Ma!"
She made up her mind to ig

would come in to roost. She had
spoiled Charles in the past, but
from now , on she was going to
start to be more severe with him.
"Ma!" he crowed, louder than
ever. "Hey, Ma!" Old Mother

no use. She might as well ro
see what he wanted first as last,

spoiled chicken.
She waddled out to the barn

clucked. .
Charlie CWcken was not afraid

crowed, flopping his wings.

States in 1917. The general man
ager called these men Into' his
office and turning to the first
of them, he said. "Mr. doughboy
1 have a difficult and dangerous
commission for you to undertake.
You will have to give up your old
job and leave your family and go
at once to a camp to be trained
for your new occupation. Ton
will have to work about 16 hours
a day under the orders of rigor
ous and exacting task master, do
ing hard physical labor of a new
and tiresome kind. You will have
practically no time in which you
can call your sdul your own. Af
ter a few months of this inten
sive training you will be penned
up like a beef steer in the hold
of a ship and sent to Europe. Af
ter some more training in Eu
rope, under rotten living condi
tions, you will be sent to a muddy
slit in the earth's surface in the
northern part of France and told
to fight for your life. You will
be exposed to; liquid fire and mus
tard gas, which will burn through
your clothingand blind and dis
figure you. You will be exposed
to chloring gas, which will get
Into your lungs, and kill you or
make you an invalid. You will
be exposed to the fire of rifles,
machine guns, trench mortars
and cannon of all 6izes, firing
high explosive shells, shrapnel
and gas. You will see your com
rades killed, maddened and crip
pled around you. You will be
protected from the elements by
clothing made here at home which
dees not protect you, and your
feet will be covered by shoes that
fall to pieces. But this is a vital
job and you will have to attend
to it." Mr. Doughboy replied,
"Well. I will go, but I want a
little time to straighten up my
affairs." The general manager
answered, "No, you will go to
morrow." He then turned to , tne other
five men and said: Mr. Building
Trades, you will build the camps
for Doughboy. Mr. Farmer, you
will grow the food to feed him.
Mr. Munition Maker, you will
make the guns and shells for him

you can live with your famfW

If this is the American idea of
a fair deal, there should be no
adjusted compensation. The leg
islature of Iowa did not think so
and did its part in meeting the
obligation by passing unanimous
ly the adjusted compensation bill
which comes before the people on
Tuesday, November 7. This bill
attempts in a small way to make
up for the injustice done the sol
dier during the war by paying
50 cents a day for each day of
his military service up to and not
exceeding $350. The cost per
capita to a population of about
2,500,000 in the ftate of Iowa
is practically negligible. What
it really means Is that Iowa is
borrowing $2,000,000 from east
ern capital, to be spent in Iowa
for the payment of obligations,
for immediate living expenses and
for investments. The far-reaching
benefits of such a loan at this
time, to be repaid ot a low rate
of interest and during a Jong
period of years, are too obvious
to need further explanation. Sim
ilar bills have been passed in 18
other states and no such bill has
ever been defeated. Every man
and woman should vote for the
Iowa adjusted compensation bill
who believes in the validity of a
moral obligation.

At any rate, the styles that
commend themselves to American
taste are the styles that are go
ing to be worn. v
Parisians tried strenuously to
drag down the level of the walst
lline and the hem of the skirts,
the first to somewhere near the
knees, the second to the trail of
the pavement. American women
resisted both these tendencies.
And Fifth avenue has won against
the Bois de Boulogne.
Waistlines are going back to
where nature fixed them, and
skirts are receding from contact
with the dust of the streets. Both
on hygienic and artistic grounds
this is as it should be. v
And on hygienic grounds a" long
skirt mopping up the mire and
microbes of the gutter is an
abomination to all the principles
of health.
So, perhaps, American styles
are winning acalnst thsa at

are sane and moderate and don't
violate the canons of good esthet
ic taste. If so, this is another
proof that the world is getting
back to the normal.
