An honor list of 90 patriotic
films has been compiled by the
Liberty Loan Publicity Bureau
of the Treasury Department as
among those most likely to have
a stimulating effect IN the Third
Liberty Loan campaign. From
this list Manager Phelps has Sc

Stripes in France. This is a
Pathe film in two parts. Since
this picture is among those rec
ognized by the government, 1t
goes without saying that it is
! worth seeing.

l hate the German Emperor, l
hate Germans all; the big ones

with Indians and EsquimaaX and
those who wear iron earrings
suspended from their nose; the
South Sea Islanders, they're not
so bad lot, the Arab and the
Gypsie, Nasal and Hottentot are
not socially distinguished, but
they are better far than the
blooming dutchmen who forced
us into war, hate the cring'ng
Stacker, and | hate the soullesS
man who fails to help our govern
ment in every way he can; hate
the brainless woman who doesn't
do her bit while all her loyal sis
ters knit and knit and knit. /
hate the alleged statesman who's
playing politics, l think there is
a place for him beyond the river
StYx; l hate the hoarder glutton
with the monstrous appetite who
eats up beefand mutton from the
boys who have to fight; l hate
the thieving profteer who robs
his fellowmen, I'd like to throw
him to bunch of lions in a den.
l hate vice and booze and vermin,
poison, flies, and snakes and
such, but my feeling for them
softens when l think about the
dutch, o the dutch, the dutch! ]
HATE .'em! hate the women,

worse and worser those who

Return Empty Cement
 Bags Now.

The cloth cement sack situation Is se- rlous. and we are taking this means of telling our customers frankly of the exist Ing conditions.
 The demand for cotton for urgently needed war supplies makes 1t almost i'm possible to purchase new cotton sacks. This demand Ia so urgent that 1t Is a patriotic duty to conserve cotton to the utmost. By using to the fullest efficiency an sacks now In the hands of the trade, consumers and dealers in building ma. terials can be of very real assistance to the Government In the present crisis.
 Only by the united effort of every user of cement can an acute sack shortage be avoided. Fe'ay in returning empty sacks or improper disposal OF them to others than ourselves will cause serious interfer- enee with future shipments

any important vote is taken. While
complaint is not made very frequently
about the pairs, it often happens that
an injury or injustice is done to some
pteruber by being paired wrong. Re
SUITS have not been affected very much
in the house by pairs, although it was
said that the woman suffrage amend
ment was aided to a considerable ex-
tent By the manipulation OF pairs when
that close vote was taken. The Jug
Cling of pairs in the senate has on
several occasions affected the vote on
very important measures. This has
occurred also on occasions when two
thirds votes are taken. The question
of pairs prevented a vote on the woman
suffrage amendment Two months ago.
and as long as there are vacancies or
very sick senators it may cause delay
when the suffrage amendment is again
brought forward. But as the matter
of pairs is one of personal arrangement
between senators and representatives,
there does not seem to be any way OF
remedying it.

providing that all men between IL and
so should be employed during the war.
The promoters of the ordinance de-
clared it was a move by which foreign
born people, now earning from S6 to
S12 per day, could be compelled to
work six days a week and not loaf
three, because of the high pay they
receive, thus retarding industry. The
Racine common council refused to
adopt the ordinance. representatives
of union labor organizations and aid
ermen declared it is a drive against
the laboring classes. 1t was agreed
to submit the matter to committees
representing the city, the trades and
