TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE BOY HAS COME HOME

THE BOY HAS COME HOME.
The Boy has home! And the door STANDS Waoe'
And the old house shakes to- his hobnaied stride,
And the old farm smiles from side to side,
For the Boy, back home at last
Home from the broken homes of France,
From the ravaged fields of the Huns advance,
The shattered woods Ger whose drear expanSe
The short stlmps stand aghast!
The Boy has home-and he's home to stay!
And he'll never want to go away
Not in forever and a day
From the peace of the old home soil;
And the mother smiles, with heart at rest
Her cheek his khaki shoulder pressed,
And a glad heart beats in Dads worn breast
AS he turns to his hghtened toll
The Boy has come home and his heart is here,
And he's keen for the tasks of the full farm year,
To sow and NOV, with soul Of cheer,
And bear the hard works brunt;
But into his eyes look will come,
Swift mid the worfday's cheerful hum,
And his mother sees, and watches dumb
She knows he's back at the 'FRONT.'
The Boy has home, and his hearts true blue,
But it holds, with the old, the marvellous new,
And his clear eyes sweep DER a wider view
Than once their utmost span;
And he thinks world thoughts that afar he found
He knows that the still old farm is bound
With every farm in the worlds wide round
Since the Boy home-a Man!

LABOR CONDITIONS.

The National City Bank of New York in it's
review of material conditions in this country
says that unemployment is disappearing, even
at points where much has existed. Taking the
country over, the labor situation is approaching
that of scarcity. The smaller cities which did
not have war industries are generally short,
and the movement of returning aliens to Europe
is taking tens of thousands from the industrial
districts. Food supplies, according to the sta
tistics Of the bureau of labor, are as high as at
any time last year, and this is true of household
accessories generally. The pressure for higher
wages continues and there is constant revis-
ion of wage scales upwards, all of which AFRO
promptly reflected in living costs. There is
great unevenness in the wage advances tbat
have been granted, which shows that +1,;s
scramble for higher wages and prices on Tho
whole is productive of injustice rather than IF
social amelioration, Thousands of deserving,
people are not in position to obtain an increase
of income sufficient to meet the increased -.

TAGGING INTEREST.

Ottumwa Courier: For spineless
ness and utter lark of that virile
spirit which permeates all the prog
ress America can boast, this com
ment on the most vital subject be
fore the American people today DC
mands prominent if not honorable
mention:
No one on this side Of the
water fully knows or realizes
what the league and the covenant
actually contains. There are
some fears that agreements have
been entered into which will
,embarass American trade later
on, but in these respects we can
only wait and see.
There is nothing left for the
senate to do but ratify the treaty.
II amendments are undertaken
and the treaty shall be sent back
to be signed again, it will be six
months before it will all be over.
The country would prefer not to
have such delay. The thing to
do is to adopt the covenant,
treaty and all, and fight the other
difficulties out afterward.
1t is with regret that we add that
these paragraphs are from the Des
Moines Capital, whose editor. Lafay
cite Young, ST., built a reputation In
Iowa and the nation for staunch, un
swerving Americanism. Mr.. Young
was a member Of the United States
senate few years ago. He was
chairman of the Iowa council Of de
Tense during the war, and frequent
ly he proclaimed his militant Ameri
canism on the platform and in his
newspaper. Numerous Iowans have
admired him for his fearlessness and
stalwartness. They regret that he is
growing older, that his pen is losing
its virility and his interest in mat.

says. helplessly, although mo one on

what it's effects may be. Mr.. Young
thinks six months too long a time
to devote to insuring the United
States for all the future against in
ternational entanglements and diff
culties. Rather than have the treaty
and league covenant thoroughly un-
derstood and, If necessary, so amend

THE ECONOMIC SITUATION,


food and other necessities of Life is the most
serious and menacing phenomenon in the world
today There is no civilized land in which this
lis not the pressing problem, dwarfng every
thing else-the parent cause from which the uni
lversal unrest springs The surplus stocks of
the world are largely gone, wiped out by the
war; and gone also are tens of millions of work
ers whose labor would have contributed to re-
iplenish the wasted stores. It is therefore the
Iage-old trouble, Indulgence, lack or paucity of
needed things, from which mankind now suf-
ifers.
Money alone did not win the war nor was
the volume of it lessened by it. There is more
coined and printed currency than ever before.
Goods, foods, men, fought the war, and in fight
ing it suffered much, were so reduced, that
no active belligerent nation has now surplus
of either workers or of food. Dollars have be-
come relatively more numerous than the things
for which they are normally exchanged Hence
the wild food rioting in Italy, the restless bit
terness Of the British masses, the dire need in
France and the practical starvation in the near
east. According to Paris estimates the cost Of
living has increased two hundred and fifty per
cent. in England, three hundred and fifty in
France, four hundred in Italy and two hundred
in the United States.
This condition facilitates the constituencies
activities of profteers The decreased supply
enables them to levy an exorbitant toll upon the
necessaries of life. In our own land, which has
the biggest food surplus of any nation, condi4
tons are not so bad as in Europe. Yet we are
living from hand to mouth, the phrase u.s.
more than ever before. There is undoubtedly
much profteering and very evident general
agreement on the part of producers and handlers
to make prices as high the traffic will bear.
The things they buy cost more than formerly,
hence they feel justified, and in sense COMPEL
ed to multiply their profits what they sell.
They must do so in order to keep up life on the
scale to which they are accustomed; and frugal
itv. retrenchment seem to be the last of the rem
edies for the situation to which anyone willingly
turns.

'Stil another factor in the produc- tion of colds, pneumonia and other re- spiratory diseases is carelessness or ig- norance of the people regarding suit able clothing during the seasons when the weather suddenly changes, sitting in warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what Is even more common, especially among women, dressing so lightly that windows are kept closed in order to be comfortably warm.

UNJUST BE NO SAGGING"
R0OSEVELT'S LAST PLEA
Applies in Most Direct Manner to Pop
uiar Support Of Nations Finan-
cling Projects.

That Theodore Roosevelt's last plea
to America, There must be no sag
ging back has the most direct appli-
cation to popular support of govern
ment financing projects, including sale
of War Savings Stamps was the state
ment made today by A. R. Rogers,
chairman of the central committee,
War Loan organization for the Ninth
Federal Reserve District
Roosevelt with his keen American
ism saw the possibility of sag com.
ing with the actual fighting at an end
and was most earnest worker 10
keep the hearts and thoughts of the
people placed right during the period
Of rebuilding the same as in the war
period" Mr.. Rogers said.
every argument that applied to the
habit Of thrift during the war applies
to it today The personal benefit of
saving is as great as ever, the profit
from interest on the investment is still
as good as it was. The security OF
any loan made to the government was
unquestionable and today, with fight
ing at an end and even the possibility
that Germany might triumph gone, It
is perfect.
when Roosevelt said there must
be no sagging' he meant that the hab.
its of right action developed by the
war must be continued. If he had
been asked he would have said that
for the American earners to keep, for
their~ future benefit and the bene-
fit of their families, a part of
their earnings, was just as i'm
portant as any of the big national
policies. He would have said that to
the Garner and saver himself savings
are Immensely important.
ITO stop saving and buying War
Savings Stamps today would be as
bad for the man at home as it would
be for the soldier holding the Rhine
to go on duty from now on without q
rifle Cashing the stamps now which
person has bought before, is simply
a retreat, as If the army that fought it's
way to victory should run back to the
Marne and beckon to the enemy to
pour into France once more"

Yank's Name on Casualty List Eight
Times, Now He's Home Safe

Fitchburg. Mass.-Sergt. Gordon w.
Hardy is one Of Uncle Sans soldiers
that the Huns couldn't kill. Eight
times his name was on the casualty
list, but now he's back home safe and
SOUND. Seven times he was wounded.
Twice he was gassed by mustard gas.
He spent nine weeks in German
prison camp, from which he made
daring escape. Hardy was one of the
first 10000 American soldiers on the
firing line in France and he served
with two United States divisions
which were practically wiped out. This
twenty-three-year-old lad has been
complimented by General Pershing for
bravery. He declined to try for a
commission. II wanted to be in ac-
ton all the time and not scratching my
desk with spurs" he said.

that call Is az urgent now as It was
in 1917 or 1918. Because an individ-
ual has done his duty conspicuously up
until now does not excuse him from
further efforts. There can be slack
ers in peace times as we'll as In war
times, and our organization will work
untiringly to see that all Of the peo-
pie Of these Northwest states realize
their duty and do it, Incidentally,
while we are performing our duty to

are convinced that it is necessary to

CONCRETE nose
ON EAGLE BOATS
New Type Of War Craft Equipped
With Powerful Light
Guns.
GARRY Crew OF EIGHTY MEN
Long, Gaunt Weapon Of War, Of All.
Steel Construction, With the Ex-
ception Of the Concrete Base
Vessel Is Compact.

Detroit, Mich.-A long, narrow
wedge, with steel-incased nose OF
solid concrete, tapered to a knifelike
edge, forming considerable part of
it's total length of 2O4 feet, and de-
clared to be capable of crushing any
submarine-such is the Eagle, de-
signed originally to help rid the seas
of the menace of the German U-boats.
Contrary to popular belief, the
Eagle is not motorboat, but an oil
burning, steam turbine-driven craft
with cruising radius of 5000 miles.
The Eagle is not a thing Of beauty {;
beauty was not contemplated in it's
construction. ut is a long, gaunt
weapon 'of war, Of all-steel construc-
ton, with the exception of the con-
crete nose.
Another popular impression that has
been shattered is an idea that the
Eagle boat is equipped with torpedo
tubes. The submarine chaser was
not intended to combat the major in
strument Of German ruthlessness with
it's own weapons. 1t was designed to
depend rather upon it's maneuvering
qualities, it's powerful light guns and
new American invention for direct.
ing it's fire at unseen objects.
Has Crew Of Eighty Men.
It's crew, including operating and
fighting complement, numbers approx
imately so men. 10 the observer, the
first impression of the Eagle boat is
one of wonder that craft so narrow
can possess buoyancy sufficient to keep
it upright in heavy seas. Despite it's
length of more than an average city
block, the craft has a beam Of only 25
feet, and draws when fully equipped
less than ten feet Of water.
It's seaworthiness has been demon
strated in the official trials, according
to reports to the navy department.
While it is admitted the Eagle does
not make the speed Of the average
destroyer, it is claimed that it can out
distance most submarines and the
razor-like edge Of the bow silently
but eloQuently tells what would have
happened had it come in contact with
the German undersea pirate.
Vessel Is Compact.
Built with utility as it's prime pur-
pose, seemingly not an inch of space
is wasted in the fitting Of the vessel,
and not an ounce Of superluous
weight enters it's construction. When
dropped into the water ready for the
installation Of it's engines, guns, etc.,
less than 200 tons of material have
been riveted together to shape the
Eagle boat.
The plates that form the shell Of
the submarine chasers vary in thick
ness from one-fourth to three-eighths
inch, and not a single forging or
rolled beam enters their makeup.
Everything is pressed from sheet
metal, cold, by means OF. machinery
that cuts every piece to an exact pat
tern, punches rivet holes and bends
the interior part to required shape.
Amidships rises the deckhouse,
topped by the pilot-house, with radio
quarters, and above all the coming
tower, with the crows nest at the
highest point. Except for this super
structure, the deck Of the Eagle car
RES always the ''stripped.for-action"
appearance.
