Billy Bunny and His Friends

Well. by this time Billy Bunny waa
dressed and so were the three little
grasshoppers, SO they all went down
stairs. and one of the grasshoppcrs
crawled thru a crack under tho front
door and peeked down through knot
hole in the floor of the front porch.
But he couldn't see that old owl. for he
wasn't there, you know. but OF course
the grasshopper wasn't sure. So he
hoped across the porch and down the
steps, and thcn he looked way. way
underneath. But the only thing ne saw
was a sleepy old toad who had Mapped
under there for the night. because he
was afraid he would get wet with the
dew and catch the Spanish influenza or

THE ROAD MAP.

get to Fort Dodge from Webster CITY
can reach his destination by going 70
Jewell. Boone, Stratford and on to the
Fort. But If he cares anything Tor
time. he will take direct course on
the Hawkeye highway to the west
Either route will bring the same re-
suits. Likewise, if the allies are not
going to stop short Of complete victory,
why not take the short cut and not
haggle around asking questions, send

HUN MINDS IN BURLINGTON.
Huntington Hawkeye.l
For many weeks the Hawkeye has
been advocating the necessity OF more
thoroughly impressing upon certain
people the respect due the United
States flag when it passes on parade
and urged that men be detailed for this
purpose. If necessary.
Where the mistake was made was
in assuming that all of the disrespect
shown the flag was thru ignorance
lack of proper loyalty education and
boorish manners.
Yesterday four men were detailed
from the battery to go ahead OF a mill
tary funeral procession and request
men to remove their hats.
1t is bad enough that such thing
is necessary, but what Is to be said
of Sergeant Smiths report as told on
the news page Of the Hawkeye this
morning? Four men refused to remove
their hats. and only did SO when threat
ened with arrest.
Unfortunately the sergeant did not
carry out his threat, after it had ac-
complished its purpose, nor did he Sc
cure the names of the Hun minded
yellow dogs who made this threat
necessary.
Sergeant Smith is to be commended
for his action, but the battery Is soor
to be disbanded SO that organization

And the British fight to save those

the heavy cannonading a few kilo-
meters away. AS these men suffer and
fight for life in the long. white wards.

STOP IhE CLOCK.

Stop the clock. That's the law.
When the eth of October arrives tins
changes again to sun time and the
clock must conform TO it. OF course
YOU can turn the clock back an hour
but that is generally assumed to be
bad for the clock.
II is sensible change. Just as
sensible as the change made last
spring. II is also just as easy to
make. There is nothing sacred about
clock. 1t is to be turned forward or
back as commonsense indicates.
And commonsense and experience
are both witnesses to the advantage
gained this summer by the change Of
clock time. The probabilities are that
the custom viii continue after the war
Some adaptation may be made such
as the opening of schools in the coun-
try and a few other adjustments but
the changed time has heightened the
useful day and given opportunity that
has coined itself in advantage from d
doze different directions.
The wonder is that We hadn't done
it long ago The only good reason We
had not is that we are slow to change
a custom Of years. But having learned
how wise and advantageous the change
has been we shall surely have good
sense enough 20 continue it
OF course there is no advantage in
getting up before daylight simply TO
avoid turning clock one way or an
other Neither is there anything but
loss in wasting daylight in the sum
iner time.
