ABOUT SHORTER HOURS.
Druggist Gives Views on Subject Raps Vendors of Drugs Who Are
 Unqualified to Fill Prescriptions.

Raps Vendors of Drugs Who Are Unqualified to Fill Prescriptions. To the Editor of the Herald: read with interest your editorial "Shorter Hours. I can assure the writer of it that the public was taken into consideration. The physician has always known where he could find quick response to any emergency call.
 1 am quite sure the writer will grant that a drug clerk who has stood behind a prescription counter all day. and well into the ght.-disseCt- ing and carefully com pounding intri cate prescriptions, should have rest Many q life does depend on his clear head and absolute knowledge of pharmaceutiCals and prescription compromising. This man has given years to study and training, and has had to standardize himself before the state would allow him to practice pharmacy. A rain-fa gged, tired man is not the sort to fill your pre- scriptiOn,-- is menace to the pub lie.
 Many registered clerks have en- tered the service and it is pra aCtiCally i'm possible to replace them. Ii is now almost out of the question for pro- prietoTs to live up to the state law and they are liable to prosecution for not keeping their stores cOVercd,-- due to their inability to get licensed men.
 Tn foreign countries the apotheCary enjoys his brthrisht. Being educat- ed and trained. he alone is tolerated to handle drugs. Here the vendor (ahsoluteN without knowledge of drugs whatsoever seems to have the right of wav,--until he gets pre- sCription. This he cannot fill so the druggist has to come to the rescue; maybe at one two or three o clock in the morning.
 We are going to ask the public to help the government by trading dur ing the day, or early in the evening, thus saving light and heat. It would also enable the druggist to give bet ter and more efficient service at this time when so many of our clerks are doing their bit lover there.'
 Thanking you for your courtesy and the space in your valuable paper, l remain,
 Yours very truly,
 (Signed) A DRUGGIST.

QUENTIN ROOSEVELT BRINGS DOWN PLANE
American AYiatOrS Go 30 Miles
 Into Enemy Territory

With the American Forces on ths Marne, July 1O.-Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt, the youngest son of eH@ President Roosevelt, brought down his first German airplanc this after@ noon in a fight north of Chteau~ Thierry
 Lieutenant Roosevelt with three other pilots was flying at a height of 5000 yards, eight miles inside ths German lines, when the machines be- came separated. Soon after, Rooso~ welt saw three planes which hs thought were his companions and started to join them. He was close approaching the machines from the rear when he saw his mistake, for the planes were German. Roosevelt immediately opened 1ror and after fifty shots tracers pene- trated the fuselage of the nearest German machine and it went into spinning nose dive, falling through the clouds 2,00O yards below.
 The Lieutenant is certin it must have crashed for no pilot voluntarily goes into 2,00O yard spinning nose dive. The two remaining German airplanes attacked Roosevelt, but ha managed to make good his escape and returned to the field, himself and his machine unscratched.

Party and the Administration.
(Lowcll Courier-Citizen)

The Maiden News remarks that there were never so many jobs for deserving democrats in Washington as today" Since there is a demo- cratic administration in Washington that party may have a preference where civil service rules do not in terfere. Certainly democrats. from early political times, have known how to look for a job. But in the more important positions the administra- tion is not seeking partisanship, but efficiency, and one ought to be will ing to. credit the majority of the thousands who have gone to Wash ingtOn with having done so to per- form their humble part in helping the government win the war Prob have sought such positions to escape service in the army; but they have been very few and they are finding their position unsatisfactory already. Official Washington, like the cOun- try in general, expects it's young men to enter the army or navy, and pub lie opinion sooner or later puts them there. And it expects of all the oth- CTS the very best service that is in them. In normal times they might hold their position whether or not they gave it. But in times like these inefficiency is soon discovered and Weeded out.

Patriotism and Law.
(Des MOines CanitaN

The burning of a foreign language church in Mashaka county on Thurs day night is something to be regret ted. The action should be denounced everywhere by patriotic men and wOm en. It was to prevent just such crimes that Governor Harding issued his language proclamation. This Dutch language church was some what rccalCitrant on account of the leadership of a stubborn preacher. So long as the minister was stubborn his congrega ton was stubborn. These foreign language ministers have un- usual power over their churches. The Mennonite soldiers at Camp Dodge who refuse 10 dc non -COmbatant work have been under the influence of Q, Mennonite preacher, Therefore it is necessary for the preachers 10 get right in order to have patriotism and peace.
