An ideal is worthless If work isn't

The man who knocks on his town
and leaves it always comes back to 1t.
Because this IL q land of liberty
you have no right to talk like an
anarchist.
It's mighty hard to find the line

stinginess.

man who blurred Uncle Sam and got
away with it.
The man who admits he is preju-
diced always expects the grandstand

occasionally is as ornery as all get out.
An AtchisoM woman who had not
had q new hat for two years wanted
to make her husband feel cheao. So
one very hot day this summer she put
on her old winter hat. Her husband.
like the average husband, did not look
at his wife's hat. Finally. in despere

In his speech to the workmen at the
Krupp plant, the kaiser made the
strongest appeal for peace that he has
yet put up. In fact he whined like q
whipped cur. There was an entire
absence of his customary bravado. He
was making one speech to two sepa-
rate audiences, one inside the German
boundaries and one outside. That he
has begun to fear his people is indicat-
ed by the fact that he extorted from
his hearers a pledge to stand by the
country even in the hour of impending
defeat. This latest plea for peace will
fall on deaf ears. In order to obtain
cessation of -hostilities the kaiser
must put his case squarely up to the
source from which peace terms will
emanate and he must do 1t in un-
equivocal language. His effort to place
Germany before the world in the light
of the injured party will not avail.
Everybody knows who started the
war and for what purpose. His dec
laration that hatred OF Germany
exists in the hearts of the allies may
be permitted to stand undisputed.
They have been given abundant cause
to hate her. But their hatred will not
prevent the dealing out of even and
exact Justice.

Another hitherto untried field has
been opened to women by the war.
The director general of railroads an
nounces that as a result of the draft
law and the higher wages paid in
some forms of industry, the number
of trained men familiar with sched-
ules, routes, fares, ETC., and competent
to act as ticket sellers has been re-
duced and the coincident increase
in the passenger traffic, due to the
enlarged business and industry of the
country and to the travelling OF our
soldiers and their relatives as well as
to the constant transfer of labor, has
created no little congestion and delay
at the ticket offices and in the larger
railroad stations in the country. Ev-
cry effort has been made to remedy
these conditions. he says. and they
have been much improved, but greater
improvement is expected when 1t
shall be possible to utilize the services
OF women as ticket sellers. To this
end schools for the education of fe-
male ticket sellers have already been
established in several of the larger
cities. In them a number of women
are already in training and as soon as
they are fully qualified they will be
put to work in the various ticket Of
fiees of the country. For this work
they will receive the same wages tina,
| are paid to men for similar services.
