1t is hard luck for the loyal Ar,erL
cans who live in the Fifth Wisconsin
district but It appears that they will
be- dIsfranchised for another two years.
The reelection OF Victor Berger. con-
Hicted alien, by the majority OF the
voters of that district At an election
last week. will mean that IL will not
be represented in congress for q time
ut least. Berger. who IA under q TWEEN
~ year sentence for violation Of the
espionage law and who, since he came
10 this country from Austria Hungary,
has proven faithless to hts government
will likely not be allowed his seat in
congress. During the previous term he
was rcPudiated by the members by
vot" OF 3l1 to I.
The government should waste no
more time with Berger. Il should end
his optical aspirations by throwing him
into prison and seeing that he serves
the twenty years that are coming 10
him for his disgraceful activities when
his country was at war. Patience in
dealing with such as he has ceased to
he a virtue. The country will need no
urging TO show its contempt for the
majority Of voters in his district.-Fair-

when she passed on the street. She
was at a loss to explain this cold

and asked what the trouble was. On
her return home she called Jimmy to

"Son, die you tell anybody that your
father and I were not married?"
"Yes, ma'am," he answered. you
are not, are you?"
"Of course we are"

Soldier Beats Train.

Junction City, Kan.-Trains were
too slow for a certain Kansas soldier
who has been away from his home at
Salina for two years. When he re-
turned to Camp Funston the other day
he received a pass to spend Sunday
at Salina. Instead of waiting several
hours for the next train to his home
town, he hit the highway and was for
tunate in catching an automobile ride
to Abilene. His good luck did not
foresake him there, for he again took
to the road and another motorcar
picked him up and landed him in Sa.

Labor Department Complies Sta.

Expenditures.
FOOD and RENT COME HIGH

Washington.1The lower your salary,
the greater percentage of 1t you spend
for food and shelter, according to the
latest government cost Of living inves-
dgation.
Tables compiled by labor depart
ment experts after study of hundreds
OF family budgets show the actual cash
outlay for food and rent is greater in
families with the higher incomes, but
In the average family the expenditures
for these necessities does not increase
as fast as the income.
In Baltimore, for instance, 13 fam
HES with incomes under $500 averaged
expenditures Of $3S2.95 for food and
$12O.A for rent The average was 46.5
per cent Of the total income for food
and 14.6 for rent. The families whose
incomes were $500 or more, however,
average 1876 per cent less for food in
comparison with total income and lis
less for rent.
Showing how much more cheaply
the higher-salaried families get off in
other cities are these differences:
Pittsburgh, food Is per cent, rent rs
per cent; New York, food ST per cent,
rent II per cent; Boston, food 40
Per cent, rent 50 per cent; Syracuse,
food 4.3 per cent, rent 10 per cent !;
Scranton, food 81 per cent, rent 6.4
ger cent.
How Spending Varies.
How families of varying incomes
spend them Is indicated by tables
showing average expenditures of diff
ferent groups for Philadelphia and
Camden, N. ]. The table deals with
expenditures Of 301 families Of seven
different income groups.
Four families whose Incomes were
under 5000 a year averaged per year
for food $365.4O; clothing, $10O.87;
rent, $176.25; fuel and light, $63.O1 f;
furniture. $15.22; miscellaneous,
$100.52. The average total expendi-
ture per family was SS21.26, and the
average number of persons per family
4.3. Three families in this group re-
ported surpluses which averaged $24.33
per family, while one had a deficit of
$157. 80.
Seventy-1ve families with incomes
of $1,000, but under $1,000, reported

Yanks Salvage
Immense Booty

every gun they found, broken or In
~serviceable condition, as well as all
war material, and place the supplies
along the nearest road for collection
in army trucks. The colored fighters
received instructions that whenever
they came across an unexploded shell
they were not to touch 1t, but to put
up a little stick beside it with a note
so that the munition salvagers could
find it later.
The doughboys Don made the dis
covery that the Germans in their
flight abandoned hundreds of machine
guns and ever large pieces of artillery
which the Yankees, in their hurry to
advance, had failed to see.
Loaded In Box Cars.
One of the discoveries made by the
Americans who have completed the
task Of cleaning up the battlefield was
the unusually large number of ma
chine guns the Germans had installed
in the Argonne forest. No information
was secured as to the number the
enemy was able to save in his flight
toward the Rhine, but thousands Of
these weapons were left behind. In
one small sector Of the battlefield sew
eral hundred cars were loaded with
machine guns.
In one town located in the real of
the battlefield there is a pile Of brass
shell cases, abandoned by the Ger.
mans, that would more than fill the
hold of a large ocean freighter. II
wa estimated that nearly 100000
shell cases had been piled in that vii.
lage. These have been purchased by
the French government.
Salvage Work Expensive.
Experts with the American expedi-
tionary forces have estimated that the
Yankees had captured 200 Der cent
more war booty In the Argonne forest
than their records will show. This
was due, it Is said, to the rapidity Of
the American advance and to the
hurry of the Germans to leave their
dugouts and weapons and surrender to
their conquerors.
The work Of cleaning up the Ar
gonne battlefield, however, has been an.
expensive one, although vast quanti-
ties Of copper, brass and steel have
been salvaged. It has cost more than
100000 TO complete the task, but
the work has been a success financial
ly, as the booty is worth more than
twice that sum.

SERVICE MEN
 GAN GET FARMS FROM UNCLE SAM

Local banks and trust companies have received notices from Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane ask ing them to cooperate with the gov ernment in the plan of the Interior Department to provide work and homes for returned soldiers. sailors and marines. It is the intention of the department to make homes for these men in soldier settlements on reclaimed land.
 At the recent session of Congress legislation on this project was favora- bly, reported but owing to the conges- tion of business the bill did not come to vote. It is expected by Secretary Lane that a measure will be passed at the coming special session of Con gress, however.
 In order to ascertain for the infor- hmation of Congress the attitude of men in the service toward the plan, the Department of the Interior wishes to hear from every soldier sailor or marine in this country or overseas who is interested in the project Thousands of inquiries have already been received. Those who are inter- ested should write at once to the De partment of the Interior. Washington,
