Billy Bunny and His Friends

Those look like nice fresh eggs,
said Billy Bunny.
They are" answered the Old Red
Rooster, Il just got them up at the Old
Farmyard. I'm going to sell them TO
the grocer man." and then the old
rooster picked up the wheelbarrow and
started off for Rabbitville where the
grocerman had little store on the
Potato avenue.
I'll go with YOU" said the little rab-
bit. and he hoped along by the side Of
the Old Red Rooster. and by and by
they came to the grocery shop, which
was kept by an old lady turkey. And
when she had put the eggs away in
little pasteboard boxes she went to the
cash register and pushed down little
button marked Change" and took out .
green lettuce ten dollar bill and gave it
to the Old Red Rooster. who folded II
up lengthwise and then In the middle
and after that he put il in his waist
coat pocket
That's the lucky way to fold your
bills he said and then he went across
the street and bought pair OF sus-
penders and a pearl collar button.
And just then who should come down
the street but dear Unole Lucky Left
hindfoot IN his Luckymobile. So Billy
Bunny got inside and 50 did the Old
Red Rooster. And what do you think
they did with the wheelbarrow! Why,
they tied 1t on in front Of the Lucky
mobile Just like q cowcatcher on a loco
motive. and then Uncle Lucky footed
the horn three times and once more
and OF they went And in the next

under home conditions, then we want
something done about II right away,
for in q properly conducted training
camp health conditions should be bet
ter than in civil life. Those smart
young doctors who have been neglect
ing sick boys should be kicked from
the Pacific to the Atlantic and back
again if they last that long, and the
farmers of the country are willing TO
form a line and do the kicking.
We want our boys 10 have up-to-
date guns, and bayonets. and hand
grenades, and bombs, and cannon. and
everything else they need to meet the
enemy on even terms. Ii this war must
be won BY killing then we would rath-
er our boys would kill the other fell
lows than that the other fellows
should kill them. There il no pleasure
in contemplating this alternative. but
we are in the mess. and we must go
thru with it, and we want the very
ablest men that can be found in all
the country TO be put on the job, and
70 see to it that everything Is done
that can be done to help our boys to
fight vigorously, and to give them the
arms they ought to have.
We want the senate committee TO
go right on investigating. searching
for the weak spots in the army organ
ization. and mercilessly exposing in
capacity and inefficiency wherever 1t
may be found. We are not pre- Judging
anyone But we do want the very best
men we can get on the job. The SEN
ators and congressman are our rep
resentatives In Washington. We are
depending upon them to see to it that
everything Is done that can be done to
win this war. We want them to for
get politics forget political animosi-
ties. forget personal enmities, forget
everything that will retard them in
doing what we have a right to expect
them to do.
No government official should object
to having his work investigated ana
criticized II criticism Is deserved. The
fact that he resents such investigation
By the representatives Of the people
;s prina facie evidence that he In not
the right man for the place he IL I'LL

struggle. the great battle for the Ideals
Of Christian civilization. 1ncompe-
tents must get out Of the way. E1-
plantations and excuses are not accept

who can get results.
The farmers Of the country will have
no patience with destructive criticism,
or mere fault finding. They will hold
TO strict account those whose criticism
is for the purpose Of holding back war
preparation and thus giving aid and
comfort to the enemy But they will
stand firmly back Of their representa-
tives who expose incomperency and
drive out the inefficient.

A HINT 10 HE RED CROSS.

II. E. Leiserowitz, wholesale groc er
of Des Moines, went TO Burlington the
other day on urgent invitation from
the United States food administration
Of Iowa Mr. L. had been violating the
food laws He was fined $400. This
$500 will go to the Red Cross at Des
,Moines. At that he may congratulate
himself that his license was not re-
voked and MS business shaft" a.
The food administration has been
turning over these fines to the Red
Cross. One Felgar a retailer at Mount
Pleasant, sold -four without substi-
tutes. He also ran a restaurant in
which meatless and wheatless days
were not observed. Also Mr.. Felgar
had on hand in warehouse HOO
sacks of flour. FelgaTs places were
closed for a time, his -four, except a
thirty day supply. distributed among
Mount Pleasant dealers who obey the
laws and Felgar signed a check Cor
$500 in favor Of the Red Cross
The consumer caught boarding will
fully since the order is out for re
turn Of flour may also foresee his fn-
ISL. 4 trip to Burling ton on expense
and a check to the Red Cross for a
suitable sum are likely to bring pain
and regret TO his bosom. And that is
the best that lies before him, The
worst includes 5000 fine and two
years Imprisonment or both. Also
more pain and keener regret.
All this is a hint 10 the Red Cross.
The dealer who refuses to obey zhe
rules and the consumer who hides food
desperately needed for soldiers have
nothing coming from the Red Cross o.!
any loyal citizen except exposure and
punishment And the Red Cross could
use the checks. It needs the money.

THE Y. W. C. A. CANVASS,

The I. ". c. a makes the state
ment that there are 1000 business
girls" in Marshalltown To most Of us
men" those figures will be astonish-
ing. Perhaps not one man in 100 has
estimated the number Of girls who are
engaged in "gainful occupation" at
one-half that number,-if one man IN
hundred has ever taken the trouble
to make any estimate al all.
When we stop to think about it SER
iously, how many Of us consider the
girls equally with the boys whether at
home or at work for wages 1t Is a
common remark among thoughtful
persons that nearly all our public in
terest is with the boys and the young
men and little OF it for the girls and
women. And it is a true bill. Still
one-half our population, and an equal
~ important half, is feminine.
And until the latest years women
seem TO have conceded and accepted
feminine interests very much in the
same spirit with the men notwith-
standing that all that has been giver
in such liberality and at sacrifice
has been shared by them in the Civ
ing and the sacrifice. They have la
bored freely for the enterprises ana
measures and in the movements tina

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

From Mount Vernon also comes the
report that many men who would like
20 get hold of land to farm cannot
get it this year, notes the Cedar
Rapids Republican. Every form is
spoken for and it will be under culti-
walton. From Traer the shortage in
lands available was brought out some
time ago. The presumption is that
many men who had left the farms are
anxious to go back now that they hear
about what at 2.20 and corn and
oats to correspond. To those who
farmed when corn was 80 cents and
wheat 50 the prospect must be at
least alluring.

 PROVIDE EASE

LONDON. Jan. 15.-The British Young Mems Christian Association has decided that its huts will be con. terted after the war into hostels for visitors to the battlefields, chiefly relatives anxious to visit the graves or last resting places of their fallen kin.
 The British authorities anticipate great pilgrimage of British people to France and Belgium immediately after the war. and as far as possible steps will be taken to facilitate the natural eagerness of those at home to visit the scenes wheir their rela. tives have fallen. But with a large part of France and Belgium in ruins. particularly those districts in which lie the graveyards, there will be little accommodation for visitors. So the Young Mems Christian Association proposes to use its hundreds of huts as temporary hostels.
