It has been said that tfce German
government has blue prints of every
piece of every American battleship.
Some years ago a man cotne to
America and established a little ship
yard of his own. Whenever the
American government would advertise
tor bid* on the building of a naval
vessel this man would make the low-
est bid, get the contract, build the
vessel and lose money. The German
government made good his loss, for
ho supplied the German government
with the blue print* of the separate
and complete parts of the vessel.
Thut man was an employer of Amer-
ican labor. If he and his kind are
still dominating the situation, we
can believe that President Wilson
knew what he was talking about
when he told the working men that
capital is more often in the wrong
than labor has been. It would be
well lor the American people to re-
member that President Wilson has
never been radical in his beliefs—and
follow hi* lead even though it would
seem to endorse union labor.

CHAPTER XXYL
HEALTH
By JOHN B. HUBER. A. M„ M. D.
"Only a Volunteer."
B. Bonelii, soldier now in New
York, sends Ihe following piece ot
poetry which he requests The Post to
print:
Why didn't I wait to be drafted:
And led to the train with a band,
Or put in a claim for exemption;
Oh, why did I raise up my hand?
Why didn't I wait for the banquet?
Why didn't I wait to be cheered?
[for tho drafted men got all the credit
While I only volunteered.
And nobody gave me a banquet,
Nobody said a kind word;
The puff cf the engine, the grind of
the wheels
Wths all the goodbye that I heard.
Then off to the training camp huntled
To be trained for the next half year,
And In the shuffle forgotten;
1 was only a volunteer.
And perhaps some day In the future,
And my little boy sits on my knee,
And ask* what I did In the struggle,
And his little eyes look up at me,
I will have to look Into those e>es
That at me so trustingly peer,
And say that 1 wasn't drafted;
That I was only a VOLUNTEER.
—Vicksburg, Miss., Post.
The women of Temple propose to
celebrate Ihe Thanksgiving occasion
with a party, the aim of which Is to
get together in a hearty fellowship
the one with another for -the advance-
ment of common interests and the
welfare of the community. "Every-
wotrian's T'arty" must realise that the
eyes of the world are on them, to see
if the women can surpass the efforts
of the men in affairs of this kind.
The morale of the eeldier will be of
much higher tone because he realizes
that he can depend upon and trust
those who stand shoulder to shoulder
with him in the trenches, in the camp
and on leavo of absence from tho
scenes of action. Is it not that way
in all life? We can uphold the morale
of the folks at home by maintaining
the principle* of solidarity as mani-
fented through co-operation.

Changing Times,
When I wa* young, long, long 6|
I labored on a Kansas farm; I
the dun mules to and fro, and whalei
them with my strong right arm, I
rny couch at early morn, before
darkness passed away, and husked
yellow ears of corn throughout the
sunny autumn day. I sold some corn
not once or twice, but many times, lr
those past years; twelve cents ft bushe
was the p>lce—oh, think of that anc
shed some tears! It took about a tor
of corn to get a haircut and a shave;
the farmer's spirit wa* *o torn h<
longed to fill an early grave. And now
the farmer drives to town, with loac
of corn on creaking wain; the pur-
chaser must pony down two bones I
biu-hel for that grain! To one who*i
sold his loads of malse, his harvest, at
twelve cent* a throw, these neem th«
golden, happy days for farmer*—btti
thoy mill have woe. Today I talked
with David Dale, who bought the farrr
of Hiram Horn, and h® was loaded
down with kale, for he had sold s
load of corn. "The way t'ney soak e .
man in town," he said, "just makes &
fellow reel; our face* still are tram*
pled down by rank oppression's iron
heel. Today I bought a pair of shoes
from that old pirate, Godfrey Gough;
the price ha* given me the bluei
where doe* tho husbandman get off?"

atus that ueeB the wheels and axles of
a car and the regular rail* without
