MARsHAllIoWN CALLS THE LEGION.

Those who have in charge the Selec-
ton OF n meeting place for the Amer
lean Legion Of the state will do we'll TO
consider the advantages offered by
MarshaIltown. Marshalltown is within
a half hours easy driving Of the abso-
is the easiest town to get in and out
OF before and after a meeting in the
state of Iowa. II has extraordinary
railway facilities where the trains ar
rive in the early morning and depart in
the late afternoon and evening from
and 70 every par. CO che state. Gem
nections are prompt at junction points.
Add to this that no body or associa-
ton ever met in Marshalltown that did
not go away highly pleased with the
reception given it and the active inter-
est and assistance offered by the city
as a whole and as individuals.
Marshalltown always has taken care
of every convention that has favored
her in a way that brought expressions
OF genuine appreciation and even graf
itude from her guests. They liked Mar
shalltown because Marshalltown is a
fine host and because Marshalltown
liked them.
Any number of the American Legion
may come to Marshalltown. We will
take care Of them thoroughly. If more
arrive than the hotels can care for
there are hundreds Of home doors wide
open to the American Legion. The
latch string is on the outside. Pull 1t
at any hour night or day.
Regarding expense Of railroad fares
the central city of the state would
mean thousands Of dollars to the dele
gates as a whole. AS regards welcome,
patriotic, war winning Marshalltown
and Marshall county stretch open
hands to the American Legion as
guests it would above all guests de-
light to greet with love and honor.

Some Things the Y. M. C. A. Did

Thru the courtesy OF William j.
Latta receive transcript Of the re-
marks OF Mr.. Desnoyess, director OF
the General Supply Division TO the de-
parting "Y" secretaries in Paris.
He pointed out that the ''Y" had to
serve not where II chose but where II
was sent. and that. unlike the Quart
ermaster's Department, it had to meet
the cost OF freight and insurance.
The charge to take a ton of freight
across the ocean ran Us high as 5000
and insurance rose ia, rs per cent.
Here are figures compiled from 5000
shipping orders, showing the stun dis
tributed from base warehouses by the
~" for the ten months from June I.
1913, to April /. 1919. These are not
all the shipping orders, nor do they
include purchases made from the
Quartermaster during January, Feb
ruary aud March, 1919: Letter heads,
So4.717,0o0; envelopes; 225,221, ZOO;
postcards. 100000 candy, 477,455
pounds; candy. 10,15s.3o5 packages:
cocoa. 1.122,467 pounds; milk, 1855,
96s cans: chewing gum. 13,220,o60
packages; jam, 8,401,944 cans; biscuits,
50,365, 040 packages; cigars, 41,560, 093;
smoking tobacco. 1S,1s4, 926 tins; cigar
cts. l,452,S56.15S; chocolate; 82,SS5,-
1853 packages.
As an instance OF the trouble the
"Y" took to satisfy its enormous Glen
tele, take the three items heading the
above list-the stationery. Mr.. Des-
noyess says:
I'VE had enormous quantities bought
In the United States, but we could not
get them.
Z I'VE could not buy them In France.
1--WE could not get them in England.
Apparently we could not get them
anywhere, but the men who were
running the W during the combat
period and the men who are running
it today have never felt that anything
was impossible.
I'VE went to Spain, the only nearby
country not involved in war.
There we arranged for gangs OF
men to go into the forest to chop down
trees, from which wood pulp was
made.
Other gangs Of men converted this
wood pulp into paper. Other groups
cut and printed the paper and made
envelopes.

The gull shall! whistle in his wake. the
blind wave break in fire.
He shall fulfil Gods utmost will. I'M
knowing his desire,
And no shall see old planets pass and
alien stars arise,
And give the gale his reckless sail In
shadow Of new skies.
Strong lust Of gear shall drive him out
and hunger arm his hand.
To wiring his food from a desert nude,
his foctnold from the sand.
His neiGhbors' smoke shall veN his
eyes, their voices break his rest;
He shall go forth till south Is north,
sullen and dispossessed.
He shall desire loneliness, and his de-
sire shall bring,
Hard on his heels a thousand wheels, a
people and King.
He shall come back on his own track,
and by his scarce cool camp
There shall he meet the roaring street,
the derrick and the stamp,
For he must blaze a nations ways with
Ratchet and with brand,
Till on his last won wilderness an en-
pire's bulwarks stand.

HUMAN GRUB.


The hotel men of Chicago are schem-
ing a show or field day, having sent
out a challenge to all hotel men to
compete with them in golf, pitching
horseshoes, footrac!1s. etc. Al of
which is interesting but the impulse
back Of the proposed meeting is more
interesting.
The proposition is to get the hotel
men together and show American cook
cry at It's best with the central idea Of
q renaissance Of American cookery in
the hotels of the country. They mean
to bring the best cooks from the four
quarters Of the country to display the
favorite dishes of each section. A Bos-
tonian will bake beans, Baltimore will
spread herself on fried chicken, Mary
land style, there will be shiny colored
cooks to prepare the log and hominy
of the south and the pork jowls and
green's Of Kentucky. scrapple from
Philadelphia, oysters from New Or
leans, and pies from everywhere.
It's a fine idea However, the picnic
should include the travelling men along
with the hotel people-for the migra-
tory travelling man lights down ct
evenfall to live or die by hotel cookery.
OF all he is most vitality interested and
he ought to have a show for his white
alley and his internal machinery at the
big show. He and his ought to be on
the committee on resolutions.
It's a pity that we have fallen away
in hotels and homes from the good old
fashioned cooking on which our ances-
tors grew tall and raised families OF
ten to sixteen. chopped down forests
and made farms and built towns where
their grandchildren mess up the fruits

lions contributing to the grievances
have disappeared before the decision ia
consummated.
There seems to be a marked dis
position among the rank and file of
workers to criticize the present union
system because it denies the workmen
IN the shop an opportunity promptly
10 rectify grievances, irrespective of
their particular craft union
AT the present moment there is q
widespread feeling among the work
lngmen that the officials of the labor
unions have become detached from
the atmosphere of the shop and not
IN proper sympathy with the work
men. There is marked disposition
among the workmen to be represented
IN the national councils by actual
workers.
"The theory that this movement is
due to foreign propaganda does not
seem to be generally accepted The
more intelligent workers realize that
merely advancing wages does not meet
requirements if the purchasing power
OF money is proportionatcly reduced
Their final desideratum is wage that
will insure a specified minimum stand
ard of living regardless of fluctuations
IN the cost of commodities.
when asked what substitutes thew
had to suggest, the reply from many
was:
Unemployment insurance
Health insurance.

from 1,7o3,000 to 1,s4s,O0O, or s.5 per
cent. This was said to be only a nor
maj rate of increase to take care Of
traffic handled. In most classes Of
employment the numbers increased, ex-
cept IN the cases of freight and pas
senger enginemen, firemen. conductors,
tralnmen and flagmen. The demand for
these classes of men on military rail
ways IN France caused a decrease in
the number employed in the United
States.
Increase of s77,761, 900
The aggregate payrolls for all classes
rose from 1888 ,O39, 1893 in December,
1917, to $230,S00,000 last January, with
the average rate of pay increase 48
per cent. There was a reduction in
pay of only one class, general officers.
among whom many high salaried rail
road presidents we're removed from the
operating payrolls.
The increase in the number of en-
ployes was greatest in the territory
where the war traffic had been con-
centrated, notably in the Allegheny
region, where the increase was 15.4
per cent. The number and percent
age of increase in the total EMPLOYEES
