I'LL CLOSE TOMORROW
Only One More Day Remains in Sec
ond Liberty Loan Campaign
Have You Done Your Duty?

Tomorrow night the sun will sc
upon the last day of the second Lib
erty loan bond campaign, and tn
question uppermost in the minds o
every one who desires to do his or he
duty as an American citizen shoulC
be Have | done my duty?"
1t is reported that the German
people in the fourth year of the war
have just subscribed to S3,107 ,000,00(
additional to defeat the United State!
and its Allies.
Are you aware that only five PEI
cent Of the American people sub
sciibcd for the first Liberty Loar
bonds put out in this country?
Isn't it pretty near time that
America woke up?
Have we of the Colonies" for
gotten the immortal words of Pat.
rick Henry, asks well known writer.
The real proof of a mans patriotism
is what he does-not. what he says
What are you doing, Mr. Reader
and what have you done?
Bonds may be purchased at eithe!
of the Alexandria Banks for one dol
lar down and one dollar per week,
until paid for. 1t doesn't cost much
in cash to be real American, but
it will cost considerable in the loss
of the respect of your associates if
it is known that you have not done
your duty in backing up Uncle Sam
and the brave boys who have gone
to the front to offer their lives in
defense of our country.
Liberty Bond Campaign Notes.
Up to half-past eleven o'clock this
morning the Citizens National Bank
OF this city had sold $11s,700 worth
Of the Second Liberty Loan bonds.
The bank was apportioned total
OF $2Ol 900 Of the bonds as its
share at the beginning Of the cam
paign. by the Federal Reserve bank
OF Richmond, and the Gazette is in
formed that the officials of the bank
have decided to take and pay for the
entire allotment after disposing OF
what they can.
Alexandria has another patriotic
Young American in the person of
Master Ferdinand Charles Pitt, aged
l3 wears. who did "his bit for Un-
Gle Sam this morning by, going to
the Citizens National bank and pur-
chasing fifty dollar Liberty bond
with money which he had earned
with his own hands. Prior to that
time he had been saving up his
nicke!s and dimes and depositing
them to his credit in the Postal Saw
ings department at the city post
office. Another interesting fact IS
that the lads father, Mr.. Frederick
IL. Pitt whose place of business IS
Mt 705 King street, was born IN Al
SAGE, under the German Government,
land that the boys Uncle (his fathers
brotherl was a Colonel IN. the kal-
ser's army and died in the German
|. trenches about two years ago. NO
I one will attempt to say that Mr..
Pitt and his young son are not real,
natriotic Americans, today, however
The country needs more Of the same

we're shown. The United States Dairy
Division has assisted In the organiza-
ton Df three bull associations, three
GOW-teSting associations. the purchase
Of or head of cattle, and the estab-
Iishment Of two more creameries.
TO large measure the increasing
importance of Southern dairying is
due to educational work But whether
the dairy business. after being well
started, will grow depends on more
material things. including refrigerat-
ing machinery. Heretofore the lack
OF adequate means for cooling butter
and regulating tha temperature Of
cheese-curing rooms has limited the
advantages or dairying 70 the north
ern half of the United States.
Before the days of ice machines,
Kansas had a liberal sprinkling OF
cheese factories, but they disappeared
because Kansas cheese couldn't com
pete with cheese made in Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and
Canada. Refrigeration changes the
complexion OF things. An ice machine
driven by "a small 60 engine or cleo
trio motor makes dairying indepen-
dent Of any particular latitude What
the South with its year-around pas
lures will do in dairying when in
Vaded by better cows and modern fac
tory equipment iS one Of the bright
things on the dairy horizon"

law courts for selling poison without

Cn such transactions.

out the charge when the Jew sudden
ly interrupted him with the question:
Excuse me, Mr.. President Do you
understand anything about chemi-
Gals I'm
@Mr. s., the expert, ID here in that

about law please address yourself to

You are the judge of the court and
admit that you do not understand any
thing about chemicals, and the expert
tells VII that he does not know any
thing about law. And II, poor Jew,
am expected to be familiar both with
the law and with chemicals. Now,

THE COUNTRY EDITOR is CLOSE

whose finger IL on tn pulse or the
community life about him, who hears
the heartbeat Of his neighbors, wheth-
| er that heartbeat be in JOY or anguish,
and who sees their tears OF joy and
Laughter.

close to the life of those about him,
that give him better understanding
of men and give him the knowledge
and the ability To help solve the prob
lens thas confront the community, be
these problems matters for the indi-
vidual OF for his neighbors generally.
If the publisher OH editor Or the
great metropolitan paper would know
how the day of the country publisher
il passed. let him read the following
words from tn Oakley, (Kan.D
Graphic:
The newspaper business is a great
game. Just in the midst of an obit-
uary OF a dear friend and when hot
tears threaten tO flow down and blot
out the words you write, there breaks
through the Office door the radiant
face of the daddy of new boy. Tears
and Joy mfngle in the same breath,
and the giving and taking away or
life are recorded OF the same page.
Before you have finished the obitu-
airy the breezy advance man for q
comedy show pops in and asks you to
write "a scream for his Forty Fat Frol-
icsome Fairies and how Joyous they
are. Before you have done with the
kind words about your departed
friend, the Joy over the new baby and
finished the shOWman's advertisement,
IA fellow sneaks in To ask you I'D sup
press the story Of the fight that he
was mixed LID i'm. Then, after putting
all the lace and trimmings on the
brides wedding gown, dressing the
groom in the conventional black and
starting them off with cOngratula-
tons and best wishes, you turn again
TO the tear side or life and write,
" ButAthe stately ship moves on to the,
haven under the hill, and, oh, for the
touch Of a vanished hand and tine
sound of a voice that I'D still"
Then comes a Iull, and the old type
writer is content to record the COM
mon place facts, knowing that right
around tn corner and each waiting
his turn stand joy, grief, sorrow,
mirth, sarcasm, wit and laughter.
Small wonder, then, that the news
