ence of the best people in the presence of
this distressing situation, and their unwill-
lngness to grappe with it, have helped to
produce the conditions out of which have
sprung lawless and frenzied mobs and timid
officers Of the law. We have strong con-
vlctlOn that lynching is unjustfable under
any any all circumstances, and is wrong in
the sight of man and God''
That kind OF talk ought to hold 'em for a
minute, if backed up by grim determination.
All of the foregoing leads up to the big

men who hold positions in our economic life

1t is perfectly natural for people to form
themselves into political parties. AS long
as we have government, officials will be
selected through party organizations, but we
have come to the time and the place when
the American people want at home exactly
what we are fighting for abroad-freedom
and justice.
The political party, whether it be Demo-
cratic, Republican, Nationalist or what not,
that most nearly approaches the carrying
out Of these fundamental principles Of life,
that party is going to elect it's men.
When the people get to thinking right
they don't care tinker's damn about
gangs, machines, rings, organizations, BOSSES
parties or any other set of combination
They spew on them all, and vote as their
conscience dictates. That's what is going to
be done this year of our Lord 1918.
A sign Of this determination is mani
Testing itself in the matter of prohibition.
Prohibition is coming to this nation sure
as the sun shines. The legislatures Of state
after state are voting to adopt the prohi-
biton constitutional amendment. There are
going to be some more tough fights, and
there are going to be some more shrewd
plays like the one recently pulled in Chi
cago But that only defers: it doesn't de-
ter. Even the drinking American people like
a fair game and good craftsmanship, and
the Chicagoans will probably come strong

Now what is this all for? What is it

Establishments of Chicago are employing more
than 10000 coored men and women; the
great steel mills and foundries Of the coun-

manufacturing and commercial concerns
throughout the country are employing tens

people; they are employed by the railroads
in various capacities they are employed in

are at hand than we have ever before had:

The German soldier does exactly what he
is told, and no more.
A German officer was drilling recruits,
and had just given them the order: "Quick
march'' when he noticed his sweetheart
coming across the barrack square.
Forgetting all about the recruits, he en-
tered into conversation with the girl and
went away with her.
Six months later the same officer was
walking down the main street Of the same
town when he saw some tattered and tired
soldiers approaching him. One Of the sold
iers, recognizing the officer, went up to him
and saluting, said:
''Please sir, what about halt?'
Who has made little or no effort in put
ting in a garden as yet will probably have
little or no garden, but better late than
never, so get busy.

GOVERNMENT MAKING
AGRICULTURAL SURVEY

The U. S. department of agriculture
is making a survey of all the agricul-
tural territory in the country, in order
that the high pressure food production
demanded by the war may be inte!li-
gently carried on. Every farm in the
whole country will be included, the
purpose being not only to ascertain
production contemplated this year, but
to protect the farmers from over-pro-
duction of given commodity, and to
furnish information which will be use
full in stabilizinz market conditions.
The survey will also e., ile the govern
ment and state ,utnoI ties to more in
tclligently assist the farmers in sat-
ting labor and seed.
Am.ng other things, the survey will
ascertain from every I; rmer the amount
of labor used last year, needs for COM
Ing year; amount aud ind of seed o.l.
hand, amount for sale, amount needed;
amount and kind Of i: estock a ycA-
"6os o"ouht uhouhl IoI
sale, and AMOUNT farmer desires to buy;
acreage of each crop grown last year,
and acreage of each crop planned for
coming year.
The government is working through
the extension service of the State Ag-
ricultural college, and the information
will be gathered through the schools.
The school teacher in each district,
with the aid of her pupils, will fill in
a QUESTIONABLE for each farm in her
territory. These questionnaires go to
the county superintendent of schools,
who summarizes them, places them on
file in her office and sends the sum-
mary to the central state Office.
None but government authorities and
those engaged in the survey will have
access to these records. There will be
no danger, therefore, of improper use
being made of the information.

in these various war avocations..
We must save our girls from the
evils that beset them, because Of their
work for our country's welfare. We
must save our soldier boys, too, and
lead them to higher planes of man

bureau of social morality, their cafs-

suffice 1t to say they are engaged in
the most laudable and necessary war
work. They are saving our girls, and
helping our boys.

es. And, as quality of workmanship
is emphasized, rather than quantity,
there will be no excuse for sacrificing
thoroughness. The boys in the schools,
as their share, can find many ways Of
helping the junior organization las well
as being useful to the ladies in the
senior chapter. For instance, the boys
in our own high school have formed a
Strong ARM committee, under the
chairmanship of Mill Budlong, and
as one of their jobs have undertaken
to find packing boxes for the big ship
ments of supplies the chapter is send
ing out, and when shipment is ready
to 60 out, the chairman details squad
to do the packing and see that the
shipment gets to the express office.
According to the field secretary who
visited Glenwood last week, the local
chapter has higher percentage of
school auxiliaries in its territory than
any other chapter in the state. At any
rate, it is hoped by the end of the
present drive, to make one hundred
per cent report for our jurisdiction.

Meeting FOR

In view of the MANY calls for finan-
cial contributions within the past few
the Y. w. c. A. drive were pleased
with results Tuesday evening. Father
J. p. Carrigan very Nciearly defined
the intended work of the Y. w. C.NA.
in regard to the hostess houses and
care of girls and women employed at
various cantonments and his splendid
talk no doubt had much to do with the
success of the evening. Almost 5000
in cash and subscription was raised and
the chairman, Mrs. B. T. Napier, ex-
poets to receive additional sums from
the various lodges. rr
The war picture that was to have
been put on the screen at the opening
of the meeting failed to arrive and
caused some disappointment, but the
orpheum management provided sub.
stitute.

RUSSIA MAY YET

discussions at Brest-Litovsk last Sun
day between DR.. Won Kuhlmann, the
German foreign secretary; Count Ger

foreign affairs, and Leon Trotzky, the
Bolisheviki foreign minister, were par

rupture which bore all the seeds of a
future conflict.

Criminal Prosecution May Fol-
low Reckless Expenditures
at Large Naval Plant
some SERIOUS CHANGES

Z. Washington, Feb. 14.-Investigation
by the department of Justice of the
American fabricating steel ship yards
of Hog Island, Penn, was ordered to-
day by President Wilson with view
to criminal prosecution if the facts de-
velop more than reckless expenditure
of government money.
At the same time Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board indicated that
the corporation contracts for building
the yards and ships might be cancelled,
which was taken to mean that the gov
ernment might take over the yards.
This has been urged by members of the
senate committee Investigating ship
building.
The president asks for the investiga-
: tion in letter to Attorney General
Gregory. -r
Charges of mismanagement and reck-
lass expenditure of government funds
at Hog Island have been made freely
before the senate. committee. Witness
es have testified that the yards for
which the shipping board is putting up
all the money may cost twice the sum
of $21, 100000 carried in original esti-
mates. The slow progress made in con-
struction of the yards and reports Of
loose management prompted Chairman
Hurley three weeks ago to put in full
charge Of the works, former Rear Al
miral F. A. Bowles assistant general
manager Of the emergency fleet cor
poration.
Mr.. Hurley's threat to cancel the
corporations contracts was contained
in a letter to Admiral Bowles, direct
ing him to uncover any Irregularities
and notifying him that Attorney Gen
eral Gregory had been requested to as
sist him. Admiral Bowles was directed
to effect a more economical manage
ment, but was asked to await the SEN
ate committees report before announc-
ing any program of action.
The shipping board, it was learned
tonight, probably will take over within
few days four or five ship yards
working on government contracts in
which progress has been particularly
slow Some delays have been charged
to labor difficulties and some to inef-
ficient management.
If any yards are commandeered their
I
government experts will be put in
charge.
The senate commerce committee in
vestigating ship building will decide
tomorrow whether to make a personal
inspection of the Hog Island plant.

RED CROSS SCHOOL Aux1L1AR1Es

Red Cross work is Of nature that
stimulates patriotism. Realizing this,
and also realizing that in the schools
is fertile field for production of the
materials so sadly needed to take care
of our army in the field, the Red Cross
last fall inaugurated plan for making
:, school children active, working men,
bers of the organization.
This is done through separate local
organizations, known as Junior Auxil-
iaries, in which membership is limited
to school children. A small fund is
raised, but the money remains in the
hands of the pupils, and is used, under
the supervision of their teachers, for
the purchase of material for making
the supplies to be turned out, and
which, when completed, go to head
quarters as the gift of the school aux
iliary.
Auxilisries of this kind have been
formed in the Glenwood, Cardiff and
New Castle schools. During the period
from Lineoln's Birthday to Washing
toms Birthday, all over the country
Red Cross chapters are devoting
especial attention to the formation Of
, these auxiliaries in the schools Of the
country. In the jurisdiction Of the
local chapter, this work is being done
under the supervision Of Mrs. Wester-
man, chairman Of the chapters school
committee. The work Is not intended
to interfere in any way with the regu.
