Discovery Scares Candidates.

An amusing incident occurred dur
ing the election, which almost caused
every one to retire from the running
Some one discovered that nearly all
those suggested for Office were with

School
Now, that looks bad" said one men,
Der; I'VE don't want all the officers
living on the same block. 1t would be
sure to make cliques." Then declina-
seemed that no one in the association
lived very far from the Wheatley
School, and so the name got to be a
bugbear. However, the day was saw
ed when the president asked that no
more resign and that, later on. an
officer might withdraw in favor of
some member whose house did not
overlook the school.

Cites Broad Scope of Work.

. In asking organizations to name a
m ember of this body Mr.. Wilson made
reference to the broad scope of the
work of the fair price committee un-
der the new act, and said that it
would work in conjunction with the
United States district attorney here
The committees findings, he said,
would be made the basis Of indict-
ments and prosecutions wherever any
such condition was discovered,
The work of the committee will he
done largely by subcommittee, and it
is probable that these smaller commit
tees will have a majority of con-
SumerS as members.
This will assure full presentation of
facts in all inquiries into conditions
affecting the cost of groceries, meats,
clothing, shoes and coal in Washing

The examination Of Amos was set

to swing the fail. The man must have
fallen very near II. Soon we found
where he had been lying and drops Of

They think of US soldiers as heroes
And praise our names up TO the

They've tears for the one who Is

And prayers for the one who dies;
They write songs of our pals and our
sweethearts.
And mothers so brave and SO sad;
But name a great singer or poet
Who's mentioned word about dad!
Poor dad, with his checkbook and
troubles,
He hasn't a look-in at all
It's mother, and pal, and sweetheart,
And Sammy who answers the call;
But dad must be thinking and working
In store, or a mine or mill,
To get the round iron dollars
To pay the big family bill.
He buys the new bonds by the dozen,
Though his shoes are run down at
the heel,
And his overcoat's old and looks
shabby,
But you never hear old daddy squeal
He doesn't write much Of a letter
To his boy who is going to France,
But sends him crisp five or ten spot,
Whenever he has a good chance,
A-smoking his pipe or cigar,
He thinks cf his boy clad in khaki
Says II hope it is well where you
are"

She's written each day I've been

And my pals and my friends and my

That as dad has to pay and work

LOVE LETTERS
FROM FRANCE

I have seen boys who came
back from Chateau-Thierry and
Belleau Wood. Boys with nerves
shattered by the %incessant burst
ing of shells and the intermin-
able booming of the big guns.
Boys who left an arm or a leg
in France. They laughed at their
wounds and joked at their
awkwardness with the new
crutches They had been a-seek-
ing the great adventure.
But there's another angle that
we sometimes don't get.
1t has been my privilege to
read the letters written by an
American soldier in France to
his wife. Underneath the khaki
of the soldier there brcathes the
protective tenderness of the man
for his mate; his anxiety for her
happiness and comfort.
81 wonder if you have enough
to eat, or if you are cold" writes
the soldier husband, crouched in
the mud and damp Of the tren-
ches. HAS our little daughter
clothes enough to keep her warm
while she is going back and
forth from school? All of these
things I think Of so much"
And again; "Tell our little one

You subscribed to four Liber-

You thought of the Lusitania,
and your country had gone to
war. You helped prepare, equip
and maintain the army sent ov-
erseas. And when you read
about Chateau-Thierry, Belleau
Wood, st. Mihiel, the Argonne
Forest, Sedan, you went out and
bought more bonds.
And now, the Victory Loan
and peace. But your patriotism
is yet to be put to the real test.
Over 10000 American boys gave
up their lives for your safety.
More than 100000 soldiers gave
a leg or an arm or their eyesight
for your protection. The crippled
must be cared for and taught
new trades, and other expenses
Of the wal must be met.
Choke down that lump in your
throat and go out and buy some
more bonds to get right with
your own conscience to bring
home the soldier-husband and to
answer his little girls prayer.
