must export it. We
win this war unless the people |
Of Italy, England and France are sus-
tanned. Selfishness at our tables is a |
TO the enemy.

THERE is no doubt that prices of

THERE is no doubt that prices of
commodities generally are higher
at the present time than in normal
years. But there is no earthly use in
the abnormal prices demanded for
some things. The war has been taken
as an excuse to raise the prices of
everything ON the market. The in
crease in price in many instances
amounts to boldfaced steal. When
we get so we can regulate and control
the war thieves in this country we
will have made a mighty step for
ward. And until we do get to the
point where we can control and reg
ulate such profteers, we are going to
do considerable stumbling and have
a lot of trouble. ''Profteer" during
these days is only the polite name
for thief.
