POETRY
PILOTS LUCK.

' z This is the sum of the Airman's neea. 'Twixt Heaven and landing grouno, These are the gifts that will help nlm
 aloft Wherever his work is found: .,a. heart beating true at two miles A breast ss' that will find it's bresxh Tn frozen mist or cloud Of gas And nerves that will race win An ear to hear when his motors bad, An eye to watch for the Hun, A hand that will balance plane m With a finger to spare for the gun. But the gift he will value as much as
 his pluck
 And needs must rely ion is-Pilot's
 Luck
 When 2 shadow comes speeding across And he hears the sharp tac- atae Of the foeman that swoops from an And is shooting down at his back; :, When the canvas is flying in tattered
 Hicks,
 Like feathers shot from his wing. And the steering gear all at once be- A slow and, senseless thing; When. the oil tank is bleeding it's life
 away .sE
 And the mo GOT IS getting tOV uOt, And he thinks the next bullet will
 reach his heart, ~
 If the next bullet ever is shot: When the enemy's mitrailleuse Is
 stuck
 This is the marvel called Pilots Luck. When he's flown for three hours df-
 recting the guns
 And, the gas gauge registers ten Ten liters of gas to regain his camp,
 And the mist is rising again; When he can't judge distance. direc- ton or height, And the sun has set long ago, And he hates to believe that his com pass is right,
 For there's nothing. but forests be low;
 When his motor dies out. and he's forced to come down, / | And he aims for an open field, When he dodges a town. a wall and ] ditch
 1 And lands with broken wheel The canals at two yards from the | place he struck & | This Is the marvel of Pilots Luck. 1 -Leslie's Weekly

WHILE EDITOR is AT WAR
FRIENDS WILL RUN PAPER

Hastings, MIMI The Hastings
Weekly Democrat is now simon-pure
community newspaper.
A short time ago Charles Hodgson,
editor of the publication and half
brother Of Mayor L. c. Hodgson of St.
Paul, left for training camp. He had
planned, on leaving, to turn his sub
scription lists over to his competitor.
When friends heard of the scheme
they prevailed on Hodgson to let them
run the paper while he was away at
war. They proposed stock company.
This plan was feasible, but they got to
thinking it over and decided new
company would not give Hodgson the
chance he should have--his interests
would not be protected to as great an
extent as would be desirable.
So they changed their plans, got
their heads together and launched a
purely voluntary organization to keep
the old flag waving over the Demo-
crat. 1t is called the First Aid Club
and will meet such expenses as the pa
per itself fails to net.
When Hodgson marched past his
own Office with the contingent of
drafted soldiers bound from Hastings
to Camp Grant, ILL.,, Rev. c. j. Green
wood, Baptist minister, had been in
stalled as editor of the Democrat, and
Rev. Rudolph Ericsson, pastor of the
Hastings Methodist church, and IL
other pastors, lawyers, doctors, dem
lists and business leaders had agreed
to see the Democrat through the war
financially.
"We took the paper over so that
when Charlie comes home from war
he will find his uneasy easy chair
waiting for him." Rev. Mr.. Ericsson
said. "We all like Charlie, so we
just naturally got busy and decided to
give him lift"

A GERMAN VIEW

A history of the American part in
the war written from German sources
would, as Theodore Wolff remarks, be
one of the most entertaining works ex-
tant. Many Germans, as VOLTS Tage-
blatt recalls, were jubilant when we
came in. America could do nothing,
and to a victorious Germania was for
Plumber! The American bluff that
they were creating an army of mil
lions was really the most amusing
thing in human annals. Then came
the delicious American pretense that
we were transporting those men over
seas by the hundred-thousand month
ly. The laugh grew a little forced,
and then checked itself suddenly
American troops were arriving. But
German humor still battens on the be-
lief that these drafted men have no
heart to fight. Has not German at
tache who plotted so extensively that
he knows America thoroughly, writ
ten a book to show that the war cam
not be popular? A German wireless
communique" reported from London is
probably typical of much that is still
going down the more gullible threats.
New York is the scene of riots against
war; the embarkation of troops takes
place under heavy guards; the women
are rebellious at the failure of the
men to obtain furlougEs. Unfortun-
ately for Germany, even her remarka-
BILE humorists show signs of growing
panicky.-New York Evening Post.

SUFFRAGE AND MILITANCY

st. Louis, Mo-, Aug. IA, 1918.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir:-The following communi-
cation addressed to Senator Reed and
signed by Mrs. Walter McNab and
Mrs. N. O'Neil, President and LIST Vice
President of the Missouri State Suf-
frage Association, makes clear the at
titudc toward militancy of Missouri
suffragists and the national suffrage
organization. Approaching the senti-
ment in the State, you will undoubt-
eddy give editorial or news space.
The letter follows:
at is a matter of keen regret TO
the Missouri suffragists that some of
the Senators have confused the Ma
tional American Suffrage Associa-
ton, to which the Missouri women be-
long, with the Woman's Party form
erly the Congressional Union) with
whose political creed and militant tao
tics they have no sympathy.
May we, on behalf of the Missouri
suffragists, beg you to see that JUS
tice is done to US by making clear the
following facts:
l. That the National American Wo-
man Suffrage Association, to which
the Missouri Association belongs, is
the historic, strong association, con-
tanning SO per cent of the organized
suffragists of the United States.
2. That there is absolutely no con-
nection between the two parties and
that publicly and privately the Mis-
souri, Association, following the lead Of
the mother organization, has deplored
the tactics Of the Woman's Party and
condemned it's policy, feeling both to
be injurious to the cause of woman
suffrage.
3. That in Missouri the Woman's
party has only few scattering men,
bers and has absolutely no standing
in the State, whereas the National
Association has grown rapidly in pow
err and now has strong following.
1t has been, of course, matter of
great disappointment to the Missouri
women that so far you have not seen
your way clear to support our meas
ure, but, feeling that you did not real
ize the present strength of the senti-
ment in Missouri for woman suffrage,
we are now circulating petitions which
will show you how the movement has
grown.
However that may be, we feel that
you, as Missouri's senior Senator, will
do your utmost to uphold the dignity
and intelligence of Missouri's woman
hood, which we feel has been i'm
pugned by this lack of differentiation.

PROTECTING WAR GARDENERS

The Tribune's garden editor believes
that seed dealers should be compelled
by law to mark their packages for
the protection of the consumer. A
good many seeds deteriorate rapidly
after a certain period of time, and it
is suggested that every package should
be marked with the age of its con-
tents. It is also suggested that more
explicit information should be given
as to the special characteristics of the
particular batch Of seeds that are be-
ing marketed. It is said that seeds
are sometimes sold in packets printed
for entirely different varieties.
Reliable dealers are anxious to pre-
vent any deception from being prac-
ticed on the purchaser, and they will
naturally take the lead in doing any
thing to protect them. 1t would seem
as if they could do the gardener a
great service by urging the legisla-
ton suggested. Inscriptions deal
ers ought not to be allowed to take
advantage of the war garden move
ment.-Chicago Tribune.
