All Over but the Profiteerins.
Yes, the war is over
And you can prove that
Very easily.
If you don't believe
The war is over

Tobacco that sold for ten cents
During the late unpleasantness
Now retails for twenty cents.
Rents are advancing steadily;
Butter and eggs are hitting
New altitude records.
Telegraph rates are boosted:
Beef is jumping over the moon:
Ice cream sOdas go up this month;
Good s. shirts are $3.50.
Sure the war Is over,
And peace. the thing We fought for,
Has arrived in cur nfdst.

The ways of judges are peculiar.
The United States supreme court has
refused to rehear the gas case, but
has ordered the federal district court
to retry it and render a decision in
accordance with the supreme court
opinion. If the district courts deci-

necessity for another trial is not ap-
parent to the layman's mind.
