Jimmie Coon and Teddy Postum

They had to get more fresh eggs for
Mr.. Red Fox, and they had to IVORY two
whole days for Sammy Muskrat be-
cause he had brought little Peter In
raft from the sand bar.

'how hard we have to work for Mr..
Red Fox and Sammy Musirat!

II don't have a minute either,
said Teddy Postum. little Peter
Rabbit sat watching them build the
dock. Peter was very happy, because
everyone thought he was great
swimmer and. of course, he was. And
now that his reputation was made,
he had nothing to do but enjoy 1t.
"My!" said little Peter to himself.
II have shown everyone how / can
swim and now won't ever have to
do 1t again. Ugh! How hate the
feel Of water-it Is so damp" and
Peter shivered all over.
Bullrushes grew on the edgh OF the
d toon'o eeeeeeeeecee taoin shrdluuuu
pond where Sammy Muskrat was
working In the bank, and the clay
from his work made the water muddy
every once in a while. Painted turtles
poked their striped heads out of the
water to wink at little Peter. The sun
was very warm and little Peter was
very happy.
Red winged blackbirds lowered and
whistled over him, and hawk
screamed in the forest. Mr.. Woodchuck
climbed down from a willow and went
away into the underbrush.

ADVISING THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER.

The department of agriculture ad-
vises the ultimate consumer to disre-
gard the save food signs still on the
bill boards and which threaten wide
spread starvation abroad unless we
save food here. He says we must eat
more beef to save the cattle industry.
The assistant secretary of agricul-
ture insists that the retailers are hold
ing beef prices too high by comparison
with wholesale prices.
The retailer offers his books and
says he isn't making fair profit. He
says that wholesale prices have not
gone down to any appreciable extent.
The consumer says that he simply
can't buy it as he'd like to. that he is
wriggling and twisting to make his
wage cover his absolute daily necessi-
ties and that he is stretching every
dollar till It cracks.
The conusmer says he knows that
he ought to save something every
week. He is advised to buy thift
stamps, advised to keep the liberty
bond he thrifty and periodically paid
out at SO much a month. Then he
figures up the cost of daily living, the
boy and girl in high school, points to
the prices of shoes and clothing and
everything else. He mentions the
rent or the taxes and repairs and
painting, the loss Of working hours
thru rain and other causes. By the
time he gets thru his personal statict-

WE DON'T NEED II.

Prize fighting is a bit rough, and it
might make some women scream If
not faint to see one man punch anoth-
or, but it represents a bit of that hard
ness that we would better retain a
while longer as a human asset. We
can not all turn our attention to sing

strength and what may be called the
brute courage to take punishment die
entirely among us-Cedar Rapids Re-

SUING WAR WORK COMMITTEES.

The Cedar county lawsuits brought
against members Of war work commit
tees by Fred Klipp and Henry Heine-
mann at Upton. who had been objects
of considerable urgency on the part
of war work committees and patriotic
neighbours, have been dropped. Com
plainants were assessed $500 attorney
and witness fees and are subject to
the court costs.
The plaintiffs sued for 800. 900 dam
ages. It is said that they were pro-
missed backing by others who held
similar grievances.
There are a few men everywhere
who feel themselves aggrieved because
pressure was broguht upon them in
wartime to induce or even force then
to share the burden Of the war. Some
of those are still seeking ways and
means of reprisa1 upon those who hat
that duty in charge. In some in
stances in this and other states tina
feeling has crystallized into suits

show has been staged for them. But
the nation has a warm place in it's
heart for the war nurse. Such honor
as that which goes to patriots who
volunteer for dangerous work, here or
abroad, goes with her. Such honor as
belongs to those who were under fire
or exposed to the chance of it belongs
to her, too, for the nurse was shin
ing mark for the kaiser's bombers.
The cynical logic of the German high
command was that one nurse killed
would cause ten wounded men to die
of neglect.
The faithful nurse in the home camp
hospital had work even more taxing
than that of the rank and file of the
men. No daily drill ground drudgery
could equal the long hours of going
back and forth from cot to cot doing
the endlessly repeated tasks demand
ed by the sick.
There is glory enough to go all
around, both for the men at arms and
the women at the sick bed. The honor
will not all be distributed this season.
The years will adjust it equitably, and
multiply it to the worthy ones.-Min-

This is an announcement that will
be received with general satisfaction.
Next to the actual resignation Of Mr..
Redfield we can think Of nothing more
calculated to create a pleasing inn
preston throughout the country than
the assurance that hereafter he is
going to concentrate the resources Of
his gigantic intellect on fish. In this
complicated transition epoch, to be
sure, there will be many problems for
the department Of commerce to solve.
There will arise questions and oppor-
tunities wherein the department Of
commerce, denatured as to Redfeldian
guidance, might be Of inestimable val
ne to the country. But there seemed
to be no way of unloading the Red
field handicap. That Mr.. Redfield
would resign is inconceivable. That

AS the A. E. F. Sees Home.

Stating a generalization, always a
bold thing to do, realization seldom
comes up to expectations. The first
cigaret we smoke after swearing off
for two weeks doesn't justify the
amount of expectation we devoted to
it. The first bicycle of our youth was
found to be fallible instrument sub
ject to punctures and other COM
plants. The nectar of the gods itself,
if obtainable at the leading cafes,
would probably prove to be liquid
which left a bad headache the next
morning. And so-we look forward
to getting home. What does it mean ?
Family, kisses, handclasps and tears

Tedious? Well, yes; it does pail

make man little restless.
The worst Of it is that a good many

"I'll fix it," says the reformer
"Well appoint committee to get al

It's a state of mind all right

gency it might be well for the navy
department to be administered by
somebody whose nautical training had
not been confined to editing coun-
try newspaper and navigating canoes
on North Carolina creeks. So he
frankly eliminated himself and turned
over his department to those who
knew how to run it.
And now, rather late in the day, to
be sure, but none the less welcome,
comes the news that Mr.. Redfeld is
following the example of Josephns.
He is going to relieve the department
of commerce Of the handicap of his
directing intelligence and is going to
concentrate on fish, IF only the
political master general could be
brought to see what a field for his
genius there is in, say, poultry-but,
oh pshaw! What's the use?-Har-

Honor to the Nurses.

In time of war the unequal distribu-
ton of labor, pain, punishment, pay
and glory is more common and more
glazing than in times of peace. Every
private soldier and every war nurse
realizes this. So do those at home
who think upon the matter.
There has been but little public
demonstration in honor of the nurses
coming home from the war. Like most
of the soldiers, they have simply
filtered through. from service to pri-
vate life. They do not come in units
large enough to justify it, and SO no
