KNOWING CONDITIONS.

The average American seems to think, 70, we my one little old vote don't count; they will do as they please, anyhow" Just who they" are he does not seem to grasp or care they" are some one up above who regulates things and he has to take what he gets. The real solution of most of our problems would come out right if the unpredjudiced, thinking people would settle down, demand that real gov ernment for and by the people should be stud- jed, taught in the schools-not by cratic theo- rists but by practical teachers, teachers who be- lieve there is no short cut to ease by murder, loot, mob law, and destruction. Labor questions are mighty hard to settle; they have been "gipped" so aften in the past, both outside and inside that there is little wonder they get to milling around" and are lost and with feel ing that the whole world is against them While not all the world is against them, there is good sized bunch who are, and it needs sound teach ing to bring both elements back to firm foun- dation where all may be allowed the privilege of living under decent conditions, without being undermined when the other fellow is not looking. There is need that all shall know actual con- ditionS.

WHICH END SHALL WE BELIEVE?

While the democratic politicians work one side of the street with the renewed outcry that President Wilson is going to keep us out of war some more through his proceedings at Paris, President Wilson's own war department appears before the House Military Affairs committee and asks for permanent standing army of half a million. The public is somewhat in the position of the man who complained about his neighbours dog because the animal showed his teeth at him and growled. The owner said: Don't you see he is wagging his tail?" 'Yes," replied the eau tous object of the canines attentions "but how can tell which end of the blamed brute to be- lieve?"

had the design of $50 on the obyerse and that of $100 on the reverse. To add to the hard luck, the note had been accepted as $100 bill. The treasury department was notified. It had record of the bill. In 1890 one sheet of bank notes for a Kansas City bank had been reversed in the press. One plate bore the obverse of $50 bill at the top and the ob- verse of $100 bill at the bottom. The other plate bore the reverse of the two notes. The pressman had turned one sheet upside down, backing up the $100 bill with $50 reverse, and in like manner the $50 obverse was backed up with $10O reverse. The cashier of the bank to whom the notes had been issued caught one of them after paying out the first. It was re- turned to the treasury. The recovery of the second one cleared up the re- cords of the department.-Ex.

$50-$100 BILL CAUSED
 TROUBLE FOR HOTEL MAN

A clerk in western hotel found it impossible to balance his cash at the end of the day. Placing the pile of bills in his left hand he counted each one turning the note over and laying it at his right. Counting from left to right, his cash balanced exactly, but when he counted it back again a shortage of $50 was shown The man. ager tried, with the same result Fin ally each bill was examined, separate

The twittering of Secretary Redfield about American conquest of the worlds markets after the war by the psychological method is again in- terrupted by the statement that Great Britain has increased her steel output during the war from 60 to 70 per cent and is preparing to build single plant with an output of, 10000 tons a week in the belief that steel can be produced in England more cheaply than anywhere else 1T. the world.

The slackers who took to the mountains to escape the draft are now kicking themselves vigorously. If they had only suffered them selves to be conscripted and as Conscientious objectors" had refused to perform service, they would have beaten most of their neighbor boys at home with four or five hundred dollar hon. orarium from Secretary Baker and no black mark on the military record.

@ What the country needs is not lengthening of the public payrols and shortening of the pri- vate payrolls, but the shortening of the public payrolls and lengthening of the private payrolls, yet there are politicians who think that every thing will be all right with the American people if all of them can be given political jobs. The question of who are to be the taxpayers under this delectable arrangement doess not bother a demagOgue.

Perhaps the reason Secretary Baker turned loose 113 conscientious objectors" at Leaven- worth with from $400 to $500 each of Uncle Sam's money while half of the conscripted men who did their duty by the government were still retained in the service, was that he wanted few fellows about who could still truthfuly repeat the democratic slogan of 1916: "He kept us out of wan

Of course few ex-soldiers are found in so- cialistic and bolshevik meetings. They were caught in the draft" as they put it. To claim that they represent the spirit of any considerable number of soldiers is an insult to the American uniform.

The carpets in President Wilson's quarters at Versailles are reported by the Creeled cable grams to be an inch thick, while the mud in the military hogwallow provided for the fellow crusaders who are quartered at Brest is re- ported by the returning soldiers to be twenty times that deep. But this war was won with words that cut deeper than swords, we are told.

American birds did their part in the
war by aiding In food conservation, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
National Association of Audubon so
cieties.
Herbert c. Hoover, as food admins
traitor, had asked the American people
to protect the insect eating and MI
gratory birds.
Increased acreage under cultivation
very naturally means more insects In
turn and the need of more birds to
combat them" says the Audubon So
cieties' report. Hence there has been
. still greater need for Audubon serv.
Ice, which through Its many agencies
supplies information and through Its
wardens Is protecting bird life."
Investigate Pelican.
T. Gilbert Pearson, executive head
Of the association, at the request Of
the food administration went to the
Southern Atlantic coast to investigate
a complaint that the brown pelican was
destroying valuable food fish and there
fore should be exterminated. His in
v~estigation in the pelican colonies from
Mexico to Key West showed the re-
ports libelled the pelican clan. He
says the 65,000 odd adult pellcans in
those colonies prey entirely on fish
TINT is not eaten by man and which
are destructive to the young of mar
ketable species.
Another complaint was that the sea
gulls were despoiling the sheep ranges
on the islands Off the coast of Maine.
An agent of the association Investigate
ing the report found that on the con-
trary the gulls were OF material aid

The association wassactive In pre-
venting the destruction of the Klamath
and Malheur bird reservations in Ore
gon and California, which were TO have
been dismantled and drained on the
plea that they were needed for farming
purposes. The birds which took refuge
there In the breeding season were
shown to be valuable c~onservators of
grain and fruit. justifying the use OF
the land as a reserve.
Practical Use Of Bird Life.
II. X. Job. In charge Of the depart
ment of applied ornithology. at his ex'
perimental bird farm at Amaton, Conn.
made important Investigations showing
the practical use of bird life and dis.
tributed his knowledge to landowners

The work Of the association will be
aided by the passage of the enabling
act of the migratory bird treaty, which
viii afford means Of protecting birds
on their way from the United States
to Canada. II is expected that the &c,
will become law now that world peace
will permit a more determined cam

Despite the distraction caused by the
