THE
CHERRY TREE
Where with eur Little Hatchet We tell
the truth about many things, Sometimes
profoundly, sometimes Aippantly, some
times rscklessly.

Now that the election is over more
and more attention will go to the over
all question of what will people buy
when there are things to buy and how
fast will factories begin making these
things.
There shouldn't be lot of pressure
to get out of making war tools. The
public should not clamor for civilian
commodities as long as there is the
slightest need for the making of i'm
plements of war.
But people do not do always as they
should do; nor can one very we'll set
himself up in Judgment over another.
People do want new things and they
will buy them as soon as things are
there to buy. They will, moreover.
urge that things to buy be made as
soon as possible.
Manufacturers, too, urge hasty re-
conversion so that they may get back
into the field of private business
quickly and start before competitors
grab too much.
1t must be obvious that some re-
conversion has taken place. More is
in process.
But it is surely to be hoped that we
do not too quickly cease making the
tools of war, because no war is over
until the enemy stops fighting.
Today the average family has more
money than ever to spend-and great
stored-up appetite for buying. Almost
anything will sell today.
Families will go first for refrigera-
tors, ranges, electric irons-and cars
as soon as they are to be had.
The pent-up wish for homes is
enormous and there, too, the money
will flow as soon as materials and
men are available.
But there are some things about
which buyers ought to go slow, if they
can. Refrigerators built year later
will be better. Ditto with ranges. And
homes designed a year later will be
better and different. About such
things wait, if you can.
In these months that have passed
we have heard much about jobs-the
'ifs" about jobs.
There will be jobs. But there NAV
be lot of relocation of workers.
Many war industries will demobilize
all or in part, or their work forces.
Men and women will move. But they
will move to jobs.
Never has there been such back
log Of money in the pockets of the
average American.
This is money that will go headlone
into the market to buy and that car
tide over and pay fare to the old home
town, or some other town.
More ready money is stacked up il
the loans that will be available to dis.
charged service men-loans for farms
and for homes and for businesses.
Taken all together, there is an en-
ormous amount of money to pour bacl
into circulation.

pie, displaying such heroic virtues and
unshakable fortitude under such de-
vastating circumstances, cannot be de-
stroyed-even by those master de-
stroyers of the human race, the Ger
mans. Their dikes may be pierced and
their factories demolished; their ma
chinery carried away and broad acres
of their once fertile soil rendered
sterile for years to come, but they will
be as strong and brave in rebuilding
their country and it's prosperity as
they are now, in these days Of ready
visitation.
That great task of reconstruction,
perhaps from the very bottom up
wards, must sooner or later begin.
When they set to that task, the Dutch,
knowing that their future life de-
pends upon its accomplishments, will
put all their strength and energy, all
their courage and patience in it. They
will need no pity; the one thing they
will then be in need of, is tools.
Give them the tools, and they will
do the job. The earlier they get them,
the better they will do it. They will
need the tools of machinery and the
tools with which to rescue their dying
acres.
And they will need the tools with
which to revitalize their perishing
bodies, the indispensable tools of
nourishment and health. For though
their spirits be strong and undaunted,
their bodies are undermined by hun
ger, want and cold, and may well be-
come exhausted.
Their deliverance may be a matter
OF another few weeks; it may, on the
other hand, be matter of many win
ter months which count double for
deadly want and privation. When it
comes, may the tools come in it's
wake: the tools of labor and the tools
with which to rebuild bodily strength
and health.-B.

that "a careful analysis would show
that many of them were the direct re-
suit of actions by the employing COM
panies."

Coolidge Nine Show,

Dewitt in Opener

Dark-horse Coolidge is throwing
off the wraps and likely will be one
of the favorites in the high school
baseball championship series begin

pace set yesterday when 1t opened
the local schoolboy diamond season
by blasting out 1870 victory over

Not the least promising item on
the Colt nire is its pitching. Buck
Henry, veteran from last year, and
Tex Jones, a newcomer, combined
for a no-hit, no-run stint on the
Coolidge mound. Henry worked
four innings and Jones the re-
mainder Of the seven-inning tilt.
The catching problem at Coolidge
appears solved by the play of Jim
Comfort. Sent behind the plate yes
terday, the 6-foot-2 younester
turned in a creditable backstoppinp
job and helped the hitting attack
with a long triple.
A number of Dewitt errors helped
the Colts manufacture 10 runs with
their IL hits, most of them coming
in the second inning when seven
Coolidge runners crossed the plate
In addition to Comfort, Dave
Moran, Paul Sickle and Sam Bas-
singer did well with the stick for
Coondge, each getting two hits.

BY the Associated Press.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, April Al
Unser lays claim to the title of base
balls No. l handy man and is ready
to prove it with the Detroit Tigers
this season.
The 28-year-old jack of l-trades
has lush minor league career be-
hind him, during which he played
for IS clubs in II seasons. At one
time or other he saw action in every
position on the diamond.
He even has filled the part of
manager, plotting the Gastonia IN

championship in 1899 and taking
charge of Winston Salem, N. c., OF
the Piedmont loop in 1912.
In All Positions Same Day.
In five different games during his
stretch in the minors, he played
each position of the field, taking a
new station every inning. The
Tigers, who used Unser in SO games
last season after recalling him from
Buffalo, N. Y, figure he will be
especially valuable when they start
patching the holes in their lineup
resulting from injuries or depar-
lures to the service.

chances of playing much ball in the
