BOXING WITH BELLS

Boxing is one Of the favorite sports
of blinded soldiers in st. Dunstan's

can be trained to replace vision ex-
plains the eagerness Of the Canadians
to take NY civil life. Boxing is posi-
BILE for the men by the use Of little
bells on the wrists Of the gloves, diff
ferently toned for theright and left
hands. Hearing becomes so keen that
N is easy for the men to judge the dis
lance, and follow the motions Of their
sparring partners. so easy. in fact that
spectators cannot be convinced the
boxers are blind.

cupation but through training regain

THE WAGON NINE,

Cedar Rapids, Muscatine, Waterloo
and dozen other points in Iowa have
felt the pinch Of acute coal famines
this winter, and the list may be
heightened any day before spring
opens. Ottumwa. on the other hand,
has been unusually fortunate, largely
because many coal consumers sup
piled themselves for the winter last
summer and fall.
This foresight would not have been
sufficient to save Ottumwa from coal
shortage Of serious proportions, how
ever, II a considerable portion of the
market had not been supplied by the
small mines situated within a few
miles Of the city and known as wagon
mines.
Much of the household coal con-
sumed in Ottumwa comes from these
workings. A larger proportion of the
city's winter quota originates in Iowa
mines on railroads centering here.
Some comes from the Illinois fields
and in other years Kentucky and West
Virginia have contributed to the local
market. These states have sent little
coal into Iowa this winter. however,

TRUE TO FORM.

Because of the inefficiency Of the
city council and because its members
we're ignorant of the duties which are
imposed on them by the fact that they
hold Official positions, the quarrel over
rates for electricity and steam is about
to be thrown into the courts with the
city's position about the least desh-
able it is possible to conceive.
There can be little doubt that the
company will be able to convince the
court that some increase In rates is
necessary. That much has been ad-
mitted generally by citizens. But be-
cause the council is unable to deter
nine the proper limit Of the increase
it has adopted an ordinance granting
none at all and It is this ordinance
which the company will attack II 1t
demands court action.
The adoption of this ordinance fol-
lows the informal approval Of sched-
ule of increases which never was In
vestigated by the council with view
to determining its fairness until after
it had been in force for more than a
month.
The whole transaction, as far as the
council is concerned, has been char
acterized by a child-like ignorance and
neglect Of official duty and response
bility which would be shocking but
for the fact that it is perfectly true
to form.

SCATTERING MORALE.

apparent that work has been halted at
least for time in a number OF indus.
tries which are Of vital importance to
the government and the army, that the
production Of munitions has been re-
duced, that there is a well-grounded
desire among the Germans of the
working classes for peace which does
not contemplate extension of Ger
mans frontiers, and that the temper
of the proletariat is working toward
the stage at which revolutions are
proclaimed and empires are upset.
1t is apparent that the militarists
and annexationists played their trump
card without taking trick when they
circulated an appeal by General Hin
denburg, urging the strikers to return
to their tasks and labor for the tri-
umph Of kultur and the glorifcation
of their armies. The Hindenbuyg ap-

The Giant Scarecrow.
Farmer Green always Claimed that
Mr.. Crow was a ruffian and rObber

Farmer Green always claimed that
Mr.. Crow was a rufaan and q robber
That old chap has been coming
here every summer for years" he said
to his son Johnnie one day. Il al
ways know him whenever see him.
because he's the biggest one OF all the
crows that steal my corn"
That was Farmer Green's way OF
looking at a certain matter. But old
Mr.. Grow regarded It otherwise. He
knew we'll enough what Farmer Green
thought Of his trick Of digging up the
newly planted corn. And his own
idea and Farmer Green's did not agree
at al.
Now, this matter was something
that old Mr.. Crow never mentioned
unless somebody else spoke Of It first
And then Mr.. Grow would shake his
head slowly. and sigh, and say:
Its strange that Farmer Green
doesn't understand how much l help
him I'm as busy as l can be all sum-
mer long, destroying insects Chat in
jure his crops. And since help Farm
er Green to raise his corn, I'm sure
have as good right to share Of 1t
as the horses that plough the field. or
the men that hoe it. Famer Green
gives them corn to eat. But he never
once thinks OF giving me any.
You see, there are always two sides
to every question and that was Mr..
Crows. But Farmer Green never knew
how MI. Crow felt about the matter.
And every spring, at corn planting
time, he used to set up scarecrows in
bis corn field. hoping they would
frighten the Crows away.
And 80 they did. At least, some OF
the younger crows were afraid OF
those straw-stuffed dummies, with
their hats tipped over their faces or
