The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. GAVE PENNY UNDUE CREDIT "Superstition is a relic of the dark ages," observed one of the supposedly wise men, "and it has no place on the battle ground of modern thought. "I don't believe in planting potatoes on Good Friday, nor in seeing the moon over my left shoulder. I think that a fisherman is foolish if he spits on his bait, and I don't believe in walking around a stump three times to change my luck. Neither am I afraid of black cats that cross my path. In my opinion all such things in walking around a stump three times with that in idea about hanging a horseshoe out the door. That's an old, played-out scheme, and it never was worth a whop. "There's only one thing in the whole list of luck or unluck omens that works out in every detail, and that's the idea of finding a penny and keeping it for good luck. "About three months ago I picked up an old green penny that was lying in the gutter. I chucked it in the match pocket of my coat, and I have kept it there ever since. "Before I took to carrying the penny I couldn't turn my hand over without losing money, and ever since then I've made money at every round of the road. That's why I know it is luck." "Let me look at your lucky penny?" remarked a bystander. "I'd just like to win." The penny-wise man ran two fingers into his match pocket, and as he did so he exclaimed: "By cryck! Til bet I've lost the blamed knee. In fact, I know I have, I sent this coat to the dry cleaner the day after I found the penny, and I forgot to remove it from the pocket." Moral: Prosperity seems to be, in some measure, psychological. The Good That Comes of It. Do you think that the war is making people less selfish in the world and in the United States? Surely it must, when in so many places people are sacrificing their dear ones and their money for a cause. Even if it seems to some more a question of honor and family or national tradition than justice or freedom. I often think of the rank of German army, and the even junior officers. The latter offering untold hardships and showing magnificent bravery in the face of heavy odds, as much as, perhaps more than, the soldiers of the allies. Although one must be here to realize that men have risen to a height of courage and endurance in this war that people living in modern civilization never dreamed of. Surely some gain must come from this tremendous effort and conquest of self, and Germany must not be entirely a loser, when her sons, even if forced, have paid such a debt—Edwin A. Abbey, II, in the Atlantic Odessa, recently entered by German troops, furnishes the most remarkable instance in Europe of a rapid growth, like that of the mushroom cities of the New World. Founded in 1794 on the site of a small Turkish fortress which had been taken by the Russians a few years previously, it does not possess a single building which by any stretch of imagination could be described as old. The city as well as the port owes its origin to a Frenchman named De Ribas, an officer in the Russian army who had led the attack on the Turkish stronghold. French influence is strong, and there are important commercial French and British colonies, Italians, Greeks, and Anglophones. Armies, Georgians, and other races addition to the Jews and Russians make up the population of this cosmopolitan city. Quitting Work for War. "Selling out; to join the color," has become quite a common sign in business places in many parts of New York. Investigation has shown some of them to be fakes, too. In all parts of England such notices are numerous. Among those of an unusual nature is the following, put up by a monument builder: "Having been called up for military service, Mr. Kennedy is forced to close down his business, the other male members of the family being already in service. He begs to take this opportunity, thanking all patrons he helped in the past, and he hopes that any might have business requiring his attention may be able to hold over the same until his return to business." Mrs. Flatbush—You don't think the war will reach over here this year, do you, dear? Mr. Flatbush—Why, no. Why do you ask that question? "Because I want to know whether to hang the hammock under the trees where it was last year, or in the cellar." Inclination to Experiment. "Why are you in favor of government ownership?" "I'm not exactly clear," replied the candid man. "But I've a vague idea that I'd like to see some lines of business in the hands of elected officers who might try to make a hit by lowering prices instead of raising them." Pork to Win the War. Flatbush—So you're raising pigs? Bensonhurst—Yes, you know the pen is mighter than the sword. "Well, I guess you're right, for food will win the war." VOL. 34. NO. 31 DEATH RATE IN BELGIUM IS HIGH Under German Occupation, II Treatment and Poor Food Kill Thousands. WORSE THAN AN EPIDEMIC Mortality in Civil Life Greater Than on Battlefield—Situation Can Only Be Worse, Says Legation—One Execution Daily. Washington.—The existing death rate in Belgium is as high as at the time of the most terrible epidemics and greater than that on the battle field, due to the extremities to which German occupation has reduced the country. In addition, at least one Belgian daily is executed by the German authorities, according to a statement made public by the Belgian legation. The statement came from Havre and read as follows: "Not taking into account the losses on the field of battle Belgium has suffered heavily in its civilian population through the invasion and occupation of its territory by the Germans. "1. Civilians killed during the invasion, August-September, 1914—Although we are not yet in possession of a complete list of the civilians killed by the Germans during those fatal days, we know the number of victims to be well over 5,000. For the following provinces we have approximate estimates: Namur, about 1,800; Luxembourg about 1,200; Liege, more than 1,000; Brabant, 897; Halain, most of the victims fell in the town of Belfort, under the existence of sharpshooters; German fury knew no limits, Dinant counted 606 victims; Andenne, more than 200; Tamines, more than 400; Louvain, 210; Aerschot, about 150; Namur, about 75. Deportees' Death Rate High. "2. Among the deportees the mortality resulting from privations, ill treatment, underfeeding, etc., exceeds largely the normal percentage of deaths. Some, too, have met death on the battle fields, where the Germans forced them to do auxiliary work. If we possess ample information about individual places and undeniable testimony on the broken health of the returned deportees in general, we are, however, unable to quote figures. "3. The electrified wire which makes the Belgians prisoners in their own country accounts for a great number of victims, especially among young people, who try to escape in order to escape to smuggle goods or try to smuggle news in or out of Belgium. In less than a year, between August, 1916, and July, 1917, 180 persons were electricated. Since then the average number of victims has increased, owing to the strengthening of the guards and the putting up of new wires. "4. The death penalty, pronounced by the German military courts for crimes of patriotism, levies a heavy toll on the population. It is estimated that each day one Belgian at least suffers the supreme penalty. "The unsatisfactory food situation, due to the requisition of the home-grown foodstuffs and the sinking of many relief ships, the use of unsuitable substitutes, the lack of fuel, as a fuel for the plumbing, and for her own consumption, and for export, of the Belgian coal fields, has dangerously increased the death rate. "Deaths from hunger and cold are not unusual, but it is mostly indirectly that the underfeeding of the population causes numerous premature deaths, for, through lack of physical strength, many people are subject to rickets or preteruberculosis, and so become unable to resist slight illness which, under normal conditions, would not prove fatal. As to the bad effect of unsuitable substitutes, it will surface to recall the diseases contracted by the depronees through the use of raw runbegas and the paralysis of the brain and of the marrow or the special kind of jaundice provoked by the use of lupin seeds as a substitute for coffee berries. White Plague Prevalent "The death rate all over Belgium, but especially in the large towns, is as high as at the time of the most terrible epidemics. A Brussels paper, appearing with the consent of the German censorship, admits that "there are more civilian dead from lack of sufficient food than Belgian soldiers fallen on the battlefield." On the other and report the Work of the Worcester in Belgium shows that in 1917 there were fewer orphans of soldiers fallen in the war than of civilians killed during the same period and of deportees dead in consequence of their deportation. "Cardiac affections and cerebral hemorrhages account for the greater part of the deaths, tuberculosis, especially the form of tubercular meningitis, for almost as many. Typhoid fever, caused by the occupying army, has occasionally levied a heavy toll on the civilian population. "The situation in 1918 can only grow worse; it is undeniable that the physical standard of the nation is lowering dangerously and that the effects of the German occupation make the health of the people will make themselves felt for a long time after the war." story Will Please Those Who Have Small Bell Inside Pieces Bring Luck. Defective Page The Good That Comes of It. Cosmopolitan Odeasa Quitting Work for War Cautious Inclination to Experiment Pork to Win the War THE APPEAL Picture Dramas That Have Happy Endings Can Never Attain Popularity in Russia Four and five-act movie dramas of the highly emotional and sentimental kind are popular in Russia. Cowboy activities, murders and burglaries do not appeal to these audiences. Rough comedy is wasted even on the cheapest Russian audience. They do not underline American pictures, as a rule, do not appeal to the Russian taste. They want a drama woven usually around the "eternal triangle," the men must be ardent lovers, and the women weak but A weeping mother or the deathbed of a beloved father is always very impressive. There must be a death in the drama, preferably the suicide of hero or heroine, with the other one going into the cloister at the end. The ideal picture play for Russian popular audiences must not, under any circumstances, have a happy ending. The Russians use a great deal of descriptive and explanatory material on the drama in showing their own dramas. They depended upon it happily for the "action." They do not care nearly as much for action in the pictures as for postures indicating emotions. Anatomy and deathbed scenes should always be photographed to the last detail, but nearly everything else may be written and read. IN DAYS OF PONY EXPRESS Service, of Course, Would Be Laughed at Now, But Was Really Remarkable Then. The pony express, a romantic feature of the West of that day, was part of a mail line from New York to San Francisco. Between St. Joseph, Mo., the western terminus of the railway, and Sacramento, the distance was traversed by horsemen mounted on swift and durable ponies, each of which traveled sixty miles, and then turned over his mail bags to another. The weight carried was not to exceed ten pounds, and the charge was $5 in gold for each quarter, of an ounce. A letter or parcel weighing an ounce, now carried for 8 cents, cost $20 in the days of the pony express. By the aid of the pony carriers the distance between New York and San Francisco was covered in 14 days, a truly reclusive ride, considering the vast distance and the number of the country traversed by the brave riders. The horsemen were in constant danger in many sections of the route from hostel Indiana, but they were well paid, their salary being $1,200 a month. The pony express lasted two years, being abandoned when the telegraph line across the continent was completed. How Do Men Break Down? Be assured that there is no chances of your breaking down—although there will be times when you will try to fool yourself will his idea. This thought of breaking down indeed is one of the illusions of mediocrity. It is the excuse which every lazy man presents to himself. It is moral astigmatism. The great fact is that men do not break down from overwork so much as is commonly supposed. As they go upward in the scale of increased activity, increased responsibility only acts upon them as a natural stimulant and carries them along. If hard work and worry killed men so easily, most of the successful business men of America would be dead already. No! What kills men is due more to what they take into their stomachs rather than what they take into their minds.—Physical Culture. When Sick. Go to a "Vet." "Some of the best medicines for people are dog medicines," said a physician. "You see, all sorts of remedies are prescribed for human complaints, and sometimes they are beneficial. Many people have faith in patent medicines, which may be more or less justified. "But a dog medicine is very sure to be a good thing. It wouldn't sell if it wasn't. And what is good for a dog is likely to be good for a human being—supposing that he really knows what is the matter with him. "A doctor who started in business with no other equipment than a dozen prescriptions representing first-class dog medicines (supposing him to be a fair diagnostician) ought to make a fair professional success." Famous Military Commandera Napolon regarded Wellington as able, but lucky. He considered Tilly and Wallenstein far better generals than Gustaf Adolf. Turenne he placed far in advance of Frederick the Great. "If I had a man like Turenne as my second in command during my campaigns," he said, "I should now be master of the world." Hannibal, according to Plutarch, sometimes ranked Alexander, sometimes Pyrrhus as the foremost general of all time. Scipio he placed second. Himself he ranked but third or fourth. Posterity has modified his verdict to the advantage of his fame. He Had Changed. Mother—Why didn't you speak to that little boy who just passed? Tommie-I don't know him, mama. "Yes, you do know him. He's the little boy who just moved in next door to you, you were playing with him yesterday." "Well, mama, if that's the same boy, he's over-washed today." FOOD CONTROL MEANS VICTORY FOOD CONTROL MEANS VICTORY European Shortage Places Problem Before American Government—Farsighted Policy Adopted. NEED 75,000,000 BU. WHEAT. Food Administration Asks Aid of Every American Gigantic Task of Feeding Mililona. It is the food problem over there that makes a food problem over here. If we wished to be supremely selfish and supremely shortsighted—we could go on eating as much as we like and whatever we like, without much difficulty or interruption—at least, until the Germans came! We are not doing things in that selfish and sulcidal way. We are trying to have the great common pool of all of our food, the food of the allies, and all of the food we can get from South America and other neutrals, and dividing it up fairly among America, England, France, Belgium and Italy. This does not mean that all of the people in the great pool are going to have the same ration, but means that we are trying to arrange to have enough for everybody, so that the soldiers—our soldiers and their soldiers—will be well fed, as they have to be to fight hard and continuously, and that the munitions workers and the workers in all the other necessary industries, and the men and women at all have enough to keep alive and well. It is absolutely necessary to do this if the war is to be and we are going to do it, but it means planning, working, arranging, co-operating, being careful, not wasting, saving. And it means that each and every one of us has got to help. Now, we have enough and more than enough food for ourselves, and the Government is going to see to it that we keep here at home a sufficient supply of every essential kind of food to support our people. But over there they simply have not enough. Lord Rhonda, the English food controller, told them American food administrator, that unless the allies before the next "upranean harvest 75,000,000 bushels of wheat in addition to what had been sent up to January 1 of this year he could not assure the people of the allies that they would have a sufficient supply of food to carry on the war. He did not say anything in this cable about the other food necessary, but he has told of these needs in other cables—and by his actions in England. For example, his latest regulation compels a reduction of meat eating in England to a maximum of one pound per person, a pound including the bone and other waste parts in the meat as bought in the shop. The allies must have more wheat, more meat, more fats, more dairy products, more sugar. Their harvests were very short—France had less than half her normal crop of wheat—and the available shipping is small in amount and constantly being lessened by submarines, so that it is now practically impossible to use any ships for the long voyage necessary to bring food from Australia and other remote markets. It is also chiefly from America. In specific circumstances, necessary for us to send to the allies 1,100,000 tons of foodstuffs a month. This is a great responsibility and a great problem. The food must be found, and also the ships to carry it. It is being done, but can only continue to be done by the help and full cooperation of all of us over our broad land. We must produce and save more. To supply the wheat necessary until the next harvest, we must reduce our consumption by from one-fourth to one-third; we must cut down our usual average consumption of meats and fats by from 10 to 15 per cent, and dairy products by about 10 per cent. Over there they are tightening their belts and doing everything they can. They are eating war bread; they are cutting down their sugar in England to two pounds per person per month, in France and Italy to one pound—how much are you eating—and they are using ration cards for most of the staples. We must meet sacrifice with sacrifice. If we don't, we are helping to lose the war instead of helping to win it. A girl and a man are sharing a bowl of cookies. HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS laskan Natives Probably as Superfell- tious on the Face of the Earth. In Alaska the natives have all kinds of superstitious beliefs. They believe that everything has a spirit, and that these spirits must be respected or else bad luck will come to them. For instance, they must not throw away any old clothing, nor burn it, for that would be the same as destroying a part of themselves. They must make a bundle of the old clothes and put it on the branches of a large spruce tree outside the village. All fish bones are carefully put away in a basket to be taken out to the middle of a river, to make and then thrown overboard. Then the fish bones are every single bone, after it is put back every the water, will turn into a fish, and this is sure to keep up the supply. When a child is born the father has to put away all tools that are made of iron or steel and is not allowed to use them for 20 days. During that time he is not allowed to go outside to do any work or any hunting. Should he do any of these things it would surely cause the death of the baby. When a child dies it is not buried, but is wrapped in a bundle and placed at the foot of a spruce sapling. If the tree dies within a year the spirit of the child dies also. When a grown person dies the body is kept at least three days in the room and has died. Then the time for burial should be set aside a hillside or a high bank facing the river. There is the village of departed spirits on the side facing the river and on the other side the spirits of the dogs who have died and who belong to the people whose spirits are there. The spirit of an old woman takes care of these dogs—Southern Workman. Pollteness Is Too Neglected. Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale University is right in saying that the young men of today possess even a greater power of endurance than their fathers. The war has demonstrated that the luxuries of modern life have not produced a degenerate life. Our own heroes of 1776 were no more hardy than the young men in hardiness. We have not endured the endurance of the modern soldier is not alone a matter of physique or physical strength but of moral stamina as well. What we need to cultivate is not simply a sturdy manhood through military discipline, but also to give our boys and girls training in courtesy. Military training teaches obedience, a quality that our youth sorely need to acquire, but we need to instill the minds of our boys as public schools lessons of politeness and respect for the rights of others. No other nation has neglected politeness as we have done—Leslie's. Cement From Sugar-Beet Waste A result of experiments in French factories is the production of an excellent cement as a by-product of beet cement refining. The first step in the production of sugar from beets is boiling them. It has heretofore been customary to throw away as valueless the scum formed on the caldrons. But it has now been discovered that this scum contains large quantities of carbonate of lime. It is estimated that 4,000 tons of the carbonates can be recovered from 70,000 tons of beets. To this quantity of the carbonate 1,100 tons of clay is added, the resultant product being a good cement. The beet scum is pumped into large reservoirs and is then used for a certain length of time before being mixed with the clay. It is then stirred or beaten for an hour before being fed into rotary ovens such as is used in making Portland cement. Not In Hla Line. An auto load of Dunkards came into Winchester one day last week, and it was noticeable that the motor of their machine was "knocking." They stopped in front of the undertaking establishment of O. O. Fraze, which is next door to the Hecker & Doyel garage. One of the men left the machine and went into the undertaker's office, thinking it was the office of the garage. "I would like for you to look at my motor and see what's wrong with it," said the man. "It isn't dead, is it?" queried the undertaker. "No, it is still running," said the Dunkard, whereupon the undertaker replied: "If it isn't dead we can't do anything for it. This is an undertaker's shop." The man was then directed to the nearby garage—Indianapolis News. Character Game First If you are to become capable and efficient, desire, will, attention, concentration, purpose, discipline, reflection, analysis and research are each an exercise to be diligently applied.

A bumper crop of cotton is expected the next year in Mexico. The tracts in the Lima and the La Lima district of the state of Coahuila and Durango will be three times as great as for the past year, when it amounted to more than half a million bales of a total value of ten million dollars. None of it was exported, but it was all consumed in the factories of the republic. NOT SO EASY TO BE BAD One Who Tries It May Come to Attach New Mention to Biblical Injunction. It is a popular fallacy that it is much easier to be bad than good. So firmly rooted is this error that it is universally accepted, H. Varley writes in Judge. It is very easy to demonstrate the absurdity of it. Imagine yourself, for a moment, having decided to be bad as possible. Throw. off all thought of convention of law, of caring for the opinions of others and of heeding the still, small voice within you. Here you are then, ready to be bad. Not just ordinarily, pretty bad—but bad to the nth degree. What shall you do? Murder? That’s silly, for there is none you hate enough and if there was the fear of eventually sitting in a chair not upholstered would confuse you murder. Rob a bank? How delightful the prospect, you can’t tear open iron bars with your bare hands nor dig through granite with your fingernails. Elope with your neighbor’s wife? That is the most ridiculous of all, for you know your neighbor and that removes any wish to endure, for a moment, what he suffers indefinitely. So you stand, and mentally go through the whole category of badness without finding a single thing you can without much more trouble than you can perform some good deed. The worst thing you yourself doing (that is feasible) is to despise it for its very littleness. So you see the difficulty of being just a little bad—the utter impossibility of being really bad. Then the Biblical induction comes to you with an entirely new meaning: "The way of the transgressor is hard." MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK Ingenious English Officer Devised Scheme by Which They Earn Their Daily Bread. Monkeys actually are made to work in Malabar, India, which is perhaps the only place in the world where they earn their salt. The Malabar monkey is of the fine species known as the langur. It is very warm at Malabar, and there is a fan called the punka, which used to be kept in motion by a slave. It required a slave to work each punka, but now every punka in Malabar is worked by a monkey. It was an English officer who conceived the idea of making the langur work in that manner. The fan is a movable frame covered with canvas and suspended from the ceiling. The motion is caused by pulling a cord. The officer tied the hands of a languor to one of the cords, and then by means of another cord put the machine in motion. Of course, the monkey's hand went up and down, and the animal wondered what sort of a game was being played. Then the monkey of a game was being fed and fed it with candy till soon the monkey thought it fine fun to work the punka. The experiment was successful, and now thousands of monkeys are in harms. Who Built It? Summing up his interpretation of the Amiens cathedral, the "Bible of Amiens," Ruskin asks: "Who built it, shall we ask? God and man is the first true answer. The stars in their courses built it, and the nations Greek Athens labors here, the Greeks Jove and Guardian Marry. The Gaul labors here and the Frank; kingly Norman, mighty Ostrogoth and wasted anchorage of Idumea. The actual man who built it scarcely cared to tell you he did so; nor do the historians brag of him. Any quantity of heraldries of knaves and fainnents you may find in what they call their history; but this is probably the first time you ever read the name of Robert of Luzarches. I say he "scarcely cared"; we are not the cares he cared at all. He signed his name marry, but you can see you. You may perhaps find some recent visitors cut by English remarkable visitors desirous of immortality, here and there about the edifice, but Robert the builder, or at least the master of that building, cut on his no stone of it." Give "Overt" a Chance. Many a fine adjective has been spotted by being hooked up, in some facile phrase, to a commonplace noun. For example, overt. Never in my life, writes H. L. Mencken in the New York Sun, have I encountered overt save in front of act. Thus joined and poisoned, it is mouthed abominably by lawyers and newspaper editorial writers; the literate fauna of a superior type avoid a fine adjective altogether. And yet it is a fine adjective worth knowing. Why not overt honesty, overt destiny, overt love? I once had an overt black eye. Earlier in this life I made overt eyes at a girl overtly red-haired, and remember her oleaginous kiss every time the barber's brush slides across my face. Let us appoint a committee to get overt out of fall. A Useful Husband. "Why in the world does his wife call him Picket Fence?" "Well, she says he's easy to see through."

CORN AND OATS SUBSTITUTES. Allies Must Have Wheat Enough to Maintain Their War Bread Till Next Harvest. If we are to furnish the allies with the necessary proportion of wheat to maintain their war bread from now until the next harvest, and this is a military necessity, we must reduce our monthly consumption to 21,000,000 bushels a month as against our normal consumption of about 42,000,000 bushels, or 50 per cent, of our normal consumption. This is the situation as set forth by the U. S. Food Administration at Washington. Reserving a portion of the distribution to the army and for special leaves for cereal consumption approximately 14% pounds of wheat products weekly per person, the Food Administration's statement continues: Many of our consumers are dependent upon bakers' bread. Such bread must be durable and therefore requires a larger proportion of wheat products than cereal breads baked in the household. Our army and navy require a full allowance. The well-to-do in our population can make greater sacrifices in the consumption of wheat products than can be made in addition, our population in the agriculture where the other cereals are abundant, and skilled in the preparation of breads from these other cereals than the crowded city and industrial populations. With improved transportation conditions we now have available a surplus of potatoes. We also have in the spring months a surplus of milk, and we have ample corn and oats for human consumption. The drain on rye and barley as substitutes has already greatly exhausted the supply of these grains. We affect the needed saving of wheat we are wholly dependent upon the voluntary assistance of the American people and we ask that the following rules shall be observed: 1. Householders to use not to exceed a total of 1½ pounds per week of wheat products per person. This means not more than 1½ pounds of Victory bread containing the required percentage of substitutes and one-half pound of cooking flour, macaroni, crackers, pastry, ples, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, all combined. We also need to observe two wheatless days per week Monday and Wednesday, as at present. In addition thereto, not to serve to any one guest at any one meal an aggregate of breadstuffs, macaroni, crackers, pastry, ples, cakes, wheat breakfast cereals, containing a total of more than two ounces of flour. No wheat products to be served unless specially ordered. Public eating establishments not to buy more than six pounds of wheat products for human consumption thus conforming with the limitations requested of the householders. 3. Retailers to sell not more than one-eighth of a barrel of flour to any town customer at any one time and not more than one-quarter of a barrel to any country customer at any one time, and in no case to sell wheat products without the sale of an equal weight of other cereals. 4. We ask the bakers and grocers to reduce the volume of Victory bread sold, by delivery of the three-quarter pound leaf where one pound was sold and corresponding sack bakers in other weights. We also ask bakers not to increase the amount of their wheat flour purchases beyond 70 percent of the average monthly amount purchased in the four months prior to March 1. 5. Manufacturers using wheat products for non-food purposes should cease such use entirely. 6. There is no limit upon the use of other cereals, flours, and meals, corn, barley, buckwheat, potato flour, et cetera. Many thousand families throughout the land are now using no wheat products whatever, except a very small amount for cooking purposes, and are doing so in perfect health and satisfaction. There is no reason why all of the American people who are able to subsist perfectly well with the cannot subsist perfectly well with the less wheat products than one and one-half pounds a week, and we specially ask the well-to-do households in the country to follow this additional programme in order that we may provide the necessary marginal supplies for those parts of the community less able to adapt themselves to so large a proportion of substitutes. In order that we shall be able to make the wheat exports that are absolutely demanded of us to maintain the civil population and soldiers of the allies and our own army, we propose to supplement the voluntary co-operation of the public by a further limitation of distribution, and we shall place at once restrictions on distribution which will be adjusted from time to time because of the uneven distribution as possible. With the aid of harvest we should be able to relax such restrictions. Until then we ask for the necessary patience, sacrifice and co-operation of the distributing trades.

OUR WAR INTENTIONS "We intend what our forefathers, the founders of this Republic, intended. We in America believe our participation in this war to be the fruitage of what they planted. Our case differs from theirs only in this, that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. . . . "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No halfway decision would be tolerable. No halfway decision is conceivable. . . . "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which can never be crushed to earth again; for they have in their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph."—From the President's Mount Vernon Address. NO CAMOUFLAGED REPUBLICAN The Republicans of Michigan, speaking through their State chairman, say that President Wilson's entry of Henry Ford in the Wolvinger Senatorial race will make no difference with Republican plans. Those plans look for the nomination of a straight patriotic Republican, one who never was a pacifist—before or since the war began—one who never contributed money to pay for Democratic advertising, one who has voted more than once in the past twenty years, and each time voted the Republican ticket. BONDS OF THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN. Bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now being turned out by the thousands daily by the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The bonds are similar in form and design to those of the third loan, and has been left on each bond for inscription of the exact terms of the bonds. It is believed that a sufficient number of the bonds will be ready to make possible immediate delivery of one of the fourth loan as they are purchased. END LYNCHINGS AND MOB SPIRIT, URGES PRESIDENT Proclamation Decries Growth of Disorders “Emulating Germany”—Called Blow at Human Justice and Aid to Enemy Propaganda. Washington, July 26.—Forcefully denouncing an apparent growth of mob spirit as emulating the "lawless passion" of Germany, who has "disregarded sacred obligations of law and made lynchers of her armies." President Wilson today appealed to the country to make an end of this disgraceful evil. Lynchings, he said, constitute "a blow at the heart of law and human justice," and contribute "to German lies about the United States what her most gifted lion cannot improve upon by the way of calumny." great democracy, but its betrayer, and does more to discredit her by that pile of disgrace and ards of law and right than the words of her statesman or the sacrifices of her heroic boys in the trenches can do to make suffering peoples believe her to be their savior. "How shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no protection to the war." "Every mob contributes to German lies about the United States what he TEXT OF PROCLAMATION. The text of the president's proclamation follows: "My fellow countrymen: 'I take the liberty of addressing you upon a subject which so vitally affects the honor of the nation and the very constitution that I trust you will think me justified in speaking very plainly about it. 'I allude to the mob spirit which has recently here and there very frequently shown its head among us, not in any single region, but in many and widely separated parts of the country. There have been many lynchings and murders just of them has been a blow at the heart of ordered law and human justice. "No man who loves America, no man who really cares for her fame and honor and character, or who is truly loyal to her institutions, can justify mob action while the government and the government of the states and nation are ready to do their duty. 'We are at this very moment fighting lawless passion. Germany has outlawed herself among the nations because she has disregarded the sacred obligations of law and has made lynchers of her armies. Lynchers emulate her disgraceful example, I, for my part, am anxious to see every community America tries that level, with authority a fixed system which no man or set of men can afford to despise. NO NOT DISCREDIT. "We proudly claim to be the champions of democracy. If we really are in that position, we can do it that we do not discredit our own.

Joseph Baldacci (administrator) June 21, 1984-1994, are now historic dates in colored American history. They mark the approach or colored Americans to their federal government in behalf of justice and liberty for their racial group. These eight days with a Sabbath day thrown in, witnessed the gathering of delegates from all sections of the country in the midst of a world's war to formulate and present to the federal Congress a statement of the grievous wrongs visited upon their race and a demand for redress. They came to question questions of loyalty, and in spite of a Jewish-American major's attempt through the War Department to thwart this race convention, yet there was no wavering among these delegates. They came for a share in the war, and which their country's president proclaimed as the flower of their race, was sent into battle in another hemisphere, and they never faltered. Day after day the delegates met in two executive sessions without a dissent call. Firm in the conviction that they were true to the real natriotism THE SECOND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDANCE Washington, D. C., July, 1918. A second Declaration of Independence was enunciated and entered in the records of the U. S. Congress at the time of the ratification of the sensus of opinion among thoughtful Washingtonians who heard the petition to the Government read at the closing one of the five public mass meetings of the National Colored Liberty Congress or who have read the Congressional Record of June 29th. Like the first Declaration, this one was the creation of a delegated assembly, a citizens' congress with a national membership. The Liberty Congress had members and delegates from 29 states and the District of Columbia, men and women, protesting injustice and tyranny, responding to a call. Like the first one this Declaration represented the voluntary, uncompensated, sacrifice of the marginalized Americans for liberty and an equal GOD GIVE US MEN. God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. —J. G. Holland. "My fellow countrymen great democracy, but its betrayer, and does more to discredit her by that single disloyalty to her stand- and right than the words of her stalemate and riffles of her heroic boys in the trenches can do to make suffering people believe her to be their aim. "How shall we commend democracy to the acceptance of other peoples if we disgrace our own by proving that it is, after all, no protection to the warwomen? "Every mob contributes to German lies about the United States what her most gifted lilacs cannot improve upon by the way of calumny. "They can at least say that such things cannot happen in German excep- tions of revolution when law is swept away." "I therefore very earnestly and solemnly beg that the governors of all states, the law officers of every community, and, above all, the men and women of every community in the United States, all give their aid and wish to keep her name without stain or reproach, will co-operate—not passively merely, but actively and watchfully—to make an end to this disgraceful evil. It cannot live here that the community does not countenance it. The government must put to its great energy into this work and has responded—responded with a spirit and a genius for action that has thrilled the world. "I now call upon it, upon its men and women everywhere, to see to it that its laws are kept inviolate, its fame untarnished." SHOW LOYALTY AT HOME "Let us show our utter contempt for the things that have made this war hideous among the wars of history by showing how those who love liberty by laying down justice and are willing to lay down justice and are willing to foreign fields stand ready also to illustrate to all mankind their loyalty to the things at home which they wish to see established as a blessing and the protection to the people who have never been privileges of liberty and self-government. "I can never accept any man as a champion of liberty either for ourselves or for the world who does not reverence and obey the laws of our own beloved land, whose laws we ourselves have written, and the standards of the enemies of this country, whom he affects to despise." in seeking to wipe out the inconsistency of their country at home and were race loyal in seizing this world opportunity to seek for their race re-prosecution, the press and democratic prescription, the federal Executive by sending a written request to him to convene both houses of Congress to hear them and sending a delegation to get his answer. He asked the heads of both houses of Congress by asking their regiments to the Speaker of one and the President of the other to ask for a joint session. And in Speaker Clark they found a responsive hearer right the extraordinary opportunity could not be secured. They sought the advisement of the government by inviting two members of Congress to address this Liberty Congress. Madden Martin B. Madden of Illinois and L. C. Dyer, of Missouri, declared all true Americans at home should be bringing about democracy in the U. S. A. while the soldiers are fighting in Europe for world democracy. Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, presented the petition to the U. S. Senate. share in the Rights of Man. While the Revolutionary patriots met to initiate war, those race patrons met at the seat of Government when the French and British and without equivocation set forth the denials to their racial element of those rights of democracy to spread which their country was avowedly taking part in a world war. The French and British and Liberty Congress' key note sounded by Maurice W. Spencer, local chairman, the first night, which echoed and reechoed in every speech and in the petition, that when the U. S. A. was preclaiming world-democracy as a national institution, and color discrimination in federal departments, in public places in the national capitol, in government schools, in public carriers under government control, in the election of the president, in the abolished by congress, which should also make lynching a federal crime.

For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tenency among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. A GREAT JOKE (?) Recently some colored editors under the direction of E. J. Scott and J. E. Spingarn met in Washington and asked the government for "that minimum of consideration" for racial wrongs, and they evidently touched a tender chord in the breast of those dear friends of the colored people—the white South. For instance, the editor of the Lexington (Ky.) Herald quotes this conclusion, praises it and naively adds, "Assuredly he is entitled to nothing less." TOUCH NOT COTTON! Fear is expressed in some quarters that the Democrats may lose some seats in the House because the Democratic President vetoed the provision for a price of $2.40 for wheat. They will lose the seats alright, but that will not be the reason. The farmers have never asked nor desired special legislation. They have asked no special favors. All they have ever asked or desired was to be treated the same as others are treated. They are indignant, and have very good right to be indignant because the Democratic administration limited the price of wheat and did not limit the price of cotton or tobacco—Southern commodities. They are indignant and have a right to be indignant because the administration limited the price of what they sell and did not limit the price of the most important things they buy. A farmer who would not resent that sort of treatment would be an unworthy citizen of a nation whose fundamental principal is equality—equal rights for all and special rights for none. This has been a sectional, partisan administration from the beginning, and there are a lot of people who are not going to forget the fact on election day.

Stamps and Thrift Stamps (25 cents) at any AMERICANIZATION The basic need in America at this moment, and for many years to come, is the fusion of our heterogeneous population into an American entity. If we fought a civil war to prevent geographical division, we should find it worth while now to make some deliberate and mighty effort to prevent a more insidious and fatal division. This effort should not be spasmatic and sporadic. It should be constant. The foregoing from the Chicago Tribune hits the nail on the head. And it is especially necessary for the colored people to stop trying to segregate. The colored person who advocates fincrimow in church or state is an enemy of the Nation. PLUTOCRATS DOING HARM Says the Saturday Evening Post: "The modern pluratic ideal is to soar far away from the common lot and then volplane gracefully back to it. Why take the trouble to soar at all? Why not distribute the millions for the common weal before they are collected in the capacious individual reservoir?" Many of the men who have made treat fortunes by questionable methods in some cases, and in nearly every case, by paying employees low wages. Carnegie made a great fortune and is now aiding race prejudice by endowing jimcrow libraries in the South and Rosencrow the Jewish multimillionaire is using some of his money to aid the Christians in proving that their religion is a fake by building jim crow Y. M. C. A's all over the country. There are a few honest and sincere colored men who use the term "negro" in describing themselves, but the majority who use the term are jimcrowds pure and simple. The time has come to eliminate such words as German, Negro, Irishman, Lithuanian, etc. People in the United States ought to be satisfied to be known as Americans. That one word is big enough to include all persons born in this country Defective Page THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than the world, the counten the hearts of friends ON THE RIGHTS OF MAN. I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. Influential colored men in various parts of the country have signed a strong memorial to the President, Cabinet, Congress and the Governors of the states. We quote a portion of it. We are one group of American people than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in Federal service the treatment accorded us is humilating, dehumanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the colored man's self respect, the object being not merely to separate races, but to impress us with the idea of supposed natural inferiority. Such demoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of fundamental rights of citizens of the United States, but the persistent segregation of any element of our country's population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation can not long endure. When we reflect upon their brutalities and indignities, we remember they are due to the fact that in almost every Southern state we have systematically by law or chicterned be deprived of the right that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the Republic. The propaganda of filching from colored Americans the ballot is but a supreme effort and to force our assent thereto. To this the colored man does not, can not and will not agree. Of it our intolerance is cumulative. Against it, we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible colored man, but every colored woman shall be welding the ballot proudly in defense of our homes. We are appealing to you neither as vassals or inferiors. Bull Run and Appatomatox fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens—free men who purchased our freedom with our own blood on every battle field Garrizal, Garrizal, full rights and immunities such as our freely granted to others but systematically refused to us. INSULTS COLORED WORLD Boston Transcript Commits Treason in Preferring Ruin of France Rather Than Mixture of Blood of Colored Races Fighting (Boston Transcript.) However, Tommy Akkins may to a considerable extent be inclined to settle in France. So, very likely, would be the whole body of the Portuguese and French laborers in the Italianans. Thousands at the Chinese laborers may stay, and so may the black soldiers from Senegambia and other African French colonies. Unfortunately the incorporation of most French population would represent monrealization and degeneration. France would do better, in the long run, to send them home, for the immeasurable economic or industrial advantage of French population be more than counterbalanced by the disadvantage of the mixture. France amalgamates all racial elements that enter her gates. Her best hope for entering the home reels on such a strengthening of her cultural and moral bases as would result in a normal increase of the native population, and a steady immigration of enterprising young people from foreign countries. The French are Spanish or Ligurian peasants. If the of the French nation should be Africanized or Asiaticized as the result of the war the country's eventual fate from that source would be greater than mitigating from the destruction of her cities and the ravage of her fields.

Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes Mental and Physical Segregation. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by a person than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor at work at the present to bring about both a physical and mental segregation of the people of color. Its our speakers and writers, especially our speakers and writers, especially Do Bois and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nausea, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term "Negro" is not only absurdly as应用ed as millions of colo- nate Americans are injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uprising. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was applied to the higher type, but to Guinea, Sudanese and Bengamblans only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroim," "Nemgr," and its compounds, "Negrohead, Negrofly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine form, "Negress," is justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. it has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." f. it not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Nemgr" and "Niger." g. as stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the thought, sympathy and co-operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world.

Only a few neighbors and friends were present. The groom is one of the draftees and will leave with the men today. The bride will remain at Mrs. Allens. Mr. Roy Goins, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. Goins, 661. W. Central AVE, hied himself to Rochester, Minn., last week, not for the purpose of having a rib extracted by the Drs. May, but for the more pleasant operation of taking unto himself another rib in the person of Miss Henrietta O'Shields, of that city, with a D. D. instead of a M. D. to perform the operation, which was successfully accomplished last Friday. The newly-weds took a short honeymoon trip to Chicago and arrived in St. Paul Wednesday morning and repaired to the family residence. As Mr. Goins is one of the draffees to leave today his honeymoon will need sarily be cut short, much to the regret of himself and bride as well as to his relatives and friends.

HARRIS. Has a "Stag" Given in His Honor by His Big Brother. Among the "quartet" of big social events that occurred on last Wednesday evening, a practically pleasing one was, the "send off" given to Mr. Clifford N. Harris; one of the draftees, by his brother, District Deputy, R. Sid. Harris, in one of the lodge rooms of Union Hall, assisted by Mr. N. A. Casey. The guests consisted of the Elk friends of the guest of honor, a number of his associate draftees and other prominent citizens. Mr. F. D. McCracken acted as toastmaster and happily filled the bill. Excellent speeches were made by Defective Page Capt. O. C. Hall, Atty. W. T. Francis, Jas. A. Mitchell, Atty. Hammond Turner and others. Atty. Turner made a quick hit with his timely and pertinent address and had his clothes almost torne off by his enthusiastic audience. A splendid collation was served with "Bevo" as a beverage and good cigars as consolers. MEMORIAL MENTIONINGS The pulpit was beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers furnished by Mrs. Hd. Williams and Mrs. R. J. Solomon. The subject of the pastor's sermon tomorrow morning will be: "Shallow or Deep in God," in the opening: "The Ant and the Sluggard." Yrs. people's meeting at 6:30 p. m. Mrs. A. W. Jordan, president. All are cordially welcomed. In the commonly accepted sense of the term, services at Memorial last Sunday were good and, so were the offering; and yet, compared with what ought to be the case, both were feeble. A higher type of consecration is what we are pleading for in Memorial, so that Jehovah's glory may be more manifest. Miss Hallie Q. Brown lectured in the evening service, basing her remarks upon the scriptures. Her subject: "What Is In Thy Hand?" was handled in a masterful way, and for literary merit, religious worth, and practical value was a rare gem. Mme. Jean Hodges, of New Zealand, followed the address with a song, rendered in tones of strength and rich melody. "THE ST. PAUL GIRLS" Gave a Delightful Dancing Party in Honor of "Our Twin City Draftees." The "St. Paul Girls" have good reason to be puffed up with pride over the success of their "Dancing Party" given in honor of "Our Twin City Draftees" at Union Hall, Tuesday evening. The affair was not a public one, as some people supposed, but was sponsored by the following named ladies who chose: Mesdame Lili Kahn, Knight Harriet Cage, Grace Booker, Ennice Goins, Eleanor Smith, Cecil Ward, Waunemae, Cotton, Lorena Griffin, Floreta Artis, Ida May Murphy, Flossie Johnson, Harriet Oliver, Ida Brady; Misses Loucelia James, Ruth McGhee Adina Adams, Mayme Goves, Vergie Tibbs, Grace Wills, Loucelia Elliott, Josephine Labadie, Charlotte Gillard Clara Howard, Theda Ridley, Martha Goins. The hall was quite handsomely appropriately and profusely decorated, and was completely filled by the guests of the hostesses, all of whom, were as handsomely and appropriately, if not, perhaps, so profusely gowned. You know they say: "Beauty is most adorned, when least adorned and when most adorned, so profusely perquiste of the patronesses. The music was fine and the whole affair was delightful in every way to the draftees and the promoters. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. Military Demonstration, Race Moving Pictures and Home Guard Ball. The above attractions were largely advertised to be given at New Coliseum Hall, but the advance sale of tickets by the Home Guard was so great that it was found the Coliseum would be too small so a change was made to Arcadia and the biggest and best public demonstration ever held in Arcadia Dancing Palace was held there last Thursday evening. The hall is the most beautiful in the city and so was the crowd of over 700 that graced it. During the early evening the 16th Bathedral Band of 40 pieces gave a delightful concert outside the hall. The band then went inside and rendered several selections. A feature of the evening was the drilling of detachments from the Home Guard Co.'s A, B, C and D, consisting of 40 men under the command of Capt. Charles Summer Smith, who also subsequently acted as master of ceremonies and introduced Sergt. F. D. McCracken who made a splendid address to the crowd of draftees that were present and lined up to listen. Then came the splendid race picture of the Battle of Carrizal, featuring our great movie star, Noble M. Johnson, in the Trooper of Troop K. In the picture we seen, seen to the excellent music of the Home Guard Orchestra, and continued until after 1:00 o'clock when the crowd reluctantly departed for home delighted with the evening's magnificent entertainment. This splendidly successful entertainment was mainly the result of the excellent executive management of Lieut. J. Homer Goins, of St. Paul, who mapped out the plans and carried them to a successful conclusion, in which he was very materially aided by the members of the Twin Cities' Home Guard. Mr. Goins believes in the importance of a demonstration that it pays to advertise. He and his fellow associates in the big success desire to thank the public for its patronage and appreciation of their efforts to please. THE PUBLIC RECEPTION. To the Draftees and Capt. Hall At Union Hall a Big Success. The citizens of St. Paul did themselves proud in their public reception given in honor of the Draftees and Capt. O. C. Hall at Union Hall Wednesday evening. The hall was jam packed and the wildest enthusiasm prevailed throughout. It is not known exactly how many of the 118 draftees were present but those who were there will never forget the words of cheer, hope and good will which were uttered by every speaker. Mr. F. D. McCracken presided in an admirable enthusiastic manner. Rev. T. J. Carr offered the invocation. Prof. Otis Murray's Syncaped Blue Streak Jazz Band furnished the inspiring music. Mrs. Harriet Hall's Folk Song Singers: Mesdames Mattie Blair, Clora Grissom, W. C. Hood, Harriet Oliver; Messrs. Lonnie Jackson, S. E. and A. V. Hall and C. H. Miller, sang. Mr. Tracey C. Young, author of the great song, Home of the song, "saw this song only he is singing." The audience went wild and he had to give two encores. The ladies of the Red Cross had the song on sale and Mr. Tracey generously donated half of the proceeds. Atty. Hammond Turner made a rousing address followed by First Lieut. Geo. L. Hoage. Rev. J. M. Henderson made one of his characteristic addresses. Mrs. Mattle Blair sang, "I'm Lonesome for you" and "Everybody Root for Uncle Sam." Capt. O. C. Hall, overseas secretary for the Y. M. C. A., spoke very enthusiastically followed by the Folk Song Singers with "Joshua Fought the Battle at Jericho." Mr. J. Kidd Hilyard made a fine talk as did Mrs. Maud Hoage, president of Rachel Harris Red Cross Unit. Mrs. Harriet Hall Hall sang, "God Be in Our Boys Tonight." Atty. W. Cummings was the next speaker. He prepares his remarks by presenting a wrist sign to Mr. Roy Goins a gift from his fellow Red Caps at the Union Depot. He then gave one of his usual impiring speeches. The Folk Song Singers rendered Will Marion Cook's great song, "Swing Along," and as a grand finale, by request, Mr. Tracey Young again sang his "Red, White and Blue" with everybody joining in the chorus and thus ended one of the biggest demonstrations ever held in St. Paul. He served illumination during the evening by placing followed and continued until 1:00 o'clock. This great affair was the result of the concerted efforts of the following committee that is entitled to the credit for this magnificent affair: M. A. BOLLING, Chairman. G. W. Stewart J. W. Kelly Hammond Turner Lannie Jackson W. R. Godette W. Williams F. B. Simpson W. J. Utley A. V. Hall F. D. McCracken B. C. Aroher R. N. Travis J. Q. Adams E. C. Walker Jos. Reed J. B. Johnson H. G. Johnson REPORT OF COMMITTEE. To the Generous Public: The draftees' committee desires to express its appreciation of the loyalty and liberality shown in the donations for the draftees' reception at Union Hall last Wednesday evening. These men are to represent us on the battlefields overseas and give us a greater claim for our rights as American citizens. Although their services have been acquired by conscription we can proudly say, that this would not have been necessary had there been a general call for volunteers regarding color. We are to release a report a total collection of $2.30 and expenditures amounting to $5.10 leaving a balance of $2.13 on hand as a nucleus for a draftees' reception fund, to which other money collected will be added for future entertainments for draftees. M. A. Bolling, Chairman. Hammond Turner, Treasurer. W. J. Walton, Secretary. LAWYER AND MRS. W. T. FRANCIS AT HOME. Mr. and Mrs. W. T.

Berry Walter Dodson Joseph Levy Dr. Sizer P. H. Southall W. R. Morris Hog Exhibit Unusually Large Shortage of Fats Main Cause ```markdown ``` The world faces such a fat famine that it is imperative for America to raise more hogs. Government specialists say the condition abroad is acute. It is for this reason, principally, that such an effort is being made to arouse interest in the big swine show at the Minnesota State Fair, September 2 to 7. Farmers are being urged to raise more hogs not only because of the scarcity of fats but on account of the scarcity of meat. Hogs multiply five or six times as rapidly as any other meat animal. A sow will produce two litters of pigs in one year, or three litters in two years, each litter averaging from five to six pigs. The hog has no rival as a consumer of garbage, damaged grains, and other unmarketable foods which generally go to waste. They thrive on forage crops and pasturage. It it is because pork is a fatty meat, though, that it has become so essential. The human body must have fatty food in certain quantity, or health is certain to be impaired. Fatty foods have become so scarce in other parts of the world that the condition is getting serious. ly are urged to undertake this office work. Those who have not the required training are encouraged to undergo instruction at once. Examinations for the Departmental Service, for both men and women, are conducted Tuesday, in 48 of the principal cities, and fielded by the applications may be filed with the Commission at Washington, D. C., at any time. The entrance salary ranges from $1,000 to $1,200 a year. Advancement of capable employees to higher salaries is reasonably rapid. Applicants must have reached their eleventh birthday on the date of the examination. For full information in regard to the scope and character of the examination and for application blanks address the U. S. Civil Service Commission, Washington, D. C., or the Secretary of the U. S. Civil Service Board of Examiners at Boston, Mass.; New Orleans, La.; Seattle, Wa.; Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago Ill.; St. Paul, Minn.; St. Louis, Mo.; New Orleans, La.; Seattle, Wash.; San Francisco, Cal.; Honolulu, Hawaii; or San Juan, Porto Rico. JOHN A. McILHENNY, President, Service Commission, Washington, D.C. BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Remember that National War Savings Day is June 28.—Pledge yourself on or before that day to save to the utmost of your ability and to buy War Fatty Meats Needed. ```markdown ``` America simply must increase its production of hogs, or the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives elsewhere is certain to result. In the face of this unusual demand for pork the production of hogs in America has decreased rapidly in the last few years. From 1913 to 1916 there was an increase of about 6,250,000 hogs in the United States, but since then there has been such a rapid decrease that we have fallen far behind in our efforts to meet the greater European an demand. Last year America exported over 1,500,000,000 pounds of pork, or three times as much as was exported before the Great War opened. Show a Stimulant.

Gillis TRI-STATE- TELEPHONE. Field work on the state telephone valuation was begun this week in Ramsey County, when a crew headed by Mr. Chas. H. Christallw, of Glenwood, as chief, started to make a detailed inventory of all the property of the Tri-State Telephone & Telegraph Company devoted to the long distance or toll service. The task of appraising the value of the toll lines in Minnesota was imposed upon the State Railroad and Warehouse Commission by the last legislature, and the Commission entrusted the actual work to Mr. D. F. Jurgensen, its Chief Engineer. He has about 10,000 miles of toll pole lines extending to every corner of the state to enter upon his reports, and as these must include a record of the condition of every unit entering into telephone construction, and that to the minutest detail, the task is an exacting one. If a sufficient number of capable telephone men will be available this season, it is expected that the outside work will be finished this year. The notes now being taken will not only give the Commission a complete record of the telephone property in the state, but the data will also form a basis in determining the reasonableness of the long distance telephone or PETER H.

The Minnesota Recruiting District is somewhat elated over the fact that in April, 1,103 recruits were secured in the state, which is believed to be the highest record in the country. When the final count was made for May, however, it was found that 1,240 recruits had entered the service. A rush of men during the last few days of the month netted 175 May 31, which was the banner day for the month. The rush was largely of men 21 years of age, who would have been compelled to register June 5. This as Major John D. Yost, Recruiting Officer for the Minnesota District says: "Shows conclusively that Minnesota is back of the boys at the front, and can be counted on for whole-hearted support at all times."
