teen different pieces.
'Tll eat you first and then I'll eat

But quicker than q wink, Billy Bum

opened the little air valve and pointed

Abiding On The Moon.

A'ridin on the moon was l.
Last night while earth-folk slept.
An elhn tramp stole a ride
Ger hall and valley swept.
Past fields where cattle lay beneath
In meadows sweet with clover,
Ger cottages where children dreamed
And silence brooded over
Full many a league we sped along
And 10 the sea beneath US
We cast path OF sheer delight
That sh!pwrecked souls might seek US.
For wolves were loosed upon the sea
And a demon pack ran wild,
There tossed in the sheen Of a
U-bcat'S wake
The curls of Il REV drowned child
Still drifting on a'down the sky
We !iGhted No Mans Land.
Ana kissed thousand faces pale
All touched hv Deaths chill wand.
our magic kirdied shattered spires
With lights Of ancient glory,
Ten thousand griefs, a thousand joys
Revealed 10 us their story.
The moon that lights the hills back
home,
No longer beckons me.
For the moon. I know. lights NO
Mans Land
In Flanders DER the sea
And as watch brave thousands die
Who crave no greater boon.
I wonder if they have been
A riding on the moon?

it depends altogether on what parIl-

tho many changes wrought in the
modes Of living. We wore heavy boots
made of coarse leather that was soft

use of melted tallow vigorously rubbed

wear and hickory shirts for the warm

worn on Sundays and special occasions.
We rolled out at the call OF dad early
in the morning to build the fires. Our
boots were frozen hard as rocks. and
after several minutes OF pulling, kick
ing and tugging our feet went into
them with thud. Then to the kitchen
stove. where the water pail. tea Kettle
and coffee pot were solid with ice. The
wood box back Of the cook stove had
to be filled with split wood, dug out OF
a snow bank, morning and evening

water and ate pancakes as fast AZ

The Des Moines Register is opposed
to preparedness. Its policy before the

world war coincided exactly with that
Of Colonel Bryan. The Register har-
bored an illusion that million Spring

tween supup and shutdown and put

ance of this pacifist gang. 1t opposes
universal military training now on the
ground that the democracy Of the
nation would be jeopardized. The mill

is willing to go the limit to defend Sec
rotary OF War Baker regardless of the
overwhelming evidence Of incom-
potency simply because as pacifist
he speaks the same language as does
the editor Of the Register.

beautiful dream. IT can become a

PR1zEF1GHT1NG IN DAVENPORT.
Davenport Democrat

Mayor Berwalds announcement that.
III 1t IL up to him." there Will DO no
more prize fights pulled off In the city
of Davenport, shows that the mayor
has correctly sized up the situation.
The prize lighting game Is dead IN AL
the rest OF the country. and those VINO
attempt to resuscitate It here are tack
ling too big a Job.
They are trying to breathe lie into
q corpse when rigor mortis has ALREADY
set in, AZ the best they can produce
only a poor imitation OF the entertain
ment which the fighters Of q few years
ago we're capable OF SWING. When :
sport has lost IT. vogue Davenport
should not be advertised AZ city
which IL willing to drink it, oreSs
and make face As II It liked It.
The mayor has the right i0ea, ana
we are surprised II the subject has NOT
presented Itself in the same l1nt 10
Attorney General Havner. Evidently ~
has not. for one Of the reasons al
yanced for putting on fights again IN
Davenport has been that they were per-
mitted in Dies Moines, in the SHADOW
OF the state capitol. The answer 70
this Is that Des Moines may like that
kind Of advertising. or 1t may think
that q few pugs may pummel each
other in the back rooms OF the Capitol
CITY and the rest OF the state never
find It out-an indictment OF our IN
telligence that IL entirely unwarranteo.
OF course there have been some OF
these exhibitions nearer to Davenport
than Des Moines-but no one shouid
cite Rock Island as an example TOT
what this city wants. In some lines
davenport prefers to be advertised by
ia contrast with rather than its SINH
larity to Rock Island.

SCROFULA AND

There are many things learned from
experience and observation that tho
older generation should impress upon
the younger. Among them Is the fact
that scrofula and other humors, which
produce eczema, bolts, pimples, and
other eruptions, are most successfully
treated with Hoods Sarsapar1lla.
This great medicine Is peculiar
combination Of remarkably effective

WHAT THIS MARSHALL TOWN WOMAN WANTS.

A patriotic woman, one Of those
whose patriotism finds an outlet in
service from her finger tips, is speak
Ing over the telephone. She says:
When the necessity for conservation
Of food is brought home 10 every one
Of US by the measures adopted by the
government It seems to me that It Is
time that the women Of Marshalltown
stop serving refreshments at afternoon
gatherings. I was at one recently
where war work was being done and
in the afternoon refreshments were
served. Now, 1 do not SO much OBJ
tect to dinners and meals served at
meal times but In this time Of dire
necessity why serve an extra meal or
serve refreshments at other than meal
hours? thought perhaps If your pa
per would call attention to this some
good might come Of it. VIII you do 1t?
1t seems to be up TO the women OF
the city, those who entertain clubs
and other activities social and other
wise. The intelligent and patriotic
woman is thus afforded the circulation
Of this paper whereby to make her plea
to her sisters and suggest concerted
agreement among other Intelligent and
patriotic women to eliminate mid
meals and refreshments.
In this connection it may be pointed
out that the Searchlight club at it's
has always been preliminary to the
exercises. It was a regular dinner at
a regular meal time and from a strictly
conservation standpoint perhaps no
great conservation will be accomplished
by The action Of the club. However, the
Searchlight took the high and patriotic
view that as ore OF the Oldest Gibbs,

ic2s.9nai men, wage workers. saiaried
