speech, sweet boon! we must moi
lose it, and therefore never should
abuse it. Some gents who wish tt

speech to fragile. They hand Out
sentiments exotic; they're toiling like
so many yeomen to dish up comfort

THANKSGIVING

President Wilson in his Thanks
giving proclamation makes no at
tempt to recount the specific things
for which the Nation at this ime has
cause to be grateful. Had he parti-
cularized doubtless he would have
given the result of the Second Lib
erty Loan prominent place among
those things for which the nation
should be thankful.
For the great result of the Second
Liberty Loan campaign, with nearly
100000 Americans rallying to the
financial support of the Nation and
subscribing over four and half mil
lion dollars for the purchase of Lib
.rty Loan Bonds, is cause. for deep
thanksgiving in the heart of every A
nerican.
President Wilson says that we
should be thankful that we have
been given the opportunity to serve
mankind as we once served oursel-
YES in the great day of our Declar-
alton Of independence by taking up
arms against the tyranny that thre
ltned to master and debase men
everywhere.
So, too can all subscribers to the
liberty Loan be thankful that they
lave been given an opportunity to
aid in this great mission of America
and have done their part toward Civ
ing to the world liberty and justice
md security from the tyranny that
threatens to master and debase all
nations and all men.
Every purchaser of Liberty Loan
Bond has struck blow for human
liberty and for civilization and hui
nanity. Let them remember this on
Thursday, the goth day of November,
and be thankful.

SUCCESS OF THE LOAN
DUE TO THE PEOPLE

All will agree with Secretary Nc
adoo that the success of the Second
Liberty Loan would have been i'm
possible without the loyal support
and cooperation of the people of the
country, and that the support was
secured by the interchangeable and
earnest work of hundreds of thous-
ands of patriotic men and women
throughout the United States.
Well may the Secretary of the
Treasury thank these splendid vol
unteers and patriots who made the
fight for the Liberty Loan. In addi-
ton to the thousands and thousands
of individual workers, he mentions
particularly the press of the country,
the bankers, the Liberty Loan organ
izers in every State, city, town and
community, the women of America,
the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the
business men, patriotic organizations
throughout the land and those en-
ployers of labor who gave their en-
ployees every opportunity to sub
scribe to the bonds.
There is something particularly
patriotic in the liberal support given
the Second Liberty Loan by the sol
diers and sailors of the United States
Having enlisted their lives in the
service of the country, they have en-
listed their dollars, too. Surely they
are worthy of every needed sacri-
flee on the part of the people to
strengthen them and enable them to
win the victory.

The Editor of the Dispatch re-
ceived word this week that his
brother, H. B. Stapleton, of Seattle
has enlisted for a term of four years
in the navy as chief Yeoman. The
news came to us as a pleasant sur
prise.
The people of this section are do
ing their bit for the boys at the
front. Coulee City was asked to
raise a $500 Y. M. C. A. fund and we
have $655.7O ready to turn over. We
hope to be able to publish a COM
plete list of the subscribers next

The Coulee Presbyterian church
killed three birds with one stone
last Tuesday night when they gave
farewell party for Mr.. and Mrs.
Jim Myers who are leaving for the
Sound; for Mrs. Schreibner who left
Wednesday night to join her hus-
band at Clearlake, Wash. land for the
English family who are leaving soon
for Indiana where they will make

A suspicious looking character was
arrested here this week by local Of
ficer, LETTERS and taken to Ephrata

Officers at Salem were notified and
the warden from the Oregon prison

Something for Nothing


Always run from the fellow who
offers you something for nothing.
Such propositions mean invariably
that ou are going to get nothing
for something.
A concerted effort will be made
this winter by an association of
retail merchants in Missouri to
have law enacted forbidding the
use of trading stamps and other
coupon schemes in this state. This
is not new idea. The Seattle
Times refuses TO accept advertis-
ing in which trading stamps are
mentioned and takes the position
that Getting something for moth
ing does not exist in this world.
Somebody pays for the stamps"
The St. Paul Pioneer Press refus-
es trading stamp advertising. The
list of influential newspapers who
take this stand in growing rapidly
and the Missouri retailers think
they are right and will try to stop
the practice.
At this season of the year all
sorts of advertising schemes are
brought into town because the rher.
chants are getting ready for the
holiday business and fall An easy
victim. They forget that the news
paper has been organized and es-
! tablished for the purpose of reach
ing the very people they want to
reach and that no handbills or
mailed circulars do tn. same work.
The handhills are thrown aside or
saved up to be sold by the pound
in these days of high paper, and the
circulars received by mail are gen.
orally consigned to the furnace
while program and manual socalled
advertising is a donation to the
society soliciting it.
The argument that the trading
stamp and coupon schemes are ad-
vertis;ng lust as legitimate as
newspaper advertising will not
wash. The purpose of tising
is to tell the prospective customer
what the business man has for
sale, describe it and price it. The
coupon does not do this in any
manner. The cost of the coupons
and stamps is always made up
