Doggerel. Washington—In the midst of war's vicissitudes and alarms two government officials found time for thought in lighter vein. Passing from consideration of leg- islative problems, Senator Knox of Pennsylvania sent his compliments to Secretary Houston of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, congratulating him on the food canning” campaign the department is conducting and ad- ding that he was reminded of this bit of doggerel persiflage: “A canner exceedingly canny, one morning. exclaimed to his granny: ‘A canner can can everything that he can, but a canner cannot can 3 can, can he?’ ” The Secretary of Agriculture, not to be shown up, turned from his ard- uous duties to remind Senator Knox of this gem from the storehouse of memory: } “If a woodchuck would chuck all the wood he could chuck, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?” Both the Senator and Cabinet of- ficial are back at work.—New York Tribune. MISS RANKIN MEETS INJURY Electric Fan Badly Bruises the Con- gresswoman’s Fingers. Ran- Washington—Miss Jeanette ‘| kin, the Lady from Montana and the first woman ~‘congresswoman” is nursing a set of badly bruised f:n- gers as the result of a misadventure with an electric fan in a hotel at Frederick, Md.

Miss Rankin later denied that she had lost her finger tips, but confessed that they were very sore. Older members of Congress, who have had similar accidents with po- litical buzz saws, express the hope that the “congresswoman” has learned a lesson.—New York Ev«"t- ing Sun. Bryan Scores Anti-U. S. Talk. Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 18@-No sym- pathy shouuld be wasted on those ar- rested for unpatriotic utterances, W. J. Bryan déclared in a signed editor- ial in ‘today’s issue of his paper, the Commoner. Resitsance to the Draft Law was branded as anarchy. “Before our Nation enters a war it is perfectly proper. to discuss the wisdom of going to war, but the dis- cussion is closed when Congress acts,” the editorial said. “We must stand together and fight it through. There are only two sides to a war— ¥ |every American must be on the side of the United States.” Picketing Must Cease.

MASONS TO FIGHT SALOON .Drastic Amendment May Be Adopted at St. Louis. Any Mason in Missouri who signs a petition for a saloon license will ‘be expelled from that order if an amendment to the constitution of the order is passed by the grand lodge, He meets in St, Louis, September I The proposed amendment was in- troduced at the meeting of the grand lodge last year and action deferred, It has been discussed in,all of the local lodges of Missouri and dele- gates have been ‘instructed how to vote or have gained an idea of the feeling of their lodges. Members of the order are now prohibited from engaging in the liquor business and persons engaged in ‘that business are not received to membership. The new amendment provides that any person who rec-, omménds such a person for member- ship and any lodge receiving such a person may be punished and such a person be expelled from member- ship. The clause, however, which: is causing discussion is one which pro- vides: “Nor shall any Freemason recommend or sign any petition or application for a dramshop license.” Every U. S. Soldier to Get Christmas Box This Year. Washington, D.”C., Aug. 18.—Ev- ery American soldier and sailor, whether at the battle front in France or in training camp at home, ships at sea, or stationed ashore, is to have a Christmas remembrance “from home.” Red Cross officials have just completed plans for the Christmas cheer and arrangements will be worked out immediately. Red Cross chapters nearest the 32 army camps and cantonments will probably arrange in their towns com- munity Christmas trees, with carols, pageants and holiday movies, to which the 600,000 men in training will be invited. For the men in France the Red Cross will see that every soldier has his Christmas package with its mes- sage of good will. There will be surprises in every package, but all are likely to contain writing paper, pipes, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes and other articles. G. A. R. Officers Elected. The following G. A.

W. who was handing out a pamphlet labeled “Sabotage,” that the members would raid the of- fice and seize a satchel filled with the literature taken from Gibson. Gibson made an address, in which he said that Frank Little’s death at Butte by lynching should be avenged. The result was that Chief of Police Burch put a guard at the court house and issued an order that any I. W. W. found’ on the streets would be assisted out of town. Sold Old Horses to the British. An English newspaper has discov- ered that the “Thrifty American far- mer”-has played a mean trick on the officers sent from that country to buy horses for army service. It says that many of the horses bought in this country wefe more than 20 years old and ready to die by the time they were received in England. As the life of a horse in the present wat only ayerages a few days, what difference does it make if they are old? The English are great believers in conservation, at least they are for the other fellow, so why not use up the old horses in the war and keep the young, good ones at home to help in the raising of wheat and corn for the ones at the front. ‘Two Generals Held Up.
