THE DAY OF RETRiBUTIoN

Sioux City Journal: Amid the crash
Of falling powers and tumbling ambi-
tons Germany. even with her big
otry and egotism, must realize that
the day of retribution has come.
There is nothing more admirable than
the defeated foe who has fought hon
orably and who accepts his fate in
the spirit with which he fought.
There is nothing more despicable and
loathsome than the defeated tyrant
who cringes in fear that the punish
ment he has inflicted upon others will
in turn be inflicted upon him. That
is the condition of the military powers
of Germany at this time. The rest Of
the world and possibly a part of the
people of his own country would re-
joice in the death of the emperor, and
the more terrible that death, the great
er would be the rejoicing. The senti-
ment is not founded On savagery.
Rather it is the concept of retribu-
tive justice for the monster of the
age, who is the equal of the monster
Of any other age.
The world demands reprisals. 1t
demands the destruction of German
cities by the armies of the allies. 1t
Is not a barbarious and wanton am
bition to destroy. but a conscientious
demand that Germany shall expert
ence in equal degree the ~barbarities
of war as she has practiced them.
Civilization does not want to inhict
upon the civilian German people the
atrocities which the Germans have in
fiicted upon the people of the coun-
tries they has subjugated. Civiliza-
ton refuses to take r~etribution in
kind for manned and mutilated chill
dren, for outraged women. for merci-
less executions of civilians who fall
into the military power. 1t balks at
these things. 1t refuses to follow the
barbarians to such depths even in
thought. In this element Germany is
safe from the r%etributive vengeance
of her foes.
The world, however, does not hest.
tate to demand that those who have
been responsible for the commission
of such outrages shall be punished
The commanders Of the German
armies, from Hindenburg to the low
est rank. who have originated or car
ried out The policies of outrage and
murder and debauchery by their
armies, should be dealt with as they
have dealt with their victims. They
probably understand that the senti
ment of the world, the sentiment OF
the hearthsides Of the allied countries
demand this penalty. No doubt that
Ia why the German military autoc
racy, working through its diplomatic
mouthpiece, is so DESTROYS of secur
ing an agreement that will save their
cowardly necks from the rope. 1t Is
this craven cowardice which excites
loathing In the souls Of those who
know the depravity of the cravens
: They do not hesitate to demand that
; Germany return the tribute laid upon
cities which had done@no wrong other
than falling into the military power Of
the ~barbarians. They do not hesitate
TO demand retribution for the burning

THE CLOTHING SCARCITY.
Will Take an Enormous Amount
Clothing to Provide Everything
for Our Soldiers.

1t was reported a few days ago
that the British mills are to manu-
facture an order of clothing for o.
100000 American soldiers. This
would seem to indicate that our
clothing mills are not able to carry
on the regular work of production
for the civilian population and supply
the soldiers at the same time.
In England they have got to the
point where no clothing is hence
forth to be made for civilian use ex-
cept under permit. Shall We coma
to the same drastic regulation?
Items like these raise the question
whether clothing is to be as short
with us as food has been. We have
to considerable extent met the food
scarcity by the effort to increase crop
acreage and enlist boy and other
labor. But the raw materials of
clothing can not so easily be pro-
duced in large abundance. 1t takes
time to grow wool from sheep, and
our focks are depleted If we att
tempt to raise more cotton, we cut

down the acreage of food stuffs.
1t will take an enormous amount
of clothing to provide everything
needed for our great army of fighters.
Their various uniforms will wear out
quickly under the conditions Of
trench fighting. A great many mills
now making civilian clothes will
have to handle war work.
Facts like these suggest that we
are approaching a period of short
age in clothing fabrics such as the
world has never seen before. People
will be less ashamed of wearing old
clothes, for the prices for new may
reach prohibitive points.
1t looks like good policy to stock
up with what we need in the cloth
ing line, as we don't just know what
is coming. The advertisements of
clothing bargains in the Public
Opinion represent chances that will
probably not recur again while the
war lasts. 1t will be we'll for us all
to get ready for the period OF short
age and high prices that seems in
evitable.

FARMERS AT START OF
TWO VITAL CAMPAIGNS
TiIIers of the Soil Must Prepare for
Next Years Harvest and New
Fighting Loan"

Farmers of the United States, whose
work the last twelve months in for
flying the food lines of the allies has
been of such supreme importance, are
now at the start of two vital cam.
paigns-preparing for the 1919 wheat
harvest and for the Fighting Loan"
The wheat harvest of 1919 will be the
Liberty Wheat Harvest and the gov
eminent has asked again for the CO.
operation and support Of the wheat
producers to sow 47,500,0OO or more
acres Of winter wheat this fall to
guarantee against possible partial crop
failure next year. Uncle Sam knows
from past performance that the Amer
lean farmer again will 'come across"
mt the call. The United States grain
grower now realizes fully that he is
the main line of defense in the allied
food army, and he is proud of his po-
sition and of his achievements. With
out the essential food reserves there
will never be grand smash that will
overwhelm the destroyers Of the
worlds peace, but with the American
farmer holding the line, the food re-
serves will be on call, and the grand
smash will come as surely as the
American nation is In the war.
Coincident with the beginning of the
campaign for the Liberty Wheat Har-
vest will be the Inauguration Of the
campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan
the Fighting Loan" Both of these
campaigns are vitality important. Both
will be backed to the limit by the
farmer. Both will bear positive witness
70 the enemy of the solidarity and sim
gleness of purpose of this country
both will heighten the morale of the
allied peoples and give a conquering
spirit Of confidence to the allied
armies; and both will enable Uncle
Sam to throw the whole weight OF his
mighty resources against the cracking
German line, so that the harvesting OF
the Liberty Wheat Crop may indeed
be harvest Of freedom, the Hun
overthrow, justice and right triumph
ant, and the world at peace.

THE "TEA PARTY"
AND THE KAISER
BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.

Z BY LOUIS ALBERT LAMB.
Ny grandsire painted red his hide
In ancient Mohawk style,
And crcpt down to the Mystic side
!. To wait little while.
Then other Yanks in redskin guise
Collected at the bay
And took the tea ship by surprise
And threw the tea away.
Old George the Third was much
averse
To freedom for the Yanks;
His taxes were a deadly curse
He taxed and gave no thanks.
But when the Mohawk Boston men
Dumped all the tea to port
King George began to think again
And arm for warlike sport"
He sent his Hessians over here
To kill Cap. Barkers boys.
To burn the school and meeting house
And other such annoys;
But when they came to Bunker Hill
That jolly day in June
And Warren met 'em with will
They piped another tune.
The Yanks have got job today
That's worthy of the race;
The kaiser treads rocky way
And spars to save his face.
But all the Yanks have gone to France
En- route for old Berlin:
II we buy Bonds at every chance
You bet the Yanks will winl
Our grandsires dished King Georges
II will
ID And sailed all his tea.
Our boys will do the same for Bill,
Kaiser of Germany!
The only way to push the work
And make Berlin our own,
Is this: Get busy, do not shirk
But BUY THE FIGHTING LOAN"

RED CROSS PIGS
IN DECEMBER
People Who Have Donated Pigs to
Winneshiek County Pig Club
Will Deliver Them Between
Christmas and New
Years
NOT TOO LATE
TO JOIN CLUB
When the Shipment is Made Winnie
shiek Will Have Reason to Feel
Proud of Its Work.

Many Of the members of the club
who are much interested in the Win
neshiek County Pig Club have asked
me when these pigs donated to the
Chapter will have to be delivered
Answering this question, beg to
say that when the club was started
IN June, the solicitors as we'll as my
self made the statement that the
pigs subscribed were to be a Christ
mas present for Winneshiek Chapter,
American Red Cross, and living up
to this agreement, / want to say
that if weather conditions permit
and the market for hogs is good and
strong about that time, it is the
committees intention to call for
these pigs between Christmas and
New Years.
A meeting will be called sometime
towards the end of November, at
which it is hoped representative
of each township will be present,
and the matter will then be talked
over, and fully decided when ship
ment shall be made. Full informa-
ton will be given in all the county
papers so that those who have been
generous enough to give pig
will know exactly what must be
done.
In connection with our Pig Club,
want to say that there is hardly a
week but what l get some letter
from somewhere about it, as many
! counties, not only in the state of
Iowa but all over the county, want
to follow our splendid example.
/ feel that when this shipment is
made that Winneshiek county will
have reason to be proud If its most
splendid achievement, and ! firmly
believe that every state in the Union
will know how generous and loyal
the people of Winneshiek county
have been, not only in connection
with the Pig Club, but with every
thing else that has been asked Of
them by the government.
While hundreds of our good peo-
pie have given pig, and have shown
splendid loyll spirit, still there
are other good people left in our
county who have not given pig, and
are amply able to do so, and / am
going to ask them to subscribe so
their name may also appear on the
i HONOR ROLL in Winneshiek' S
souvenir booklet which is to be
printed very soon.
We want this to be 1907 club,
just as all the other undertakings
in connection with the war have been
in Winneshiek county, and We can
not urge too strongly the desirability
of becoming a member.
The money will be used exclusively
for Red Gross activities. What bet
ter purpose could it be put to?
| Send me postal card saying you
will give pig. Thank you.

Careful Washing Saves Clothing.

Shortage of cotton for wearing ma
terial with its consequent high price
has made the housewife take an un-
usual interest in the conservation OF
garments.
Conservation in cotton cloth means
saving a war material as well as the
money and labor necessary to replace
the garm6At. The original appearance
of an article made Of colored material
may be kept If due precautions are
observed.
Buy cloth which has the color dyed
In the piece or dyed before weaving
rather than a printed pattern.
Set the color by soaking for at least
M hour in salt water made in the pro-
portion Of two ~tablespoonfuls of salt
TO a quart of watel.
Avoid high temperatures. because
they make coIored goods streaked.
Boiling, or ironing with too hot an
iron is a cause of fading and streak
ing.
Do not use strong soaps. as theg
dull the color and often the alkali in
them causes the color to run.
Wash each garment separately and
thus avoid any possibilities of dullIng
or changing shade by mixing colors.
Dry In the shade to avoid fading
action Of direct sunlight.

Washington Was Wise

There is something of poetic justice in the fact
that one of the first of the old sluices to be re-
habilitated was the Chesapeake and Ohio, the
building of which was pushed by General George
Washington, who was the first president of the
construction company which called 1t into being.
The Father of His Country was so convinced that
the future prosperity of the nation had much to
do with water transportation by canal that he
obtained a leave of absence while he was still
commander of the Revolutionary army that he
might start the survey for the waterway with
which he hoped to connect the waters of the
Chesapeake bay with the unsalted OHIO, The
project was never realized, even in part, until
long after his death, but to this day the canal is
n carrier of trade between Cumberland, Nd, and
Georgetown, in the District of Columbia. 1t de-
rives its water partly from the Potomac. and If
~deepened would be of much Importance to the
national capital. 1t has for years been under
railroad control. The government has now placed
additional boats upon it and the lock crews are
working night and day. The channel is becom-
ing as busy as 1t was In Civil war DAYS, when
500 boats, ten times the number which 1t had
when the federal authorities took charge, were
in constant operation.-Walter Harrington in the
American Review of Reviews.

An able seaman today gets SIS a month and his
board. During wartime he receives a bonus of 80
per cent on his wages on voyages into the war-zone
waters of Europe. His life is insured without
cost to him, to the extent of twice his yearly earn
ings.
His future is assured II he sticks-and the ship
ping board believes he will stick. 1t is estimated
that not less than 100000 officers and men will be
wanted to man the merchant marine after the war,
and 1t is expected that every man accepted will be
an American citizen.
The shipping board is training officers rs well as
crews for the new merchant marine. 1t has 80
technical schools, in navigation and engineering,
where experienced men receive free Instruction
fitting them for officers licenses.
From June, 1917, when these schools were start
ed, to September, 1918, more than 10000 students
were admitted to them. Every student was an
American citizen, fitted to enter by, two years at
sea, or, in the case of engineers, equivalent tech
meal experience.
Graduates of these schools are on the bridges of
American merchant ships today in all Of the seven
seas, and the present classes of the school contain
more than 1000 students.
