A Week of Verse
Coney Island to Her Children

(From The PuOdn)
CHILDREN, children who arc mine
~ Only for day,
Who's to blame, if you are tired
And don't know how to play?.
Seven days to every week,
And six to work all day,
Dance and kiss and flirt and swim
And don't care what they say.
Six long days to fight for bread,
(The earth's not for the meek)
I will give you thrills enough
To last the weary week.
Ride upon the steeplechase,
And loll upon the sand;
Take what pleasure you can find
And will understand.
Children, children who are mine
Only for day;
Who's to blame, if you are tired,
And don't know how to play?
MARY MORSELL.

his more serious remarks, we might
say that he is long on the manure
spreader.
He said that his league stood for
state-owned elevators and flour mills;
state-owned packing plants; a ton
mage tax on iron ore and last, but
not least, for the exemption of farm
improvements! This last brought
down. the ground, as the roof was
too high. He failed to elaborate up
on what would become of the re-
tired farmers in the small villages
and cities, who would have to pay
the fiddler, nor did he mention the
man who labors in the factories, ex-
cept to say that the league would
win with his aid. Anything to put

His main plea was to make every

peated this advice many times
throughout his address and all who
heard it became fully aware of the
fact that this is the proper thing to
do in a political campaign.

A REPUBLICAN FORMULA

Will H. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican national committee, has is
sued kind of preliminary prospec-
tus for the party he represents for
application in the congressional cam
paigns this year and the presidential
campaign two years hence.
What Chairman Hays has to say is
not mere statement of his own
opinions. He has talked with leaders
of the party representative in past
campaigns various shades of senti-
ment and judgment. He tries to re-
fleet accurately the consensus Of
these leaders. A more detailed out
line of the party's case will be pre-
scented in the Indiana state platform
to be adopted and promulgated next
week.
Indiana is the home state of Chair
man Hays. It's declaration Of prin-
ciples and policies is expected to be
the basis for party platforms in other
states-at least in those states whose
laws still permit official expressions
sent forth. Unhappily, Minnesota
is not among those states, although
there is nothing to prevent unofficial
declarations. It happens this year,
however, that in the Minnesota state
campaign loyalty to the Federal gov
eminent and the war cause is the one
big, dominating issue. On that issue
there is not shadow of a doubt
about the position of Governor Burn
quist. There is such doubt about his
competitor for the Republican nomi-
nation.
To retpdn Ito Chairman Hays
statement, he outlines the dominating
Republican purposes, speaking Of
tionally, to be:
Do everything possible now to win
the war.
Peace by victory, never by COM
promise bargaining.
Prepare intelligently now to solve
vital reconstructive problems after
the war.
Basically, this program is compre-
hensive. It's details, of course, are
yet to be worked out. It contem-
plates particularly that justice shall
be done to American labor, the chief
bulwark of the nation and of the war
not merely organized labor and un-
skilled labor, but the labor which con-
stitutes the primary productive ener-
gies of the country.
The statement brands the criminal
propaganda and influence of the L.
w. w. and similar groups as kind
of treason which must be stamped
out. 1t condemns in the same breath
the employer and the employee VINO
seek to take advantage of the war
emergency to profit unduly. 1t be-
speaks a fair, square deal for the
farmer and the business man, and it
specifies for Republican candidates
that they should be not only SUI
premely pro-American, but that they
should be men or women of high
ideals, sound judgment, and acute
sense of justice for all, and vision
broad enough to equip them to meet
wisely and well the great questions
which will press for settlement in
the next few years. That test ex-
cludes the Bolshevism whose feet do
not remain on solid ground in the
clutching of ideals.
It seems to us that Mr.. Hays has
set down a formula of Americanism
that fills the needs and ideals of both
war and peace days.-Minneapolis
Tribune.

CRISIS AHEAD
FOR AGRICULTURE
THE FEDERAL FARM LOAN
BOARD SAYS FARMERS
ARE IN TROUBLE
URGE FEDERAL AID
Recommend That Treasury De-
partment Be Allowed to
Purchase Needed Sup
plies for Them

Washington, Jan. According to
the federal farm loan board, the ag-
ricultural interests of the country
are facing serious financial condi-
ton.
This statement is contained in the
first annua. report of the board to
Congress. The board has recently
canvassed the situation, and makes
strong recommendations for the re-
lief of the farmers of the country.
The board recommends that Con-
gress authorize the Treasury Depart
ment to purchase $1OO,O0O,OOO worth
of supplies for the farmers Of the
country for the coming year.
The report is a source Of some ap-
prehension among certain members
of Congress, few of whom are famil-
lar with the agricultural conditions
in their own states.

KILL THE RATS

The American people do not real
ize the immense sum which is lost in
the course of q year through the de-
predations of rats and mice. The
government, through the food adj
ministration, has made an appeal for
the destruction of rats. This appeal
has the hearty endorsement Of the
State Board Of Health. It is essen
tial that the annual direct econom-
ic loss in this country from rats is
about $2OO,OOI 900 a year. At four
per cent this would pay the annual
interest on a new Liberty loan of
SIS, 900, 100000. In addition to this
tremendous direct loss, the rat causes
a great indirect loss as q spreader Of
disease.
1t is not an easy matter to get rid
of rats, for they sometimes show an
almost uncanny ability in recognize
ing danger. Most cats are little
value as ratters, although there are
exceptions. Ferrets are effective in
cleaning OH: a rat-infested place, but
they require trained handling. Rats,
and mice have increased, especially

ORGANIZATION FOR MINERS

The new organization of mine OPP
orators. in the as-0klahoma
mining field, is. to be known as the
rri-State Safety and Sanitary As
ISOLATION an its membership is to be
$50 instead Of $3.50 as was planned
before.
These developments in the history
If the new organization resulted from
he meeting held at Pitcher Tuesday
noon. A constitution and bylaws
we're adopted by the club, and by the
lime this had been accomplished the
hour was so late it was decided to
oostpone the election of permanent
officers until next weeks meeting.
Three different names were placed
1efore the mmbers for consideration
yhen the question Of name was taken
Up. They were "Miami Safety and
Sanitation Association" COX Assoc
alton" and "Tri-States." Ballots
we're passed and a secret vote showed
The name Of Tri-State to be most
popular. In an informal discussion
Engaged in while the vote was being
taken it was suggested that this
name would permit the maximum
growth for the club and would amount
% a virtual invitation to other sec
tons of the camp that now have or
Plantations TO come into the Organi-
gation that il is hoped to make the
leading one.
More important than the selection
Of the name was the decision to re-
luce the membership fee from $25O
% $50. The larger sum had been in
ended to take care of the building OF
4 club house on top of Blue Mound
jut it was decided that it would be
better to get the club in good healthy
organization first and let the club
house on Blue Mound be an after
consideration.
Under the new regulation there is
A flat membership fee Of $50 for ac-
I've members and the same sum for
associate members, which will include
he supply companies.
Attendance at the meeting Tuesday
vas smaller than had been hoped for
and A. E. Bendelari, temporary chair
nan of the club, was absent, having
been called to New York the night
before. There was much interest
manifested, however, and it is be-
lieved that under the new member
ship regulations the club will quick
" become one of the strongest Of the
kind the district has ever known.

CONGESTION IN ?. 0.
H|NDERs SERVICE
The Baxter Office Is Swamped
With Work and Must Short
en- Hours Of Window
Service

Postmaster Smith has found II nee.
cessary to make q change in the time
when the general delivery window
will be opened in the morning and
closed in the evening. Henceforth,
beginning January the window will
be opened at o'clock instead Of 1880
rs heretofore, and will close at 600
instead Of $3.50. Patrons Of the post
office general delivery will save
themselves disappointment If they
bear this change in mind.
/. The change has been made neces-
sary by the constant increase in the
volume Of mail that must be handled
at the postOffice and the slowness Of
the postoffice department in provid-
ing extra help to take care Of the
business. Since January /, 1917, the
business at the postoffice has increas-
ed about 200 rer cent, yet the govern
ment has prodided practically no ex-
ira help to take care Of it. The post
master puts in about fourteen hours
n day and the clerks never get q
breathing spell from morning to
night. They are all doing the best
they can, and will continue to serve
the public to the best of their ability
but until more room and more help is
provided service is to be more or less
unsatisfactory to the public.
For some time now the business of
this office has been of sufficient vol
ume to entitle it to q second classifi-
cation, but the department appears to
be very slow about attending to this
matter.
Some 500 Or more signatures have
been secured to the petition for the
establishment of free delivery in
Baxter. These petitions will be sent
in this week. But this does not mean
that we will get free delivery right
away. It will probably start an in
vestigation Ey the department how
ever and in due time they will come
here and tell US that we cannot have
free delivery until sidewalks are laid
all over the city and especially will
the department require that the
streets be properly named and mark
cd and the houses properly number
ed. This matter rests wholly with
our city council. The people ought to
devise some means of persuading
that body to get busy and institute
that reform, which surely is badly
needed.

and oil men do not indicate any de-
sire to evade taxation, but rather n
wish to equallze the burden among
mineral producers possessing q SINH
lar status.
The committee Of sixteen has sug-
gested TO the Excess Profits Advis-
DRY Committee an amendment to Sec
ton POT Of the Wax Tax Law. This
proposed amendment is baseu upon a
recognition of n different principle OF
taxation necessary to the depicting
assets of mining and oil corporations.
The Advisory BOARD seems to ack-
nowledge that this class Of corpora
tons should have been especially
considered in the drafting of the law
and a differentiation Of regulations
provided. The mining men assert
that in numerous instances the effect
of the Act is to invite mine opera
tors to sacrifice time and capital for
the sake Of fulfilling their patriotic
duty to the government in the pro-
duction of raw materials.
The committee Of sixteen met last
week with representatives Of the
Treasury Department, at the head
quarters Of the American Mining
Congress, and the recommendations
and proposed amendment were draft
ed after prolonged conference. The
mining men say that, at time when
the nation Is in exceptional need OF
metals, it is unwise to discourage
their industries by the enforcement
If inequitab'e legislation.
Another point which has caused
much concern is the ruling Of the Re-
venue Commissioner that so-called
treasury stock sales, as generally un-
lcrstood in the West, are to be
classed MS income, subject to the ex-
ceptional rates of taxation borne by
other forms of income.

AUTO SPRINGS IMPORTANT
New Models Assure Greater
Comfort by Improved Lub-
ricatiOn Facilities

Although the average motorist
gives little thought to the springs OF
his car except as to their use in re-
ducing road shocks to passengers, the
springs actually play an important
part in the performance Of the entire
automobile according to automobile
experts.
Longer, easier riding springs, both
front and rear, are features Of the
new models. Through the utilization
of the lamp wick principle the spring
ends are thoroughly fabricated from
a small well in the shackle pin.
Every owner of a new model car is
assured a full measure. of comfort
from his particular model because Of
the variation in the number OF leaves
in each spring according to the in
tended load Of the car. The springs
are identical in length and width on
all models, but the number Of leaves
is varied as required.
The front springs are 80 inches
long and those in the rear measure
"a inches on some cars. The rela-
lively short front springs protect the
engine from road shocks, yet are long
and flexible enough to insure comfort
to passengers.
The long springs in the rear pro-
vide easy riding comfort, their resi-
liency protecting not only the Passen-
gers, but the car As well. Both the
front and rear springs are, as hereto
fore, Of the semi-elliptie type which
gives the maximum Of resilieney but
prevents side-sway. The superior
New Model spring construction con-
tributes much toward a lOng-lived
car.
