who are very prosperous be-
cause of war prices for wheat,
wool and livestock. The Camp
Lewis boys are offering their
coin to the government after
having first offered up their
lives, if such sacrifice should
follow as a fortune of war. In
view of their showing what
would you and l think of this
banner wheat county if it
fail to take its quota of
the liberty loan?

self. 1t is the pride of the SOL
dier that danger or no danger
he will go through with the
game and that if necessary for
him to lay down his life for the
sake of his government and his
fellow men he will do so. It is
this spirit of sacrifice and SER
vice that differentiates man
from the brute. 1t is the spirit
of the predominant nations of
the world. 1t was the spirit of
Bunker Hill and Gettysburg
and Manila Bay. 1t is the spir-
it today of the boys who wear
the drab and blue of our army
and navy. The boys are loyal
to their very hearts, ready to
lay down their lives on the al
tar of democracy and freedom.
But what of us who remain
at home and who just now are
called to face a definite duty
in connection with the second
liberty loan? The bonds have
been apportioned as fairly as
possible to each state and COM
munity, on a basis of each
community's ability to buy. 1t
is an easy duty to perform be-
cause no man is asked to do
nate a cent. He is merely ask
ed to lend money at good in
terest on the best security
there is in the world. But the
request must be met by the
people or it is all off. Money
is Just as necessary as soldiers.
If you have chance to take
some of the liberty bonds and
fail to do so you are a Stacker.
You are just as coldfooted as
the man who shuns the smoke
of battle when it is his time to
fight. This may sound harsh
but it is no time to be mealy
mouthed. Facts are facts and
when the country's welfare is
at stake it is desirable to be can
did and shortspoken. The cold
truth is that. those who can do
something and fail to do it
should be ashamed to look
themselves in the face. If you
have been delaying because of
neglect or lack of information
on the subject it is time for you
to wake up.

AN EFFORT WORTH
WHILE

n T is easy to forecast the
probable necessity of more
army training camps and
if one is to be located at any
point in the northwest the site
near Hermiston has advant-
ages that will be hard for any
other locality to surpass. I'm
der these conditions the work
to attract the governments ia
vorable attention to the site
constitutes an effort well worth
while. If we have a desirable
location for an army camp it is
in the line Of service to present
these facts to the proper au-
thorities. If the site should be
selected and an army of 25, 900
or $4,000 men assembled there
it is obvious that this whole
territory will derive benefit.

carry around instruments that call
attention to their infirmity. Therefore
people who are hard of hearing, who
suffer from head noises, or who are
actually deaf from catarrhal trouble.

cipe that can be easily made UP at
home for few cents cost that is real
ly quite efficient in relieving the dis
agreeable deafness and head noises
caused by catarrh.

Slaughter of Red Fox.

BLOOMINGTON, H., Oct. 9.-Cen-
trail Illinois farmers in some in
stances are registering their objec-
ton to the slaughter of the red fox.
The chase last month west of here
by the Mclean and Tazewell County
Fox Hunters association in which
large numbers of foxes were killed,
led to the protest.
1t is claimed that the red fox is
a first aid to the farmer in destroy
ing large numbers of field mice and
other pests of this character, and
that the credit in this direction, far
overbalances the occasional plumber
Ing Of a poultry yard. From time
INN emorial, the red fox hds been re
garded as the hereditary foe of man.
Now, it is claimed, this view should
be revised and the fox protected. 1t
