Saving is the first great principle of all success. It creates independence, it gives a young man standing, it fills him with vigor, it stimu­ lates him with the proper energy; in fact, it brings to him the best part of any success—hap­ piness and contentment. If it were possible to inject the quality of saving into every boy, we should have a great many more real men. 4 per cent paid on Savina* Deposits compounded quarterly.

Orders went to Eastern railroads to clear up freight congestion regardless of previous government priority regu­ lations, passenger schedules and any hampering practices under the old competitive system, and to pay spe­ cial attention to movement of coal and food. f Lincs of the West and South were notified that soon they might be called on to furnish locomotives and other equipment to help lighten the traffic burden In the -East, and a committee of government officials, was created to work out a plan for diverting export freight to ports south of New York. Returns to Old Job.

The federal board of mediation and conciliation will continue to pass on wage disputes now 'pending, It was an­ nounced after a conference of the board with Mr. McAdoo, but eventual­ ly the director probably will handle wage questions directly. The govern­ ment's attitude toward wage changes will not be determined for several weeks at least, or Am til the pressing problems of speeding up transporta­ tion are thrashed out Mr. McAdoo limited his comments on the labor situation to saying that he would "treat the mon with justice and equity” and would give “a lust and square' hearing” to the brotherhood heads.

Tbe Japanese have many quaint cus­ toms haud^-1 down from generation to generation. One of the strangest is that of their naming ceremony. When one ifiontli old a Japanese child gets its first name with ceremonial. Trumpets are blown, and tbe child is borne in great state to tbe family temple, and behind tbe procession march the house­ hold sen-nuts carrying tbe infant’s wordrobe. The servant in the rear of the procession bears a huge box, in which is the priest's fee, together with three slips of paper, on which three names are written. »On reaching tbe temple the names are thrown into tbe air, and tbe first that touches the ground is the one which tbe child re­ ceives. When throe years old tbe child Is again named, accompanicff by elaborate religious rites. At the age of fifteen hi* education - is supposed to be fin­ ished, and as he then enters manhood (according to Japanese law) be I* again named.

A Boston woman says she can detect 4 bachelor a* far as she can see him. She always* knows a bachelor by his furtive look. Tbe furtive look, she ex plains, is something akin to that of a bunted animal, always on tbe watch for snares and pitfalls. Of cotfrae this may apply only to Boston bachelors, but It would Im* well for all other sin gle unfortunates to take it good look al themselves lu tb»* mirror and find that telltale look.

Washington, Jan. 1.—Germany ha* sent, broadcast, by wireless from Nauen the ostensible peace terms of the Ruatiian bolshevik!, and these lune been received in Washington.

Rut there were fewer bot­ tles and fewer patrons to drink them. The restaurants were filled comfor­ tably. but not to suffoenttbn. There were fewer young folks than usually nre about on the first morning of the New Year. Perhaps the reason was that many of them ^re at the canton­ ments and some of the others were thinking of them. There was no ele­ ment of gloom In the air. hut tin* usual hilarity and horseplay of New Year’s was absent. Watch services were held lu many churches, and tbe theaters were well patronized.

A Roman stoic philosopher was di» coursing cme day on life and death. “They are Just the Barne," be said; “there Is no difference between them." “Why don’t you die, then, if there is no differencer one of his disciples asked. "Because there is do dlfferanee." returned the philosopher. He turned away with ■ smile oh- bls Ups, a smile that bls eyes belied, and she watched him walk to the corner through the same sort of driving rain that now pelted in gray Hues against her window. She-shook beraelf. impatiently out of that retrospect. It wan done. Life, as her brother had prophesied, was no kid glove affair. Tbe future was her chief concern now, not tbe pest. Meantime she hud nut been idle; neither had she come to Seattle on a blind Impulse. She knew of-a singing teacher there whose reputation was more than local, a vocal authority whose word carried weight far beyond Puget sound. First she meant to see him, get an impartial es­ timate of the value of her voice, of the training she would need. Through him she hoped to get in touch with some outlet for the only talent she posse&ed. And she had received more encourage­ to get, to the white beam that beat ment t^an she dared hope. He listened flown from the picture cage, to the to her sing, then tested the range and eager, upturned faces in the first rows. Her confluence grew. Ambition began flexibility of her voice.

They were decent folk who accorded frank admiration to her voice and her per sonallty. They had been kind to her In many little ways, and she was glad to accept. At 11 a taxi deposited them at the door of Wain's. ‘The Seattle of yester-. day needs no iutroduelon to Wain’s, and its counterpart van be found in yay cosmopoHtin ae«f>ort city.

Ensconced behind a lotted palm, with a waiter taking Howard's order. Stella let her gaze travel over the din­ ers. She brought up with a repressed start at a table but four removes from her own, her eyes resting upon the un­ mistakable profile of Walter Monohan. He was dining vls-a-vls with a young woman chiefly remarkable for a pro­ fusion of yellow hair and a blazing diamond in tbe lobe of each ear-a plump, blond, vivacious person of a type that Stella, even with her limited experience, found herself instantly classifying. A bottle of wine rested in an Iced dish between them. Monohan was toying with the stem of a half emptied glass, smiling at his companion. The girl leaned toward him, speaking rap­ idly, {touting. Monohan nodded, drain­ ed hta glass, signaled a waiter. When she got Into au elaborate opera cloak and Monohan into his Inverness they went out. the plump, Jeweled hand resting familiarly on Monohan's arm. Stella breathed a sigh of relief as they passed. looking straight ahead. She watched through the up;>er half of the cafe window and saw a machine draw against the ’curb, saw the bescarfed yellow bead enter and Monoban's silk hat follow. Then she relaxed, but she had little appetite for her food. A hot wave of shamed disgust kept coming over her. She felt sick, physically re­ volted. Very likely Monohan had put her in that class in ills secret thought She was glad when the evening ended and the Howards left her at her own doorstep. On the carpet where it had been thrust by tbe postman under the door, a white square caught her eye, and she picked It up Iwfore she switched on the light. And shp got a queer lit­ tle shock when the light fell on the envelofH*. for It was addressed in Jack Fyfe’s angular handwriting. She tore It open. It was little enough in the way of a letter, a couple of lines -scrawled across a sheet of note paper. .Dear Girl—I was tn Seattle a few days ago and heard you sing Here's hoping cood luck rides with you. JACK. Stella sat down by the window. Out­ side the ever present Puget sound rain drove against wall and roof und side­ walk, gathered in wet, glistening pools in the street. Through that same win­ dow she had watched Jin k Fyfe walk out of her life three months ago with­ out a backward look, sturdily, silently, uncomplaining. He hadn’t whined; be wasn’t whining now. only flinging n cheerful word out of the blank spaces of bls own life Into the blank spaces of hera. Stella felt something warm and wet steal down her cheeks. She crumpled the letter with a sud• a. siasmodle clinching of her hand. A lump rose chokingly in her throat, bbe stabbed at tbe light switch and threw herself on the bed. subbing her heart's cry in the dusky quiet. And ■he could not have told why, except that she liad been overcome by a mis­ erably forlorn feeling. All tbe mental props she relied upon were knocked out from under her. Somehow those few scrawled words had flung swiftly before, like a picture on a screen, a vision of her baby toddling uncertain­ ly across tbe porch of the white bunga­ low. And she could not bear to think of that. ’ ' • • • • . . • • • When the elm before her window broke into leaf and the sodden winter skies were transformed Into a warm spring vista of blue Stella was singing a special engagement in a local vaude­ ville house that boasted a "big time” bill. She had stepped up. The silvery richness of her voice had carried her name already beyond local boundaries, u the singing master under whom she studied prophesied it would. In proof thereof she received during April a feminine committee of two from Van­ couver bearing an offer of $300 far her appearance in a aeries of three con­ certs under the auspices of tbe Wom­ an's Musical club, to be given In the ballroom of Vancouver's new minion dollar hostelry, the Granada. The date was mid-July. She took the offer un­ der advisement, promising a decision in ten days. The money tempted her. That was her greatest need now, not for her dally bread, but for an accumulated fund that would enable her to reach New York and ultimately Europe, if that aeemed the most direct route to her goal. She bad no doubts about reaching It now. Confidence came to abide with her. She throve on work * And with increasing salary her fund grew. Coming from any other source, she would have accepted this further augmentation of It without hesitation, since for a comparative beginner it was a liberal offer. But Vancouver was Fyfe’s home­ town. , It had been here. Many peuph' knew her. Tbe local papers would fca ture her. She did not know bow Fyfe would take !L She did not even know if there had been any open talk of their separation. Money, she felt, was a small thing beside opening old sores. For herself, she was tolerably indiffer­ ent to Vancouver's social estimate of her or her acts. Nevertheless mo long as she bore Fyfe’s name she did not feel fn-e to make herself ■ public fig­ ure there -without his ssprtldn. So ■he wrote to him in-some detail con­ cerning the offer and asked point blank If It mattered to him. • His answer came with uncanny promptness. >■ If every mail connec­ tion bad been made on tbe minute. He wrote: If ft la to your advantage to stag here by all means accept. Why should It matUr to mo? I would even bo slad to come and hear you sing if I could do so without Stirring up vain longings and useless re­ grets. As for th© other considerations you mention, they are of no weight at all. 1 nover wanted to keep you In a glass case. Even If all were well between Ua I wouldn’t have any feeling about your singing In public other than pride In your ability lu command public favor with your voice. Lt’s a wonderful voice, too big and fine a thing to remain obscure. JACK. .Stella sat thoughtfully gazing at the letter for a long time. “I wonder?” she said aloud, and the sound of her own voice galvanized her Into action. She pvt on a coat and went out into the mellow spring sun­ shine and walked till the aimless stray­ ing of her feet carried her to a little park that overlooked the far reach of the sound and gave westward on the snowy Olympics, thrusting hoary and aloof to a j>erfect sky, like their broth­ er peaks that ringed Roaring lake. And all the time her mind kept turning on a question whose asking was rooted neither in fact nor necessity, an Inquiry born of a sentiment she had never ex­ pected to feel. Should she go back to Jack Fyfe? She shook her head impatiently when she faced that squarely. Why tread the same bitter road again? But she put that self interested phase of It aside ■nd asked herself candidly If she could won Id turn him BMide when be had made a decudon. If be erer bad mo­ menta of irresolution be bad succeNKfully concealed any auch wcakiieaw frian those who knew him lieat No one ever felt called u|»on to pity'jack Fyfe, snd in those rocked ribbed qualities 8teila had on illuminating flanli. i>erh«ps lay .the secret of his failure ever to stir la her" that yearning tenderness which she knew beraelf to be capable of lavtahiug, which her nature impatlad her to lavish on some one. . “Ah, well," she sighed when she camo back to her rooms and put Fyfe's letter away In a drawer. "1 wonder what Jack would ray if be knew what I’vo been debating with myself this after­ noon? I wonder If we were actually divorced and I’d made myself a repu­ tation as a singer und we happened to meet quite casually some time, some­ where, just bow we’d really feel about each other?" ■ She was still musing on that in a de­ tached, (initeraonal fashion, when she caught a car down to the theater for the matinee.

Her engine misfired continuously, and Barlow lacked tbe mechanical knowledge to remedy Its ailment. He was satisfied to let it pound away so long as It would revolve at all. So tbe boat moved slow­ ly through that encompassing smoke at less than half si>eed. Outwardly the once spick and span cruiser bore every mark of hard usage. Her topsides were foul, her decks splintered by the tramp­ ing of calked hoots, grimy with soot and cinders. It seemed to Stella that everything and every one on and about Roaring lake l>ore twine mark of that holocaust raging in the timber, as If tha fire were some malignant disease menacing and marring all that it affect­ ed and affecting all that trafficked within Its smoky radius. But of tbe fire itself she could see nothing, even when late in the after­ noon they drew in to the bay before her brother’s camp. A heavier smoke cloud, more pungent of burning pitch, blan­ keted the shores, lifted to blue, rolling made the air stifling, causing the eyes to smart and grow watery. That was the only difference. Barlow laid the Waterbug alongside tbe float. He bad already told her that Lefty Howe, with the greeter part of Fyfe's crew, was extending and guard­ ing Benton'S fire trail, and be half ex­ pected that Fyfe might have turned up there.

Everything around there, shacks and all, was burned days ago, so the Are can't touch the house. The crew there has grub and a cook. .I kinds expect Jack’ll be there unless bo fell in with them constables." She trudged silently back to the Wtterbug. Barlow started the engine, and the boat took up her slow way. As they aklrtod tbe shore Stella began to see here and there tbe fierce havoc of the fire. Black trunks of fir reared nakedly to tbe smoky sky, lay crisscross on bank and beach. Nowhere was there a green blade, a living bush—nothing but charred black, a melancholy waste of smoking litter, with here and there a pitch soaked stub still waving its banner of flame or glowing redly. Back of those seared skeletons a shifting cloud of smoke obscured everything. Presently they drew in to Cougar tiay. Men moved about on the beach; two bulky scows stood nose-on to tho shore. Upon them rested half a dozen donkey engines, thick bellied, upright machines, blown down, dead on their skids. About these in great colls lay piled tho gear of logging, miles of steel cable, blocks, tho varied tools of tho logger’s trade. The Panther lay between tbe scows, 'with lines from each passed over her towing bitts. ’ Stella could see the outline of tbe white bungalow on its grassy knoll. They had saved only that, of all tbe camp, l»y a light that sent three men to tbe hospital on a day when the wind *shlfte<i into tbe northwest and sent a Sheet of flame rolling through the tim­ ber and down oc Cougar bay like a tidal wave, so Barlow told her. He cupped bis hands now and called to his fellows on. the beach. No, Fyfe had not come back yet "Go up to the mouth of Tumbling creek," Stella ordered. Barlow swung the Waterbug about cleared the point and stood up along the shore. Stella sat on a cushioned seat at the back of tbe pilothouse, hard eyed, struggling against that dead weight that seemed to grow and grow in her breast That elemental fury ragtag ta the woods made her shrink.

COLD TABLETS Will be found excellent for relief of a heavy cold. Frequently they serve to check such a condition, clearing the head, easing the tight feeling, relieving hoarseness and difficult breathing, in? flammation of the nasal passages, throat and bronchial tubes. We recommend these tablets in the treatment of ceryza, rose cold and rhinitis, which are all practi­ cal y due to the same cause—germ irritation leading / to intense inflammation of the linings of the nasal cavities. In treating a^oold which has, as is generally termed,*'settled on thp lungs,” Rexall Cold Tablets are advisable as an emer* gency remedy until competent medical advice may be obtained. Such a condition is serious, and usually medical advice is not only advisable but necessary. 25c----- REXALL COLD TABLETS----- 25c H. D. Wotring NUMBER 26 Wm.

Most women have the thrift habit more firmly fixed than their husbands—and yet they are the first to urge their men folks to dress well. Isn’t that be­ cause they realize the importance of a good appearance before those you’re dealing with? A look of prosperity brings a feeling of confidence. Many a business deal is won by the self-assurance of one man outlasting that of the other. , If your wife thinks you ought to invest in a new suit or overcoat, don’tyou think it would be wise to take her advice?

Lansing, Mich., January 24,—One million American soldiers and sail­ ors are preparing to go over the top without taking care of their families. If they are killed or rendered help­ less by wounds, their dependents must rely upon charity for daily bread. The last day on which men *n Fed­ eral service can take out the insur­ ance that the government provides, is Tuesday, February 12. After that applications are refused The Michigan War Preparedness Board estimates that thore are fully 10,000 Michigan men with 'he colojw who have been negligent in ‘his re­ spect. In a statement issued today the Board urges wives, mothers and children to write or even wire their relatives in the service tc t ‘ i out an Insurance policy before it is too late. Premiums may be paid out of the man’s wages monthly. The avenge cost is only 70 cents per 11,000 pdr month. Policies arc writ.en from 91,000 to 110,000.

ANNUAL TAX SALE COUNTRY CORRESPONDENCE. A Want Advt. in The News Always Gets Good Results WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN NumMr Four Military Training Necessary for Safety and Defense. "Say. Unde Dan." Mid Billie, "Jim­ mie and 1 have been looking up about war In the encyclopedia at schoot We found that in the war between Ger­ many and France in ^870-71, Germany lost in killed and wounded 28,000 eoL dlers while France lost about six time® as many, and besides -that, she lost every battle. We asked Professor Slo­ cum why this was. He said that the German army was highly trained and ably commanded, while the French soldiers were poorly trained; and that their war department was honey­ combed with Jealousy and politics; that the officers were not much good, and that’s why France lost the war and so many men. What do you think about it. Uncle Dun?" "Well," said Uncle Dan. “Professor Slocum is right. By inefficiency France lost that war, together with two of her best provinces—Alaace and Lor­ raine—and had to pay a billion dol­ lars indemnity money. France today learned her Jessop by that sad expe­ rience. so she put Id universal military training, and us a resflttt, her soldiers now know how to fight and how to protect themselves. They are losing less men in the war than the Germans. France also put politics out of her war department. so that expert authority, instead of bureaucratic stupidity, now directs the army. The. result is. Fratace has one of the best and most efficient armies every assembled, and this slious what thorough training and good leadership menus in warfare. Tills saved France in this crisis, ns well as the liberties of the world." “As war Is now conducted, there Is no place for an untruiued man. A body of 10.0UO well trained soldiers properly bundled could defeat five times their number of raw recruits and do it every Uwe with comparatively small loss to themselves. Proper train­ ing alone will reduce the death and casualty rate one-third of what it Oth­ erwise would be. and right here is an unanswerable argument for universal military training. “(Jur government has no moral right to force her men into war service without properly training them for it. To do s<> is simply murder, bence the frantic effort that Is now being made to give her soldiers some training be­ fore they are sent to the fronL If we are to win tills war, it will take trained men to do IL and it will take trained men to win any other war that may cuine upon us in the future. If wo must fight, let us fight to win and Dot to lose." “That's the stuff,” said Billie. Contlnuiug, Uncle Dun said: “Our government has expended about $300,ooo.ooO to put up cantonments and training stations In order to train the men called by the selective drafL When these men are trained the train­ ing stations should be immediately filled with younger men, say those in their nineteenth year, to receive six mouths of intensive military’ train­ ing along the lines of the Chamberlain bill. This will be of Immeasurable benefit to them Individually. It will do them more good than any other two years of their whole life; it will make them strong, manly, self-reliant, quick to see and quick to net; it will equip them for a successful life. In short, it will rebuild American manhood and will'also give the government a body of trained men to draw from in case It Is necessary to defend our flag and country. We must settle tills question of universal military training inlinediately, otherwise these training camps may be demolished. The adoption of universal military training will be no­ tice to the world that from then on we will be prepared to defend our­ selves promptly and efficiently, and this will do more to keep us out of war In the future than anything else we could do." “Do you think, brother," said Mra. Graham, “that there will ever be an­ other war?" "I have no doubt about IL" said Uncle Dan. “So long as men are selfish, so long as nations are ambi­ tious to acquire territory, so long ah population presses and demands more room, so long as there remains a scramble for world trade—so long wars will be. When the time comes that we reach the high plane for which we hope and dream, when nil will recog­ nize the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, then, and then only, will wurs cease. When that day comes doors will need no locks, banks will need no vaults to protect their treasures, but that day is a long way off. "The only safe and sane plan la to be able to defend ourselves at aD times. Therefore, every citizen should insist that senators and congressmen ph nil provide for universal military training, ao that never again shall the country be caught so completely <mready aa this war found us. For­ tunately, in this case, our enemy has months in which to prepare.

Even the brief view I had obtained of the boat impressed me strongly, both with its beauty and seagoing qualities. I was sailor enough to ap­ preciate all this at a glance. The Esmeralda was a steam yacht, schoo­ ner rigged aloft, of over fifteen hun­ dred tons, constructed for deep-water cruising, well manned, and able to com­ bat the storms of any ocean. I opened the door and emerged Into the main cabin. It was deserted, ex­ cept for a waiter or two attired In table suspended by stanchions from the deck beams above, and were spreading it with snowy linen In preparation for the six o’clock meal. Never had I seen a more cozy, homelike interior. Forward, an open passage, guarded only by silently swinging doors, led to the steward's pantry, and various storerodms beyond, while beside this opening a broad, brass-railed stairway led easily to the upper deck. Sunlight touched the edge of the companionway. and flickered down through a half­ opened skylight above, yielding cheer­ Cleaning Photographs.

Miss Springsteen led the meeting and fired the hearts of all with a new ambition to take the world for Christ. Several young people gave short, pointed speeches showing the advan­ tage of spreading the gospel through the whole wide world. The orchestra Under the leadership of Miss Bovee gave the flushing touches. A fine audience assembled in the community house last Sunday even­ ing at the hour of worship. The singing with orchestra accompani­ ment was especially melodius and In­ spiring. Rev. Schurman of the Evangelical church held in rapt at­ tention the large audience as he dis­ coursed on sin and its consequences. Many will look forward to the unit­ ing of the churches next Sunday evening at the Evangelical church. Mothodist Episcopal.

Pershing recently gave the American Red Cross seldom is received by any organization and not only Red Cross officials, but its twenty odd million members and other millions of weliwisners appreciate bls words highly. "I want to say to you," General Pershing said to idah McGlone Gib­ son, "that no other organization since the world began has ever done such great constructive work with the ef­ ficiency, dispatch, understanding, often under adverse circumstances, that has been done In France by the American Red Cross in the last six months." ' That appears to be about the limit in commendation. It was followed by more remarks equally compliment­ ary to the Red Cross for its work in rehabilitating the devastated homes of France and thereby improving the morale of the French army. This work of restoring the homes wrecked by the Germans so that the French soldier .at the end of the war would find a reunited family and a foundation for a new life, was said by General Pershing to have helped the American army fight the Kaiser before machine gun; began to fire and shells to burst. Mrs. Gibson reached the conclusion from her personal investigation of Red Cross relief work In France that the- American people, could not give too much for the extension of the work. "You may well carry back sue’ report to the American people." General Pershing agreed. Pershing Praises American Fighting Men in France. In a recent communication to Sec­ retary of War’Baker, tho commander of the American Expeditionary Forces said: "There has never been a similar body of men to lead as clean Ilves as our American soldiers in France. They nave entered this war with the highest devotion to duty and with no other Idea than to perform these duties in the most efficient manner possible.

The government has the right to call anyone to serve In case of war, and without training, a man Is worth nothing as a soldier. Un­ cle Sam has splendid new training camps that will soon be available for the purpose, therefore, here Is double reason why the Chamberlain bill for compulsory military training should be passed at once, so that every boy phy­ sically fit may have this training and not leave It for his parents to pay for. On account of the expense, not one boy In 50 can take the training now. I am glad that you can do so.

The nation has bad its Red Cross week—its Y. M. C. A’ week. . One important patriotic movement has been neglected. Our boys In the trenches need smokes to enable them to pass the cold, miserable 3:41 hours in the trenches and the pain-filled days in the hospitals. 8:17 P- mtyra. Charles H. Farnum, a.Long island woman who has just returned from the war districta, at a war relief meeting in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, recently praised what the smoke movement accomplishes. ’• JULIUS F. BEMENT We quote from the New York Sun. "In most of the hospitals in Serbia," she .said, "there is a shortage of anaesthetics and we nurses helped the men whenever we could by sup­ plying the lack with cigarettes. The men can' gq through the greatest agonies, if they. have, cigarettes in their mouths and never think of pain. When a soldier is brought in to be Operated on and there is no medical Fine line of "deadener" to .offer him we simply give him a cigarette to smoke during the ordeal and he goes through it' stoically." OPTICAL GOODS Dr. Roaalle S. Morton," another hospital worker In the; fighting fields, bears similar testimony relating an Incident in operating work which Nashvllla, Mich. could not have been undertaken without the aid of something to smoke; cigarettes were the preference of the wounded: "It la the first thing they call for when they realize what is about to happen, and its wonderfu’ power In taking the soldier's mind away from present excruciating pain must be seen to be believed in. That simple cigarette has nerved many a man who would have resisted painfully an operation whkh could not" be delayed and thus saved a life. It is, in my opinion, an aid to surgery.” . “Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund," acting upon the ruggestton of two patriotic editors, have set apart the week of George Washington's birthday (February 18th to 25th) as a week in which the entire nation “SINGLES JINGLES’ wilf raise funds to send smokes to our soldiers and sailors on the firing line.

Third Liberty Loan Castleton's quota for tirst and second Liberty Loan Bonds was $101,000.00. The amount subscribed was $118,300.00. Of this amount this bank bought for its own investment about 40 per cent of the total, or over $45,000.00. \ A third loan of. three billion will be called about May. first; in the meantime the Government will issue Certificates of In­ debtedness for five hundred million weekly until the third Liberty Loan campaign is closed.. These Certificates can be exchanged for the Bonds. Castleton’s quota for the third Loan will be about $69,000.00. This of course can be met, but only by each one doing their duty.

He stopa/turns and goes back to the fence on tbe other side of which she Is standing. “Are you married?” she asks. “Married? Why, no." Naturally the question Surprises him. “If you will marry me 1’11 give you any p'rke you ask." “Price?" Why a indy—a girl—come­ ly. should pay a common farmer to marry her wns unintelligible. • “Yes. But 1 wouldn't want you to live with me. I'd want to leave you as. booh as the ceremony was performed. Will /ou?“ Tbe matter having become a com­ mercial transaction, the man's mlud fell U|k>d tbe possible gain to him. He asked how be would be benefited. She asked him to name a price He named £100. She doubled it“Where can we find a clergyman?” she asked. He pointed to a spire standing above the tree tops. “Come." she said, “make baste.* Climbing the fence, he walked be­ side ber toward the spire till they came to a little church nestling under tbe trees and knocked at the door of tbe rectory beside IL A man, twenty­ eight or thirty years old. In canonical#, came to the dnnr. . “Marry us. quick!” said the glrL “Come In.” said the clergyman, as­ tonished to see a lady and.a farmhand asking to be wedded They were shown into a living rontn. and the clergyman said“1 cannot marry you without some information concerning such a slngu lar case.” The girl gave it hurriedly. She wa* an orphan and an heiress. Her guard­ ian. 0 man of fifty and a rascal, was trying to’ force her to marry him be­ fore she came of age, which would be in a few months. He had represented that she wap not of sound mind, and be was keeping her under guard. She bad escape*! despite bls watching, but would doubtless be overtaken and car­ ried back, the law being on her guard­ ian's side. As a married woman, through ber busband, she could claim ber freedom. The rector listened to ber explanation, pondered a few min­ utes, then said: “1 fancy 1 can get you out of your trouble without this marriage, which will bring complication# difficult to un­ ravel Suppose I hide you?" “Can you? Will you?" “I can." The girl told the man she had come with that if he would stand by ber and not reveal her whereabout# she would give him the money she had promised him to marry her. He was an honest chap and said that he would stand by ber without being paid to do so. As soon us be had gone the clergy­ man took the girl into the church and placed ber behind n curtain In the chancel. Then he went back to the rec­ tory, where he fouud breakfast wait­ ing for him. it was not long before a groom, mourned, nxle up to the rec­ tory nnd. throwing himself from his horse, knocked nt the door. The rector answered the summons and questions as to whether be had seen the escaped girl. Lying not being In keeping with I bis sacred office, he ex.cited suspicion. The groom rode away leaving the rec­ tor convinced thnt he would rej>ort his suspicions, and the church and rectory would be searched. Going Into the church, he informed the girt of her danger. She was beside herself with terror. “1 will take tbe place," be said, “ot the man who agreed to marry you, but without price, and will-consent to an annulment at such time as you may desire." The girl was only too glad to avail herself of hl# offer. A servant was sent post baste for a Methodist mlntoter who lived a short distance from them. He came, the servants were called a# witnesses, and the two wen* legally married. The ceremony bad scarcely been fiaisbed when a gentleman was driven up to the rectory and demanded in tbe name of tbe law to search the pressIses for his ward. The rector led he. forth and presented her ns his wife. When shown the marriage certificate, the guardian acknowledged himself beaten, and that was the end or the persecution. Borne months later, when the lady bad become of age. the rector offered to arrange for an annulment of the marriage. Tt»e annulment, however, was never applied for, and tho mar­ riage was accepted by both the parti* But that constitutes a love stucy M (Matt. �thirty 1 had retired to my ntatcroom. AUCTION!

More Reason Than Ever To Work. Now that Secretary of War Baker admits that we have almost 500.000 American soldiers in France, It will become apparent to all Red Cross workers that the output of .surgical dressings and other hospital supplies cannot be too large, for the Ameri­ can troops have taken over a sector of the French front and are most likely to be In the thick of the-fight­ ing any day, certainly as soon as the Germsns launch their expected ofensive. ' When it is remembered that some­ times a soldier has been so badly wounded as to require a whole case of surgical dressings to sar< his life, it will be seen that a reserve supply cannot be made too large, and besides, we are supplying about 4.­ 000 hospitals for the French.

Pennington, Auctioneer Chris Marshall, Clerk �Lend Uncle Sam Today 5 Years FromNow He’ll Pay You $522 N OFFERING War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stampsto the public, the United States Government presents to every man, woman and child an oppor­ tunity for profitable, simple and secure investment War Savings Stamps are “Baby Bonds.” Back of them are the entire resources of the Government and people of the United States. They enable you to invest your surplus savings in Government Securities paying equivalent to 4% compounded quarterly. You need not begin with a large amount. You can buy U. S. Government Thrift Stamps at 25c each. When you buy your first Thrift Stamp, you will be given a Thrift Card. Each Thrift Card has spaces for 16 stamps. When you have filled a Thrift Card it may be exchanged for a $5.00 War Savings Stamp at any Postoffice^JJank or other authorized agency, by add ing 14cents i n cash if exchanged prior to April 1st, 1918, and 1c additional each month thereafter. Thus a $5.00 War Savings Stamp will have cost you $4.14 (if purchased before April 1st. 1918). On January 1st, 1923, the United States Government will pay you $5.00 for each War Savings Stamp you own. (Under the law no person may hold such stamps in excess of $1,000 maturity value). If you prefer you may buy the $5.00 War Sav­ ings Stamps outright When you buy your first I War Savings Stamp, you will be given a War Savings Certificate. This has spaces for 20 stamps. Thus, when full, the certificate will have a cash value of $100.00 on January 1st, 1923. The interest paid you on War Savings Stamps is equivalent to 4% compounded quarterly, if you keep your stamps for 5 years. If you should need this money before Jan. 1st, 1923, you can get it back on ten days’ written notice with interest at approximately 3%, by presenting your War Savings Certificate, with stamps attached, at a Money Order Postoffice. The 25 cent Thrift Stamps, however, are not re­ deem able, except in exchangefor War Savings Stamps. It is the desire of the Treasury Department of the United States to have'every man, woman and child participate in the War Savings Plan by buying Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps regularly. Parents are asked to encourage children to save and buy these stamps—to help win the war! You can order War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps by mail from your nearest Postoffice. Note the coupon below. Fill it out—stating the number and kind'of stamps you want—and mail it to the nearest Postmaster. Your letter carrier will deliver the stamps and collect the amount.

What is the quaintest street name you know of in London, past or pres­ ent? It would probably be hard, re­ lates the London Chronicle, to beat Bhalllgonaked street, which, according to the late Sir Laurence Gomme’s evi­ dence before the local records com­ mittee, appears as the name of a street ta Wapping in a sewers rate book for 1748. In those days the naming of a street was not in the bands of a sedate public authority, hence the oddity of •one of these old mimes. Safe and Sound.

By the time abe reached the boat,-.her body was half submerged In the water, but McCann gave her his hind, and assist­ ed In dragging her in over the side. “I ain all right, .Mr. Hollis," ahe called In her clear, steady voice. “Now you come—come quick !" “Just’ a second more," I answered. “Here Is the Hue; haul it in. Get out your oars, McCann, and pull. Don't wait, or you’ll be sucked dowh when the yacht sinks. Never mind me; Illi Jump from the rail, and swim out to you." I climbed onto the rail, gripping an iron stanchion for support, and poised myself for the plunge. The boat, sursounded by Its little circle of light, drifted away, McCann awkwardly struggling with the heavy oars. The lantern rays fell full on the girl’s up­ turned face, and once she held out her hands in pleading gesture. It could scarcely have been r minute I hesi­ tated, yet suddenly beneath me came a sound of rending wood, a muffled ex­ plosion, and the deck reeled as though burst asunder. I leaped straight out­ ward, and went splashing down into tiie sea. I must have sunk deeply, for'I felt no swirl of the waters, no suction, but when I came again to the surface, nothing* was visible but the bobbing lantern on the dinghy. The Esmeralda had disappeared. A faint cry reached me, and I answered It. striking out strongly toward the guiding light Five minutes later, dripping and a bit ex­ hausted—for I liad been ashore a long while—I managed to clamber in over the stern. Even as I rested breathless on the thwart I realized that the girl had crept aft, and her hands sought mine. "Oh, I am so glad." she sobbed, al­ most hysterically. “I was afraid; I— I thought you went down with the yacht" “No such luck. I jumped just as her decks blew up. Is there anything In sight?" “I—I haven’t looked; but there is no sound, no light anywhere. Do you suppose the steamer has really left us?” “I have no doubt of it," I answered, but stood up so as to see about more clearly. “They supposed al! who lived had been picked up, and then continued on their course." My eyes ranger! the horizon, but I found nothing. We were alone on the great ocean in the grasp of the black night. I sat down again dazed for the instant by the immensity- of the wa­ ters, the utter loneliness, and the sud­ den realization of the littleness of this cockleshell in which we floated. Her voice aroused me to a comprehension that I alone was a sailor, and that on me depended every chance for life. “Do you know, Mr. Hollis, where we are T “Not exactly. I heard the captain I swept the lantern about, confused, and unable to locate the sound. Mc­ Cann was crouching against the. cabin, but the woman, aided by the flag locker, had crept aft, and now leaned' out over the stern rail'and was point­ ing eagerly down into the black water. I worked my’way cautiously forward to where she dung, the lantern swung overside, It? small ring of light giving me view of the whole uptllted stern. The dory, which had evidently been left trailing astern, was actually afloat, although' half filled, and her oars, jammed securely under a thwart, were still in place. The position of the vessel, the water­ logged condition of the smaller crafh tpld me at a glance the whole story. What was left of the crew of the Es­ meralda, together with those guests who had lived to attain the deck, had made their escape In the two missing boats—they would hold twenty each, and were strong and senworthy. No doubt the smashed one there had been lowered first, but the tackle jammed, and In the wreck Fosdlck had been killed. The others had clambered aboard the two left, leaving him crushed behind. The sight of the little craft, stanch and buoyant, bobbing about Just below us In the glow of light, brought back my courage. Ay, there was a chance here; we could get free of the doomed yacht; we were not to perish like" drowning rats, helplessly. To be sure, the boat was a small one, a mere dinghy Intended for use in smooth wa­ ters; why they hud continued trailing It astern so far at sea was a mystery; yet it would bear the three of us unless a storm arose. There was no time to* seek either blankets or provisions, nor was there any fresh water to be had— but at least we need not go down with the ship. We had still a hope of res­ cue, a fighting chance—God be thanked for that! My hand closed over hers as she turned and looked at me. Never In any eyes have I seen such glimpse of steady courage. “The boat is strong, stanch; she will carry ua, Mr. Hollis?" “Ay! this Is better than I dared hope. But .there is no time to lose; the yacht is settling fast—see’ those bubbles of air!

Hannemann To The American People | There u no foundation for the alleged violations of law attributed to our Com­ pany by agents of the Federal Trade Commission and I want to say emphatic­ ally that Swift & Company is not a party to any conspiracy to defraud the Govern­ ment Nor has Swift & Company been guilty of improperly storing foods or of making false entries or reports. Conferences of packers, where prices have been discussed, have been held at the urgent request and in the presence of representatives of either the Food Administration or the Council of National Defense. And yet the packers have been accused of committing a felony by acting in collusion on Government bids I We have done our best with other packers, large and small, to comply with the directions of the United States Food Administration in all particulars, including the furnishing of food supplies for the U. S. Army and Navy and the Allies, now be­ ing handled through the Food Adminis­ tration. We will continue to do our utmost,un­ der Government direction, to increase our production and assist the Food Adminis­ tration. We consider that the opportunity to co-operate whole-heartedly and to our fullest powers with this branch of the Government is our plain and most press­ ing duty. The Trade Commission Attorney has, by false inference and misplaced empha■ sis, given to disconnected portions of the" correspondence taken from our private files and read into the Record, a false and sinister meaning with the plain purpose of creating antagonistic public opinion. The services of the packers of the United States are most urgently needed, and I regret exceedingly that we should at this time have to spend our efforts in defending ourselves against unfounded, unproved, and unfair assertions such as are being daily made public. .

Conrrete as a material for gate structures American irrigation TRIS IS LABOR'S WAR. This is labor's war. No element of the people of this country,' or of other countries, would suffer more than, the workers from a German victory—a German peace. What the Germans mean- by a ."strong peace,” a "German peace," was recently expressed by Gen. Von Llebert, a leading Prussian conserviatlve. ! "For us there is but one principle [to be followed, and we recognize no [other. We hold that might is right. Wo must know neither sentiment, humanity, consideration, nor com­ passion. We must have Belgium and the north of France. France must be made to pay until she is bled white. We must have a strong peace." Mr. Gompers spoke well for Amer­ ican labor when he said: "The Republic of the United States is not perfect; it has the imperfec­ tions of the human—but It is the best country on the face of the earth and those who do not love it enough to work for It, to die for it. are not .worthy of the privilege of living in it. “I say to the Kaiser, 1 say to the Germans, in the name of the Amer­ ican labor movement: You can’t talk peace with the American work­ ers; you can’t talk peace with us; you can’t talk to us at all now. We are fighting now. Either you smash your Kaiser autocracy or we will smash it for you." The workingmen of America have a tremendous interest to serve, a vital cause to defend, a work of sur­ passing {importance to accomplish. What is vital to them is vital to Am­ erica and to the world. That they see their duty and the great mass of them are performing It with unim­ peachable loyalty Is a cause for con­ gratulation to the Nation and to the world. . THE BOOSTER. What would your town amount to I without the booster? Ever stop to । ask yourself whether you are boostling or just hanging on? j | The booster is the fellow who 'takes hold of a forlorn hope and. by ■ his cheerful optimism and bull-dog ; perseverance keeps hammering away till he accomplishes his object. Little difficulties do not trouble [the booster. He fatten- on them. He Is so red-blooded that be scorns an easy walk-over lu any undertak­ ing. He usually hunts for game worth while, and In all such hunts the difficulties are numerous and great. But he goes at them with a swill to win. and WILL is the only quality under God’s heaven that will win. • I The booster doesn’t see the faults and fallings of your town, or if he does see them, he passes '‘Ahem by with a smile and a cheerful proph­ ecy that they will soon be remedied. He sees only the bright side, and he so constantly plays up that bright side that after a while you just na­ turally come to the conclusion that it far outweighs the dark, which is very sensible of you, though you should ihave been helping him all along to i bury the dark and hold up the light ■ But don’t get it under your hat that boasting is boosting. The two ;are as widely different as daylight .and dark. The boaster is satisfied. | the booster is ever reaching out for 1 more. The boaster proudly calls at­ tention to what we HAVE, bjut the [booster calls attention to what we ■CAN have if we display sufficient j energy. The boaster lives in the [glory of the present, but the booster I Is ever looking to the future and [planning new and greater achieve­ ments. Be a booster. Get under the .load and help ”tote.’’ Ward Gribbln didnt get in many aaw logs at his new mill this winter, as he Juk wanted to give it a work­ out this season, but what few. logs he did have in he wanted to keep, so when they commenced to float away with the high tide he built himself a little raft and went out to ride herd on the derelicts. He got along all right with some of them, but one good big one seemed to persist in getting away faster than the Ir­ ishman on the raft could keep, up with It, sb he made one last despairing lunge, the raft shot out from under his feet, and only his dying grasp on the escaping 16g saved him from a watery grave. Ward wasn’t enough of a river rut to ride the log, so he got off and walked in water about up to his middle and towed the log back to a safe anchorage. And at that there are other liquids Ward likes better than water, too. Furthermore, what business has a single man helping to buy a layette foe an expected addition to the cen­ sus?

Washington is a hard place to pry anything loose from now?a-days, Billy. Even Information of any kind in regard to the war comes bard.

Is your dpty any less imperative, any less.sacred, because it is your neighbor’s boy who is defending your country, your flag and youi home from German frightfulnecs on the other side of the ocean? Is it not a splendid privilege as well as a duty to deny yourself luxuries, to save food, save clothing, above all to save money, for our soldiers? U. S. Thrift Stamps Save Lives and Shorten the War There is one thing you can do, every day, to help the Government provide th® guns, ammunition, food, clothing and other supplies which our soldiers and sailors MUST HAVE to win the war, win it quickly, and come safely home again. Go today to any bank, any postoffice, or any store where you see the W. S. S. (War Savings Stamps) sign displayed. For 25 cents you will receive a U. S. Thrift Stamp and a card to paste it on. The card has spaces for 16 stamps, costing you $4. When it is full, exchange it—with a few cents additional in cash—for a War Savings Stamp, for which the Government will pay $5 January 1, 1923. These War Savings Stamps are as safe as U. S. Bonds. They are the safest investment in the world because they are backed by the entire resources of the country, and the profit you make on them amounts to four per cent interest, compounded quar­ terly, if held till January 1, 1923. Buy a U. S. Thrift Stamp with every quarter you can possibly save. Every stamp helps to stamp out autocracy. Every stamp saves priceless American blood. Every stamp is a blow for Liberty. Every stamp will help bring peace to the world—< perma­ nent peace, grounded in justice and righteousness. WS.S.

I called to him, but he paid no atten­ tion ; there was considerable noise then, and he might not have heard me." Vera was leaning forward listening. “Did Mr. Seeley leave In the boats?" she asked. "Was he hurt?" I tried to stop him from answering by a gesture of my hand, but the man was gazing out over the port quarter, and saw nothing. “Seeley—the second mate? No, he didn't get away. The same spar that got me. caught him, and he never spoke after that; seemed like a nice fellow, too.” Her face was like marble in the lamp­ light. “He was killed!

The Monarch battery is more full guaran­ teed than any other battery made. It gives a high discharge rate for a longer period and main­ tains its voltage better. It will give your electric starter quicker action and spin your engine long­ er than any other battery made, size for size.

LOUN CRY CORRESPONDENCE I Worth Fighting For HALL this little girl grow up in the sort of American home we know, healthy and happy? Shall she have the advantage of living and learning in a free land, under free in­ stitutions ? Shall such children develop into the Liberty-loving citizens that a free America may be proud of? - S For over two hundred years Americans have fought valiantly, and died gallantly, to win for themselves and hand down to their posterity the blessings of liberty, justice, self-government and equal opportunity. This precious heritage, bought at so great a price, is now threatened. The question which today confronts America ' as a nation, and you as an individual, is • whether or not a free America is worth fighting for Are American children in this and all future generations to receive unimpaired the legacy of freedom of which we are now the custodians, or shall their country be turned over bodily to the brutal, rapacious, power-mad enemy which has forced us into this war? This question cannot be answered by word of mouth, but by deeds alone. ^Let Your Answer Be Your Investment LIBERTY BONDS! Len W.

I Destruction of Civilization This is in grim reality what we are fighting this war to prevent. The club pictured above—from an actual official photograph—might be the weapon of a- savage cave man of five thousand years ago. It is in fact the weapon with which Ger­ man soldiers finish off the enemy wounded who have fallen on the battlefield — on the battlefield on which American boys are fighting. There is only one answer to make to such methods the defeat of the German Armies. America has taken up the sword to give that answer. Our Army is in France to help win this war on the battlefield —that civilization may be safe, that America may be safe. You Can Have Your Share in America’s Answer to German Savagery The Third Liberty Loan is your opportunity. It is the most direct blow that can be struck at German military supremacy. It is the most powerful aid that can be given our soldiers in France. It means rifles and helmets and gas masks—the best protection for our men from German brutality. It means big guns and shells and airplanes-and VICTORY. Invest TODAY in bonds of the Third Liberty Loan, and save the lives of American soldiers. >n, Save America, Your i ' .• ( . ‘ C. L.

TOWNSEND THE UNIVERSAL CAR MONARCH Storage Batteries We have been very fortunate in securing the service station for the Monarch Storage BsUery, which is arousing so much interest among motor­ ists. The Monarch battery is more full guaran­ teed than any other battery made. It gives a high discharge rate for a longer period and main­ tains its voltage better. It will give your electric starter quicker action and spin your engine long­ er than any other battery made, size for size. There is a Monarch battery of correct shape, size, voltage and capacity for every make and model of car, and for every starting and lighting system which is or ever has been in general use. It will pay you well to replace your battery with a Monaroh. J. C. HURD LOCAL AGENT Glad He’s an Exception.

A man with a crust like that for a hide, when his country is at war. and needs every pound pf wheat, ought to be made to deliver his wheat free to the gov-' ernment and not to .have another nartlcle of wheat or wheat products to eat until the war is endid.

The uh? of torture in order to elicit Information from iteraona. accused of crime, barbarous as it lx, was little practiced before mediaeval times. Un­ der Greek and Roman law torture was only allowed upon bla res. though in the latter dayi of the empire it was em­ ployed against free citizens if they bad been accused at treason to the em|>erur It seems to have become imrt of the law in Europe about the thirteenth cen­ tury. From the fourteenth century downward torture was a part of the legal system of most Euroj>ean coun tries. The Italian municipalities used it to a very large extent. In' Germany elaborate apparatus existed for its In­ fliction in the dungeons of the feudal castles and tn the town balls of the ddea. .' ■ It was used in the prisons of Ger­ many when the philanthropist Howard visited them in 1770. In France it was part of the law until abolished by the revolution, ahd In Scotland it was used until the reign of Queen Anne. The use of torture seems never to have been wholly sanctioned by the law of Eng­ land, although it was used frequently by order of the king in the Tudor pe­ riod. The royal council claimed the power of directing torture warrants against state prisoners in the tower, and under'James 1, and Charles I. tor­ ture was resorted to in state trials.— Chicago Herald. AN OVERWORKED WORD. This Writer Suggests That “Very” Be Given a Long Rest. There is u word that once possessed a vigor mid a power that is altogether lost. “Verily, verily"—“in truth, in truth." Now It is “very.” and, though it still means “In truth," it has become so weakened by usage that it conveys no force whatever. You meet men on the street and any. "It is a very fine day." What do you mean? Probaby you mean, “How do you do?" What you bare said Is sim­ ply a salutation. But if you should say to me, "It is a fine day,” you prob­ ably mean it is a fine day. That little word “very" has been so weakened, so frayed at the edges, that it. harms rather than heliw its companions. So, gentle reader, I would say to you If I had arbitrary power over your speech. "This week I will allow you only two •veries,’/’ and, though for a time such restraint may make you self conscious, yet It will force you to grope about for musty treasures In tbe store­ house of your memory and furblab up old adjectives and adverbs, even drive you uow' and again to a careful ap­ praisal of your best slang, and when this temporary self consciousness shall pass not only your vigor of speech, but your exactitude and clarity of thought will be the better for it.

' Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are state­ ments of fact—proven facts. . “Most Miles Per Gallon” “Most Miles on Tires” They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath. For example: The famous 22,Q00-mile Non-Stop run was made with the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A- A. Ac officials. That still remains a world's record—the world’s record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world’s long distance speed record. Maxwell Motor Cars Touring Car . . 8 825 Roadster................ 825 Touring, with All­ Weather Top . . 935 5- Paw.

Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! __ । And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans­ continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance?. _ Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going. And—listen to this'. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the seal. • • Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the 44 flays and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers. How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning— especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell. • Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a climb—wasn’t it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Knights of'Pythias. Ivy Lodge, No. 37, K. of P., Nash­ ville, Michigan.

And under actual average driving conditions—not laboratory test. But that isn't all. The greatest achievement pf this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relia­ bility and economy all in the same run. In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. thown in that �[fboy Garllngrr.

Naturally none of us would now prefer to have our meat raw, our po­ tatoes as they come from the ground, our coffee unroasted. . And naturally follows the great dis­ covery’ recently made by The Ameri­ can Tobacco Co.—that tobaccotastes better TOASTED! This wonderful new idea—simple like all great inventions—■ was first used in producing the famous LUCKY STRIKE Cigarette—made of toasted Burley tobacco. Burley has a mellow flavor, entirely different from the tobacco usually used for cigarettes. It is a pipe to­ bacco and LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes taste like a pipe. 3 For Car Satisfaction BUY A DODGE America’s Most Satisfactory Medium Priced Car Service”work will be done by " CLAUDE PERRY If in want of a car, call or write L.

We remember only a few years ago when Mike struck Nashville. He had been over from Italy but a few weeks and had just a smattering of English. He set up a little fruit and candy store here, with an Investment of about a hun­ dred dollars. But - he attended to business and he made that hundred dollars grow. Now he has a splendid business at Greenville, has three brothers in with him,, has a big store and is himself on the road selling and distributing, has his own big car, a healthy bank account, and Is recog­ nised ae one of the solid citizens of Greenville. When he left here he sold'his business to Chas. Diamante, who has become one of the substan­ tial citizens of Nashville and has a splendid business, has bought liber­ ally of Liberty Bonds, and has a fat bank account with which to ’buy more when the next issue is offered, is raising a fine family, and has be­ come a full-fledged American citizen, one of whom wo are all proud. Tak­ ing these things Into consideration, wouldn’t It make you have a pain to hear an American boy complain that there are "no opportunities." Billy Justus has been having an awful run of luck lately for a newly married man. F'r Instance, the other day he was coming to town with a load of bay, and the load was pretty high, too, to compare with other things nowadays, and he didn't no­ tice how low the electric street light hung on the wires at Knoll's corners until the first thing he knew that light swatted him in the face and marked him up like a ten round con­ test tor points. He went right to the mat with that contrivance, but Just the same he got all the worst of it. Then Bunday one of his colts got out in the front yard and he went out to drive him into the barn-yard where well-brought-up colts are supposed to stay on Sunday. The colt had a no­ tion of his own about it and acted like there was better feed in the front yard, so Billy had to' resort to some­ thing besides moral suasion. He picked up a rock about the size of an egg and heaved it at the colt, but his control wgs about as poor as Wee Willie Mitchell’s was Ln that game Detroit played with St. Louis Monday, and instead of driving the colt away he heaved tho rock through the big front window and nearly scared his wife Into a spasm. Now he is hunt­ ing for a horse shoe or a rabbit's foot or some sort of a charm to change his luck. Otto Schulze certainly does love his pigs. That's probably one rea­ son why he Is so successful In raising them and gets such long prices for them from breeders who are anxious to get the best. Why, Otto loves those pigs so much he just can hard­ ly bear to part with them. One day last week he shipped one by express, and after loading the animal, all nicely crated, Into the express car, be climbed Into the car for one last iQfg lingering look and a parting caYess, and Just then tho darned train pulled out at so lively a clip that Otto didn't have the opportunity to get off and had to walk back from Vermontville. But that gave him a good opportunity to say another fond farewell to the pig. tidings reached the metropolis that the requirements. - Dad Pratt broacht a saw aaas, tor" thia nock o’ th. wood, home with him Edith Parka and Elisabeth Smith from Fiorlda and la tntrodncln, It to had a half holiday Friday. tho boya.

Sometimes we doubt whether we have our troupe under the rigid control which as parents we might expect to com­ mand. The ponductlrlty of an orches­ tra, says our sou Geoffrey, varies with the distance of the blood relationship between artists and conductor. When the children were little we held the pleasant theory that a family orchestra would draw us all close together, stand­ ing always as a symbol of our perfect harmony. That would be all right if the harmony would only go to suit us all equally at the same time. As it is our little band.

Mount Athos, in Turkey, was the spot contemplated by a sculptor for the moat imposing monument that man had eT er bad. The sculptor Dlnocrates offered to cut the huge mountain mass into the form of e statue of Alexander which should bold a city in tho left hand and in the right a basin to re­ ceive all the waters that flowed from the mountain. Alexander was much taken by the plan, but rejected it for the practical reason that there was'not food enough in the district to feed the inhabitants of the proposed town. Bo the canal cut by Xerxes to enable the ships to es­ cape sailing round the mountain re­ mained the greatest enterprise ever achieved there.

And that, in the 44 day, non-stop test, the Maxwell covered 22,022 miles, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. But have you, up to now, realized the full significance of that performance? Do you know that no other motor car in the world has ever equalled or even approached that performance? In a word, did you take this test seriously when you heard of it? Or did you set it down as a “selling stunt” to give the publicity man something to talk about? • • It's worth ^our while to read and to study the conditions under which that test was made. You know that the American Automobile Association (familiarly known as the “A.A.A.”) is the official arbiter of every automobile test and contest. “But perhaps you didn't know that when a maker places his product under A.A.A. supervision he must do absolutely as told and abide by the decisions of the Board. That’s why there are so few A.A. A. Official Records! This 22,000-mile Maxwell non-stop test was official from start to finish. Therein lies its value to you. -■ It proves absolutely the quality of the car^ofthe very Maxwell you buy. For verily this Was a “stock” Maxwell. Listen:— First: the inspectors disassembled the motor to see that no special pistons, valves, bearing-metal or other parts had been used. Every other unit was as critically inspected. Then the car was re-assembled under their own supervision. » ' As we had much at stake and the test was made in winter (November 23 to January 5) we asked permission to take certain little precautions against acci­ dental stoppage. Sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? But they refused permission to do any such thing. For example:—They would not permit a rubber cover over the magneto—it wasn’t “stock.” They refused to let us tape the ignition wire terminals—they are not taped on the Maxiveils we sell—so of course it wasn't “stock.” Neither would they let us use a spiral coiled pipe in place of the usual straight one from tank to carburetor to guard against a breakage from the constant, unremitting vibration—it isn’t “stock.” Nor to use a special high priced foreign make of spark plug—the run was made on the same spark plugs with which all Maxwells are equipped. So rigid were the rules, we were unable to carry a spare tire on the rear—it wasn’t “stock.” A telegram to headquarters in New York finally brought a special permit to carry a spare tire. “It isn’t stock!” “It isn’t stock!” That was the laconioreply of those A.A.A. inspectors to every last suggestion that called for anything but the precise condition of the standard, stock model Maxwell that any customer can buy from any one of 3000 dealers anywhere. We are glad now—mighty glad—that the rules were so strict and so rigidly enforced. Any other car that ever attempts to equal that record must do it under official supervision—and comply with the same terms. And it will have to go some. For Maxwell set the’ standard when it performed this wonderful feat. Maxwell complied with those rules^-and made good. Every drop of gasoline and oil and water was measured out and poured in by the inspectors themselves. They would not even let our man pour it in I Every four hours the car had to report at the official station for checking. And it had to be there on the minute. And every minute there was an inspector beside the driver on the front seat— two more men in the rear. One got out only to let .another in—day and night for 44 days and nights! • • There was one technical stop. It is interesting to know the circumstances. Dead of night—a driving storm—a cloudburst—suddenly another car appearer) in the road ahead. In his effort to avoid a collision the Maxwell driVer stalled his motor. At least the observers thought it stopped and so reported. The car did not stop, however, so its momentum again started the motor (if it had indeed stalled) when the dutch was let in. The contest board exonerated our driver on grounds that his action was neces­ sary to save life. , That shows you how rigid were the rules—how conscientiously applied by the observers. You who have owned and driven motor cart—you who know how small a thing may clog a carburetor or a feed pipe; “short” a spark or stall a motors—will realize what a wonderfully well made car this must be to go through that test tinder those conditions 44 days—22A122 miles without stopping. The exact amount of gasoline, of oil, of water used; the tire mileage, tire troubles, tire changes; the distance and the route, are matters of official record.

Reason was, they rounded a street corner with the Ford just as a street car rounded it going the other way, and the street car was a better man than the Ford, which was piled up away over at the side ot the street.

No sooner had we satisfied him that there was nothing ..felonious about to happen and gotten rid ot him, than another good citizen, on his way to work, saw lights at the office and heard a Ford engine idling at the front door. He knew robbers were there, but made up his mind he wouldn't tackle them alone, so he went for help. When they got back to the office the lights were out and the car gone? and they heard the car "beating it" out of town, so they investigated and found the office door unlocked. That did settle it and they made a bee line for the editor’s house, where they were informed what was in the air and de­ cided that everything was all Tight.

He was mar­ ried to Amelia VanVleet on February 10, 1859, and moved from Richland county, Ohio, In 1862 to Maple Grove and settled on *his present farm, which had been hjs home for 55 year*- To this union -were bom 9 children, fpur sons and five daugh­ ters. He suffered the loss ot his wife four years tago. He leaves to mourn their loss two sons and three daughters, fifteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, also many other relatives and friends. Detroit on Wednesday, May 15th, 1918. The business session will be­ gin at 2:00.p. m. The report is absolutely unfound­ ed and ha* no basis whatever. How 'it started, or by whom, we do not know, but it the originator of the propaganda can be ~found, he or she ' —.<11 U ----------In the*® days people must be very careful In what-they say, as well as' ‘what they do. It Is very possible that this report might have been the work of someone in sympathy with the German Kaiser to frighten people against the use of substitute* In mak­ ing War bread. It stands to reason that If the people of this country used nothing but pure wheat flour In making bread there would not. be enough wheat flour left to feed our soldiers, or the soldiers of our alies who are fighting for us. The boys who are doing our fighting for us * ov­ er there", be they allied soldiers or Americans, are entitled to the very best we can give them. And if con­ ditions should develop, as they may. whereby bur President, or those In authority, ask us to use even more substitutes than we are now using, we are sure that every loyal, redblooded lover of America stands ready and willing to comply. Any little sacrifice that we are asked to make in comparison with the supreme sacriflce'that every boy is asked tex make when called to the colors. Is .so piti­ fully small that no one can hesitate. We all ought to be glad to make some little sacrifice whenever and however we may be asked to do so by those in authority, resting assured that nothing will be asked of us that isn’t necessary. And whenever we think of the war-ridden countries of Belgium, France, Serbia. Poland, Roumania and others, we ought to thank God every day that the awful­ ness of this war is not visited upon us—as it will be some day if we and our allies are not successful. Now in regard to the reports con­ cerning the cause of the death of lit­ tle Lorina Lover, the Banner is in possession of the original copies of the following statements signed by the parents of the little one, and the doctors who performed the autopsy, all of them showing that the eating of War bread had nothing whatever tb do with the little girl’s death.

Quick In these ’.days of transportation worries, the recent performance of a Maxwell truck, owned and operat­ ed by the Lafayette Provision Com­ pany of Jersey City, N. J., is of spec­ ial interest and import. The record made by this truck was the result of a strict cost inquiry made, over a period of several weeks; by the owner and the figures, it is believed, set an economy mark which will stand for a long time. The Maxwell truck is used in gen­ eral delivery work by this retail pro­ vision firm and averages 80 miles each day making, during that time, no fewer than 110 stops. An accurate account was kept ot ■ the gasoline necessary for each, daily delivery tour- and it was found that this pro­ duct of Maxwell efficiency made Its daily trip with Its multitude of stops on less than 4 galloi s of gas. An average of id miles to the gallon with 110 stops. It Is a well known fact that the necessary stopping and starting - con­ sequent on making deliveries to 110 customers use up more gas, by a con­ siderable amount, than a straight­ away "drive of much greater distance. Yet, this Maxwell truck is plodding over heights of Jersey City dally, with a capacity load and making it* twenty miles to each gallon. So pleased are the owners of this economical truck that, In a letter to the Maxwell distributor from whom they purchased it, they express a de­ sire to be referred to by prospective buyers. This latest performance strength­ ens the impression of value to ■ be gained from a perusal of other marks made by the Maxwell truck— all of them pointing to splendid rec­ ords for endurance, economy and allaround efficiency. ThC bare fact that President Wil­ son has asked Congress for author­ ity to raise an army of four millions of men, should strike some^efiplO In this country with a severe jolt. ‘‘Oh. it will sdbn be over," or "I hope it will end soon," has been the burden ot the song of tbe would-be slacker. With it he attempts to get by in his pitiful evasion of the calls of his gov­ ernment for the unstinted support son*. of loyal sons. President Wilson would never call for such an army bad he the least hope that the end was in sight. We have been assdsed by the Allied leaders that our strength must be, thrown into the tray before victory can even be hop­ ed for. And with the calling of this immense force, the companion call will go out for those left at home to sustain these armies in the field. Our sons, our brothers, husbands and fathers are going "over there”. Mark well tbe man or the woman who seeks jby any pretext to escape bis or her just share of responsibility for their I support. Yes, the hour has arrived {when we must include tbe womien in । this grave responsibility. No one who can by any possible means con­ tribute has now the right to lag be­ hind.

This। custom had prevailed hi the village of Kernstown for many long years. There’ was one exception to it, however, and (hat wa» the cake of Elder Wlcksbaw mid his wife. He tihd been elder of a church since a church had been estab­ lished In the place, and be bad long been known for bls stinginess. The elder's wife would have been open banded with the neighbors, but her busband bad said to her: “If we have got any neighbors who haven’t CQWcumbers, onions and toma­ toes in plenty it is due to their shift­ lessness and they shan’t bare any of ours.” "But they are going to waste,” would reply the wife. . “No, they ain’t They will enrich the soil for another season. Even if they won’t I am not going to encour­ age sWftlessness In anybody.” Among those whom he denominated as shiftless was Solomon Graves. He wasn’t exactly lazy, but yet be might have bad more energy. He had a small garden, but It was hostile soil. He passed and repassed the elder’s house many, many times, and always stop­ ped and looked over the fence, but the elder never came out-and Invited him to help himself. At length, when Solo mon saw that things were going to waste, he determined to help h|msclf without the invitation.' In walking In the garden at sunset one evening the elder particularly no tlccd six lame cucutnl>ers on a certain vine. Bp walked out again noon after sunrise and there were no cucumbers there. In place of them. In the soft soil. wer6 the tracks of the villain who bad visited the spot during the night and despoiled the vine. He hastened Into the house to say to his wife: ' “Marlar, there is an unhung villain in Kernstown." “Good gracious!” she exclaimed, with a start of surprise. “And that unhung villain entered our garden during the night and picked and carried away six of our choicest -cowcumbers." And after a hasty breakfast the elder took the trail so plain In the soil and followed it ever the fence Into the alley and from there to the . bouse of Solo mon Graves, a quarter of a mile away. in ten mhintes more he was nt the bouse of the Justice of the pence for the village, one Hiram Brown, before whom two lawsuits bad been tried in about eight yeapi. He felt all the dig­ nity. however, of his official position and was not to be gainsaid as to legal points. “Judge," said the elder as he entered In baste. “Solomon Graves hns stolen six cowcumbers from my garden. 1 want n warrant for his arrest, and I want him sent to Jail before, sundown." When the warrant had been filled out his honor banded It over to the elder to read, and It wa* but a moment before the latter exclaimed: “Here, judge: this won’t do. I told you Solomon Graves had stolen six cowcumbers out of my garden." “But the warrant says so.” “But you “haven’t spelled It right. You haven’t got the cowcumbers In at all. What you have got Is ’kucumbers, ’ when it should be cowcumbers. You can't bold Sol on a warrant like that " “Look here, elder.” said, the judge as be rose up and puffed out bls boMitn. ’’have you come here to teach me how to spell or to get a warrant for Solo mon Graces?" “But you probably made a slip of the pen,” lamely explained the man whe wanted Justice. “There are no slips tn my law, air." “But they are cowcumbers.” “1 never heard of such things- As for kucumbers. 1 have a^ hundred In my own garden.

Yule is an Anglo-Saxon word for Christmas, hence Yuletide, meaning Christmas time, and the yule log which used to be piled on the hearth for the making of a big, cheerful fire. The yule log was thought to bring good fortune and bits of its charred re­ mains were saved to start the next year's Christmas fire with. But that was before the days of furnaces or baseburners. »1W Reward, $100 The readers of thia paper will bo pleased to learn that there la at least one dreaded disease that science has influenced by constitutional conditions requires constitutional treatment.

April 17. 131«. Dear Friend Fike:-— . I received a letter from Mize Ros­■ coe a few days ago and she said youi were inquiring for my address. II have been thinkiflg of writing to youi for a long time but thought 1 wouldI wait until I could get a little “dough."’ I have decided not to wait any longer• as it has been seven months since 1I received any pay and do not know when I will get any, as my servicei record Is not here and don't know1 when it will be: Let this be a warn­• ing to the boys at home. If youi leave your company be sure the ser­ vice record goes with you/ I left dear old Michigan a year J ago the twelfth' of this month and have not had a look at it since. ~I landed in Columbus, Ohio, the 13th‘ and raised my hand and said “I yrill" the 14th. I had it easy there, with only a half hour of calisthenics and breathing exercises during the six days 1 was there. Then 1 was sent to the 4th U. S. Inf., Co. I„ at Brownsville, Texas, and It was there that I began real training. I remain­ ed- in training there until the last of May, when our regiment was sent to Gettysburg, Pa. When we reached Gettysburg, our camp was an open field with plenty of monuments in sight. We slept in dog tfnta, with the rain spilling plen­ ty of water Around us. The next day we started putting up our squad tents which we slept in until we left. In August 1 was transferred to the 1st Provisional-battalion, later known as the Training battalion, 18th Inf. I was in the Machine Gun Co. here, but worked in the Bn. Quartermaster Supply until the battalion left Get­ tysburg. I was taken to the hospi­ tal at Hoboken with the mumps. It was at this time that I lost my ser­ vice record, and have not seen it or the battalion since. I came out of the hospital Decem­ ber 10, and was sent to Camp Mer­ ritt. From there I came to France with the mixed casuals. 1 floated in France until March 16, when 1 was assigned to this battalion. The trip across was as pleasant as could be expected, considering the number on the ship. The first morn­ ing the world would not stand still, and I lost my breakfast;, also the second day my dinner. Thereafter I was careful to get out in the fresh air as ihuch as possible, especially after eating. We had only one very rough day. The sun was shining most of the time and we could stay out on deck without any overcoat on, except for getting a free bath from the ocean. We wore our rain coats most or the time, unless it was very calm. The houses here are built with fire places. There are very few stoves, and all 1 have seen are about the size of an oil heater and very unhandy. Last Wednesday Is the first, time I have had a hot water bath since I have been in France, so the boys want to stock up before they come. They are getting more such neces­ sities here now. . We have returned from our first hitch in the trenches, and have had a few queer feelings from high explo­ sive shells. They have never come very close to me. but close enough so 1 could hear the whiz of the shells and fell a little of the force ot the explosion from the air percussion. It is hard to explain the feeling we have. We feel lost without the sound of bursting shells, and tear does not last but a few moments when we hear the shells coming toward us and when they burst. Airplanes are act­ ive on both sides on clear and part­ ly clear days. Nearly every night we were in the trenches the star shells and snipers would keep us company. We only had one light gas attack, but it was enough to give us good prac­ tice. That is one thing we do not joke about. When we hear some­ one holler “gas", we know what it-is for. It is bed time, and I am on K. P. tomorrow—that is kitchen police, and consists ot helping the cooks get the chow ready, also washing dlsh- word from Pershing. "The thing most needful to the American fighting forces overseas Is anything and everything that will contribute to the morale of the men in service." That means that a worried soldier is a Weak soldier, and uniees the folks back home are "doing well" he will worry. It l» the busin ess of the Home Service section to keep the home folks happy. Here is an example of ' home service work. A white-haired old lady timidly entered the office ot the Home Service depart­ meat. She was the mother of a boy recently called to the colors. She was puzzled and worried. Her son had taken out 110,000.00 insurance for her, but the policy had not come through. She thought it lost, and it anything happened to the boy------ . But the secretary quickly assured her that her son had a certificate—a sort of a receipt, -and that even if that were lost the application wqs record­ ed and in case of disability or death the government would see tp it that the pensions were paid. The old woman left the office hap­ py in knowing that the country her son served was not unmindful of her well-being." From a letter from C. L. Moss, Co. D., l»th Eng. (Ry.). A- E. F., to his uncle, Noah Moss, 3942 Thomas street, Chicago. .

Twenty-one of the fifty complete base hospitals organized by the Amer­ ican Red Cross are already in service in France. Nearly 9,000 nurses enrolled by the American Red Cross are now in ser­ vice. Twenty-five thousand nurses will be needed. More than 27,000,000 surgical dressings have been sent to France and Flanders since April, 1917, by the American Red Cross. A school for lace making and a lace factory have been established at Re­ mini, Italy, by the American Red Cross to give work to refugees and soldiers* families. To keep aged parents and grand­ parents of Italian soldiers at Venice comfortable, the "American Red Cross distributed in three days some 1.200 suits of warm underclothing.

SUBMARINES NOW ■M EUROPEAN WATERS One Showing of Different Reels Wifi Bo Given In Each Town and City Throughout the State. Lansing. Mich. Mid —Tho United State* moving pictures government war w which are now making the rounds of the state, under the auspices of the War 'Preparedness Board, are making quite a distinct hit The entry of the government and the state into the moving picture business has so far proven quite a success. More sue. cess is predicted as soon as the actual pictures of the boys overseas, which are now being filmed in Washington, for Inspection by the government of­ ficials, begin to come through for re­ lease in Michigan. As fast as the different sets of reels can be routed Into the smaller places In the state, they are being shown. The state is a big one, ahd there •are over. 700 moving picture houses tn the state, these being located In prac­ tically 500 cities and towns. One showing will be given in each city and town, at least and consequently it must be understood that the pic­ tures cannot bob up in every place at once. Requests for the films for showing made to state headquarters, have all been referred to the chair man of the County War Preparedness Committees, who will have charge of the routing in each of the coun­ ties. In,the various places where the pic­ tures have been so far shown. It has been __ very noticeable that the au­ diences have been much interested in the films giving details of the two comparatively unknown weapons of the United States—the submarines and the torpedo boat destroyers. Ex­ cellent films showing the complete movements and machinery of these wo types of Hun fighters are in the <et now being exhibited, and In every •nse. the audiences have paid particu­ lar attention to them. I Only a few days ago, the official anf ouncement was made at Washington i hat American submarines had crosspd the Atlantic ocean and were now attached to Vice Admiral Sims’ fleet In the war zone.’ This announcement In. Itself was somewhat of a surprise to most people of the country, and to many in Michigan most of all. for the ’simple reason that the govern­ ment press agents have never men­ tioned much about the American sub­ marines. In these days of submarines, the I'ery use of the word seems to con. I’ey only reference to the death deal­ ing. murderous ma'chines operated by the Huns In the war. tone, whose ev­ ery Is so un-civillzed like that the average American wants to go out and eooimll murder whenever he reads about them. But It must not be forgotten that the American navy has submarines—just as good in their own lines, as those owned by the Huns. They have now been taken overseas in order that they may be available for Vice Admiral Sims whenever he needs them to put an ■»»nd to a section of the Imperial Ger. man Navy, something which every­ body hopes is not far distant. As -shown In the films of the War Preparedness Board, these American submarines do almost everything'lipaginable in. the water. . They sub­ merge while going at high rate of speed, one section of the film show­ ing an American sub going under the water while bitting it bp ab a rate of 35 miles an hour. Many people will. no doubt be surprised to learn that submarines can travel at that rate, to say nothing of performing the miracle of submerging while go­ ing that fast. According . to Vice Admiral Sima, who is the flrat American naval offi­ cer tb carry the Stars and Stripes into the war zone, the torpedo boat de­ stroyer Is th© greatest weapon the United States can get In a recent letter to the president of the Bethle­ hem shipbuilding company, which lx manufacturing destroyers for the navy,. Admiral Sima, tn requesting hurry, used this significant lan­ guage: "Do the men who actually build the boats understand how vitally im­ portant is the speed of building? Do they understand that we will win or lose according to whether we beat the submarine or it beats us?* Do they uadeiptand that we must depend chiefly upon destroyers to defeat the submarine? Do they understand that on this side torpedo boat destroyers are worth their weight in gold?” One film which is being shown bay to do entirely with the work of the destroyer. Its practicability, its use­ fulness. and Its methods are all ex plained. And above all. Vice Admiral 81ms. the naval officer who now pleads for more destroyers In order that he cm compete with the sub marine.

With a command to find out what Goodrich Tires do on the roads of every section of our country, and what the roads of every section do to Goodrich Tires, Goodrich sent its famous Six Fleets of over forty cars, light and heavy, the length and breath of our nation to an aggregate mileage of 1,044,686 linear miles, and 4,178,744 tire miles.

The United States Department of agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets for his cattle "approxi­ mately two-third* to three-fourth*" of the final retail price paid by the con­ sumer for the resulting beef. Under normal conditions,the farmer’s share of retail prices >f various farm products is approximately as follows: Butter CATTLE Egg» Potatoes Poultry Fruit* 71 per cent 66% to 75 per cent 65 per cent 55 per cent x 45 per cent 35 per cent The difference between farmer’s price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and whole­ sale and retail distribution. Swift & Company not only performs the manufacturing operations of pre­ paring cattle for market in its wellequipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. Au this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about «/4 of a cent per pound of beef. Large-volume of business and expert management, make possible this indis­ pensable service to the live-stock raiser and to the consumer, and make possible the larger proportion erf retail price* received by fanner*.

Last Wednesday afternoon, as John Mater's 15-year-old son was driving a heavy load of wood to town, and while going down Clark's hill, north of the village, a portion of the load fell off onto the horses heels, carry­ ing the boy with it. The horses started on a terrible gait, the plucky fellow clinging to the tongue. The situation was-extremely perilous. He was within a few inches of the kick­ ing heels of the runaway horses and the wood constantly dropping off.A couple of men endeavored to stop the runaways but were unsuccessful. Finally the axle broke, just as the boy's strength was giving out, and boy and wood went down In one com­ mon heap, the wagon going over him. The men expected to see only the lifeless form of the boy, but were happily disappointed, for ho immed­ iately, jumped up and announced himself unhurt. The team after run­ ning some distance were stopped.

OK PUBLIC INSTRUCTION KEELER NAMES DETROIT MAN TO HEAD MICHIGAN OR­ GANIZATION. Strenuous Efforts Needed to Get Mich Igan Out of Stamp Slump. State Close to ths Bottom Lansing, June L—Hon, Fred L. Ker ler, superintendent of public iustruc tion. has been commissioned by the War Savings Board of the United States treasury to institute a war sav­ ing stamp campaign among the school children of Michigan. The program as outlined by the school leaders has already produced excellent results but ths vacation period, now at han3, means extra effort if Michigan is to come anywhere near making Its quota of $70,000,900 by January next. “The state has been a leader In all work, official and charitable, with the exception of buying the little war stamp," said Mr. Keeler. Michigan’s feeble response to this activity has been such that the school officials were^appealed to organize a systema­ tic drive among the schools. DETROIT MAN HEADS DRIVE. Mr. Keeler named Edward L. Miller of Detroit, president of the Michigan State Federation of Teacherq' clubs to organize the drive and he has been meeting with splendid success, through the personal co.-operatlon of practically the entire school organi­ zation of the state. ' The sales of stamps by school children have tent up the Michigan^ average but even thh campaign has not, as yet, put the state where it belongs in this war ac­ tivity. The main feature ot thu-cam­ paign are outlined in the first three paragraphs of the official circular is­ sued by Mr. Keeler and are ra fol­ lows: "Uncle Sam must have raised on January 1, 1919, at least two billions of dollars by the sale of War Savings Certificates. Michigan’s share Is 170,000.000. Since December 1, 1917, Michigan has taken $1,800,000. Among the states Michigan stands today in forty-seventh place. Uncle Sam Is alarmed. at these facts. He now re­ quests the schools of the state to save the day for Michigan. "We are requested, first, to con. tinue and intensify the sale of War stamps to children, and, second, to carry it through them into every nook and cranny of the state. There is no limit to tbe field of our activity. Sub­ scriptions of all sizes from 25 cents to 1.000 dollars are wanted. : "This task, however, in comparison I with the Liberty Loan work is simpie.

"That’s for you to decide; tt*s my advice to you not to take the chance." I could scarcely believe he meant this; the proposition was so abso­ lutely heartless, so cold-blooded. I could hardly associate It even* with Fergps McCann. Surely he was not tn reality the utter villain he now coolly professed hlmseif. My eyes left his face, and sought Liverpool, who was leering at me Ln drunken gravity. "Is this true, Red? Have you' fel­ lows held council?" "Some ov us have," he said sullenly. "Jim Dugan, Simms and me, we talked it all over with Mr. McCann here, an’ agreed what wus best That’s why the two ov us come ter see you." “Unless I consent to sign a report showing your desertion of tbe ship justified, you propose to sink the In­ dian Chief?" “You an’ Bascom—both ov yer." . “And if we do sign—what then?" "You’ll sail us within fifty miles or the nearest open port, and we’ll take to the boats, and leave you to be picked up.” “You’d report our condition ashore?" “Nothin’ was said about thaL Yer drift would be southard, an* would soon bring yer In the track o’ ships; besides there's enough left ter handle the sails ter give tbe hooker steerage way. We, figured we’d be safe unless there was a big storm.” It was certainly a cold-blooded prop­ osition, but the fellow’s tone was so matter-of-fact I no longer doubted this to be their final decision. I played my last card." “See here, Red," and I drew a paper from the drawer of the desk. “Do you fellows realize the value of this ship, and the cargo below hatches?” “We don’t give a darn." “Well, you better, for it’s a tidy little sum. Now, see here—Hl pledge the crew fifty thousand dollars, to be divided as you choose. If you will dock the Indian Chief at Hamburg." • “Who’ll pay Itr “The owner, within ten days of land­ ing." "An’ if we get snapped up by an English or French cruiser on the way over, all we’d ever get would be, a jail. That sorter plan don’t make no hit with me nor my mates. We’ve talked it all over." McCann struck the desk with his fisL Impatient at the discussion. “Your price is too low, Hollis. This Is no piker’s game. Red knows it Is worth more than fifty thousand to me McCann grasped hla sleeve. "Let up on that. Red,” he said abort* ly, his voice having a tone of com­ mand in it, which surprised me. “We didn't come here to beat Hollis up, but to talk with him. This is my game." The other did not resist, only to mutter behind his teeth. The gun still glistened in his hand, but I felt no fear of the fellow, and returned The stool to the deck. "Tell me what you mean, and be brief about IL" McCann’s eyes met mine, and I read In them uncertainty. He was not yet quite sure that he had my measure; how far I would resist, or what form my opposition would take. Perhaps for a moment money did not seem to him quite so Important a weapon as he had found it elsewhere. "I’m sorry the crew bent you up the way they did," he began apologet­ ically. “They are a rather rough set—’’ “Don't waste your time over thaL" I Interrupted In dlsgusL “I can deal with an out-and-out fighter, and still respect him, but your kind only en­ genders dlsgusL There Is no love lost between us, Fergus McCann, so state your purpose plainly, and with­ out lying.” “By God!

I’ve bated some in my time, but there never was a cur I despised worse than I do you." “Thanks," I said quietly, “I am hon­ ored," “And more than that, I pay my debts," his temper now entirely ruined by my pretense of Indifference. “So I advise you to keep a civil tongue In your head—you’re no longer In com­ mand of this ship." 1 smiled at the two of them, calmly sitting down on the stool. I was not certain yet what hand I held, but determined to play the cards coolly. “So you fellows are In control; and you come to me now with some sort of proposition. All right; what Is it?" "We need a navigator for a few days; one who will lay out the course we decide on." t “And I am the only one on board." “You are by far the most compe­ tent," he confessed. ‘Tint you need not think from that we are helpless without you. I have no doubt I could figure the matter out fairly well If I had to, and I am perfectly aware that Miss Carrington possesses some knowl­ edge of navigation.

He was taking a tremendous chance, driv­ en by some Impulse I cotfid not com­ prehend. What was the secret—hate, revenge, greed, love? I would find out sometime; but now I could only grope in the dark, guessing at his mo­ tives. Yet I knew this—his promises were lies. He would make use of mej he would Induce me to pilot the ship to the spot he desired to attain on the broad bosom of the ocean, and then— what? Tbe man would never be fool enough to permit the Indian Chief to Ball Into any harbor to accuse him of such a crime. Back of all his words, his explanations, his apparent fair­ ness, lurked treachery. I felt it, and knew IL and tbe very suspicion led mo to reach swift decision. My eyes met his with a smile. “I cannot conceive that I £ave much choice," I raid quietly. “It is to either do this in freedom, or under compul­ sion. Naturally I prefer the former.” “You mean you accept our offer?” “Yes; I will figure out the proper course, and report to you when the ves­ sel Is at the place you designate. That Is all that is asked of me. In return I have ynur pledge that the ship will be left in good condition, with all who are loyal safe on hoard?" "Yes." . "There Is one more condition, Mc­ Cann." "What?” "That Miss Carrington be left abso­ lutely unmolested by either you or your men, until the time comes for you to take to the boats.” “Hah! So that Is really where the ■hoe pinches!" "We will not quarrel about it—either say yes or no.” “What do you mean by unmolested? Am I prohibited from speaking to tho lady?” “That Is to be left to her choice, not yours. She Is to retain the key to her stateroom; to eat alone If she prefers, and to see such associates aboard as she desires.” Liverpool laughed drunkenly. “That ain't the argyment,” he said easily. “So far as I see, that don’t change things none. She’s locked her­ self In anyhow, an’ won’t answer no­ body.” McCann growled something which I took to be assenL and I was myself so anxious to ascertain our exact posi­ tion as to have no desire for further argumenL I could be of no possible value locked a prisoner In that state­ room ; no protection to her. Indeed, if I refused to navigate the vessel, leav­ ing the ship to drift blindly through these unknown waters, exposed con­ stantly to peril, I would be guilty of a failure to do my duty almost as great as the crime of these others. On deck, knowing where we were and th* direction In which we were going, the opportunity might-arise for the accom­ plishment of much. I grasped the nec­ essary Instruments from the swinging shelf, and. with these in my hands, turned toward the door. “Come on. then,” I said. Ignoring the fact that I was any longer a prisoner. “Bring the chart, one of you, and FU point out where we are to you on deck.” “Just hold on a minute,” and Liver­ pool, blocking the doorway, pushed me back with his .huge hand. “We're the bosses, not you.

The answer is found in the fac­ tories where United States Tires are made. Standards of construction for these tires are higher than ever be­ fore known in the tire industry. Makers of tire fabrics tell us that the standards we have given them for United States Tire fabrics are higher than any previously known. Likewise through every process of construction from crude .rubber to finished tires—we have set new and higher standards everywhere. These standards work out on your car in the practical economy de­ manded by war-times. United States Tires will raise any car to higher efficiency. There is a type to cnit every con­ dition of service. The nearest United States Sales and Service Depot dealer will cheer­ fully aid in selecting right tires for We knew United State* tires are good tiree. That’e why we sell them J. C.

It Is ordered, that the eighth day of July When you buy your first stamp you will be riven a Thrift Card with spaces for affixing sixteen stamps. This card will show at all times just bow much money you have loaned the Government As soon as you have sixteen stamps on your'card—JM. 00 worth—you can take them to any place where U. S.

When affixed to a War­ Savings Certificate, it u an obligation of the United State* Government to pay the holder $5.00 on January 7,1923. All the wealth and security of the United States are behind it It is as good as a Government bond, which is the safest investment in the world. Now let’s see bow Thrift Stamps are changed into War­ Savings Stamps. Suppose you have a card full of Thrift Stamps—$4.00 worth and want to turn them into a War-Savings Stamp in March. All you have to do is to put fourteen cent* with your card and take it to anyplace where U. S. Thrift and War-Savings Stamps are sold. There it will be exchanged for a Five Dollar War Savings Stamp, which will put you m the investor class. If you exchange U. S. Thrift Stamps for War-Savings Stamps in April, it will be fifteen cent*; end so on a cent a month up to December, 1918, when the added amount will be twenty-three cent*.

This is rich In important mineral salts, but is largely cellulose. 2. THE GERM, the small part of the seed from which the new plant develops. This is where the greatest amount of fat la stored. g. THE ENDOSPERM, the largest part of the kernel. It contains nourishment used by the plant as it begins to develop. This is mostly starch with protein and some mineral salts and a little fat. GRAHAM FLOUR la made from the entire wheat kernel without re­ moving any part. This process gives a dark flour. WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR is made from the wheat kernel with only a small portion of the coarsest bran removed. This also gives a dark flour. WHITE FLOUR is made of wheat by a process of grinding and sift­ ing, which removes the outer covering and germ. The resultant flour permits of longer storage than flours from which the outer covering and germ are not removed. The terms “Graham” and “Whole Wheat” flour are often used In­ terchangeably. Graham flour* as now milled under the rules of the United States Food Administration contains 74 per cent white flour and 26 per cent of bran, shorts and middlings. The white flour now on sale is what is known as “100 per cent mill­ ing of 74 per esht extraction,” that Is, 74 per cent of the wheat kernel is extracted and such extraction is then all used to make flour. This flour contains moat of the endosperm and practically nolle of either the outer covering or the germ. 'Thus 74 per cent of the wheat ker­ nel is marie into a straight flour, which is the standard grade of the Food Administration. Before the war, in some cases, white flour was made by a 70 per cent milling of a 70 per cent extraction, that is, 70 per cent of the wheat kernel was extracted and was then milled so that only 7C per cent of such extraction was left for what is known as a “patent flour. A “patent flour” represents the while* portion of the endosperm milled to an even and extreme fineness. By that process only about 41 per cent of the wheat kernel was made Into, the particular kind of patent flour desired. The balance of the 70 per cent extraction of the wheat kernel was used to make lower grades of flour, the brans, shorts and middlings. , The following preparations contain wheat: Macaroni. Noodles. Spaghetti, and the many wheat breakfast foods sold under various names.

Slgn*d ’ To Go Through And Win A French woman writing to an Am-, erican housewife says: "Buv, after all, w« have but one thought It is to go through and win." All American housewives are at last awake to this one thought: that this war is a dead­ ly struggle for right and liberty, and that every woman in the home, like every man at the front, must be ready to do her best to go through and win. Further on, the letter reads: “You ask me to tell you what 1 think we need the most I think It is flour, wheat, all' cereals in fact We are gutting short of many things. Every­ thing is very expensive. Soap that I bought for about 60 centimes (six cents) four years ago, costs now near­ ly 4 francs (eighty cents). Olive oil has advanced lu the same proportion.” This Is an index to conditions in France. In Italy, there is extreme need of cereals and -a scarcity of meat, cod­ fish and wheat England has met every .-eduction in her ration with that same grim deter­ mination wlUt which she fights at the front She has taken from her own diminished food stores and shared with France. If America is to go through and win she must begin to share the sacrifices as well as the victories of these brave Allies. She must see that they have their share of the wprld’s remaining food supplies. The combined popula­ tion ot the allied European countries is about 143,000,000. It Is tho part of •very man, woman and child here in America to see that in so far as pos­ sible each shall have his share of the food supply. The story of why they want wheat has been told so often it needs no re­ telling here. America’s reserve supply of wheat was gone by December and since than we have been sending them only what could be saved from individ­ ual consumption. Gradually the Amer­ ican people have cut down on con­ sumption until they were able in the single mouth of March, 1918 to ship in wheat and Its products the equivalent of 16,000,000 bushels. This shows what genuine patriotism can accomplish. A still further reduction is demand, •d, however, if any wheai at all shall be left to send abroad. Shall we not willingly and gladly give up all wheat in our diet for the ne^t ninety days, if by so doing we can help the Allies, as well as our owq Army at the front, to GO THROUGH AND WIN? Wooirow Wilson GETTING READY FOR THE COMING BIG DRIVE < County chairman In the Michigan War Savings Committee are working diligently on their preparations for the stupendous drive that will open short­ ly and close June 28. The war sav­ ings message Is to be carried to every man, woman and child in the state, and If there's anyone who is not sav­ ing and lending .for war purposes, and has not the thrift card or the certL flcate card to prove it, the salesman will know tbe reason why. And it will have to be an excellent reason.

Fashioned with a solid butt, to be jammed into the muzzle, it rendered a gun useless for firing. The butt was soon changed to a socket, but not before the new fangled bayonet brought the English army to grief at Killiekrankie. . The English soldier found the bayonet a poor fit, hard to get into his gun; and when he got it in, hard to get out.

Quick Change of Location Having changed my location of doing busi­ ness from uie north end shop to the Deeds shop, next to the town hall, I take this opportunity to thank my old friends and customers for their liberal patrronage ‘in the past, and to say to them that I am now better prepared prepare than ever before, in connection with Mr. Deed to do your work promptly and satisfactorily. COME AND SEE US You will find we are always on the job. Your .work will receive the most careful atten­ tion. I will give my personal attention to all my old customers who see fit to come and see me in the new location, and will endeavor to please you in every way. Yours very truly. Furthermore, a fellow can get some little satisfaction out of can­ vassing on war work drives. It warms the blood in a fellow's heart to see how cheerfully the most of the people "come across" with their full share, and often with more than their share. On the other hand, it warms a fellow's blood a bit, too, when some tight wad, who loves his dollars more than he loves his coun­ try, wriggles and twists and evades and lies in order to get away from do­ ing, his share. Damn them. Well, If you have been accidental­ ly missed in the Loyalty League canvas, do you consider yourself lucky? And are you going to sit tight and wait until, some ope hunts you up? What the hell kind of a soldier would that be, if one of our boys acted like that on the way to Berlin? If you have been missed, be man enough to get busy and hunt up somebody to’ give your subscrip­ tion to. Dave Kunz will take it, gladly, or any one of a hundred other fellows. George Brown, the man who bad the.auto mlxup with Ad Wolf, out south of town the other day, claims that Wolf’s machine turned a com­ plete somersault and landed right side up, ready to run. We seem to remember something like that hap­ pening to us once, years ago, on rol­ ler skates, but we don’t believe it can be done in an automobile. 'Sall right. We been t *o darn busy doing seventeen other things to go fishing,., but our little friend Allen Dean came to our rescue. That kid hauled a 6 1-2 pound pike out of Thornapple lake Tuesday and made a bee-line for Fike with it. Bully kid. ‘ They say some of the boys over at Camp Custer are studying the Ger­ man dictionary, so they will know how to order a glass of beer when .they get to Berlin. We don't be­ lieve it. When they get to Berlin if they want any beer they will go and get it, the same as they will Berlin. Rather a queer place to wear false teeth, but if you do wear them in your purse, better tie your purse to* you, so you won’t go away and leave them. Rather embarrassing, some­ times, and besides, Fike might get hold of it. for the fool column. They say Opportunity knocks but once at any man’s door. Perhaps that's so. The rest of the time she is busy sweeping out the shop for the fallow who has the snap and aggres­ sion to make his way without waiting for opportunity. Now that the state is bone dry and everybody has acquired the habit of drinking plain water again, we won­ der how a drink from one of those old gourds that we used to raise on a vine *'by the kitchen door would taste? We might have had a perfectly good Spanish dancer added to the population^of Nashville If Ray Ire­ land had not been so fat tfaft there wasn't room in the auto for her. That fellow is always taking the joy out of life. . ' \ * What’s a brake on an automobile for, anyway? Ernie Barker don’t know. If he did, he wouldn’t let his car stand on a grade without set­ ting the brake, and let the car run away down hill and through a fence and into the swamp, would he? Crossing accidents seem to be rar­ er this season than last. Perhaps automobllists are coming to the con­ clusion that It’s better to wait a min­ ute at the crossing than an eternity in the cemetery. As nearly as we can figure.lt put, what with Loyalty league drives, War SavlngB Stamp drives, Liberty Loan drives, etc., the fish at Thornapple lake are going to be fairly safe from our depredations this season. We wonder if every slacker in this country realises that he is spotted by all his neighbors and that he will be detested not only during the war, but for many yean afterward?

Captain Dover practiced medi­ cine In an independent way—chiefly on his own men—and in this way came to concoct the powder which bears his name.

In England they say, "Every shil-! ling wasted stabs a soldier In the back.’’ Pro-Germans probably think the War Savings Campaign a foolish one. Many of our poorer citizens are undergoing real sacrifices that they may be able to show' their patriotism by buying War Savings Stamps. If you want results, get the ma­ rines after the submarines. The truly patriotic family is cheer­ fully raising a war garden and joy­ fully canning the products. Mr. Schwab has the right idea of n Fourth of July celebration. Instead of sending up rockets toward the sky, he will send down ships to. the sea America’s colors—the blue held, the white stars, the red stripe,, the white stripes—and never, never a yellow streak. • If America could have forseen the consequences she would never have invented the submarine.

War Has Multiplied the Value of Good Tires Never were cars so necessary—both in business and domestic life. Never was their continuous and eco­ nomical use so imperative. Never was freedom from tire trouble and tire expense so absolutely essential. The rapidly growing demand for United States Tires prove their war-time worth. Thousands of motorists each week are turning to United States Tires to get de­ pendability and economy. United States Tires last longest and carry you farthest at least cost. They enable you to make the most of your car—passenger or commercial— now, when it is more than ever a vital war-time necessity. There is a United States Tire for every possible need. f • Our nearest Sales and Service Depot will tell you which ones you should have.

Separated by 3,000 mllea of ocean and protected by our Navy, our civil­ ian population can during this war continue to live in thesameeecurttyaa in peace times. The Hun invaders are not in our midst.' We are spared the agony that camo to the women and children and old men ot Belgium and France and Serbia and the other qver-run countries. While thus se­ cure from harm we must not forget that the civilian populations of these desolated countries are as much our allies as are their fighting men. Let us realize more deeply their trage­ dies. Read this testimony of Brand Whit­ lock, who as our minister to Belgium kpows what It means for a land to be occupied by German troops. ' "Tamlneais a little mining town on the Sambre. The iittld church stands on the village green overlooking the riyer, its facade all splotched where the bullets and grapesbot spattered against it. And In the little grave­ yard besiae tbe church there are hun­ dred* of new-made graves, long rows of them, each with its small wooden cross and its bit of flowers. The crosses stand in serried rows, so closely that they make a very thicket, with scarcely room to walk between them. They were all new, of painted wood, alike except for the names and the ages—thirteen to eighty-four. But they all bore the same sinister date—August 22, 1914. "The Germans began to pillage and burn the houses, 676 of them; then they turned all the inhabitants Into the street, promiscuously marching them about. It went on for long hours; they were given no food or drink. During a halt they forced them to Ho beneath the machine guns, then they lined them up against the church wajl and performed a mock execution. About 600 men were massed in SL Mapin’s Square, on tbe river bank, and their wives, mothers, daughters were assembled by tbe soldiers to witness the scene. "They lined up their victims in three rows along tbe Sambre and tumbled 150 of them bead over heels into the river, shoving back with their bayonets those who attempted to cling to the bank. Only four or five escaped by swimming. During this execution the machine guns were trained on the remaining lines. When the firing had ceased that night, there were more than 4 00 dead; their bodies lying there, women, too, and children. And the graves are there near by, in tbe cemetery, and the ages are from 13 to 84.” The part that these civilians play­ ed in the war was to bring to the civilized world the realization of what it would mean for German arms to conquer. In playing their part they gave their lives in the most cruel way a beastly enemy could devise. What part will our civilian popu­ lation play in the war? Will It go along living as it did before the war, or will it glory in the opportunity to serve in the tremendous task of defeating civilization's enemy? Each individual must decide that question. He can prolong the world's agony or he can save—save and sacrifice—to the utmost of bis ability and with his savings buy War Savings Stamps that there may be more money, labor, and materials to back up those who fight and die not only for us, but for all who love freedom. mered, absolutely forgetting my pres­ ence. “I—I assure you I was actuated by the highest' motives In all my ef­ fort*.

CHAPTER AMERICAN RED CROSS. , The Red Cross Bulletin, June 1’J. gives out the following, which will be of interest to all workers: Chapter I*roduction Depends on Team Work. Each is asked to get all supnlles through division, and Stick to quota work. The American Red Cross has been called on for hospital garments, hos­ pital supplies, surgical dressings, knitted articles, refugee clothing and comfort kits. To furnish these things there must be a supply of raw materials,* •definite quotas assigned each.chapter, and team work between chapter and the division office. Material at Low Prices. The Red Cross will buy. in large quantities, the materials. By reason of co-operation of the war Industries board and the manufacturers, prices will be low and delivery prompt. The ’•aw materials will be stored in divis­ ion warehouses, whence they will be shipped on order by chapters. All chapters are asked to take stock of all raw materials on hand, except that needed for quotas already assigned, and to report to the divi­ sion juat what stocks they have. Those which have large stocks may be asked to furnish certain special supplies to use up such stocks, but that will be in addition to the regu­ lar quotas of that or other articles. Again, all chapters are asked and urged not to buy materials in the open market, but through the supply de­ partment of the division. When a chapter loses patience because de­ livery of material is delayed, and buys in the market, it bids against the government and Red Cross buy­ ers. and the result is higher prices, dislocation of the market, and a fur­ ther increase of the very delay which it is seeking to avoid. The chapter may, at th® time, get a quicker de­ livery; but at the expense of al! oth­ er chapters, and to its own hurt In the future. ’ Chapters will please tell the dlvlaIon how much e month they can spend for material. This is neces­ sary, as in making up quotas the di­ vision considers both financial abili­ ty and productive capacity of the chapters. Quotas will not be as­ signed any chapter until the division has in its warehouse the material for them. The division shipping depart­ ment'has been reorganized, and sev­ eral mercantile houses have offered to lend expert packers in emergen­ cies, ao that orders may be filled quickly. Each quota will specify Uncle Sam pushed the clock ahead one hour to give more light. Take advantage of it You owe it to yourself and youc country to make every minute count. Use your car—passenger or com­ mercial—to the limit Samuel P. Colt president of the United States Rubber Company, helped awaken the country to the economic value of the automobile last fall. He said— “Everything on wheels must be used and mobilized. “The automobile is second to the railroads as an adjunct and supple­ mentary to them in collecting and distributing merchandise. “Owners should use their can, both passenger and commercial, more and more.” Make the moat of your car by using the tires that will extend its usefulness to the utmost.

Mc­ Cann will tell you—but- God pity you, Dubois, if you fall-to repeat It. Up with you now, and be lively about It I" All thought of my former purpose vanished from my mind as I realized this new chance of rescue. At any risk I must attain quickly to the* open deck, where I could create an alarm suffi­ cient to awaken suspicion on board the approaching Frenchman. McCann’s only hope of escape lay in some satis­ factory explanation, which would lull the suspicious of the. French com­ mander—some He smooth enough to । prevent boarding and search. I Assured that White was beyond ob­ • servation of any of my movements, I crept cautiously around the stair rail, and noiselessly mounted the steps. I found the after part of the main deck deserted, although forward o* the mainmast I could perceive dark blotches along the port rail, where members of the watching party were observing the approach of the French cruiser. With heart beating like a trip­ hammer, I made my way ulyng the front of the cabin, until I ventured to peer over the port rail, secure that my presence on deck wns screened by the deep shadows In which I lurked. The gleam of the stars alone re­ vealed the glittering surface of the sea, but the night wks clear of fog, and the "The French cruiser De*enrtes, on patrol. Get your bout over.” What would McCann do? Was* he. ready for such an emergency as thii? Hnd he taken the. precaution to alter the Ship's manifest, or even forged a new one? There was a moment of ex­ cited talk on the deck above me; then McCann descended the starboard laddeh and disappeared through the com­ panion. evidently after the ship’s pa­ pers. Liverpool’s voice ordering the watch to lower number five boat, and stand by, sung out from the poop rail. McCann emerged from the companion, called up to Liverpool, waving his hand with a laugh full of confidence, and went forward. A moment later he was joined by Dubois, and the two men clambered over the rail and dropped into the lowered bout. His actions, his easy manner., startled me; those must be carefully forged papers In his pocket to enable him to proceed with such con­ fidence. Slowly I lifted myself until I could peer over the side at the dark expanse of water between the vessels. The searchlight of the warship rested in a glare of white on tbe small boat bobbing up’and down, revealing the men nt the oars, and McCann and Du­ bois In the stern sheets. Neither glanced back, but I could see their faces clearly, nnd McCann was smiling os though at an excellent joke. A French Man-of-War.

This bank, believing it to be its patriotic duty to respond to this call, will take its full quota of these Certifi­ cates from time to time as the .Treasury Department needs funds to finance the war. To the people of this community, who have responded so loyally in purchasing past issues of Liberty Bonds and who expect to take borfds of the Fourth Loan, and to those who may desire a short-time Government investment, we recommend the purchase of these Certificates, which we will supply in denominations of $500, $1,000 and upwards without profit to this bank.

A certain amount of beef is frozen for foreign shipment, but domestic markets demand fresh, chilled, unfrozen beef. Swift & Company can­ not increase prices by withholding meat, be­ cause it will not keep fresh and salable for more than a few days after it reaches the market. Swift & Company cannot tell at the time of purchasing cattle, what price fresh meat will bring when put on sale. If between purchase and sale, market con­ ditions change, the price of meat must also change. The Food Administration . limits our profit to 9 per cent on capital invested in the meat departments. This is about 3 cents per dollar of sales. No . profit is guaranteed, and the risk of loss is not eliminated. As a matter of fact, meat IS often sold at a loss because Of the need of selling it before it spoils. Swift & Company, U.S. A.

Plain Facts About the Meat Business The Federal ’Trade Commission in its recent report on war profits, staled that the five large meat packers have been profi­ teering and that they have a monopoly of the market. These conclusions,'if fair and just, are matters of serious con­ cern not only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to every other citizen of our country. The figures given on profits are misleading and the statement that the packers have a monopoly is unsupported by the facts. The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to prove their profits reasonable and necessary. . , • • * The report states that the aggregate profits of four large pack­ ers were $140,000,000 for the three war years. This sum is compared with $19,000,000 as the average annual profit for the three years before the war, making it appear that the war profit was $121,000,000 greater than the pre-war profit. This compares a three-year profit with a one-year profit—a manifestly unfair method of comparison. It is not only mis­ leading, but the Federal Trade Commission apparently has made a mistake in the figures themselves. The aggregate three-year profit of $140,000,000 was earned on sales of over four and a half billion dollars. It means about three cents on each dollar of sales—or a mere fraction of a cent per pound of product Packers’ profits are a negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats. No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit. • • • • • Furthermore—and this is very important—only a small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends. The balance has been put back into the businesses. It had to be, as you realize when you consider the problems the packers have had to solve —and solve quickly—during these war years. To conduct this business in war times, with higher costs and the necessity of paying two or three times the former prices for live stock, has required the use of two or three times the ordi­ nary amount of working capital The additional profit makes ■». - If you are a business man you will appreciate the significance of these facts. If you are unacquainted with business, talk this matter over with some business acquaintance — with your banker, say—and ask him to compare profits of the packing industry with those of any other large industry at the present time. f • a • > • • The meat business is one of the‘largest American industries. Any citizen who would familiarize himself with its details must be prepared for large totals. • only a fair return on this, and as has been stated, the larger portion of the profits earned has. been used to finance huge stocks of goods and to provide additions and improvements made necessary by the enormous demands of our army and navy and the Allies. No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commission in support of the statement that the large packers have a monop­ oly. The Commission’s own report shows the large number and importance of other packers. The packers mentioned in the statement stand ready to prove to any fair minded person that they are in keen competition 'with each other, and that they have no power to manipulate prices. y . If this were not true they would not dare to make this positive statement ' Furthermore, government figures show that the five large packers mentioned in the report account for only about onethird of the meat business of the country. They wish it were possible to interest you in the details of their business. Qf how, for instance, they can sell dressed beef for less than the cost of the live animal, owing to utilization of by-products, and of the wonderful story of the methods of distribution throughout this broad land, as well as in other countries. The five packers mentioned feel justified in co-operating with each other to the extent of together presenting this public statement. They have been able to do a big job for your government in its time of need; they have met all war time demands promptly and completely and they are willing to trust their case to the fairmindedness of the American people with the facts before them.

Walk­ er. in Chesaning, and while there visited the big rock after which the town is named. Chesaning; being the Indian term for Dig rock. Sctenlists say this rock was floated here sh the ice when tower Michigan was covered with water. At one time they had to use a ladder to reach the top. but now one side han scaled and one can climb to the top. When Michigan was a wilderness and in­ habited only by Indians, they used this rock to build signal fires on to call in the Indians to the war coun­ cils. The old rock is seamed and scaled from the. big fires they had built on it. They have had more rain near Chesaning than we have had in Castleton. Oats and barley are. very good; wheat will average better than In Barry county; some pieces of corn are very good and some very poor and uneven, show­ ing the effects of poor seed. W. N. also had a short visit with Frank Waltser, who will be remembered as a formes Nash rille business man. Frank is one of the partners in the Chesaning Hardware Co., doing an extensive business in all kinds ot hardware, agricultural implements, harness and automobiles.

Well, we got it into our heads that the fish would bite better at Grass Island than at any other point in tbe lake, so we wont up there, although it’s a mile away from home. We knew Just the spot where we wanted to locate, where knew we could pick up u mesa of blue gills in an hour or so, got the boat all properly anchored, got the poles all ready, and then dis­ covered that we didn’t have a single darned bit of bait with us. Well, we had • perfectly good boat ride, Jnst tbe same. And we felt a whole lot better about it the next day, when three au­ to loads of Eaton Rapids people wltn friends from west of Charlotte pull­ ed up to the lake far a day's fishing. They unloaded their cars, piled up their baskets .of grub, got out the hammocks for the ladies and chil­ dren, and then the men got out their fishing tackle and were Just ready to starj out for their day's sport when one of the men asked "Where’s that pail of worms?" They all looked foolish and final­ ly one fellow admitted "What a lot of darned fools; we came away and left that pail of worms on the back porch." And it turned out that all the bunch, women and aJJ, had put in the most of their time.for the pre­ vious week digging for worms, which are as scarce as two-cent pieces Just now on account of the dry weather. Ever Bake Your Silver FoamT We like to "roast” our friends oc­ casionally, but one of them got a roasting last week which hurt. Oh, how it hurt! He was one of our frugal _ ------------------friends, who had ,--------------laid in £ sup­ ply of amber liquid before the first of May, and had been carefully con­ serving It. He had nine bottles of it left, and be was hanging on to those nine bottles like tbe Yanks do to the tail of the German retreat. For fear something would happen to it he hid it. where nobody would ev­ er thing of looking for beer—in tbe oven of the range, which of course is not used during the hot weather. However, for some reason or other, the good wife took it into her head that she wanted to bake something that she thought would bake better In the range than it would In the gas stove, so she fired up the range. Pretty soon an explosion occurred, and then another, and another, un­ til she commenced to wonder if there was a German flying machine bomb­ ing the town, or wbat it was that was going on. When she got ready to put her baking In the oven, however, she found that every one of those nine bottles had "busted," and that oven was a sight. The desolation there, however, was as the peace of a departed soul compared with the desolation of that poor friend of ours, with whom we most sincerely sympa­ thize in his hour of sorrow. To the Court of Last Resort. We rise to a question of law and the rights ot possession. Driving up Main street the other day we tooted the horn asking the driver of a coal wagon to lay over and give us part of the road. He pulled over all right, and Just as we were passing he fired a lump of coal at us and It landed in the car. Now we claim that lump of coal and we don’t pro­ pose to give It up. It will come In mighty handy next winter, and we will have coal when »omb of you fellows will have to be breaking up the furniture. We understand per­ fectly well that the coal dealer would fire the driver if ho knew his man was throwing away his property like that, so we won t give him away, but if the original owner of that coal wants to get it he will have to have re­ course to the courts. We don’t know, you see, whether it was legal­ ly the property, just at that time, of the coal dealer or of the ban the load was being delivered to, and we think, under the circumstances, as long as "possession is nine points of law/’ that we will Just hang on to that piece of fuel until Christmas, and give a little party, so our friends can all come In and get warm. A Precocious Pair. A little Maple Grove girl, Just past five.' and who has had one term of school, was playing with a bit of hair ribbon the other day when her brother, a year or so younger, beg­ ged for tbe ribbon. The little girl told him the ribbons were not for boys, and he said, "Well, when I'm hatched out again Dm going to be hatched out a girl.” To which the little maid promptly replied, “When you gat big enough to go to school and study physiology, you’ll find out you won't never hatch out to be a girl.’* The boss is down at Detroit this week attending the K. of P.

Two pounds of sugar a month—half a pound a week—that Is the sugar ra­ tion tbe U.‘g, Food Administration has asked every American to observe until January 1, 1919, in order to make sure there shall be enough for our Army and Navy, for the Allied armies and for the civilians of those nations. By New Year's the world sugar sit­ uation will be relieved somewhat by the new crop. . Cuban sugar of this year's crop will be arriving tn this country. Every available sugar source will be drawn on by tbe Food Administration during the next winter months to main­ tain sufficient stocks here to keep up our national sugar supply. During Oc­ tober the first American beet sugar will arrive in tbe markets. By the middle of November some of our Lou­ isiana cane crop will be available. Ail of this sugar and more may be needed to keep this nation supplied on a re­ duced ration and to safeguard the Al­ lied sugar ration from still further reduction. In Europe the present ra­ tion is already reduced to a minimum. Our Situation. The situation which the United States faces in its efforts to maintain a fair distribution of sugar to tbe Al­ lied world Is as follows: Sugar supplies throughout the coun­ try, In homes, stores, factories and make increased sugar shipments to the Allies. . Production of American beet and Louisiana cane crops have been disap­ pointing. Porto Rico crops have been cur­ tailed. Immense sugar stocks In Java can­ not be reached on account of the ship­ ping shortage: ships are needed for troop movements and munitions. ” Army and Navy sugar requirements have increased as, well as those from the Allies. Most industries using sugar have had their allotment reduced by one-half; some will receive no sugar. Households should make every ef- . fort to preserve the fruit crop without sugar, or with small amounts of sugar. Later, when tbe sugar supply is larg­ er. the canned fruit may be sweetened ‘WILD LIFE CF MICHIGAN” AT STATE FAIR i State Preparing Exhibit Which Will Include Every Animal, Bird and Fish Which Ever Roamed The Forests, Flew In The Air or Swam In The Streams of Michigan.

"He has a mind of his own on questions of public policy?’ (Char­ lotte Republican, Oct. 26. ’16.) “For the policies in which he be­ lieves he is a fighter who never quits." (E. R.

McArthur, author of the bone-dry law, announced he would fight for his program to the end." (Detroit Free Press, Feb. 16, *17.) “Rep. McArthur probably knows the liquor laws of the country as well as any man in Michigan." (Detroit News, Feb. 24, ’17.) Rep.“ McArthur went to the last session ot the legislature a compara­ tive stranger, but witbin thirty days was known throughout the state by reason of the active part he took in legislative matters. —Political Advertisement.

Many of these de­ partments are in competition with outside businesses whose profits are not limited. Profits in this class are restricted to 15 per cent of the capital employed. Class Class 3 includes outside investments, such as those in stock yards, and the operation of packing plants in foreign countrios. Profits in this class are not limited. Total profits for all departments together in 1918 will probably be between three and four per cent on an inc-eased volume of sales. The restrictions absolutely guar antee a reasonable relation between live stock prices and wholesale meat prices, because the packer’s profit can­ not possibly average more than a fraction of a cent per pound of product. Since the profits on meat (Class 1) are running only about 2 cents on each dollar of sales, we have to depend on the profits from soap, glue, fertilizer (Class 2, also limited) and other depart ments, (Class 3) to obtain reasonable earnings on capital Swift & Company is conducting its business so as to come within these limitations.

In other words, winning thia war Is a matter of money. ft is a matter of money nnt only for the treasury of the United States, but for ai! our alliea. When you buy a Liberty bond or a War Savings stamp it means money for the United States treasury. When you pay your Income taxes or any of your other contributions to the government it means money for the United States treasury. But money is only a representative of value and a medium* of exchange. Do not look upon your dollar as a mere piece of currency. Do not look upon the United States treasury al a mere repository of your funds. Our Treasury Upholding World. The United States treasury today is the god atlas who bolds the world upon hls shoulders. It furnishes money to everyone of our allies which needs mnney. It breathes hope and confidence Into any allied army which Is losing heart It puts in the field the great gun which answers the German gun with shot for shot It keeps our armies going for­ ward Instead of backward. It holds the line against the German onslaught The treasury of the United States is. the power behind cur own army "and all the armies of our allies. During the coming year this nation must raise $24,000,000,000. We hnvs called these loans In the past Liberty loans, ft is about time to begin call­ ing them Victory loans. Whatever we call them, however. $24,000,000,000 during the next year the United States government must have to carry out our great, magnificent and world-saving program. About $16,000,000,000 of this must be raised by loans, and $8,000,­ 000,000 by taxation. If we do not raise this money the United States treasury will have failed, and when .the United States treasury falls the war Is lost. If the war Is lost, democracy is lost—the world is lost. The raising of this $24.000.00b,000 Is s tremendous tnsk. It Is the supreme test of the greatness of America. Must Give Half Our Earnings. Tin* whole earning power of this country is alxiut $50,000,000,000 a year; so that out of every. $30 produced tn this country during the next year the government must have $24. The di­ vision of our wealth during-the next year must be practically on a 50-50 basis with the government Note. anyone can see that Oils thing must be done. IT MUST BE DOMBI Anyone can see that If we give 50 per cent of all we produce to the gov­ ernment we cannot live as we always have lived. During the pn«t year or so we have just been scraping up the loose change and handing it to the government to finance the war. We must now go to the very heart of our ability and give until this great piece of financial work is accomplished. He who pays taxes in whatever form they may rest upon him, must pay, and pay cheerfully, to make up that $8,000,000,000 which we must raise by taxation. ' He who has money must invest It in Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps, so as to furnish hls share of that $16,000,000,000 a^bich the govern­ ment must borrow. He who has no money to Invest must save, and Invest his savings. Must Become Even Stingy. We must become a saving, un eco­ nomical, a thrifty, a stingy option to­ wards everything but war. We must go rugged and shabby. We must turn and dye and renovate our old clothes. ' We must postpone repairs and bet­ terments We must put off the building of the new bouse. We must do those things only which are of productive value. We must economize Ip motor cars, In gasoline and in all forms of fuel. We must burn wood where possible. If we burn coal we must sift the ashes. We must simplify and cheapen our diet. We must cut out luxuries and things which are unnecessary. We must have our shoes patched and wear them as long as they will bang together. We must buy nothing which must be shipped over the railroads, except where necessary. We must draw our supplies from the nearest point. We must live like .misers and work like horses. We must regard the smallest omy as of the most tremendous im­ portance. no matter whether we are rich or poor. We must save electricity. We must spend our vacations at home. We must get along without hired help except In case of absolute neces­ sity or for the promotion of. produc­ tion. We must put nothing ravable In the garbage barrel. We must recover from garbage ev­ erything ravable put into IL We must throw overboard all the dead weight of Life so that the ship may not sink. We must strip ourselves to the akin of everything which hampers our move­ ments, so that we may win thia fight This nation during the next year must become an athlete, abjuring ev­ ery luxury, living on the plainest food, eating nothing, drinking nothing, wear­ ing nothing except that which will make for victory. �____________ _______ the posture last » the work of a fcrerihh mtante.

Nashville People Should Not Neglect Their Kidneys. : Backache is often nature's most freouent signal simal of weakened wpnkfinori __ via. frequent kidneys. To cure the pains and aches, to remove the lameness when it arises from weakened kidneys, you must reach the cause—the kidneys. If you have pain through the small of your back, urinary disorders, headaches, dizzy spells, or are ner­ vous and depressed, start treating kldeys with a tested kidney remedy. Doan’s Kidney Pills have been proved good and are especially for weak kidneys. Doan’s have been used in kidney trouble for over 50 years. Read Nashville testimony. Mrs. J. F. Taylor, Main street, Bays: “Some years ago I suffered from backaches, headaches nd oth* friend recommended Doan's Kidney Pills to me and I began using them. Two boxes greatly relieved me.

The per capita consump­ tion in this country for 1917 was 159.8 pounds, as compared wltjj 167.8 pounds for 1916.

Then he secured a piece of edging from a convenient slab pile and went back. When, he arrived at close quarters be found that the head was a part of the big­ gest fish he ever saw. He measured off on his arm the length of its head, and we are honestly ashamed to tell you how far up his arm he put the mark.. Anyway, he said the fish was longer' than the oar of his boat, and as it refused to move even when he gbi up to It, he took it for granted the fish was sick. And he decided he wanted that head to take home for a souvenir, so he stood up in the boat and with all his strength he smote* that fish a mighty swat on the top of his head with the edging. The edging was broken Into fragments, but the fish was evidently not stun- You Cant Get Motor Knowledge! Out Of A Book It is easy to see that this is, in the long run, a very expensive practice..

WE MUST All DO OUR BEST Bcere* of Thing* We Can Do Without Which Seem Necessities and Yet Are Really Luxuries Into the Fight. By EDWARD BOK. Editor of the LsuIIm* Hom* Journal Each time a new Liberty loan is an­ nounced we should hail it with pleas­ ure. For years we have used the phrase “as good as a government bond" as indicating the safest invest­ ment possible, but before the war it was impossible for the average In­ vertor to secure a government bond. Periodically an Issue was made, but It was so quickly subscribed for by the bankers that the small investor had little chance. Now we all have a chance, and a chance at all that w* can afford to buy. It will, of course, be argued'by some when the fourth Liberty loan is an­ nounced that they have not as yet paid for the third loan bonds for which they subscribed. That may be true, but that is no reason why we should fall to subscribe again. Before the fifth loan can be issued we will have paid for the third loan bonds and be­ gun paying for the fourth loan bonds that we subscribed-for. Thus if we go on we wifi have a distinct part in each loan, have each month put aside a sum for the best investment on earth, have acquired the steady habit of saving, and when the last loan is announced and we shall have taken part of that and paid for it, we shall find oarselves in possession of a col­ lection of bonds that will make us proud of the share we took in the war and have a comfortable “nest egg” in the bargain. Must Do Our Best. Never, really, was there such a stimulant given vs to do without the nonessential and save. Not only is it saving for our boys and helping them to ffght. but It Is saving for them when they come home and saving for our­ selves. Is there, in Imagination, a prouder parent than that father or mother, who wh«n his or her boy comes home from serving his country, can'open a drawer and pull out a neat little package of Liberty loan bonds? That is what we mean by “keeping the home-fires burningby “backing up our boys,” by “doing oat bit.” The only point is that we should change the latter to “doing our best." We've done our “bit” in the past loans; in this fourth loan we should do our "best” We want to be able to show our boy a bond or two or three tn each Ioan; not have him ask: “Ob, didn't you get in on the fourth?” It Isn’t as if we can’t do it We can. If we will only set our minds to the job of real saving. There are scores of things we can flo without which seem necessities and yet are really luxuries. Our boys “over there" are doing with­ out them and offering their live* be­ sides. We are not asked fpr the latter. All we are asked to do Is to do without here something and there something, and by doing this we are patriots! And ail the time while we are ad­ judged patriots we are investing our money in the safest thing on earth and getting a good Interest on It in the bargain. Frankly, can yoa “beat It?” It Is something to ask a man to give money,-without a return, and be a patriot But In these Liberty loans all the government asks that a man shall loan Is his money, safely guarded and at a good Interest, and still he I* a patriot. Must Lend or Be Taxed. Another point we must remember, taking this whole matter simply on an economic basis: That the more of these Liberty bonds we buy the less taxes we will have to pay. The gov­ ernment must have the money to keep op the war and feed and clothe our boys.. This year it needs about $24.<«X),000.000. This amount It must get from the people. And If the people won’t loan In bonds, it must take In tnxe*. Hence, the more we loan the less we will have, to give. It’s all a question of saving, saving, xaving—and never was there a better time to begin than now with the Lib­ erty loan bonds a* an attraction. The taan who has no ready money with which to buy the bonds is the very man that the government wairts above all other classes of men to loan It hl* money; his money saved here with a dollar and there with ■ quarter. It is wrmtry: the money that we save by RORER’S COFFEE Other* must. wo want to draw out and bay Liberty baud* with; It I* the money that next a diminutive breed That is really helping your boy “over there;" helping the government to keep him warm and fit, and, incldentallyUielping yourself to lay by the most Patriot* will register. and developed in China, from where Borer’s W.

The next reunion will be held in the same place one year hence. Patrlots will register. Here s another Weiworth thrift opportunity: pretty, attractive appealing new models, with the unvarying Welworth excellence, and still priced at $2.00. We don’t like to make comparisons as to value, but we do feel perfectly safe in saying that these Blouses, judged by prevailing standards, and considering the advanced cost of everything that enters into their making, represent values fully 50 per cent above the modest price at which they are to be sold. Do you know.the Welworth? Have you ever worn a Wel’worth Blouse? If not, we urge that you make their acquaintance, for this respected name is a guide post to better Blouse value® always. .The name WELWORTH on a Blouse stands for a high stan­ dard of quality. That standard will never be lowered. The pres­ ent price will be adhered to as long as is possible, but when the alternative of lowering the standard or increasing price present® itself, the latter course will be pursued. * We are distributors in this city for the Welworth and Wirthmor—the most popular Blouses in America Rothhaar Mercantile Co.

It was quite foggy Saturday .night, especially in some of the low spots In the scenery. The Zemke boys ran Into a bank of it on the flats east of town when they were motoring home, and before they realized how dense the fog really was they had surpris­ ed one of their neighbors who was driving home with a horse and buggy. When the lights of the car made the buggy visible it was too late to pre­ vent a collision, and that buggy was shot qheed so suddenly that It left the seat, top, and the occupants of the buggy sitting in tbe road, just ahead of the machine, which was fortunately stopped in time to avoid running over them. The damage was slight and no one was seriously injured, but all of the parties have agreed that they don’t like rear-end collisions. Post Didn't Hear the Hom. That was a surprised Kalamo fgrmer who backed his automobile away from Townsend’s elevator Fri­ day and brought up with a smash with the rear of bis car against the traffic post at .the street intersection. The post was not injured in the least, but the globe on the top of it was shattered, and so was the gentle disposition of the farmer when his wife told him he had backed into the post.

RETURN TO SIMPLE LIFE Those Not Willing to Deprive Them6ome Comforts Ungrate­ ful for What Boys "Over There** By JAMES W. GERARD, Former Ambassador to Germany. In the days before the war It often seemed to me that the Immigrant who came here with practically nothing and who left an education and often a com­ petence to his children lived as all men should live. He worked hard and well and saved- his money. Then as bis circumstances permitted he placed his family in comfortable surround­ ings. Often he got hold of a little piece of ground and raised a part of bls food supply. Such men as these told me often that American life pre­ sented .very few difficulties to a man who wanted to become wealthy through hla own effqrta. Of course these people did not have the things that many of their neigh­ bors thought vitally necessary. There was no show, no ostentation, nothing merely to Impress their associates and neighbors. And after all man la a slm-‘ pie being. His wants are few. once he gets out of an artificial point of* viejv. Return to Simple Living. Since the war has come with its ceaslty of curtailed expenditure many persons and families are approaching the state of simple living. They are being vastly benefited. A mental and spiritual betterment comes with sim­ ple living and thinking. There is also a great gain in resource. No man need ever fear that he will become miserly through the practice of thrift. Thrift simply means using the rignt things for the right purpose and putting aside the surplus. If the war has done nothing else It has at least taught to many persons the value of thrift The human mind is prone to attach labels to things. Be­ cause a thing is done it is done more and more: Once the individual gives thought to life and living he sees how senseless and unnecessary are some of the practices to which he thought he was committed for the rest of his life. Too many people in America are living beyond their means In order to vie with some richer neighbor. Why risk your children’s future and edu­ cation through a silly imitation in­ duced by false pride? To do anything well Is a fine train­ ing for any man or woman. The prac­ tice of thrift Is only the utilizing In the most- scientific and exact ways of an Individual’s resources. It is character building and makes of man almost the master of his destiny. Prove Superiority to Hun. The situation of the world at the present time says to Civilized man: Prove that you are fitted to survive the Hun; prove that yon are superior to the Hun; prove that you are worthy of being preserved. For a wasteful use of materials at the present time is a crime against civilization. Tbe war cannot be won unless the nation and the individual practice the most exact thrift. If we as a race cannot do this we are not fit40 be the domi­ nant .factors In the world.’ We can and we will. The Hun and the state of affairs brought about by him are a challenge to our civilization. We ac­ cept the challenge and we will win the victory. We could not do less. Our own countrymen and our brothers ln*arms are living in the midst of the greatest danger abroad. They are subsisting only on. the vitally necesahry fools and their general situation is lacking tn comforts. We will deprive ourselves of some of our own abundant comfort taat they may have the necessities’ of life. We must not prove ungrateful for what they are doing for us. We do not wish to live in an enervating comfort while they are suffering and giving their lives that we may survive. There Is for thoa$ who are rich or seiniricb or who merely have money and extravagant tastes another and a practical aide. Money Must Be Had. We must have the money to carry on the war. If money does nut rome to the ’ government from the country’s present stock of pwney. then It must be created, for the war cannot stop. Additional money means Inflation and that means a fall In the worth. In the purchasing po’wer of the dollar. So that every one who has an income a salary or invested capital of any klnfl. bonds, mortgage* or other obliga­ tions of state or city or railway, should be vitally interested In practicing thrift, and thereby maintaining the value of, the purchasing power of bls own' property. But.greatest argument of all—the spending of money now unnecessarily is shameless, even criminal.

Hanks COUNTY WAR ORGANIZATION '■Thousands of temporarily prosperous people without advice or knowledge of values are being gulled by unscrupulous promoters into purchasing worthless stocks and bonds, aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars annually. These promoters are virtually robbing these people of their savings. Many of them are taking ' Liberty Bonds in exchange for these fake securities. The lowest estimate of the amount of these fake, bogus or worthless securities unloaded on the peo­ ple during the past year is $250,000,000. Those who have given the problem the closest study state that $500,000,000 is nearer the correct amount.

We are here in that greatest of all services, the service which ennobles all who engage in it—the service ot mankind.'* It is this service, the service of mankind, that is demanding the, con­ servation and fair distribution of our foodstuffs. A crisis has been successfully pass­ ed. Due to tbe awakening of her co! lective conscience, America last year saved enough wheat to share her breadstuff's with Europe and ^ide over her own supply until the present abundant harvest. These past mon&s qf conservation discipline will enable her to keep be­ low the pre-war consumption of wheat until her storehouses are again filled and a surplus built up for her own and friendly Europe’s future protec­ tion. Because the light-weight cattle are ftow moving so rapidly to market; due largely to the extreme drouth In the south-west, the American people are now being urged to demand meat from the lighter weight» animals, those that dress below 475 pounds. This will relieve the drain on the heavier beef needed abroad and will help producers. The present sugar allottment of two pounds per person per month still gives us half a pound, more than France’s ration and a pound more than Italy's. Fair play demands that we keep within this spnount in order to share with tjrtfm? This wkr eannot be won without a ayma thetic distribution of food.

I , Q^n’Ini SAVE -SUGAR "SSSJ Tw&s" �Dollars that Fight s. By SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE The war will be won by men and ships, by guns and airplanes. To raise armies and supply them, to build the navy and support it, and to furnish ships and transport, we must. have money in large amounts. The expenditures of the Gov­ ernment for the ensuing year are estimated at $24,000,000,000, a sum which baffles the imagination to conceive. That vast amount must come one-third from taxes and two-thirds from loans. The success of the Fourth Loan, like those that preceded it is, therefore, abso­ lutely necessary. We must work with the highest speed, as if the war was to end in six months. We must prepare in every direction, as if it was to last for years. Speed and prep­ aration are both expensive. Without the Loans We Cannot Have Either We are fighting to secure a justrighteous and lasting peace. For a complete peace we musthave a complete victory. It must not be a peace of bargain or negotiation. No peace which satisfies Germany can ever satisfy us. No peace that leaves Germany in a position to renew the war against us will be worth having. It will be far from sufficient to gain all our objects on the Western front—Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine, Italia Irredenta. The President with wisdom and foresight and great force expressed his determination to redeem Russia. Russia must not be left in Germany’s hands. That would mean another war. Poland must be free. Slav republics must be established to bar the way between Germany and the East. Serbia and Roumania must be redeemed. All these things are essential. Nothing will bring them bat complete victory and a peace dictated by us and our allies. It is a conflict cf ideas. It is the principle of evil arrayed against the principle of good. It is the battle of freedom and civilization against barbarism and tyranny. We mast win and we shall win, We Cannot Win Without Money, and, Therefore, These Loans Are Vital, and the Country Should Rally in All Its Strength and Subscribe and Oversubscribe the Fourth Loan € Buy Bonds to Your Utmost!

American Democracy Is the Antidote for German Autocracy Every one of our wars has been for the same purpose: to liberate the common man. The Revolution of 1776 was to get the privileged class of England off the backs of the American Colonists who were redeem­ ing this wilderness. The War of 1812 was to rescue Ameri­ can seamen from oppression. The Mexican War was to liberate the settlers of Texas from the whimsy cruelty of Mexico. The Spanish War was to save the people of Cuba from the tyranny of the Spanish nation in the world. He hat been sharpen­ ing our inventive skill and our business ability. Our training has been intensive. Now God says, “America you are come of age. AU I have done for you ia to prepare you for the present conflict, for your real work. Go forth smd make the world a decent place to live in.” At thia time every son of America is called upon to do his utmost. The slacker is a traitor.

The nation’s hundred years of democracy have been but the preparation for its manhood. It is a cheap jibe to say that America was unprepared for this war.

It must be grown, inbred. On this Western Continent Destiny has been training the young Galahad for the rescue of the world. Nature has an antidote for every poison.

No such interpretation was intended. . If you will write the State Food Administrator at Lansing and in­ quire about this he will tell you it is just as proper and just as, patriotic to buy and use your wheat flour and your wheat flour substitutes separately as it is to buy the mixed flour. - Certainly no true American would so unfit himself or herself for . American citizenship as to use the wheat flour and not use the substitutes. That would be treason and the very lightest penalty should be expulsion from this blessed Land of Liberty. We have faith in the loyalty and patriotism of the American peo­ ple, and so has the Food Administration, so that we have permis­ sion to continue to make Lily White “The Flour the Best Cooks Use” A pure 100% wheat flour without any adulteration of any kind, and you have permission to buy it. . The Government has required all mills to make a higher extrac­ tion of flour from the wheat which is a wise and conservative measure. But the quality really has not been impaired. The color of the flour is a little darker than that made from the lower extraction or pre-war flour. However, every atom of LILY WHITE is splendid flour, and bakes deliciously flavored, light, flaky biscuits, pastries and bread. You will be delighted with it. By all means use all your substitutes; every ounce, and econo­ mize in the use of wheat flour. If you are not going to live up to the Food Administration Regu­ lations don’t buy LILY WHITE. It’s too good for slackers. It’s made for Americans. VALLEY CITY MILLING COMPANY Grand Rapids, Mich. for old clothing for men, women and children refugees.

FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE UNIT­ ED STATES LIBERTY LOANS. Credit is the ground on which War grows; the sap in the tree; the ripe fruit which war yields to victorious nations. What is War Credit? It is the en­ listing of future national wealth by the Government to produce fighting strength. What Is High Credit in war? It is the unanimous faith of a na­ tion in the people's ability to make good all the Government’s promises to pay. So long as a fighting nation has that faith and acts accordingly; Vic­ tory is certain. Certain, though long deferred. , Before the United States .entered this war the income of the Nation was estimated at $25,000,000,000 annually. The Government enlisted credit on a vast scale, discounting the ability of Americans to create a much larger annual addition to the national wealth. Already the annual increment of the people has gone be,yond $75,000,000,000. That Is an index of our Credit rtxr^Ntw^ LEN W.

For that man, though three million strong, cannot raise a hand in the cause of democracy, he cannot even raise a hand in self-defense, except for you. It takes millions of dollars just to keep this army fed. It costs thousands of dollars every time one battery of big guns lays down a barrage. He is potent only as you are potent. He can fight only as you will fight. The difference is only this: his fight is expressed in nerve and ammunition, yours in work and dollars. Is it any wonder then, that the United States is spending at the rate of fifty millions of dollars a day in war and war plans? And with that grand total as the interest on a far vaster principal, which must support this colossal cost or all this task will have been in vain, whose fight do you think this is? The Fourth Liberty Loan is the world's biggest drive back of the lines. It is the test of the financial reserves of this entire country of ours. It will gauge the power that you intend to put back of the fighting men in France for the next half year or more to come. The man's in the trench? The fellow's on the supply­ train? The chap’s on the gunner's deck? No, it is yours! | yours, all of you who are left behind, as much or even more than it is the man’s in the trench. It is your fight, Mr. Banker—yours, Mr. Manufac• turer—yours, Mr. Merchant—yours, Mr. Mechanic— * yours, Mr. Worker—yours, Mr. Farmer. This fight is In fact it will show the value you place on the heri­ tage of liberty, which three million men have taken up arms to defend for you to-day. Take care when you sign that subscription blank for Liberty Bonds that the amount you set squares as nearly as it can with all your heart acknowledges this heritage to be worth to you. bY UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BONDS F THE FOURTH LIBERTY Thia Space Contributed to Winning the War by Farmera 4 Merchants Bank.

Then the absent­ minded cuss jumped into the auto and away he went and forgot all about the sack until he got home, when he happened to think about IL Just as he expected, when he went to look for it the sack was gone. Franti­ cally he got up steam in the old Maxwell and away he went on the back track, hunting for that precious gunny-sack, but no sack could he find. Retracing his route and driv­ ing slowly, he discovered beside the road a pile of seed, where some cuss had picked up the sack, dumped the belladonna seed out and decamped with the sack, worth about ten cents, while the seed he had thrown away was worth about as much as the same weight in gold.

And now the Earn and Give club of the younger girls of the Young Wom­ en's Christian association is organ­ ized to turn those Thrift lessons into giving. The children of America have been turning in pennies and Dickies and pasting a green stamp on their Thrift card. Tbe Earn and Give club can now use some of those cards and War Savings stamps in their campaign among the younger people for the united war fund. This fall when the war council at the Y. W. C. A. made plans for the 1918 war drive, it Included In its pro­ gram the rule that no young girls un­ der eighteen can de any soliciting, on the streets or otherwise. They can give, but they can only give by earn­ ing. Consequently in order to co-or­ dinate the efforts of tbe girts In all the districts over the country, the Earn and Give club is enrolling members and has given out an estimate of $5 apiece to be earned for the war fund campaign by tbe American girls who stilt count their age in 'teens. Five dollars apiece from the younger girls of the country will mean that the na­ tion as a whole will dll its charitable organizations'^ war chest Some high'school girl In New York dty is going to earn her $5 by shining her own shoes instead of stopping at the Greek stand on her way to school and by making her own sandwiches for her noon lunch. Out in Iowa tbe girl who has been spending 15 cents plus war tax for a movie three nights a week is going to draw a line through the movie habit except when there is an especially good bill. More than one girl plans to clean all her own gloves this winter and to salvage all the pa­ per and collections of junk about the bouse which should be sold to the junk man to be worked over Into some pro­ ductive Industry. The girls in their ’teens are going to earn instead of ask others for the money. They are to sacrifice and give In their own names and older women will make the public requests for money elsewhere. Many of the girls who are waiting to Join the Earn and Give club are al­ ready Patriotic leaguers, and they have learned several practical lessons in the thrift that will make them effective members of the new club by their con­ servation of fruits and vegetables. They have canned and pickled. Now when the end of summer brings the beginning of school they will change their thrift Into winter thrift and be­ gin saving their $5 for the Y. W. C. A. war fund. “Wherever You Ara la the Western Front" is the slogan which the Earn and Give club has adopted. Anno, one wiry thlrteen-year-old daughter of New York's East aide, who was one of the first and youngest members to-Join the campaign at a New York settlement house, had to have it explained to her that Instead of western front meaning fight and fight meaning fists, the westtern front means work and work means *fhe girl who Joins the Earn and Give club win discover that In con­ junction with her working and saving In order that her .club will furnish its quota of the money that Is going to help the girls like herself In France and Belgium, she will also find numer­ ous ways in the community to help the war that she had never dreamed of. 'She will see that all tbe fruit pits and stones that can be saved from her own dining table and from those of her neighbors, are dropped into the little red barrel at the corner. In order that the carbon which the seeds contain can be used in making charcoal for the American soldiers' gas masks. She will save all the tin foil that she sees for the Red Cross. She will help collect clothing for the French and Belgium orphans and perhaps send them some School girls In India, children from squalid, dingy homes, with absolutely Belgian and Armenian relief when they themselves were not getting dedxlvo blow.

Murray is altogether too pre­ cipitous when he gets into that au­ to of his—in too big a hurry to get away. Consequently when he back­ ed away from the curb on Main street Monday afternoon he went out into the street with a rush and his rear wheel struck the hub on the rear wheel of a car being driven by Mrs. Ed. Woodard. Mrs. Woodard saw what was coming and tried to get away from it, but couldn’t swing out quite far enough. Crash! And the crowd gathered. The Wooflard car was unhurt except for a bruise on the hub, but the rear wheel on ths Mur­ ray car had to go to the hospital. CARD OF THANKS.

The List of Substitutes is a long one so that every housewife will be able to select the ones best suited to the tastes of herself and family. Com Meal, Com Flour, Barley Flour, Rye Flour, Buckwheat Flour, Oat Flour, Rice Flour, Potato Flour, Sweet Potato Flour, Peanut Flour, Bean Flour, Kaffir Flour, Milo Flour and Feterita Flour and Meals may be purchased as substitutes. . All of the above, except Rye Flour, must be used on the basis of at least 1 pound of substitute to every 4 pounds of pure wheat flour. Rye Flour must be used on the basis of at least 2 pounds to every 3 pounds of pure wheat flour. Lily White /‘The Flour the Best Cooks Use" is a 1007c pure wheat flour, so it is necessary to buy substitutes with it on the above basis. However, Lily White is so well milled and of such splendid quality you will not experience difficulties in using substitutes with it on the basis given by the Food Administration. In fact, you will be delighted with the splendid baking results you will be able to obtain from the use of LILY WHITE FLOUR and the Substitutes.

Now For Gloves! Important Information on Liberty Bonds Given Out by Govemment Officials. Important Information concerning the registration of Liberty IzO«u bonds, as given out by the bond department of (he Federal Reserve Bank of Chi­ cago contains the following quotation from >i letter from the treasury de­ partment : “With reference to accepting sub^ scriptions for bonds to be registered In the names of persons giving only initials rather than the full name, I have to say that It is the tritent of the department, not for 'its own sake, but for the sake of the holders of reg­ istered bonds, to have them registered in such manner as to enable the said holders, or their* legal representatives. lo.dlftpo«e of them in the simplest and readiest manner. Bonds issued to wom­ en -under their initials, or under the toltlnls of their husbands, are not read­ ily transferable in caae of the death of the holder. “Though letters of administration would be Issued in the legal name of the deceased, and the bonds would be Inscrllied In her nnme, under her ini­ tials, or those of her husband, as the case might be. the letters of admin­ istration and the bonds would not agree as to the name, and therefore the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A. Smith, say, would have to prove that she and Mrs. Thomas W. Smith (or Mrs. S. Smith) were one and the same person. It is to avoid troubles of this character that the department has in­ sisted on receiving the legal name of persons subscribing for registered bonds. . “Of course, the department cannot refuse to Issue bonds under Initials if the parties interested Insist upon It, but it is requested that you. lu all cases where It Is possible, insist on re­ ceiving the full names'of persons sub­ scribing for registered bonds."

PatriotismPreparedness You’d think mighty little of a soldier in these days who went to war armed with a bow and arrow. Just so with the farmer who expects to raise a record crop with old out-of-date implements. Preparedness is as necessary to the farmer a* to the soldier. The Fight With Nature yourself what Tour boy’ gets put of it. when you lay down a new $100 bill and *ay: “I want another hundreddollar Liberty Bond?" Here are some fact* and-figure* officially made up by the war department: Your on* hundred dollar Liberty Bond will buy your boy one outfit of clothing and sleeping gear. Bmonntlng to $01.63. The change is 98.37 and that la just enough to give him his "eats" for 19H days. This war Is now In Its fifth year— has been running on about 1,500 day*. The nineteen and a half days’ board left for the boy out of your hundreddollar Liberty Bond wouldn't amount to much If the fighting should go on a.few-years morel That 991.63 outfit would be pretty well used up at the end of. a few months of campaign­ ing. Your hundred dollar war bond show* the best possible disposition on your part, but unless you buy more than one, somebody else has to put up money to keep your boy's hungry stom­ ach lined with bacon and fighting food. That illustrates In a simple way the urgent necessity for liberality In buy­ ing Fourth Liberty Bonds. What you gave the . government on the first, secon^ and third Ioans has been used up long ago. Your boy Is “over there? risking his life and- all that he has every minute of the day. Sure­ ly It Is “up to you" to do absolutely all you can to keep that boy fed’ and clothed and cared for. But one point was overlooked In fig­ uring the proceeds of the hundred dallar war bond. It bought the boy an outfit of clothes and 19 days’ board, but it didn’t tJuy him a gun nor a trench knife—not even a revolver, or a hand grenade. Worse than all that the hundred dollars didn’t cover knife, fork or spoon; nor did It give the boy a pick and shovel for Intrenching when rthe Boche fire gets too hot Somebody else had to buy another bond to supply those things and give your boy the ammunition be needs for offense and defense. Look at a few more figures: When your boy goes over the top there .must be a nice barrage laid down to protect him. Each Tfi-mlllimeter shell that fa fired costs 913. Each 6-lnch shell costs $20. The 12Inch high explosive shell loaded costs ।about $270. The 16-lnch shell loaded with TNT costs about $1,000, and the smokeless powder to fire it costs $325 more. The gun It Is fired from sets the government back $175.­ 000. That. Is not all: the wear and 'tear on big caliber guns is terrible, so that the life of the tube is very brief. AH these things point clearly to the mistake people make when they say: “Oh. I have bought several war bonds. I think I have don» my share." That Is miles from the truth. You have not ’done your share as long as there Ira dollar of your capital or In­ come that you don't absolutely have to have to keep life In your body. All k the rest ought to be spent for Fourth Liberty Bonds. PLEA BY GOLD STAR MOTHER Tells Chicago Women Why Everyone Should Buy Bonds to Baric Boys. By MRS. JAMES C. ELY of Chicapo Gold Star Mother. It would be hard for me to express more earnestly an appeal for the fourth Liberty-loan thnn the message sent to ns from our son shortly before his death when he said: “It Is an In­ vestment—not a loss—when a man dies for his country." ’ Our boys are dying for their coun­ try—can there be too great an Invest­ ment for those of us who have only money to give? WHAT YOUR LIBERTY BOND BUYS What Is to be done with all the money that la being asked for on the Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan? Pay for battleships, submarines, and a thousand other things -to be used by our boys on the land, on the sea, in the air and under the sea. To com­ plete a single battleship now under construction requires $23,075,000, and * battle cruiser takes $24,900,000. A scout cruiser take* $7,220,000, and a destroyer $1,590,000. A coast subma­ rine costs $850,000 and a seagoing sub­ marine $1,430,000. For artillery, automatic rifles, and small: arms, and for ammunition for them, we have spent $3,700,000,000.

But the big push is not alone .with General Pershing and his boys in khaki. Here, in this country, in this town, are the men who will make the , big push effective—a reality. It is to the boys and the men who registered on September 12 that the government looks to make possible the effective­ ness of General Pershing and his boys overseas. To assist in this big work thi gov­ ernment.has urged the War Industrial Training Institute, located at Grand Rapids, and operated with the local draft boards, the war dep 'rtment, and the federal board for vocational educa.tion, to extend its work. Early in the spring the institute prepared regis­ tered men for preferred positions in the army — soldier mechanics — men behind the lines to repair the war ma­ chines and guns for the boys in the treqches. Genera! Pershing estimated that it required from three to six men behind the lines for every man who carried a gun. The institute assisted in this work by teaching airplane con­ struction, motor truck work, machine shop practice, acetylene welding, ap­ plied -lectricity, airplane engine re­ pair, Accounting, signal corps school WITHIN THE CAMP A long, low buildIn. of frame con­ struction, attractively planned. with wide veranda* and a homelike aspect Outalde are hanging the flags—the Stare and Stripes, which must soon be taken in as It la Dearly sunseL and another flag tM-arlng a little triangle of blue and the letter* Y.

There is the sound of a piano and some one is singing. The woman, who is slight and young and tired-looking. puts her heavy suit­ case down on the walk and shifts the baby she is carrying ta the other arm. She listens a minute, then picks up the lottnge and walk, bravely up to the front door. Some one has heard her coming and Is there to meet her. Some one always Is in places like this. Tbe door is thrown open and a kind wom­ an’s voice says: “Oh, do come to and rest Let me take the beby." The baby is passed oyer and the stranger, worn from a tong journey, tired and sad.

Now the government urges that in Fine line of k addition'to training registered men for military service, that attention be OPTICAL GOODS given to instruction along industrial lines. This means .that the instituteNashville, Mich must enlarge its scope of work. It has done so. The courses have been so arranged as to meet the industrial emergencies and military necessities. These courses are so arranged that an unskilled man may become a skilled mechanic of sufficient ability to step right into war work, reflect credit upon himself nnd be of material as­ sistance in making the big push a reality. It will include all registered men from 18 to 45 years off age. ORDER FOR PUBLICATION. The Grand Rapids manufacturers have responded nobly to the call.

Let him begin at the pens when the live stock comes in, let him try to buy a nice bunch of fat steers quietly and at his own price without some­ body's bidding against him. Let him realize the scrupulous care taken at tbe plant that not one thing is lost or wasted in order that costs may be held to a minimum. Let him go up into the office where market reports are coming in,—and reports of what other concerns are doing. Let him watch the director of the Swift Refrig­ erator fleet, maneuvering it over the face of the country like a fleet of battleships at sea.

I think without doubt the most sat­ isfactory way of using it is in the quick breads, pancake* or none of the. dark cakes and chokies. In any recipe for cakes, cookies or puddings flavored with chocHate or spices you can use three-fourths ot a cup of barley flour for each cup of wheat flour called for. nnd if you don't tell your family they won't know It. But don't expect to use too much of .it your yeast bread; for it is a heavy flour and too much will make the bread fall. Even If tbs r«.-clj>e does not call for soda-I would, suggest always using a little to help overcome the character­ istic sour taste which is objectionable to so many. .During tbe past months there has been a great deal of barley flour on the market, which has been of very poor quality, but I believe we may expeat a better grade the coming season, since its manufacture has been standardized by the government. Some Barley Flour recipes: . Chocolate Bread.

My dearest mother and a’ll:-— Well, mother we are all alive af­ ter the most terrible night I ever saw in my whole life, nor do I want to»see its equal again. Oh! Oh! it was awful—there was a ot fire everywhere. At three o’clock in the afternoon it was as dark as midnight, but no one realized the' real danger until about seven o'clock, when the wind came up like a huricane. I never heard it blow so hard before. The smoke was so thick in the house, with all the doors and windows ^closed, which frightened us so that we were in tears all the time. I went out and walked one block, and the smoke and cinders nearly suffocated me, as the north side ot the city was aflame. Tell pa the country club we showed him burned to the ground and all back of Lester park was burned. There was no warding, mother, the majority of the people owning cars took them out, hardly knowing where they were going, only to rescue the people. Within ten minutes' time the fire was upon them, with no chance for es­ cape—the cars and their occupants perished while trying to escape. The flames leaped thirty and forty feet high. Thousands of people are here in Duluth, some of the most pitiful sights you ever could imagine, clothes burned off from them, and holes burned to the bones and still they seem alive. The Armory has opened up their Red Cross service and hundreds are busy helping. Think of twenty­ eight towns wiped off of the map, without one building left, and tbe terrible stories told of the way peo­ ple fought to save their lives. You can imagine at cue time the whole of Duluth, was threatened. Some birthday wasn't It? A home guard told me that some of the bodies when picked up would fall all to piece?, so that it was impossible to bury them. Please read the papers I sent which will tell you how terrible it was. Ov­ er 1,200 people burned within twenty minutes. Duluth 1b safe now as It has burned all around it, but Cass Lake is still in danger.

ALL of the Candidates are LOYAL, TRUE-BLUE Americans, qualified in EVERY way to fill the offices for which they have been nominated.

Groesbeck For State Treasurer For Auditor General For Attorney General CONGRESSIONAL Truman H. Newberry For United States Senator Edward L. Hamilton For Congress Muri H. DeFoe For State Senator This Advertisement is paid for by the Barry County Republican Committee �Two Presidents of the ■ United States Wrice Commander Newberry From Theodore Roosevelt '■ Oyster Bay, Long Island, October 19,1918. Commander Truman H. Newberry, New York City. My dear Commander: I congratulate you on your nomination, but far more do I con­ gratulate Michigan and all our people.' It was my good fortune to have you serve under me as Secretary of the Navy, and I can testify personally to your efficiency and your disinterested and single-minded zeal for the public service. To a very peculiar de­ gree you have stood for that kind of government which puts the interest of the people as a whole first and foremost, and treats all other considerations as negligible, when the public weal is in­ volved. The record made by you and your two sons in this war is typical of your whole attitude as a public servant. Both your boys at once entered the Navy, and are now on the high seas. You sought employment abroad; when that was refused you, you ac­ cepted any position that was offered in which you could render public service. The nomination of Mr. Ford makes the issue sharp and clean. It is not primarily an issue between the Republican party and the Democratic party, for Mr. Ford does not seem to have any firm political convictions, and was content to take the nomination on any ticket without regard to what the general principles of the men supporting that ticket were; and his memory about past politics is so hazy that although he has mentioned a Republican candidate fdr president for whom he thinks he once voted, it does not appear that this is possible, unless he is in error as to his own •" age. The issue is infinitely more important than any merely political issue. It is the issue of straight Americanism, of straight patriotism, and of preparedness for the tasks of peace and war, as against a particularly foolish and obnoxious type of pacifism, preached in peace and practiced in war. This is the first time in the history of our country in which a canflidate for high office has been nominated who has spent enormous sums of money in de­ moralizing the people of the United States on a matter of vital interest to their honor and welfare. The expenditures on behalf of pacifism by Mr. Ford in connection with the Peace Ship, and in connection with his great advertising campaign in favor of the • McLemore resolution and of the pacifist and pro-Germanattitude against our participation in the war, was as thoroughly demoraliz­ ing to the conscience of the American people as anything that has ever taken place. The failure of Mr. Ford’s son to go into the army at this time, and the approval by the father of the son’s refusal, represent exactly what might be expected from the moral disintegration inevitably produced by such pacifist propaganda Mr. Ford’s son is the son of a man of enormous wealth. If he went to war he would leave his wife and child immeasurably dis­ tant from all chance of even the slightest financial strain of trouble, and his absence would not in the smallest degree affect th; efficiency of the business with which he is connected. But the son stays at home, protesting and appealing when he is drafted, and now escaping service. Your two sons have eagerly gone to th? front. They stand ready to pay with'their lives for the honor and the interest of the America'S'people, and while they thus serve America with fine indifference to all personal cost, the son of wealthy Mr. Ford sits at home in ignoble safety, and his father defends and advises such conduct. It would be a grave misfortune to the country to have Mr. Ford in the Senate when any question of continuing the war or discussing terms of peace may arise, and it would be an equally grave misfortune to have him in any way deal with the problerhs of reconstruction in this country. . Michigan is facing the test, clear-cut and without shadow of a chance for misunderstanding, between patriotism and American­ ism on one side, and on the other pacifism, and that foolish sharqcosmopolitanism which thinks it clever to deride the American flag, and to proclaim that it would as soon be aHindoo or China­ man as an American. If there should be at any time in the future a Hindoo Senate, and it should choose, in a spirit qf cosmopolitanism, to admit outsiders, there is no reason why Mr. Ford should not aspire to membership therein; but he would be signally out of place in the American Senate so long as that body is dominated by men who zealously believe in the American ideal and faithfully, endeavor to serve the American people. Wishing you all success, I am Very faithfully yours, From William H. Taft 931 Southern Building^ Washington, D. C., October 19,1918. • My dear Commander Newberry: * I write to congratulate you on being theRepublican candidate for Senator in the State of Michigan. I sincerely hope that you will be elected, and I am very certain that if you are, you will ren­ der to the State and to the country a valuable service in your high office. I feel that I can say this from personal observation of the way in which you discharged your official duties both while you were Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and while you were in the tame Cabinet with me under President Roosevelt. It is of the highest importance that in the settlement of the important ques­ tions growing out of this war, we should have men in the senate of your experience in governmental matters, and of your political views. The Democratic majority in Congress has not been one upon which the President or the country could depend for the adoption of measures adequate to the winning of the war. The > Republican majority in both Houses, that the legislative branch <jf the Government will wisely cooperate with the Executive Admin­ istration, and by constructive criticism make that Administra­ tion more effective than if Democratic majorities in both Houses are retained. With Mr. Ford’s known pacifist views, carried to an extreme, indeed, with his nondescript political affiliations, anj with his engaging in this canvass ahnply at the instance of tljj President, the people of Michigan are placed in a dilemma ip respect to how he will represent them. He will either go into tjj^ Democratic caucus and follow implicitly the wish of the President* who induced him to run, or no one can know what he will do/nqf even Mr. Ford, in contingencies that are likely to arise. If you are elected, the people of Michigan will know that you will act wit£ the loyal Republicans and that you will back the President to t^? utmost when he is seeking Congressional assistance for the win­ ning of the war, and that you will be independent and courageo^J in pointing out the mistakes of administration, with a view tQ their remedy. I earnestly hope that the electors of Michigan will choose you Sincerely yours, Hon. Truman H. Newberry, New York, N. Y. .

Their plans are all made. It ia not an unusual thing for three generations to be using LILY WHITE FLOUR at the same time. That’s one of the remarkable things about the flour.

Not Only a, Duty Which Every Round Oak Good We saw b boy, down at the Michi­ gan Central yards the other day, rid­ ing in the 'cab of a freight engine which waa switching cars about the yards. (Now you mustn't say any­ thing about thia so that th? railroad officials will get hold of' it, because that’s a violation of the railroad rules.) But anyway, the beatific smile beaming from that lad's mug was worth u bushel of wheat to see, and It brought back one of the hal­ cyon days of our own youthful years, when old Ed. ^iaff, who pulled the work train over this division away back when the road was new. picked us up one day and took us on a ride to Middllevlle and back. Gosh ■ alfriday, and that was SOME RIDE. We have had many rides since then, on the cushions in the varnished cars, and even in our reckless days when money didn't worry’ us. in a Pullman, but not for all of them would we trade the memory of that trip on that old wood-burning, bell-stacked en­ gine with four drivers and steam leaking from every bolt-head in the. boiler. Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer never had a day like that one, and the memory will linger while lite lasts. And old Ed. could drive mi engine, too. Up and down this old road, as full of bumps and hollows then as a Flanders battle field, for­ ward or backward he drove that old relic at break-neck' speed and never a spill or an accident. The old boy passed afcray years ago, but we sure hope he's getting his reward for' bls kindness in giving that pleasure trip to a dirty, bare-footed kid. Of course, we got a helluva whaling when we got home that night, but never'a whaling was more welcome or hurt less.

GLASGOW • TOOT YOUR HORN. In 1907 two Detroit automobile companies filed articles of associa­ tion -snd designed medium-priced models. When they were put on sale there was very little difference in the details of construction, and their appearance was about the same. They had really been designed by the same engineer. He was orig­ inally employed by one of the con­ cerns, but went to work for the oth­ er after completing most of the lay­ outs. and on joining the second com­ pany he found positions for some of the technical staff who had worked for him on his former job. Result: two cars at about the same price, equally good-looking and* eq­ ually well constructed. One of the companies is going strong yet, and the other failed in a. ryear and a half. The second com-' Hard blow we had the other day, when we had to return a substantial check handed to us by one of our business men. He had found on his bill file an old statement from the print shop and promptly he drew a check and banded it over. Brought it right in and laid It on the desk and we thanked him in our very best style and be went away. A few min­ utes later, starting to credit him with the lovely check, what did we find but that the account had already been paid, some time before, and we had no place on the book for the other check and had to take it back to him. Consarn the dratted luck, anyway, and taxes soon coming due. pany's car never caught on with the; public. The president of the first concern was an advertising expert of national reputation, who had got into the auto­ mobile game because he saw money in it. He hardly knew a jackshaft from a fishing pole, and had made bls name by pushing the sale of la­ bor-saving office, appliances. But the nature of the produet didn't mat­ ter. He understood publicity. We are all salesmen tn a sense. An office boy applying for a job is mar­ Sitting here in the old den, cuss­ keting his services, and the one who ing the kaiser and all bis hordes, and makes the best impression gets the mad because we can't have an active job. It isn’t enough to have a good hand in the demolishing of the hfin commodity for sale; you must let machine, we at the same time get-a your customer know it, and its noth­ lot of fun out of it. We have a han­ ing to his detriment if you describe dy old swatter lying near, and ev­ your, product convincingly. He is ery time we see a pestiferous rty we not forced to buy; but it is to his dis­ just say to ourself “There's one of advantage if he never learns all the the darned boches now," and the swat merits of what you have to sell. that fly gets puts him where we hope the kaiser soon will be. Being as how we know Jack Furnisa never takes a drink, we can t help but wonder just how it happen­ ed that his'beat clothes were all plas­ tered with mud from head to foot when he got off the train Sunday night. None of our business, of course, Jack, only we just wonder. Ludendorf has resigned, so the Germans say, but who knows any­ thing about what the Germans say. About all of the truthful Germans left there many years before the war. You can trust 'em about like you c&n the dog who growls and wags bls tail; hard ip tell which end to be­ lieve. f Furthermore, if the dam Germans are ready to quit and -willing to com­ ply with the demands of the Allies, aren’t they clever enough to get all the best of it in the settlement? Seems, to ue they haven't been any­ where near hard enough licked yet. DOWER! That’s the big thing x you expect in a motor car. Power to make the hills look like the level. Power to give you SPEED—and FLEXIBILITY-and quick GETAWAY — and all the other desirable features of a REAL automobile. There are two big things every Yank soldier wants—he wants to get the kaiser and he wants to fight his way to Berlin. The whole bunch will come home disgruntlbd if Wilson makes peace with them now, while Germany is without a scar. “More Power to You”—and we can GIVE you more power. We can give you every ounce of power that the maker of your car built it to deliver. . Shutting off even the near beer factories. Nothing left to drink but cough medicine and cider, and the cider has a penalty attached after it is one day old. Tough luck for us old timers. Drive your car in. Thia is a BUSY garage, but we always have time to give QUICK service—EXPERT service—to every sort or condition of motor trouble. That same old slippery kaiser is still running things in Germany, and the Allies make a serious mistake if they think anything else. Give us a chance to PROVE UP.

Don’t make It necessary for the Apportionment and Review Committee, which the Attorn­ ey General says has authority to en­ force an equitable support of war causes in Barry county, to exercise any authority.

The Odd Fellows made a fine ap­ pearance in the parade Monday and were greeted with much applause along the line, but we wonder how the boys would have felt had they known that one little girl from Maple Grove thought they represented the kaiser In uniform with a bunch of German soldiers.

The spot-light of public opinion and public scorn is very soon to be turned upon those slackers who ab­ solutely refuse to do all or even part of their share toward the important war work of the country.

The production is not In any sense, a war play, but a love story of thei great war, with the conflict serving as the grim background. Mr. Griffith and many of h|s prin­ cipal players, including Lillian and Dorothy Gish and Mrs. Gish, mother of- the two girls; Robert Harron and George A. Siegmann, were under act­ ual bombardment three times, on one occasion for a period covering four hours. Mr., Griffith had to wear a steel helmet to protect him from shrapnel and a gas mask to protect his lungs during the taking of many of the stir­ ring scenes. Many of the most striking scenes in the film owe their effects to tbe remarkable courage of Mr. Griffith and his intrepid camera­ man, “Billy" Bitzer, who was with him under Are hundreds ot times. Neither Mr. Griffith nor any of his company received Injuries other than a slight wound in Mr. Griffith's arm from flying shrapnel. David Lloyd George, Prime Minis­ ter of England, received Mr. Griffith in private audience in the British cabinet rooms in Downing street, London. Upon Mr. Griffith’s depart­ ure, Lloyd George said: “God speed you in your great work and grant that you may accomplish your de­ sires.” In tbe prologue of the .story of "Hearts of the World" Lloyd George is seen shaking hands with Mr. Griffith prior to the latter’s de­ parture for the French lines. More than 120,000 feet ot film were taken, although only 12000 feet are used in the production. . David Ward Griffith was the first American ever to set foot m the front line trenches.

EQUITABLE CARL A. LENTZ Agent Call Their Bluff The very first time you hear any one say "Michigan Flour is all right for pastry but it won’t bake good bread” just tell them to guess again. Any one making so silly a statement is either bluffing or betraying a lot of ignorance. Call their bluff—quiak! We have been making flour for more than tl.irty-five years and dur­ ing that time have tested practically every variety of wheat grown in the United States. It is our business to know what kind of wheat makes good flour and what kind doesn’t Furthermore we do know. We use a blend of the best Michigan and Western wheats in the manufacture of Lily White 'The Hour the best cooks use because we have found that a blend of hard and soft wheats makes a better flour for home use than either a straight soft winter or hard spring wheat. In other words, we obtain the best qualities of each variety of wheat by blending, and separate the undesirable qualities and impurities during the milling process. Thousands upon thousands of the best cooks in the land are daily baking the most delicious bread from Lily White. These cooks know why they are using Lily White Flour. No one need attempt to tell them. The splendid results they have obtained, and are obtaining from its use, is convincing enough. Our Domretlc Scl.ne.

GLASGOW Everybody Laughed, Even Fred. Fred Bullis got one of the sur­ prises of hia: giddy young life at tbe Michigan Central station the other day. The station is a popular hang­ out of Fred's, who likes to sit in the office and smoke and visit with the boys. Recently the railroad author­ ities have posted notices strictly for­ bidding smoking, with the injunction that employes who violate the rule will be discharged and others who violate it will be summarily ejected from the premises. Well, Fred dropped in, climbed to his accustom­ ed place on the table, pulled out a big black cigar and lit it, and started in to tell a few lies and enjoy life. Fay Green, the baggageman, noticed the maneuver, grinned: a sly little grin and slipped over to the freight house and /rame back with Virgil Kidder, the freight agent, who is some husky. When they got back. Fay called Fred's attention to the sign and asked him If he could read It. Fred said "Sure I can read It. Why?" "Well." Fay replied, "if you persist in smoking you will have to be ejected.” That tickled Fred, who Is quite a husky himself, and he asked "But who will do ttF* "We will", replied Fay. and he gave Vir­ gil the slgwal, whereupon Kidder grabbed Bullis, Green opened the door, and before Bullis could straight­ en up or catch his breath he was tot­ ed out through the door and deposit­ ed none too gently upon the paving brick of the station platform.

He put his grip and his shoes inside the baggage room at the here this week, which I shall sell at station, and after he had helped load the stock he went to change. He found the suit-case with the clothes, all right, but the shoes were not there. He knew he had «et them If you have not already bought your flour, get right beside the grip, and so he knew that somebody had swiped them. He your order in now.

There arc many sound repro­ ducing devices about the merits of which strong assertions are made. —. There is but one which has ever of­ fered to prove the truth of its claims. The only instrument which bears the stamp of a great investor’s name—the only instrument which has been subjected to the searching test of actual comparison with the artist’s living voice is— The New Edison "The Phonograph With a Soul" The makers of the NEW EDISON assert that it RE-CREATES the artist’s S or tastruroent with such complete fidelity that no human ear can disttoh the artist from the RE-CREATION.

Swift is confined to her bed by illness resulting from an ac­ cident which occurred at her home Saturday . morning. Sue was en­ deavoring to" light her gasoline stove, but thought the gasoline was not running into the generator cup, so she drew more gasoline into the cup and poured It into the cup under the generator, without noticing that she was Retting a double supply. When she held a lighted match to the gen­ erator, the gasoline flashed up into her face, burning .her quite badly and setting her clothing on fire. As she jumped back from the flames she tipped over a stool on which the cup. containing the gasoline stood, and this also caught fire, spreading the flames all around her. She final­ ly succeeded in besting out the fire, but not until she was badly burned about the hands and arms, and some of the kitchen furniture was badly scorched.

Swift & Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only onefourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a pound means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point qut that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 a ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair quality is worth about $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit on coal is 3'/2 per cent of the $7.00.value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only P/, per cent of the $400.00 value. The profit has little effect on price in either case, but has less effect on the price of beef than on the price of coal. Coal may be stored in the open air indefinitely; beef must be kept in expensive coolers because it is highly perishable end must be refrigerated. Coalis handled by the carload or ton; beef is deliv­ ered to retailers by the pound or hundred weight Methods of handling are vastly different. Coal to handled in open cars; beef most be shipped in refrigerator cars at an even temperature. Fairness to the public, fairness to Swift ft Company, fairneaa to the packing industry, demands that these indisputable facts be considered. It to impossible to disprove Swift & .Company's state­ ment that its profits on beef are so small as to have practically no effect on prices. Swift & Company, U. S.

What a sad old world! Am enclosing a copy of my new Peace song, which Is being sung here In churches- and peace celebrations. Thought perhaps my old home town folks would like to use It too, so you may introduce it there If you like. Now the terrible war Is ended, we will surely have a glad Thanksgiv­ ing this year. Remember me with love to all my old friends, as you happen to see-them. You say there are many people moving away from Nashville, so I suppose there are many coming In to take their places. Am afraid I could not stand the cold winters In the east any more. We have not needed a fire yet this fall to keep warm. My niece, Ada, writes from Grand Rapids how cold ft is there. We see Greta often; don't know what we would do with out her. Now please write again soon, and all the news.

Home Ties Most Precious Those having the most money, the biggest house, the highest salary, or the best automobile, are not necessarily the richest nor the hap­ piest Riches consist of more that material things, and happiness comes from within, not from without Real home ties cannot be bought nor sold; they are developed from close association; by sacrifice on the pan of one for the pleasure of the other; by sharing one another’s joys and sorrows; by actually living each for die other. A good wife and mother is one of the precious blessings of life which money c^pnot buy, corrupt nor provide. She iz the life of the home and shapes the destiny of the Nation. . She is no slacker. Her thoughts are for the welfare of her husband and children and her country. To properly guide the footsteps of her loved ones, and to have them well clothed and properly nourished is always uppermost in her mind.

Common Colds Highly Catching—Im­ portance of Suitable Clothing—Could Save 100,000 Uvea. Washington, D. C.—With the subsid­ ence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of health officers Is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a largo number of deaths, especially during the-winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this win­ ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health Instructions. "The present epidemic,” said Sur­ geon General Blue, “has taught by bit­ ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a alight cold may go on to pneumonia and. death. Although the worst of the epidemic is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecognized, which will be danger spots to be guarded against” The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that*after a treat fire, Faying, "No fire chief who understands bis business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis­ appeared. On the contrary, be con­ tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there Is dan­ ger of the fire rekindling from smol­ dering embers." “Then you fear another outbreak of Influenza?" he was asked. "Not neces­ sarily another large epidemic," said the Surgeon General, “but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be compelled to pay n heavy death toll from pneumo­ nia and other respiratory diseases. Common Colds Highly Catching. "It Is encouraging to observe that people are beginning to learn that or dlnary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person to person by means of droplets of germ laden mucus. Such droplets are sprayed Into the air when careless or Ignorant people cough or sneeze with­ out covering their mouth and nose. It Is also good to know that people have learned sqpiethlng about the value of fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respira­ tory diseases (coughs, colds, pneumo­ nia. etc.) are infrequent; In the fall, as people begin to remain Indoors, the respiratory diseases increase; tn the winter, when people are prone to stay In badly ventilated, overheated rooms, the respiratory, diseases becotpe very prevalent Suitable Clothing Important "Still another factor In the produc­ tion of colds, pneumonia and other re­ spiratory diseases is carelessness or Ig­ norance of the people regarding suit­ able clothing during the seasons when the weatlier suddenly changes, sitting In warm rooms too heavily dressed or, what is even more common, especially among women, dressing so liglitly thnt windows are kept closed in order to be comfortably warm. This is a very in­ jurious practice. Could Sava 100,000 Lives. "I believe we could easily save one hundred thousand lives annually In the United States If all the people would adopt the system of fresh air living followed, for example, In tuber­ culosis sanatoria. There is nothing mysterious about It—no specific medi­ cine, no vaccine. The important thing is right living, good footTimll plenty of fresh air. Droplet Infection Explained In Pictures. "The Bureau of Public Health, Treasury Department, has Just Issued a striking poster drawn by Berryman, the well-known Washington cartoonist The poster exemplifies the modern method of health education. A few years ago, under similar circumstances, the hgnlth authorities would have is­ sued an official dry but scientifically accurate bulletin teaching the role of droplet Infection in the spread of re­ spiratory diseases. The only ones who would have understood the bulletin would have been those who already knew all about the subject The man In the street the plain citizen and the many minions who toU for their living would have had no time and no desire to wadexxhrough the technical phrase­ ology.''

Human life will be lengthened and human happiness increased when we learn better to guard ourselves against the danger of the ever present germs of disease. Powdered boric is one of Nature’s moat wonderful gifts to man, for it enables us, through antisepsis, to ward off the danger of infection. Owing to its wonderful antiseptic properties it can­ not be too highly recommended for liberal use in the care of the person wherever and whenever exposed to the germs of disease. Pure powdered boric may be used with absolute freedcTt end safety in all the natural cavities of the tody. To realize, how healing it is, yet how safe, we have but to recall that the physician almost always pre-' scribes it as the principal ingredient of on eye water. The manufacture of powdered boric has been brought to such a high degree of efficiency by one con­ cern that if we always remember to specify "20 Mule Team Powdered Bone” we know that we have the real article in full strength.

A solution of 20 Mule Team Powdered Boric in water makes an absolute and positive antiseptic for all per­ sonal use. It is excellent for a shampoo, for it kills the germ which makes the dandruff that spoils the lustre of the hair and causes it to fall out and cease to grow.

A Nashville physician had a house full of company or Thanksgiving dinner. 'When the company had gathered around the roast chicken, the disciple of Esculapfus cdxed up the hungry-looking bunch and began to wonder whether there was enough provender to go around. To make things safe, he commenced giving them the history of his carving knife, which he said was an old operating knife which had seen valiant service in many an intricate carving opera­ tion, following this with minute de­ scription of various of the operations. But he reckoned with the wrong crowd, for his tale only served ap­ parently to whet their appetites and the chickens disappeared just the same, so thnt instead of having creamed chicken oxi toast the next morning, for breakfast, as he had an­ ticipated. he had to fall back on the old reliable bacon and eggs. They say •'Familiarity breeds con­ tempt.” Vic Furniss ought to know. All his life he has herded sheep, but he hasn't* yet learned to keep hia eyes open when in the presence of a papa sheep. Vic was down at the stock yards Saturday and bought a small hog, which he thought would fit into his larder all right this win­ ter. He cut the new purchase, out from the bunch of. other stock In the yards and was driving it out to the gate, when a sleepy old ram caught him amidships and downed him the first shot. Vic managed to get bold oj the fence and clamber out of fur­ ther danger, but he sat there for some time and nursed that leg be­ fore he could make up his mind that it wasn’t broken, and the next time he gets into a pen with a. vicious old buck he will probably keep a weath­ er eye open, no matter how sleepy the old boy looks. Clarence Buchellor doesn't make a practice of letting anything get away from him. but he bumped into a surprise one day last week. He bought a buggy at an auction and tied it behind hia rig and took it home. That is. he suppose he did. until he got out at home to open the gate, when he found the buggy miss­ ing. .Well. he turned around and drove back to look up that buggy, for which ho had paid his good money, and after driving several miles, near­ ly to the scene of the auction, found the vehicle, where it had broken loose and stopped In the road.

An International Service Built on Tiny Profits Per Pound Some industries have been able to get in step with war demands more quickly than others. In many cases mighty plants have sprung up—but at a prodigious cost. The packing industry was able to adapt itself to unheard of demands more quickly, perhaps, than any other industry. And this was because the vast equipment of packing plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc., had been gradually developed to its present state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour it became a mighty international system for war service. And how had this development taken place? Not by making vast inroads into the capi­ tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion of the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift 4 Company's profit, have always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practic­ ally no eSect on the price of meat (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound).

WHY HATCH EARLY. - Chickens hatched early In the spring are large in the summer, ma­ nure early in the fall, and lay eggs in the winter. They will sit early the following spring, produce earlier chickens—and the process will be re­ peated. Hy the offspring. But the chickens hatched late in the spring will not mature until late in the (all—so late that they will not lay in the winter. They win not sit until late in the following spring — and again the process will be repeated. The jury finds that the argument Is all in favor for early hatching—espe­ cially this year._, , Early Hatched Chickens Stronger. The early hatched chicken is not only the chicken that lays the winter egg, but is the chicken best able to withstand disease and parasites. It is fa the midsummer months that chickens are hurt most by lice. .The late hatched chicken has not had time to become large or strong enough to resist lice attacks, but the early hatched chicken by midsummer has oecome strong and hardy enough to do so. And because the early develop­ ment of the egriyhgtched bird preceded the extremely hot months, it is more apt to live through the sum­ mer. .

If milk is cold when separated there is too much loss of fat If the milk becomes cold it may be warmed by placing the can of milk to hot water. It Is preferable, however, to separate the milk Roon qfter It is drawn and before It becomes cold. . ' The separator should be kept clean if the highest efficiency of the ma­ chine and tbe best product Is to be obtained. At the end of each separa­ tion flush out the bowl by pouring into the supply can about two quarts of luke-warm water. The parts may then be washed with warm water and then rinsed in scalding water, after which they should be allowed to dry. SILO SOLVES FEED PROBLEM Dairy Cattle Can Bo Kept In Condition of Health Common to Animals on Good Pasture. . (Prepared by the United States Deport­ ment of Agriculture.), With silage in the ration, dairy cat­ tle can be kept to the condition of health common to animals on pasture. The digestive system of a cow is well suited for the utilization of large quan­ tities of green grasses and other coarse succulent material. Silage is palata­ ble, and no other feed will combine so well with dry hay and a little grain to produce maximum, economical resulta. The preservation of the mature corn crop or the saving of one which for any reason must be harvested before maturity by placing it in silos Is de­ servedly increasing In popularity. About 40 per cent of the total food material in the corn plant is in the stalks and leaves. When only the ears are har­ vested nearly one-half of the crop is lost; on the other hand when the crop be answered. Were the drainage tmprovemeuts In the flint plaoo properly daaigned aad constructed? If thb an­ swer to this question la affirmative, orally? Have the outlets to the tile drains been allowed to close during th® winter? Have the Inlets and catch basins been permitted to be­ come choked with leaves and other dry vegetable matter of the 'previous not the failure of the system to give th® desired results lie with the farmer rather than the system ? In the spring, when the root system of the young plant is developing, it is essential that tbe level of the ground water be maintained at such a depth as always to permit free growth ot the roots downward as well as laterally. The control of the water level Is the purpose of any drainage Improvement. The largest returns on money invest­ ed in such Improvements can be ob­ tained only when they accomplish their real purpose, and this purpose can be accomplished only by keeping the drains In the best possible state of efficiency. To obtain the greatest degree of ef­ ficiency In drainage Improvements, as in any other work, frequent inspection is necessary. Brush and weqds should be cut from the banks of the open ditches and the latter cleaned out to the proper depth. Openings should be made Into the ditches where neces­ sary to penult the surface water In the fields to flow off rapidly. In tile systems, if the outlet has not been protected by a headwall, one should be constructed, for unprotected outlets are often damaged by stock and the action of surface water. If a tile drain empties into an open ditch or swale, steps should be taken to see that sufficient tall exists In the ditch to remove the water as fast as it fe discharged from tbo tile; otherwise the water will back up Into the tile and the efficiency of the drain will bo Impaired. Where turface inlets and sand traps have been Installed in a fils system these should be examined, and cleaned if necessary.

We inquired and found that two neighbor* had made it a practice to alternate in *o a piece of road muddy, slippery and full of chuck holes that seat us up a mile for every mile covered. The only difference between there two pieces of road was a road'drag and an hour's time spent when field work could not be done. We estimate that it took twice as much gasoline to cover the undragged* road. Multiply our experience by* the doxens of teams and autos going over this muddy road, and then compute the expense of fail­ ure to use the road drag that was doubtless rotting away In some fence corner. Ws do not now have In mind the de­ mands of the good roads extremist, but are considering what may be done and what should be done with the common dirt road. It does more harm than good, as a general rule, to plow up the sod on the sides of the traveled track and pile it up in big lumps in the cen­ ter of the track, leaving them there to be broken up by passing vehicles, and the loosened dirt washed away by the rain or bioWn away by the wind.

Most Rapid aa Well aa Economical Gains Made by Allowing Anlmala to Help Themaelvea. The quickest, easiest, and. most eco­ nomical method of fattening pigs, with the least expefidlture of grain and la­ bor, Is through the use of self-feeders. A self-feeder consists l of a hopper large enough to bold a supply of feed sufficient to last several days and a trough below it Into which the grain (lows ns the pigs eat IL Hogs do not overeat, as might naturally be sup­ posed, when they have free access to these feeders, but a number of tests conducted by the United States De­ partment of Agriculture and various State experiment stations show that with the ingredients of a good ration constantly before them they will make gains more rapidly and economically than when fed by hand. Results of ex­ periments setting forth these facts, to­ gether with plans for constructing self-feeders, have been published in Fanners' Bulletin 9M,^'Tbe Self-Feed­ er for Hogs.” The marked success of the self­ feeding system is^largely due to the fact that the hogs may eat an ahund•J3ce of those feeds which will nourish theruXo the best advantage. By this plan the average farmer will have as good results as the most, expert hand feeder, and the results will be obtain­ ed at much less expense of time and labor. All the tests referred to show that the increased feed consumption and the more sapid dally gains are not made at the expense of efficient use of feed. The seM-feedcr may be adapted to the use of any kind of grain or feed, although shelled corn and ground feeds are most commonly used. Ear corn may be fed by this method. If the hopper is of sufficient size to hold enough ffied for several days without refilling. In order that the self-feeder may readily be adapted to different kinds of grain, it should be constructed_vflth sage jneans of regulating the opening through whlch-rthe feed pass­ es. Care should bo taken to see that the selfcfeedera arc always supplied with 8ach feed, for if one part of the ration is missing the pigs will natural­ ly eat an Increased amount of any oth­ er available and In such case wCl make very poor use of it The grain feeds may ta-mixed or placed in dif­ ferent compartments aad fed sepa­ rately. The latter plan is more suc­ cessful, for the pigs have been found to be able to balance their own ra­ tions as their appetites demand. Some food may become dangerous even before it shows outward signs of decomposition. Always keep food in clean utensils and use it without unoeceestiry delay.

It merely decays and makes ready for a splendid hole to form. Whatever Is worth doing at all is wortty doing well. No par* of a re­ paired highway should be left until its surface has been thoroughly and even­ ly compacted and shaped to let all the water run off. And when, as will most always happen, ruts and depressions make their appearance, they should be smoothed down, filled, and well com­ pacted so that water may Mot remain in them to soften the ground and per­ mit further damage by the traffic. When using the road drag, use it properly at the right time. Don’t go out when the road is too wet or too dry. Take it when the mud will make a good mortar and will puddle down like the little glrl’a mud cakes or tbe mason's mortar. MACADAM ROAD PROVED BEST There Are Several Varieties, Changed to Suit Localities and Circum­ stance* Everywhere. For over a century now the macadam road has been in use and has proved itself to be the best all-round road that can be built In fact so good is it that all military roads In the war area in France are of this type. There ore several varieties of it changed to suit localities and circumstances. The regu­ lar water-bound macadam is, with­ out doubt the best and safest for horses.

The day before Christmas Ruth sat In her little shop finishing the last wreath she would mnke that season. ” “There I" she said, deftly twisting a sprig of bright red berries among the evergreen stems, “that finishes Helen Stanwood’s order, and thank goodness It’s done In time.

Why, there has not been anyone here over the holi­ days since I can remember, and I have not been to a Christmas party. In years —not since the time I went over to Dolly Blair’s with Dane.” A warm color suddenly glowed tn the girl's cheeks aud there was a soft light In her brown eyes as she thought of that memorable nU’ht.

The evergreen girl had been sur­ prised ‘and a little bit hurt because Dane had not even called. She had thought It strange, too, at first, that she did not receive an invitation to the party, for she knew nearly every­ one In Brlerly was going. But when Ruth was told the party was to be given In honor of Stanwood's fiancee, she understood why she had not been Invited. “That Is why Helen Stanwood didn’t mention the party when she ordered these wreaths," Ruth thought, as she began tying them together. “Of course. I would not go anyway now. My. but they will have to hurry if they hang all these wreaths before eight o’clock." The evergreen girl was so busy get­ ting the Stanwood order ready that she did not notice that tbe blue roadster had returned and stopped by the gate. Neither did she observe the brondshoulden-d young man who was striding up the path. The bell Jingled merrily. 'There’s Helen now, after the wreaths,” Ru;h thought, and she ran to the door. Dane was standing In the •Back with you 1” echoed Ruth. “Really. I—I can't go. There much to do here, and—” “Bosh!” laughed Dane. “Of course you will go back with me. Fact Is you’ll have to." He waved ids hand as Ruth started to speak. "No ex­ cuses now, for I won’t listen to ’em. You see," Stanwood went on, “Sis and her friend were supposed to help get things ready for the party tonight, but she telephoned just as I was leav­ ing the house that tbe train on which her friend was to arrive Is very late. She may not get back until nine o'clock, and tbe party begins at eight. I told Sis I could never get things ready in time, for tbe decorating Isn’t half done. Then she happened to think of you, and I said right off that yon would be just tiie one to help us out You’re not going t» disappoint us, are you?" very anxiously. "We-ll. perhaps I can go for a little while," said Ruth. Td dearly love to trim that Christmas tree." “Of course, I won’ stay to the party," she thought as she scurried upstairs after a wrap, “so I won’t see Dane’s sweetheart, for of course she is the one Helen Is to meet at the train. And I really ought to help Dane and his sister out, for they have been suet good customers." Dane ushered Ruth into the big double parlors of his new home, where the Christmas tree had been placed. “Do you Ruppos;." he asked, point­ ing to a great pile of evergreen at one end of the room, “we will be able to hang all these wreaths and then deco­ rate the tree before eight o’clock F The evergreen girl gave a merry lit­ tle laugh. by working from dawn till dark. Thia Is the first enjoyable Christmas eve I have known 'since I left Brlerly." “It has been a very pleasant eve­ ning for me. too," said Ruth, “and I have enjoyed It ever so much. Now well trim the Christmas tree, and then you can take me home and get back in time for the party." At half-past seven Dane surveyed the big double parlors with satisfaction. With the help of the evergreen girl he had finished the decorations and every­ thing was in readiness for the guests. "The rooms look just as they did four years ago at Dolly Blair’s Christ­ mas tree—even the mistletoe bough.” said Dane. “Don't you remember bow that one hung right over our heads, an this one does now?" The evergreen girl was silent “Had you forgotten, Ruth?” he per­ sisted. “No," softly, “I had ndt forgotten.” “You never thought I had forgotten* did you, dear?” “But you never wrote, Dane." “Because for a long time I was mile* from a railroad or post office and could not send any mail. But I’ve thought of that night, though, and all these years I've been planning to have a Christmas party as much like that one as I could, only this one tonight will be 'for you." "But isn't the friend who is coming with Helen your fiancee?” faltered Ruth. “Not exactly," laughed Dane. “That friend is Harry North, Helen’s fiance. Tbe girl I expect to marry is here* now, and. by Jove I I’ve caught her again .standing under the mistletoes bough.” she answered. **I am used to this work, you know, and with your help It won't take long." “How long have you been the ever­ green girlT" Dane asked, as he and Ruth were trimming a chandelier. “Thlw is my third season,” Ruth re­ plied- “I found that there was a big demand for wreaths and laurel trim­ ming during the Christmas holidays.

It suddenly occurred to Tom that there had been an unac­ customed tone, even a note of bitter­ ness, underlying the sinlle and lightly spoken words of his oldest and best friend, whom he felt be knew as he did himself. At the thought he looked sharply and piercingly at him, but the strong, resolute profile bore no trace of tbe cynicism of the last hour, much less evidence of Its cause. It was just imagination, Tom con­ cluded. As they stood waiting for a cross­ town car an observant and clever beg­ gar approached. Tom answered the appeal with a coin. “Not from me." said John, in a dis­ approving tone. “Oh, well, it’s Christmas time.’’ said Tom. “Yes, that’s Just It, and he knows It and makes capital of it.

The quickest way to relieve the pain—to "take out the fire" as the old saying has it—is to bathe a burn with a saturated solution of'20 Mule Team Powdered Boric, using one ounce of Borio to a quart of water. This will relieve the inflammation. If the burn is deep, apply with absorb­ ent gauze a lotion made of 8 os. lime water, 8 oz. raw linseed oil and 75 grains of thymoL This lotion is cooling and healing and tends to pre­ vent the puckering and drawing of the injured skin into the scar.

McAdoo, then Secretary of the Treasury, and which, it is hoped, will accomplish its -pur­ pose through dissemination by the press. . The full text of the message fol­ lows: “Hold your Liberty bonds—first, because they are the best investment in the world, backed by every re­ ! source In the United States, and also because you have made sacrifices in order to buy them. Why turn over .to someone else the contract you have entered into with the Government? "Hold them because, even though .the war may be over, it has not yetbeen paid for. The Treasury De­ partment must soon issue more bonds, the' Fifth loan being planned for next April. Every sale now made by you makes future Government issues more difficult and more expen­ sive. This expense must be borne by the people of the United States— therefore, why add to the already large burden being borne by the tax­ payers of the country? "Hold them because the time may come when such an investment may prove to he a true friend in time of need—a guarantee against the fear of debt and insurance, against real hardship. "Hold them because the need for saving is not over. Government ex­ penses are today larger than at any time during the war. Our brave boys in Germany and France and Russia must be paid and fed and clothed and, when their work is over, transported home—back onto American soil. They have not quit. Why should you? "Hold your Liberty bonds instead ot exchanging them for some other so-called security, because you know the security of your United States bond and often cannot know the worth of what is offered in exchange. The ’get-rich-quick* crook is ready to steal your bonds away from you at the first opportunity. Don’t let him. Don’t be swindled out of your bonds. "Hold them because of the inter­ est they pay. because it is good busi­ ness' to do so. What good will the idle pleasure or needless luxury bought today with the proceeds of your bonds be to you a year from now? Your bonds work for you. drawing interest day and night, weekdays and Sundays. "By all means hold your bonds. Don’t be a quitter. Be a patriot. William G. McAdoo. "Secretary of the Treasury.” AMERICAN EFFICIENCY. General Pershing’s recent war re­ port gives us a history of the work which the American army has done In France. The report Is a concise and soldierly document, evidently without trace of exaggeration. But reading between the lines we see the high courage of our American boys clearly revealed. The general clos­ ed with a wonderful tribute to the patience and heroism of his officers and soldiers. The work which the Americans have.done in the war Is far more than ^military experts foresaw as possible in so short a space of time. It was not to be expected that a body of young men drawn from peace­ ful civilian life and with a training brief though ..intensified, should be able to prevail wherever they were used against Germany's seasoned troops. Their success can only be attribut­ ed to the national American charac­ ter. The American is resourceful. He has initiative and is full of latent possibilities. As Kipling says, he —"turns a keen, untroubled face Home to the instant need of things.” If he undertakes a new job he use* his mind upon it, applies ibe princi­ ples of his last work, so far as they are applicable, figures it out and be­ comes master of IL Great efficiency doubtless arises from the drilling of men to some one set task. But it Is not the efficiency of the American, which comes from his innate adaptability and the use of his reasoning powers. Our young Americans took hold of war as they would of any other new work. Inspired by glowing patrio­ tism, they attacked its difficulties and mastered them. They brought, to war the American idea that “the Job had to be done and it was up to them to do ft.” The page of history for 1918 will ■how how our boys carried out their Idea. General Pershing’s words are none too strong: "Their deeds are immortal and they have earned the eternal gratitude of their country." THE FARM TRACTOR. Do you know what the farm trac­ tor has done for us during the last year? 35,0.00 farm tractors, now used in America, have enabled the farmer to produce magnificent crops in the face of an unprecedented short­ age of labor and a shortage of horse­ power. These tractors are replacing 1,500,000 horses and mules, and 250,000 men who are now in the army. They prepare the ground for our food crops and later cultivate and harvest them. They Increase the efficiency of our farm machinery. The man who ha* driven one old Dobbin or two old Dobbins labor­ iously up and down the furrows is in a position to realize the virtues of the farm tractor. ■r —-r But ite .pirn •of Christmas has been at work all through the nation for months, and the amount of gen­ erous giving has never been exceed­ ed and is an example to the world of what applied Christianity means.

"Be ye followers of God," cried the apostle, and then he emphasized that command by laying service for his foilowout bis life era. May all df us 'njoy a Happy Christmas. Your pastor, John G. C. Irvine, OBITUARY. James Graham, oldest son of the late Richard, and Mrs. Cora Brown Graham, was born near Nash­ ville and has always lived in this vi­ cinity. He was taken seriously, ill with influenza less than a week be­ fore his death, and was so very ill that not mhch hopes were entertain­ ed for his recovery, although every­ thing was done that could be done for him. Mrs. Graham, mother of the deceased, was ill at the time with in­ fluenza, and the neighbors were all glad when Mrs. Weaks came to care for the sick ones. James died at about one o’clock Monday morning and was buried at three In the after­ noon of the same day, and because Mrs. Graham’s pastor. Rev. Charles IQanks, was ill of influenza and the other pastors were under quarantine. Rev. William Joppie, a brother-in­ law of Mr. Graham, conducted a short service at the grave, rather than lay him away without a burial service. . Mr. Graham was never married, al­ ways living at home with his parents and would have been thirty-seven years of age Thursday, if he had lived until that day.

One special class of our citizens has done patriotic duty of the high­ est Importance. They have not had much publicity nor have they recetyed very much praise. We under­ stand that they are now to be dis­ banded in their official capacity, and we feel that a word of appreciation is due them. We refer to our ex­ emption boards. Their service has been a difficult one, calling for quick discrimination and excellent judgment. Many of the men appointed have carried out the work at the sacrifice of their own private interests. They have had to deal with men of ever}' kind, rich and poor—the patriot, the slacker,. the conscientious objector. Yet how little criticism of them there has been—how few accusa­ tions of unfairness! The overwhelm­ ing majority of these men have per­ formed their duty with strict honesty, great fairness and infinite patience and kindness. Many young men are grateful to the members of their ex­ emption board for fatherly interest and kind advice. The Influence of the boards has been strongly for good. owes a debt of gratltude to t real and unostentatious patriots. Kill Germs and Save Human Life The menace of militarism, the horrors of war and the toll of death taken in al! frightful accidents is as nothing compared to the danger of unseen deadly germs. Eyen in war itself the toll of human life taken out­ right by the whizzing bullet, the bursting shrapnel, or the piercing steel is less than that caused by the unseen deadly germs that attack the wounded and the well alike. Human life will be lengthened and human happiness increased when we learn better to guard ourselves a Powdered boric is one of Nature’s most wonderful gifts to man, for it enables us, through antisepsis, to ward off the danger of infection. . care of the person wherever aud whenever exposed to the germs of disease.

His eyes sparkled ss he lifted various pack­ ages from a box that had just arrived by ex­ press. Amid his chuckling and gloat­ ing smiles there came a check. “What you got there. Ted?” sounded a sudden voice, and Ted turned to be' confronted by his “boss.” “If you please, sir." he stammered, “it’s my regular Christmas box from the folks home on the farm.” “Let's see what you’ve got, Ted," suggested John Willis, and he fished out a cake of maple sugar, bit off fragment and smacked his lips. “Genuine stuff, eh?" he laughed Jovially. x “You’re a lucky lad, Ted," spoke Mr. WUIla. hls voice a trifle husky. Then he went into his private office and for ten minutes sat Idly In his swivel chair, a dreamy, far away expression upon his face. “I can taste that maple sugar yet I" he sighed finally. “Let me see. it's two years since I’ve • yIMted the old home town. I'm ashamed of it, for we've run down to Nellie’s folks only twice since we were married. Maybe she’s longing for a sight of the coun­ try, too. Hello!" He had picked up his mail and be­ gan to rifle the alltted envelopes. The first lines of the letter be opened read: “My dear daughter Nellie: We are ao hopeful that you fnay give us a Christmas visit this year, and you and Mr. Willis would be so welcome!" “Why. thia won't do!" ejaculated John Willis, replacing the letter that had been carelessly opened by the of­ fice mall clerk. “Dear old people—and Nellie!" His heart suddenly smote him. Nel­ lie never murmured at the exactions of business. Faithfully she accom­ panied him trt social functions, and all the time a conception of tbefr hollow superficiality had ended tn a dream ofi the dear old life, where true heart? and quiet, humble pleasures seemed tc beckon longingly. “Pm going to take a ran down to the country to look after my old home," John - Willis told Nellie that evening. “The tenant has left and 1 want to see what can be done with It.' He returned two days later. “Saw your folks, dear." he said, and Nellle’j famished soul greeted the tender wore like a cooling draught to a thirsting spirit “Look here. Tuesday Is Christ mas ere.

Yes, dear, and stay there with you over the holidays. I say,' bracing and thrilling as they started down a clear smooth road full speed, “this Is like the old times, when I used to steal a kiss from you, and— I’ll take one now!" She was crying for Joy. Her trem­ bling hand stole to his arm and lightly rested there. Her heart was singing amid a newly awakened happiness. ."The river, hill and old bridge!" shouted John an hour later, alive with enthusiasm. “Bonfire on the skating patch and—whoa!

Men and Women. Boys and Girls. Little Chil­ dren, the Baby —all should join. You can take out memberships for your family or friends. An employer can take out memberships for his employees. We will welcome everyone. It isn't the money you make that counts, but what you SAVE. If one man makes $10,000 a year and spends it all. he hasn't got as much as the man who only makes $5,000 a year and saves and banks $1,000. z^/ Nor is it the big things you buy that takes your money; it is the small amdunts that you let slip thru your fingers that eat up your earnings. Why not plug up those leaks and join our Christmas Banking Club? You'll be lots happier in watching your bal­ ance grow and your money will be safe from fire, burglars, or your own temptations to spend it. will start you in our „ Christmas Banking Club Come in, let us show you how in 50 weeks you will have The Reasons for the Club To provide a way for those of moderate and even small means to bank their money. To teach the “saving habit” to those who have never learned it. To give young folks a practical education about money—by showing them that if they give up the little things they want today, they can get the big things latei. To give all a Bank connection and show you how our Bank can be of service to them. HOW YOU CAN GET $63.75 FOR OLD AND YOUNG The way to have $63.75 in fifty weeks is to join our 5c Club and deposit only a nickel the first week; the second week you deposit 10c; the third week you deposit 15c. Then you increase your de­ posit Sc each week for fifty weeks. Or, you can make the largest payment the first week and decrease 5c every week. . / The sensible thing for all parents to do is to join our Christmas Banting Club and also put every member of the family into it. This will teach them, the value of money and how to bank and HAVE MONEY. Maybe this little start you give them may some day set them up in business or buy them a home. How often have you wished that your parents had taught you early the value of banking your money. You would be well-off today. Don’t make the same mistake with YOUR children. HOW YOU CAN GET $127.50. The way to have.$137,50 in fifty weeks is to join our 10c Club and deposit only a dime the first week; the second week you deposit 20c; the third week you deposit 30c. Then you increase your de­ posit 10c each week for 50 weeks. Or, you can make the largest payment the first week and decrease 10c each week.

I have bad a little bad luck with my Anger; it doesn't get along well, but it Is some better now. 1 went before the board the other day and they put me in D class. That is as low as I can get, but if I don’t have to have an opera­ tion on my finger, think I will be all right soon. 1 hope so as 1 want to get loose as soon as I can. 1 am in a rather portr part of France—about tbe center. We have a few small (owns near here, but there are so many of us to visit them that we can’t get much* of anything and what we do we have-to pay three prices for. I have seen a lot of France, but most of it has been a bat­ tlefield. in fact all I have done since coming here is hit one front and then another. If they take me straight to the U. 8.

If 1 had been allowed to write just what I wanted to all the time I could have written you a lot that would have interested you, but now it is old and forgotten. 1 will be able to tell you some when I get back. 1 can't tell yqu how anxious I am to get back and see you folks again. It seems as if it had been three years since I saw you last, but don’t think that I have forgotten you or the old home.

We haven't much to do now after we get our hallway and wards cleaned up so the sergeant said two of us might go over to the morning service. Mr. Lane of Virginia gave the morning address. His topic was "Whose son art thou?’’ and it was a splendid talk. Here’s one of his thoughts; he said, "We are over here for a won­ derful cause, and that if we were do­ ing our best and-doing as we knew God wanted us to do, we didn’t have to come back. He had brought ub here and given us the work to do, and He would take us back if He saw fit." Mr. Lane is certainly a fine man. He is the on? who conducts the Bible class on Friday evening and he gives some fine talks there. In the afternoon another boy and I hired some bicycles and had a pleas­ ant ride out into the country. We went out into the country a distance of about 7 kilometers on one of the main roads, then we took a side road which }ed down a hill about a half mile., it seemed. We had a fine coast to the bottom of the hill, and there we found a fine French cbauteau built along this road. It had lovely grounds and was walled in and shut off by a huge iron gate. The gate was open- so we strolled in. There was a sign up at the gate which I have a suspicion meant "No trespas­ sing", but as we couldn’t read French, we had a good excuse, so we explored the grounds. A dog barked rather savagely at us. but a lady yelled at him to keep still, so be didn’t bother us. Tbe house was a huge affair, larg­ er than th? court house at Hastings.

Just after Mr. Schurman entered the house, a guard arrived and asked Mr. Irvine if that was the, doctor who went into the bouse. On being Informed that it was a preach­ er and not a physician, the guard in­ formed Mr. Irvine that Mr. Schur­ man would not be allowed to leave the house under ten days, as the quarantine was very rigid. However, tbe p]ea that Mr. Schuman's own folks at homo were ill with the "flu" and needed his attention, proved ef­ fective and he was allowed to return home.

Now Ed. Woodard nappens to have two barns, and Charlie went to the wrong barn, found a bay horse and put a barneM on him.

In a city of Poland, It appear*, two men came Into court with a suit over the ownership of an umbrella which had been left in a restaurant Each one introduced evidence to prove that the umbrella was bis. Being unable to match the wisdom of Holomon by dividing»the umbrella between them, the judge postponed the case. Pend­ ing its decision the umbrella was left lu the judge's private room. Later, as he left tbe court to go home, the Judge found that the weath­ er was rainy. He went back to his room, took the umbrella which waa in litigation and spread it over hia bead lu the street. On bls way home he went into a restaurant and left tbe umbrella on tbe rack, nnd when be was ready to leave tbe place be found that it had been taken away by some unknown customer. Then be bought another umbrella and took it to his courtroom. When the case came up the litigants were confronted with it, and neither was able to identify it as his own The court thereupon fined them both for Invoking tbe law on a frivolous pretext and' they departed empty handed ami decidedly “nonsuited.” THE IDEAL CITY. A Vision ol What May Perhaps Come to »aea In the Future. By courteay of Clara Brigge, New York Tribune RED CROSS TO AID STRICKEN WORLD PUDIIC IS Asked to Enroll in Work Made Necessary by Peace. TO CONTINUE TlKtAW BY Answer to Christmas Ron Call! All That Anybody Neds to Join Up Now Is a Heart and a Dollar. The Christmas roll call of the Amer­ ican Red Cr<>s> has a message to car­ ry to all the peoj>le. And the re­ sponse to tills message should bg, uni­ versal ; It should come from every man, woman and child in the country. AU tliat Is needed lu n heart and a dollar. The war has left a world filled with ruin. Peace must restore, rebuild, re­ construct, recreate what war has de­ stroyed. More than that, for hundreds of millions of human beings, rescued from social sfavery and piUtlcal bond­ age, there must be reVealed uew ideals, efficient methods, sufficient or­ ganization. As the army nnd navy were the will of the nation mobilized for victory In war, so is the Red Cross the soul of the nation mobilized for service. in peace. Even after tbe formal terms of pence are signed,it will take months, even years, for our present work to be com­ pleted. The solier task of withdrawal cannot keep puce with the tense strain of the accomplishment when first we rushed our mighty army across the water to save the liberty of the world. We have two and a quarter million* of men overseas, flung there with un­ dreamed of speed. It will take three times as long to bring them back. So long as one regiment remains, the Red Gross, as always. WILL STAND BY. AU over our land there are soldiers’ homes tn need of Information, of coun­ sel. of sympathy nnd comfort Until the boys come home, until al! these families are reunited/ tin- Red Cross aa usual, WILL STAND BY. On 'a hundred hurd-fought fleldr there are heroes’ graves to be Identi­ fied, marked and honored—and here at home are thousands of hearts to be comforted by the knowledge of where their loved ones are sleeping Bo long a* sorrow comes Into these home*, the Red Cross, as, ever, WILL STAND BY. But now the-world Is calling u* tn an even, greater task. Belgium, northern France. Serbia. l nonmnmn. .•nonrrmcgro.'^^XrrnenftL j Syria, and Palestine have been laid waste—ravished, robbed, depopulated. The flaming tempest of war has left them in ruins. The natural resources have been exhausted and destroyed. ' Cities, villages and homes are rubbish । heaps. The very noil has been torn , sterility. The machinery of life has been shattered and disorganized. I The people themselves hav^ been herd­ , ed like cattle and driven into servitude ‘ or exile? | In Russia conditions are beyond de­ ! ncrlption. To war nnd Its ravages | have been added the terrors of revolutlon, anarchy nnd brlgnndry. The I country is n wallow of dishonesty and licensed brutality. In spite of any­ thing nnd-everything the allied nations can do in the way of relief, millions of human being* will stmrve to death In* Russia the coming winter. j Conditions are almost as bad In Ar­ menia, Syria ami Serbia. To tiie need -of the peoples and na­ tions rescued from military bondage by the allied victory must now be add­ ed the need of the people of the cen­ tral empires. Impoverished by the ter­ rible demands of war. “Woe to the conquered!” Yes; but the very spirit thnt sent America Into the war forbids that we disregard the suffering and .dire dis­ tress of a vonquereil enemy. We have suffered yet but little, while the rest of the world lias hungered and thirsted, has bled and died. Shall we not go on to the full meas­ ure of our great strength—shall we not meet the full demand of our moral obligation? So only can we meet the full measure of our Ideal. So only can tbe world, groping for a symbol, real­ ize the true meaning of democracy. Here then are the things the Red Cross must do: L While our men are in service overseas it must stand tn instant readiness, as the emergency reserve of the army and navy. II. As our men come home, it must be ready to cooperate In every way In ministering to their necessity and comfort HL Both overseas and at home it must be ready for hospital service to tbe wounded and convalescent and “ust carry on It* reconstruction work among the permanently crippled and »i- — «—>-<« — <>» maimed. • IV. It must face the ever widening ministry to the families and friends of our soldier* and sailors, providing them with counsel, encouragement, protection and If need be, with mate­ rial aid. V. It must stand ever equipped for the sudden emergencies of pestilence, disaster, storm and calamity—and be ready as always for Instant and effi­ cient relief. VI. It must carry on with Increas­ ing vigor and scientific determination its tight against ever-present scourge of tuberculosis. VII. Above all. It must face the fact that America is the. one of all the great-nations of the earth that Is prac­ tically untouched nnd unexhausted by the ravages nt war.* That with the ■ end of the fighting there remains^ie vastest probleiy the world has ever faced—that of carrying humanity through the coming winter and spring and bringing it up to. the relief of the harvests of 1019. There Is not enmigb £pod In the world now to provide for normal consumption. With the best that can be accomplished by wuy^ of organization nnd administration, there will be widespread privation and suf­ fering. . .
