AMERICAS HIGH DUTY

The United States has entered up
on the great world conflict, which is
to decide whether Democracy shall
have a safe place in the sun on the
earth, or not. There is hardly any
duty higher than that which ought
to actuate each citizen to help fur
nish a part of the money which will
be necessary for that purpose.
1t is true that a man may be able
to lend his money out at or Tor s,
and in some places even 10 per cent,
but he might well forgo for the
space of two or three years the
higher rate of interest while he in
vested in 1-2 per cent bonds of the
United States. His principal would
be safe. The bonds are exempt from
taxation, except the inheritance tax,
and exchangeable later for bonds of
a higher rate of interest If the Unit
ed States later during the war issues
such, and are especially freed from
any war tax that may be levied
Our men cannot go to France or
Belgium in any considerable number
for a year. The Governments money
received from the subscriptions to
bonds may get their by wire, the
credit based upon it may, which Is

the same thing, and, after getting
there takes the form of clothing and
food, munitions, rifles and cannons,
and may help our allies to win. Next
to the immediate duty of chasing
submarines and sinking them where
ever they may be found, thereby re-
opening the avenues overseas for the
worlds commerce, there is nothing
that can do so much good as lending
the government your money. And
even in that respect the man who
subscribes to a bond, putting what
ready money he can into it, has the
satisfaction of knowing that his
money has helped build a destroyer,
or buy an armed yacht, which in its
turn has destroyed a submarine
The American people are not a
money loving people in the sense that
a miser is. Their money getting
takes more the form of game,
which is enjoyed because of its skill
and the clash of wits, and their love
of the possession of money is based
more upon the uses to which the
money can be put in elevating them
selves and their children and their
neighbors and the community in
which they live than upon the money
itself, or the reputation of having

PATRIOTIC RESPONSE TO CALL

PATRIOTIC RESPONSE TO CALL
The defense of our country needs
the young men and those of Trego
county have faithfully responded to
the call. Five hundred and nine of
them went bravely to the registra-
ton places in this county Tuesday,
registering their names and made
answers to the questions asked by the
heads of the war department of the
government. There may have been a
few in the county who were slackers
but they have not become known and
none of them made any demonstra-
tion or offered any resistance to reg
isterlng- They were a quiet, patriotic
bunch of young men and stand ready
to further answer their country's call
should their services be needed. The
fapportionment for this county on the
first call is estimated to be between
twenty and thirty which will not
make much of a hole in the total
number. Of course many of those
who registered are married men and
have families, others have dependent
relatives and others are physically
disabled. A few made claims for ex-
enption which will not be accepted
In this city the members Of the
Locust club had prepared kakhi
bands on which was sewed a piece of
red. white and blue ribbon. These
bands were pinned on the arms of the
young men by the ladies as fast as
they registered. Soon after the reg
istration commenced turtle dove
sailed into the room and alighted up
on the decorations. 1t was captured
and one of the bands was fastened
about its body before it was turned
loose. The room was decorated with
the national colors and the flag of
Great Britain was accorded a place
besides Old Glory over the entrance
door.
The number registering by pre-
cincts in this county is as follows:

THE NATIONAL AIR

'tThe Star Spangled Banner" is by
official regulation the National Air,
and the only National Air. When
it is played tremendously all per-
sons within hearing should rise i'm
mediately, and should stand uncov-
cred, during its rendition.
The playing of "The Star Spang-
led Banner" as part of an entertain
ment program or in a melody is not
generally regarded as a ceremonious
playing of the National Air, and
consequently there is no offense to
the Flag if no honors are accorded
it by the people present at such a
rendition.

1 cannot see where the fellow
hopes to get who resists the draft.
The various courts of the United
States will either sustain the law or
will postpone the decision until the
war is over, and justly, too. The
draft law is not law and the only
patriotic thing to do is to submit to
it. Furthermore it is. effective for
only the present crisis.
Some "slackers" may suggest that
the reason for the foregoing para
graph is that Sam too old to be
effected by the draft. Well, I am
and probably my younger brother
will not be effected by it either
although he registered, but that is
not the reason for supporting the
law. 1 did not favor CONSUMPTION be-
for it was made a law but now
favor it because it is the law
o.
After the war is over there will
be some re-adjusting done and we
will not be in favor of some of the
things which we countenance now.
I am informed that at times there
are those who do not indorse the say
ings of this column and would like
objections to answers being made,
provided the writer is decent about
it
