You see sev- eral things have occurred lately to sorter-upset the kaiser—first of all and (worst of all) he has found that we on this side of the briny wasn't bluffin—our men are there and arc workin’ on the Huns proper. Then his father (the devil) wrote him a letter recently telling him of some of his cussedness and Bill is so nervous and “scared” that he is livin’ in a concrete dugout 169 feet deep. He won't come out for his meals, so they squirt soup (bean soup) down to him through a pipe. He hasn’t taken a bath or drawn a long breath.since the Sammies arrived. Not long since I was approached by a sad faced individual who said to me, “which would you rather do, go to bed at 8 and get up at § or—” “Now stop right there,” says I, “I don’t know: who you are, nor what your past life or -previous conditions of servitude has been—you look ‘hon- est, but you are treading on danger- ous ground. I have jined the Red Cross, I am a conservationist, I only eat meat on legal holidays—or when company comes, we have wheatless, eatless, meatless and restless days— in fact I obey all the laws, I even help buy cigarettes for the soldiers, but I'll be darned if any galoot ‘shall tell me when I shall go to bed or get out. That's one privilege I'l fight for. Because it’s only when I sleep that I can forget how hungry I am.” He said, “I thank you, friend, I’m much obliged.” O yes, we signed conservation cards. Just a matter of form. Ne- cessity and the preservation of life compels us to be careful. Waste?

L, Keen, and Mr. and Mrs. John’ McCook; Nina Keen, Gladys Radford, Merl Mood and Ione and Loretta McCook; Messrs. Elmer Keen, Herschall Radford and Cecil Keen and Mr: and Mrs. A. T. Keen. They all departed for their homes wishing Mr. Keen many more happy birthdays. When I hear anybody say, -“don't worry,” I just have one thing to say and say it. It's this, the people who don’t worry ain't got brains enough to appreciate a proposition of any kind. They are mental derelicts and should be interned. —. I am informed that 750,000 cars will be needed to move this year’s pota- to crop to market. A car will hold 7 or 8 hundred bushels—figure it up and see if you think we can have spuds on the table once a day. ; Pumpkin pie time, yes, but be gogh, ‘whars’ the milk, sugar and eggs comin’ from? Plenty of pumpkins but the balance of the fixin’s are scarce. Too bad by jing—I do like pumpkin pie and mustard greens. There are 1364 German prisoners of war in this country actual prison- ers and there are about 400 interned alien enemies, So far -so good, but at that, I think there are quite a lot of aliens runnin’ around loose yet and they ain't all of them Germans, either, The high cost of baker’s bread “is workin’ a hardship in a good many homes, How so?

T'other day I read an article in’ a paper entitled “What the Kaiser Stands to Lose.” Quite an articlé, too. Gave a list of things Bill will lose. But it didn’t mention one little bit of personal adornment that Bill will lose if a Sammee gets to him, and that’s his scalp. You see I've béen runnin’ a buck saw quite some this fall. One day a man stopped and asked me if I could tell him the difference between a buck sawer and a soldier. I said, “no, sir. I never was a soldier. But I can tell you all that is demanded or expected of the man with the saw.” “And what is that,” says he. *Just a strong back and a weak mind,” said I, and kep¢ on sawin’ wood. : 4 O, give me a home where the buf- falo roam, where the deer and the antelope play; or give me a home where the waves break and foam, and I will be happy alway.

Maj. Gen. Frederick B. Maurice, chief director of military operations at the British War Office, in his weekly talk with the Associated Press last week said: “The Italian situation is serious, but a considerable part of the alarm- ist talk which has been circulating is untrue, The report that von Mack- ensen made the attack with an over- whelming force of 300,000 men is a fabrication. The enemy forces were commanded by von Buelow, riot by von Mackensen. . “Moreover, the attack was no sur- price to Gen. Cadorna, who knew it was coming so far in advance that he issued a sogymunique warning the troops about it. : “Tt is not necessary to say much here as to the cause of the Italian failure, except to note that the Gere mans accomplished at least some- thing through insidious propaganda among the Italian troops. “Withdrawal of the Italians from the Tagliamento line necd cause no discouragement because, this was part of Cardona’s scheme from the moment of the first falling back. “Developments now depend large- ly on the time. in which Allied re-en- forcements reach the line in ade-| quate numbers.” Referring to the German claims of an ‘enormous bag of prisoners, Gen. Maurice expressed the opinion that these were largely overdrawn, say- ing: “The Germans naturally make the best possible story, and it is likely they have ‘counted all the civilians in the total of prisoners they an- nounced.” U,. 8, Reconstruc- \ tion ‘Hospital.

They informed Fuel Administrator Wallace Crossley that an erroneous impression had gone forth that the railroads were hoarding coal for their own consumption. J. C. McGrew, of Lexington, Mo., and Willism .Walton of Higbee, Mo., mine operators, ‘stated their mines had not been operated to full capac- ity on account of the inability to se-| cure miners, In their opinion, the} higher price paid the miners in Southern “Illinois was an_ incentive for Missouri miners to leave this State. ‘ The fuel experts for the railroads stated their companies had coal sup- plies to last not longer than a week. This statement applied to all of the roads, with the exception of the Wa- bash, which “has 36,625, tons of coal at Moberly. It. was explained: that there had been an ‘embargo against shipping coal from Chicago to the} of its usual supply from that State, carried an extra supply of coal into Missouri, so as to be able_to_ship ifto its Eastern division’in case of an urgent necessity. Fuel Administrator Crossley ,, felt much gratified at the hearty ce-oper- ation of the railroads. He said he called this conference in the inter- ests of the small consumer as well as the large industrial users of fuel. He impressed the railroad men of the need of supplying coal consumers in the smaller towns which are remote from the railroad centers. 1. W. W.
