The average newspaper is
content to use the work of one

Hal Coffman is declared by
many to be able to get more
meaning out of the scratch of
a pen than any man living. His
cartoons on various phases of
the war and particularly his hot
shots aimed at the German
Kaiser never fail to score.

TALES OF TOWN

Brand New Yankee Democracy
The lad who used to travel on wheels
Buttoned in fur to his chin,
Is trekking along ON blistered heels
Eatin his chow from TIM
He bathes when he can and he shaves
when he must,
And he handles a man-sized tool.
The remarks he's made to his blunt
nosed spade
He'll never have learned in SCHOOL,
He's lost the stoop and the motor
droop,
And he's going it on his own,
With grit and vim--and the best of
him
Trimmed down to Drawn and bone.
For names don't count in the khaki
ranks,
And nobody reads "Who's Who"
They feature you there on the bill of
fare
For the things that you really do
The lads who used to travel on wheels
Pays his toll with the resin blood
There's . brand new Yankee democ-
racy
Mixing cut there in the mud

SENATOR J. HAM LEWIS, whose
leaky interview concerning what
Premier Clemenceau gave out to him
of the end of the war compelled the
French premier to disavow such an
idea, now explains that he did not
mean the war would end this year,
but with the rate Of progress the
allies are now making he felt that
at the end Of another year victory
would be plainly in sight; or, in other
words, that the allies would be on
the home stretch" That sounds more
like it. By the end of 1919 the allies
will be on the home stretch, and that
is as much as a sensible man like
the French Premier would venture to
predict.

THE demand of this hour is how to
L control the price of substitutes.
The price of wheat is fair enough pro-
vided that the price of other articles
is likewise fixed The farmers who
are complaining are not doing it be-
cause they think wheat is worth more,
but because they want wheat TO keep
pace with other commodities. If the
other prices were reduced, we would
hear no more of fixing the price Of
wheat.

A MERlcANS individually are con-
stantly being called upon to win
the war" by doing this or abstaining
from that, and being urged and
whipped up to the good work by con-
trast of the little they can do, or be
asked to do, compared with the great
sacrifices and hardships assumed by
the boys at the front. SO that when
Americans do the things asked, they
should receive due credit therefor and
when we hear spokesman of our allies
warmly recognizing the great things
done here at home, quietly and unos-
tentationsly and Loyalty in nearly all

on with such efforts 1t is not only
at the front that America is credited
with turning the tide, from defensive
to offensive A. G. Gardiner, editor

Magazines are wanted. Current
numbers of the best magazines.
Got any magazines? There's sol
der or a sailor somewhere who
hasn't but who sure would like TO
have. The Postofice Department
says So 1t has been carrying good
deal OF reading matter TO our boys in
service. This morning there was is
sued a notice to the effect that addi-
tional magazines could be used to adj
vantage in various camps throughout
the country. Here, in part, is what
the notice says:
Although there has been graft
flying and patriotic response on the
part of the public to supply our sol
diers and sailors with suitable and
interesting reading matter under the
arrangement provided for by Depart
mental Order No. 1.277, whereby I'M
wrapped, unaddressed copies OF
magazines bearing the notice to read
er prescribed in that order are ac-
cepted for mailing at the postage rate
of one cent each and placed in the
hands of soldiers and sailors, reports
now received indicate that additional
magazines could be used 10 adYant-
age at various camps throughout the
country. These magazines are hearth
" appreciated and serve to promote
the welfare and contentment OF the
soldiers and sailors.
1T should be born in mind that the
magazines should be of current or
comparatively recent issue and de-
voted to literature or contain articles
of general interest. Old magazines
and those of local or restricted inter
est are of no value and are not de-
sired"

LABOR CONFERENCES
IN EVERY STATE

What is considered one of the most
important projects to deal with, the
farmland situation, is now being plan
ned by labor specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Farm labor conferences will be held
during September and the first part
of October in every State in the
Union, where the Federal labor
specialists and officials of the States
Relations Service will discuss labor
questions and their solution with Off
Gals of the State agricultural col
leges, State farm-help specialists,
county agent leaders, extension lead
ers, and others interested. The object
is to get all agencies to work together
and to have the various departments
of the State colleges to consider how
their campaigns can be carried on
with a minimum amount of labor. For
example. if the dairy department of a
State college is planning to conduct
campaign for increasing the number
of dairy cattle in the State, the Off
Gals of that department will be asked
to show how the program can be car
ried out with the minimum or present
supply of labor. Each department
will be asked to recast it's program, so
that it can be met with present sup
plies of farm labor.
