French Courtesy

In one of the smaller cities in Cen
trail France used by division head
quarters during the winter of 1918
1919, Alphonse, the barber, endeav-
ored to learn to speak English. Tc
this end he was diligently coached
by numerous Yank dispatch-bearers
sergeant-majors and clerical work
ers, and Alphonse learned fast.
No less parsonage than the com.
manding general of the division

and demanded shave in a hurry
Alphonse, who was tending "a lowIy
enlisted customer, knew rank wher
he saw it and rose to the occasion.
"Saitainlee, mon general" he re.
piled, bowing with the French petite
ness. "Seet down, mon general, an
you be mex, you beeg steef."
The general waited.

Killing Time

There used to be many people,
who as the phrase went were try
ing to "kill time" Society folks,
young people enjoying vacations, and
other leisure classes, had lot
of spare time they did not know
what to do with. Many of them
were bored with life, and used to
work hard finding amusement to fill
up their dreary hours.
The time killers in these days
seem to have disappeared. Multitudes
of women who used to keep servants
now do their own housewprk. Young
people who used to spend their sum-
mers lolling around in outing clothes,
are now working on farms and in
banks and Offices.
People who have to "kill time
suffer mental and moral decay. 1t
is the busiest folks who find time
to do the most for the community.
The war has brought many troubles,
but it has made our people pur-
poseful and achieving.

The Dress Suit

Before the war there was general
tendency to ape the manners and
customs of smart society. Hard
working people felt they had to rig
themselves up in all the togs that
would be worn by the high fiers of
New York and Chicago.
At that time the masculine Gus
tom of wearing the so called "dress
suit" had spread from the cities out
into many remote districts. Many
small town people felt they could
not respectfully attend dance or
a party unless they rugged them
selves out in Fifth Avenue peacock
feathers. The war has simplified our
ideas. More men are asking why
clean and we'll pressed clothes of ev-
cry day pattern are not good
enough for any social occasion. The
idea that a man must decorate him.
self with stiff and starched clothes
of formal cut is relic of the time
knee breeches, ruffled shirts, and
powdered wigs. The standard "dress
suits" may yet go to the museums
that reflect the modes of antiquity.

Remarkable And she Retains
High Notes And Juggles

Thrills.

The following is an extract taken
from the Des Moines Register Of
Tuesday morning, June 10th, report
ing Madam Yaw's appearances be-
fore the big Shrine Conclave.
with group of old favorites in
addition to her famous Skylark song,
Madame Ellen Beach Yaw led her
audience at the Arabia Way yester-
day afternoon to forgetfulness of the
glaring sunlight, the 80 degree heat,
and even the ardor of their spirit Of
revelry.
She sang Dixie, "Carry Me Back
TO Old virginny" and "The Last Rose
of Summer" and the audience riot
ously applauded. The bell song from
'Lakme" by Delibes, and the Laugh
ing Song by. Auber were sung, but
last of all, of course, was the song
for which she is famed-"The Sky
lark. Miss Lenore Nudge played
her accompaniments.
Although many crowded close
about the stand where she stood, in
order to hear her, it was not nee
essary to be near for her clear
lyric tones reached the farthest
corners Of the grandstand. The
Skylark number, her own compost
ton. proved all that it had been
heralded, showing to best advantage
the unusual range o. her voice.
! Her voice is as sweet as it is
remarkable, and the ease with which
she retains the high notes and
juggles them in birdlike thrills is per-
'haps the greatest of her accomplish
mehts. Af5
Madam Yaw instantly won. her
audience by the smiling friendfness
with which she greeted them. Clad
in cool black and white, relieved by
huge bunch of pink roses which
presented the Shriners' compliments,
she made an audience with the in
formality proper for Shriner week
and they cheered her extravagantly

Humanity's Silly Burden

You know that war costs like the
dickens, but do you realize how much
it costs? Well, out of every dollar
of Uncle Sans income last year, SO
cents went to pay obligations arising
from recent and previous wars and
for current expenditures for the
army and navy!
Because of wars, our government
is costing fourteen times more than
it ought to!
In ten years time the money spent
for past and future wars in the
United States would build $4,000
home for every family in America!
Yet, we break the heart of the
first man in history who proposed to
end wars forever, and we applaud
the man who says we are going to
have the best damned navy in the
world!

Biggest Even Seen Here
Barns and Stalls all \
Spoken For.

The management Of the Winnie
sheik County Fair has been very
active this year with regard to the
Fair to be held August 8, 10, IL, IL.
There has been greater inquiry for
hog pens, cattle stalls, and horse
stalls by exhibitors than ever before
known, and the barns are all ready
completely taken. Future entries
will have to be cared for in impro-
yised buildings. II insures a big
stock exhibit. They have secured
for free attractions the biggest and
best acts on the road, and our peo-
pie can feel assured that the coming
Fair will equal or surpass any that
have ever been held here. A couple
of long needed Improvements on the
grounds that have just been COM
pleted are sanitary toilets for both
ladies and gentlemen. These are
on the west side of the grounds and
connect direct with the city sewer.
Competent attendants will be in
charge of each. The expense of
installation has been over $1,000, but
the Fair management felt that toilet
facilities on the grounds were so
meagre that this must be done this
year. The old wooden fence on the
inside of the race track in front
of the grandstand has been replaced
with 5-foot woven wire fence,
specially designed for Fair grounds,
with steel posts set in concrete. This
has been done to prevent accidents.
At the finish Of heat great many
people are apt to lean against the
fence and if it should happen to
break at the time the horses were
passing, serious accidents might oc-
cur. This new fence will prevent all
of this besides being highly orna-
mental. Most of the barns have
been repainted, and the grounds pre-
sent very spick and span appear
ance. The officers have about con-
cluded their amusement program and
it will be one of the best. There
will be base ball, horse races, balloon
ascensions with parachute drops,
vaudeville acts galore, plenty of
shows on the Midway, and all that
is needed to make it big success is
good weather.

Big Line of Attractions, Base Ball
Bowery Dancing. Fireworks,
And Picnic Dinner at
Twelve O'clock.

The glorious Fourth falls on Mon
day this year, and our sister town
of Spillville is going to celebrate
the day in grand style. The cele-
bration will be upder the auspices
and management of the Civic and
Improvement Association and will be

best programs ever put on in the
county and are going to give the
visitors plenty of high class amuse-
ment all day and evening. The pro-
gram will open at ten o'clock in the
morning with monster civic and
patriotic parade, led by the Ossian
Cornet Band. At eleven o'clock pa
triotic exercises will be held in the
Park, and the orator Of the day will
be Mayor F. w. Conover, of Decorah,
and it goes without saying that the
people will hear an address worth
while, as Mayor Conover's reputa-
ton as an orator is we'll established.
At twelve o'clock the ladies of
Spillville will serve tempting and
delicious dinner under the shady
oaks.
The afternoon will be taken up
with big program of sports and
among them will be base ball game
between the ossian Legion and Spill
vile teams, and 1t will be red hot
game too. Besides the ball game

A fine new dance pavilion has
been erected, with floor space of
5000 feet, where dancing will take
place afternoon and evening.
In the evening brilliant display
of fireworks will be shown.
With the above excellent program
outlined it shouldn't be hard for
one. to decide where TO spend the
Fourth. The good people of Spill
vile always do things up in high
class manner. They have been work.
ing a long time on the program for
the Fourth and are going TO make it
the biggest and best celebration in
Iowa. With good weather and good
roads SpiIlville should be and will be
prepared to entertain the largest
crowd in its history. It's picture

able, and everybody will be entertain
ed to the limit, and will go home
feeling that life's worth living after

THE FARMERS SIDE

Wallaces' Farmer: 1t is refreshing
to note the reinforcements which are
appearing for agriculture. In almost
every speech the president makes he
insists that the farmer must have re-
lief. At New York recently he said:
We must put our own house in ord
er, and no more important feature of
that effort can be visioned than to
place our agricultural industry on a
sound basis and provide machinery
and facilities for fnapcing and dis
tributing crops. If we do this, we
will merely be providing the farmer
with facilities similar to those enjoy
ed by the business community gener-
ally. The farmer is entitled to all the
government can give him without
injustice to others. Agriculture has
been. laboring under several handi-
caps and is entitled to have facilities
placed at it's disposal which will re-
move these.
And Secretary of Labor Davis, in
every speech he makes points out the
unfairly low prices the farmer is re-
ceiv;ng compared with what he must
pay for what he buys, and insists
that such a condition can not con-
tinue without reacting on the labor
ing man and everyone else. Both the
president and Secretary Davis are
presenting the farmers situation be-
fore people who have not heretofore
heard of it, and are doing an i'm
mense amount Of good.
