QUIZ coaxlNe AND coLLEcr.

Instead Of depending upon patriotic
citizens to save -four and sugar in
what the government assures us is
desperate emergency. coaxing the food
Stacker and generally taking an apol-
ogetic attitude why not in the name
of effectiveness and the power Of the
United states take without apology or
excuse whatever is necessary to the
maintenance Of our soldiers and the
progress of the war?
Why not a strict -four and sugar
card that will absolutely limit con-
sumption of wheat -four to the l3e
pounds per week per person and OF
sugar to the three-fourths pound per
individual. 1t is enough and more than
enough There would be no suffering
under that Limitation. There would be
no suffering if wheat -four were Ia
booed in the homes from now on until
the new crop is harvested and milled.
The way to save -four for the armies
is TO take il for the armies, take all
they need first and let the rest of US
flicker. If they need all the wheat
take it all. If they need all the -four
gather it and make army bread of it.
There are over supplies all over Iowa
today, over supplies that are being
bought up by cracker factories under
permission Of state administrators
Crackers never get to the front. Take
the -four away from the cracker bak-
cries and make army bread of it.
Army bread will keep six months.
Suppose the profits. of a cracker com
pany are thus limited. Other profits
are limited. The war comes first.
There seems to be an obsession
toward lecturing and lack of action
that delivers the -four to the armies.
The mails groan under the tons of al
legged publicity that thousands Of
persons who ought to be at work on
some useful task are grinding inter-
Ininably thru type writer's and printing
presses. Does disloyai propagandist
show up? Lecture by the U. S. mar
shall. Does some person utterly refuse
to conform TO the conservation plans?
Lecture him.

That's very kind of you. Mr.. Lucky

cons got into the Luckymobae and
Billy Bunny made 1t go straight for
Uncle Lucky's house, for the little
rabbit was delighted to think they
were going to have two pretty pigeons
in the old barn.
Well, pretty soon, not so very long,
they came to the little white house
where dear Uncle Lucky lived and
as soon as they had put the lucaymo-
bile away in the garage they showed
the two pigeons their new home. And
1t was a very pretty little house let me
tell you It had small porch and q
nice door and two little windows, and
It didn't take Mrs. Pigeon long to
make the little bed either. And what
do you suppose she used for sheets.
Why two linen handkerchiefs which
Billy Bunny gave her, and for cover
let she took Uncle Lucky's blue SILK
polkadot handkerchief which the dear
kind. generous old gentleman rabbit
gave her. And in the next story may
be I'll tell you eoms moro about the
little pigeon house.

IIAlY 10 The FORE.

| The disaster and Generalization OF
/ the Italians on the Isonzo and he ap-
parent cowardice and traitorism OF
! certain elements of the Italian army
gave the world a bad impression Of the
| Italians as fighting men and patriots,
1t was a wrong impression as il con-
cerned the Italian soldier and the Ital-
ian people. That ;nere was betrayal is
evident but it was not from the mass
of the Italian people Or from the great
patriotic mass of Italians.
Italy stineaed OH her goal line. She
held with the assistance that was
rushed to her by the allies. And she
is holding ana likely TO hold The war
came home to the people of Italy when
the Hun ravaged her borders and
threatened her integrity. And then
Italy stifened ana got into the war.
She is in and in strong. One of the
surprising later developments is that
Italy, seemingly crushed should offer
100000 men to the allies on the west
front. She sent men at once and Of
tered more up TO a half million.
Italy lacked munitions and money
but she has not lacked men and good
men for her army She had great
army of militia fairly trained for mill
tia troops. II numbers two millions.
Italy had fairly effective force of a
million that she might put into war.
When the disaster shocked her into
intense activity she began to make
first class troops of her reserves. Al
together she has about three million
men of actual lighting material The
Isouzo disaster not only stirred Italy
but it stirred the rest of the entente
and the United States. Italy has had
help in money and material. She had
the men and she has the willingness.
Holding the Piave in stern defiance of
Austrian attack she offers a mighty
army to her allies and astonishes the
world.
1t was a great recovery, a nagnti-
cent Renaissance Of patriotism to
come upon the heels of defeat and dis
aster She held off her enemy while
she suppressed and overrame internal
difficulties which might well appeal to
a mightier nation.
When we are counting the heroic
achievement of nations with their
backs to the wall let US not neglect the
finest exhibition of complete courage
and determination displayed by a ma
ton counted already beaten but which
like Paul Jones had only just begun
to fight"

UP IN THE ATIiCS.

Remember when as a child we used
TO go UP into the attic AID hunt out
things? And low every now and then
we'd come across something that We
hadn't the slightest idea Of what it
was and how il had been used only to
find out on inquiry that it was nee
essary and useful utensil when ma
was girl? Well were rummaging
the garrets of past generation now
adays for useful arts and processes.
You know those fathers and mothers
and grandparents Of ours depended
very largely on themselves. They
butchered their own meat, made their
own lard chopped their own stove
wood and generally waited on them
selves. Now that the question Of wait
ing on ourselves Is coming right up
to as with the war and its changes
we're hunting the attics for forgotten
ways and means and processes.
For instance; The government Is
urging folks 10 make their own soap.
Make soft soap it says and goes on TO
give the process Of soap making as
conducted by the efficient lady, your
grandmother and mine. Her grand
daughter never saw a key of soft soap
In her life. II maybe that grand
daughter never saw q washboard un-
less she saw It In a store window. But
If this thing keeps right on as 1t olds
10 DO ike as nol grandmother re-
hottest female descendant may scrape
a closer acquaintance with the cor
rugations of that zinc covered poaro
that granny knew so well.
Next year ought to be good year
to make soft soap in. OF course SOIL
soap can be made with concentrated
lye-if you can get the canned caustic
but the right way to make 1t Is

Then too you'may recall the grease
box. Into that box went all the grease
offal. 1t got pretty rank betimes and
had none Of the fragrance of a rose
garden. Meat rinds and all mannel
of discarded fats accumulated there.

what 1t means disioyalty Of the COM
moner sort can and will be promptly
stamped out by the present constituted
authorities under the urgency OF Amer
lean citizens. In fact we seem to be
doing quite as well in suppressing or
binary disloyalty at present with shaky
law to do it with as the ultimate au-
thority seems to be doing with actual
German spies and pro- German pro-
paganda of the ,hochgeboren sort.
And now a genius has figured 1t out
that the long range German gun is
concealed within sixteen miles Of Paris.
Now it is up to some other scientist to
describe the silencer with which 1t is
equipped.
OF course. man like Schwab may be
drafted because he knows his duty and
must do it like man. But the agita-
tor who wants to strike every other
day or the man who ought to work
and is too strong to work mustn't bc
conscripted to do his part in war
that is as much his as it is that Of any
citizen.
Those frost raids arc merely outpost
affairs. They can't break thru the

eral Frost has been superseded and

we wouldn't have missed him bitterly

Well. Old Man Weasel didn't jump
out from behind a tree to frighten
Billy Bunny and Uncle Lucky. and
neither did Daddy Fox as feared
they might in the last story, and after
the two little rabbits had put the new
tires on the Luckymobile they rode
away to seek another adventure. For
they were always on the lookout for
something new. and perhaps that's the
reason they were always getting into
trouble. altho sometimes people who
stay at home get into pecks of trouble
so I've heard.
Now. after while, but not so very
long, whom should Uncle Lucky spy up
in tree but little white pigeon and
she was singing all to herself this
song:
love the quiet shady wood,
The sheltering leaves of green,
The cosy hooks OF silver brooks.
The ferns OF emerald green.
But best OF all love my mate.
With beast Of purple hue
With him TIL build pretty nest
And sing the GUNNER thru.

Sympathy For Irish cools.

For many years the agitation for
home rule In Ireland was literally
financed in the United States. OF late
the contributions from this country
have fallen off. They will disappear
entirely if the Irish make such dis
turbance over CONSUMPTION as to make
themselves a positive hindrance to the
winning of the war. 1t may be said that
at this moment the old sympathy for
Irish efforts to govern Ireland has be-
come rather faint on this side Of the
Atlantic. Doubt Of the ability Of the
Irish to govern themselves has been
increasing year by year, until It now
approaches the stage of conviction

There are some editors in South
Dakota who are not doing their duty
in pushing war work. They are as
quiet as little, lambs, simply because
numerous Germans reside in their
communities. The newspaper man who
can remain silent these days is either
a German sympathizer or a weak
kneed pencil pusher who ought to be
called on to assist the convicts at the
