SEPTEMBER IS
 TIME NAMED
Deaf and Dumb Girl Speaks Out, Tells When War Will End
 and Calmly Dies

'Mothcr. l am going to die within a few hours. am thankful this dreadful war will end in September, .IgIZ"
 This prediction was made in speech by 1O-ycar old girl dumb since birth about two hours before shc died. The story was told by George V. McNeir, a banker.
 According to Mir. McNolr. who was told thc story by the girls mother. thc child. exceedingly bright as an infant daughter Of wealth parents living near New York, was born dumb. without even the power Of moaning as is ordinarily he case with mutcs.
 When five years old she developed a physical weakness and became an invalid. later partly regaining her health. She studied continually and at times displayed amazing powers and an astonishing grasp Of general affairs of Che world.
 She was deeply interested in tho war.
 Only once before the prediction as Co Che end Of the war had she ever uttered a spoken word. Three weeks ago she became seriously m and was put Go bed. A few days later her mother entered the room bringing vase of flowers. She stumbled and dropped the vase. whoreupon the child startled her parent by exclaim- ing: Why mother, you have broken thc vase and spilled the flowers!" Upon advice of physicians she re- pcatcd this experiment. hoping it might again cause the child to speak, but Co no avail The little girl never spoke again until she predicted her own death and the end of the var New York Times.

WON'T REQUIRE
 NINE INNINGS
Chicago Tribune Recommends that Americans Speedily Adopt Ty
 Cobb Spirit

We need to understand that the American eagle must find the sky
 clear for his flights or tho American people win cover in their cellars Either strong Americans will win with their bayonots or weak Amori-
 cans will be pulling out their pocket books. Either we kin the enemy or pay him.
 There is no other course open Co
 thc American republic in this war. The enemy is defeated or indemni-
 fled. We either attack as ny Cobb attacks or we pay as a solvent but reluctant debtor meets his creditors. Therc can bo no happiness in pay ing tribute. The joy Of battle may bc oycrcmphasizcd. but it certainly . is a plcasautcr emotion than that which attends tho reluctant drawing
 out of the purse strings at con Qucror's command.
 We may love ease and slippers, but we do not love humiliation. There is no American who would like Co draw upon his bank account
 Go make up a sum demanded by a
 foreign commander who had told his lefty that certain largo sum of
 money must be provided within |twcnty-four hours.
 ! If we do not ike such prospects
 we must work Co avoid them. They
 arc imminent in the world just now.
 We need the spirit Of ny Cobb and 'Hughic Jennings and Joan Of Are. We do not care how good the pitch ling sand the Germans are won dcrm pitchcrs-wo intend to make ! the seventh inning rally and get in the winning runs. Let the other fel- low go dcJcctcd to Che clubhouse. We shall not need our end Of the ninth inning. The game will be over when our time comes for that Chicago Tribune.

ITS A BOY"
CBy Edward A. Guest)


 The doctor leads a busy life, he wages
 war with death, Long hours he spends to help the
 one who's fighting hard for
 breath,
 He cannot call his time his own, nor
 share in others fun, His duties claim him through the
 night when others work is
 done.
 And yet the doctor seems to be Gods
 messenger of joy Appointed to announce this news of gladne5s: 'It's a boy!" In many ways unpleasant Is the doc
 tors round of cares, should not like to have to bear the
 burdens that he bears, His eyes must look on horrors grim.
 unmovcd he must remain, Emotion he must master if he hopes
 to conquer pain. Yet to his lot this duty falls, his
 voice he must employ To speak to man the happlest phrase
 that's sounded, "It's a boy!" I wish 'twcre given mo to speak a
 message half SO glad As that the doctor brings unto the
 fear-distracted dad. wish that simple words of mine could change the skies to blue And lift the care from troubled
 hearts, as those he utters do. | wish that could banish all the
 thoughts that man annoy And cheer him as the doctor does,
 who whispers: "Its a boy"

Whoever through the hours of night has stood outside her door And wondered if she'd smile again, whoe'cr has paced thc floor And lived those years of fearful thoughts. and then been swept
 from woe,
 Up to tho topmost heights or bliss that's given man to know wnl tell you there's no phrase SO sweet, SO charged with human
 joy
 As that the doctor brings from God
 that message: "Its a boy!'

And if you do your part if you make real sacrifice and subscribe Co as much of the Liberty Loan as you can staggcr under, if you rally shoulder to shoulder with the ten million regular Americans who MUST buy these bonds. in a few months time you will see a further flood tide of prosperity as that S2.OOO.OOO,OOO is spent ON TOP of our present active business and this community, and every worker in it will share in the business victory you have helped to win.

YOU WANT YOUR JOB,
 DON'T YOU 2

Brother. you don't want busi- ness depression, we know. You don't want factories closed down. shops closed up, men out of work, old people and little children with out enough to cat the very poor starving. We know you don't, but you haven't realized the danger yet. But we are at war. AT WAR and dangers go hand in hand with war and cannot be separated from it.

HOW TO DO IT

If you have a bank account go Co your bank and subscribe. Your first payment need be only per cent. of the whole and the balance in four payments up to August 90. IT you buy a SlOO bond your first payment need be only S2.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

And any real American with the stuff in him that is American stuff will and can say, "You bctchal Yes sir! You bctcha!"
 This is an enormous War Loan issue. Two billions, S2.OOO,OOO.- OOO. Is needed now-immediately. The banks have subscribed liber- ally. But the people must take the bulk of this loan. The banks money must be used. as always, to support merchants, factories, farmers. SO that crops can be raised. food stuffs prepared for market. and all business go on as usual.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15
WHAT WILL YOU sAY3

In day or two days or three days people will begin to ask you, Have you subscribed to the Lib crty Loan yct?"
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

If you have no bank account, go to your employer and subscribe through him. You can buy a $50 bond and pay $2.5O week to him until all paid for.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

Do you bit NOW. Sub scribe to Liberty Bond be- fore the day is over. And when anyone asks you, show him the receipt from your bank or boss and grin, and say You betcha, friend!' You betcha,' like a regular American who did not wait until the last day or until he was naeged into it, but who VOLUNTEERED who didn't hang back a minute when his country called.

Beautiful Chinese Vases

In imitation of bronze, are being sold at cost at Guys Drug Store. These are something new and make fine gifts.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

There is no excuse for your NOT doing your bit-and every one will know it.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

But there is something you CAN do. and MUST do. something that everyone of us Must do, and that is subscribe to the Liberty Loan. The nation must have S2.OOO. .oOO,OOO. NOW. There are bonds of $50. s1OO, $500, and upwards. They pay 315 per cent. and are the safest investment that has ever been known. They are a first mortgage on the wealth of the United States, now the greatest wealth of the world. It's like buying a ten dollar mortgage on million dollar bank building.
 It is only common sense to put your money in them-but you must WAKE mp to it. The Liberty Loan MUST be subscribed by June 18th. Your subscription is NEEDED NOW.
 When our boys abroad arc called on Co go through a curtain of fire, there will be no hanging back they'll go IN-in spite of every ones knowing that only some of them will go THROUGH alive. And they'll laugh. and sing "Therom be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight just as they did at Santiago, because that's the kind of stuff that's in them.
 What kind of stuff is there in you, brother? We want you to go in NOW. The nation needs your help-yery badly. Are you going to hang back? We don't believe you would knowingly be a stacker. You'll do your bit if you know about it. And you know about it now, and the call has come-thc nation needs you to do your bit today.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15

Tho best white shoe cleaner is sold at Guys Drug Store for 20 cts.
Douglas Island news., 1917-06-15
Brother, you don want to
 be a stacker, do you?

NO YOU know what a cur Dtain of fire" is? It is when the enemy brings up thousands of pieces of artillery, great can non firing shells as large as a mans body, one of which ex- pIoding among five hundred men could kill them aIl--other smaller guns firing shrapneL, with millions of bullets scarcely less deStructive-~hundredS of thousands of shells, all exploding along a certain line, until there is a real wall of expIoSion---a wall of death to be passed,
 And our boys are going in---in where they use curtains of fire as you use matches~going in with high hearts and a Iaugh--and OUR boys will go THROUGH~some of them.
 Brother, you can't go with them. You are too old, or you have too many dependent on you, or you can't pass the examination, or you are needed in your present work to keep the wheels of bus mess moving at home.
