Transcript Up Against It
The Transcript-Enterprise is la-
boring under the greatest of diffi-
culties these days in getting all the
news into its columns and the job
work out on time, owing to the lack
of printers and sickness oi a num-
ber of its force. Iwo <>1 its regular
force are at this time sick in bed at
their homes, and owing to the great
scarcity of printers, because ot the
fact that so many have gone to war,
it is difficult to get others to take
their places.
The management trusts patrons
will bear with us in our afflictions,
and excuse shortcomings in the way
of news and delay in getting out
work, assuring them the evils will
be remedied as quickly as possible.
Haig's Report of the Day

Fine Blanket Made
By West Side Pupils
A beautiful blanket made by the
little folks of Mrs. Larkins' room of
the west side schools is 011 exhibition
in the window of the S. K. McCall
store, and certainly reflects great
j credit on them anil their teacher. It
j is the intention to sell the blanket
I and devote the proceeds to the Red
| Cross. In addition to making this
j blanket the little folks have made
twenty pairs of wristlets, six sweat-
ers, six scarfs, a baby blanket and
! several bath rags. Tho^e who took
fending the same, but found the No-
ble Council had taken care of the mat-
ter, capturing several of the books
and burning the circulars. While
down there, the committee called up-
on ti party who was inclined to be a
"slacker" in the matter of subscrib-
ing for a Liberty bond, and after
"laboring" with him for a time in-
duced him to see his duty. The Noble
committee captured one copy of the
book at the home of a citizen who de-
clared he was a member of pi religious
denomination which was opposed to
I war and his conscience would not al-
low him to take any part in it—hut
j declared he was loyal to the country

-—The morals and habits of the men
in the aviation department are an j
especial care of the officers having ;
in charge, for upon their morals de-
pends their efficiency even more than 1
in other de:- rtme-it-. This is brought
to mind by the fact that a major has ,
been court-martialled and dismissed
from the army at San Antonio be-
iause he was found dissipating with
a woman in one of the hotels in that
city. Evidently the rule is no re-
specter of persons. After being dis-
missed, the major asked to be al-
lowed to enlist as a private in the
corps, which was granted, and maybe
he'll "come back" again. 4- ———
