THE THREE Raymond Fosdick, Chainn&n of the Conim'sslon on Train'ii' Camp Activities, who has just come back from France, brings this story with him : At a Y. M. C. A. hut, in a rest billet, the secretary was showing a crowded house, composed of several hundred doughboys, the usual run of movies, interspersed with talks and songs. The thought came to the hutraan that perhaps he could learn from his patrons instead of teaching them. So, on the impulse, which proved an inspiration, he passed out slips containing the question as to what the men regarded as the worst three sins. ' . " Aa the returns came in the Y. M. C. A. man found himself won dering what the answers would be. Naturally he expected that early religious training would make the position of murder rather prominent in the list. But it wasn't Instead, there was unanimity as to the first and worst sin. That was put down as cowardice. The second and here the vote fell just short of being unanimous again was selfishness. The third highest vote was cast for bigheadedness, with scat tering support for thievery, lying and other vices. Austria-Hungary is now hungry Austria. If they had to do it over -again they would not only hesitate, but refuse to assist the Kaiser in taking his chestnuts out of the fire.. Vale Lenlne and Trotsky. The Bolschevikl have shot their lolt. ',, ; " Lenlne and Trotsky are. going the way of all traitors. Premier Lloyd George la more than satisfied at the way America Is pouring soldiers into France, but the kaiser Isn't. It seems impossi ble to please that kaiser man. Lenlne and Trotsky no .doubt heard the Japs were on their way. The Japs do not announce, their do lnggs In advance. They do things and let others tell about It afterwards. The French -chamber of deput es has adopted a vote of confidence in the government headed by Premier Clemenceau? Why not? The allies have the greatest confidence in France. . r Foch Is not through. He may or may not be through at the points where things have been hottest of late. He is the best. Judge in the world of where and when, to strike, and how. Why cultivate the spirit of gloom? Whom does It profit? There is a need of cheerfulness. While griev ing for our sons who have gone over there, let us thank God that we have such sons. They ire conserving that extra hour . of daylight along the western front by hammering the hosts of Huns hurrying hot-foot and helter skelter and "hell-bent for election" towards their holes in the hinterland beyond the Rhine. How Is that for high? The Republicans of Arkansas have abandoned politics and will have no ticket in the field this fall. They are of the opinion that politics Is adjourned. , It is understood that the Democrats of Pennsylvania are of a similar mind. Exchange. And the Dutch still have Holland. Frauds against the government In the furnishing of raincoats are al leged and a number of arrests have been v made. The dealer who would rob the soldiers and the nation in this war is deserving of more pun ishment than a civilized nation dares inflict. A DESCENDANT OF ABE.

It Js suggested that those who at tend and crowd up close around the band stand while the mu sic is being presented, should speak the deaf and dumb alphabet, when ever they are obliged to talk, or write it out on a slate, or use the In dian sign language, or else say it all with their eyes and not with their noisy tongues that so annoy the per formers who are giving their best services, and the apreciative aud ience that wants to enjoy it and not the personal gossip of careless visi tors. The annoyance has been so marked during some of the previous song numbers, that there is little satisfaction to either the singers or 'he audience when the gosjsipers start he'r mills going. The band is being highly compli mented for its uniformly good pro grams, and the large audiences are 'n the main greatly apreciative. 5 CENTS PER POUND PAID BERRY PICKERS (Continued from page 1). their wants wth the bureau; and so in this section where farming is the major business operation, there isn't a single posted demand for a day's help.

' BITS FOR BREAKFAST Lull along battle fronts. S But more towns were taken. Germany, the International skunk. She Is willing to try anything that will make her name stink more in the nostrils of the world. Now It is a new kind of Chinese stink-pot with poison gas on her sub marines. 1 She tried it on a light house on the coast of North Carolina yesterday. The Huns are still counter attack ing the Americans and French across the Vesle. They will get the Sammy boys up there peeved pretty soon, and then they will take off their rnatx and lick the tar out of the Hun outfit that is disturbing their rest. The Germans just cannot get the Zeppelin Idea out of their stubborn heads. So they srend their resourc es building still bigger ones, which the Sammy flyers have the fun of shooting up and shooting down. Watch the next surprise swat of Marshal Foch. He has one up his sleeve. The drastic antl.loaflng law en. acted by a number of the States has revived the famy.is old saying: "(I! help the rich, the poor can work." Trotzky is reported as traveling incognito. He must be indulging in re more flamboyant speeches. That would successfully conceal his iden tity. .
