THE MANNINd TIES I. I. APPELT-----------------------------------------Editor F. M. SHOPE----------_--------------------Business Manager PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1917. Our food reformers are doing about everything, it seems, except reform. Order your egg in advance, sister. A record price is predicted for next winter. Time was when everybody reached out a greedy hand when the word "draft" was mentioned-but not today. The United States is now making its own dye stuffs. Germany, however, seeks to spell it d-i-e. Just now, however, we're wondering what scheme the income tax collectors will eveolve for rounding up the head waitors. Crop prospects are not so bad, it seems, and the specu lators are taking prompt advantage by hogging every thing they can get their clutches on. The poor man will pay. Vice President Marshall suggests sending some of the windy senators to France with the aviation corps. He had thought of recommending another place, but His Satanic Majesty objects. THE GRINDING OF THE GODS. "The mills of the gods grind slowly, but they grind exceeding fine." Never was the truth of the foregoing more apparent than at the present time. In 1914 the world was plunged into war by the action of Austria-insolent and domineering-insisting upon the chastisement of poor little Serbia, a nation over which she had tyranized for generations, and which she was even then holding in forced and unjust subjugation. But in her haughty disregard for the rights of others, Austria sowed the wind from which she is now reaping the whirl wind. Recent and persistent press dispatches indicate that the empire is in a bad way. Rent and torn by the strife she herself precipitated, she now would be only too glad to make peace on any terms that would leave her ever the semblance of a nation. But peace for Austria will mean practically extinction as a nation. In the very improbable event of a German victory she would be all but devoured by that aggressive neighbor n pay for "services rendered." On the other hand, a complete entente victory will mean that she will be almost totally dismembered and her ill-gotten terri tory restored to the different peoples from whom she wrested it. The way of the transgressor is hard, for nations as well as for individuals.

Agent Clabaugh, of the department of justice, who has done signal work in the white slave blackmail cases, said in Chicago the other day: "The Mann act lends itself too eas ily to blackmail. The Mann act is as unfair-unfair for the blackmail ers' benefit-as the proposition of the hamfat actor. "A hamfat halted before a barber shop with the sign, 'Shaving, 15 cents. Haircut, 25 cents.' He read the sign, then he walked in. "'Prithee, friend,' he said, 'couldst shear about 25 cents' worth off this pate of mine?" "'Sure, Mike!' said the barber gayly. "At the end of the operation the hamfat rose from the chair. "I-last taken off just a quarter's worth of hair, sirrah ?' he said. "'Sure, Mike!' repeated the barber, laughing delightedly. "'Well, then,' said the hamfatter, 'keep it for thy trouble-and so, give ye good day!' "-Chicago Tribune. o - Wanted to Be Friendly. "I ain't got no money, your wor ship," exclaimed a coster who was fined 10s the other day for disorder ly conduct, "but if you'll take it out in bloaters, things could be harranged as hamical as posible."-Los Angeles Times. 0 Indirect Action.
