The Careful Observer.
Within the space of FIVE minutes
at Sixteenth and Douglas, last Tues
day, OUR observant eye saw three
funny things. to-wit: A girl in tan
overalls; chimney sweep, wearing
the two-foot- high stovepipe hat,
symbolical of his profession: and
man with Dundreary side whisk-
ers, driving a big automobile. Dun
dreary whiskers fourished in the
early 7Gs and we supposed they
were entirely extinct.
Pif1e.
Not since the name OF German
fried potatoes was changed to
American fried potatoes has such a
blow been dealt to the German mo-
rale as the blow now dealt by that
brave band Of patriots which has ia
ken solemn oath not to pronounce
the words German" or Germany"
until the Hun has been thoroughly
beaten.
POEMS.
| We rise to remark that "Stars and
Stripes" published by the army in
France, is more fortunate than any
other newspaper in the quality of
poetry submitted by its readers. 1t
prints some veritable classics. The
boys over there are really doing big
things and feeling big emotions and
thinking big thoughts. That is why
their poetry is worth reading.
Another.
Stephen J. Coody of the South
Side has been promoted to second
lieutenant. What do you make out
of that, in view of the number of
coolies in the army.
Speaking of coolies. we can make
cutie" about them. They are in
telligent, industrious. affectionate
and stick closer than a brother. Not
so bad, Ell?
Extraordinary.
One of the most remarkable COIN
cidences recorded in history is that
which occurred when the Ameri-
cans cleaned out the St. Mihiel sa-
lient on the very day when the Ger
mans had decided to evacuate il
after holding it for four years.
BUTTER.
We don't seem to be able to think
up a cutie" to get off about the
mounting price of butter. It's toe
durn serious thing to jest about.

You're funny fellow poiu in your dmky little cap
And your war-worn, faded uniform of blue;
With multitude of haversacks abuge from heel flap
And your rifle that is big you
Your made for love and laughter good
Now your sunlit world has sadly gone astray,
And the road today travel stretches and long,
Yet you make it, petit sodat brave and gay.
Though live within the shadow tagged and hungry while
And your days and nights racking in the line,
There nothing under heaven that take your smile
Oh so wlstful and so patient and so fine
You are tender with the tiny who crowd
To upraise their lips and for your kisses pout;
Still we'd hate to have face when the bug sounding
And your slim, steel sweetheart Resale out
You're devoted to mustaches which you wirl with air
Der cigaret with nigh an inch run,
And quite often noticed beard that's full Of hair
But that heart of yours is always twenty-one
No, you do not parle English and find very hard,
For you want to chum with and words you lack;
So the shoulder and Nous con1arades
We are that, my poiu pal, to hell and back.

THE DAY WORKERS INDUSTRIAL
UNION.

In view of the fact that living has
increased $50 per cent in the last Is
months, the Colored working women
of Kansas City have organized into
what is, known as the Day Workers
Industrial Union. under the American
Federation of Labor, for a so per cent
increase of wages, thus receiving $40
per day instead of $1.60 per day. The
Union members are demanding the
Union wage, $2.10 per day, and all are
receiving it with little protest. We
are making an earnest appeal to all
women that do any kind of work by
the day to join this union. Do not be
afraid of losing your work, as no n
is doing day work but the Colored
women, and this is your opportunity
to ask for what we want and receive
it as well, as the high cost of living
makes it necessary. Joining fee, 50
cents. Meetings every Thursday even

and Woodland avenue

BIG BUSINESS FOR VERMONT.
New Chocolate Factory Gets Million-Dol
lar Order

Burlington, Jan s.-0ne million dol
lars in manufactured goods is the fiatterr
ing order just received by the Vermont
Milk Chocolate company from the Bel.
GUM government and commission for the
relief of Belgium.
This contract is probably the largest
every placed for sweet chocolate, and il
was received in open competition with
all other competitors.
The chocolate company was the highest
bidder, but quality of goods got the
business.
Power is now installed and work has
already been commenced TO fill this stu.
pendous order at the company's plant
and a night shift will be put on during
the week to hasten things along.
Sixty hands are already employed at
the plant and Supt. Edwards is taking
on new men every day.
Some idea of the size of the order
may be gained by stating that il will
require $4,000 bags of cocoa beans or
nine million pounds to complete it.
The new building is the finest in the
country for the manufacture of milk
chocolate, and is the last word in machine
cry and methods. There is floor space
Of 5000 feet.
The finished product will be turned
out in a short time.

SAYING MUCH COAL
nv VERMONT TOWNS
Churches Are Among the Leaders in the
Movement to Relieve the Acute Fuel
Situation, Says State Fuel Ad-
ministrator Jones.

One OF the Montpelier reporters, in yis-
iting State Fuel Administrators ii. j. Nj.
Jones at his office in the State House
Tuesday, found that he is much pleased
with the cooperation which the churches
have given him in the Work of conserva
ton OF coal. He gave the following state
ment relative to the results obtained.
1.-The Montpelier Protestant churches
have arranged to hold all meetings in
their vestries, for the purpose of consery-
ing coal While the consolidation of
church services was favored by some OF
the ministers, it was discovered that a
greater saving of coal could be effected
by closing all of the auditoriums and
each church holding all of its meetings
in its yestry. | want to commend them
very highly for their Christian and pa
trietic sacrifice, as this arrangement will
save from so to TO per cent. of the nor
NAL amount of coal consumed. Father
Long also is doing his part and is con
serving coal in many ways | want TO
hold up the Montpelier churches as an
example to the entire state 1t has also
been a great source of satisfaction to
learn that the churches of st. Adams

i would help to solve the fuel problem

hearty thanks to the school authorities,
who so kindly acted on the advice of the
uel administration, deferring opening OF
chools until Jan. IA. | hope to hear such
eports from the clubs, lodges and other
,rganizati tons that will enable me to is
uc word of commentator to them. |
Reports from all over the state indicate
hat the churches are making a strong |
fort to unite or in some manner to eff |
ect saving of coal. The fuel admins
rator does not appeal to the churches
nd schools alone to conserve coal. but il /
