A CALL TO DUTY
“Let every man and every woman assume the duty of
careful provident use and expenditure as a public duty as a
dictate of patriotism which no one can now expect ever to be
excused or forgiven for ignoring” — President Wilson
v NO TIME FOR STRIKES
Strikes seem to be a chronic ailment with Kansas City
At present every union in the city is out of his place at a re-
sult of the general strike Wednesday Union men who have
no quarrel with tlieir employers and are satisfied with wages
and conditions should think seriously about paralyzing the
industries of a great city when every man is doing his utmost
to aid in winning the war This is no time for strikes
CAR SITUATION IMPROVING
For several months the producers have been bad'ly hamp-
ered by a shortage of cars in which to ship their ore but con-
ditions are rapidly improving From information recently
given' out from the several traffic departments of roads it
would appear that no further serious Situations will be en-
countered by the big shippers
With a severe winter — the lowest and -most severe for
many years — and the extraordinary demands made upon
transportation lines by reason of the war many of the large
shippers in this district have been made to suffer Ore
prices have been held at low figures by reason of this fact
Now that conditions are sure to improve as the weeks pass
there should be renewed activity all along the line
MINING INSPECTOR FOR FIELD
It is not often that the Joplin Globe prints anything of
interest to the Miami district hut for once they advocate the
appointment of a deputy mine inspector for this district
This important question has been advocated by the Rccord-
Ilerald for many months past but so far nothing definite
has been accomplished - '
j There is no longer anydpubt about the necessity of an in-
spector fully equipped for the position a man who knows
the hazards of zinc mining from actual experience The
Miami mining district is not in need of a coal mine inspec-
tor one unfamiliar with this class of mining which is total-
ly different in many ways from the methods used in coal
mines ' j
“Mike” Ilailey as he is well and favorably known is a
recognized expert on coal mining having spent many years as
a coal miner yet he is not competent to pass upon zinc min-
ing methods “Mike” frequently visits this district and makes
inspections but he is more serviceable in the field for which
he was appointed He is all right for coal mines The Miami
field is entitled to a man thoroughly familiar with every
phase of the zinc mining industry
A NEST OF TRAITORS
Prof Max Meyer German born but a sterling American
patriot thinks the members of the Germau-American Alli-
ance should dissolve the society and not wait for the gov-
ernment to do it He knows the society stands for Germany
and is un-American to the core He indicts it thus:
“Has the German-Ameriean Alliance demonstrated its
patriotism by helping’ to teach German immigrants the lan-
guage of this American country? Has it endeavored to en-
able German immigrants to mix with tii'e population of this
country? lias it done its patriotic duty by trying to explain
the habits of life of the people of this country and thus to
make their adoption easier? The German-Ameriean Alli-
ance has not only failed to do anything of this kind it has
done all in its power to work in the opposite direction
“Granted that the majority of its members entered the
German-Ameriean National Alliance for perfectly desirable
purposes Granted further that the national society never
did anything prohibited by the constitution of the United
States Granted further that it is a society with abstract patri-
otic aims have the concrete activities of its branches demon-
strated that it is a patriotic society? No one can answer this
question without smiling If the honest and patriotic mem-
bers of the society have more power than their leaders t hey
will by their own initiative dissolve the Society and tlins free
themselves from their unpatriotic leaders”
A colonel of the signal corps supply division says only
one American airplane has been sent to France so far Gen-
eral Leonard Wood is of the opinion that the much adver-
tised Liberty motor is fit for bombing machines only Cer-
tainly this is intelligent criticism and the government should
get busy if we are to win the war in the air
'A War Savings Society is a War Club and is as essential
for the promulgation of thrift and saving as the old-fashioned
war club was for the savage
Farmers in Missouri and Kansas are delivering excess
supplies of flour and sugar to the Food Administration
You can make your friends and relatives happy and at
the same time perform a patriotic service by giving them
War Savings Stamps as birthday offerings
The spade and the hoe must befriend the rifle and the
bayonet
Learn to control your own appetite before you try to
control your neighbor’s

HERE VERY ACTIVE
TO ATTEND CLASSES
- i ’
Miami Is firmly established on the
Red Cross map The school recently
established by the ladles of this' city
has made great progress Mrs J B
LIghtfoot wife of Dr Llghtfoot for-
merly of Mnskogeo Is regarded as
an expert teacher of how to make
surgical bandages and dressings so
badly needed in the hospitals of Eu-
rope today Speaking of the work
and its progress Mrs Llghtfoot said:
"Our class consists of about twen-
ty principally working girls who are
doing excellent work I find them
very apt pupils qulto a few already
have graduated and are now teach-
ing In other towns and cities When
we finish them they go to St LouIb to
undergo a rigid examination and if
found up to the requirements in
their wprk pro given a certificate
which ontitles them to teach the art
It Is truly an art however much one
might think to the contrary-
"Our pupils undergo written oral
and practical examinations before
given a local certificate Many of
them become very proficient in the
work Our local work is along lines
laid down bythe great machine which
turns out thousands of experts In
their line
‘sGrigcal dressings are badly need-
ed today and the outlook- Is that still
other millions will bo required It is
not an easy task to make them Just
right and still more difficult to teach
the art Miami ladles are certainly
showing their patriotism and aid In
these days of great peril Women
everywhere are doing their ‘bit’ but
nowhere are they doing more than
the ladles of Miami”

and the Germans are making no headway Southward where the
fighting is heavier llindeuburg is putting less ginger into his
assaults Here and there the enemy is being driven back by
counters
One cannot say the battle is slackening it is only slowing
down while the adversaries spar for an opening Obvibusly the
German command is uneasy with the British resistance daily
strengthening The German storm troops are growing weaker

masses are making and is hastily bringing up fresh troops guns
and ammunition to continue the attack
