Is the Real Thing.


''I want to impress on you that
this is the real thing, and some day
you'll wake up to realize this Mr..
Mcnamara said with emphasis.
The priorities board can stifle any
industry They have the industries
nailed through the priorities board,
and labor nailed through the labor
board, Mr.. Mcnamara said, but some
manufacturers present thought the
government wifi be fair and not hit
any one factory by taking too many
men from one factory, and Mr.. Nc
Namara read and explained the
method of dividing the labor draft
among the factories.
What are war industries, and what
non-war industries? This question
brought an answer that building con-
struction and barber shops are non
war industries-at least part of the
barbers-the general answer being
that war industry contributes to
winning the war.
Work Of the Local Board.
T. F. Brady, chairman of the labor
board of Keokuk, opened the meeting
by reading the instructions from
State Labor Administrator Ulrick.
These orders forbid taking labor
from railroads or war work, and
stated rights Of Keokuk employers.
It urged local survey of labor con-
ditions and quick report thereon.
This will show any deficit or excess
of labor for war needs.
The distribution of labor is under
the local board, T. F. Brady. Joseph
H. Mcnamara and d. J. Hemmy. En-
ployers of non-war work get any ex-
cess In the country, and factories on
war work have the preference and
are furnished labor by the govern
ment employment bureau. The in
structions went into detail of the dis
tribution of labor by the government,

Later more attention was given this
phase of the matter.
Attention was called to the an
nouncement of the federal authorities
that except for men within the draft
ages, no conpulsion will be used
upon laborers as regards their place
of employment.
John B. Densmore. director general
of the United States employment
bureau, has the following in an Off
cial statement in the publication Of
his bureau dated July 80:
Except as regards men within the
draft ages and subject to that law.
the government has no intention of
interfering with the fundamental
right of any civilian to change his
work as he sees fit. In all cases, the
individual workers sense OF patriotic
duty is the only binding tie between
that worker and the war job"

Curious Food Supplies.

Needing the Puget sound call for
food from the deep, a whole regiment
of patriotic seals offered themselves
for slaughter in the Sea island. Ber-
ing sea, and a large supply of their
meat was brought down In January
by the United States steamship Roose-
Welt, for scientific test of its food
value, Phil Norton writes in Leslie's.
Officers of the bureau Of fisheries and
new dish cOnnOisseurs at Seattle sam
pied the seal roast at sundry feasts.
It gave them a grand and glorious feel
ing, they said. 1t makes the stom-
ach feel slick and efficient. 1t Is bet
ter than the meat Of the burly whale.
1t is lark red in color, rich and juicy,
stripped of blubber, as good as fine
beef. in fact. The north Pacific is full
of them. Only three-year-old males
are slaughtered. Little pieces of pork
are cooked with the seal roast, to give
1t flavor.
The walrus, adorned with valuable
ivory tucks. also is being modified.
One of these fat and bulky creatures
would feed a whole troop of Sammies.
"Not So" say Puget saunders; well
eat the walrus and send u beef
across"

Dayton Crops Need Water

A committee of Dayton ranchers
visited Minden a few days ago and
urged the immediate release of
enough water from the Carson river
to save 500 acres of growing wheat
and $50 acres of potatoes. A seri-
Gus water shortage exists in the
Carson valley. Every effort is be-
ing made to save grain crops and
alfalfa fields will be permitted to
suffer where necessary for the saw
ing of grain. For the past two
weeks pasture land has not been ir-
rigated and Is drying at an alarming
rate. The land is of great value to
farmers of the valley, owing to the
dairy industry there. 1t is said the
water shortage will mean a loss to
farmers of at least $225,00O.

DER DASCHUND

NO LONGER IN GOOD STANDING
IN CINCINNATI DOG
DOM

CINCINNATI, o., Aug. 3. = Exit
the Boche daschund from the So
ciety of Cincinnati dogdom.
No longer will the lengthy CANNES
which tradition has associated with
link sausage find company with de-
cent fidos. A U. s. marine corps
poster was responsible for the Ger
man doggie's social demise here.
The poster depicts an American
bulldog chasing a German daschund
with the words, "Teufel Hunden
Devil Dogs), German nickname for
u. s. Marines"
Since the appearance of the ma
rine poster, the local daschunds, OF
which there are a great number,
have led a miserable existence, as
small boys have "sicked" bulldogs,
terriers, hounds and every other
breed of canine on the poor Fritz
ies'' until at last they have been
practically driven off the streets of
Cincinnati.

SMALL SPOONS AS REMINDER
Hotel Mans Idea Brought Good Re-
suits In the Decreased Con-
sumption Of Sugar.

At breakfast In q small hotel a trav-
cling man noticed that the guests In
the dining room were averaging about
two spoonfuls of sugar to the cup of
coffee, though the sugar was low In
the bowl.
In the dining room Of the railroad
station where he got his lunch, the
sugar bowl was empty. Nobody was
grumbling about the scarcity of sugar
or ANYTHING else, because the country
was at war. But a man wearing spec
tacles did lift a big spoon out of the
bowl where the sugar would have
been.
"Wonder why It is customary for
us Americans to shovel sugar instead
of dipping it," he asked a friend.
That night, at a hotel in the city,
the drummer had dipped about four
times with the a~fter-dinner cOffee
spoon he found in the sugar before he
got half as much sugar as he usually
took. He looked at the negro waiter
opposite and smiled.
Eyes, sub, mister" that black dig
nitary grinned. that's whit we calls
the little war spoon The boss. he
says it helps people to remember; and
thew don't use much mOre'n half as
much sugar since he put 1T in the
sugar dish."-Eugene Blake In The
V~igilanteS.

MUN|T|ON
PLANTS SMASH
ATTACKS
GREAT MANCHESTER DISTRICT
USING MILLION HORSE
POWER

MANCHESTER, Eng, Aug. 8. =
Ten days after the British began
their big drive on the Somme a
rush order for 5000 shells was CIV
en- one of the projectile factories in
this district.
So promptly was the order exc
cuted that the shells reached the
British gunners in time to be used
for smashing the enemy's first
counter-attack.
This shows how closely the mu-
nitions plants are related to the
front and gives an idea of the re-
markable degree of cooperation
that exists between the shell maker
at home and the soldier in the
field.
The story of this districts
achievements in the manufacture OF
munitions, illustrated by the actual
operations, was unfolded recently
to a party of allied newspaper men,
including a representative of the
Associated Press, which inspected
the factories under the guidance OF
officials of the ministry of NUM-
lions.
AS an example of the concentrat-
ed energy now being employed in
the Manchester district, it is point
ed out that within a ten-mile radius
of the Manchester city hall the g.
5000 900 population employs 1,OOO,-
600 horsepower. Eighty per cent
of this energy is devoted to the
manufacture of war munitions.

Effect of War on Birth Rate.

In his recent presidential address to
the Royal Statistical society Sir Ber-
nard Mallet declared the United King
dom has lost by the fall in births dur
ing the war more than 100000 poten-
tial lives. During the same period he
estimates that Germany has lost p
100000 and Hungary 100000. The
greater decline in the birth rate in the
central empires is ascribed to the fact
that the poorer classes in those coun-
tries have suffered greatly in health
and vigor on account of the war. while
the corresponding classes In Great
Britain have actually enjoyed more ia
vorable conditions than in time OF
peace.--Scientific American.
