BARTENDERs AND OTHERS.

A Chicago newspaper points out that the par
tender is versatile, tactful, cheerful fellow
who Will land upon his feet In some new voca-
ton in districts where his own has gone by the
board. In Iowa we know this to be so. The
barkeeper, present or ex, is man of wide &C
quaintance, usually affable and with a wealth
of conversational gifts and facility at repartee;
and while as rule he is not so opulent as ne
was In the old days, he is more alert and busl-
|nesslike, and long experience with all sorts OF
people has made his judgment of human nature
intuitive and shrewd He commonly knows
more than he tells, thinks more than he says,
sees more than he seems to; all of which are adj
mirable traits; and the more developed among
the men behind the bar come to hear less than
they are supposed to and care less than they
pretend to for the bibulous babbe to which
they are, in 'swet' communities, exposed. We
need not fear therefore that they will not
readily slip into occupational inches where
close-mouthed men of nice perceptions and dis
erection are required. We may be sure that the
dispensers of beverages will adapt themselves
to the new order more readily, perhaps, than
some of their acquaintance across the bar who
were habituated to their dispensations. The
men whose occupations will be gone as utterly
as Othello's will be the professional, salaried
regulators of other peoples lives, consciences
and nutritive processes. What equally remun
erative and congenial vocation will open to
them7

IN SPLENDID UNITY.

Seven great agencies are at work for the wei
fare of our soldiers and sailors; for the help
where help is needed; for the saving from suf
fering of men, women and children the world
over. These agencies are seven but they are
one 1t is a splendid union and is example to
make us sure in these distracted times that
when a great thing is the motive unity is not
only possible but the choice Of all. Of these
seven organizations two are Protestant ona
Catholic one Jewish, three Of no denomination
al utilization. Time waswhen these parts might
have been deemed difficult of fusng into a nm
ity white hot with singleness Of purpose. But no
outside agent was required to accomplish this
union. The president Of the United States sup-
gested that economy would derive from CO.
operation, but the cooperation was already in
effect; the formal union was the work of a
single night A Catholic nomanited John r
Mott, of the Y NJ. c. A, director general. a
Jew seconded the nomination. many Jews
volunteered the suggestion that inasmuch as
the Jews were helping so superbly in all char
liable war work. non-Jews should serve on the
J. Y NJ. A. boards and enlist hearty non-Jew
support. There was no anti-anybody or anv
anti-anything in this union; the whole fusion
was to fight for the welfare of fighting men, fol-
the help of suffering mankind.

that no board in the United States
is doing its work better than this one

FOR KENNEDY
AND SCOTT
Montrose is Proud Of Its Two Citizens
Now Deeply Engaged in Help
Ina Win the War with
Efficiency.

Under the heldline, Montrose
Doing Things, tho Journal of that
town summarizes the highly efficient
work of Congressman Kennedy and
Sheriff John G. Scott, chairman OF
the Lee county exemption board. as
reasons why each Of these two men
should receive the unanimous vote
regardless of party of Montrose
patriotic citizens. The Journal says
this week:
Montrose should be proud OF her
position in the American nation now.
Montrose men are doing much to
help win the great world war and
solve the questions that grow out OF
the conflict between the kaiser and
democracy.
While this town has done very
much in every way it has been called
upon, in war aid work, two of it's citi-
zens are specially engaged In the
work of the whole world just now.
Charles A. Kennedy, PARTLY by vfr-
tue of his long experience in con-
gress. and partly by his 100 percent
Americanism, has specially large in
fuence in helping determine how the
great problems confronting the gov
eminent shall be solved best. Con-
gresham Kennedy stands very high
in Washington with all departments
of the government and with men in
high place regardless of party. His
reelection, which is assured by the
fact that sensible men Of all parties
in the first district will vote for him
this year, rather than send a tyro to
congress to spend several years
learning the ropes, will keep Mont
rose in its proud place, and Congress-
man Kennedy should receive the
unanimous vote of Montrose.
John G. Scott, in quite another way.
but with special efficiency, is doing
a great part in these war times.
There Is no greater responsibility
than that of the county exemption
board of which he is chairman.
There is nobody working harder in
this country in the war than he is on
that board. His integrity is above
suspicion, and all his acts have been
conscientious. While not absolutely
everybody has been pleased, at times,
everybody knows that John c. Scott
has always acted in accordance with

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
BEFORE The DRIVE.


Loud splitting truck and wagon trains,
And caissons and guns and infantry,
All damned together in the dark
And mud and rain of northern France,
Moving toward the front.
Night after night it had been thus,
With days of hard relentless toll
Spent maps of and battle plans,
With two three perhaps,
Short hours OF sleep in every twenty-four,
Only what chance afforded,
TIL / had lost all trace Of time
Day dull traulping onward in the mud,
about caissons and guns and motor trucks;
Life but mud and rain and weary men
And then-one evening the march began,
/ CHANGED to pause and gaze into the west,
And there all the beauty of the world
Lying atop the rain bejeweled trees
In stripes OF crimson lavender and blue
And all the other colors known TO man!
Then darkness came end tramping northward oncs
again,
Buffeed about by cassons and and motor trucks.
But 10! the road that nj ght smooth;
My feet steady and my heart was gay,
For / had looked into the west love
And there had the magic OF your smile.
Charles Ign Fox, in the Stars and Stripes, France
