TO THE AMERICAN IRISH.

LACK Dalton in Manson Democrat
The Irish can make no progress to-
ward home rule by fighting conscrip-
ton now. The thing to do is to for
get Irelands troubles and demands for
freedom until Germany, the curse of the
world. is crushed and conquered. The
Irish people can show their love for
democracy by fighting for it now.
After the war is won by the allies.
Ireland. as well as all other perse-
cuted nations, will be granted her
freedom and guaranteed the protection
of the stronger nations of the world
to preserve her independence. That
much is certain, as that much has long
ago been agreed on by the allied ma
tons fighting Germany. II the Irish
battle among themselves and see Eng
land lose the war without raising a
hand to help her. they will be worse
off under Germany's accursed rule
than they ever were under England's
domination-which has always been
bad enough. Whip Germany first-then
home rule. should be the slogan Of the
Irish people.

SPECTACULAR SCENES IN
THIS REMARKABLE PIC
TURE CAUSE MANY
THRILLS.

The audience that witnessed the
showing Of THE Whip yesterday
afternoon, was one OF the largest at
the Palace Theatre in some time.
The great spectacular train wreck
which was staged az cost OF SIS
GOO, brought forth rounds of ap-
plause, This scene alone Is worth
the admission price.
The fox hunt is another big scene,
and the manner in which the horses
take the fences and streams, the way
in which the dogs dash after their
quarry, and the beauty of the hunt
ing costumes worn by the hunters,
add much to the intense interest OF
the picture.
But OF course, the biggest feature
OF all the, tremendous scenes and
events in this gigantic production,
is the horse race. The scenes for this
splendid event were taken at Sara
toga, where the biggest racing*yents
of the world are pulled off, and the
scene reproduces the tensity, the eX-

MUSIC FOR THE WAR TANK
Graphaphone Records Are Gift Of
Woman; French Officer Requests
Bowling Equipment for His Men.

For the amusement Of soldiers prob
ably no more unique donation has been
made than that of $50 from a woman
for graphaphOne records to equip
tank. There is something grotesqque
about music emanating from this weird
iron caterpillar, states a trench CORE
spOndent.
. Other donations have not lacked an
element of the picturesque, as, for in
stance, the supplying of a hospital in
Paris which was filled with African
troopers, with 700 fans. They were so
appreciated during the summer that
the hospital appealed for more. An
accordion was sent to fill a specific
demand.
One French officer requested games
for his men. What sort? In one regi-
ment in which most of the soldiers
were fathers of families the prefer
ence, for some reason or other, was
for bowling. The trench, it must seem,
does not make a bad alley if a few
balls and pins will liven a dull period.

many sales are taking place when the
farmer never had such prosperity of
the last year. In nine cases out of
ten the question is answered ty the
shortage of farm labor. The farmer
with two or three sonsCf they are not
within the draft age) is fixed but
where a farmer has to depend on the
uncertain and indispensable labor that
hire out by the day or month, he finds
himself almost driven to distraction
in getting his crops saved. The re.
suit is that those having sales are
either moving to a smaller place where
they can till it themselves or giving
up all together. The farmer it will
be seen does not have everything his
way even if he does receive high
prices for his produce.

PATRIOTISM OF THE STOMACH
Neither Fried Chicken Nor Biscuits
Found by Hungry Hunters on
Farmers Table.

There are all kinds and varieties of
patriOtiSIn-almOSt as many as there
are pickles of certain variety. There
is the patriotism of speech, the patri-
Otism of arms, or money of service
and so on. But of them all the hard
est for the average individual is the
patriotism of the stomach. So thought
a bunch of Indianapolis men who in
vaded Brown county for a day of hunt
ing, says the Indianapolis News.
After a day of hiking and tramping
over the hills, in which a nice string
Of rabbits was the prize, these ''tired
business men" adjourned to the farm
er's house where they had planned on
a big feed" You can imagine their
surprise and disgruntled feelings when
on seating themselves at the table they
found neither meat nor bread. The
expected fried chicken and hot biscuits
were missing. OF course, no one said
anything, but a good many thoughts
made the air quiet.
That evening as they were leaving
for the train the old farmer friend
pointed to a small placard in the win
dow, and said: "Well, boys, the next
time you come down Wen have that
fried chicken and biscuits. Mary said
we was a member of the United States
food administration now, and what
was the use Of havin' a pledge card
If you didn't keep the pledge"
They had chosen the wrong day. Be

of the party it served to call their at

home down there, no matter how hum

Kitchen Soldiers.

Kitchen soldiers are the latest eX-
pertinent in practical patriotism. Good
Housekeeping, in cooperation with the
United States food administration, is
conducting the enlistment. In the
magazine appears this pledge, which
women are urged to sign:
81, the member of the household in
trusted with the handling of food, do
hereby enlist as kitchen soldier for
home service and pledge myself to
waste no food and to use wisely all
food purchased for this household,
knowing that by so doing 1 can help
conserve the foods that must be
shipped to our soldiers and our al
Hes"
This is a movement for the woman
who is actually dealing in the food of
American homes. Employers and en-
plOyees are urged to join the forces.
A soldier may be one who fights just
with her brain or one who fights by
doing with her hands the work of
women in this crisis. She may be
one whose ancestors have lived here
for generations or she may be one
whose parents have seen wars hOr.
rOrs pass their very door abroad,
whose brothers bear the arms of Eng
land. or France, or Italy, or Russia, or
any other allied country. Once you
have enlisted as a kitchen soldier, your
kitchen Is your battlefield.

Overcoming CamoufIaue.

An American physicist believes that
the advantages Of camOuflage-Or at
least certain kinds of camOufiage-can
be overcome by an opposing army by
providing cOlOred glasses or screens
of contrasting cOlOrs to use with field
glasses. When the cOlOrs of these
screens are properly selected, uniforms
and other objects may be made to ap-
pear in contrast, instead of in har-
mony with their surroundings, he
claims. CamOuflage as practiced in
many cases is accomplished largely
by the use of paint, objects being
given shades that blend with the land
scape. In spite of certain difficulties
that would arise, it is believed that
such efforts at concealment could be
rendered quite Intellectual by the
means stated.
