INA TRUNK

Brentwood, Wis-The fact that Mrs.
W. E. Dehler, Hayward, near Birch
wood, desired to rake from the barn
at the rear of the Dehler property, is
responsible for the saving of the life
Of her young son. After he being
dressed for the day, the boy seeking
adventures, found an old trunk in the
back yard and crawled into it, pulling
the cover down. The cover locked au-
tomatically, and the boy found himself
a prisoner. His yelIs for help were
muff1ed by the trunk. Finally the boy
became unconscious. He was rescu-
ed when his mother detected groans
from the trunk. Considerable time
was spent before the lad was revived.

THE EVILS OF CONSTIPATION

Constipation is one Of the main rea-

symptoms try DR.. Kings New Life

mild, non-griping in action, add tone
to your system and clear the complex

FIVE BUSINESS
PLACES On
THURSDAY EYE
From Marshfield Herald

From Marshfeld Herald
Yesterday morning when five local
concerns opened their places for bust
ness there was plenty Of evidence that
during the night previous they had
been visited by thieves who helped
themselves to anything of valuable
kind. The places entered were the
Palm Garden, City Meat Market, Dec
kert Meat Market, Lavalie's barber
shop and Weber Brothers grocery
store. In each place, with the ex-
ception of the City Meat Market, the
cash till was emptied of its contents,
the Palm Garden being the heaviest
losers, perhaps $40. Weber Bros. lost
$3.50. Entrance was effected by saw
ing a hole thru the door and pushing
back the bolt or lock.

The banks must not be obliged
to buy and hold these bonds.
The people must buy them un-
less the peoples interest is to
suffer.
The banks have subscribed lib
orally, but the funds of the
banks, are, for the most part,
needed to support industry and
agriculture. Our factories, our
merchants, our farmers borrow
largely from the banks and these
loans must go on if business is
to go on, if food is to be pro-
duced.
A war is not being waged sue
cessfully if armies in the field
are winning great victories while
the people at home, for whom
they are fighting, are suffering
dire financial depression, with
business at a standstill, factories
closed, men everywhere out of
work, the rich finding food hard
to get, even at the highest prices,
and the poor actually starving.
And America can and must wage
a successful war.
Success is generally built on
accurate information, and we
feel that if you are informed of
the need you will meet the need,
surely, quickly and eagerly.

How 1t PAYS

Now let's look on the other
side Of the picture. When this
issue is all subscribed by the peo-
pie you will find that business is
increasing markedly. And bust
ness is exceptionally good now.
But on top of present good bust
ness there will be two billion dol
lars ($2,00O,OOO,OOO) a stagger-
ing sum, spent in few months
for every conceivable kind of
product. Metal of all kinds, fab
RIGS of all kinds, food stuffs of
all kinds, workmanship, labor of
all kinds, will be called on to fill
the needs Of our government and
foreign governments buying in
this market. The entire nation
will be called on to produce as
never before. The workers of
the Nation will be buying freely
of all necessary articles of merit.
Right here in our city the de-
mand will be felt and those
things we produce be consumed
as never before. The money we
have put into Liberty Bonds will
be coming back to us in a great
volume ON TOP of the present
prosperity, the present high tide
of good business which we en-
joy.

The reason why we are Liberty loan

| The reason why we are Liberty loan
Islackers is simply because we have
mot the money to invest in bonds, al
though We Will this year, sell thirty
million dollars s-rJh or products.
Who gets the money?
One Of the chief reasons why we
do not save enough out of our farm
incomes, our professional incomes or
our wages is that we in Imperial Val
ley, great food producing district,
pay more for our food than any other
section III California. We have not
the organization to bring the producer
and consumer together right here at
home
There is no question but that a
half-million dollars per year at least
IS wasted in Imperial Valley in use
less transportation charges and mid
dleman's profits.
We make butter here, and are
charged more for it at the stores than
Los Angeles people pay. We slaugh-
ter our own beef, and pay as much
fer 1t as beef shipped from here TO
Kansas City, dressed and shipped back
to the valley. For cooking. we use
cottonseed oil products at a price in
excess Of the Los Angeles price. This
cottonsecd oil is produced here.
shipped to Los Angeles and shipped
lack to us, adding railroad charges
and three profits. The same happens
to wheat, barley, vegetables and fruits
in the valley.
