ately $1,623,600, and the county
has been divided as follows with
the district number and the a.

chase:

The big campaign in this
county to sell 81, ,623,600 worth Of
the second Liberty Loan bonds
will start October 18th. Above we
give an outline of the manner in
which st. Clair county has been
districted showing the apportion-
ment for each of the eleven dis
tricts in the county.
Ii is expected that each and
every one of the districts will
make good. In making the assess
ments, equalized valuations have
been taken into consideration. The
Port Huron districts assumed an
additional 100000 above its
quota. This amount was deducted
from other sections where, be-
cause of summer residents or
other reasons they were entitled
to special consideration.

Here are the facts in eonection
with the second Liberty Loan of
So, 000,000,000.
/. It's a loan and not a gift to
the United States government.
2. 1t draws four per cent inter-
est without taxes as long as you
live.
3. You can buy a bond on the
dollar down, dollar week plan
from any bank.
a. It's the best security in the
world. It's like a mortgage on the
whole United States.
5, You can leave your bonds
with your banker in his safety de-
posit vault for safe keeping if
you so desire. It's receipt for the
money you deposit in the treas
ury of the United States.
6. If you need money you can
borrow on it, at a moments notice.
Ask any banker.
z. If the next bond issue is at a
higher rate you can exchange
your four'per cent bond for a
bond in the new issue at a higher
rate.
Uncle Sam wants every citizen
of St. Clair county just as he
wants every citizen of the United
States to buy a Liberty Bond. Un-
less the wage earners and the
farmers and citizens of every class
respond to their country's call, the
second Liberty Loan will be a
failure.
No man in the country is more
vitally interested in the second
Liberty Loan than the farmer. Up
on a victorious peace will depend
the early return Of his boy who
has gone to the front and a sure
market at fair prices for what
the farmer has to sell.
Every community in st. Clair
county has been organized and
the preliminary work has been
done. The county organizations is
as follows:
Chairman-Gus Hill.
President-E. j. Ottaway.
Secretary-Chas. w. Haensel.
Assistant Secretaries-Asa H.

INSURANCE VS. PENSIONS

It has been suggested that the fed eral eovernment go into the insur- ance business for the period of the war and devise some plan for keep ing in force policies already writ ten. For those who have no insur- ance it is suggested that the gov ernment issue a policy for S1,OOO for every soldier. In this state, under the workingmen's compensa- ton act, the sum of $4,0OO is paid to the dependents of an employee killed while in 8 hazardous oocupa- ton. Possibly the proposal to in sure the life of every soldier for S1,OOO is not generous enough. That Is a matter for the authorities to decide.
 In the event that this nation is required to take a larger part in thu world war than is contemplated at present, the insurance fund Woul show soml staggering totals, but when We recall that since the civil war rtis cOuRsry has paid ou t in pensions nearly five billion dollars the problem does not appear too big to tackle.

Editorial Comment on Wilson's Message

Following are some editorial com ments on President Wilson's address to congress:
 From the New York worldl
 President Wilson's war address to congress is more than an expression Of 6 nations patriotism. It is an appeal to every instinct, every impulse every tradition of democracy. The case or the American people can rest upon no higher plane than that upon which President Wilson has placed 1t, and his statement of reasons is no less admir- able than bis statement of means and methods.
 President Wilson has driven straight to the heart of the issue, and congress must respond. There can be neither hesitation nor haling. Every constd' eration of national defense, of national honor, Of free government and free institutions, of world welfare, de- mands that congress follow where the president has led, for in the solemn words uttered by Woodrow Wilson rssts the hope of democracy and the hope of mankind

THE PRESIDENTS WAR SPEECH

President Wilson's war speech was ha,led in Great Britain as a new declaration of democracy. Tn France and Italy is has been pub licIy losted and in France 1t is displayed in the schools so that the school children may have it con tnually before them.
 Through all the tremendous hor- TOT Of the worlds war, the Presi- dents statement that the world must se made safe for democracy, '" stands out in clear definition why the United States must do it's part in the conflict.
 The principles at stake should make every American alive to his duty Victory means the defeat Of autocracy. Defeat means the de structiOn of liberties to nourish which tljs country was founded and in the cultivation of which it has prospered.
 Everyone cannot go to the front but everyone can do his bit. Men and women, boys and girls, should sOberlv consider what service they can render the country. The magic words. q am an American!" should fill them with 3 feryor such as animated the citizens Of historic Rome.
 The ideals announced in the Presj dents message, to maintain which the United States has entered the war, make this war as enobling as any conflict ever engaged in. Con quest is not considered. The strug- gle is for humanity and democracy. Such ends lift it to a plane of standards as enobling as those on which was based the war of the revolution or the war of the rebel lion,

-No Praise Too High" For Wilson.


 The judgments of the moment are treouently of but transitory value Yet reading President Wilson's mes sage to congress at the moment of It's delivery to congress, 1t seems one or the great documents of history, re- echoIng in a new and yet the original spirit the great words of Lincoln with malice to nOne."
 No praise can be too high for the words and the purposes of the presi- dent Never In all the long period. in which he has directed American poll cy has be seemed to come nearer to the ideal of the American people, the Ideal of a president who should lead.
 All over the world there will be Americans who will find In the deci- sion made by the president a cause for new confidence and hope.

WATCH YOUR HABITS

Watch our habits would be pret- ty good motto for most of us. We may say we are creatures of habits. We succeea or fail as we acquire good or bad ones. But we seem to forget that We can acquire good ha- bits as easily as bad ones. Most of us are under the impression that we acquire bad habits much easier than good ones. That isn't so, and those who find it out succeed in life. The habit of looking at both sides oI a story is we'll worth cultiyating. HKetchican Miner.

A New Battle crr For Freedom.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
 In the most momentOus hour of our history since the civil war the nations chosen leader has made the fateful de cision which duty and honor impose, and congress and the people will give him loyal support It is no half heart ed war for which he calls. He rightly sees that having gone 80 far there can be no compromise. America must help win the war, and the more speedily the better. But never was a war messa couched in terms revealing a more earnest and sincere love of peace. The people of the south have learned to see In Abraham Lincoln their true friend. Time will come when the German peO- pie will see that in all the world they have no better friend than Woodrow Wilson.

THE HOME GUARD

The spirit of patriotism, the same spirit that gave us the heroes or '76 and '61, will leap into full be- ing ar the patriotic raIS- to be held Monday night in Elks' hall to form a home guard in skagway.
 Some have tried to maintain that American patriotism has been smotE cred by too great luxury in the past few decades. But they have proved false prophets. The men and Wo- men of today are of just the same Cits' gave the country it's freedom.
 And this Americanism will be manifested Monday night in Elks' hall, citizens of Skagway are ready to do their part and to do it with a singIeuess Of purpose that con- siders only the welfare of the country.
 Organization of a home guard will not necessarily mean that those who jon will be called upon for active service. But they will be prepared in case they are needed.
 Skagway, figuratively, should take it's coat off between this date and Monday night and make the rally a real demonstration of loyal ty. There is no question that this loyalty exists here. It is idle even to affirm it's existence. But let it be displayed by attending the meet ing and helping to form the home guard.
