sent those firms in the United States.
One German is said to have remarked
that ut is hard to believe that Amer
lea would put premium upon
mans treachery towards his country"
Admitting, merely for the sake of
argument, how difficult it would be
for the German to see anything from
Americas point of view, there is the
other aspect to be considered.
How about the German firms who
are in search of "slackers"-"tfait-
ors to their country''-to aid them in
their business?
Were the case to be turned around
and had Germany been victorious.
would it be possible to conceive OF
any American firm looking out for
men who had evaded the draft here,
with absolutely no. excuse in order
that those slackers might go to VIC
torious Germany and boast that they
had taken no part in fighting the
armies of that country? This, provid-
ed we had any firms left in such
an awful case.
And if a firm in this country did
seek such men would not their busi-
ness, past and present be investigated
to the fullest extent to find out wheth-
err or not that firm had aided the en-
envy while the war was in progress?
Would any reputable American firm
have any dealing with any other firm
which made a point of putting pre-
MUM" on treachery to this coun-
try.
The words of the German mean lit
tIe The actions Of the Germans
mean everything. If they are seek
ing "slackers'' in their own country
to aid in establishing trade relations
with firms in this country they are
condemned out of their own mouths.

PUSH AND PULL

PUSH AND PULL
Push and Pull are brothers twain
That ever you will meet
The one lives down in Hard Work
And one on East Street.
And one of Easy Street.
Push and Pull are each a force
With measure flowing full;
But Pull is like a blooded horse
And Push is like a bull.
Pull has ways of getting things
That Push knows nought about;
For Pull is ever working strings
He's quite clever scout.
Push is pleased to plug away
With what he has to do,
While Pull is scheming all the day 4
With many ends in view.
Pull perambulates in. front
While Push is in the rear;
And folks are ever or the hunt
For Pull-to get his ear.
Push and Pull own all the stores
Dame Fortune cares to bless.
Their names are carved upon the
doors
That open to Success.

LOST-ONE FIRE

The fire department made run
early Friday afternoon to the corner
of Myrtle st. and North Vermont Ave.
where a phone call had informed
them there was a fire in the kitchen
of the old Hutchingson home. After
arriving on the scene the department
could not locate the fire or any one
who had seen fire. and the call was
likely the work of someone's over
developed sense of humor.
