of The Chieftain, who recently re
turned home from overseas where
he had been engaged in Y. M. G. A.

Saturday on his way to Valley Cen

where he had been visiting sister.
Mr.. WoOdhOuse came to look after
business matters, and put in q
busy day, not SO much in looking
after business as in greeting his old
friends. They all wanted to know
of his experience in Europe. Mr..
WoOdhOuse is q keen observer and

During his pleasant call at the
office he left the editor one of the
now famous or infamous German
iron cross suvenirs. AS a souvenir
it is a-pretty little thing, but its
memory is most unsavOry to the
world. Mr.. WoOdhOuse also left
The Chieftain number of inter-

did collection he gathered while
abroad.

work and was asked to name his
own salary. He stated briefly that
the job did not appeal to him.

In view of inadequate housing

feelings along this line are express

unwilling to admit defeat and
openly expressing her intention to

if they are to be enforced 1t will re-
quire the united and cO-ordinated
efforts of the allies to do it, parti-

DOGS Is DOGS"
City Marshal Jim Fuller Goes Out
Cunning for Canine.

There are several more good dogs
in Holly than a week or two ago
they are dead ones, however.
City Marshal Jim Fuller has been
vieing with the real estate men the
past ten days in establishing vol
ume of business.
Pay your dog tax or--dead dog.
These are the only alternatives
with Jim, and he says all dogs look
alike to him. He says dogs is
dogs" but they must be properly
tagged and thus show their right
to circulate about town.
Marshal Fuller has made good
start but the canine population is
still excessive and the decapita-
tion or deportation of some so to
100 more would entitle the author
of such destiny for these pesky
CANNES to citation and medal.

the new plane is at the field north

Pilot Puflea has since made u
number of short flights mornings
and evenings to keep the machine
in perfect running eorder. He and
Ed. Leonard drove down to Syra-
cuse yesterday to get line on an
aviator who was filling an engage
ment at the Syracuse soldiers re-
union.
This aviator came up to Holly
Tuesday forenoon and flew over
the town at an elevation of not
more than 100 feet. He was first
thought to be Pilot Puflea and
when Mr.. Puflea was later seen
and being joshed about getting
down where he could pick peoples
pockets as he flew he stated that
he was not the aviator and that
such flights were menac to pub

THERE is PLENTY OF WORK

a ) WAS STATED in these columns some davs
a ago, the science OF craftsmanship, broadly
speaking, IS the science OF tood-distributon.
Bound up with fooddistrbution is the distribution OF
the units OF labor to the points of employment
But to write like that is to initiate the stve OF the
dryasdus political economists and nobody wants to
read an Adam Smith editorial. The point at which
we aim here is that there is plenty of work to 90
around and to keep everybody in useful and profit
able employment but the problem is to pass the work
around so that nobody will be missed. In other
words, get the man and the job together. This is one
OF the most important problems of the present and it
calls for constructive craftsmanship

much public improvement work in process of do

These ideals were expressed during

cause they were not publicly turned
down by the American people or
by their representatives in congress 5
the president considers thar the
American people are pledged to
their fulfillment.
The American people never un-
derstood the meaning or conse.
quence of the ideals and policies OF
President Wilson. They were given
out at a time when as commander
in chief it was held universally to
be an objectionable sin TO criticise
the president. The wonderful catch
words and phrases OF the president
caught the ear OF the people, but
did not catch the understanding.
That the American people are
bound by any OF these statements
OF ideal or policy is to me inconceiv-
able. They certainly never were
bound by the vastly different dec
larations OF the president during the
weary months before We Went into
the war.
