until American dyes and chemicals
supply the world.
At this moment there are 200 firms
in this country manufacturing dyes
and cemicals and these employ ap-
proximately 10000 workers, of whom
at least $4,000 lack technical training.
There is about $1,OO0OO0,OO0 already

About 1900 of our best chemists are

necessities of the war. that will offer
opportunities for the employment OF
thousands of new workers is looked
for by the men who have built the new
industry.
Before the war Germany has a prac.

American firms manufacturing dyes
from imported German materials. Now
we are satisfying our own needs and
exporting about $20,000,000 worth of
dyestuffs and chemicals annually to
the allies. It is estimated that next
year we will export approximately
go, OO0, 900 Of dyes and chemicals and
thereafter the trade will advance by
leaps.

THE FUNNY CHRISTMAS GIFT

The Red Cross worker stood behind the pine
counter in the postoffice lobby putting the final
seal of inspection and approval on fat Christmas
carton for boy overseas.
A hundred such parcels had passed through her
hands that day. and as she listened to the stories
of the women who brought the precious boxes to
her, while she inspected and re-packed the simple
gifts, the Red Cross worker knew that her work
was more than the fulfllment of a government
regulation-it was a sacrament of human love and
service.
But the day had been long, and the constant
pull on her sympathies and tugs at her emotions
had been exhausting She longed for her own
quiet freside and time to con over the mighty les
sons of the day. She almost hoped there would
be no more parcels brought that night.
Then Slow dragging step approached the
counter-and another carton was pushed across.
The worker looked up to meet the shy, embar-
rassed eyes of midde-aged workingman, beard
ed, big, stopped, gray man. evidently foreigner.
His face, and his blue overalls were dirty and he
kept one blackened hand on the box, clutching his
dinner pail in the other, haltingly, in broken Eng
lish he explained that the box was for his boy
with the Yanks-'cross the ocean," And please
he wanted what was on the top of the box LEFT

SOME HAPPY WOMEN

There are some "royal personages' in the
smashed central empires who will shed few tears
over the debace of royalty and absolutism in leu
tondom.
They are the royal women of all the deposed
kingly and princely families. Superslaves they
have always been in spite Of the golden chains
and cages about them and the fawning of menials.
Marriage will hereafter mean to them following
the dictates of their own hearts, not bartermg
of honor and selfrespect and personal happiness
"for dynastic reasons
There are no more dynaStieS to intrigue tor
power through matrimonial alliances. 1t was a
theory that died in the Great War that by inter-
relationship reigning families could strengthen
and perpetuate their power and divine rights.
The folly of it was exposed when William Hohen-
zollern attacked his COUSINS George of Britain
and Nicholas of Russia.
High-born women are hereafter to be just as
free in Teutondom as their untitled sisters. They
will be able to vote if the new republics are real
and carry out their promises of unrestricted SUI
frage
The world will be treated to no more spectaces
like that brazened before civilization so long by
Franz Josef and Katti Schratt and Empress Ellz-
abeth; no more triangle tragedies like that OF
Prince Rudolph and Marie Vetsera in Meyerling {;
no more romances like that of ArchdukgNohn OF
Austria who went away to sea with his "epmmon-
er" wife and sailed to the Port of Missing Men {;
no more such ptiful exhibitions as that of Fred
erick and Louise of Saxony and the tutor q; "
Nor will there be any more such tragedies as
that of Augusta of Prussia and Zita of Austria
pleading in vain with monarch-husbands to stay
the hand of slaughter
These royal women have had no freedom Of
choice as to the fathers Of their children. At the
nod of tyrants they have been given to madmen
and debauchers.
L Their miseries are over.

on the top, so the boy would that first of all.
The worker opened the box-but on the top was
the Great Gift-the thing which the boy must
see first of a'-FOUR ANIMAL CRACKERS!
"He loved 'em so when he was kid" the father
stammered.
And so what was on top was LEFT on top
and the cracker lion and bear, and goatand giraffe
began their strange journey half the world
around from the toll blackened hands of father
to the sun-browned hands Of soldier son-four
animal crackers, funny, beautiful symbol of all
that men live and fight and die for-symbol of
love, of faith, of home.

No complaint about feeding Germany has yet

BAXTER SCHOOL BOARD
BUYS ANOTHER SITE
Will Be Held TO Be Used for Grade
Building Later When
Needed

The Board of Education has con-
tracted with W. w. Wakeman, of this
city, for the purchase of one block OF
ground in the Wakeman addition, to
be used for school purposes. The
block, which is 300 feet square, is de-
signated on the plat of Wakeman ad-
dition as block 5, lots z to IL, and an
equal size Of unplatted ground ad-
Joining block 5 on the west. It Is at
the top of the slight incline in the ad-
dition and comprises the chOisest part
of the entire tract.
The price to be paid Is $4,000 for
the twelve so foot lots. Mr.. Wakeman
reduced the price to the board about
50 per cent under the regular selling
price. He did this because he felt
that the board should secure a site
now while lots are to be had, so that
when needed for a grade building a
few years later, it will not be neces-
sary to pay a high price for a site.
The assurance of school facilities for
small children in the southwest part
of town will also increase the pOpu-
larity of that part of town as a resi-
dence section.
One of the frame school buildings
now occupying the high school site
will be moved right away to the new
site.
