so that they can do more war work. VI
course we NAV need to hang up our Liberty
Ronds and War Savings Stamps to cover
some bare places, but at least we will all be
tooether-hence we will be happy.
Mother spent whole day deciding upon
summer furniture, and finally chose ma
finish wicker. for it looks so cool and sum-
mery, and there are so many new pieces now
made in wicker that you never dreamed OF
buying few years ago. She got big, roomy'
deep-seated chairs that remind you OF coun-
try club porches a chalse lounge desk maya
zine and telephone stand, and lovely table
that has chairs made to fit right under 1t and
take ND so little room, and that will be just the
thing for summer suppers and porch card
parties, and the like. Of course, she chose
wicker tea wagon, for they save so many
steps for everybody Then she found a table

wicker. with the wicker shades lined IN the
same cretonne that she selected tor the cush-

the war is keeping us in town, and know
that we can keep up our war work much
better, work that is so much needed now
when our own men are being brought home
manned and wounded as they are to our
nearby hospitals.
There is but one thing more that mother
wants for her summer furnishing; She has
visions of convalescent soldiers loling in our
bio, cool, comfortable chairs and having a
good goo time generally with US, while know
that all the time there is a big longing in her
heart for her own boy who has gone over
there" and she is hoping that the hearty
laugh that she hopes to hear from these sol

do it, will be but an echo of laugh on the

BIG DEMAND FOR
SKILLED LABOR
SCARCE HERE

A correspondent writes to the New
York World complaining that in spite
Of the reported scarcity of labor,
there are plenty of work people walk
the streets in search of jobs He
quotes the records of employment
bureaus and charity societies to prove
it. He argues that the shortage is
all in skilled labor, but that as usual
there is a great army of unskilled Ia
borers who cannot find work through
the winter. When summer comes
they can get jobs on farms, but not
now.
His theory is somewhat controvert-
ed by the fact that the issue of the
newspaper containing his letter shows
20 columns of advertisements OF
Help Wanted" and only two col
umns of Situations Wanted" Under
normal conditions there are apt to be
many more Situations Wanted" ads
than the other kind.
Yet it remains true that the great
demand is for trained mechanics. The
fact that a man has never acquired
ability to work at any trade is a con-
fession of inferiorfty. Every en-
ployer is suspicious of him.
No doubt in many cases unemploy-
ed men are physically unable to per-
form the harder tasks of manual Ia
Dor. But if they had gained ability
at any good trade, they would BIZ
able to find positions where the de-
mands on fran physique would moi
be too heavy.
Young men ought to realize from
these conditions the absolute neces.
sity of learning some vital and i'm,
portant trade. When they simply
perform mental services or light task!
that any child could do they are
helpless in times of depression or sud
den exigency. Once they learn hov
to perform some task that is vital!
necessary to the industrial organiza
ton, their livelihood is secure sc
long as they keep their health.

NOTE BOOK
DOCTORS
By LEE PAPE

Doctors are people who give you
medesin wen you're sick, and if you
get better you think the medesin did
it and if you die you don't know the
diffrents.
If a doctor asks you to leeve him
see your tung you do it rite away, but
if enybody elts came up and asked
you you would proberly tell them to
mind their own bizniss and look at
their own tung. A doctor knows more
about your insides than you do your
self, no matter how good you are in
Theology. If people knews as mulch
about their insides as doctors do, it
would proberly make them nerviss.
Doctors have a office and a room
for people to wait in, wich no mat
ter how sick you feel wen you start
to wait in it, you feel sicker after
you've waited a vile looking at the
other people setting there feeling sick
too.
Wen people feel all rite and see
the doctor on the street, they say
hello to him as if they dident think
he was eneybody special, but as soon
as they feel sick and he comes to see
them, they say, Good aftirnoon, doc
tor, as if they thawt he was sum-
body crate.
Doctors ride GROUND to see their
patients in a awtomobee1 and a high
hat, only the awtomobeels don't al
ways werk rite wen they wunt to start
them, proving no matter how mulch
you know about peoples insides, that
don't say you know everything.

NEWTOWN Milk
DEALERS MEET
And ORGANIZE

Newtown, Jan. S.-Mi1k producers
of this section to the number of about
so met in Newtown Friday and Or
gained the Newtown Milk Producers
association, and selected Judge Will
liam C. johnson to represent the or
ganization at the meeting of the Con-
necticut Dairymen's association in
Hartford yesterday. ]. Arthur Sher-
wood of Easton has been sent as dele
gate for the Western Connecticut Milk
Producers association which includes
most of the producers in Fairfield and
Litchfield counties.
The NeWtoWn organization is not a
secession, but is formed to more close
ly unite the producers in this section
and to secure closer cooperation with
the other associations. Most of the
milk raised here is sent to the Bridge
port Dairy Co., a concern owned by
the farmers of Western Connecticut,
end capitalized at 500, 900. 1t handles
the collection and distribution of the
milk in most of the western part of
the state.
Some dissatisfaction has been mani
tested by the producers here at the
fixing of the price by Robert Scoville,
Federal food administrator at Is
cents. This is an increase to the con-
sumner of two cents, but of only one
half cent to the producer. The Fed
eral food administrator at Albany has
fixed the retail price for the Mitchell
Dairy Co., of Bridgeport at IT cents
They believe that the variation in
price is due to the lack of co-ordina-
ton between the departments and or
CARNATIONS, and hope to correct II
through organization.

mastery strokes, so brilliant in con-
ception that the Turks never seriously
contemplated their success. But Maude
was always confident Of breaking
through. In the long, costly and la
borious business of evicting the Turk
yard by yard from his elaborate trench
system about Kut, he was satisfied all
the time that things were going well,
and his confidence was infectious.
General Maude's modesty was so
pronounced as to be remarkable. He
detested flattery and would have liked
to have carried on the whole campaign
anonymously. No personal reference
to himself was permitted in any pub
lie communique. He never gave him
self the credit for any successful OPP
Grafton or stroke of genius, or sound
piece of organization. He never lis
tened to congratulations without mini

probably conceived every detail of
the operation, even to the handling
of single battalions, yet, when the
coup was accomplished, he would re-

lined in his routine as a clock He

evening. He travelled light, valfse

thing he possessed.
Time in war is everything was
his favorite axiom. Every officer he
said, ought to have it inscribed on
his shaving-glass.' His work and ac-
tons were governed by this maxim.
He was never late for an appoint

HE possessed great personal mag
netism, especially for his troops. On
the eve of every operation he was &C
customed to send out encouraging
messages to the soldiers, and he made
a point of presenting medals immedi-

had distinguished themselves. Delay

CONQUEROR OF BACDAD- LIES IN
CRAVE ADJOINING The BARRACKS
MARKED BYPLAIN WOODEN CROSS

London, Jan. General Maude, the
cenqueror of Bagdad, who died re-
Gently of cholera in an army hospital
in Mesopotamia, lies buried in the CEN
ter of the British cemetery north of
Bagdad, adjoining the old Turkish
cavalry barracks. A wooden cross
marks his grave, and a heap of
wreaths, chysanthemums and mari
COLDS were strewn over the CRASHES
mould of the desert. Among these
floral tributes were ribbons and artifi-
cial flowers, the tribute of the people
of Bagdad, of the Naquib, and Of the
Jewish school, whose annual dramatic
entertainment he attended a few days
before his death. The nearest graves
to his own are those of privates of
the division which he used to COM
nand.
The British Eyewitness with the
armies in Mesopotamia, in an account
of a memorial service held in the cita-
Gel at Bagdad, writes Of General
Maude:
zones first impression of him was
of modesty, repose, confidence and
strength. Only gradually did one rea-
lie his thoroughness, his far vision,
and his infinite application to detail.
He was a master of detail. Supply,
transport, intelligence, psychological
factors in'every branch of staff work
he was the inspirer and director.
"Ex- officio he will have niche
among the military immortals as the
conqueror of Bagdad, but none rea-
lie better than the army he led how
individual his successes were. He was
more than the heart and brain of the
machine. 1t is doubtful if in the whole
of British military history there is a
parallel instance in which series OF
military victories can be more excus-
lively attributed to the personality OF
one man.
'"The retrieving of the situation after
the British had failed to relieve Kut
the reconstruction of the fighting ma
chine, and the breaking up of the Tur-
kish force in the Tigris, called fol-
qualities which when found in COM
bination amount to genius. In those
dark days Britain prayed for a grea'
man-and he was on the spot

capture of Bagdad were a series o.

SHOULD MAKE A
MILLION FOR him
Cincinnati man discovers
drug that loosens corns
so they lift out.

Local druggists are having a ire
mendous call for freezone, the drug
which is said to shrivel corn, root
and all, without any pain.
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn relieves the sore
ness at once, and shortly the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out with
the fingers.
This new drug is being dispensed
at small cost in quarter ounce bottles,
which is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn from ones feet. It
is a sticky substance which dries at
once, and does not inf1ame or even ir-
ritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
There is no excuse for anyone invit-
ing death by infection or lockjaw
from cutting their corns now.-Adv.
