There are men in this camp from all parts of the country, and they bring with them jokes from their section of the U. S. A. Most of these tell of the hatred of the races in the south. Although some are very much exaggerated, yet they are worth recording. One boy tells the following story of the rural district of east Mississippi: "One day I was walking down a track, and noticed an old Negro fastened to a plow. I asked him what he was doing there in the rain pulling a plow. He told me that for years he and Beck, his boss' mule, had pulled that plow over that field, but, as it was raining that day, the mule had been left in the stable, and he had to pull the plow alone." He also tells that in certain parts of the south it is against the law for a black mule to kick a white mule. Another man added that in the part of Georgia from which he had come, when a Negro man passed a white mule on the street he had to say, Good morning, Mr. Mule. A boy from Ohio tells this story of his experience in Cordwood, S. C.: "We were in the Barnum & Bailey band wagon. All of us were dressed in red suits trimmed with green, and were in a gilded wagon. Soon a number of pecks congregated around us. One of their number said; "Say, you shines will have to come down out of that gold wagon. We won't ride in them and we are not going to let you shines ride in them. And another thing, you will have to take off them good looking clothes, and take them gold horns out of your mouths. They dressed us in jeans and put us in an old wagon, telling us that we could play, but not those gold horns." One night a Negro boy was walking post when he heard footsteps approaching. "Halt!" he commanded. "Who comes there?" "The officer of the day," a voice answered. "What in the devil are you doing out tonight?" the boy returned. (To be continued.) MACON, MO., NEWS.

This membership drive has been undertaken by these branches as a testimonial to Moorfield Storey of Boston, the association's president, in recognition of his service to the colored people of the nation in the Louisville segregation case.

We therefore feel justified in asking all classes of citizens to join our association for this common principle of justice and civil liberty. The association admits members upon payment of any amount from one dollar per year upwards. "The association feels that the American people have a right to be proud of the one hundred thuoas colored soldiers now serving in the regular army and the national army.

Major General Barry Says Aid Liberty Lean to Avert Indemnity Fund. By MAJ. GEN. THOMAS H. BARRY, [Former Commandant at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill.] Four years ago the German government started a war, which evidence makes certain had for its object the domination of the world, the crushing of democracy and the establishment of autocracy in its stead. Evidence of this far-reaching plot appeared as the war was prosecuted by the Germans with such lawless cruelty, that in an effort to parallel their inhuman savagery a shocked world has revived the mediaeval word "Hun." The government of the United States observed neutrality until their sovereign rights were openly and contemptiously invaded. They were then called upon to decide whether to surrender their rights and their liberty or to engage in war. Rightly they decided to engage in war. That war is now in progress and it will be won by "hitting the Hun." To hit the Hun, soldiers must go to the firing line in Europe, but that costs money, and if we are to "hit the Hun" from the firing line at the front there must be no fattering in the fund line at the rear. To prosecute the war successfully larger sums of money are needed by the government than it ever has needed before. I have read an estimate that it costs a thousand dollars to shoot a Hun. To provide the stupendous total the government asks its citizens for a temporary loan of the cash they have to invest. As security, it gives its promise to repay the full amount with a good rate of interest. The promise to repay the amount borrowed constitutes the Liberty bonds. They are offered in denominations to suit all purses, and whoever subscribes to a Liberty bond is helping to "hit the Hun." A time will come when so many have been hit that just one more will constitute his defeat, the collapse of his government and the triumph of liberty. But the war will not be won until some one has hit this Hun. So I beg every American who has in his heart a love for the liberty he enjoys and cash to invest to purchase Liberty bonds, and I urge every social club or society, every school, factory, department store, boy scout company and other organizations and individuals to form "Hitting the Hun clubs" and purchase Liberty bonds enough to take a shot at a Hun. It will give strength to the firing line to observe strength in the fund line, and some one will have the honor of subscribing the fund that hits the last Hun and the war will be won. If we do not subscribe now to the Liberty bonds, to win the war, we will be compelled to subscribe later to an indemnity fund for losing the war. Put Money Into the Land. Occasionally when driving through the country some attractive farm will be passed. Everything is in good shape; there are windmills, there is a silo; the fences are up and the land in excellent tilth. What is the secret of this? The answer always is: "That farmer has put money in his place." America is a great farming nation, as well as a great manufacturing nation. It is wonderfully prosperous today. There are railways, bridges, factories, mills, workshops and school houses. All this shows we have put money into it. But there is today the shadow of war hanging over the entire land. The nation is in peril. Now is the time of all times when money must be put into this land of the free and the home of the brave if it is to remain prosperous and happy. The purchase of Liberty bonds puts your money where it will do the most good in this grave crisis. When you have bought your bond, don't stop. Become a bond salesman for your government and see to it that your neighbor buys a bond. Explain to him that you and he have to do this, as the soldier at the front has to fight. Russia failed to support its army and its army failed to fight for Russia, and today Germany is taking over thousands of square miles of rich farming and mineral lands, title to which is held by Russians who will have their deeds considered mere scraps of paper by their conquerors. Buy bonds from your government and sell them for it. Make the United States a success instead of a failure, like Russia. Farmer. Hired Man and Liberty Loan. Bonds Are Police Protection. Everyone knows the value of police protection. The purchase of Liberty bonds provides the government with money to build ships to police the high seas and guard American commerce. THE BYSTANDER BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO VERY LIMIT OF RESOURCES Everyone Should Give the Boys "Over There" the Financial Support Needed for Victory. An article recently published in some papers of the central West gave an erroneous impression as to the part the farmer should play in financing the great struggle for liberty and world freedom. It suggested that the farmer should not borrow money with which to buy Liberty bonds—that he should not "inconvenience himself" in lending financial support at this critical time in the history of the nation. This is no time to think of inconvenience at home. If inconvenience is to be the basis of thought, let the American farmer consider first the inconvenience of the boys on the firing line in France. At this particular time it is up to all Americans to make sacrifices. This is no time to think of comfortable financial circumstances and freedom from inconvenience. The government is at a great deal of inconvenience. If the boys at the blazing, thunderous front are standing in muddy trenches dodging shell splinters and Hun bullets and facing the terrible gas attacks, there is no reason why the farmer at home should not extend himself to help out. Don't think of inconvenience. Think of the inconvenience and danger of your son, or your neighbor's son, at the front, and buy Liberty bonds to the limit. Stretch your financial system to the breaking point, if need be, to support your government and the boys who are actually engaged in the business of fighting your fight. If you haven't the money at hand to do your full duty toward the great cause, go out and borrow it from your bank—borrow so that you may buy bonds "until it hurts." Your financial support may be a measure of your practical patriotism—and the nation needs practical patriots at this critical period. Don't think of inconvenience—think only of success. HELPLESS CHINA A LESSON Every Man, Woman and Child Should Contribute to Success of Third Liberty Loan. Within the last few months the terrible bubonic plague has been sweeping over western China. Starting in Mongolia, it crossed the great wall and, with appalling speed, invaded province after province. And China—great, helpless China—is unable to care for its unfortunate people. Missionaries and the Rockefeller institute have been doing much to alleviate suffering, but their efforts have been little enough to stem the tide of the dread disease. China lacks the organization and the initiative to do much more than bow before the inevitable. "There is a lesson for America at this time in the conditions in China," said a United States army medical officer a few days ago. "The United States is at war. Food, guns, clothing are needed for the soldiers, and ships are necessary to carry them to the battlefields in Europe. To conduct this enormous business of war, money is needed—billions in money. If the nation does not show initiative and organization, if every individual and every community are not closely knit to every other individual and every other community and interest by a common impulse, a common purpose to defeat the enemy, America will fail in this war as surely as China has failed in her hopeless battle against the bubonic plague. "Every man, woman and child should contribute to the limit toward the success of the third Liberty loan. There must be no sectional feeling, no racial hatreds, no ancient grudges, no political ambitions, no community interests or individual schemes to stand in the way. If this nation of more than a hundred million souls stands together as one, the government at Washington will be provided with the money with which to finance ourselves and our allies in this war against a selfish and autocratic power that plots our political and commercial ruin as it plotted and accomplished the ruin of Belgium and Serbia and northern France. "A prominent politician once protested against the 'Chinafying of the United States.' Let the United States prove to itself and to the common foe that there is nothing of China's helplessness in us. It can do so by acting with a single purpose in this matter of a world war for democracy." Be a Fighter and Buy Bonds. It is time that we all realize the country is at war. The railroads found themselves relieved of the management of their properties over night. Prices have been set for food and steel and coal. The draft is in full operation. It is no longer a question of patriotism in supporting the government, it is an absolute necessity. If the soldiers refuse to fight, the war is lost. If we at home refuse to buy bonds, the war is lost because the government will be unable to finance the operation. The man who refuses to buy bonds in this great crisis is in a class with the soldier who refuses to fight. Back Uncle Sam With Bonds. Russia's condition today should be a lesson to us in America. Its government was overthrown and the Hun invaders overrun its soil Your government must be supported in the face of the German menace. The purchase of Liberty bonds is the best assurance of support you can give at this time.

Also do not overfeed him, for most of the lessons have to be taught by a system of small rewards in the shape of tit-bits of food. NOTICE OF EXPIRATION OF RIGHT OF REDEMPTION.

He learned of a free book that tells about tobacco quickly, easily, and safely. In a recent letter he writes any more, I feel like a new Leahy was addicted to the excessive use of tobacco for many years. He wanted to quit but needed some help. He learned of a free book that tells about tobacco habit and how to conquer it quickly, easily, and safely. In no manner letter be written: "I have no desire for tobacco any more." I feel like a new man. Anyone desiring a copy of this book on tobacco habit, to Edward J. Woods, WB 318, Station F, New York City. You will be surprised and pleased.

To Make Screws Held. When screws are driven into a plaster wall they may be made firm enough to hold considerable weight if they be withdrawn, wrapped with cotton string and dipped into plaster of paris until sufficient adheres to fill the hole in the wall and to permit some of it to be forced behind the plaster. This latter forms a plug that holds the screw firm. DAVENPORT ITEMS. Since our last writing the death angel has visited many homes here.
