Every cent of the proceeds Of the
Liberty Loan bond issue is to be
spent with the American people. 1t
will be paid to the farmers for food
and other products of their farms,
for clothing. for leather; it will be
paid to the manufacturers of this
country for manufactured products
not only in the way of munitions and
armament, but of all manufactured
products that soldiers and armies
use. That portion of the loan which
Is loaned the Allies will be so spent
and that part reserved for the Amer
lean government will be so spent.
In subscribing for the Liberty Loan
the American people are lending to
their best customer and enabling him
to purchase more literally from
them.

WHAT ELECTRICITY HAS DONE
Commonplace Happenings of the Day
More Marvellous Than Tales of
ARABIAN Nights"

Aladdin rubbed his lamp, but the
modern man touches button. Thanks
to electricity, the commonplace hap
penings of every day are more mar
velous than anything the hero of the
arabian Nights" ever did.
Electricity carries our messages,
turns the wheels of industry, and as
well, turns night into day. It has rev.
olutionized farming and emancipated
woman from household slavery.
1t has been the keystone of modern
medical experimentation and research.
With it's aid the pain and suffering of
mankind have been relieved.
In the pursuits of peace it is mans
ally, but when the evil genius of war
appears it becomes brother to Mars.
Without it no airplane flies and no
automobile runs. On land it Is su-
prelne, and on the high seas it's mys-
terious power lends eyes and ears to
the mariner in the blackest night. 1t
makes the world only neighborhOod.
Stop the flow of this mysterious
fluid and you plunge cities into dark
ness, check transportation, but an en-
barge on commerce and set everything
back century into the days of the
stagecoach and the packet boat.
Light heat and power are trinity
that constitute the monarch of force.
Each by itself is wonderful gift Of
God to man, but electricity, combining
the three, is the servant Of humanity
in thousand ways. Research,
though extensive, is still in it's in
fancy.
Our greatest scientists, skilled in the
mysteries of this awe-inspiring phe-
nomenon, predict that coming genera
tions will witness electrical marvels
that have not yet entered the dreams
of mankind.
Terrible in it's unfettered power, cleo
tricity, when subjected to the will of
man, becomes miracle-worker for all
humanity.-Leslies.

An Apple a Day.

IAN apple a day keeps the doctor
away" is the old saying so often
proved true, Now, the best way to
provide these apples is to place them
in brown wooden bowl or basket,
where each member of the family can
help himself or herself. One of the
new mahogany fruit bowls piled high
with red-cheeked apples is an orna-
ment to any living room table or buff
fet. To go with the apples there is
now to be had a silver corer and
parer with wooden handle. This,
though sterling, is as sharp as any ap-
pie corer In the kitchen, and much
more slightly.

NEW LAWS IN EFFECT.

Sixty-three new laws passed by the
last Arizona legislature which ad-
journed on March 8, went into ef-
feet Thursday for the first time.
Thirty more bills, making a total Of
ninety-three, were passed by the last
legislature, but twelve of these car
ried an emergency clause and be-
came operative Immediately upon be-
ing signed by Governor Campbell,
fifteen became laws without the
signature of the governor, not having
been vetoed in the prescribed time,
and three bills, the anti-gambling
bill, red light abatement bill and
minimum wage bill, will be before
the people for their approval or dis
approval at a special election, suffi-
cient names having been filed in
petitions to invoke the referendum.
All parts of the state are af-
fected by the laws in effect at this
time. A majority of the new laws
are of only sectional interest, but
there are several of state wide in
terest.
Among those Of most general in
terest are the bill for compulsory
military training in schools against
which 2,400 names were filed in an
effort to invoke the referendum, the
bill creating county highway COM
mission, bill creating commission
for the management and control Of
state institutions to take the place
of the board of control, new di-
vorce law prohibiting the remarriage
Of either party within one year from
the date of divorce.
Another bill now law, and which
Is Of much interest to every person
in the state. is the one establishing
local boards of child welfare and for
relief to widows. This is known as
the widows pension bill"

It were better that this great ma
tion of ours perish from the face Of
the earth than to have it lose its
honor, it's manhood, o; its self
respect. Yet every community has
its quota of socialist;c agitators who
would rather see the country 60 to
the eternal bow vows than have it
defend those principles so dear to
the heart OF every true American.

Every American is either for his
country heart and soul or he Is
against it-a traitor. There is no
neutral ground. The lines are go
ing to be drawn tighter and tighter,
and the loud mouthed agitator had
better keep his clap-trap closed from
now on or suffer the penalty usually

America is in the war and only
one outcome can be considered pos
sible by Americans. That is victory.
To achieve victory the country must
furnish the sinews of war. With vic
tory will come peace and therefore
each purchaser of Liberty Loan

MAKING GARMENTS
DURING LENT
Students Invite Townspeople
10 Cooperate In Relief
Work

An opportunity is afforded those
townspeople who wish to contri-
butte to the Belgian Relief to
make their contributions worth
while by cooperating with the stu
dents of the Women's College, who
are preparing a box to be sent
through the Delaware Committee
about Easter. Following an in
spring chapel talk given few
weeks ago by Miss Powell the girls
volunteered for special service
during Lent. MANY of us can give
little in money, but great deal
in time" Miss Powell said. And
acting upon the suggestion the
girls are knitting and sewing in
dustriously. They meet for group
work every Friday evening.
Townspeople are invited by the
Home Economics Department. to
cooperate in the work. Knitted
garments, according to instruc-
tions that will be forwarded upon
request, will be gladly received,
and the money contributions of
those busy folk who find time at a
premium will be converted into the
finished garments by the girls
themselves. Funds are especially
needed to purchase material for
the work
Only this week David T. Marvel,
chairman of the Delaware Commits
sion, has sent out the following re-
quest:
The Delaware Commission earn
estly requests our citizens to ser
iOusly consider the situation and
the needs and to contribute as they
may consider it their duty to the
end that the lives of the women
and children of Belgium and
Northern France may be saved.
1t is not a matter of charity but
of humanity. Inhabitants Of those
countries cannot help themselves,
it is up to their fellow men to help
them.
A box for the American Red
Cross is also being prepared by
the group of students at the col
lege. A rolling machine has been
secured, and this box will be filled
with bandages.

day in Newark inspecting the ar
mory and equipment of Company

ing themselves for inspection. The
Company received the highest
grading in it's history. and also the
officers stated, the highest grade
they had ever, after years of in
spection duty, given militia COM
pany. Thirty-eight Of the fifty
nine men in the Company reported
on Monday, the remaining twenty
one being so widely scattered as to
make their coming impracticable.
Of the thirty-eight men present,
only fifteen are from Newark, a
condition that would be a great
handicap should President Wilson
be forced to issue the call, which
officers anticipate daily. Fifteen.
as the quota from Newark, is a
proportion far too small, when one
considers the size and towns pros

up to her past history with such a
representation in case of a call to
the colors.
