''His remarkable success, both

WHY THE CENSORSHIP?

Strict censorship has been
placed on news matter that has
been sent direct from the Mexi-
can border by the soldier boys.
In fact, the khaki clad boys are
no longer permitted to furnish
"war" news for their respective
home newspapers. Higher off
cials say it is an old army regu-
lation, but that it has not been
heretofore enforced. Such a
military law ought to be pro-
nounced obsolete. The home
folks are always anxious to hear
from the border, whether or not
they have boys of their own at
the front, and with the elimina-
ton of the "war" dope no par
ticular opportunity is given them
to learn of the welfare of the
soldier boys. Such regulation
has a tendency Of strangIing the
free press.-Springfeld Advance.

YOU'RE IN GOOD COMPANY.

Our taking part in National
Pay-Up Week put us all in the
best of company. The man who
pays up during National Pay
Up Week may be said to rate
himself automatically as one Of
the community's best citizens.
It will be readily appreciated
when it is considered that no
deadbeats will. take part in the
observance of National Pay-Up
Week.
Deadbeats never participate
in any kind Of pay up propo-
sition. It is foreign to their ma
ture to pay when it is possible
to avoid it. National Pay-Up
Week does not appeal to them
at all, and they will not be heard
from during the week Of Octo-
Der End to 7th. It is the very
antithesis Of their form of en-
joyment.
Only those who are honest
and willing to pay will respond
to the patriotic impulses awak-
ened by National Pay-Up Week.
None owes much but there are
so MANY Of that class and their
individual Indebtedness is so
formidable a burden, it can
hardly be realized by persons
not familiar with credit. It is
hard for such people to believe
that their small accounts actual
" combine into a serious bur-
den upon all enterprise.
During the next week every
person in this community should
take enough interest in this
matter to become Informed
about the Importance of Ma
tional Pay-JJp Week as a factor
in the upbuilding Of our COM
munity prosperity. If the buy
ers who are able to pay but are
negligent about settlement day
will take held of matters in
earnest it will surprise not only
themselves but also every man
who has given his endorsement

The explanation of this phe-
nomena is simple, for most of
these objects conduct electricity
so well that electricity induced
on the earth is drawn up
through them and dispersed in
to the atmosphere, thus dissi-
pating the charge of electricity
before it becomes strong enough
to produce a flash. IF a light
ming stroke to one of these OBJ
jects does occur, the mass Of

tion will usually conduct the
current safely to the ground.
