WING AN ENEMY AERoPLANE

A real novelty in window trim
ming is to be found at the Liberal
Light and Power Company's office.
A machine gun made up of part Of
vacuum cleaner and shooting red,
white and blue ribbons, is shown
bringing down German aeroplane
or Taube. A pile of flashlight bat
teries nearby represents ammunition
for the gun. 1t was designed by Roy
Womack, city electrician.
Behind the gun stands the Goddess
Of Liberty, gotten up by Mrs. Buck,
witnessing in silent admiration the
fatal marksmenship of the American
gunners who have winged the Ger
man flying machine.

Almighty God, supreme ruler
and Governor Of all things, who
art a strong tower of defense to
them that fear Thee and whose
power no creature is able to re-
sist; unto Thee do we cry in the
lour of our country's need. Look
with favor, we pray Thee, on our
city and upon the men that have
answered the call Of their country
and are preparing for service and
upon those who shall soon be call
ed from our midst in the near fu-
ture. May Thy mighty sheltering
arm protect them. Grant, we be-
seech Thee, that the principles of
democracy that gave birth to this
nation may never perish from the
earth and that men may deem
them to be worth dying for in this
day. Save us, we pray Thee, from
the hands of our enemies, assuage
their malice, abate their pride.
Look in mercy on all peril, sick
ness and death and bring to thy
world the peace so greatly needed.
We ask it through the merits of
thy son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

has returned to his ranch in Colorado.
Ranch life seems to agree with Clar-
ance as he never looked better. He
says that there never has been so
much rain in that section before,
and unless it rains too much there are
going to be some great crops raised
there. Asked as to when he expect
ed to move his family to the ranch
Mr.. Edison said that this had not been
decided, but that it would not be for
several months yet

HONORED MEN
REGISTERING
Severe Dust Storm Did
Not Stop Patriotic
Demonstration

Liberals Registration Day Parade
was retarded somewhat by the storm
that came up just as it was time to
start. People took to shelter and
when the wind died down many that
had planned to be in the parade did
not get out.
The parade was led by Don Do
nato, the recruiting officer in this dis
trict. Following him came those rep
resenting the Esprit of 76,"- then
came the Civil War Veterans: G. w.
Light, Richard Newell, Henry Men,
-iek, W. McNabey, d. H. Heath and
Judge Hubbard. The Spanish
American War Veterans made
up the fourth section Of the parade
and few of those who registered for
future service came next. Then
came the Boy Scouts, their standard
bearer, Marie Engle, leading and
their drum corps, composed of Wayne
Dickerson and Frank Hyland bring
ing up the rear. The Liberal Band, the
Fire Department in uniform and a
bevy of little girls dressed as Red
Cross nurses completed the process
sion.
The song america" was the open
ing number on the program. 1t was
sung by chorus made up of G. E.
Matkin, Jr., Frank Smith, Abe X.
Stoufer, j. N. Evans, w. E. Engle,
Herbert Hobble, Ed. Kindschi and
w. H. Feather.
The second number was a prayer
by Rev. McLennan, pastor of the
Presbyterian church. Then the
chorus sang another song.
The Spanish-American war veter-
ans had planned to give drill but
there were so few present because Of
\ the storm that it was called off.
"The Liberty Bond as a new prop
osition to US just as this day is new
proposition and without precedent in
our history" said Herbert Hobble,
the speaker of the day. ''It is a part
of the outgrowth of the new order of
things. The Treasury Department
has issued two billion dollars worth
of them. They are to bear 3h per
cent interest. The smallest denomi-
nation issued are Of $50 each but big
companies have bought them up and
are selling them on the installment
plan. They should be bought by
every individual or company that has
funds on hand"
"Those of us who are too old to
register can do our part by buying
one of these bonds for the funds de-
rived from them are to be used in the
defense of the nation. Every dollar
derived from their sale goes into the
United States Treasury. Every
bank or trust company in the United
States acts as agents for their sale
and acts free of charge"
Following the talk by Mr.. Hobble
the chorus sang "The Star Spangled
Banner" as the closing number.

"It's much easier to shoot a pig

meeting held at the Methodist Church

"The young people of this organiza-
ton are looking upward-shooting
stars instead Of pigs.
"Today there is not much said
about people who go wrong; then too
much is said," continued Mrs. Grin
stead. "We should show more appre-
citation for the efforts of young peo-
pie who are good. You remember

1t is to be hoped that Congress
will enact Immediately a nation
wide prohibitory law. | have urged
this measure for years, but now,
with the nation at war, with every
possible source of food production
certain to be strained to the utmost,
we have neither men nor materials
to waste in continuing an evil
agency which the Oldest nations of
Europe have abolished. Forgetting,
if ue can, the moral aspects of this
question, if must be clear to thought
full patriotic Americans that if we
expect to escape serious shortage
of food stuffs, including grains for
livestock, we must turn our re-
sources into proper channels.
Millions of bushels of grain are
now used annually in breweries and
distilleries. 1t would seem to be a
poor sort of patriotism that would
permit a business 80 destructive as
the liquor business to continue using
the labor of more than 100000
men-not counting saloonists and
retail dealers-while the Nations

By all means let us have National

O Beautiful For Patriots Dream

O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
o beautiful for glorious tale
Of liberating strife,
When valiantly, for mans avail,
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!.
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine!
O beautiful for patriots dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities CLEAN
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!

And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

buttered toast and keep it warm.
Another nice way Of serving egg Is
to beat the white until stiff, heap it
on a piece of buttered toast, hollow
out the center and drop in the yolk,
sprinkle with salt and bits of butter
and set In q hot oven to set the egg.
Rice Soup.-Scald a cupful of milk,
add one and three-fourths tablespoon
fuls of well-washed rice, cook in a
double boiler, add teaspoonful Of
scraped onion or onion juice, stalk
of celery, bit of bay leaf, and salt
and pepper to taste; add to the soup
when strained. Chicken broth may be
used instead of milk; add q table
spoonful of cream before serving.
Milk AIbumen.-Put the white Of an
egg in pint jar with half cupful of
rich milk and a pinch of salt, shake
until well mixed.
Beef Broth.-Cut two pounds Of
round steak into cubes, remove skin
and fat. Put into kettle with some
beef bones, cover with quart of cold
water and heat gradually to the boil
. ing point, but do not allow it to boil.
Simmer for two or three hours, add
ing q little salt. Remove the fat after
cooling, strain and reheat.
Chicken Broth.-This may be made
from the bones Of q leftover chicken
or from the wing tips and q little
water, making q small cupful of broth
by adding little cream.
A well-beaten egg stirred into any
broth just before serving, adds great
ly to its nutritive value. Serve broth
with toast points or croutons.
Cereals, to be served in gruels
should be cooked in double boiler for
several hours, strained and sailed
