Educated Clerks.

Two Terre Haute school teachers,
both college graduates, spent week
recently clerking in Chicago bakery.
One day they sold several articles to
two customers. The bill came to ex-
actly % cents and both were elated, be-
cause of the size of the sale. They
were further elated when they heard
one of the women remark to the other
one as they left the store: "They
must have educated clerks here now.
Did you notice that they counted up
the bill in their heads instead of US
ing piece of paper as the old ones
did,"

HOOVER HAS RIGHT IDEA

The dispatches from abroad state
that the present German government
appointed two officials to wait on Her,
bert Hoover, national and perhaps in
ternational, food administrator, and
see when Germany could be supplied
with food. Hoover evidently knew
something about the gentlemen named
as the committee, as we'll as the food
situation, and returned the following
answer:
"You can describe the two and a
half years OF arrogance toward our
selves and the cruelty to the 1elgians
in any language you may select and
tell the pair personally to go to hell
with my compliments. II do have
to deal with Germany, IL will not be
with that pair"
There is little doubt but what when
Mr.. Hoover INDUCES in that kind OF
language he has a well grounded rea
son for it. Hoover is all right.

to hasten their plans. After the cnre-

WITH THE CoLoRED TROOPS

Lieut.. Cleveland Abbott, a graduate
of State College, and a former resi-.
dent of Bookings, has been with the
colored troops over il France. They
have made a wonderful record and
from the very first put the fear Of
death in the minds of the Hun. Lieu.
tenant Abbott was an officer of the
366th infantry, of the 92nd division
and in a letter to a relative in the
state he writes as follows about the
close of the war:
I'VE landed at Brest, France, on
June q, last, having left the United
States on June is. The trip i've was
quite interesting. There were Ii
large ships in our convoy, each car
rying 10000 soldiers.
After landing at Brest we camped
near the city for three days and then
were sent to Bourbonne les Baines.
When we left this place the regiment
was broken up and units of it were
placed in several small villages for
training. After seven weeks we went
into the trenches in the Vosges noun
tains about FIVE miles from the city of
st. Die. We remained in this sector
for five weeks and hen started for the
Argonne forest. We reached there on
September 25, in time to take a part
in the great drive that eventually de-
cided the war. 1t was an American
victory and colored Americans helped
to make it so.
After being taken out Of the Ar
gonne drive we we're sent against the
great fortress Of Metz. The second
army, of which my division, the 92nd
is a part, began a great drive on this
place on the morning of November
10. During the first days attack we
gained all along the line and on the
morning of November II, we renewed
our attack with new vigor. The ar
uistice taking effect at IL o'clock that
morning cheated us out Of new glory.
ut was my good fortune to carry
the message from the colonel order
ing our troops to cease firing as an
armistice had been signed"

Operations Kept Within Industries
Board Limits Still Permit Many
To Do Needed Building

building operations in the city dur
ing the year 1918 have been kept
strictly within the bounds set by the
War Industries Board, and in so doing
many of our property owners have not
engaged in the building that they 9TH
erwise would have done. Yet with
all of the limitations, scarcity of la
spectacle number of buildings have
been erected. The public improve
ments at State College are a large fac
tor in the total amount and are a long
needed addition to the equipment Of
this valuable institution. On account
of the scarcity OF labor we are told
by one carpenter that he had to re-
fuse to build four or five barns for
farmers who really needed them to
care for their stock. Consequently
these new structures will no doubt
be part of the work hat a be de-
pended on for the coming year. There
are No doubt many other cases Of the
same kind. Another thing that un-

new business buildings earlier in the
year, was the extreme high price of
all steel and other material. Again in
1918 as in 1917 it is very noticeable
that most of the new dwellings are
for occupancy by the owner, though
a few houses for rental purposes have
been either constructed or remodeled
from older houses. Such building as
this counts for the permanent growth
of the city and is something of which
the citizens may well be proud.
