Essay on Pants.

Pants are made for men and not fol
women. Women are made for men
and not for pants When a man
pants for a woman and a woman pants
for a man, that makes a. pair OF pants.
Pants are like molasses; they are thin
ner in hot weather and thicker in
cold weather. There has been much
discussion as to whether pants is sing
ular or pulraL Seems to US that when
men wear pants it is plural. and when
they don't wear pants it is singular.

HERE'S HOPING

Nl<NE have a serious problem
~ in Russia. 1t is task
that might be under
taken in any one of various
ways. We could cooperate
with the allies and boldly send
an army into Russia, hoping to
rally sane minded Russians. into
a move for the resumption OF
the war against Germany.
Doubtless there is a very large
element of the Russian popula-
ton ready to take up with such
a step.
Another course would be to
send an economic commission
under military protection with
the idea of giving such aid to
Russia as would restore order
there and permit the admins
tration of affairs on a basis of
friendship for the allies. This
would seem a round about way
of accomplishing our end and
an uncertain one. Difficulties
would arise from the fact Rus
sia has no government worthy
of the name We certainly have
had our fill of the bolsheviki
and will not rely on any Lenine-
Trotsky promises.
All in all it would seem like
we should go into Russia with
much strength and a strong,
decisive policy or stay out.
Half way measure might be
worse than useless. A real
show of strength by the allies,
led by Uncle Sam, might bring
the lost brother back to sobri-
ETY..
However, there is so much
confusion over the facts as to
Russia and there are so many
phases of the situation the
public does not comprehend
that lay opinions are worth
less.
If we enter Russia let it be
hoped we do not make the same |
mistakes Kerensky did.

Preparedness the Thing.

Much OF the actual loss in complying with that
ooalless-~orkless order due to confusion aris-
ing from the suddenness with which the order was
imposed But, having had the experience of a
eosess-workless period, the folks meet in bet
ter fashion, the Mondays that are to come, and
actual loss can be pared down to the minimum.
To curtail losses It is necessary to know what
and where the losses were. 1t is unwise in the
Manufacturer, storekeeper and amusement proprie-
tor to figure that shutdown period as all loss, if
their increase OF business the succeeding days in
fact wiped out a large part of the losses of that
period. For instance, take such institutions as the
sers. billiard halls and bowling alleys which were
exempted on Monday but closed on Tuesday, that
they might get the holiday business Of Monday

The Kaiser's New Job.

Oh, what is all this in hell the fireworks and
hollerin':
Why Satan has resigned his job to William
Hohenzollern.
Old Satan had brilliant reign before he abdcated
But he was old and out of date, his methods
antiquated.
The imps below looked for a ruler wickeder and
wiser,
But all their search had been in vain until they.
found the Kaiser.
The fends' down there have watched his doings
since the great started
They were delighted with the deeds that made
us broken-hearted;
And they grew hopeful when they saw his cruel
ties inhuman,
His manning little children and his brutal way
with woman; .~.
His sheling grand cathedrals and his singing
hymns of hatin',
So they decided to get rid OF chicken-heafted
Satan;
And Satan quailed and felt ashamed to think that
through the ages
His own worst deeds did not compare with this
upstast's outrages;
He glanced at bleeding Belgium and knew he
wasn't "in it."
And Nero's deeds did nof compare with this
mans for minute.
So Satan climbed down from his throne sadder
ieBd, but wiser
For he well knew that he was simply outclassed
by the Kaiser.

the first two days mentioned showed little falling
off, clearly, threatened losses can be reduced, may
be eliminated by special attractions on the work
less Mondays to come. It is to dig harder rather
than lie down.
Nothing in this should be taken to mean that
we like workess Monday, or any other day, by
government edict. But. unless there IS radical
change in conditions, we are going to have coal
less-workless day each of the coming nine weeks.
We now know what we're up against and. IT we
meet the emergency in right spirit and profit by
our experience, ought to be able to cut the ac-
tual loss to point that hurts the least.
Had the nation, year ago, known what was
coming and prepared for it, all OF US, today would
be crowding and jamming each other at store eoun-

Hertling and Akace-Lorraine.

However cannot talk OF the cesson OF

The above is taken from the peace terms Of
Germany as outlined by German Chancellor Hert-
ling. 1t has logical sound the face of it, and
simple statement it is probably true, but with
the explanation that should go with such state
ment it would probably read like this:
However, cannot talk of the cession of
.Alsace-Lorraine, as the imperial German govern
ment has spent years substituting the natives of that
country, forcing them by the direst penalties to
speak no other language but German and to change
their entire mode of living to conform with German
customs. We could not bear to see this evidence
