The Liberty Loan

The Liberty Loan campaign Is wide
open in Latah county today.
In Moscow the subscriptions to date
total $4,000 at the three banks. No
committees have yet reported.
Some of the big items are John Ran.
dali, $4,000; B. 7. Byrns, $1,000; Geo.
Creighton, $1,000; DR.. j. N. Clarke,
$1,000. Mark P. Miller has subscribed
for $4,000. OF this amount $1,000 Is
in Moscow, $4,000 in Genesee and $4,000
in Colfax.
Genesee still leads the county with
a total today Of $4,000.
N. Williamson invests the entire re-
ceipts from his Saturday stock sale.
This is expected to run over $4,000.
Have you asked yourself the ques-
tion-why should I subscribe for a
bond? Have you done the usual thing
in the case of affairs financial-have
you said, Let the men with money
invest in the bonds?"
If SO, you are not doing your share,

"A big loan will shorten the war, will
help to save life, and will help to
save civilization
Every man, woman and child who
enjoys the blessings of this common
wealth should seriously realize that
he is unit of the whole. If we do
not contribute some portion at once
of the prosperity which our country
has made possible for us, we are not
doing our share to assist our allies.
and we may suffer a defeat which
will impose upon this country such a
conqueror's indemnity as will lose our
hardwon freedom for generations. Do
not forget that France paid Germany
an indemnity after 1871 of about ST. |
900 100000, and only a short time |
before the present war fully liquidated |
this indemnity loan to their people. |
1t is cheaper by far to win than to
U6 ucltdIcu.
There are over 100,000,000 men,
women and children in this country,
Of whom it is estimated that there are
more than 4O,0OO,OOO persons engaged
in gainful occupations.
1t is vitally necessary for each of
,hese 100000 persons to realize the
LANCER and the opportunity and to sub
scribe portion of his possessions to
his second Liberty Loan of 1917.
During the war with Spain the Uni
ed States government sold S200,000,-
100 worth of bonds at 100 cents on the
Iollar, which were oversubscribed
even times, and were quoted immed-
ately at a premium. Two years after
he war the price of 500 bonds went
0 Sill, thus bringing a profit to the /
older of II per cent besides the reg
lar interest.
Liberty Loan of 1917, per cent
onds, can be obtained in denomina-
ions of $50, s1OO, $500, and $1,000 and
p, and by arrangement with the
anks can be paid for by monthly pay
lents running full year.

Unquestionably there are
upon thousands of men, both
volunteers and draftees who have been
re iected because of physical disabilities
that might readily be eradicated with
proper treatment by skilled physicians,
aided by healthy living in good en-
vironment. And as we go on raising
an ever increasing army, more and more
eases of Just this type are going to come
to light. We cannot afford to pass up
the opportunity of retaining such men
as these for service. We need every
man that we can get to achieve the vic
tory that must eventually be ours. But
aside from that, any such reclamation
as that planned in the Pomerene Bill
would be the best thing that could ever
happen to those men who would, by the
operation Of the measure, be brought
back to the fullness of their health.

FLOUR
In Times of Stress

These are certainly times Of stress in
the flour business. The mills are con
forming rigidly 70 the government regu-
lations and with the demand for -four
far in excess of the possible supply, ex-
treme caution in making sales is neces-
sary. We are doing everything that is
humanity possible 70 favor all of our old
customers, and as nearly as we can, are
filling their orders at least 20 the extent
of their past average requirements.
Current reports indicate that more lib
eral wheat receipts may be looked for
before long. SO far there has not been
enough wheat coming in TO enable mills
20 nun anywhere near full capacity -
something which every mill in the coun-
try ought 20 be doing now. Were we
dependent on daily receipts, our Com
pany could not run its mills as close to
capacity as IL has been running. them.
Long before the government fixed the
price Of wheat we foresaw the present
situation and accumulated little
wheat in our elevators at prices then
prevailing so as we might be in a better
position 70 render adequate service To
our good friends when the rush came.
Capacity cars and double loads are the
order Of the day. Only in this way car
the railroads meet the enormous de
mands made upon them.

Lemons Written and
Beautify the Skin!
Make Cheap Lotion

The juice of two fresh lemons
strained into q bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white makes whole
quarter pint of the most remarkable
lemon skin beautifer at about the cost
one must pay for small jar of the
ordinary cold creams. Care should be
taken to strain the lemon juice through
a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that
lemon juice is used to bleach and re-
move such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan and is the ideal skin
softener, smoothener and beautifer.
Just try it! Make up a quarter pint
of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion
and massage it daily into the face,
reck, arms and hands. 1t should natur-
ally help to whiten, soften, freshen, and
bring out the hidden roses and beauty
of any skin. 1t is wonderful for rough,
red hands.
Your druggist will sell three ounces
of orchard white at little cost, and any
grocer will supply the lemons.-Adv.
