III is known by all persons that
eur government is now engaged i'm
the greatest war ever known.
| hat such war has been thrust
upon us by brutal and relentless
foe. The utmost resources of our
government will be taxed and the
greatest energy required to win
the war. TO successfully prose-
cute this war, il requires not only
The loyal support of every citizen,
but vast sums of money. The
President and the administration
recognize This fact, and Congress
has provided the means by which
Inns money can he raised. IL is
nI the utmost Importance that the
second Liberty loan be not only
fully subscribed, but over sub
scrlbed, in order that not only
our own government but the 9TH
or nations of the world may know
that we, as citizens, propose to do
G.erything necessary to bring
ABOUT success on the terms de-
sired by our government. A fail
liIe to meet the requirements for
raising the funds for the second
Liberty loan will be taken as an
evidence of lack of loyalty on the
part OF our people and will have
a baneful effect on the general
morals of our army. Everybody
Hllt render assistance, regardless
o; nativity or social position. In
this crisis the government right
lilly assumes the people should
buy these bonds in proportion to
their ability. Citizenship and
rrsidence.under protection of our
flag imposes such obligation.
The County Council of Defence.
c"-operating with the Administra-
t'on, is now making effort to have
Harrison county do its part in
Ills great work. The amount our
county is expected to subscribe to
his loan is near 1000, OO0. 90. or
about $1,000 for each man. wo-
n'an and child i'm the county. The
Council of Defence has appointed
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10Th, as a
grand rally day, during which ev-
eryhody will be expected to assist
IN THIS great work. To the end
lhat there may be nothing to in
.f'rfrre, the Council of Defence
requests that all schools be dis

We're driving to this city in their

everywhere. After leaving Hous-
ton thes.first stop Of any import
ance is at Alvin, Tex, where the
depot grounds are a sight to be-
hold. Banana plants, palms, rose
bushes and shrubs are used to
decorate the grounds and they
surely present a very beautiful
appearance. Even the small towns
have fine little depots and the
grounds are kept beautifully.
Northern railroad managers
should take q. trip through this
part the country just to see
how they take care Of the travel
ing public in the south. During
the entire trip we did not encoun-
ter depot that was anywhere
near as tacky as ours, and many
Of the towns with fine little de-
pots do not have over 200 pop
ulation..- The grounds are fixed
uu invitingly, so that it looked as
though the railroads took pride
in their property. That is more
than You can say Of most of the
drpots in the towns of Iowa.
Denispn was the next stop and
thirty minutes are given the trav-
elers to stretch their legs, which
was utilized by all of us. Mus
kogee, Okla, was reached late in
the afternoon and several men,.
hers of the party took hike up
town and each returned bearing
q large watermelon weighing
about fifty pounds. They were
served for dinner that night and
were greatly appreciated. Kan
sas City should have been reached
monday evening in time to catch
the night train north, but car
trouble made the train late so
Kansas City was not reached until
some time in the night, and the
trip from there to Council Bluffs
was not started until 1890 a. m.
TUESDAY and Missouri Valley was
sighted at 1880 that evening.
The trip is one which should be
taken by anyone having the time
to spare, as it gives us northern
ers different idea of the south
and especially about the great
Estate OF Texas.

luted committee, or assistant,
to obtain subscriptions. 1t is ex-
pncted that the business houses
throughout the county will close
and everybody unite in this great
work.
The chools are a wonderful
power in every locality and can
accomplish great good in any
work undertaken. We recommend
that you cause your school TO be
dismissed on that day, and that
your teachers and pupils be re-
quested to devote the entire day
and give their best efforts to as
sist in this great undertaking. We
suggest that the attention of your
teachers be called to this at once,
and every teacher be requested to
explain the foregoing matter to
tie pupils and that the pupils be
especially instructed to commun-
icate these facts to their parents
and to the people within their re-
spective districts. While schools
should not be suspended for any
but very important causes, we
are convinced that the work which
the teachers and pupils can do by
joining in the above movement
will far outweigh anything else
that can be undertaken for a like
period and will more than COM
pensale for the slight interrupt
ton.
Hoping that you concur in the
above suggestions, and that you
will enter enthusiastically into CO.
operation with those who are
|dcvoting their time and money to
the support of such an important
cause. Sincerely,

Chain letter IS
swapping MAILS
Gigantic Proportions Reach
ed in Plan Questioned by
Postal Officials
FRENCH CONSUL'S
NAME IS USED

Postmaster. English has received a
complaint from a local resident Of a
chain Of letters which is being worked
throughout the country and which has
swamped the postofilce at Seattle,
Wash, according to word received here.
The local citizen who received a letter
sent a quarter as a donation to a hos
pital to be erected somewhere to treat
wounded soldiers, but instead OF send
ing the money to the address enclosed
in the letter, he sent It TO the French
consul at Seattle, WASH, whose name
was mentioned in the letter he received.
The letter was returned unclaimed.
Postmaster English at once took up the
matter with the postal authorities, such
letter chains being in violation Of the
law.
II is understood that scores Of such
letters are being received by Whining
tonians and warning has been issued
to those receiving them to pay no at
tention to them. The Red Cross branch
in this city has heard Of the scheme.
but they are not connected with it in
any way. It is thought that the scheme
was evolved by German agents in an
effort to clog the mails and therefore
embarass the postal authorities.
Someone at first sent out 100 letters
and each recipient was TO send six
letters. The last letter sent out is said
to number 30. If each recipient has
compiled with instructions there are
now 222,0OO,OOO. OO0. O,OOO,OOOOOO letters
in the mail, each Of which asks a quar-
ter for the hospital.
These figures, according TO mathe-
maticians, are only an estimate, how
ever.
