TEACHERS SIG; BARRIERS $50
Tuesday

Two advertisement appeared
lately in a New York newspap-
er-one Of them calling for a
teacher Of mathematics, history
and psychology, at a salary Of
500 a month. The other one
called for a colored barber at
$50 week.
There is no particular reason
why the barber should not get
$50 a week. Milk wagon driv-
ers are getting $35, and they do
not need to know more about
ing driving than any farm boy
knows. A quick, ht-fingered
barber needs as much dexteri-
ty as milk wagon driver, and
deserves as good a salary
But we are sorry for the tea
cher Of mathematics and his
tory. 500 each calendar mon
tn means $15 week. The bar
Der who gets $50 for pruning
whiskers may be glad he knows
nothing about mathematics or
history. In Washington a tea
cher has to work 25 years be-
fore qualifying for a wage Of
$1,000 a year. In Chicago a
teacher cannot get ST 900 a year
before putting in II years in the
profession. In % states the tea
cheers average less than $4OO a
year

President Wilson has failed to sign
the agricultural bill which repealed
reason, do not know unless it is to
pealing the war time prohibition law.
A few days ago the prediction APP
peared that hogs would socn reach the
$23 mark and they reached that price
in Chicago last Saturday. Regardless
of supply or demand when the pack
ers set price, whether high or low,
the market goes that way and the top
or bottom is reached.
Along this same line, wonder if
the government is still buying bacon
and sending it across the water to the
soldiers. The packers gave as their
reason for the decline in the price of
beef cattle that the government had
countermanded a big order for beef
There were just as many people in the
world after the government counter
manded the order as there were before
and they would eat just as much beef
Why should there be such rapid in
crease in the price of hogs and such
a rapid decrease in the price of beef
cattle is matter which one but
the packers can successfully explain
A. c. Townley, the national head of

his prosecution is just an effort to in

He will return next week to his post
of duty. At this time he has no rea-
to expect to be discharged from

The Free Press has been asked re-
Gently. "What about the Anthony &

nothing can be done until the adminis-
tration turns the railroads back to
the owners. Before the war there was
a great cry by a certain class of pol
iticians for government ownership of
public utilities, especially railroads. It
has now been tried and has proven an
utter failure It takes special training
along certain lines to successfully op-
crate railroads and our Uncle Sam is
not onto the job. The sooner the own

too much red tape in government

VICTORY LOAN DAY
MONDAY, APRIL q
Let it Be Thank Offering for Peace AZ
Well ~ For Victory. Marshall
County Will Do Its Share.

The Victory Liberty Loan Day for
Marshall county has been set for Mon
day, April 21st. On that day from eight
O'Clock in the morning until nine O'Clock
at night the Liberty Loan Committees
of each township or village will be in
session at the appointed place for the
purpose Of taking subscriptions for the
Victory Liberty Loan, the last loan for
paying our expenditures in this war.
and, let us hope, the last loan that viii
ever be asked of our people for war
purposes, as long as the world endures.
Now that victory has been won and the
dove Of peace is again about to settle
down on a war torn world, let us be
thankful to God and make this loan a
real Thank Offering as well as Victory
Loan. AS in the former loans, Marshall
county will, no doubt, do all it is ex-
pected to do and even go over the top.
The cost of the war will have to be paid
and our duties as citizens will not have
been fulfilled until every obligation has
been honorably discharged.
Let every patriotic American citizen
in the county call on their respective
committees on April 21st, and discharge
that obligation.

In spite Of the snow, slush and bad
roads, the first Market Day and Dixon's
Combination Sale brought many farm
ers to town. All the stores have been
exceedingly busy especially this after
noon, waiting on customers who have

TANK Will Be
HERE APRIL Is.
Army Tank, Direct From France, Com.
ing to Warren.-Big Parade and
and Demonstration Planned.

Notified heavily by the brush Of the
camoufeur, driven by member of the
United States Tank corps and showing
scars of German bullets, an American
"whippet' tank, direct from France,
will visit Warren on Friday, April 18th,
in the interest of the Victory Loan.
The tank that will visit Warren is
one of feet of 20 that are operating
in various parts of the Ninth Federal
Reserve District. Before starting
through the Ninth District, the 20 tanks
and their 40 drivers we're modified in
Minneapolis. Before scattering, they
staged parades in St. Paul and Mime
apolis. The pageants attracted thou
sands Of persons along the line OF march
and police reserves were obliged to
force the crowds back so that the land
battleships could pass.
The "'whippets" are 16 feet long,
weight tons, have a maximum speed
of - miles an hour and can show
Rocky Mountain goat some things about
getting over impossible trails. They
can climb hills that are almost perpen-
dicular, go headfrst over cliffs without
injury to tank or driver and can wade
sloughs like duck.
The tank is manned by two returned
soldiers, who saw actual service on the
front in France, and who are experts
in handling this efficient fighting ma
chine. They will demonstrate the
trench climbing abilities of the tank
and other maneuvers by which this ma
chine so effectively aided the allies in
defeating the Kaiser The machine is
equipped with guns and ammunition
which will be brought into action dur
ing it's visit in Warren. This is the
first and very likely the last opportun-
ity of seeing tank in Marshall county,
and everyone should take advantage Of
the opportunity by coming to Warren
on Friday, April 18th, to see this Won
derful engine of war.
Chairman II. l.. Wood, Of the Mar
shall County Liberty Loan committee,
is making preparations for a great
parade and demonstration to take place
