VrYHEN rattleSnake bed is
| w found every wise man recos-
nizes the necessity of imme-
diately killing the reptiles in order
that they may not continue to breed
an increasing supply of these deadly
enemies to mankind.
The rattlesnake as its worst, how
ever, is harmless as compared with
the alien Bolshevists who are seek
ing to strike at the very life of this
Government. The rattlesnake gives
warning and then strikes at the in
dividual man. The Bolshevist strikes
at the life of a nation of 10, 100000
people; and the Bolshevist, per-
mitted to breed malice and with his
Internal activity keep on breeding
it, is ever putting forth a new brood
of poisoners of the Nations life.
Why should America permit the
rattlesnake Bolshevists to remain in
this country, ever breeding more
Bolshevist rattleSnakes, whose fangs
are sinking deep into the life of the
country? Pity or sympathy for
such people would be akin to pity
for Satan himself. They no more
deserve the sympathy of men than
does Satan. And yet we permit them
to roam our country unmolesI ed, to
pour their poison into the foun-
tains of national life and to strike
wherever it is possible; and that,
too, without the warning of the rat
tlesnake. and with a venom sur
passing that of the deadly rattler.
And the Nation goes on it's way ap-
, parently ignoring the fact that ev-
cry rattlesnake Bolshevist menaces
the life of our Government, and in
menacing our Government menaces
all human liberty.
These Bolshevists should be sent
back to the country from which
they came or be imprisoned for life.
Never again should they be permit
ted to put their foot on American
soil. This country is not a home for
anarchists and Bolshevists, and all
of that accursed breed. This is a
land dedicated to human freedom,

When You MentiOn-"Cdr"

You cannot live in peace, for your
troubles will increase,
If an auto salesman hears you
mention-"car."
He will haunt you like a hound, and
he's sure to run you down
If he has the least idea where you
are.
In day or two more, salesmen
haunt you by the score,
For they come from near and
many from afar.
They bring cars, with one accord,
you don't want or can't afford
If they hear that you have merely
mentioned-"car."
When you rise in early morn and
have tasks you must per-
form,
Down the road there comes a guy
behind the wheel.
To interest you he'll try for he's
heard you wish to buy"
And you hesitate to say the things
you feel.
When you've plainly told him, NO."
he still hesitates to go.
And he'll hand you out nice big
fat cigar.
He persuades you to get in and he
takes you for spin
Cause he's heard you've got the
money for a car.
He shows you how it works, how it
pulls and never jerks,
How for using Juice" it certainly
is a star.
He explains to you the gears shows
how easily ''she steers"
And tells you why a gallon goes so
far.
FIo pushes in the clutch. shows you
just what things to touch,
And explains just why she starts
without jar.
Then he takes you down grade,
shows you how the brakes
are made
For he's sure he's going to sell to
you car.
He takes you through the sand at a
rate to beat the band,
And soon from home you find
you're very far.
Then he turns the auto round and
you're glad you're homeward
bound
For you're thinking OF, your work
and not the car.
Now you're spinning through the
breeze, but the auto has to
sneeze
And begins to act as though 1t had
catarrh.
1t is plainly to be seen, that she's
out of gasoline
And you're going to stay awhile
just where you are.
After purchasing some gas, and
leading foolish horses past,
| Once again upon the homeward
stretch you are;
Now he shows a little speed, for it's
almost time to feed"
And anyway he's sure you'll buy
the car.
When home at last you reach, he
exclaims, Isn't she a peach?
And just see she made the trip
without a mar;
Now what say you to a deal? Yol
will never have cause 70
squeal,
And b'lieve me! among machines
this is THE car"
When he's driven off at last. and you
scarcely have passed
To your work which you've
neglected all day long;
Then you cuss because you've got to;
down the road there comes
| an auto,
And another salesman comes to
sing his song.

Song

You are my sky; beneath your CIR
cling kindness
My meadows all take in the light
and grow,
Laugh with the joy you've given,
The joy you've given
And open in thousand buds, and
blow.
But when you are somber. sad,
avePse. forgetful,
Heavily yelled in clouds that brood
with rain.
Dumbly I lie all shadowcd,
lie all shadowed,
And dumbly wait for you to shine
again.

THAT SIX-HOUR DAY

THE Telegraph is in receipt of q
woman, who signs herself
"Machinist's Wife" which contains
so much of good humor and witty
observation on a vital topic that we
shall overlook the usual rule of re-
quiring the real name of the writer
to quote a paragraph or two. She
writes, concerning the proposed six
hour day:
I'm glad my husband does not
have TO work twelve hours. as he
about this talked-of six hours
day. five days a week. l think
every man ought to have a holi-
day once every so often, but
holidays every day are bad for
nybCdy. think. And beside, 1
have a notion of my own. that |
know one husband who. would
want a lot more attention in the
way of clean shirts, more elab-
crate meals and the like If he
is now having. And that brings
me right down to hard cases on
the woman's side of this argu-
ment. With the men working
coming along. and more work of
household nature coming along
as a result of the shorter work
ing day for men, how about a
hour day? oh. know you will
more he would help you more,
but I ask you. folks. did you ever
know know husband who didn't
thing of it? So, if husbands are
becoming so feeble they cannot
work more than six hours a day
do you suppose weak women are
going to keep right on working
seven days a week. from IL to "A
hours a day. while their husky
husbands are at the baseball
game or bawling around & the ;
house for their meals? d -
And about a half column more of
the same sort of observation.
It's a side of the shorter day agi-
tation. we confess, we had not
thought about. But it would be en-
would it not, if the joy
of our household declined absolutely
to provide a meal at in the evening
because she had prepared breakfast
at in the morning; or if she re-
fused to feed the baby and put the
infant to bed because she had
washed. and dressed and fed it in
the morning. Decidedly, there are
to this six-hour day
business, for it appears that what
is sauce for'the gander ought to be
sauce also for the goose.
Thanks, dear correspondent, you
have given us, in our capacity as a
faithful and dutiful husband, some
thing to consider. Some of us
working men apparently have start
ed something we may have diff
Guilty in finishing.

WANTS HABIT OF SAVING
 ENCOURAGED

Secretary of the Treasurer Carter Glass has sent the following telegram to Governor James K. Lynch of the Federal Reserve bank, thanking the savings banks of the district for their assistance to the government
 Please extend to the members of the savings banks of your district the appreciation of the treasury depart ment for the assistance which they have rendered the government during the Liberty Loan and War Savings Campaign and say that the treasury department will welcome the continu- ance of their active cooperation in campaigns of the same nature during 1919
 Obligations incurred by the gov ernment in order to win the war at the earliest possible date and which undoubtedly helped to terminate the war much sooner than might other wise have been the case must be liquidated. This can be accomplished only by levy of taxes and by the sav- ings of the people converted into in- vestments in government obligations issued for the purpose.
 Savings banks as a whole have not suffered loss of deposits as a result of war financing. On the contrary gains have been received and am in formed that deposits in savings banks are now rapidly increasing. I am con- fident that the savings banks of the country will patriotically assist in the great task of helping to liquidate the war bills of our government and of encouraging the habit of thrift amongst the people which in turn should reflect itself in larger deposits and consequently increased prosperity for savings institutions"

FRENCH CHILDREN TASTE
 THEIR FIRST CHOCOLATE

PARIS, March 1 (by maiD Chill dren born in France since the begin niLg of the war have just made a glori- ous discovery. They have tasted chocolates. In congested quarter of Paris, writes an Associated Press correspondent, a line stretching for more than hundred yards wanted a chance to enter a grocery store. Four policemen wore keeping order among the crowd and women were actually struggling for a place in the line.
 What are they fighting for?" a policeman was asked
 ''The store is selling a quarter of a pound of chocolate to each one," re- sponded the officer. That is the req son why you see so many women bearing their children in arms, they are allowed half a pound then.''
 The correspondent asked one of the women who had with her a fine child and was stubbornly holding her place on the slippery, slushy sidewalk, whether she thought 1t was worth while to risk pneumonia in order to get half a pound of chocolate.
 "You see," she replied, "this baby has never yet tasted chocolate"

WORK LIMITED
 ON RAILROAD
 ANCHORAGE

%a ANCHORAGE, March 31-Despite. the fact that the Sixty-fifth congress adjourned March without having passed the civil sundry bill, carrying $4,0oo,0OO for the prosecution of con- struction and operation activities on the government railroad, the Alaskan engineering commission, which has charge of the transportation system, hopes to keep Is organization intact for all practical purposes and to con- tznue work on limited scale.
 Until an appropriation shall be made by congress, which cannot be done until the expected extra session next June, no new construction work will be undertaken by the commission and operation and maintenance will be somewhat curtailed.
 At the time of the adjournment of congress there was available to the commission about $5O0,00O remaining from the previous appropriation. Plans have been formulated for making this amount meet the expense of necessary work until about July l.
 In an effort to assist the commits sion, the Anchorage Chamber of Con- merce recently adopted resolutions asking the secretary of the navy to spend in working the Eska and Chick aloon coal mines the $1,0O0,OOO that congress last summer appropriated for use by him in prospecting and de- veloping coal lands in Alaska with a view to- obtaining fuel supplies for naval ships. These mines, which em- ploy about 200 men, are now operated by the commission. They furnish coal for railway shops and buildings and also to commercial patrons in towns along the line of the road. If the operation of the mines were tenn porafily taken over by the secretary of the navy, he, with the money at his disposal, not only could greatly ex- pand their activities but would save to the commission funds badly needed by it in its other departments.
 The request to the secretary of the navy is based on the desirability of affording opportunity of employment to returned and returning soldiers. If the request is granted, all the Anchor age young men who have, or soon will come home, can obtain positions either at the coal mines or on the rail- road. If the naval money is withheld great difficulty will be experienced in making places for returned soldiers.

OUTLOOK FOR SIBERIA ISN0T
 ENCOURAGING

VLADIvOSTOK, Feb. 21 Gore spondence of the Associated Press). - A gloomy picture of the situation and outlook in Western Siberia and Rus- sia is drawn by c. l.. Preston, who recently returned from a journey as far west as Ekaterinburg, in the in- terests of the Red Cross. The Czecho- Slovak front, he declared, is a mis- homer, since there is no front" in the usual acceptance of the term, There were Czech outposts in widely separated locations and the fighting was of guerilla nature. The Czechs. he said, were worn out with long service under trying circumstances ard, in his opinion, would fall easy prey to the Bolsheviki if the menace of allied troops were removed.
 Behind the Czechs the country was full of ex-off1cers of the old govern ment, civil and military, who had slipped through in disguise, put on their long-discarded uniforms and in- signia and were busily plotting res toration of the monarchy. Nobody, said Mir Preston, was concerned with improvement of the economic condi- tions. Railroad service was main- tained in hit-and-m1ss fashion. Prac- frni t1{ able, for passenger traffic and these were invariably crowded to a ridicul- ous degree.
 Most of the passenger coaches were serving as domiciles for politicians or political leaders or for transporting delegations. A considerable number were devoted to the service of allied officers and Red Cross or other charit- able organizations, but a far greater number were employed by the Rus sians. Stations at every town of i'm portance along the trans-Siberian were filled with cars Many had been stationary for months.
 A commendable feature of the situ- alton, asserted MT. Preston, was the devotion of the railway employees who had been working on half pay or with out pay and With insufficient clothing and otherwise under most eXacting conditions Except at Tomsk, which is off the main line of retreat of refu- gees, and at Irkutsk which, somehow, manages to keep them moving, it was pract1ca1ly impossible to find lodgings. Every other city or town has had it's population doubled.
 Food conditions are good through out Siberia, said MT. Preston. In many localities the grain crop of 1915 was still unexhausted and the products of the various sections, due to lack of transportation, were market ed locally. It was next to impossible to ship products not only because of lack of cars but owing to restrictions imposed by the various local adminis- trations to curtail exportation. A thousand rubles is demanded for the use of freight car, in addition to the regular freight charges, and the un- certainty of any shipment ever arriv- ing at destination effectively discour- age would-be shippers.
 Mir. Preston who was formerly a resident of Riga and Petrograd, was designated by the government at Washington as an advisor in the re- lief work in Siberia. He has resigned his commission and is returning to America.
