OLD LIBERTY BELL
PEALED "LIBERTY BNODS."

On last Thursday, Flag Day, June
IA, 1917, Mayor Smith Of Philadelphia,
struck with a golden hammer, Ameri-
cas- most sacred relic, the Old Liberty
Bell to call last minute subscribers to-
the service of the nation in the in
vestment of Liberty Bonds. AS this
faint peal from the Old Liberty Bell
in independence Hall was sounded,
it reverberated with the aid of tele-
phone fro mthe Atlantic to the Pa
cifc. Just at noon was the tap given,
and with understanding of the sound
was taken up by churches, schools
and factories from ocean to ocean.
Did you not hear the whistles of
Cordele when they caught up the
sound as it was being waited through
out Dixie to the hearts of her people,
calling upon them to help over sub
scribe the governments war loan.

ovERALLs FOR WOMEN.

Within few months the bifurcated
working GARNET for women has pass
ed from a joke to a reality, says the
Youngstown Telegraph. Overalls for
women are not longer a curiosity in
Europe, while in America they are
emerging from the freakish stage.
Overalls as a feminine garb have
not yet invaded the kitchen and the
workshop, except, perhaps in the few
American cities that advance with
the greatest rapidity. The feminine
omvement to the workings has in
fact but begun in this country, but
it is a movement that must grow, if
hundreds of thousands of men are to
be taken away from their accustomed
labor at time when industry in the
country is being strained to it's maxi
mum. With that movement must come
the adoption of more serViceable
working garb for women and its pro
gress to the kitchen will be natural
sequence Exchange.

THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.

The Now
The charm of a love is its telling, the
telling that goes with the giving;
The charm of deed is its doing; the
charm of a life is it's living;
The soul of a thing is the thought;
the charm of an act is the actor.
The soul of the fact is its truth, and
the now is its principal factor.
What use to-. mankind is a purpose
that never shone forth in doer;
What use has the world for a lover
that never had winner nor wooer?
The motives, the hopes, and the
schemes that have ended in idle
conclusions
Are buried along with the failures
that come in life of illusions.

USE FOR VACANT LOT

IL is a world of lean years, says the New York Times. Its food lies in this years crop. The reserves will be exhausted at the end of the crop year. The outlook is not too roseate. The English wheat crop is reported backward, the Dutch small. French wheat will yield less than usual. Ar gentina will have little wheat or corn to export. The Austrian wheat crop is estimated at nearly 50,000,000 bush els less than last years. Our big win ter wheat states have not had mois- ture enough. Early vegetables in the southern states have been nipped by frost. So the shortage goes.
 Food prices are high already, This careless. easy going America must re- member the ant and prepare for next winter. One thing nearly all of us outside the cities, and many urbans, can do. That is to raise all we can oi the common vegetables, so easy to raise thriving almost anywhere, SC large a part of our food. We can't import them.

LANDS OF CHICAGO ST0PS RIOT
 AT PATRIOTIC MEET
Bushes oft Platform into Audi once to Save Heckler From
 The Mob.

Under date of April IS, the Chicago Herald reports the proceedings of a patriotic meeting held at Galesburg. H.. where the principal speaker was the illustrious Judge Landis. The ac- count of that meeting follows:
 Federal Judge Landis. interrupted in a patriotic address at the Sixth Reg fment Armory tonight, stopped a near riot when half a hundred persons in he audience threatened violence to he man who questioned his remarks.
 The white-haired jurist was telling about Belgium and what German mil itarism accomplished there. He painted a picture of ravaged women, owns destroyed. food burned, whole families murdered. Well, that's war: said a man in the center Of the hall.
 War" shouted the judge. you just come up here and let your neighbors look at you"
 Throw him out" yelled some. Kick him out" yelled others.
 As men started for the would-be heckler. Judge Landis stepped from the platform down into the audience.
 Just a moment!" he shouted. This . is my meeting. Let that man stay here. And if anyone needs to stay, he does. And. furthermore, I never had any trouble getting along with battle scared veteran under the influence ] Of stale beer"
 Cheers broke the tension and the ! judge resumed his talk. He addressed 5000 persons-the largest crowd in the history Of Galesburg-and 5000 persons more were turned away.
 The demonstration at the close con tinued ten minutes. It was the towns answer to his question: Are you ir favor Of oonscription
 The volunteer system, said Judge Landis. puts the best men in the ! trenches and leaves the slackers be hind. Remember. we are fighting the mightest military power in the world country that left a record in Belg ium that broke all the records of in fanny in history You can't fight this war with a check beck and don't ge the impression that the French ant English have this foe beaten"
 For the men marrying to avoid mil ttary service, he expressed infinite dis gust. He said he had visited the Coun -y Building in Chicago today and hat watched the line-"So long it eyel

THE HARDEST THING TO DO

The hardest task imposed on men in this wide world is to please women of fashion. Try as hard as you like, you cant please them. It is impossible. For instance: A woman will spend two or three hours putting on the scenery she is to wear on her afternoon street parade; and nat urally will come out very charming and every thing. But if a man looks at her for half an hour or so, she will get mad and call him impudent and all that, and maybe have him arrested And if he doesn't look at her, she'll call him snub They crave admiration-seemngy yet if you ad- mire them they get huffy. No sir, you can't please them, they get mad if you don't, they get mad if you do, and there you are. What in the name of Sam Hill can fellow do?

HIS, AND OUR OPINION

Over one hundred sackers were arrested re- gently at Freeport, Illinois, and taken to Chicago for trial. They were charged with attempting to evade military duty. The jury having returned verdict of guilty as charged Judge Landis in pas sing sentence, characterized their act the ruse of bunch of whining, belly aching puppies
 Some day the peaceful, lawabding citizens of the country will get tired-real tired you un- derstand-of hearing the agitators whining and grumbling, and they'l petition the government to partittion off a few thousand acres of land some where, drive them on and let them govern them seves Of course precious little government there would be, som emay say; but what of 1t The awabiding citizens will not mind that since all they care is to get rid of them. With the agi tators it is trouble, trouble, trouble. Cogtating over this matter, it makes one almost feel as tho this life was not worth the struggle that we have to make in order to have peace. It is peace with hell in spots Really, if the hell they talk about in the hereafter is as hard as the hell we get or earth it must be hell for fair.

 Wherever these truths have penetrated in Germany there is certain to be questioning of the course of the mitaristc government. Why did America come in? Why South American countries preparing to break eff relations? Why Germany alone with all the great nations world in against her and with hardly a friendly neutral left.
