THE CROW'S=NEST

If you chance to listen to scraps
of conversation that may overhear
any day along our streets you will
meet with many surprises. For in
stance, a bevy of young ladies of sup
posed refinement will startle you with
expressions as "by gosh" or
"darned if | know" and other such
explosives. That isn't swearing, you
say. 1t Is the next thing to it. Such
expressions are mild oaths and are
derived from uglier swear words that
the same persons would blush to use
in public. All such derivatives are
su~garcoated oaths and are never ex-
pected to be used by persons who wish
to be careful in the use of language.
Then there are forms of salutations
that are not elegant, to say the least.
To say hello or worse yet, hello
as a substitute for the most
approved forms OF greeting your
friends is a mark of carelessness. if
not Indifference. 1t seems like YOU

and almost objectionable habits. Your

get soft coal now and should get at
once at least one-third of your re-
quirements in order to live up to gov.
,ernment requirements.
Don't figure that because your neigh
Dor is getting his that your dealer
is neglecting you Reason this out.
All cannot be served at once. But
all will get coal before they need it.
Another thing, don't expect the deal
er to deliver the coal without the
pay ready for him as soon as the coal
is in the bin. In many places cash in
advance is required. There may be
people who will be short OF coal when
winter arrives, but it will not be those
who have the money ready when the
coal is ready. The dealers are work
ing to help the government, they are
paying cash to the mines. They must
have their cash back to do more bust
ness. Don't say you canno burn soft
coal at all, you will have to if you
get what you think you need. Fifty
per cent is the limit of delivery that
many dealers place or what a be
expected during the winter. Remem-
Der that in many towns the slogan
is mo cash, No Coal" and they want
the cash in advance. When the
Bookings dealers are good enough
to wait for their cash until the coal
is delivered, you may be assured that
they are being more accommodating
than most of the towns and cities of
the northwest. Doing u part in this
will help the dealer and help
ourselves.

THE BRITISH NAVY

New York World-When the British
fleet, the day war was declared. was
suddenly lost to sight and took its
appointed station as guardian of the
seas, its fighting strength was far less
than it is today. OF warships and
auxiliary craft it now has $500, 900
tons, as against 2,500,000 in August,
1914. The personnel mas increased
almost 800 per cent. 1t has transport
ed in that period more than 10000
600 men to all destinations.
No German battleship or cruiser has
in four years passed the barriers that
the British navy imposed. German
sea commerce stopped instantly. The
kaiser's high seas fleet has been held
in a wise; the German flag has disap.
peared from the water.
A policy of strict secrecy has re-
quired that Great Britain's navy
should do its work unknown to the
world. Summer and winter it has
stood waiting for the Germans to
leave their safe harbors and seek a
decisive battle. S~teadfastly in all
weather it has patrolled the pathways
OF commerce and guided thousands
of ships weekly through the mine
fields and submarine zones. Never
has it relaxed its vigilance, never has
it given the tr%eacherous U-boats a day
of rest. Whatever befell on land,
Great Britain's navy has been there,
an impregnable bulwark against Ger
many's plans and hopes of victory.
Some day the story may be told in
full of the achievements of the British
navy in the war. Incomparably more
formidable than it was at the begin
ming of the war, it is holding the Ger
nan prisoners on land and assuring
to the allies and neutrals freedom of
the seas.

WE OBEY ORDERS

The government has decided that
he newspapers of the country must
ut down on the amount Of paper
hey are using. The dailies We're or
Tered to do this on August 18th, the
Sunday papers will cut down on their
size commencing September LIST, and
he country weeklics are ordered to
reduce their output of paper by fit
teen per cen commencing with Sep
listed in this war to the finish of the
Hun, we will do all that we are or
dered to do, or that the government
deems necessary to gain that end.
The instructions of the government
are that we use at least fifteen per
zen less paper than we have in the
year preceding, and as the Register
has had a uniform size of twelve
pages for the past year it will mean
that hereafter our subscribers will
have to be content with ten pages.
We will endeavor to keep up all the
departments of the paper intact, and
we will be particular not to abridge
the news sections of the paper in he
least. Other war savings measures
which the government requires of the
newspapers, such as cutting off free
copies and exchanges. the extension
of credit on subscriptions, the send
ing of samples, etc, have already
been adopted by the Register and we
are now ready to carry GU the last
of the governments orders. Pride in
a well-balanced newspaper, full of
news and vital information, such as
we have tried to make the Register,
makes this curtailment of space a real
hardship to the publisher. All we can
do is plead the necessity occasioned
by the war and u desire to do what
W is considered necessary to beat
the Hun. We promise to give you the
best reading, the latest news and
everything that is vital and to return
to the regular size just as soon as the
government permits. We ask you to
stand with us cheerfully for this wal
and in so doing we will both
be doing something to help the cause
of liberty and freedom.

A NON-ESSENTlAl

In this day when the cutting out of
non-essentials is necessary for the
winning of the war, it would seem
that one of the n~on-essentials that
could well be cut out is the numerous
discussions and arguments about
things over which we have no control.
This is a time when we should quit
arguing about the things on which
we differ and get together and work
for the essential things on which we
do agree. There are enough of them
and IL there were not, there Is one
thing on which we must all agree.
That Is the winning of the war. There
r certain people placed in charge
of the conduct of the war we put
them There. and now we must sup
port them and do as they order, be-
cause we have given them the au-
thority to make the orders. We may
not like the way they order us around
and we may not like to act in subor-
dinate positions, but the fact remains
hat we cannot all be the BOSS and
we who are left In the ranks must
follow orders. The best officers are
those who can take orders. II the
cutting out OF non-essentials is to be
carried out to q logical end. then the
non-essential of rag chewing should
be the first one to be obliterated
Constructive suggestion is . te
