Coffee Market in Our Hands.

Prior to the trouble I'm Europe Ham,
burg and Havre were the two great
coffee markets of the world, both re-
ceiving goods from the growers of all
the world and storing them I'm wonder
full warehouses to be re-exported ac-
cording to trade requirements. Today
both these markets are totally elimI-
mated and it Is within our power to
dominate the coffee trade of the fu-
ture.
Conditions for this are ideal. In the
first place no duty is charged on coffee
imported into the United States. Sec
ondly, we are well situated, geo.
graphically. to become the distributing
center for this staple for the western
hemisphere and should be the middle
men for this line for the bean grown
In South and Central America and the
West Indies. Furthermore. our larger
ports have many merchants handling

LIBERTY LOAN SALE
BEGINS WITH RUSH
GOOD WORK Is BEING DONE TO-

ENTHUSIASM AROUSED.
CAMPAIGN ENDS OCTOBER II
Variety Of Demonstrations Marks
Opening of Drive in Various Cities
Average of S125, 100000 a Day
Must Be Subscribed.

Washington.-The great Liberty
Loan drive started throughout the
country with a rush. Telegraphic re-
ports to the treasury from every sec
ton indicate tremendous enthusiasm
on the part of tens of thousands OF
workers and a fair first day volume
OF subscription toward the $4,000, OOO,-
OOO minimum which has been set as
the goal of the four weeks campaign.
Flags were flown, whistles were
blown, acres of billboards blossomed
into red, white and blue posters and
thousands of workers started the cam
paign with enthusiasm from New
England to California Everywhere,
from postoffices, bank and store win
dows, railway stations, street cars
and scores of other public places, Lib
erty posters with varied slogans were
pasted up and workers began the
task of finding buyers.
Towns from cities from coast to
coast welcomed the beginning of the
campaign with distinctive demonstra
tons. Here in the capital street cars
were stopped for two minutes at noon
and automobile horns and sirens let
loose a bedlam of noise as the field
force began its work. In hundreds of
other communities the story was the
same, varied only by the methods fol-
lowed.
Boston reported a chorus of steam
whistles greeting the opening of the
campaign. Mayor Mitchell of New
York started it there with an address.
Philadelphia let loose her factory
whistles at 10 o'clock and two hours
later gazed skyward at a squadron OF
six airplanes that circles the tower
of the city hall, dropping loan litera-
ture, while 5000 boy scouts started
collecting contributions.

in five-minute proclamation that the
drive was on. At Atlanta the presi-
dent of the Georgia Federation Of
Women's Clubs called up the chair
man of the Liberty Loan executive
committee before breakfast to get his
subscription-and got It.
Officials here were not inclined to
minimize the tremendous task. A
vast amount of hard work must be
done during the next % more work
ing days by every person in the ranks
of the great organization. An aver
age of $125, 100000 a day in subscrip-
tions for the entire period would only
bring the total up to the minimum.
What officials hope for is to make
every day a $2OO,O00.0 900 day. or on an
eight,hour basis, s25,OO0,oO0 an hour
This would bring the total to within
hailing distance of the $4,000, 600, 900
which the country is expected to sub

His Jinx.

The day that the men of the Ninth
division completed their rifle practice
at Fort Harrison little dog was out
on the range. running back and forth
in front of the targets. When bullet
hit one of the targets with "zlng,"
the little dog would rush up to the tar
get with yelp, barking at the target
until another ''Zing" attracted him to
another target. For more than an hour
he bounded back and forth In front Of
the targets, fearless little venturer
in mo mans land" and finally when
he was called off, he trotted away not
a whit the worse for his experience In
front of the firing line of student Of

Her Choice.

Hazel was at loss to make choice
between two young sprouts in her gar

plant. one that would thrive in any soil
and under any conditions. No shadow
must prevent the sprout selected from
growing.
Every day could not have its full
allotment of sunshine. Which would
she choose? Either was pleasing TO
the eye. Then came a day when the
wind blew hard-a draft from one end
of the country to the other.
One of the sprouts withered from

ties of incendiary bombs while the
Germans kept firing terrific fusillade

at his task and earned his reward
