Who Can Answer It?

Marshalltown Times Republican:
A woman made this remark: "T see
the newspapers and magazines are
full of suggestions where and how
women may save for the war and I
see that most of my friends have
signed the conservation pledge. Also
I take note that the average woman
is figuring ways and means of saving.
But haven't yet seen pledge paper
circulated or signed where men have
agreed to abandon tobacco in order
to save for the war. I have seen ap-
peals to men who use tobacco to dou-
BILE their expenditures and when buy
ing for themselves buy the same
quantity for soldiers. And it ap-
pears that they do it, by the news
paper reports OF barrels filled by
those purchases.
She went on. IT haven't been in
Morris tribune., 1918-02-08

any town OF any size for years that
hasn't half dozen or more cigar and
tobacco stores. The druggists all
sell cigars. Some of the barber shops
sell them, I am informed. All the
restaurants and hotels sell them. I
heard man complaining the other
day that the price of cigars had gone
up, but I didn't hear him say any
thing about cutting them down on
his daily allotment"
Then she shifted and led with her
left. Suppose that 100000 men
smoke half dollars worth of cigars
and tobacco day. It would take
about four days abstinence, to raise
that 100000 for the Y. M. C. A.,
wouldn't it? A years expenditure
would mighty near pay off the first
Liberty Loan, wouldn't it? And what
do you men get out of it anyway,
sour stomachs, ugly morning DISPOSE
tions, and an offensive personal
stencil"
''Why don't you lords of creation
do something yourselves? Why
don't you have cigarless and tobacco
less days? While suggesting so much
to us women why don't you organize
a week of no tobacco, no down town
lunches, no treating, and the like of
that, and turn the money saved over
to the Y. M. G. A., the Belgians, the
babies that are starving while you
burn up good money for nothing.

RURAL CARRIERS JOB
HARD ONE In WINTER
Patrons Should Keep Approach to
Mail Box Open and Remove Big
Drifts

Mail carriers on rural routes have
a pretty good job during the sum-
mer months, but when the cold and
snow comes in the winter time it is
not so nice. No matter what the
weather is like the carriers try to de-
liver the mail if possible and their
job is not an envious one on a bliz-
zard day when the snow is piled in
drifts. So far this winter the snow
has not bothered much and the car
riers out of Morris have been able to
make their rounds. Last Friday the
weather was so bad they did not go
but it is the only day they have
missed. There is much that the pa
irons on the routes can do to help
their carriers. The following writ
ten by George F. Morley, postmaster
at Treynor, Iowa, was sent to the
patrons on the routes of that place:
'The season is again at hand when
the carrier is forced to endure all
sorts of hardships in delivering your
mail. Especially when snow banks
have to be bucked is his work doub-
ly hard. The carrier is paid to de-
liver your mail, not to work the roads
and if you expect your mail promptly
each day at the regular time just see
that the approach to your mail box
is kept open so that the carrier can
easily drive up alongside it and de-
post the mail. If there are any bad
drifts on the road along your land
see that they are removed, and II
your neighbor has not opened his
road see that he does. Patrons of the
route have something else to do be-
sides sit by the stove and cuss the
carrier when the snow comes-they
must see that the roads are open. We
want the patrons to report to us any
inattention on the part of the carrier
and we will promptly take the mat
ter up with the proper authorities,
but we want it distinctly understood
that the fault is not all with the car
rier. You simply must see that the
road is open each and every day it
you expect to receive your mail
promptly. This matter comes up for
consideration every winter in this
office and we take this means of mott
flying you that we want the matter
settled so that it will not be neces-
sary to report any neglect to the de-
partment. BY all means don't leave
pennies in the box for the carrier to
fish out with fingers that are already
nearly frozen. Assist the carrier all
YOU can and then if he does not give
you service we will find out why"

National Emblem

If you were asked the number Of
stars and stripes in the American
flag could you answer offhand? Don't
acknowledge it if you couldn't but
sit right down and memorize these
numbers and what they stand for:
The national flag of the United
States now consists of thirteen alter
nate red and white stripes, beginning
and ending with red one The
stripes represent the thirteen origin
al states, and the forty-eight stars
arranged on the blue field in six
rows of eight stars each represent
the forty-eight states now CONSTITUTE
ing the Union. The last two stars
were added in 1912, when New Mexi-
co and Arizona were officially adj
mitted as states.

WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD.

The 1917 wheat crop in France was
less than half normal, using the crop
of 1913 as basis of comparison.
There was a shortage of 176,OOOOOO
bushels, or 53.3 per cent. The potato
crop was only within one-third of nor
NAL. The sugar beet crop showed a
deficit of $40 per cent. Her meat
herds in the early fall showed a short
age Of 100000 animals.
Those are a few Of the reasons
America must feed her associates in
the war. They are no longer able to
feed themselves, and unless we come
to the rescue are face to face with
starvation. And starvation means de-
feat in the war.

FASTENED RUSSIAN COLLAPSE

1--WE must not overlook the fact that
Russia collapsed, not because of the
Germans on her borders, but because
she failed to organize and feed her
own citizenship" the food administra-
ton announced
"We must be warned that If we are to
emerge victorious from this war we can
not risk the collapse of another of our
associates in this war from this cause
Anybody that Is looking for the col
lapse Of the German people on the food
question had better turn around and
look at the moon, because the results
will be the same. Germany is in no
more danger of collapsing on that
score than we are, If as much"

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

There will be an important meet
ing of the Cemetery Association next
Tuesday afternoon at $3.50 o'clock
at the residence of Mrs. Drew ROane.
4. full meeting is very much desired,
as this is the beginning of the new
years work. We of necessity have
had to make a change in our Sex
ton, for the reason that Mr.. Cook,
who has served so we'll for years past,
declared that he was not physically
able to continue the work any longer.
4 man has been employed who was
and he should know pretty well how
years experience.
We. as an Association, stand by
the present plans for carrying on the
work, if we desire it to succeed. Mr..
Cook has not one thing to do with
work now, since he has voluntarily
given it up to other hands. Further
more he has given the Association his
word of honor that he will not inter-
fere with the present plans by ac-
cepting work in the Cemetery during
the time that we have the regular
Sexton employed. We do urge upon
those who have work to do, and who
have been members of the Associa-
ton to please let the present Sexton
know what they want done on their
lots, and with each one giving a little
more personal supervision to the
work. there is no reason why it should
not go forward in a most satisfactory
way, even if we have had to make
this change of Sections. The work
will probably begin the lst or 18th
of March. the weather determining
the exact time of starting.
Let rs many as possible be pres
ent at this meeting Tuesday, Feby.
%. that we may make a good start
on the years work by showing our
personal interest in what it before
us, and thus pledging u loyalty and
support to the Association and its
plans
Sincerely,
EVA II. WHITAKER, Sec.
