TWO uNAMeRycAN WORDS.

British munition makers went on
strike.
That news followed another item of
miner interest published few days
ago. The miner item related to the
great demand and sale Of pianos, new
or secondhand. and explained that
workers in munition factories were
buying them from their wages.
Imagine munition makers striking
while the advance of the entente
armies is on, while men are gaspinx in
that hell of battle across the channel,
striking with the jar Of the guns in
their ears-and buying pianos, with
their wages.
strike Is word that should be
eliminated from the American vocabul-
airy in this war. If it isn't It will be
abolished after the war is over. Imagine
the contempt with which a returned
soldier will look upon the striker and
the organization that struck while he
waited on the firing line for munitions
or food or other supplies. Imagine also
the resentment which he will not hesi-
tate to express in voice and action.
And the American soldier is coming
nome to run this country. make it's
laws and enforce them when he does
come home.
Strife" and lockout" belong in the
war discards. Arbitrate. II necessary
aroitrate arbitrarily. Let each have

WHERE MONEY FALLS DOWN.

We used to think and say that money
had the money to buy with he had a
right to buy what he plased with it.
We are beginning to find out that it
isn't so. There are things that money
can't buy and that 1t hasn't any right
to buy.
Sugar is one of them. Next month
nobody In this United States will have
any right to buy more than two pounds
of sugar. That's all he can buy unless
he breaks the law and thus becomes
n misdemeanant or criminal.
Ordinarily money would have the adj
vantage. If we were going on the pre-
war assumption that those who can
afford to pay ten prices for a common
necessity had a right to all they could
buy with their bigger money sugar
would be 80 cents pound and flour
$50 barrel. II money had the rights
we used to believe it had.
II money had the right of way 1t had
in the civil war a lot of fellows would
be buying substitutes to go to war for
them. Money would buy Safety and
immunity from military service then.
The man who had the money then bid
up until some poor man couldn't stand
the pressure and sold himself to go in
the money mans place. But money
can't buy that now, The only way
to send another man in your place is
by perjury and perjury is likely total.
Money can't buy immunity from the
draft. In rare instances influence may
be effective but it is influence play
ing with perjury.
Money can't buy and store excessive
quantities Of -four The law denies it.
To have more than a thirty-day supply
hidden away makes it's possessor a
criminal. And yet not many months
ago it was simply thrifty to buy ten or
twenty sacks Of -four and store them
Now that is so criminal that it may
land those of us who should do it in
the penitentiary for two years. Money
can't pay any man for two years in the
pen.
1t all figures out that when food
supplies are short, when necessaries
will scarcely go around that money
fakao n hack eoof
Over in hungry Austria money can't
buy potatoes. City people start out
with sacks on their backs to hunt up
farmers who have few potatoes. But
the rich man with money doesn't get
the potatoes. The man who fills the
sack with other food before he starts
and trades for potatoes gets the
murphies. Money can't even buy pota-
toes there. 1t takes something intrin-
sically appealing to the stomach that
Graves a change from a potato diet to
get them. To % man with bushel Of
potatoes to spare and without sugar a
few pounds of sugar or cake Of soap
or package of flour means something.
He can't eat money.
Money is a mighty fine thing to have.
1t does give big advantage to its pos
sessor-except when the show down
comes.
We are learning few things that we
ought to know about money and about
men in this war.

Billy Bunny and His Friends

I've a nest on the mountain high in the
air;
It's lonely place, but it's home for me
With Mrs Eagle ard children three"
SHOW us the way and we'll follow"
said the Jay Bird, and then he steered
his airship after the great American
Eagle, and 'oy and by they came to his
nest high up on the mountains rocky
crest.
So the Jay Bird brought his airship
down on a little flat rock and then
Billy Bunny hoped out and went over
to say how do yol do to the little
eaglets. They show the little rabbit
their thrift stamp books and what do
YOU think this generous little rabbit
did? Why, he opened his knapsack
and gave each a war savings stamp.
Wasn't that kind o. him?
Then Mrs. Eagle went to the ice box
and got out some ice cream cones, and
everybody had feast, and after chat
the Jay Bird said 1t was time to go.
So he and Billy Bunny got into the
airship and went away, and by and by
they were hack at the Brier Patch and
just in time for supper Mrs. Bunny
was looking out of the window. but as
soon as she saw them way up high in
the clear blue sky, she rang the sumner
bell and the Old Red Rooster sang his
cock-a- doodle do song:
The sun is setting way out in the
west
The bird Is flying home to her nest
And the cows from the meadow are
coming home.
And the ships in :he harbor are wet
with the foam.
The day is done and the evening
breeze
Is singing a lullaby thru the trees.'

Well. here we are again. all ready
for another story about Billy Bunny,
the little rabbit who lives in the Old
Brier Patch, Snake Fence Corner, u.
S. A.
One morning as he was polishing
the front door knob for his mother he
heard voice say, quite close to his
ear, Hello, there. little rabbit" And
when Billy Bunny looked around he
saw his friend the Jay Bird perched on
bramble branch.
Where did you come FROM" asked
the little rabbit.
In my airship." replied the little
bird. Don't you want to take a ride
with met"
VIII YOU wait till finish cleaning
the doorknob?" asked Billy Bunny and
then he set to work, and before long he
could see his face in it and the Jay
Birds too. for jolly Mr.. Happy Sun
helped make that little doorknob shine
like a ball Of fire
And after that away went the little
rabbit and the jay Bird, and pretty
soon they were flying over the Plea
SAINT Meadow. over the treetops and
over the steeples, and over the houses
and over the peoples.
Well. sir. it wasn't very long before
they were far. far away from the
Friendly Forest and then the little
rabbit said: Don't go too far Mr.. jay
Bird. for mother will worry II / don't
get home in time for supper" And just
then up came the American Eagle with
big flag in his beak and seven silver
stars on the tips of his tail feathers.
