Heigh no. how the winds blow
This cool September day,
And the leaves are turning yellow and

And the clouds are scurrying overhead.

Well. as soon as the Scafecrow was
seated in the Luckymobile, as ] men

honked the horn and away they went
down To the Three in zone cent store To
buy a toothbrush, for the Scarecrow' :

they started housekeeping in the little
log hut in the middle of the corniield.

Birdville. a pretty little town not very
far away. Well by and by, after mile
and a laugh and smile. they came to
the Tailor Birds shop on the corner of
Twitter avenue and Chirp street. And
there sat the Tailor Bird on little
bench in front of his store for IL was a
very warm day. altho il was the first
of October.
Now as soon as this in dus -tri- ous

the old gentleman rabbit. And you can

To Billy Bunny. So they said good-by
TO the Tailor Bird and drove off TO the
armory in Rabbitville. where they got
out and put on their uniforms, and
Billy Bunny strapped on his drum, and
then they went down TO Cotton Tail
Square TO make n speech, for the old
gentleman rabbit was selling liberty
bonds. every day,
Wei. when they reached Cotton Tail
Square, a big crowd gathered around
them. and Uncle Lucky stood up on the
front seat and told everybody how he
had promised Uncle Sam and Aunt
Columbia that he would take two car
loads Of liberty bonds this time for
his little hank in Rabbitville. And then
he explained TO them that II they didn't
help him his money would be all tied up
and he wouldn't be able Ia cash any of
their checks or pay the lady teller

such straddins manner 10 a vital
issue Endorsed by the president Of the
United States as a war measure Is un-
fortunate on the part OF the New York
Times II only AS calling attention back
to the straddling of that great news
paper on the Austrian request Tor
conference that should talk peace terms
without responsibility. The Times has
been very busy attempting 10 apologize
and shift ground on that particular at
tack of nerves. Perhaps IL Will have
occasion to explain why a vital and
essential war measure should he dis
missed in such cavalier fashion.
pvovements on church property
That defensive .camouflage which at
tcmpts to put the war between in
terests like those opposed to woman
suffrage and liquor restriction by cry
ing interference with the war will
scarcely cover or deceive longer. In
this case when the president is de-
mandlng suffrage as "A war essential II
will deceive few thoughtful and sin
cere persons.
The solid south, the politically dem
ocrat south. is bitterly opposed TO
woman suffrage. The interests which
thrive against the idea! of decent
womanhood are invariably and newt
ably hostile TO it. Morally the issue
is plain. 1t is not less plain from a
partisan standpoint. Out of a repuh-
lican votes, 81 supported the president.
The sentiment Of this country. II
it could be polled. is that women have
done their part nobly in the war and
that women are ready and willing to
endure greater sacrifices and strange
and strenuous labor in support Of the
country and the principles their sons
and husbands are lighting for. II will
not be to the political advantage Of
senator of any northern state uncon-
trolied by Visions interests that he vot-
ed against woman suffrage. Nor will
the issue be laid aside. II is a living
issue. vital and essential" the presi-
dent Classics it. Why should it be

ARE CHEAPER.


Carload lots of potatoes have begun
arriving on the local market the past
week and they are selling as low as
$l.i5 a bushei for choice varieties Of
winter potatoes. This is quite a re-
lief from the price of 65 cents a peck
that has prevailed before the big ship
ments began to arrive. With pota-
toes that high and butter away above
60 cents. bacon at the same price and
other eatables showed up firmly along
side OF .them in price, the outlook for
just common grub this winter has as
sumed serious aspect. The fellow
with the big appetite will have to have
a fat purse for the next few months
If he gets many square meals.
DRAFTING HOUSES.
Cedar Rapids Gazette.l
We are getting so accustomed to all
sorts OF war drafts that 1T excites but
TO momentary comment when we hear
of the governments draft Of houses in
Washington. It so happened that some
rich folk had winter houses in the ma
tional capital and summer homes
nearby. Usually they lived In New
York for Newport. spending but few
days in their Washington mansions.
Those houses were needed for gov
eminent clerks and officers detained in
Washington They were Communicated.
The Glover house, the Stilson Hutchins
residence. and those Of the Keans
Beales McMilfans and the Robert r.
Lincolns, all were taken by the gov
eminent and turned into dormitories
for war workers in town where
real estate hogs are holding up gov
eminent employees for abnormally high
rentals. About 5000 war workers have
been provided for. Every house, not
occupied. is TO be comma n deered.
Already some owners are closing up
their New Yprk and Newport resi-
dences and hurrying back to Washing
ton to hye in their homes. Others are
periodically sending the front door
keys to the government and telling 1t
do go az far as it likes in using the
houses.
Those who close their New York and
Newport homes rather than permit the
war workers 70 live in their Washing
ton homes remind US of that dog in
the Manager.

An ounce of prevention is worth

Then what are we going 10 do about
