War Shoes.
By Florence Hahn, 623 West Charles
Street, Grand Island, Neb.
Age 49,
l was one of a pair OF brown
shoes and I lived in store. My
mate and / were in the showcase
and we had sign on us saying
War Shoes"
One day man came in and
bought my brother and l, and nine
other pairs like US. The man took
US to the postoffice and mailed US
We then travelled a long way, both
on ocean and land. We then ar
rived in France. We were taken
to a place where many soldiers
were and one soldier named Ned
put my mate and l on his feet and
he and many other soldiers rushed
to place which they called a
trench and got down in there. I
got very muddy, but then I didn't
care, as / knew I was in the service
Of Uncle Sam, and l was very
proud.

A Reunion.

n NcullIUis
"A real reunion day Is being
planned at Park school. Many,
many boys and girls now grown to
man and womanhood remember
their happiest days spent in the old
red brick building. Now that the
new one is finished they will be
eager to see that too. and so this
reception will be given. Many OF
them are far away. even an ocean
separates some OF them. for you
see the young men are now fighting
for our country. But those OF the
former pupils who are in our city
will come and il will be a happy
day indeed.

fine showing selling the bonds.
The school children were so in

their books In their zeal and in one
school in Long Island 800 children
brought their nickels and dimes and
Dough, one bond. Then they
marched to the bank with banners
and songs and the banker made
them a little speech when he pre-
scented them with their bond. -.

"A RICH MANS WAR

OF all the German propaganda in
this country the most contemp tible
item is a sneer that this is ia rich mans
war; The inference, of course, is that
the rich are profiting from the war, and
this is especially effective when circu-
lated among those who have been
taught by yellow journalism for years
to believe all sorts of denominations
about the rich. To tell the immigrant
whose son, born in this country, has
been drafted that his boy is fighting to
protect the profits of the rich Is to use
lies to undermine the patriotic spirit of
the country.
There is an aspect in which this is
q rich mans war; the very practical as
peet that the rich are paying for il. The
proof of that is in the income taxes.
The figures are not yet officially COM
piled, but an intelligent estimate of
them just published shows that thirty
of the richest men in the country will
pay this year $125. O0O, 900 in income
taxes in addition to all other regular
taxation. Some of the individual esti-
mates are worth quoting: John d. Rock
e%feller, $38, 100000; HI. G. Prick,
81, 100, 900; Andrew Carnegie, S., 400, 900;
George F. Baker and William Rookie
Teller, each, 81, 800, 600; Ed ward S. Hank
ness, 5 1000, 900; ]. Ogden Armour,
81. 900 900; Henry Ford, w. K. Wander
biIt, Edward II. r. Green, each,
SO, POO, 900; Vincent Astor, $1,000, 900.
All thirty Of the men whose tax ex-
ceeds 81, 600, 900 pay over to the Gov
eminent more than half of their income
In a way.
We had the other day the example
of two workingmen paying very large
income taxes-John Mccormack, $50, 900
and Caruso, $50, 000-and their readi-
ness to serve the country which had
made their great earnings possible was
hailed as a fine example of patriotic
spirit. But the workingman's pay
ments on the utmost that he can earn
are a mere nothing beside this draft on
accumulated capital to help win the
war. The high surfaces against the
rich are just. II Germany should get
over here to collect indemnities to pay
her war losses the blow would fall
most heavily upon wealth. But the
point is that the rich are not protesting
or trying to shirk their burdens. In
stead, hundreds of rich men and wo-
men are adding their personal services
to the Government without pay TO all
their tax burdens. II this is "a rich
mans war; it is because the rich have
got their coats off and are fighting
with all their might to win it.-Brook-
Iyn Eagle.

Sunday Excursions TO
Wildwood 10 be Resumed

A dispatch from Washington under
date of March 18th is as follows:
Cheap Sunday excursion service from
Philadelphia to jersey coast resorts
will be resumed as the result of repres-
entations made to Director General OF
Railroads McAdoo by Senators FIRE.
linghuysen and Baird. of New Jersey.
The dollar return-trip weekend ex-
cursions to Atlantic City and nearby
watering places were cut off by the
railroad administration during the
critical period of traffic congestion,
thereby causing considerable sacrifice
on the part of people ofmoderate means
who had been accustomed 10 patronize
these excursions to obtain q cheap and
healthful Sunday outing. After con
ferring with the New Jersey senators
on the subject, McAdoo told them that
traffic conditions have improved suh-
GENTLY to warrant the service being
resumed. He took the matter up with
the Pennsylvania and Reading roads
with the result that the excursions will
certainly be running again by Easter,
and possibly by next Sunday.
Senator Baird has announced the
appointment of Upton s. Jefferys, of
Camden, as his secretary.
