How aJohnny caken Got Name.

Corn bread coming into its own is
repetition of the story of Civil war
days in the confederacy. At that time
the bread situation became acute and
throughout the South the people sup
planted the white flour article with
corn pone, later creating what we to-
day know as corn bread Southern
soldiers saw very little other bread
during the war. These fighters south
OF the Mason and Dixon line were
known to the Yankees as Johnny
Rebs," and when it was learned that
they ate corn bread the federal sol
diers at once named it Johnny Cake. I"

Many Lambs Killed by RattIers.

Rattlers, always plentiful in parts
of Washington state, are this year
more numerous than in any previous
season. Sheepmen are forcibly re-
minded of the fact by the loss of
lambs. Older sheep know the menace
in the tattoo of the rattlesnake, and
will change their course at the sound,
but the lambs are often bitten. There is
nothing that can be done for the re-
lief of a lamb which has been bitten.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS ARE
NON-TAXABLE.

When preparing for the issuing of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings Ger
tificates, the national administration
very wisely decided that they should
not be subject to any taxes, federal,
state or local. In this respect, they
are entirely unique, being free when
almost everything else of value is
subject to impost.
AS the amount that an Individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this con-
cession does not deal unjustly toward
other security holders. 1t is simply
an inducement to the small investor
to make an unusual effort in his own
country's behalf, by depositing as
much of his surplus with the govern
ment as possible. Those who buy
these little bonds-and all should do
it-should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return
in April that whatever of their earned
savings or surplus derived from eco
Monies is converted into Thrift
Stamps and War Savings certificates
need not be recorded upon the asses
sor's blank. AS the interest and prin-
cipal are payable in 1923, neither is
it necessary to make mention of the
investments in the return to the in
come tax collector.
They are, as stated, absolutely
free and, as they also pay per cent
compound interest, are the best Sc
curites that one can buy in these
troubled times.

Courage, Patience
and Perseverance
By John Bush

Perseverance is more effective than
violence, and many things which can
not be overcome as whole can be
accomplished when taken little by
little
This fact has been proven in la
boris struggles times without num-
Der, and one of the conspicuous
qualities necessary to successfully
work out and overcome the many
difficult problems with which labor
is confronted is that of moral cour-
age. This is the distinguishing mark
of real manhood, which is the founda-
ton of organized labor, and without
which no individual or organization
commands respect The disappoint-
ments incident to human effort, the
heart-aches and the losses can usually
be attributed to the lack of this ad-
mirable trait in those who fail in
their undertakings.
How poor are they that have not
patience. What is it that distin-
guishes the successful from the un-
successful? Why is it that so many
working people are content to plod
on in their daily routine of poorly
rewarded physical effort, while
Others, with no more real ability,
pass on and excel them in the
struggle for existence, achieving and
winning where the larger number
seem content to serve and to barely
exist? These questions may be
answered briefly by calling atten-
ton to the fact apparent to all close
observers, that few possess the pa
tience and courage to persevere until
all obstacles are overcome and their
efforts are crowned with success.
"He either fears his fate too much,
or his deserts are small, who fears
to put it to the test and win or lose
it ALL" was written by poet who
understood frail human nature.
Laboring men need development and
exercise of moral courage, patience
and will power. Then will they come
into their own and not before.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-02-15
HIGH COST OF LIVING EXCEEDS
WAGE RAISES.

Wage increases of 5, 10 or 20 per
cent are insignificant when compared
with increased living costs that are
acknowledged in the first report of
committee on economists appointed
by the government to study the pur-
chasing power of money in war time.
On the question of living costs, the
committee says:
"The living cost and the level of
commodity prices in general are noA
as we are all aware, extremely high.
The average wholesale prices in the
United States last month were 81 per
cent above that of July, 1914; that is,
the purchasing power of money over
goods in the wholesale markets has
been almost cut in half.
"The rise in retail prices Of food in
the same period has been 81 per cent.
This means a reduction to less than
two-thirds in the purchasing power
of money over foods in the retail
markets. Abroad the rise Of prices
has been ever greater.
Between 1896 and 1914 wholesale
prices in the United States were ris-
ing at the average rate of only one
fifth of l per cent per month; but
even that small rate, long continued,
was enough to make the H. C. of L.
very painful fact"
The committee opposes the plan of
citizens borrowing money from banks
to buy liberty loans, as this tends to
increase bank credits and force in
creases in commodity prices.
"The frank and honest way of saw
ing is by spending less or earning
more" says the committee.
A warning note is sounded on the
results that will follow the business
as usual" theory, which will prevent
necessary saving and economic shift
ing that is essential to win the war.

JOIN RESERVE AND WAIT"

The campaign for voluntary enlist
ments in the public service reserve
of the department of labor should not
be construed as a call for men for
immediate employment, says Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, who urges
these volunteer workers to wait for
orders after they have joined the re-
serve.
"Great confusion and hardship may
result" he said, "from the mistaken
belief that the ship yards are ask
ing for men to come in great num-
bers and without regard to their quail
ifications. The ship yards are going
to need a great number of men, es-
pecially skilled to work with certain
tools. The need for such men will
develop and broaden as the work pro-
crosses. The purpose of the reserve
is to enable the ship yards to get just
the kind of men they want when they
want them and it wants every work.
ing man to stick to his present job
until the department of labor tells
him when and where he is wanted.
The registration of a large reserve is
necessary that the department may
get men of requisite skill and avoid
putting any unfair burden on any
employer or industry"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-02-15
FOOD PRICES ADVANCE.

AS compared with the previous
month the retail prices of food as a
whole decreased 10 per cent in No
vember, 1917, says the bureau OF
labor statistics in its Monthly Re-
view.
In the year from November 10,
1916, to November Is, 1917, prices as
a whole advanced % per cent. Po-
tatoes alone showed a decline. Corn
meal advanced ST per cent, bacon 62
per cent pork chops 4S per cent,
beans 3g per cent, salmon 38 per cent,
milk 33 per cent and lard 27 per
cent.
Food as a whole was 48 per cent
higher on November Is, 1917, than on
November Is, 1918, and 46 per cent
higher than on November Is, 1914.
During this four-year period, corn
meal advanced 127 per cent, flour
100 per cent, lard 104 per cent, bacon
II per cent, sugar rs per cent, and
potatoes 72 per cent. No article de-
clined in price.

United States last year amounted to
$575, 100000 on which net profit
Of S21 100000 was earned, according
to the firms financial report.
