Representatives of the Marion school

by the measles.
This work, the yitalizing Of the

schools, has certainly been a great
success. The superintendent will be
allowed to select "a half dozen or so
schools in addition to the schools hav-
ing the work this year,-for this work
year. II there are any school pa
irons particularly interested along
this line, II might be well for them
to communicate with the superintend-
ent in this regard before the selec-

Next on the program came the sub
ject, "Our Schools; the Agency
Through Which Good Citizens Are
Made" which was to be discussed
by the heads of the different schools

EpsAu FORD AND OTHERS.

Henry Ford's son. Elsall Ford, Is
due to become as well .known as his
father. Young Ford's publicity, how
ever. is not pe note but of notoriety.
His attempts to escape from military
service thru the efforts Of attorneys,
influence and finsistent appeals to
exemption boards and even to the
president have made young Ford
marked man. At the beginning he
claimed exemption. Later his attor-
neys filed affidavits. Exemption was
denied by the exemption boards Then
appeal was made, to the president and
the case hung fire because the presi-
dent made no. decision. When the
questionaires came out Ford had ac-,
quired a baby. This put him in class
"a for his child was not dependent,
Then his lawyers asked for industrial
exemption as assistant manager" and
on the plea h.at the Ford company.
had war contracts. And so young Mr.
Ford finally :arrled his bacon home.
= No doubt the decision was techni-
cally at least within the law and I'M
der the rules. However If the rec-,
ords of the state Of Michigan We're to
be searched it would be interesting to
know how many thousands of young
men whose circumstances were SINH

that Il has become necessary to keep.
Edsall away from the smell OF vii
famous saltpcter'' other employees pro-
viously unconsidered, w.il have their
chance at industrial exemptions.
The young man who urges his
claim to industrial exemption thru at
torneys and whose firm insists on
appealing on up to the president thru
the various anenues OF exemption Is
always an ooJrct or public attention.
The suspicion is that he wants To
save his own skin by putting DIS many
other bodies as possible between 1t
and danger, and the suggestion that he
wishes to remain where he can make
money and "do weli'' while other men
hight for him ana his security will al
way be mode II is II position which
becomes unheslrlble to young men Of
spirit and courage. Perhaps Mr..
Ford can use his son TO good advant-
age in his manufacturing business But
that is true .of most of the fathers Of
Young men who have gone into the
army. No doubt Mr. and Mrs. Ford
fear the possibilities Of war. So do
other parents. Young MIR. Ford has
one advantage over some others who
are pleading for industrial exemptions
He has a baby. And SO equipped he
is entitled 20 \ great deal moro con.
sideration than the young. unmarried
men who are seeking TO avoid military
service thru the industrial exemption

employers who are thinking more "
their own needs than Of the needs Of
their country. rs

Well. the first thing I did THE morn

on the. telephone. which was the old
gentleman rabbits number, you know
and asked him II ne remembered the
dream he had the night before, and
which l promised to tell you in the
story before this in case he did.
+ But oh. dear me. I'm sorry to disap-
point you. The old gentleman rabbit
said he slept so soundly that he never
dreamed at all, except when the alarm
clock went on he thought 1t was Sum
day morning and the ohurehbells were
ringing.
That's too bad. Uncle Lucky, said
for there are lots. OF little boys and

and know they would like to hear

Claimed the old gentleman rabbit. I'll
go to the Welsh Rabbit Club tonight
and eat a lobster pie. Maybe that Will
make me dream. SO call me W. to-
morrow morning" and then he hung
up the receiver. and. that is all can
tell You Just now about dreams.
Wei, anyway. ] was Just going to
write something else when the tele-
phone rang and Mrs. Bunny said, in a
worried voice: '.Uncle Lucky, Is Billy

about that little rabbit. He knows how

nEroso.A CLEANING Up.

Congress should extend the work or
fisht rule to include men up to 50.
Perhaps II would be well enough to run
the limit UP to 50. II congress fails to
meet the situation then the legislature
OF Iowa should attend to it as one Of it's
earliest acts when il conyenes. 81
AS matters stand the police complain
of Migrants above the draft aga who
neither work nor fight, TIM horn sgamb-
lers and the like who have infested the
community for years and who are, per-
fectly able to earn an honest living
shocking the grain that business men
who work oil day go out Of evenings
to set UP for farmers who IRE unable
to induce those ioaters and tinhorns to
do days work for love or money.
Then too, theirs are those above draft
age who propose to work when the
spirit moves them or when out of to-
bacco and at no other time. The Iowa
City Republican complaining of condi-
tons in that section includes many re-
tired farmers in the loafer class and
anxiously desires rules that will send
them out TO assist and manage on the
farms. ~
However while. we are waiting Tor

there is no valid reason to be offered
why the Migrants and tho tin horns
who are Migrants under the law and,
criminals under the code--shor d not
be rounded up under the present laws
and the communities they infest be rid
Of them. That has always been easy
enough to do II those. in charge OF the
doing mean business and start cleaning
house with the intention Of finishing.
But it needs coordinate purpose on
the part Of the police powers from the
patrolman UP to the head and the
magistracy.
No able bodied man. unemployed.
should be permitted to lie around while
production needs labor and food may
be wasted in the fields. Other men are
fighting for him and his safety and his
freedom. Able-bodied idleness is a
crime.
