The food shipped by the Allies to Germany
will have to be paid for and it seems that profes
sional idlers will not even be permitted to buy any
Judging from the bitter and outraged comments
of the Berlin papers that have been cabled, the
Germans really expected the food as a free gift
The Socialist organ is particularly indignant at
the requirement that will put idlers to work

PresumabAA the Allies know what they are
about in deciding to send great shipments of food
to Germany, but the testimony has been bewil-
deringly conflicting. Only a few days ago a Ba-
varian member of the National Assembly assert
ed before that body that Germany could get along
without imported food if it would make the best
use of what it has and if the people would Ego to
work" If such is the real situation, food from
without may produce both more idleness and more
Spartacans.

showing that in an address to his army on tn,
cessation of hostilities in 1888 General Washing

Ex-Gov. A. H. Longino has entered the contest
for the governorship of Mississippi, which will
probably close the list of entrants for this race,
The four Russell, Attor-
ney General Ross Collins, Hon. Oscar Johnston
and Ex-Gov A. H. Longino-represent the var
ious shades of political opinion in Mississippi and
every voter in the state will doubtless be able to
find one among the four represent his ideals in
governmental affairs. -Ex-Gov. Longino's form
er incumbency of the office will prove a valuable
asset, as his administration was clean and abso-
lutely free from scandal and one of the most sue
cessful from a financial point of view in the an
nails of the state. A candidates ability as a fin
ancier will be the chief consideration in the 1913
campaign for any office from constable up to
governor. We are perilously near "the shoals in
county and state matters now, and none but COM

The battle deaths in our Expeditionary Forces
are given as 48,768 and the disease deaths up tc
February IA as 20,829. During the same period
the disease death in the army at home were 49,
737, making the wars disease deaths 1866 to
4S, 769 deaths in battle. Unquestionably a large
proportion of these deaths from disease would
have occurred if there had been no war and the
victims had never left their homes.

Peter sat on the back step. He was thinking very hard. There was a new baby boy in the nursery and no one could think of a name good enough for him. Papa wanted short name, and mamma wanted one that began with "P,'' and grandma wanted one from the Bible.
 At last Peter gave it up and went to find Daddy. He was in the base ment putting white paint on the lit tie bed that had been Peters.
 Hello, old man. said daddy, "see what I'm doing? You are too big for the bed now so I am going to fix it for that little red-faced rascal up- stairs. Maybe you think it is robblng Peter to pay Paul, but you have a new one coming out this afternoon. I be- lieve I hear the wagon now.'
 Peter liked the new bed very much. It had brass knobs on it like mamma S and it had no sides which made him feel very grown up. He stayed to see mamma put or the sheets and the pretty blue and white blanket and the blue and white quilt grandma had made for him. Then he remembered what papa had said and ran into the nursery where baby brother lay in his basket.
 Hello, Paul. said Peter.
 The baby blinked his eyes and then smiled his very first sn,lle. "Why, Peter.' said mamma, "you've named the baby and he knows it. See him laugh.'
 "Papa named him. objected Peter, and told mamma what papa had said about robbing Peter to pay Paul. Mamma laughed and squeezed him. That is just an old saying" But they all agreed at the supper 1 table that Paul was just right. Papa
 liked it because it was short. Mamma , liked it because it began with "P.' 1 Grandma liked it because of the Bible | Paul. Polly and Prissy liked it be- 1 cause every one else did. l So Peter climbed into the new bed that night proud little boy. He had named tEe baby.
