WHY YOU SHOULD BUY
LIBERTY BONDS.
BY Leslie NJ. shaw.

In the eighteenth century our forefa-
theirs, with force and sacrifice, established
this nation. In the nineteenth century
our fathers, also with force and sacrifice,
preserved tho integrity of the Union and
made 1t as never before ''one and insep-
arabic" Now, in the twentieth cenlu.y, II
has become our privilege we'll as duty.
but not without force and sacrifice. to
clinch the rivets of empire. and. with
an enduring peace wrung from the last
remaining nation possessing greed Of con-
quest. perpetuate this blessed land intact
until time shall be no more
None Of US were here to participate in
the first contest. We were either not here
or too young to take part in the second !:
but we are here and privileged to assist
in this, In my judgment. more important
and vital than either of it's predecessors.
Far better would it have been to have
remained a dependency of England with
a government like Canada than, while
nominaliy a nation. to be, in fact. and
for all time. a vassal OF Germany. Far
preferable also would 1t he to have two
independent and self-respected republics
within the territory now embraced in
one than to be tributary to Germany
Should this contest be lost there will
remain nothing under our flag for which
to live. Relatively few can take part in
supplying the necessary force, but all
can make sacrifice to supply the equally
essential sinews.

HALF PEOPLE.

1t was Jacob RiIs. 1 think, who said he
could not endure half people,"
Neither can l. Probably because I'm
kind o. halfish myself We always hate
more heartily in others our own defects.
l envy the downrighters and whole hog
gers. myself being somewhat cursed with
the plague of thought
But there are different qualities and
tempers of halfness
knowledge, for instance, is never
whole. We know nothing absolutely
Particularly what to do. Most OF the
things we decide on we choose rather
as a good gamble than a sure thing.
Life is not 'cinch.' It Is a pre-
ponderance Of probabilities.
When young lady is asked by a young
man to marry she usually doesn't know
what to say. But she has to saw some
thing. She has to take a chance. And
whether she answers yes or no there will
probably be moments when she wishes
she hadn't

shadow Of a doubt fit across your sky, no
mote Of questioning in your assent, to be
able to sing:
Baptist, Baptist, bred and born,
Baptist till die.
And when I'm dead there's a Baptist
gone,
And 1 eat q Baptist pie
But it comes awkward when you know
so many nice Methodist people, or want
to marry a Roman Catholic girl, or meet

hesitant Hamlets who are torn continu-
ally between duties.
Even in your feelings you are not al
ways cock-sure. There are lot OF peo-
pie you don't quite know whether yor
like or not. Many a faithful wife otter
wants to beat her husband. and / have
heard that in some circles wives do.
In fact, most pronounced characters
keep us guessing. Sometimes we adore
them. And then again sometimes we fee
they ought to be thrashed.
We all know we ought to do right: but
it's often pretty hard to tell what Is right
Much as we wish life were laid out
like checker board. it isn't. It's more
like a Chinese puzzle.
When Huxley lectured over here he
began his remarks by saying: "A mar
knows what he knows'-which he rem
dered "a man gnaws what he gnaws. "
But there's a lot more certainty about
what one gnaws than about what he
knows.

James Buchanan, of which it was said
that he would state nothing unqualifiediy

HIS SON GOING TO WAR.
A. F. Dinsmore, Veteran of 1876
Happy Over the News,

Blood is telling in the appointment
Of officers for the National Army
Many a man who gets a commission
these days got his inspiration for mill
tary service through hearing his ia
ther tell of the days of the civil war
and hearing him express qualification
at having been able to serve the coun-
try.
There probably is no happier man in
Washington today than a. F. Dins-
more. craftsman in the Interior De-
partment. who fought in the civil war
and who has the qualification of see
ing his son first win distinction in civil
life and then see him picked for i'm
portant military service.
Robert r. Dinsmore was. born in
Washington and raised here. He was
first lieutenant Of the Eastern High
School Cadets when they won the flag
in competitive drill.
After graduating from Michigan
State University he settled in Ohio
and became manager of the city cleo
trical plant at Lorain, Ohio.
He has now been commissioned as
first lieutenant of the Engineer Corps
and ordered to Fort Leavenworth. Kan.

sort, contracted by infection from the
cows they milked.
Aware of this fact. and perceiving also
of the milkmaids and the pock- marked
faces OF other people. Jenner asked him
self:
"Can it be that the mild cowpox pro-
vdes immunity against the dreaded
smallpox"
Experiment left no doubt that this
question should be answered in the af-
firmative. Forthwith vaccination came
into being.
Thus, because on4 man used his eyes.
the world was at last relieved from an
intolerable burden of physical and men
tai suffering
Every beneficent discovery, every ad-
vance in practical knowledge. Has SIM
ilarly resulted from efficient use of the
eyes. from intelligent observation:
And the world has not yet learned
everything. There are innumerable prob
lens to be solved, innumerable discov-
cries to be made.
If all men used their eyes efficiently,
| these problems would quickly be solved
these discoveries soon made. The diff
ficulty is that most men do not use their
! eyes Us eyes We're meant to be used
The situation is much as it was in
JennerS time
Thousands OF physicians before Jen-
ner must have seen that milklnaids were
exceptionally free from smallpox. They
must also have seen that these same
| milkmaids We're exceptionally liable to
cowpox.
But no physician before Jenner saw a
possible relationship between the mild
cowpoX and immunity against smallpox.
All around us-.n the home, the Of
flee. the store, the factory. the street
are other useful facts to be observed The
men who observe them are the men who
achleve fame and success.
Think Of those personally known to
you as having risen in the world from
numbie positions
This man rose because he saw a pos
slnle relationship between Il clean store
ard an increase in patronage. That man.
because he saw hitherto unnoticed but
extensive waste in the manufacture OF
some article.

Two hundred years ago smallpox was
among the worlds worst scourges. One
tenth of all deaths are said to have been
caused by 1t.
The physicians Of that time could do
nothing to check Its ravages. No means
of preventing its occurrence was known;
no sure method Of treatment when II
occurred.
This was the situation until one OBJ
servant man. Edward Jenner. noticed
that certain class of people appeared
to be immune against smallpox.
While the faces of royalty were pitted
and distieured by its destructive action.
humble milkmaids invariably possessed
smooth skins and rosy coshpiexlons

he is to get all those sweet: brown, little
nuts without the trouble Of hunting for
them one by one. What Is fair for one is
fair for another. think those nuts Will
taste quite as good to me as they possibly
could to him. I'll wait a bit and see
what happens here. and then
Sammy didn't finish that. but he chuck

see that he found his thoughts very
pleasant. Meanwhile he kept hidden and
watched and waited He felt sure that
sooner or later Happy Jack Squirrel
would find out what was going on and
when he did there was bound to be
lively times about there. He wanted to
be there. You know Sammy Jay is very

enough. his patience was rewarded.
