The Bible is an unfailing source of surprises to those who search its riches honestly and earnestly.— Hawkeye.

St. Peter, Minn., has gone wet.

How shocking.

Europe seems to be warming up

to one of William Jennings Bryan's

"policies"—grape juice drinking.

This is the kind of weather that

makes the farmer member of the legislature yearn for adjournment.

Some of the Des Moines newspa­

pers want a "near beer law" enact­ed in order that the big brewery in

that city might not be forced to

close.

If the king and other high officials of Great Britain swear off drinking

until the close of the war that will be another incentive to have it close

as soon as possible.

If the expulsion of Gifford Pit

chot from Belgium doesn't bring an explosion from Oyster Bay the col­

onel is entitled to great credit for

his masterly silence.

A lot of Iowa newspapers can al­ways be depended upon to defend any graft found around the state-house.—Iowa City Republican.

Or around the town hall or the

county "temple of justice."

Vice President Marshall says too

many men think they are called to preach. Quite true. It might also be truthfully said that too many-

men feel they are called to hold pub­

lic office.

In the Berlin exchange there are separate registers for the skilled and unskilled workers, and another ex­change for women. At one end of the great hall is a clearing office, with complete card indexes, where the names of the men and the oppor­tunities of employment are enrolled and classified. When a request comes for an employe, men are call­ed forward in the order of their reg­istration, and are advised of the op­portunity, the wages and the condi­tions of employment. Married men are given the preference over un­married ones. No fees ar^ required in most of the German exchanges, although in Berlin a registration fee of five cents is charged.
