MARINE EFFICIENCY

Although young men training to be-
come Soldiers of the Sea" are being
rushed through their courses rapidly,
they retain efficiency throughout, as
is shown by the record for making
and breaking" camp, established by a
company of marine "rookies" at Port
Royal, S. C. The routine calls for
pitching shelter tents, digging en-
trenchments, mounting guard, cook
ing dinner, inspection, the gathering OF
equipment, and preparation for return
They accomplished the required task
in 81 minutes. The previous record
was held by a company of veterans
now serving in Haiti. Their time
was 5515 minutes.

world. They are East and West,
North and South in our own land
and some of them are already on the
war SCARED fields of Europe. This
certainly is a vital relation to the
great World War. This consti-
tutes the greatest, the highest, the
most valuable and the most sacred
offering any community can make.
Day and night women of the coun-
ty are sewing, knitting and working
under the direction of the American
Red Cross that these boys of ours
may be equipped with the things es-
sential to their health and comfort
in camp, at sea or on the battlefield;
with things essential to the saving
of their lives and their restoration
to health when wounded. The Full
ton county chapter in addition to all
this is raising a fund of $1,000 to
purchase that which they cannot
make and to maintain the army of
doctors and nurses required for this
service. This is fine but it is not
enough. There has been subscrib-
ed for the Army Y. M. c. A. work
for our boys in camps in this country
or on the battle lines in Europe
$7,500,00 by the people of this county
and every dollar is needed and needed
NOW. But this is not enough be-
cause it is not all we can do nor all
we ought to do.
This government of which we are
a part must have money to feed,
clothe equip, train, transport and
pay the meager wages of these men
who are to bring this war to a. close
by winning it, and this government of
ours is asking US, the people of a
county whose real and personal
property stood on the tax duplicate
for 1916 at a valuation of $40,000,-
600 to lend it some of our money on
the very best security, non-taxable
and at the rate of per cent inter-
est. On the first issue of Liberty
Loan bonds this country loaned the
government S232O00 The aggre-
gate bank deposits in this county
are S5,108,000 and the county's share
of the three billion dollars the coun-
try needs is $545,600. In Wauseor
the aggregate bank deposits amount
to $1,873,000 and Wauseon's share
of this three billion is S178,000.

TO THE PUBLIC

A statement is due the public Civ
ing reasons why the Fulton County
Soldiers Monument has not been
erected as it was to have been many
months ago. The contract is let to
a bronze Monumental Co. of Bridge
port Conn.,, which is perfectly respon-
sible. They claim that on the ac-
count of the embargo on freight and
strikes they were not able to build it,
and the government listed their plant
and the company is now working for
the United States government. And
they have asked for an extension of
sixty days from the time the war
with Germany closes. Nearly all
of the money that was subscribed is
collected and is in the bank drawing
interest. The names of the soldiers
of 81 to 65 and the Spanish American
and the Soldiers of the war of 1872
who were residents of this county
are in the manufacturers hands to
be put on bronze tablets.

Next week Wauseon and the sur
rounding community is going to par
tlclpate in movement that has
grown to be national in it's scope in
the past few years. Practically all
the business people of the town are
going to participate in this campaign
which means of course that they are
going to pay up their debts as well
as ask others to pay them. Some
folks may get the idea that this is
just an effort on the part of the
business men to get their credit ac-
counts transformed into ready cash
and that the business men are
about the only ones who will derive
any benefit from the movement. but
this is not the whole truth. It's like
this: John Green sells a heifer
or hog to Jim Brown; Brown says
now l havn't the money by me to pay
you just now, John, but | have some
coming to me and I'll pay you when
/! get it. Green knows that Brown
is good for it' "got an 80 acre farm
good land good buildings, all paid
for;" so Green says "alright Jim,
paw me when you can"
The weeks roll into months and
D1O"llo GIdC was coming
hasn't arrived; Green's wife and fam
lily are in need of clothes John him
self needs new pair of shoes and
they are needing things in the house
that they can't very well get along
without, so Green goes to Black and
White and Smith and Jones and the
rest of the merchants in town and
gets what is needed: Now Brown
hasn't paid Green as yet, so Green
asks the town merchants for credit;
they all know that Green is good pay
owns nice 160 acre farm, good farm
er and perfectly reliable so they say
Nthat's all right John pay US wher
you can, how's your wheat looking?'
In the process of time Black and
White and the rest of the merchants
find that they have to replenish their
stocks; they have lots of money or
their books people like Green perfect
ly good but they havn't very much
in the bank. or cash on hand so they
have to buy On credit and as they are
all perfectly good" they get it,
so the same credit system runs or
to wholesaler and manufacturer te
the producer of raw material and the
machinist factory worker and laborel
and because jim Browns debtors
don't pay him so that he can pay Johr
Green and John Green can pay Blacl
and White and the rest of the mer
chants the wheels of business begir
to slow down; the demand for raw
material falls off, factories lay of
lots of their help and there come!
a period of rather hard times tina
affects everybody.
Now just suppose, some fine morn
ing Jim Brown goes over to Johl
Green's and says "well John, here
your money for that heifer the peo
pie that have been owing me hav
come across and I'm around payins
my bills" Then Green says, "Wel
Jim that's good idea 1 believe II
follow your example"
You can imagine the rest! ever,

MOVIE" EXHIBITORS

ARE PATRIOTIC
The United States Civil Service
Commission has received an express
ion of the patriotism of practically
all the exhibitors of motion pictures
in the United States The govern
ment is in need of thousands of type
writer operators mad stenographers of
both sexes for war work in Washing
ton, and through its 5000 local boards
OF examiners In that many cities, the
Commission requested the owners and
managers of motion picture theatres
to allow free of charge an announce
ment on their screens of this need of
the government. The refusals were
so few as to be negligible. Not
more than hundred of the 10000 odd
exhibitors who were approached de-
clined to render to the people the
service asked. Even these can not
be charged with disloyalty; most of
them held decided views as to their
duty to their patrons who pay for
entertainment only. The only criti-
clsm of the government came from
three exhibitors who declined on the
ground that it was proposed to place
tax on motion picture tickets.
One owner asked remuneration in the
sum of 25 cents a week and another
stipulated that he was to be relieved
of any responsibility for damage to
the slides furnished by the govern
ment. The slides cost less than 10
cents apiece Almost without excep-
ton the "movie" men were not only
willing, but were even eager to serve
the government in the manner request
ed. This hearty response from 20
900 business men representative OF
every part of the country has a strik-
ing significance. 1t is interesting
to note in this connection that the
estimated daily attendance ut motion
picture shows in the United States is
ten million. This allows an average
of 500 for each house.

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE

Hillsdale Michigan is dry and this
fact hurts the business of the county
jail in that city; it is absolutely with
out tenant in its cells. jackson is
wet and business is booming in the
county Jail in that city, in fact they
have more business than they can take
care of; the Jail is full land running
over. The commissioners of jackson
county are negotiating with the COM
missioners of Hilsdale county to take
care of their overflow.

OkLiHONii IN MIDST
OF DRIVE FOR LOAN
Hundreds of Patriots Taking Part In
Campaign in Every Section Of State.

Oklahoma Citv. Oct. lS.-ASpeciai.l-
The campaign for the sale OF the sec
ond issue OF the Liberty loan of 1917 is
going full blast in every county In
Oklahoma. with hundreds of patriots
through the Liberty Loan organization
itself. through county councils OF de
fense. through lodges. clubs and
churches. working to place bond in
every home.
Yesterday marked the beginning OF
the last ten days of work, and il is ex
pected that by far the greater part OF
the bonds will be placed during these
hast ten days. Organized campaigns are
to give every man and every woman in
Oklahoma an opportunity to do his or
her part in supporting the boys who are
going 10 the trenches. to substitute the
loan Of money for the lives and suf.
fering OF men.
"Oklahoma citizens must take their
full quota of this issue of bonds" be-
gins the appeal sent out today to citi-
of Defense.
The Liberty loan offers citizens
profitable form of investment. the Sc
curity is the government and the citi-
zenship of the nation itself. And more
than that, ii offers citizens an oppor
tunity to get behind the lads in the
trenches. Failure of America to take
this issue OF bonds would doubtless
mean the prolonging of the war. II
would mean giving comfort TO the en-
emy. II would mean that American
citizens preferred to see more of their
boys killed rather than to invest some
of their money in the bonds of their
country.
This state has been classed in the
minds of many as a Stacker state
Statements made by those elected TO
represent the people have left this i'm
preston. Highly colored stories of the
so-called draft riots were circulated
throughout the east where thousands
believe Oklahoma citizens are with
holding their support from the govern
ment. II Oklahoma takes its share of
Liberty bonds by October 27. news will
prove to the world that this state is
behind the American flag.
I'VE expect the soldier lads to do
their part. 1t would be but right that
we hold them in contempt if, when the
call comes to charge, they should lay
down their guns and retreat.
THE call has come to citizens Of Ok
lahoma to charge The charge is to
be i'm the form of the purchase of Lib
erty bonds. II citizens of this state re-
fuse to obey the command. they place
themselves in the class with those diyi-
sions of Russian soldiers who. rather
