question of. very short time I'M
til we will have to increase both
the Burton and the Vashon build

we will have to add equipments
and more teachers along with it,
and there is no doubt in my mind
that the saving on the number of
teachers and equipment, that
these items alone will do a great
deal to lower the cost of running

A Mothers Letter
To the Editor,
Dear Sir.
T. Hansen,

To the Editor,
Dear Sir:
AT different times there APP
pears letters from our "Cove
Comments" correspondent, ex-
pressing sympathy with the con-
scientious DIRECTORS now in prison.
1t takes certain amount of
courage to espouse an unpopular
cause. | have no doubt many OF
the DIRECTORS were sincere in their
motives. AT the same time we
have the example of the Friends
who object to war, but whose
creed did not keep them back
from deeds of loving kindness and
Christian charity. In the fall of
1914 the quaker women of Britain
took care of the alien girls that
had been left there at the out
break of the war, and helped them
back to their own lands. We also
know the Friends were with
the Red Cross, and served as
stretcher bearers, etc. | would
think that job needed great cour-
age. They were busy with recon-
struction work in France, and in
all kinds of service to sufferers
There were many ways of serving
during the war. I am sure that
mothers the world over were con
scientious DIRECTORS, and when
all women have equal rights with
men, we will see better world.
AT the same time, any woman,
with any heart whatever, could
not help putting herself, in
thought, in the place of the wo-
men of Europe, and it seemed to
many of us that no sacrifice was
too great to help put an end to
such a trrible war. We know it
isn't at an end yet, but it is not
a time to belittle them that faced
the peril and misery of war.
Neither is it time to glorify the
conscientious objector. Bye and
bye, when we are built like angels,
we may see how noble it was to
shirk, what seemed a plain duty
to the majority. In the meantime,
| have to confess to conviction,
that men who did their utmost to
harass the government, of any
land, only got what was their due.
We look for the dawn of bet
ter day, "When the war drums
throb no longer. But until that
day dawns we hope that our boys
will always have the "gumption"
to rise up and fight, fight for the
right. "
It's fine to remember the great
company of men, women and
children, all over our land, who
did their utmost to serve their
country, in its hour of need, who
rallied round the flag, and in
every patriotic way backed the
boys who went across. I found
a poem yesterday, which many
may have read, but il will not
hurt to read it again:
"our Dead, Overseas
They sleep; they took their chance
In Italy, in Belgium, in France.
For us they gave their youth to
it's last breath
For us they plunged on into the
gulf of death,
With high heroic heart
They did their valiant part.
They gave the grace and glory of
their youth,
Yet they have wages that we
know not Of
Wages of honor and immortal
love,

THE SLUMP IN SUGAR.

Spectators eithersin stocks or commodities
find themselves now and then i'll a situation
where they cannot pass on their losses to the III
innate consumer, as they would Joyfully do.
Dealers with stocks of sugar on hand are III tins
unpleasant predicament, especially those OF
them who bought it around twenty-five cents
pound on the superstition, studiously fostered
by men who had sugar to SELL that it would go
to forty cents or above. Retailers who bought
sparingly only what they could sell from week
to week and passed their sugar out to customers
at little above cost, are not in that plight and
did not deserve to be. It is the hoarders who
aimed to squeeze the public who are hard hit
and will get no sympathy from any side. They
have made frantic appeals to the federal de-
partment of justice to help them out, but not
even Attorney General Palmer seems disposed
to do this, sees any practical way OF doing It.
The economic mills of the gods grind slowly
and many spectators often get out unpulver-
lied from between the stones. But now and
then it happens that the grist is all that could
be wished and the profteers are powdered to
Ifneness which meets the unqualified approval
!of the rest of mankind.

POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

1t is regrettable that the heretofore generous
public of Keokuk did not lend paying support
to the picnic and entertainment that was ar
ranged for last Thursday at Bluff Park by heo-
kuk post, No Al, OF the American Legion. The
excuse offered for the miserably small at
tendance-other amusement attractlonsils
poor one and a reflection on the patriotism OF
our people. The cause in which the picnic en-
gagged was to add money to the fund being rsls-
ed for the erection of permanent home Tor
needy or manned American soldiers who fought
in the world war, and this should have given
emphasis to any urge of generosity on the part
of those who remained at home and especially
should have been responded to by men who were
more or less enriched by the operation OF finan
cial conditions arising from wartime trade
Keokuk has received a poor advertisement IN
this case
