FOR THE HOME ARMY ALSO

The sO-called ten commandments of
General Foch, cOmmander-in-chief of
the Allied armies in France, should be
remembered also by the army at
home:
Keep your eyes and ears ready and
your mouth in the safety notch. for it
is your Soldierly duty to see and hear
clearly. but as a rule you should be
heard mainly in the sentry challenges
CT the charging cheer.
Obey orders first, and if still alive
kick aftcrward if you have been
wronged.
Keep your arms and equipment
clean and in good order; treat your
animals kindly and fairly and your
machine as though il belonged to you
and was the only one in the world. Do
not waste your ammunition. ybur gas,
your food. your tlGe. nor your Oppor-
tUnity.
Never try to fire an empty gun nor
FIRE at an empty trench. but when you
shot. shoot to kill. and forget not that
at close quarters n bayonet beats a
bullet.
Tell the ruth squarely. face the
music. and take your punishment like
a man; for good soldier won't lie.
he doesn't sulk and is not squealer.
BE merciful to the women of your
f-e and shame them not. for you are
a man; pity and shield the children
in your captured territory. for you
were once a helpless child.
Bear in mind that the enemy is
your enemy and the enemy of human /
.ty until he is killed or captured: then /.
he is your dead brother or your fellow ]

LABOR AND LEISURE


Jack London had a grip on life AM
felt its heart buts. Martin Eden wa
an average man under everyday con
ditions. Martin had had a bette
chance than the men he came to wOrl
among but he took his turn at tn,
common toll.
Stripped to the waist they tOiled in
the fiery heat. From Monday morning
till Saturday night they tOiled in heat
that sapped the lifeblOOd; then they
drew their pay, and, 10 satisfy Nat
ure's demand for a share in the Joy OF
Living. and not having been shown the
real thing, they took the only path
way they knew, and spent their hard
earned pay in a drunken debauch that
lasted until Mondays woIkday caused
them ID unthinkiugly take their place
again in the heat.
Martin called them drunken brutes.
and went to the fields to escape from
their debauchery. But God made man
a social animal. and in time the fields
failed to satisfy Martins desire for
change for the zest of life, for COM
panionship; so he soon j0ined them in
their debauch; for there was nothing
else. That was the pity there was
nothing else; and in time Martin be-
came a drunken brute like the rest.
Man IS not so constituted that he
can labor from week end to week end
without some means Of satisfaction for
The desire Nature planted in his breast
for sOciability and happiness. For
centuries the saloon was the place for
social fellowship. The grog shop, the
tavern. the inn, the wine shop, the |
pulque shop owed their existence not |
so much to the love of drinking inn0x- I
icants, as to the desire for social fell |
lowship. All forms of such places will |
soon be thing of the past What are
We going to substitute for them?
Neither the church nor the movie. the
chief places where humanity can con-
gregate offer the opportunities for ex-
change of ideas and social intercourse.
Few drunkards drink from the love of
the taste of the beverage: but for a
means Of creating an emotion, to rise
above sorrow, grief or the sordidness
of their existence. The drinker is al
most invariably a man with finer SEN
sibilities than his state of life can sat
isfy. The poet to satisfy this craving
for emotions breaks into verse: the
man without that power drinks.
All over the country the saloon is
going; the one place where the labor
ing man was always welcOme.-we are
not considering the quality of the So
rial life to be found there: merely
stating facts. In the saloon he could
meet Dn terms of equality his fellow
workman. exchange news. find a lis
ener for his opinions when he felt
rec to express his views The saloon
IS passed or is passing. 1t is the duty |
Of us who think life will be better
Without it to provide a substitute: to
that there is a social nature
n mankind that suffers without the
opportunity for satisfaction. Make it
possible for man to spend his leisure

moral problem of the community.

Nestled on the hillside at the head
: OF the turn of the great Boyer valley
is the town of Deloit. This town is
rich in "Reminiscences of the early days
of our county, when the first settlers
blazed the trail for those who were
to follow. Across the river from the
town, among the wooded hills, was
where the first real settlement was
made in Crawford county. 1t was

While Review representative was
passing through Deloit Monday after
noon he CHANGED to see men engaged
In remodeling an old frame store build
ing, which is said to be the first frame
building in Deloit. This building was
erected in 1856 and in it H. G.. Laub
entered the mercantile field, he fur
nished the stock, which was sold on
commission by B. F. Dobson. Orren
Kenyon is now remodeling and repair
ing this grand old building and will
move his family into it as soon as it
is ready for occupancy. The front,
which was type of the first stores,
is now being changed, and it will soon
blossom forth as residence. 1t is
claimed that during the past years
nearly every family in Deloit has re-
sided in this building.
In prominent place along the main
business street may be seen flag
staff which was erected this summer.
1t is said that the first celebration
Of our national anniversary in Craw-
ford county was held July 4, 1857, in
Deloit. We are informed that about
fifty persons were present and they
assisted in raising flag staff, the
first one ever raised on the soil OF
Crawford county. While there were
not many present at the first flag rails
ing, it is true, but in the recent rails
ing of flag stats in our county, no
gathering excelled in patriotism those
hardy old pioneers who, with heads
uncovered, cheered the red, white and
blue. 13s - &&@'
Deloit was the second town in the
county to be surveyed into town lots,
Denison being first, although Deloit
was the older settlement. To Deloit

ilization. Long may she wave. 81

more pleasure can be had out of CIV

has spent money freely in the old days
to buy pleasure is finding that he gets
more pleasure over here by the spend

three C's-a clean mouth, a clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels,
loose, daily doses of a pleasant laxative
should be taken, Such one is made
of May-apple, leaves OF aloe, rootsofs

much Of the poisons and the uric acid.
