BACK THE BOYS WITH BONDS.

People are engaged Tn a great many activities from one end of the coun- try to the other in behalf of the na- tion's welfare and in contributing to the needs of the soldiers, who have either gone across to France or are in training in this country prepara- tory to going oyer.
 Steps are being taken to see that they are physically fit. that they are given the proper equipment that they are properly housed at the training camps, that they are assigned to the branches Of the army where they cal render the best service. that they are given efficient and thorough training that they are provided with reading matter, that they are furnished sweat CTS, helmets, scarfs and wristlets, to say nothing of other ways in which their needs are being taken care of in order to let them know that the folks back at home are interested in their mission and the sacrifice which they are making for their country
 All of this is necessary and highly commentsable- They have a right to expect it and there cannot be any too much attention given to such de- tails. But it is to be remembered that the government must stand the expense of conducting the war, and the government represents the people. Isn't 1t therefore important that while we are manifesting cur interest in the soldiers and sailors that we should also make plain to them that we are giving them our enthusiastic support by providing the means for the sue cessfuf carrying of the war to victorious conclusion? This, we not only can but should do through sub scripticns to the Liberty loan. Those G -l.A fully cognizant of what the success of that means to them. We can ma- terially aid them in striking a blow at the kaiser by opening our pocket books. and everyone should be anxious to do it.

ON THE WESTERN FRONT.

There are those who. in discussing the war situation. have claimed that the fighting on the western front is bound to be a deadlock. This would of course be what a lot of people would like to see, and this is espsc- ially true of Germany fer it would give that country an extra lever In connection with peace terms. But General Pershing does not look al the situation in any such light. On the contrary he takes exception to such an opinion and declares that America has resources in men and material once they are prepared, to add weight to the allies, which must force military decision against Ger many"
 General Pershing is not one who is inclined to talk just for the sake of talking. He is in position to weigh the situation and as the result of the study which he has made he says Germany can he defeated.
 But even without the American as- sistance to which he refers being brought into play the allies are dem onstrating the fact that it is not go- ing to be a deadlock. Germ any is putting forth it's best efforts. It is fighting as it never fought before, and yet in spite of the methods which it is using and the lives which 1t is sacrificing it is being steadily pushed back Whenever Field Marshal Haig so orders the British are going ahead for large gains of territory, men and equipment Germany never had a less firm grip upon the western front than it has today and the British of fensive has not stopped. With the American aid called into play as it will be before long the overpowering of Germany is as certain as anything can be.

CANNING
Green Tomato Pickle and Pickled Onions

Green Tomato Pickle and Pickled
 The tomato has taken first place among the vegetables, because it very satisfactorily supplies, in winter, the place of green or succulent vege- tables, then so expensive says to days bulletin of the National Elmer gency Food Garden Commission. CO., operating with this paper in helping the housewives to fill their cellars with canned goods for winter use.
 Whole canned tomatoes make a combination with lettuce and mayon- naise. Combinations of tomatoes, onions, peppers, cabbage and spices are endless in number and they pro- vide cheap and delightful variations to monotonous/ winter menus.
 Green tomato pickel is one of these delightful dishes. To make it, take four quarts of green tomatoes, four small onions and four green peppers. Slice the tomatoes and onions thin. Sprinkle over them one-half cup of salt and leave overnight in crock o7' enameled vessel. The next morning drain off the brine. Intos a separate vessel put one quart of vinegar, one level teaspoonful each of black pep per, mustard seed, celery seed cloves, allspice and cinnamon and three quarter cup of salt. Bring to a boil and then add the prepared tomatoes, onions and peppers. Let boil for 20 minutes. Fill jars and seal while hot.
 Everybody likes pickled onions. Take small white onions of uniform size, peel, cover with fresh water and let stand for two days. changing the water at end of the first "A hours. Wash thoroughly and put into brine for four days. changing brine at end of second day. Remove from brine and place in boiling water for ten minutes, then place in cold water for two hours. Add a few red peppers and garnish with springs of mace and pack into jars. Fill jars to overflow ing with spiced vinegar which has stood for several days with spice bags left in 1t.

Some Observations.

MT. Editor: One of the series of advertisements of the Shore Line rail- road in our local papers says the principal of zone fare system is to se- cure for penny of fare paid as near ly as possible. the money worth of ride, neither more nor less. The writ CT get on one of their cars at the Gilman house on North Washington street, told the conductor he wanted to go to Park church. He was inform ed that fare was seven cents. Did he get his moneys worth for the seven cents paid? The card of information for the benefit of the public on the cars reads in big red letters. "Whe is to biame@ Don't blame the company; don't blame the conductor" so I con cllde it must be the poor devil of a public. It also says you require ser vice" This sounds nice. True West did as well with hiz old horse cars way back in 1883. He: got his cars up to Greeneville and back on time and that .is more than can be said at the present time.

TIME FOR hoUsEcLEANiNo.

Not cnly is there reason to deplore
 the conditions which are existing in the political life of Philadelphia as revealed by the evidence in the hear ing Of the murder conspiracy charges made against the mayor and others of that city. but it is time that the city was thoroughly aroused to the point where it will insist upon the proper punishment of these who are guilty as well as thorough house cleaning for the purpose of riddinE the city of all such detrimental and dangerous influences.
 The tricks of ordinary politics. when employed as they are in some of the large centers, are bad enough but when it comes to the employment of gunmen for the purpose of going to any length to win. even to the com mission of murder as has occurred in: the Quaker City. it is time for new order of things. Good government is rare enough under ordinary condi- tions, but when it is disclosed that candidates or party leaders are will ing te take life. or to hire others to kill opponents or the guardians of the peace who may interfere with their plans, it indicates plainly enough that there Is an ulterior motive back of 1t all which bodes no good for the IA0S6 WHO WdHL OlHCe and control at such a price are no better than the guhnen themselves. They are working for personal bene- fits. The city is intended as the big victim if their desperate schen1e goes and the quicker public senti- ment rises up and puts an end there to, and demands that such men be dealt with according to the provis ions of the law the better it will be for the contentment. safety and the proper government of that city.

SWEDEN TO OBSERVE
 STRICT NEUTRALITY
Leaders of All Parties so Decide, Re.
 gardIess of Consequences.

Stockholm, Oct. 9-In response to the kings appeal for unity, the lead- CTS of all parties, conservatives, Lib- erals and socialists, have sent replies that all agree to the absolute neces- sity of tine new government observing strict neutrality in the war regardless of consequences. The conservatives emphasize the importance of main- taining commercial relations with both groups of bel1igerents. The liberals and conservatives are favorable to a coalition ministry but the socialists consider this solution impossible, on the ground that the fundamental do- lnestic conditions for a coalition are lacking.
