exploitation. This puts the stamp of superiority upon the newspaper as an effective medium. The shrewdest business minds in the world have giv- en the newspaper press this distinc- tion. The daily newspaper press is the great connecting link between the public and the sources of general in- formation. The volume of newspaper reading has become phenomenal. Newspaper advertising is read by mil lions in this country, with regularity and with intent to do buying by the offers put forth in this advertising. Multitudes of persons use the news paper advertisement as shopping guide-as the most convenient and the most economical method of find ing what is wanted.

RUBBER WORKERS BUY
 "OLD GLORY LOAN" BONDS

According to an official of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, while con gress was debating upon the "Old Glory bond measures last week a subscription list was being passed around the general offices of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company in Akron, Ohio. Each signature signified that the writer would buy at least one bond.
 This list kept increasing with name after name of the office employees as we'll as the department managers un- til the total reached more than hun dred signers within two hours.
 The news soon spread throughout the large factories and inquiries from every department began pouring in over the telephone. More pages were added to the already long list and it was circulated throughout the entire plant. Many of the employees asked no questions beyond that of knowing that they were standing by the Presi-

dent and helping their country in a great emergency.
 Tonight there is nto single de- partment in the entire group of large factories operated by the Goodrich company that is not represented on the subscription list.
 Photographic reports of this patriot ic spiri: to other cities throughout the United States tonight are expected to bring forth a result that will by far exceed those of any previous appeals ever made to the 9merican people.
 The name "Old Glory" for these bonds has an appeal-that cannot be resisted-especially by the workers.

WHAT GOV. LOWDEN'S
MEANS DEPARTMENT

ticIes by the staff correspondent Of
The Day Book on Gov. Lowden's
commission consolidation bill.
Springfield, Feb. 24.-Much Oppo-
sitiOn has been aroused against the
department of public welfare as or
ganized in Gov. LOwden's commits
sion consolidation, but inasmuch as
no authority appeared who could
offer a better solution of the problem
the department was not changed.
Two faults we're found by some au-
thOrities in this department as it is
now organized. The first was in the
placing of the state charities com
mission and the state board Of ad-
ministratiOn under the same depart
ment. After considerable discussion
the house committee unanimously
decided this was exactly the thing
which should be done.
The second fault was in the plac-
ing of the state board Of pardOns
under this department. Many be-
Ieved the board should remain as a
separate commission. The house
committee, however, retained the
board in the public welfare depart
ment with the understanding it could
be changed next session if found the
work unsatisfactory.
The duties Of the department of
public welfare are:
1. To exercise the rights, powers
and duties vested by law in the board
of administration, the fiscal super
visor, and other officers and employees
of the board of administration.
2. To exercise the rights, powers
and duties vested by law in the state
deportation agent, his assistants,
other officers and emnIOves

last Wednesday Afternoon at the

absence of the president, Mrs. A. J..
Jones, Miss Jessise Curtis presided.
Several ladies were present, and the
meeting was an unusually interesting
one. "How They Gave for the Taber-
nacle" was the Bible lesson. The pre-
sident's comments on this scripture
were especially striking, and she
made an earnest appeal for renewed
conservation of ourselves and our
money for this new year, even tho,
the past year has been the best in
the history of the society. However,
this fact was stressed, that no woman
let money keep her out of the society,
but become member, and pay just
what she thought she could. The
vocal sole, "All for Jesus" was given
just before the distribution of the
pledge cards. These are to be signed
and returned at the February meet
ing. The blackboard lesson making
comparison Of the expenditure of
money in our home land with the for
eign countries was especially instruct
i've. The facts are surprising.

NEUTRALS WILL SUFFER IN THE
 COMING WINTER
Germany Now in Better Condition Than Her Allies; Sweden to
 See Distress.
(By w. w. Jermane)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15. (By naiD-Signs point to such suffer ng among the people of the Central Empires and the neutral countries adjacent to them, during the com ing winter, as the world never yet has experienced-suff not only rom lack of food, but of fuel.
 Famines in India and Southern China have touched the heart of he world, but dreadful as these have been, they did not take place in liatitudes of snow and ice. One instinctively shrinks from looking at the pictures, and yet there are reasons for believing that it is soon 10 be unveiled so that all must see it.
 First, let us consider the question of food. Germany, beyond any doubt with her supurb genius for organi- zation and systematic attention to her neighbors, except France. Her food supplies are limited, but there will doubtless be sufficient to keep them from suffering the bangs of hunger, just as has been the case during the other winters of the war.
 In Austria, however, serious food ihortage is believed to be at hand. The recent press dispatches contain reference to it, saying that it would De starvation in that country the coming winter among both soldiers and civilians.
 Cold weather and continuous heavy rains have destroyed crops .n the rich agricultural regions Of Hungary, which are to Austria what he Middle West is to the United States. while it has been impossi- ble to bring into the country food supplies from Rumania, because of the lack of railroad rolling stock.
 Turkey in Like Condition
 Turkey is in a like situation. In normal times that country, with its medieval methods of agriculture, pro- duced barely enough food to supply it's own people. The war has fore ed it's able-bodied men into the ar my and the demands of Germany and Austria have compelled a divis- ion of the food the women and old men were able to produce.
 This year there has been a partial crop failure. which means that Fur key will begin the winter with a shortage of food supplies that it is believed will mean starvation to un- told thousands of her people.
 Holland is perhaps as we'll sup piled with food as Germany. for her country is one of the most fertile in the world and is extensively culti- vated. Certain things Holland does not produce. but lack of these, it is believed. will not result in real suf- ] fering.
 Denmark is more poorly supplied

SULZER IS ON THE JOB

letter in the Dispatch from Washington Wick" is in Washington-says Delegate Sulzer had been quoted saying that he had been spending more time in the Senate than the House attending to his business The fact is, of course, that the House has been practically in recess nearly all of the time for many weeks By "gentlemen's agree ment' it was arranged that the House would do nothing but consider war legislation and most of that had passed the House weeks ago. Therefore, while the Senate debated the House would adjourn from time to time, and House members scattered throughout the country. However, the House was in session few days last week and the week before, and Delegate Sulzer made of the opportunity to secure the passage of the eliminating assess ment work mining claims for the year. At any rate he is on the job whenever there is oppor- tunity Alaska.
