THE HEART OF AMERICA.

The heart Of America Is speaking
this week through the Red Cross. Re
ports Thursday evening indicated that
the hundred million dollars asked for
viii be more nearly doubled than other
wise. In appropriating the hundred
million Lincoln county was asked for
five thousand dollars. BY the latest
reports before going TO press the south
side of the county had raised s3.100. 90;
Shoshone s2700. Dietrich 5000 and
Richheld $500.
The work is not nearly yet CON-
pleted and the indications are that
Lincoln county win raise about eight
thousand dollars. Reports from all
over the country all show heavy
oversubscription. all of which will be
pleasant news for the Kaiser to con-
template along with the registration Of
ten million soldiers and a subscription
OF over three billion dollars to the war
fund.

VACATION ON FARMS.

Hundreds Of thousands OF city work
ers who are allowed a vacation this
summer should plan to spend it on a
farm. The shortage of help on our
farms is greater this year than ever
before. due partly to the patriotic ef-
fort of our farmers to plant every
available acre. Two weeks of outdoor
life on a farm will be not only a new
and pleasant experience to those who
have never tried it. but will do wonders
in building up physically for the en-
tire year. 1t is not so much the time
spent in idleness which constitutes a
real vacation as a complete change in
ones everyday work. Farm work is
much lighter than formerly. owing to
machinery. and a large part consists
in riding where a few years ago the
operator walked. While the city man
may not be qualified TO perform prop
erly all kinds of farm work. there is
plenty he can do, and when given the
chance is likely TO surprise his farmer
employer by his readiness to learn and
efficiency shown. Aside from the sat
isfaction of doing something worth
while for our country, the return in
health and strength which outdoor ex-
ercise affords. and the money earned
instead of spent at a resort. there is a
positive asset in this getting together
of the city and the country man. Each
will be surprised to discover what a lot
of valuable experience the other fellow
has, and how much each can learn from
the other to mutual advantage. The
farmer will nd out the city boys are
not all "dudes," and the city lad Will
realize the modern farmer is anything
but "ruber There will be some dis
of course but the major
ity on both sides will make good. Don't
wait until the last minute, but get in
touch with some farmer at once. This
can easily be done through the bureaus
conducted by daily papers in all cities.
You may raise few blisters on your
hands. but you will raise a tremedous
appetite at the same time. and the rich
tan and fresh blood win more than
compensate for few lame joints the
first day or so. Many will know for
the first time the joy contained in an
old oaken bucket, and that new-mown
hay has a fragrance which no amount
Of money can purchase at the perfum-
er's.-H. H. Windsor in the July Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

THE LIBERTY LOAN.

They call it the Liberty Loan. and so
1t is, although not one American in ten
so regards it. The prevalent delusion is
that our liberties are inalienable and
eternal.
No one seems to realize that we have
put our heads in the lions mouth, or to
reckon with the possibility that before
many moons we shall be subscribing
not to a liberty loan. but to a huge
and horrid indemnity. Everywhere
Americans behave as If our part in the
war would somehow take care Of itself
without assistance from anybody in
particular.
Let George do 1t.
George is a large, husky lad, with
muscle aplenty and money. TO burn.
No coalition of foreign powers can
floor George.
Can't it. though?
Russia has slumped.
France confesses to exhaustion.
England cries, "Help,"
It is a toss-up how the war is com
ing out. If it comes out in our favor
it will be because we have buckled to
and exerted ourselves for all there is in
US. No. mere fancy name adorns the
liberty loan. The name it bears sums
up the case with grim literalness. 1t is
sink or swim. 1t is fight to the finish,
with the odds against us. It is pay
either now or later. II later, It is pay
Germany.
In a word. it is bonds or bondage.

TIE CALL oE The GUNS.

1t is conservatively estimated that
the British alone have fired 100000 tons
of ammunition at the enemy on the west
front during the past six weeks. The
immensity of this cannonading may be
better appreciated when one reflects
that the official estimate of the amuni-
ton hurled by both armies at Gettys-
burg only totaled 500 tons. This in
eludes the missiles shot from Lees COM
bined battery of $50 guns on Seminary
Ridge and at Meades center on Gene
terry Ridge. which was universally adj
mitted to be the most terrific lombard
ment of the Civil war
Te comparison shows that the Brit
ish IN this short space of time have
used $50 times as much ammunition as
was fred on both sides in the decisive
battle of the Rebellion. In other words
this amount would have been sufficient
to sustain the heavy eannonading at
Gettysburg without interruption for
period of three years. This is the
character of the conflict now raging in
France and we wonder whether the
American contingent will be supplied
with a compliment of big guns and
ammunition of sufficient proportions to
meet the enemy man to man on even
terms. 1t Is to be hoped, at least that
the War Department is not making the
of figuring on the basis of 1853
instead of 1917 in the matter of provid
ing guns and ammunition for the new
army-Goodwin Weekly.
