Whiskey for Soldiers In view of the position taken by many who would rather establish prohibition than peace by winning the war if it was a mat ter left to their choice as appears by their activity and arguments in this country at this time, we give below a section of an article which appeared in Sunday edition of the Globe-Democrat and from Gunner Depew, C.

P. 0. first class gunner whose last service was with the Foreign Legion of France, 60,000 strong it faced the Germans and 8000 when Depew was captured. Depew is home again in Pennsylvania, unfit for further service. Here is what he says on this subject: Why Issue of Rum Given Men Before Charge is a Godsend As you probably know, it is the usual thing over there to give the men in the trenches a small issue of rum before tbey go over the top to tackle the Boches.

They say that there are lots of people in this country who think it is very wrong to give the soldiers rum. Well now: Suppose you have not changed your shoes or socks for five days. And suppose that all this time you have been up to your knees in mud and water, and have had to snatch your sleep four hours at a time, in stinking mud that reminds you of the time they flushed the sewer in front of your" home. Suppose your clothes are soaked through and through with rain and mud and sweat, and, worse, that they, too have been on you for five days. And besides they are so stiff with dirt or maybe blood, that they will only bend where they are freshly wet.

Suppose you are simply swarm ing witn body lice, iou can hardly sleep for the itching all over your body, and when you roll over, sometimes, you can almost hear the cracking as the lice are mashed against you. Imagine yourself waking up some morning to find a rat almost as big as a cat gnawing your boot. Think of waking up suddenly in the dark and feeling the wet fur of a rat brush under your chin. And suppose, too, that a few yards in front of fyou there are rotting human bodies sunk in mud. And some of them were once men who had loaned you cigarettss and showed you photographs.

Suppose your special pal's brains bad been blown all over you two hours before. Think of the horror of reaching out into a mud bank in the gray cold morning and pulling out a ma-gotty human hand. You have lived between a thunder clap and a fllash of, lightning for five days and have stared at two walls of mud for the same length of time. And your nerves jump and shiver every time there is a moment's silence. Imagine the discomfort of lining up at 4:30 on a snowy morn ing, loaded down under dead pounds of pack and overcoat and rifle.

And suppose that in a few minutes you were going to climb over your mud wall, and run through the dark, and trip over barbed wires and bodies, and fall in shell boles full of slime; that thousands of pieces of iron were going to whiz past you, that machine-guns were sweeping the whole field, that shells the size of umbrella stands would be exploding all around you, that thousands of rifle bullets were searching for you. Suppose you were as miserable as five davs bell in a sewer could make you and know you had to do all these things and that vou would have start do ing them in fifteen minutes. Meanwhile you were so cold you could not move without aching, and you were consumed with the fear that the crucial moment would find you afraid. And suppose the man next to vou was drinking a mouthful of stuff that would warm him and help him over into his day's work. And suppose the non-com was offering you a drink of the same stuff Wouldn't you take it? You men in slippers with fluffy balls on them and fur around the edges, sitting in a Morris chair with the throttle pulley way open and a box of Peerless Dainties on the arm, what do you think about it? Do you not think that the boys over here ought to have a little of the stuff now and then." ORDER OF PUBLICATION In the Circuit Court of Chariton County, Missouri, May Term, 1918 Charles D.

On account of ill health he had to discontinue his studies at Farm Bureau Notes By Sam Jordan "GOTO WORK OR GO TO JAIL." How does that sound? That is the dictum being promul gated in some or the towns in different states. Clarence Ousley said the best way to draft farm labor is for you to amend your Vagrancy Law so as to within i terms every able-bodied man who does not do six days work every week as a rule. Common ly our vagrancy laws have ap plied to Weary-Willlies meander ing from place to place with a tired look on their faces. Under the present demand for labor this should apply to the Weary- Willies found in every little town and in-every big one. They can be found infesting pool halls, gambling collecting like flies on the sunny side of a warm spring day and with no visible means of support.

They are able-bodied hulks as a rule but too infernal lazy to earn an honest living but are simply leeches and parasites on society. Tbey bask in the sunshine until the sun gets too hot then tbey unbask in the shade. Their stock of intelligence is usually, dirty jokes, nasty gossip, cigarets and tobacco spit bucn worms as these ought to be put to work and made work it it requires that sombody has to stand over them with a good club since nearly everyone of these fellows too is a glutton aud a food-hog that refuses to give any consider ation, when he can so avoid, to the thing that our Government is asking vou to do in waging war against the "Beast of Berlin" One town in Oklahoma has registerd these folks arresting them and putting them up at auction are selling theirservices to the highest bidder. It is safe to say that Wearies give that tewn the go-by. 'The time is here when any1 reasonably able-bodied man who should be required to do it Everyone of us has received the call to service in just as true a sense as has those boys between the ages of 21 and 31 been called to a special service and this very hour are shedding their red blood for you and me.

If some of those boys who have been called to the colors should desert bis comrades and shirk his duty penalties for deserters is death. If we who are at home enjoying WHat 'is ritew for spring summer? Any number of men and young men have asked us that question about the spring clothes. There never has been so much interest before and nevqr-so many good styles to be interested in. Because so many men want authentic information, we're publishing these fashion notes There's the "erect, shoulders back and chest out" influence of this war that is evident in all the new models. The waist lines are more marked; the buttons spaced closer together; military backs and pockets are the thing.
