this year would be along the same
lines as those of last year. and in all
likelihood would be held on the
steel plant lawn in Front street.

leigh h-Brookwood Coal Company, of

was asked because the claimant and
companion were caught by rush

He came to the side door to get
the man Of the houses clothes for
pressing.
"Ach, it's cold!" he began as he
came inside to wait for them, And
those poor soldiers, not enough room
for them at the fort! They must be
cold. / am sorry for them!
Then we asked him what he would
charge for pressing a froCk, and he
told his price. After q spirited de-
bate as to it's reasonableness he went
back to the war.
Il see by the papers this morning
that they are going to raise the age

thirty-seyen to fifty" he said. That
is not reasonable, no. / am a good
American citizen, but see that that
is wrong. l would not mind forty
five, but it is all wrong to take poor
old men of fifty"
We told him he had seen 1t all
wrong-that the American govern
ment hasn't anything like exhausted
its first draft yet, and wouldn't take
men of fifty anyway. He was un-
impossible to reason.
1T was In the paper" he insisted.
"They will take them to fifty. 1t is
wrong of the government"
No explanations-not even sever
ity-availed. He went off to drop
the same interesting item at the next
house, where the jewellers, may have
been easier Of belief. He had q
strong German accent.
The next visitor happened to be
the meat man-for even in these
parlous days one must have meat
once in while, and this man was
the most reasonable grocer and
Butcher in town.
He, too, stopped a moment to get
warm and wait for his money.

The war was wrong. The govern
ment could make peace If it wanted
to. And he went off to say the same
next door.
Thank heaven, the egg man is an
American, even if he does charge
what he charges. He said nothing
about the war.
But do you notice the insidiousness
Of it all? Every German born citi-
zen, apparently, considers it a sacred
duty to do what he can for Germany

daily tasks. They don't say any
thing bad enough to report. They
simply keep up their constant drop
