BOY PROFITE£L RSt?

Residence portions of the city were stirred last night by boys calling that Soissons had fallen, and that thirty thousand Germans had been captured. Secretary, Baker today says of course Soissons has not fallen, the*' Americans have not captured thirty thousand Germans, and he regrets that some people take the war as an advantage to iGBposBvOn othec .people for profit.

These little profiteer^ doubtless have little idea how serious i£ their offense they can not be expected to know what a serious matter it is to spread such news when ther® are thousands of families with boys in action who hang on every word of information.

These little mischiefs bring up a new war-time profiteering idea, that doubtless will have to be controlled, and encouragement of these boys is their deceptive practice la bad.

Secretary Baker suggest* that the people decline to be humbugged as a very good way to check such practices.

QUENTIN.

German aviator# this morning dropped notes across the American lines saying that Quentin Roosevelt is dead, killed when his airplane was shot down by the enemy.

Col. Roosevelt gave four sons to the service of his country. 'Two of them have been gassed or wounded and a third, Lieut. Quentin, has been reported missing under circumstances which made it extremely probable he ia dead. The fourth son la on his way to the front. s

By contrast with this record of the former president's family, take that of the JsaJser and his "s\x uninjured sons."* Instead of fighting, as the Roosevelt boys have done, the kaiser's brood have kept safely In the background, grooming themselves for the thrones they ar« expected to occupy when the "strong Gorman sword" has completed its work of hewing out kingdoms for the younger ones.

The.sympathy of the entire country goes ont to Col. Roosevelt. The Roosevelt boys have done just what thousands of other young Americans have done, and, what w« expected them to do., Xn bearing thole share of the common burden and facing the common peril they have rtm true to form and to the traditions of their ancestry. The country- is proud of them.

THE MODERN SPARTA.

The "people of this country haven't felt the first pinch of war compared with the sacrifices the British people have gone through. But we jure getting our mind set for some of the real rigora of war timesi vfc

The other day in the 'Brft^ ^rlla'ment a member inquired of the government whether or not arrangements could' not be made to~keep British boys of 19 years and under out of the battle line in France. He thought that might be done without' injustice to the other allies, because l"X§nch boys of that class are not yet called up. and the American age limit'is

He was told that no .such arrangement seemed possible, and that ended the discussion.

The incident is significant to Americans, because It calls attention to the sacrifices which the British people are making 1n order to" Tender their utmost service in the war. Just now the American army is being celebrated for its size, its virtues and its valor in half a dozen 'Europeart-'languages, whila the fine qualities'"of our itssoelates in the war are taken as a matter of course.

It must not he forgotten that' America still has a long way to go and a heavy burden to carry. before all the debt of duty Is paid. America is not within hailing distance of the point where boys of 19 and less *wlll be drafted

LOGS IN WAR.

Th# Tribune has two letters from different parties indicating a willingness to give th® government walnut trees which they own. This is commendable, and, too, it is really an important matter.

Many a fine old waln'dt tree that has stood a generation or more in some grove or pasture !s being felled these days to make airplane propellers or gunstooks. Four years of actual trial has proved that no other wood Is as well suited for these, uses as the common black walnut, -which- grows- to perfection In the rich soil of the middle west valleys.

The destruction of the waTnut groves began long before the United States entered the War. American factories had large orders for foreign governments, which sent prices of the coveted timber sky high. Sinee we got in, however, the demand has been greater iind to the high price has been added the appeal of patriotism. Many o

have thought of selling his children as the stately walnut trees in his front yard or pasture, has yielded to the urgent appeal of the government. Boy Scouts have been asked to locate every walnut tree above IX inches in diameter and report its ownership to Washington. At almost any railroad station in the corn belt today may be seen piles oX walaut logs awaiting shipment.

But still thft-'-SflprfianA' continues. "Fight with 'youf 'wa^nut tfees,'* is the new slogan, Jt requires half a dozen trees to supply lumber for a propeller and gunstocks'"for a platoon- ol- infantry. Every tree ^counts.

The government does not buy the timber direct,.Jt^t R, L." Oakley, Sixth and streets, Washington, will advise anyone having walnut logs or trees where they can be sold at a fair price, with the assurance that they will be applied to public use. If the present conditions continue, £ha possession of walnut grove, or even a few sound trees, at the conclusion of the war will be cause for suspicion that the owner thought more o£ them than he did of his country.

What our wife

wants to find out is whether It will grow hair on a lady who is not in society. There are many questions which must remain unanswered.

The grocer fills in date, name of consumer with his address, telephone number and number in family. The dealer must also insert his name, address, phone number, names of salesman, and total amount of sugar to which the family is entitled for three months.

The consumer, once havlnjr received a card, may purchase from any grocer. Bach household Is entitled to one card only. The county food administrator will check up the stubs to see that there are no violations, hut» antlcipates no difficulty, as the people of Omaha have been oo-operating to the fullest extent in food regulations. If there are any food slackers they are liable to fine of $2,000 and two years in jail.

Whenever a consumer orders sugar a hole is punched in the card to indicate the purchase. Some grocers have their delivery boys do the punching others retain a customer's card at the store others have their deliv«ry boys take up the cards when a delivery of sugar is made and return the card to the consumer with the next order.

SfGAHD CARD WHICH THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA HAVE TOLUKTARIMT ADOPTED.

ADOPT SUGAR CARD TO HP WIN WAR

People of Omaha Start Plan Which May Become Very General Before Long..

OMAHA, Neb., July 3t.—Omaha has adopted a sugar card rationing system, which went into effect Monday, July 15. This is the first sugar card, so far as the local food administration officials know, to be issued in. the United states. The move was voluntary on the part of the Omaha grocers, but was sanctioned by Gurdon W. Wattlen, federal food administrator for Nebraska, and by 0»car Allen, administrator for Douglas County, in which Omaha is located.

The card is prepared and has been copyrighted by J. Jf. Cameron, secretary of the Omaha retail grocers association, which organization stands the cost of printing and distributing the cards.

T2ach card Is good, for three months, July, August and September, and allows the householder to order three pounds of sugar a month for each member of his family, children included, except nursing babies.

The card is issued by the grocers but retained by the sugar consumers. The grocer retains the stub which Is forwarded. the county,.£ood administrator.

..... ....

Over my heart, in the days that are flown. No love like mother-love ever has shone. No other worship, abides and endures. Faithful, unselfish and patient like yours. None like a mother, can charm away pain. From the sick soul and the world weary brain, Slumber's soft calms o'er ray heavy lids creep. Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to aleep.

Cfcthe let your brown hair just lighted with gold, Fall on your shoulders again as of old, T^et it fall over my forehead, tonight, Phadlng- mv faint eves, awav from the light. For with its sunny edged shadows once more Haply will throng, the sweet visions of yore, Lovingly, softly its bright billows sweep, Rock me to sleep, mother, rock me to sleep. Clasped to your heart, ia a loving embrace. With your light lashes, just sweeping nrty face, NTever hereafter, to walte or to weep. Rock me to sleep, mother, rwk me to sleepy ~Elizajveth Akers Alien.

This f* a flouibtful flay, aeeoWttnj? to astrology, for the stars oontend for good and evil domination. While Jupiter, Uranus and Venus are In beneflc. aspect part of the time, th® planets change to malefic aspects.

Iuring this configuration ft fs WfcTI to be cautious abo'it thoughts as vvfli as actions.

Women are ^Opposed to be exceedingly uncertain and capricious tinder this sway. The stars Indicate the law of extremes will affect them as it affects all things else, and that while many will rise to supreme heights of heroism, others wfll be extraordinarily selfish and mercenary.

It Is wise to be cautious In associating with relatives or friends during this planetary direction, as the stars may encourag* discussions and disagreements.

One of the strange results of the evil aspects of the stars, which are supposed to produce war, is the falling away of friends, astrotogars declare. Social conditions and relations will change radically each ye«r, they prophesy.

Venus is in a place making for unusual interest in dress, and again there is a prognostication that a nationwide campaign for economy or for standardized attire for women may take plac$ before atitumn.

HOW TO MAKE MONEY. ./ ___ That is one question that interest ev«ry farmer. His cxrxTnc« tei)' him that if be can make rnony, most his other problems can be settled some fairly satisfactory way. \vf it Is true that there is no ready-m recipe for riches, and no short-cuts, success, it is equally trur that exence points out ccrtain lines that be followed with fair assurance of ultimate success.

Professor Reed, who has been making a study of the history of western Kansas, says that "the men who staved av| have become successful were the men who depended ©li milking coWs snd! keeping chickens and & fnw hops to pay the grocery bill, taxes and int'. rest ti th* mortgage during the lean year» when wheat was a failure."

This simple fact is as tme fn Ohio tt Is In Kansas. A few cows, a few chickens, and a few hogs, on which th^ family may live, leaves the ca^h a e y n e e a a n e n i the same whether the cash crop Is cotton or corn, potatoes or wheat.
