Hold Your lob

Hang onto your job; there are more men than jobs now; work is becom ing scarcer. No matter what the sal ary. hold your job.
 This is the advise of w R. Ashurst government employment agent in the Warren district, given elsewhere in the Review this morning. MT. Ash urst points out reasons for his warn ing. He has telegraphed to Washing. ton to advise all men that labor fields here are filled to capacity. Only re- turning soldiers. formerly employed in the district are finding work. he states.
 MT. Ashurst's advise is good advise, andsshould be needed by every think ing man in the district.
 Economists are agreed that a pe- riod of unrest and business depression is dawning. How great will be this depression and how long it will last, is a matter on which they do not agree. Some say it will continue until the signing of peace-six months, eight or ten months; others estimate year will lapse before conditions return to normal and reflect recon struction trade and commerce.
 The important point, however, is not the duration of the period of stress. but the fact that such a period is now effecting every section of the country, the fact that work is daily becoming less plentiful, that men are more numerous than positions, that conditions will not improve in the i'm mediate future. and that those now in are fortunate.
 It is this point upon which MT. Ash urst lays stress. It is this which ev- cry man should remember and con sider before changing positions. Con- ditions in present employment may not be all that each man desires.
 But in hard times, most any job is better than no job.
 This is Mir Ashurst's message.

RELIEF COM MITTEE SEEKS USED CLOTHES
 FO SHIP TO EUROPE

Although the American people have responded literally in the last few weeks to the appeal of the Commis- sion for Relief in Belgium and France for used clothing and other essentials of life. still further contributions must be sought here if the lives of many people are to be saved. The ne cessity for this effort has been i'm pressed upon the United States by Herbert c. Hoover, who has been chosen to direct this relief work, by the United States government.
 Mrsa F.. F. EllinwOod, chairman of the committee here, announced that the Warren district has done well thus far in furtheTing this worthy cause and two large boxes filled with bedding, linen. layettes, etc, and one partly filled with used clothing, have been prepared for shipment overseas.

Mad Law Season

Southwestern legislators are sharp ening their pencils and wits for the opening of the mad law season, which is regularly initiated this month. with the convening of legislatures in many of the states.
 In the past, this period has brought forth statutes regulating the size of bed-sheets, the height of women's hats and the length of hatpins No folly is beyond the gentleman from Bloody Basin or Big Bug, when he is turned loose to wreak his way with the stat ute books under the dome of the state capitol
 This year, the newest, most original, most unique madcap law, is said to have been prepared for presentation in the Arizona legislature.
 One representative, from a north ern county. has prepared a bill which will protect his constituency from be- ing held up on the cost of dying. Liv- ing is high enough, according to this representative. but dying is even cost Her
 "Coffins around here" says the rep resentative, used to sell for $25 to sS5, but now the ones that the poor people buy are selling for SIS and SS5 each"
 The righteous indignation that flashes in the eyes of the representa- tive. as he says this. can be visualized
 Think, gentlemen, of the situation of the honest voter who cannot af ford to live and who cannot pay for dying, Was ever richer material for barrel-top oratory?
 The representative has an odd rem edy for the intolerable situation. He proposes to iegalize burfals, without l the attention of licensed embalmers ! and to authorize the sale of under takers supplies by persons other than undertakers. Down with the prof ! teers. down with the undertakers | trust!
 Le6 constituents buy their collins in department stores. Let the last sad | rites be performed by the honest town. veterinary.
 One hundred to one, the legislature or the courts will finally step or the plan of this representative. So be it. His duty has been done. Could any fair and honest constituency refuse to re-elect a representative who looked out for it's interests not onlX in life but in death?

Blame and Glory

The historians and other busy lit
 tie explainers of the next generation
 or two may empty the Black Sea of
 int in the task of determining two
 momentous questions: Who started
 the war? What won it?
 The national viewpoint will have to do with shaping the opinion of the personal observer. The bulk of the German writers for the next decade at least will hold their country bame- less of most everything save an over confidence in their own preparedness. To French minds the war was an inti- mate terror. family affair, and its larger aspects are to some extent ob- scured by the narrowness of the range of vision. It is hard to see a picture when one is part of it. In the finals it may be necessary for. some patient, but gifted observer, of far Siam or distant Zanzibar, to take his pen in hand and write the unbiased and accurate story of the war. As to the winning of it, it may be said with out being unjust to any of the par ticipants that the greatest national modesty will be evidenced by England. The American doesn't hide his candle under bushel, but the Britisher some times does that very thing. The day the armistice was signed the an nouncement of the British war office was characteristic of the race. Here it is: Tn the fifty-second month of a war without precedent in history. the French army, with the aid of the Allies, has achieved the defeat of the enemy"
 That was about all there was to it.
 After England had lost not only the cream. but almost the milk, of her manhood, she merely mentioned her self as being among those present in the victorious finals-and that not di- rectly. but only by implication-'as she was naturally recognized as one of the Allies to whom the reference was modestly made.
 British character is completely rep resented in the simple phrase: Eng land expects every man to do his duty" That means everything up to the supreme sacrifice, and for duty performed they ask not for glory of honor lis all in the days work.
 Marshal Foch told Sir Douglas Haie that the terrific drive of the British army through the von Hindenburg po- sitions between Cambrai and St. Quen. tin was the blow that ended forever all hope of maintaining a German of fensive The great Frenehman also told General Pershing of the over whelming importance Of the American smash through the Argonne region.
 The marshal himself has never claimed lions share in the winning, although he might we'll do so. Hun dreds of survivors of Americas Civil war have been heard telling how they won the struggle almost single-hand- ed, but this last war was too big for any indfviduaI to uononolize and un- less Marshal Foch should take toI boasting. no one person may safely claim to have taken more than a good mans part in the great adventure. It was eycrybody's war and was won by team work.-Los Angeles Times.

A very interesting and entertaining
 letter, received by Dr. l. B. Hamilton
 of Cananea from his son, Curtis E.
 Hamilton, who is in the aviation serv-
 ice, describes in detail the departure,
 voyage overseas and arrival in France.
 The most interesting portion is that
 describing the precautions taken in
 laying the ships course, despite
 which, it was attacked by two sub marines. The letter says, in part:
 Our fleet, as finally made up of
 12 transports and the convoy. cruiser, which watched over us half
 way. We then were met by two sub marine chasers and the cruiser left us. As we advanced into the sub marine zone, the number of the form CT increased to eight or nine. We sail ed in a sig gag course, and cur voy- age took 12 days. As we turned north from the Bay of Biscay, toward the Irish channel, on the afternoon of the second day, before reaching port, we were attacked by two U-boats. one Cf which our destEyers got with depth bombs. A number of us were below at the time the first bomb was dropped. short distance in our wake, on our side of the ship. When it ex- ploded it sounded as though a big wave or concussion of some sort struck the side of our boat. The alarm was sounded and we were all on deck in no time and in our life boats-we had abandon ship drill every day. We stood there for half an hour. listen | ing tc the spasmodic whistling from our own and all the other boats, l the chasers speed hither ! and thither, across the ocean. Sev- eral depth bombs were exploded, and l it is claimed one of the subs was de- i In time 'all clear" was | sounded and there was no more ex- citement until the following morning at 10 o'clock, when the alarm was given again.

Because he walks upside down
as well as right side up, the black
and white warbler is also frequent
ly called the black and white
creeper, says the American forestry
association, OF Washington, which
is conducting the national bird
house building contest. This bird
has been called a symphony in
black and white because of the
beautiful manner in which these
two colors are used over his body.
His head is barred black ana
white with a white stripe over eacn
eye, he has white wing bars on
each wing and the inner webs of
his outer tail feathers are white
patched. This bird gets most OF
his food by gathering insects and
grubs from the crevices in the bark
Of trees, thus destroying pests
which might work injury to fine

REPLY TO BILL
OF HUBBY MADE.
Mrs. Edith Hause Writing From
Long Beach Answers Charges
Made by Arthur Hause.

In a letter written from Hotel
Del Mar, Long Beach, Calf, Mrs.
Edith Hause who has entered the
movies with the Fox corporation in
California, answers charges pre-
ferred against her in a divorce pro-
ceedings instituted by her husband,
Arthur J. Hause, in circuit court
The husband charges that his
wife was divorced in this state and
that she married him shortly after,
that he did not know of her recent
divorce which under the laws of
the state makes her marriage to
him void, and that she married him
knowing he was soon to leave for
the army for the express purpose
of obtaining his allotment
Quoting from her letter. Mrs.
Hause says in part:
His statements are half false.
Of course 1 am not in Rock Island
and cannot fight for my rights but
1 want the people to know that his
statement isn't right Mr.. Hause
paid for my divorce and he knew
that 1 had been married before.
81 worked every day he was away
in the service. I can prove it. AS
for marrying Mr.. Hause for his
allotment, I would have starved on
the money. Mr.. Hause was not pre-
pairing to depart for service when
we were married on May %, 1918.
He was not called. until June 27,
1918.
But he knew all about my di-
vorce for he paid for it 1 asked
for my maiden name and it was
given me- After we were married
we lived in Davenport three
weeks"

OUR VTGHANT TEA.TASTERS,

Tea is thing regarding which
our government takes great pains,
upon behalf Of it's citizens. Ever
since 1897 it has had a statute to
prevent importation of tea that is
impure and unwholesome, and the
treasury department has had it's
official tasters who, much after the
fashion of tasters who accompanied
kings when poisoning was the boil
sheviki's favorite method of opera
ton, sample the draught before
their sovereign, the American peo-
pie, gets a chance to drink.
At the end of February the treas
ury announced the standards to
which imports Of tea must come in
1919. That the tea-tasters' art is
delicate is clearly surmisable from
the regulations. The quality must
be up to standard, they say, but the
favor may be that of a different
district; for example, a Teenkai
may be equal to a Moyune, but a
distinctly smoky or Wenchow of
sour character is not to be con-
sidered equal to the first two men
toned.

In earlier times gloves were not

SOLDIERS RELIEF
c0MMISs|0NMEETS
Fifty-Eight Persons Now On
List; Pension Allowance
Not Sufficient

The Soldiers Relief commission
held it's regular meeting Monday at
the county court house, the chief bus
mess of the day being the making out
of the payroll for those on the list.
1t may be interesting to know that
there are 58 persons upon this list,
whose pension allowance is not suf-
ficient for their keeping. These pen
sions range from $50 to $40 per month
but since the price Of living has
mounted so high, many of the old
soldiers and their dependents have
found that they cannot live on their
allowance, and pay for the necessary
sick bills that are continually coming
up.
or the 80 on the list, only three are
men, the remainder being widows of
old soldiers. Practically every one
of these dependents is bed-fast or
stricken with rheumatism, and are
not able to earn q penny besides the
amount they receive from the govern
ment as pension. Most Of them have
no other source of income.
