Why the Tears?

A large crowd of people assemb-
led at the station and cheered anil
waved hats, handkerchiefs and UNI
brellas in farwell ton the laughing,
yelling throng of young fellows on
the train. Some of the girls and
women shed few tears and there
was Suspicious moisture around
the eyes of some of the men, but it
was not grief-just little heart
ache at seeing those dear boys going
away for a little while and thrill
of pride in their enthusiasm for the
coming fray. One look at those Iowa
boys, fresh from the farm, factory,
store and bank, ought to convince
anybody that America is fighting for
the right, and will win this war even
if every German has to die at the
point of the bayonet or sword in
Europe and every German sympathi-
ger has to die at the end of a rope
in this country.-Manson Demo-

DAY JUDGMENT
IS COMING
The Day When Those Boys Under
Pershing and Sims Come
Streaming Back Home
YES, THEY ARE COMING
BACK, MOST OF THEM
And They Will Want to Know What
We Did While They We're
Away In That Foreign Land
Fighting For Us

The day when those boys under
Pershing and Sims come streaming
back home will be anxious days for
us who have not gone across to fight
Oh, yes, they're coming back, most of
them; and those who do not return
will only make things more serious
for us. For those returning ones are
going to sit in Judgment on us, and
the remembrance of those who re-
main under the sod in France and
Flanders and on the Italian plains
lis going to make them very stern
judges.
They will want. to know what we
did while they were 1000 miles
away fighting for us. Did We let
their wives and children suffer?
Did we gorge ourselves with food
and waste our money on amusements
and our time in social frivolities
while they and their allies starved
and froze as they fought? Did we
look with tolerance on the horrible
Hun while they offered themselves as
a target for his frightfullness? We
are going to be very uncomfortable
for the rest of our lives If we can
mot meet those boys and look them
in the eye when they come home.
believe the boys will be pleased
with the way their families have been
Icared for. The great American Red
Gross has undertaken to see that the
wives and children do not want, that
thair morals are safeguarded, and
that the standard of living shall not
be lowered while the fighting men are
away.
But the American people do not
vet know the first letter of the word
I.sacrifice." We eat too much, we
eat the things we should save to
send to the boys and their allies, and
we waste time and strength in play
when we ought to be working. \

Little Boy Hit BY Automobile

Yesterday afternoon about one
O'Clock Otto E. Jr. the six year old
son of Rev. and Mrs. Otto Schmidt,
was struck by an automobile on the
Winnebago street bridge. The car
was driven bye oliver Faldet, who is
employed by Warren Hoyt. The
little fellow was on his way to 'school
with his sister. The car was going
north. The boy wasn't run over, but
just knocked down. Nevertheless he
was rendered unconscious and re-
manned so until after supper last
night. He was taken to the hospital
and We understand this morning
is getting along in good shape we are
glad to state. As far as the doctors
could discover no bones were broken.
1t was feared at first the little fell
lows skull was fractured.

Out of Window Even BOe's
Restaurant

Last Sunday night the cash regis
ter at the Even Doe restaurant on
East Water street was touched for
about So in change, an amount
generally left in the till by Mr.. Boo
for change in the morning. The
police. were notified and the matter
kept quiet to see If the visitor would
return for second helping. He re-
turned alright on Monday night and
took the same amount. But early
this morning on the third visit, re-
|ception was awaiting the fellow. 1t
was case of taking the pitcher to
the well once too often. Night officer
w. r. Wheatman, who has been
taking officer Rima's place while he
is on vacation, was passing the
restaurant about five o'clock this
morning, when he heard the click OF
the cash register. He hurried to the
rear of the building and stationed
himself at a window on the west
side of the building, and just as he
got to the window he caught Harry
Hislop backing out of the window.
The officer lodged him in Jail, and he
was given a hearing this morning be-
fore Justice Barthell, who bound him
over to the grand jury, He pleaded
guilty to the crime of burglary. This
means year in jail or ten years in
the penitentiary.

20 GRoCERs CALLED UP.
Had Charged For Sugar More Than
Price Set by Committee.

Burlington, Ia, Sept. 16.-About
twenty-five Burlington grocers,
charged with violating the sugar
rules, were called before Executive
Secretary r. e. Logsdon of the
United States food administration
here today and were given the OPP
portunity of contributing various
sums. to the Des Moines County War
club.
The grocers had been charging a
price in excess of that set by the
price interpretating committee of
this county. Housewives who COM
pared the price charged them for
canning sugar with the price pub
lished by local newspapers, at the
request OF the Interpretation COM
mittee made complaints to the
county food administrator, who ask
ed the federal food administration
to act.
The grocers had taken all frac-
lions of. cent for each pound in
every transaction. Not being able
to refund these overcharges TO the
customers 1t was decided TO permit
the grpcers to turn the money over
TO the war club.

WHAT ENTHUSIASM CAN DO.
Let Us Get the Proper Spirit Into
All Our War Work. Vi

The chief problem in the business
world is meeting the great demand
for man power to keep our indus
tries going. We now expect to
place 100000 men in France by
next June. The places of these pro-
ducers have all got to be filled. We
have got to turn out great quanti-
ty of supplies and munitions to
back them up, in addition to ordinary
material for use in daily home lie.
The supplies the army consumes Will
represent far more labor and mater
ial than this number of men would
use in peace times.
All sources of supply to NIL the
labor shortage will be ransacked.
Boys, women and girls, nonressen-
tial workers, each of these sources
is a problem in itself. But there is
one great source of increased pro-
!duction. That is enthusiasm, not to
be overlooked.
People can do far more II they
feel enthusiastic. No ball game was
ever won without enthusiasm. Under
a foreman capable Of arousing the
spirit of his men, gang OF work
employees will do so per cent more.
Now let us get that spirit into all
our war work. Let us take hold Oh
la in the way we would take hold to
win a. ball game or carry an election.
Here are our boys on the verge OF
victory. 1t needs a long hard pun
70 nut them over. but we are begin
ming to see signs Of the end NO
longer can it be said that the Ger
man line is impregnable. 1t has
been broken again and again. Our
boys are just the ones who can do IL.
But everyone who is raising 1000
or making munitions or war supplies,
or producing any valuable essential
material, must put his heart into II.
If we will all jump to our tasks with
the determination to raise our IN
dustriaI efficiency to highest pitch,
the boys lover there" will take care
of the rest. Come on then with q
Hurrah!
