all over our great rich country, women
sat day after day and made under
drawers with from ten to fifteen but
tons, and worked the button holes.
why did they do it? Why didn't
they send the old men X. Y. z. under
clothes, such as their own husbands
wore? Or explain to the Belgians that
they didn't need buttonholes and that
Belgium would get on better if she
adopted modern methods?
Il believe the answer is that our
women simply admired Belgium too
much; they had no suggestions to of
fer to such people. Their one wish
was that those old men and women
should have the kind of clothes they
had always lived in, with no feeling
of strangeness. A great deal Of verse
has been written to Belgium, but
when | saw our smart, capable west
ern women patiently making drawers
with fifteen buttonholes and chuckling
with a kind of pride in their work, |
thought that was poetry. | knew how
many old feelings must have been
rooted out and new feelings born, to
make them want to do it, in that
tedious way that was against the
tempo of their whole lives"

JUNGLE TOMS CABIN"

Harriet Ward Beecher Stoves fam
Gus story OF slavery before the Civil
War is well represented in the dram
atization Of this well known story
Uncle Toms Cabin" and as produced
by TerTy's excellent company. The
presentation is an interesting one, and
is given in its entirety just as depict
ed by the author. The company that
Terry carries this season is equal TO
those that are seen in the larger city
theaters, he having spared no expense
to make the company one Of the
strongest entour The cast is made up
Of the very best talent. The scenic
and electrical effects complete, in fact
the show as put on by the Terry COM
pany is spoken of by the press and
public as a splendid presentation of
the national drama.
The musical part of the show this
year is to be considered; three bands
and orchestras are carried that are
the talk in every city visited, being
composed Of high class array Of solo
musicians. The show is advertised to
give one performance at Brookings,
June 30.

A GERMAN COALITION

Sioux City Journal.-One reason ad-
yanced for softening the German peace
terms and admitting Germany into the
league Of nations is that it will pre-
vent that country from forming a
coalition with Russia for the purpose
OF launching another war against the
rest Of Europe. The argument is with
out merit. on moral principles it IS
like taking the criminal into the home
and making him a member Of the fam
lily to prevent him from stealing the
family plate. But there are stronger
objections than this.
The allied nations have tentatively
recognized the Omsk government,
which has military control Of a large
portion Of old Russia and Siberia. If
that government stands, it will not en-
ter into any coalition with Germany.
The governments created out Of form
er Russian territory in the west are
proteges of the peace conference and
they certainly are under binding moral
obligations TO keep away from alli-
ances with the enemy. This leaves
nothing except the area controlled by
Lenine and his band of Russian /. w.
W. murderers TO join Germany in a
coalition against the rest Of Europe.
The bolsheyist government Of Moscow
Is being squeezed into closer confines
and It's overthrow is among the GER
tainties Of the future. Nothing else,
then. is left of Russia sufficiently
strong to scare the peace conference
into granting accessions to Germany
lest Germany retaliate. The peace
conference hes an attack of German
hydrophobia of super-ability and pow
er. II needs an antidote Of common
sense.

MUST DESTROY BARsERRY

The second inspection of all bar
berry paintings found in the state will
begin this month for the purpose CT
checking up the work and to see that
those few persons who, through neg
lect or intent, have not destroyed their
barberries shall do so. The inspec-
tors have no desire to fine anyone but
will not hesitate to recommend fine
to the state police officer, IL 1t is nee
essary to do so in order to secure the
removal of all the barberries. This
announcement is made by II. G. Gill

berries have been found this year and
many of the paintings located in 1918
were not properly dug. so we're still

"If l could speak with everybody
and rheumatism, | would tell them TO

was the statement made by J. T..
Steele Of Shirley, H., recently. Mr.
Steele. who Is now employed in gen.
erai store in Shirley, was formerly q
conductor on the i. q n. railroad,
which position he states he had to
give up on account Of bad health.
"a number Of years ago, while rail
roading," he continued, 81 began suf-
fering from stomach trouble and rheu-

THE BOY SCOUT LIFE

Philadelphia Public Ledger-When
it comes to the Boy Scouts one is
not dealing with an organization CIV
en- to military exercises, but to one
that at work or in play does recognize
from first to last the value of group
action and group teachings, by which
all are led to look upon themselves as
vital members of community, each
his brothers keeper in fact, without
prejudice to the development of any
individuality that the free opportun-
ity of the Boy Scouts life gives. And
this is the great thing about the Boy
Scout movement, which, seen in it's
moment of service, on duty and in its
moments of relaxation, makes it the
greatest Americanization movement,
next to the schools of the country,
that has ever been devised. All the
princiles and the practices of the Boy
Scouts make for the manly independ-
ence, which at the same time recog-
nize it's mutual human responsible
ties that are the very basis of sound
Americanism. Those, therefore, who
are reaching out in all directions for
plans to Americanize this country and
to build up in it's youth common ac-
ceptance of its ideals with a full un-
derstanding of it's institutions and
respect and affection for them cannot
but give up some time this coming
week to cooperating with the Boy
Scout leaders in increasing the mem
bership of the organization. The re-
suits will more than pay for the ef-
fort now and in future; for the re-
suits will not only give pleasure TO
the boys themselves but will be the

THE WAR EXPENDITURES

New York Times-"The war was
won gloriously," said Representative
Cantrill of Kentucky, democrat, speak
ing on the resolution to investigate
the war departments expenditures.
So it was; nobody doubts it. But that
is no reason for not auditing the bill,
So the democrats seemed to think,
for they voted unanimously along
with the republicans, for the investi-
CATION proposed by Mr.. Graham, of
Illinois.
There should be the most searching
and rigid Investigations; and we hope
the committee will go deeply into the
aviation expenditures, concerning
which the country is far from salts
fed. We do not believe that the in
vestigation will be political" despite
Mr.. Campbell's unfortunate choice OF
words. For one thing, Senator Pen
rose will have great deal OF infiu-
ence with the investigating commit
tee. much more than Representative
Campbell; and Mr.. Penrose has put
forth a program for congress in which
he declares for an investigation that
shall be strictly nonpartisan in its
character and results.
The committee will not have the
confidence of the country unless it con-
ducts the inquiry in a nonpartisan
way, and unless it extends its activi-
ties beyond the mere question OF
whether the democrats were extrava-
CANT or not. The country wants to
know mainly how expenses can be re-
duced now and in the near future.
It has patiently paid the bills, trusting
the accounting to the future. 1t is
right and proper for the republicans
to find out where, il anywhere, money
was wasted, and we hope they will do
inst that; but the country also wants
TO know when expenditures can be re-
duced. Let the committee find that
ont and it will earn the gratitude and
confidence of the nation. 1t will not
earn either If it merely confines itself
TO learning where the democrats vast
ed money, with no hint about how the
republicans can save it, Here, again,
we turn for light to Senator Penrose,
who has declared as part OF his pro-
cram that the war expenditures must
be severely cut.

AIR TRAFFIC CENTER

TUNIS, Aug. 9.-The Tunisian
commission of aerial transports has
drawn up a vast program of colon
ial aviation and recommends that
a great aerial transport center be
established here to centralize aerial
traffic over the Mediterranean Sea.
The commission argues hat Tunis
occupies an advantageous, position at
the junction of the French and in
ternatiOnal Mediterranean and that
a regular aerial service should be
established between the city of
Tunis and the rest of this French
protectorate. Already a line of
airplanes is in operation between
Gabes and the frantier of Tripoli.
This may be extended later to
Tunis.

De Leval accompanied Mr.. Glib

PLANNED FOR SAILORS
SUGGESTION MADE THAT WEST.
ERN CITIES DONATE TRIO
PIXIES FOR CONTESTS

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.-A
great dancing party on the decks
of six battleships and dreadnaughts
of the Pacific fleet at one time with
girl partners for every ''gob" is
among the many entertainment fea-
lures planned for the visit here of
the fleet. Hundreds of girls have
expressed their desire to dance with
the sailors.
Local sportsmen and naval adj
mirers in civilian life are sponsors
for a suggestion that western cities
donate trophies to be competed for
by men and ships of the fleet.
Many vessels of the fleet bear
names Of western states and cities.
1t is proposed that citizens of these
states and cities donate trophies for
competition among men on ships
bearing similar names and that
plans be worked out to have tro-
plies for fleet championships.
Practically every battleship and
cruiser, besides many d~estroyers,
have baseball teams. There also are
many football, tennis. track and
other athletic teams among the
fleet.
Athletic contests between teams
representing ships of the fleet and
hnfuynnn naval nn6 civilian nruonf.
cations, will be staged at many of
the ports visited by the fleet, it was
said here.
Fleet athletic managers also will
be open for challenges for contests
with outside organizations after the
vessels are stationed at permanent
bases.
The dreadnaught Arizona has the
champion boat crew of the Ameri-
can navy, but the Prince OF Batten-
burg trophy which goes with the
title had to be left behind in the
hands of the Atlantic fleet when the
Arizona was assigned to the west.g
Prince Battenburg of the British
navy donated a cup to be held by
the ships crew which won it in
annual competition. However, he
specified it must be a ship of the
Atlantic fleet. The trophy was do
mated Is or more years ago when
the Atlantic fleet was about all
there was to the American navy.
San Francisco sporting enthusi-
asts have been informed of the lack
of a trophy for the racing crews of
the Pacific fleet and a movement
was put under way for one to be do
mated from this city.
1t was believed a suitable trophy
would be given the fleet by the
Olympic club of San Francisco to be
raced for in inter-fleet contests
yearly or more often.
