The Stranger in Birdland

The Stranger in Birdland

~ Belgium. There is a stranger in
Birdland."
Both stopped still in their play.
Straining their ears, they could hear a
song that came family, yet sweetly
from far within the woods.
"Chee -chee- 90 yoo- 30 yoo Cheer up
Chez wee chec- wee!"

declared Billy "Who can the stranger

''Of course, I'll go and see," replied
Peggy, eager for a new adventure.

Peggy and bold Billy, to see thee solve
the mystery" sang Bob o. link, Mr.

queer rhyme.
"Chee- chez 90 700 90 700 cheer

stranger again. Guided by the sound,
Peggy, Billy and the birds made their
way through the sun lit tangle of trees
and vines and bushes.
The singing grew louder and swcetcr
with every step that Peggy and Billy
took, and soon the birds were trilling
pretty little notes in harmony with it.
Arriving in a pretty glade through
which purled babbling brook. the
voice of the mystery bird rang out so
loud and clear that they looked high
and low among the trees and shrubs to
find the songster. But no strange bird
was in sight. Instead their. eyes pres
emily made out a little green cottage,
half hidden among the bushes and vines.
The song was coming from this cot

cussed this general policy and it was

OBSERVE
Pre.War Discussion
Citing cases in which he said the
council formulated legislation before
war was declared, which legislation
later was considered by Congress, Mr..
Graham declared that on February 10,
1917, the council discussed the draft
system and considered a report from
Commissioners Samuel Gompers and
Howard f. Coffin relative to the ex-
clusion of labor from military service !;
on the same day recommended that
Herbert Hoover be employed by the
government in connection with food
control, and on March 3 indorsed the
daylight saving scheme and recon-
mended federal censorship of the
press.
about the first thing the commits.
sion did was to take up the matter of
arranging an easy method of comiuuni- =
cation between the manufacturers and
the government" Mr.. Graham con-
tinued. I'm several meetings, long
before war was declared, the commits
mission met with the representatives of
the manufacturing industries and
formed an organization of them for SELL
ing supplies to the government.
This method consisted of having the
representatives of various businesses,
producing goods which the government
would have to buy form themselves
into committees so they might be able
to sell to the government direct. When
war was declared, this machinery be-
gan to move.
Although this scheme was supposed
to enable the industries to deal with
the government as one man, the govern
ment was at no time able to deal with
the industries through one man, and
on the contrary. throughout the war
numerous federal bureaus were bidding
against each other for the same supplies,
with greatly increased cost to the
government. Under the ministrations
of the council. big business was highly
organized while the government re-
mained wholly disorganized and in
capable of protecting itself against flag
rant rrofiteering."

brought into existence In absolute vio-
lation of law, it is not surprising to
find this secret government of the

of war supplies; that it put the people
of the country to incalculable unncces-
sary expense and carried things with n

GoethaIs to the Rescue
Mr.. Graham declared that when
Major General Goethals was called 'at
the eleventh hour to rescue the War
Department from the public obloouy
which was fast settling upon it as a
result of the methods and incapacity of
the commission he repudiated and vir-
tually dcfied it,"
"Our soldiers were actually diving of
pneumonia in the camps because of lack
of proper clothing and blankets" Mr..
Graham said. "and General Goethals
assumed the duties of quartermaster
general on condition he should have free
scope in the performance Of his duties,
unhampered by the council of national
defense.
Immediately he took from the mem
bers of that council their power to
order. purchase and fix prices and soon
dispensed with the services of those
members Of the advisory commission
who had so dcplorably bungled the con-
troll of supplies for the army"
Judge Gary advised the advisory COM
mission. Mr.. Graham said, that it was
operating in disregard of the Sherman
law. the Clayton law and ''all other
statutes that are supposed to regulate
business, particularly big business"
When the attorney general was called
upon by the commission to answer
Judge Gary, Mr.. Graham said, he an

violations of law were matters of ma

Special to Times Republican.
Eagle Grove. June l4.-Farmers in
the neighborhood southeast OF Eagle
Grove want to pave the road going
past their farms. but as they are not
on the primary system, they find there
is no way TO pave them at this time.
One Of the farmers is Hon. I. ID. Nc
Wicker, who was our representative In
the Sixty sixth general assembly, and
who did good work in framing our first
real road laws. These farmers would
like to have the laws amended at this
time so that they can arrange to pave.
Joe Long. in addressing a good road;
mass meeting in this county a few days
ago, says he favors the Florida plan OF
letting and approving contracts. Don't
be in hurry to vote upon the ques-
ton Of paving" said Mr.. Long. In some
counties where IN early vote is to be
taken. the board Of supervisors are in
hopes that the question will receive a
negative vote. Mr. Long favors a def
mite plan and then work out that plan
