DON'T LIMIT THE ARMY.

CECRETARY BAKER has asked congress for author
W iv TO raise an army without limit and in due time,
this request will be granted in all probability for ad-
mnistration demands OF congress often ignored
Yet is inmated that Chairman Dent of the house mill
tary affairs committee will hold out for his measure pro-
yding for four million men If he persists in such
he doubtless delay the secretarys program and
possibly hamper mobilization and training which should
proceed at top speed That is about all he do and
patriotic statue will be erected his memory reward
for such obstructive tactics 1t is true that four million
would be sufficient for this year About two million
now under arms and another two million would strain
resources for equipment and transportation. But there is
no indication that this going be the final year OF the
conflict; in all probability it will not
That being the case it is difficult to why con-
gres should hesitate authorize unlimited army Our
business add enough the strength of allies to
win this war. We will hcarten those allies il take
the step promptly and prove in legislative way that we
back the presidents declaration to force without stint
France did not limit her army to four million and has more
than that many the service today from population
less than half OF SO has Great Britain and Britain
make good the losses Of the big battles in Flanders and
picardy Those nations have gone and going the full
limit and for us who have done so little to hesitate now
to do well, would he to show ingratitude.
OF course our problem is more difficult in that are
farther from our base and it might be a physical i'm
possibility for maintain army in Europe large
France has there But is certain have the and
the money, and shipping increasing We at least
do our best which is what Secretary Baker asks and
cannot honorably do less.

What Did the Curate Cet2

A bishop Of the Church OF England
had invited the clergymen OF his see to
weekend party at the Episcopal
residence. The guest of honor was a
bishop from an adjoining diocese.
The first morning at breakfast as
the visiting bishop was about to crack
the shell OF his egg. he suddenly stop
ped, and turning around to the butler
who was standing at the back OF the
bishops chair, he said, all the while
holding his fingers tightly to his nose
"Oh my man Take this egg away
the odor OF it is atrocious. Take it
away, please; take it away"
The butler, taking the egg in his
hand and cycling it closely, said, with
great Difference
my lord, most regrettable mis-
take has been made. The stupid servant
has given your lordship curate's egg.

a model of a steamboat Napoleon looked it, shrugged
his shoulders, and it aside, saying IF it pos

Hence, Robert Fulton, broken hearted was obliged to

were willing to give him a hearing Yes it was some
time before he allowed to build his crazy steamboat

EAT LESS MEAT.

MAN should not be entirely caniyorou animal even
" though he does growl great deal The meatless
day has left for time, and many glad to see it

may be for the fighting men, and patriots will
listen when Hoover speaks Besides in the merry month
of May and from through the sury season, one
is better off for being vegetarian in his diet The
garden should be the job by this time, but if you
have nothing like that in your happy home the green
grocer has array of garden which should enable
the most fastdous to reduce the butchers bill You should
least be able TO eat meaess meal day and two

less meat and remember you getting off easy il this

There are yellow dogs of this woegged type in every

NAV hello YOU identity them Here are few OF those
helpful definitions;

abused without protest Any man who tells the govern

Tn. income tax dodger is a yellow dog the food hoarder
and waser is another Those who can buy Liberty bonds
and won't are yellow dogs Those who hint that the bonds
aren't safe investments are yellow dogs. Every calamity
howle is a yellow dog Anybody who talks peace by com
promfe anyone who ntimates the Germans can't be de
fcated is a yellow dog
There are others but that list is sufficient to identity
most Of the pack Real Americans will not fail to let
these yellow dogs know what they are Most OF them can
be cured by being shown the Of their ways That IS
