THE OLD OAKEN ADVERTISER.
How dear to our hearts is the old
advertiser.
Who runs his stuff fifty-two weeks in
the year,
lie turns up on Monday with good
snappy copy
And drives out the blues with his
laughter and cheer,
lie never says, "Kill it," "The people
won't read it,'
"It don't do no jrood" nor "I can't
stand the pace."
IJut comes to the front (with his
check) like a major.
And sometimes says, "Bill, better
double that space."
Oh, the old advertiser.
The good advertiser,

We would follow the government's
advice and buy a sheep instead of a

not perfectly sure that when the

they always have borrowed the lawn-
mower the day we sharpened it.

Polities always Mas noted for
strange bed fellow. Now it is the
professional politician who would
like to become bedfellows of the far
mers league, or union, whichever it
is, but it was ever thus, with the
professional office seeker, and if the
new organization is wise they will
steer clear of all such fellows.

General Pershing's recent , order
for white mice, to be used for de
tection of poison gas in the trendies,
practically exhausted the supply in
America. Dispatches earlier in the
war, however, related that cats were

first whiff of gas, pusyy ruffles up her
tail and hikes b;yfk to safety. More
over, a shortage in cats would be one
i f the easiest war burdens, this de

VOTING AS TKEY SHOOT.
What the loyal voters of the
Sighth senatorial district of Wiscon
eoii have done is worthy of emulation
wherever in this country pacifism,
Germanism and Prussianized social
ism are strong enough to be a men
ace. When war was declared last
spring the socialist representing this
district, which is in Milwaukee, made
speeches so offensive that he was ex
pelled, only three members of the
state senate opposing the action. For
the election of his successor the re
publicans and democrats
combined
upon the republican candidate, avIio, I territory at Germany's expense,
making his appeal wholly in sup- j though neither is true; but it is not

enemy at home or abroad, democrats
and republicans are under the high
est obligations to vote as they shoot
side by side.
:o:
NOT CONVINCING.
The Reed-Lodge committee is go
ing to have a hard time convincing
the public that it is engaged in a
patriotic work when it tries to dis
credit the Hoover Food Administra
tion. The American people will re
gard with favor any congressional
investigation such as that by the
committee on military affairs that
is plainly directed toward increasing
tiie efficiency of any government
agency to which they must look for
the winning of the war.
Hut the Reed-Lodge investigation
exhibits no evidence of such a pur
pose. Mr. Reed has shown a per
sonal animus toward the food ad
ministrator from the start, and it
has destroyed public confidence in
his motives. Mr. Lodge seems not
to be quite abreast of the times. He
can be acquitted of personal feeling
in the matter, but he is against the
whole program of governmental con
trol of food and the fixing cf prices.
It goes against his New England
conservatism.
The public is not interested in
either view. It has accepted the
Food Administration as part of the
war program, and it has seen enough
good results from it to be convinced
that it is performing the desired
function. Perhaps it does not work
perfectly. Xone of our war agencies
has so far. Rut it has done as much
as any one thing and perhaps more
to bring the American people to
recognize their individual part in the
war and to enlist every household in
supnort of it. We think that was a
mighty important work and we be
lieve its success was largely due to
the personal abilities and human
qualities of Mr. Hoover.
Price fixing has its difficulties, and
if anybody wants to stir up friction
over it, it is usually easy to find
some interests that believe they have
suffered from it, and the trouble
maker can pose as their friend and
advocate. So far as sugar Is con
cerned and the committee has fix
ed its attention on that for the mo
ment Mr. Hoover has made clear
the reasons for the shortage, which
is temporary, and the wisdom of his
sction. Without government inter
ference the price probably would
have been double what it is now.
The conviction will be strong that J
unless Mr. Reed and Mr. Lodge can
justify their course more than they
have done up to this time, they not
only will not "get" Mr. Hoover, but
they will leave themselves open to
an investigating body that can some
times be severe and that is the in
vestigation of public opinion. K. C.

We should try not to expect too
much from the government's rail
way rights at the start. For our
part, we shall be delighted it the
station agents become even as po-
lite as postmasters.

AN INSTRUCTIVE
TALE OF THE SEA
In businesslike detail the navy de
partment tells the story of how, on
Nov. 25, in the war zone across sea.
the destroyers Fanning and Nichol
son sank a German submarine and
made prisoners of the crew. Tjy way
of contrast, we should he interested
to read the same story as it might be
embroidered by a master of sea
tales, such as Joseph Conrad. The
mind of every imaginative reader
will find between the lines from
Washington the unwritten things
that would spell opportunity to the
romancist.
The undersea boat is out on its
errand cf barbarity. It is detected
by sharp eyes and its destruction is
wrought by good shooting. In place
of barbarism then appears humanity,
two of the Fanning's crews leaping
overboard to rescue a foeman ex
hausted by swimming and cold. A
few moments of strenuous work and
the lately ruthless submariners are
drinking hot coffee on board the
American boat. Presently, captive
but happy, they are singing the
sings they know best.
Here are a beginning in German
frightf ulness and a finish in Ger
man song, with examples in Ameri
can gunnery, American heroism and
American chivalry sandwiched be
tween. Many fantastic tales ot the
war have been written. Many will
escape writing. There can be few
to match this official yarn in its ex
hibit of varied motives, methods and
impulses, in its showing of abrupt
human ch'a-wges and in its revelation
of how the spirit of the chase can
differ among chasers. New York

REED AND LA FOLLETTE.
Ohio apologizes to Missouri. Mis
souri owes an apology Vj the Fnited
States. It was from Ohio that James
A. Reed went to Missouri, by way of
Iowa. Rut it was frr.m Mi: -r,un that
he went to the United Rtatis Senate.
It has been Missouri's misfortune
to be represented in the upper
branch of Congress since the war be
gan by men out of touch with Amer
ican sentiment and out of harmony
with the deep seated instinct of the
American people to defend their na
tional honor when assailed, whoever
the aggressor he. William Joel
Stone was one of the "kaiser's doz
en," of noisome memory. James A.
Reed chooses to make himself thor
oughly obnoxious. The charitable
view is that Missouri is no longer
represented in the Senate of the
United States.
The actions of the Missouri sena
tor in the food invest igal ion are a
reflection upon the Senate. They
have undermined public confidence
in the purpose of the inquiry, lie
makes it appear t hat food control is
under investigation not to assist the
government, but to "get" the man
whom the President mad" chief ad-
miniatrntor.
There has been a
j widespread demand over the country
VOMITS rA
for the expulsion of La Follette from
the Senate. As a traveling com
panion for the Wisconsin man, with
a one-way ticket home from Wash
ington, Reed would be an ideal se
lection. Cleveland Plaiu Dealer.
-:o:-
COUNTRY AND CITY WOMEN.
A woman writing from out In the
state says that she has kept house
for thirty years and for the last five
years the family has numbered never
less than ten, and for portions of the
year, sixteen persons. Iu all that
time there has never been a short
age in any essentia! article of food
and her deliveries have been only
once a week and sometimes once in
two weeks. She has often had com
pany wholly unexpected, but she al
ways found something for them to
e-it. She expresses the greatest as
tonishment about t lie talk in t lie pa
pers concerning "only one delivery a
day," and "wonders what kind of
i women live in the city. She says
that "no woman is fit to keep house
who wants more than one delivery a
week except for milk and bread,
where they do not do their own bak
ing. She further declares that
"any woman who does not have
brains enough to figure out and write
down what she wants for one day
should be sent back to a boarding
school until her intellect, is develop
ed enough to run a hous."
There are some things that thi?.
indignant protector does not take
into account. Ten to one when she
has had unexpcted company she has
run out to the barn, caught a chick
en and gathered a lot of eggs. Then
again she likely has a big barrel of
pork downstairs where she can get
meat and a can of load in store since
hog killing time. More than likely
she has a lot of dried beef stored
away, besides cans of fruit she pur
up during the season. Now the city
woman has few of these advantages.
Many of them have no place to store
anything. So the country woman's
idea about one delivery a week is all
out of order. But the other sugges
tion that the housewife should be
able to write down all that she needs
for one day and get that at one de
livery, stands good, and the chair
holds the point well taken. World

TELLS OF CAMP PIKE, ARK.
From Friday's Dai1. v.
Kohert Will of this city, went with
the hoys on Septemher -1 Sth to Camp

time and ashed for a transfer to
Camp Pike to enter the Artillery di
vision, as a truck driver, was with
Fred Kutherford. and Fred Newman,
transfered and placed iu the artil
lery department there. As they do
not have trucks at Camp Tike the
hoys have to drill with horses, and

cook and is said to be a tiv.e one liv his
comrades, who know good cook in??;

Mr. Will and Mr. Newman are
with the arti'lery, and have one

two hundred men to care for, hesides
their drilling wTikh hegans at a little

until after four in the afternoon, and
consists of athletics drill, horseback

that scarcely any ice forms, but this
