Down at McElowney's garage
there's a busy man. It's McEldow-
ney himself. -One of his Ford re-
pair men left him to settle down
forever on a ranch over In Mon
tana and now McEldowney, or
"Mr. Mac" as Mrs. McEldowney
calls him, has been on the job as
sisting in Ford repair work. The
department is in charge of r. G.
Hawley. This Is one of the spe-
cial features Of McEldowney plant
and large number Of cars are
turned out each week.
McEldowney Is urging motorists
to bring in their autos for spring
overhauling. Later, when the
summer days break, everybody
will want work done,' he says.
These cloudy days make 1t pos
sible to clear the decks for action
and get out a lot of work that
otherwise would almost be impos-
sible."

Everybody Help

Growing food for America under normal circum-
stances is big job. During war it is superman
task.
Growing enough food for America and surplus
for the peoples of countries allied with America in
this war, is an undertaking tremendously greater
than minds of agricultural leaders a few years ago
thought possible.
But it must be done-or the kaiser wins!
To do it requires the aid of men, women and chill
hren who now engage In other pursuits.
Can you help? Will you?
Last fall the government instructed the farmers
that it wished A, 634 900 of winter wheat and
100000 acres of rye sOwn The wheat acreage put
in was 100000 less than asked for But 1T is mil
lion more than ever was sown In this country
before Much of this winter wheat was killed
These farmers will have to plant corn or some other
"catch" crop in those fields. This means added
labor and expense.
Other farmers are asked to SOW q, 100000 acres
i'm spring wheat This is about 100000 more acres
than ever has been sown.
With favorable weather and sufficient farm labor
the wheat crop will reach the billion bushe mark.
That would mean plenty of wheat (bread) for the
United States and our allies
We must not only to it that the farmers OF
America have all the manpOwer help they need, but
we must guarantee them prices which will pay Tor
this increased manpOwer at wartime wages. Also,
it is the duty of bankers and government to loan
money to farmers at lowest possible interest rates
80 that they may buy Seed fertilizer and machinery
to put into crops every acre of land which can be
cultivated.
There must be no Stacker acres in America this
year!
There will be none if the American farmer is
given the assistance he needs.
So getting back to the city man S table, the food
production problem is not alone the farmers. 1t
is the city workers, the boys the bankers, the
business mans, the legislators, the governments,
everybody's.

Dear Miss Grey: Allow me
to take exception to the letter
written by the young lady who
is under the impression that
the people are still down on a
boy in uniform and that they
criticise a girl for going with
the soldiers. l do not think
that people in general-that
is, the broadminded and think
ing people-have any feeling
towards the soldiers other
than respect and kindest re-
gard.
OF course there are some
who are not a credit to our
country, but isn't 1t the same
with any class of people and
with women as we'll as men?
Our soldiers are men of whom
to be proud, and l would rath-
err be seen going down the
street with a man in uniform
than with one in civilian
clothes, for they are fighting
for us (along with other rea-
sons) and they have a hard
game ahead of them. and If
they are men enough to go to
it--that much more to their
credit.
Because people turned and
looked at you was no sign that
it was a critical look, for
haven't you, before now, gone
down the street with a nice ap-
pearing man and had people
look at you, or even two girls
going along? Seems to me
that it is just habit that come
people have, and IL l was SOL
der, who was a gentleman, l
would pay no attention to their
remarks nor to any looks which
they might pass my way. The
time will come when they
will be proud of our boys.

REID'S AUTO
HIT BY CAR

Two automobiles were stripped of
hind wheels Tuesday morning when

The street car struck Reid's mo-
tor in the rear as II backed from
the curb. Two rear wheels were
stripped from the Iimouisine and the
auto was badly damaged. 1t was
swung about by the impact and
Crashed into the car of Andy Knox,
parked adjoining.
One rear wheel was torn off

THE OLD STORY OF

IDEALS TOO LOFTY
l can't help thinking, little book,
that l. too, have been quite as
great a disappointment to Dick as
he has been to me.
Sometimes l have thought lately
that had / been Dick | would
have wanted to annihilate Margie
| Waverly when sometimes she got
on her high horse and went fitting
her lance against the whole world
and yet
Yes, little book, there is always
a yet" l did love Dick with my
whole heart. trusted him as | did
my God. My faith in him was
as firm as the everlasting rock. /
endowed him with all the vir-
tues my mind could conceive and
my heart DESIRE" and then
awoke to find he was just a very
human man.
Little book, think I have
asked you this before. I know
have asked 1t of myself thous-
and times. Why has the Great
Power that has the fashioning of
our souls been so cruel as to en-
dow us with a capacity to con-
ceive an idea that we can never
hope to attain? No man or
woman can reach in fact the
height which appears just beyond
in the dreams that come to all
humanity.
That is the great sorrow, the
great tragedy of all the world.
l - Margie Waverly - have
dreamed of a love that have
never been able to inspire-in
fact. | myself have never felt that
great one-power, all embracing
love that | wish were mine, I be-
lieve if l could have had it, it
would have been Joy enough.
There would be in a love so much
of bliss that even tho this love
was not returned in the measure
it was given, yet the fact that one
was big enough to have this great
emotion in all its ideality would
Isuffice.
l was thinking all this when I
lawn with Mr.. Trent.
| l was quite surprised to see
how terribly Mr.. Trent had
changed in the last few months.
| I had not seen him for a long
time, and, little book, I was shock
ed at his shrunken form and his
gray face.
| / was thinking so intently about
this that | was still lying on the
sofa in the sun room when Dick
and Mr.. Trent came into the
library and before I could make
myself known Mr.. Trent said
abruptly to Dick:
My boy, | am going to confide
in you the most momentous secret
of my life, and before do 1t ]
want to ask you olook on my
condolences as those OF a doomed
man."
| l heard Dick interrupt in a
shocked voice, 81 don't under
stand, my dear Mr.. Trent"
II have been i'll for long time
and l know that l cannot live but
a few months longer at best"
"Oh surely you are mistaken
said Dick.
mo, my dear boy, I know this
to be so as l have cencer of the
stomach"
Are you sure, Mr.. Trent?"
Yes, l have had consultation
with a number of physicians and
lthey have made examinations
(which have made the diagnosis
lsure."
Does mother know this?"
Eyes, your mother knew it over
a year ago. When we went to
california last year l wanted to
have an operation, as the doctor
lsaid there was chance II l had
the knife used at that time that 4
would at least have some years OF
comfort."
why did you not have it?'
Iasked Dick in Mortified accents.
Because your mother, my boy,
lsaid she could not stand the sus-
lpense of waiting while was I'M
lder the knife"

Wisconsin

Wisconsin is in beautiful mess politically. Len
root, republican, ran an Out-and-out loyalty
candidate, winning over Thompson, the La Toilette
man, by only some $500 votes.
President Wilson now comes forward with back
ing for Davies, the democratic nominee, and cam
paign will be made against Lenroot, on the ground
that, in congress, he voted decidedly ant-oyal on
the McLemore resolution, thus making anti-loyal
war on who has just won out on a distinctly
loyalty issue.
However the pro-German republican vote plus
the Berger (sociast) vote 81 592 more than the
Lenroot vote and several thousand more than the
total democratic vote. Anything like solid combi-
nation of the prot German and socialist vote
Berger in the U. S. senate and yet he's under in
dictment for disloyalty.
Can they ask Lenroot to withdraw in favor of
Davies? Why, the man has just won hot cam
paign on platform of loyalty; Can they ask Davies
to withdraw in favor of Lenroot? The administra-
ton is roasting Lenroot for unloyalty in his house
votes!
We understand that Mr.. Berger is out on bail. If
30, there's smile or smoker coming to him.

Answers

Dear Miss Grey: Do you not
think it would be a good idea
to make law compelling wom-
en- to wear dresses made of a
cheaper and still more durable
cloth during the war? Several
OF we girls work in a local de-
partment store and il we were
allowed, and 1t was a fashion to
wear bingham dresses instead
of worsteds and silks, we could
afford and would be SO much
more glad to buy Liberty bonds
or War Saving Stamps. Will
you answer and tell us what you
thing? CLERKS.
Your plan is an excellent one
and should be agitated. 1 for one
think the maid behind the counter
would be much more dainty and
attractive in neatly starched
frOck than in silks and satins
And aside from this, there would
be the ever-Iresent thought, "sht
Is actually helping to win TIKI
