BOWSER IS ANXIOUS
FOR RETURN MATCH

Paul Bowser, the Western grappIer,
Is anxious for his return match with
Turner. the local mat artist. which
will be on tonight at the Lyceum
Theater
Last week when Joe met Bowser he
claimed he was not in the best shape
as he had just finished a hard match
with kilinios in Boston the night be-
fore and had to hustle right out Of
the Hub City in order to keep his
engagement here. The trip upset him
as he did not do himself justice
against the westerner. Bowser be-
lieves he has Turner's number and
willingly consented to a return go.

Now in the race to see who could
catch the most grasshoppers when
the prize was to be given BY Jimmy
Coon. only seven grasshoppers were
caught, all told. You remember that
those animals gave up the race for
that day. because the grasshoppers
were so unreasonable and jumped 80
high and so fast that they we're dis
gusted. Bobby Skunk gave 1t w first,
for he was quite too rat to jump up
and own after jumping grasshoppers.
even when Teddy Postum told him
that II he would keep on jumping he
would improve his figure.
But the very last thing as Bobby
Skunk was going away mad about
the Skunk Cabbage dinner given by
MIR. Bear - Jimmy Coon called out:
Don't forget the grasshopper race
ends tomorrow morning. SO you be
here, sure" In answer. Bobby Skunk
waved his paw. as he ambled of into
the woods.
You know that Jimmy Coon IL very
clever and all his family are clever.
Jimmy noticed that when the grass
was dry and the sun shining, the
grasshoppers wings were dry and they
could hop and jump twenty times as
fast as in the early morning when the
dew was on the grass and their wings
were heavy with the dewdrops
So after a nights good hunting,
Jimmy Coon only took short nap

PROVING THE PUDDING.

That the east is discovering some
thing new ami strange ::.ae- the pro-
hibitory law is made evident by the
confession and statement Of eastern
newspapers once very much opposed
to prohibitory enactments. Some OF
those journals were opposed because
of the settled conviction that 1t could
not be done. that it was unwise inter-
ference with an established rule. Some
opposed bitterly because Of business
affiliations and influences. The Phila-
delphia Public Ledger. however, has
been having an experience similar to
the. CT men and newspapers in dry
states subsequent to the dismissal OF
the traffic here and says:
The tale told by the police, by the

tile establishments give proofs sc

"pETEr BEpBuRN'S JOKE,

Years ago when river and harbor
bills cut up and handed pork around
with even more nerve and impudence
than the porkers Of these later days
dare. IT Is related by his historians
that Pete" Hepburn, OF the Iowa
eighth district was in opposition to
fragrant distribution OF public money
to assist a congressman to keep his
Job. On one occasion Hepburn, whose
district had neither river nor harbors
and shared only when federal build
ings were given out introduced bill
calling for an appropriation Of $4,000
for the removal and exclusion Of wat
er from the highways of the Eighth
congressional district of Iowa"
Which proves that the joke Of yes
terday may be the serious purpose Of
today and the sarcasm of Pete Hap
burn become the active desire Of Tow
ner. The government is spending more
money than Hepburn's sarcastic bill
carried for the very purpose that bill
offered as a joke-the removal and ex-
clusion Of water from the highways Of
the Eighth district Of Iowa. At least
it offers the Eighth with other districts
opportunity to remove and exclude the
mixture of water and Iowa soil which
we call mud and make and maintain
passable highways.
If Pete" Hepburn were alive and
among US today he would be surprised
to find his joke transformed into a
concrete Tor brickj purpose. Mr.. Hap
burn held the then common idea, that
Iowa couldn't get out of the mud. 1t
was a resigned attitude such as elder
w men hold toward death as some
thing that can't be avoided and must
be endured. But joke or no joke Pete"
had the scientific and sensible thing in
mind-the removal and exclusion Of
water from the highway.
While we are waiting for the all the
year round road that Is peering above
the horizon of the progressive counties
of the state the road drag and the
scraper are the best bet to keep the
water off the road and when the water
ia removed and excluded" by filling
ruts and offering water a chance to
find It's level we can have good roads
when it dosen't rain and reasonably
soon after a rain. Why don't we do It?
And where are those road patrols?

bItrary means. Banks and business
are getting the money that once Went
for booze. Prohibition has cut down
the number OF arrests enormously. The
number OF "passional" crimes Is great
ly decreased by the removal Of the
provocation liquor supplies. Charita-
able agencies report that the number
OF those compelled to apply TO them
for aid is lessening. The moving-pic-
ture business reports an influx OF pat
ronage because men who once spent
their evenings with the boys now take
the family 10 the silent drama. The
impossible has occurred the populace
has almost taeitly accepted a change
which-it was predicted-would preci-
pitate "heady resentment bloody anar-
ohy."
BY it's fruits the success OF the huge
experiment is appraised, The public
has taken the new order with good
grace, and individuals have med sur
prising discoveries about themselves
Lots of people who thought their tod
dy vital and organic have found that 1t
was only a vermiform appendix after
ALL something that could be Topped
away without real loss. The prohibit
ton edict is enforcible because this is
a country whose people heartily be-
ueve in law and order. The sporadic
iawlessness OF race riots like those that
now afflict certain communities Is but
the exception that proves the rule.
Prohibition, on trial, is making out an
excellent case for itself and winning
for itself with the passing of the days
a surer and more solid endorsement Of
public opinion.

downstream We sent the horse back
overland from the village and walked
to the river only to find that eight OF
ten dams had been built for the fish
ing and none of the small boats would
be running for three days. SO 1t was
up to us to walk TO Tun-fou. where the
larger boats come. We walked about
nine miles more that evening and spent
the night in Hainanese village where
the people were freddy after the first

later that this village 10 q repository

The Victorious Dead.


Peace? 1 recall an acre OF the dead
Marked with tho only sign on earth
that saves,
The wings of death were hurrying
overhead,
The loose earth shook on those I'M
quiet graves.
For the deep gunpits, with quick stabs
of flame,
Made their own thunders of the sun
lit air:
Yet-as | read the crosses, name by
name,
Rank after rank, it seemed that peace
was there.
Sunlight and peace-a peace too deep
for thought,
The peace of tides that underlie our
strife,
The peace with which the moving
heavens are fraught,
The peace that is our everlasting life.
The loose earth shook. The very hills
were stirred,
The silence of the dead was all heard.
A little while we may not see their
eyes,
Or touch their hands, for they are dar
too near.
But, soul to soul the life that never
lies
Speaks to the life that waits its free
dom here.
They have made their land one living
shrine. Their words
Are breathed in dew and whiteness
from the bough;
And, where the May tree shakes with
song of birds,
Their young unwhispered joys are
singing now.
BY meadow and mountain, river and
hawthorn brake,
In sacramento peace from sea to
sea,
The land they loved grows lovelier for
their sake,
Shines with their hope, enshrines
their memory.
Communes with heaven again, and
makes us whole,
Thru mans new faith in mans immor-
tai soul

ONE THING OR THE OTHER

Iralnmen are demanding from Hines

assert that the -profteers have taken
every wage increase in increased
profits as soon as it was made. Lee
threatens congress with revolution I'M
less the high cost of living comes
down. Shopmen are striking for more.
street car men striking for increases.
Railroads under alleged government
management are increasing rates.
Street car companies are asking higher
fares, landlords are raising rents,
claiming higher cost Of upkeep, the
cotton board thru its representatives
is assuring congress that the retail
ers are making more profit on meats
transportation and all costs up to the
retailer. the retailer is showing that
his wholesale prices remain fixed de-
spite the fuCtuation of stockyards
prices. and his expenses are rising, the
packers are charged with shameful
profiteering and price fixing and in
reply assert that they make two cents
or less on a dollars worth of business,
while the cotton market board is as
sailing the meat retailer it is seeking
higher prices for cotton, and so on
thru and among all interests every
body seems to be seeking to get his
while the getting lasts.
Yet everybody is buying literally
and many recklessly. 1t is not neces-
sary to go to the auto statesmen for
confirmation. An incident illustrates:
The other day an observer on his
way home in an automobile that he
can not afford, came upon a large
group of automobiles, not trucks or
commercial cars but passenger cars
and jumped to the conclusion that a
funeral was in progress. 1t was not
a funeral however 1t was a house
moved in on a lot and under repairs
and the parked cars which had sug
gested funeral were merely the pri-
vate automobiles that the trade work
ers had come to their work in. Per-
haps we are all starving to death but
the visible signs Of prosperity or per-
haps better said. purchasing power,
do not indicate famine.
However, it is time to call a halt,
to put on the brakes and cut down the
gas lest a worse thing be brought
about. We may liken the present de-
bacle of getting and spending to a
road crowded with racing automobiles
speeding thru the dust each with the
one idea to distance the others. We
all know what happens. Threatening
soyiets and threading congress will not
help much while we refuse to help
ourselves. We may be able to soak
few profiteers-let US hope so-and
let US also hope that we will not be
among those soaked. II the movement
against profiteering in congress and
| legislatures, by the president and the
governors Of states shall bring the
| cial and individual sanity the thing
| will settle itself. II not we are due
for bump, big hard bump-and we
shall deserve our bruises.
