The kaiser says that no more British
prisoners will be taken. This means
that German food and German soldiers
are getting scarce. He says further
that Germans are to hate the British
as long as there is an Englishman left
to hate. All of this goes to prove that
this kaiser is on mighty poor terms
with his God. No wonder Christian
nations are united in an effort to de-
stroy his power. The kaiser himself
will continue to hate the British until
the devil takes him hence, but let us
hope that after his departure to the
lower regions, the German people will
Danish hatred from their hearts and
becomet he Christian nation that they
ought to be. This edict of the Kaiser
will add nerve to the strong British
heart, for to fall captive to such foe
would be worse than hell.

TO REGISTER WOMEN.

America expects every woman to do
her duty, is the way Mr.. Hoover puts
it.
1--WE ask every woman in the United
States engaged in the personal control
of food to register for actual member
ship in the food administration, thus
entering directly into the national
service" says the food director.
The registration is to be held from
July to Is.
The appeal has in view the con-
servation of food supplies and the
elimination Of waste. The appeal
might have gone further and enlisted
the women Ia tne cause Of food pro-
ductio7 Every woman w,t a back

more than a handful of chickens, or
even a few rows of vegetables, is de-
nying herself a daily source of pleas
ure as the chicks grow or the vege-
tation buds, to say nothing of losing
the added increment to the family
larder.
But conserving food supplies and
eliminating waste Systematically is a
great cause. Food Waste in the Unit
ed States before the war ever came
had assumed the proportions of a ma
tional sin. The elimination of waste
has now become a patriotic duty and
deserves the popularity the movement
will certainly acquire.

KEEP THE DOLLARS MOVING.

Business is activity. Stagnation
means decay. AS there can be no life
in stagnant waters, just so there can
be none in stagnant business.
Get this fact we'll in mind: Bus
mess activity comes not from hoard
ing, but from spending.
What would the world do without
its spendthrifts? They may carry a
virtue to an extreme, but as to the eff
feet on business, better far than the
boarding of the miser.
We are urged to rally to the colors:
we are urged to enter the army of the
burrows; we are urged to consecate
our all upon the altar of our country,
and we are urged to PRACTICE THE
STRICTEST KIND OF ECONOMY.
The advice is conflicting. Our adj
visers should employ a different term
from economy" 1t is right that we
eliminate waste-wanton waste that
brings good to none.
But quit spending? Never! That
way lies business stagnation, want and
ultimate panic.
Imagine a community entirely de-
pendent on the outside world. It has
a combined capital of 100000, which
is sufficient to carry on all its business
But the story of hard times goes out,
purses are closed, and the result is in
evitable.
The world is composed of communi-
ties. In and between these commune
ties the public life blood (gold) must
flow if life be sustained. But stop the
flow Of that life blood and industrial
decay and death is the inevitable re-
suit.
We must earn and keep on earning

And equally as important, We must

The flies hum,-and multiply. A

made for.
Cleanliness is akin to godliness, and
sanitation is a sort of common homes

But unless we are going to mop out

pose of one single, practical, pressing
suggestion NOW:

maxwell CAR CuSArIs
MAY WIN LIBERTY BOND

Maxwell car owners here have an OF
portunity to win Liberty Bond By
competing IN the $4,000 U. S. Liber
ty Bond gasoline economy contest Of
the Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation
to be run all over the United States
and Canada from June 16 to 80 inclu.
sive. There is keen rivalry among
the entrants here, according to Pow.
ell-Maddox Motor Car Co., the loca
Maxwell dealers.
Every Maxwell car owner is urged
to enter this economy contest" the
Powell-Maddox Motor Car Co. said to-
day, "and win Liberty Bond if he can
THE purpose is to show by the great
est demonstration yet that the Max
well will go farther on gallon of gas
oline than any other 5-passenger car
made. The 500 Maxwell drivers who
get the most mileage will win $4,000
Liberty Bonds-a $50 bond each"
The $4,000 prize offer was inspired
by the triumphant economy contest of
May %, when Maxwell dealers in own
ers' cars made wonderful records. The
Maxwell company wanted to give own
ers chance to show what they could
do and, accordingly, set aside $4,000
in Liberty Bonds, $4,000 of the bonds
to go to winning owners, and $25, 1000
of the bonds to be divided between
dealers for their help in making this
undertaking a success.
The contest for the Liberty Bonds
is going to result in some great sport
ing events for our citizens" said the
Powell-Maddox Motor Car Co.
"All owners, who expect to take
part in these events should register
with us. We will provide them with
one of our famous red one gallon tanks
which will be attached to the wind
shield during the runs, as was dne in
the international contest of May %.
THE runs here-as elsewhere in
the country-are to be made over a
drive to be continued if the gasoline
holds out, after the 24-mile journey is
completed.
Contestants may select one of three
routes to be named by us to take their
runs.
Under the rules, each car must car
ry three observers-selected by US,
who will see that all conditions and
rules are complied with and who will
certify to the mileage made.
Women owners may enter the
economy contest and many women Max
well drivers have registered as partic-
ipants.
The keenest rivalry among owners
IS being shown. Each Maxwell owner
knows his car is as good as any other
Maxwell car. Any Maxwell owner in
Haywood county has as good a chance
to win a bond as any owner in any
other city,"
Friends Of the owners, too, will root
for the different cars and there prob
ably will be considerable excitement
when some of the runs are made.
ANY owner who wishes his car en-
tered, but who is unable to drive it
himself, may select a member of his

PROMPT ACTION IMPERATIVE.

The recent indictment of the onion
combine in Boston, and later of the
egg trust in Chicago, should pry open
the eyes of our national law makers
to the very patent fact that there is
something rotten in the United States
very rotten.
For months now the people of the
country have insisted that the present
extortionate prices of commodities are
traceable to the price manipulators;
that while there may be scarcity in
certain lines that scarcity is not by any
means acute enough to warrant the al
most prohibitive price of the articles
in question.
1t was no surprise to the public to
learn that the Chicago egg gang work.
ed their scheme through fictitious
sales. As matter of fact, that is the
established method of these gentry.
Their whole nefarious business is
pure gamble and squeeze, always at
the expense of the consumer.
But with the exception of the prose-
cutions under the Sherman law it
seems that we are long time in Sc
curing any relief. These prosecutions
will not be a drop in the bucket, from
the fact that they are likely to be
long drawn out and tedious, and to
amount to very little in he end.
The people of this country have not
forgotten the farcical prosecution of
the Standard Oil Company, and how
very little was accomplished.
In the present emergency there is
but one remedy, and that is in gov
eminent intervention to regulate price,
and from present indications we fear
another crop will be harvested and
bagged by the specializing hogs before
the law steps in and introduces rule

congress and the Vaccinations of the
hirelings of the SPECTATORS.
One thing is certain, we must have
maximum and a minimum price es-

WANT PRICE ,oN TOLL BRIDGE.
County Commissioners Ask That Fig
ures Be Obtained From Stock
holders--NIOnrOc Wants Two
Bridges Freed

The county commissioners were in |.
session one day last week with the /
Vermont bridge commission at Wells |
River and some time was spent in /
discussing the subject of freeing the
several toll bridges for which petit
tons have been entered, including the
Littleton-Waterfor bridge, says the
Littleton Courier. The Vermont COM /
missioners asked that the county COM !
missiOnerS obtain such information as |
they could as to the probable cost Of
the bridges which the people want
freed and as soon as they are able to
get such information they VIII make a
proposition to the Grafton county rep
resentatives as to the apportionment
of the cost. County Commissioner
George II. Turner Of Bethlehem in
whose section all of the affected
bridges are located, has advised { the
committee appointed for the purpose
by the Board of Trade of Littleton as
to the outcome of the conference and
in consequence, NE. II. Richardson,
chairman of that committee, has TAX
! en- the matter up with some of the
! local stockholders, to see what was
| likely to be their price for the stock.
| One or two of them have suggested
price of $3.50 share and to get at the
general sentiment of the stockholders
/ the committee will cause circular let
tiers to be sent to them all to see if
they will agree to SELL for that price,
and if not, at just what price they will
sell their holdings.
There are two ways of freeing the
bridges, one by condemnation and
the other by purchase, but it is all
| ways regarded as advantageous to
buy if it can be done at a reasonable
figure, and it is hoped that in thus
case q price can be obtained from the
owners which will make it possible to
buy the bridge. 1t has been suggest
ed that possibly some of the Little
ton holders of the stock who will be
benefited by the freeing of the bridge
may be willing to accept a price some
what under that OF others who live
at a distance and really have small
interest in the matter beyond the an
nual dividend.
The people of Monroe have asked
for the freeing of the two bridges in
that town across the Connecticut, and
. the same line of procedure will noe
followed there as is taken for the
Waterford bridge. 1t is hoped thai
all of the structures may be freed be-
: fore the automobile season is open in
: the summer time.
