I MELBOURNE, Australia, Aug. 4—
Steps are being taken by the Common
— wealth government, state governments
m and by firms and individuals to try
to supply the Imperial Government
with munitions, in view of the enor
mous importance in this war of un
ceasing provisions of shells and the
like.
The general idea is to organize the
facilities of Australia in this direction,
and to this end, the Minister
for defense, Senator George F. Pearce,
has named a special committee to go
into the corelative questions of the
amount and character of the war ma
terial being furnished to the Federal
Government by Australian manufac
turers; the government’s own manu
facture of war material; and the con
tracts now in force between the Brit
ish War Office and the Australian
manufacturers. This committe,
which will be almost a departmental
body in its functions, will co-operate
with committees which are to be
chosen by commercial bodies.

FUR TRADE SUFFERS
ON ACCOUNT WAR
LIPSIC, Germany, Aug. 4—In Com
mon with London, Paris and Petro
grad, Leipsic has felt the effects of the
war on the fur trade with extraordi
nary keeness. The business in this
line is practically at a standstill, and
few if any firms are adding anything
to their already overlarge stocks. In
previous years it has been just at this
time that they have begun to load up.

EVERY TOWN.
(Copyrighted 1915, by Frank Crane)
Every town has some store where
the loafers congregate to regulate the
universe.
Every town has a postoffice and a lot
of folks who call for mall every day
and never get any.
Every town has a horrible example.
He gets drunk, won't work, but his
wife supports him and loves him with
a doglike fidelity no decent man can
ever hope to receive.
Every town has its old sklnflnt, who
discounts notes, buys up land, dresses,
like a tramp and won’t get his wife a
new stove.
Every town has a bad boy that all
parents hold In horror and all boys
love.
Every town 1ms its champion liar,
that lies for practice when he can’t
find anyhing to lie about.
Every town has its vicious tongued I
w'oman, who makes trouble as the
sparks fly upward
Every town has It village atheist.
Every town has its arguer, who will
challenge any statement you may
make, and prove it’s not so.
Every town has its loud-mouthed
citizen who can’t talk without making
noise like a megaphone.
Every town has its nice, speak-easy,
hand-shaking creature, who tries to be
popular with everybody and whom no
body likes.
Every town has its grouch-face, who
is unfailingly confident the worst Is
yet to come.
Every town has its good women that
everybody likes, and its honest men
whose word is as good as his bond.
Every town has a group of men who
know that the town is morally the
worst in the state.
Every town has a man who never
wears a collar, and a dude who pastes
down his hair and sports a pink strip
ed shirt.
Every town has its own particular
brand of big fool.
Every town carries its own peculiar
type of religious cranks.
Every town has men that know all
about the European war and the gov
ernment at Washington, hut don't
know how to make a dollar a day.
Every man has a man who laughs
like an idiot at his own wit.
Every town has its bully, who is
afraid to death of his wife.
Every town has men and women
who hate the place and are always
wishing they lived somewhere else.
In other words every town is as
chock-full c" 'iuman nature as every
other town.
