Guardsmen Seek
Restoration OF
the heCompanyFund

With the departure of local
guardsmen for "some place in Amer
lea" not FAR off, agitation for the
restoration of company fund is
being talked among business men
of the city. When the boys went
TO the border a year ago they took
with them a generous Offering from
South Bend merchants and manu-
facturers. This money was used TO
provide little luxUries unfurnished
by the government commissary.
A suggestion as TO a means of
providing and maintaining a fund
in which all may have a hand comes
from Canada. There a plan was de-
vised early in the war and is still in
operation. No matter how long hos
tilities last, there will always be a
fund, added TO from week TO week
and month TO month.
Manufacturers and merchants are
in charge Of the fund which is made
up by the men in their employ. A
contribution is started, each en-
ploye giving a days pay every three
months for the fund of his city S
company. After signing the agree
ment arranged. the contributor has
nothing else 10 do but feel content
and happy in the fact he is doing
| his bit"
The manufacturer or merchant
makes allowance for the contribu-
| ton at the three-mOnth period and
deposits the money in a local bank
/ in an account from which the cap
tain of the company is privileged tC
draw as funds are needed. Plans
are made for the caring for those
! men who may be in other branches
OF the regular army service, also.

PUTTING ROPER ON THE JOB

BY transferring Daniel c. Roper
from the Tariff Board TO the Internal
Revenue CommlSsionership the Presi-
dent has taken round peg out OF
square hole and put it into a place
where i, will fl. Roper's destgna'
ton as tariff commissioner was re-
earded satirically from the time II
was made. He knew nothing Of the
tariff except as he had gained il from
obsolete Statistical! tables which came
under his view while he was with the
Census Bureau; and no one pretended
that he was a business man or an
economist. He was and is a political
worker. Over in the Postofticc De-
partment, where he had been an
assistant postmaster general he at
tended to politics---for which there is
plenty of opportunity in the postal
seryice-and when he left that place,
last summer, to take an important
position in the Wilson headquarters
in New York it is generally believed
that he took along with him lot Of
valuable information which he had
gained as a result Of his official serv'
ice in tho Postoffice Department.
But Roper's political equipment was
too valuable ia be permitted to rust
out in such m office as that Of the
Tariff Board; and his present appoint.

THE UNITARIAN SNAKE

Ever since the snake In the Garden
of Eden performed in such a shabby
manner towards all mankind, all

serpents Of every character. They

mitigation. in spite OF the fact that
the American Forestry Association
tells us to conserve the snake. he is
a friend Of the gardener" The
Association in its most seductive
manner goes on to say that reptiles
are the greatest enemies of rodents
that destroy grain and carry disease.
They strike only in self-defense, and
few are poisonous. Unless much
educational work is done; the number
or snakes that will be killed next year

FOR THE sINEWs OF WAR

The campaign for subscriptions TO
the second issue Of Liberty Loan
bonds was perfected last night at
meeting Of representatives Of the bust
ness and financial interests Of this
district, comprising the six northern.
most counties Of the State, with
Wheeling as the headquarters. The
Accomplishments of this section in the
last loan campaign, which scored a
large oversubscription of the aliot,

much more appealing to the selfish

the patriotic duty is more impressive.

struggle against the oppressive forces
OF. military autocracy, which threaten
the liberty and freedom Of the world.
Those men in the training camps will
jealously watch the public spirit Of
those who remain at home. and any
default on our part In support OF them
in word or action will necessarily
affect them and weaken the morale
of, the whole army. That is why we
should not be content with merely
meeting the amount set but show our
interest and patriotism BY large
over-subscripiop.
1t is important also that the num-
Der Of subscribers should be proper
tionately as large as the loan, which
means many millions. The mark has
been set at 100000 individual sub
scribers. That attainment will show
the popular approval backing the
reasons we have given for entering
the war, and definite notice to our
OaRemies Of our earnestness and deter.
