operate until dawn on New Years Eve.

quiesce one preacher denounced the

The commissioner became wrathy, as
a result, and announced:

from all the farms and factories of the
nation, and at the same time to keep
intact an army of three or four mill
lion soldiers.
In Ottumwa, for instance, there are
many men who are engaged in bust
nesses which are not essential to the
conduct of the war In addition, there
are many men who, having made
their pile have retired from active
life but who still are able to do full
days work every day. Last and not
least, there are many loafers, as we
call them, who are able to exist some
way-I don't know how-but who ap-
pear to be doing no work and certain
ly are not doing all they could or
should.
1.-THE same condition prevails in
every city; Ottumwa is an average
community in that respect. There is
no reason, in my judgment, why law
should not be adopted compelling
these men to go to work at some trade
or business which will assist the gov
eminent in the task which is greater
than any other task can be-that OF
winning the war over Germany"

Then there was Ruth, the girl with

Whom Private Jones says makes

And last, but by no means least,
you know,
Sat pretty Mrs. Gillig, all ready to
60.
Now many, many years ago Moth
er Searle was married,
But the Captain for thirty-two
years had tarried.
An old bachelor, all set in his way,
Until Mrs. G. decided she'd share
his pay.
Then Mrs. Schuyler, from out on
the coast,
OF her love for a soldier began to
boast;
So she, too, is married, l am sorry
to say,
For if she wasn't, she sure could
share my pay.
But, back to the party, party of

Given in honor of the birthday of

Where hire was started, the sup

A match and log or two, a simple

First the bacon fried crisp and
brown,
Then the coffee for it was ground.
Next the eggs were fried, one side

just then the coffee was boiled and
poured in a cup.

ranged that the little chicks can run
in and out. The weaklings can al

hen and may after few days develop

coop has floor, clean it often, If it
has no floor move it often If the
hen is given full range do not let
her out till the grass is dry. One
hen will successfully brood Is to 20
