LIBERTY LOAN DAY
 ISCELEBRATED IN
 WARREN DISTRICT
Mines Close and Parade Is
 Held in Bisbee, Followed by Great Affair in City Park.

At ? o'clock yesterday afternoon, Ol shortly afterwards. the C. and A. band marched down Main street at the head of a peculiarly impressive parade. Following them came Company L. 35ta infantry, the civil and the Spanish war veterans, campfire girls, boy scouts, Womens' Loyalty league, the thigh school cadets and the school children of the district
 And it was the school children that made the parade impressive. There were hundreds of them, representing g almost every nationality in the world, and yet at the same time, represent ing the coming generation of but one nation-the United States. They were Americans all.
 Dykes the Speaker.
 At the City park an excellent pro gram was rendered, the musical num- bers being offered by the Boys Glee club and the Girls Glee club of the high school and by J. A. Rancourt. Miles Merrill introduced Professor Dykes Of the Marcus district high school, who proved himself a remark ably gifted speaker. He dealt with the Liberty Loan in firm, bold strokes, and showed a perfect familiarity with the present day problems of Ameri- cans.
 J. N. Gaines talked briefly on the Liberty Loan campaign.

 Owing to heavy rain. the Liberty loan rally which was to have been held on the Common was transferred 10 Fremont temple.
 The speakers included United States Senator Weeks, Governor Mccall and Brigadier General Johnston Of the northeastern department. BrigadieI General Johnston drew a contrast be tween this country and the European countries during the last three years urging that the people on this side who have been laughing along" take a sober view of the situation
 There is not only possibility, but a probability" he added, that we may have the end of the war on this side. Bear that in mind. and give us he wherewithal to meet the enemy on his own ground"

GERMAN HERESIES.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct 24-Bishop Luther B. Wilson, of the Methodist Episcopal church of New York, who returned from France this week, deliv cred a message today at Liberty loan rally, from General Pershine whom he quoted as follows:
 It is heresy too long left in mind that Germany is invincible. Germany will be conquered"
 Bishop Wilson declared that Ameri cans in France had made a splendid impression.
 Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield, said that Germany's hope of sea domination must be smashed.
 We are awake to the menace" he said, "and our answer in the form of the Liberty loan must be such as to show Germany America stands square ly across her path"

campaigning" the treasury announced tonight, were Dallas and Atlanta dis tricts. Secretary McAdoo aroused tre. mendous enthusiasm in Atlanta and tonight messages came from there say ing the banks were swamped with sub scriptions. The Dallas district began its campaign early today, with Gal weston going past it's minimum
 Galveston wired that the people there had given till it hurt Every city and hamlet in Texas held a Lib erty bond day meeting and wonderful results ensued. Like the Atlanta dis trict, it was unable tonignt to give more than a rough estimate of the days progress.
 In Ohio District.
 "It was a big day in the Cleveland district. Hundreds of persons were turned away from the meeting ad- dressed for former Ambassador Gerard and overflow meetings were held. The Cleveland total is now estimated at $50,00O.000. Downstate Ohio farmers were attacked by motor squads of so- licitors.
 Reports from Cincinnati and Pitts burgh were very encouraging. Toledo had a parade 10 miles long. Youngs- town took almost SS,070,0O0 in suo- scriptions.
 Middle West
 Afternoon reports showed that since the campaign began the city of Chicago had subscribed S100,000, ,000; 1; Illinois, outside of Chicago, S25.000.- 900: Iowa, s47,OOO, 900; Wisconsin, S4O,- OOO, ,0GO, and Indiana $30,0O0,000.
 Best figures obtainable show that the St. Louis district will subscribe it's minimum total by Saturday.
 Among the Pacific coast figures for the entire campaign received to- night were:
 San Francisco, $60,0O0,00O; Wash ington, s1S,OOO,OOO; Los Angeles, city and county, s15,OOO,OO0; San Diego, S9,OOO,OOO; Nevada and Arizona, s. OOO,OOO each; Oregon, s10O00,000.
 Minneapolis was the center of hard drive today.
 The West.
 Kansas City reported only a few words-that subscriptions were large. Hawaii also contributed today. A message from the governor said that the islands did not know their total but were going ahead to roll up the largest possible quota. More than S3,O00,O00 already has been raised there"
 From the ,farthest corners of the world Americans are answering the call. Subscriptions have been re- ceived, it was said, from citizens in almost every foreign land. A supply of posters sent each American consul stirred some of them to such enthu- siasm that they responded by cable.

1T is apparent that the German subna-
rine campaign is failure, so far as its
avowed object TO starve England is con-
cerned. While these piratical craft have
succeeded in sinking quite number OF
unarmed merchant ships, the British are
receiving daily, almost as usual, cargoes
of every sort from all quarters ofihe earth.
Moreover. if is the general belief that the
British are meeting the menace OF the sub
marines by various means that are becom-
irg more and more effective, and scores
Of these tigers OF the seas are being sunk
or captured Indeed, il is likely that The
Germans v i'll not be able TO manufacture
submarines as last as the English destroy
them.
The efficiency and resourcefulness Of
the Germans are more than being met by
their enemies. Their liquid fire and poi
sonous gases are no longer feared by the
armies OF the Allies. Their great fleets
of dirigibles that were 10 destroy French
and English cities and bring the inhabit-
ants thereof 10 their knees are scarcely
heard OF nowadays. The undersea YES
sells that were TO bring cargoes of costly
goods 10 the United States and carry back
from this country the things needed so
presSingly in Germany made barely two
trips, and if reports are 10 be believed,
one OF these ships lies at the bottom OF
the sea and the other is a captive in an
English port.
Worse than all else, the German people
have lost the sympathy OF all the world
by their incredible cruelty and dishonest
intrigue. The perfidy and treachery OF
representatives OF the German govern
ment in the United States, the discovered
plots OF German sympathizers here, have
alienated practically all OF our people,
many OF whom did have some sort OF re-
gard for the central powers. The leu
tons bring contemplation themselves be-
cause they pursue their warfare on the
seas with treacherous and merciess sub
marines, instead OF bringing their battle
ships out and giving fair fightto the British
fleet. They have aroused the horror OF
all civilized peoples by their wicked
treatment ofthe Belgians-within the last
week having deliberately sunk ship car
rying the gifts OF food and clothing from
tie United States 10 Belgium, and on land
carrying into effect a campaign TO rob that
unhappy country of such poor goods as
she still retained.
German defeat is inevitable. God is
not with so barbarouS and cruel govern
menl.

MARCH, IL, 1911
Mr.. Editor-You have doubtless seen
in last weeks "Farmers' Advocate" call
for the citizens of the county TO meet with
the county court on Saturday. March 18th,
al 2 D. m, in the courthouse, 10 discuss
the road problem and try to find some
solution. In that call have asked lew
questions which will try 10 discuss pro
and con without prejudice. Before doing
so, in order that my motives be not Ques-
toned, wish TO make the statement that
am doing this entirely i'll the interest OF
the roads. am not after any office nor
will accept one if offered.
For the benefit OF those interested, |
have compiled the following table. The
road mileage is taken off the road map OF
Mr.. lanes K. Hendricks, from the levy
books the amounts levied. and from the
records OF the county court the amounts
expended. The free pike orders are moi
tabulated separately. hence cannot be CIV
en-. The fiscal year starts October Isl on
the roads, hence that date. In ADDITION
TO The levy, Kabletown district received
S3,l41.79 for road purposes from back
taxes.

Or little over 10 per cent paid for SUI
perVlSion.
Improved methods of road building, eff
ficient handling OF labor, etc., can easily
save several times the salary ofan eDgin-
eer. Has il tailed ? There has never
been an engineer hired TO give all his time
to the roads. Mr.. Hendricks was also
county surveyor, while | was given part
of the roads, paid pari OF salary to give
one-half OF my time to the roads. The
other halt had 10 spend making a living.
The demands Of the work were such that
spent great deal more than half my
time on the roaos and then didn't do all
that should have done. Matchmaking
has gotten beyond being side line tor
farmer-it'S profession. The county
engineer can appoint his own supervisors,
tire them if they don't get results, say how
the road shall be built, on what roads The
money shall be expended, not building a
road TO supervisors home, handle the
finances, end make reports 10 the court in
writing, so that any taxpayer can also fol-
low the progress OF the work. Before
leaving the supervisors If, is TO recon-
mend that such men as w. Blackboard
and A. M. Best should be retained on the
roads as long as they continue to get the
results that they have in the past.
Are we getting the most out the mon
ey expended? One thing clear to any
one who tries to find out anything about
our roads is that nothing can be found.
There are no records kept OF the amount
OF work done, cost OF doing same, etc.
Such records should be kept, so that the
taxpayers can find out what's being done
with their money.
Is the amount raised for the roads
enough ? II seems so in some districts.
A string OF stone eight feet wide, eight
inches deep, can be laid for $500 to 81 600
per mile under our conditions. On dis
trict roads this lasts six totem years. There
i S piece OF road IN front OF our farm that
has not had any stone on il, TO my certain
knowledge, for eleven years. The
amount for the pixies is not enough for the
traffic they carry. The main pixies should
be built OF concrete or some other perma-
nent pavement.
Shall we bond the county for road pur-
poses Not until We have to.
Shall we use the patrol system OF road
maintenance in addition to our preSentSyS-
TEN? Most certainly. A governmentex
pert who went over our roads last summer
estimated that 90 per cent on the district
roads and 60 per cent on the pixies OF the
damage was done by water. This water
damage can be practically eliminated by
having man 60 over all the roads at
least once month, opening drains and
filling holes with stone left in piles along
the roadside. A stitch in time saves nine
is certainly true in road maintenance
This could be done by having man in
each district TO give all his time TO this
work, or couple OF men with the truck
now owned by the county to cover all the
roads.
Don't fail to be on hand Saturday TO
keep Jefferson from getting in the mud.
Yours very truly,

IF reports OF recent discussion IN the
Prussian Diet are anywhere near the
truth, conditions in Germany must be far
worse than that government is willing to
admit and more awful than the people oil
this country have ever imagined. In the
discussion referred TO Herr Hotter, So
cialist member OF the Diet, is reported by
an Amsterdam correspondent as having
told the plain truth, as follows;
"The mortality among elderly people
is increasing at terrible rate, while cpl
denies are spreading everywhere, owing
to the decreased powers OF resistance.
The situation is much more serious than
has been admitted. The number OF sui
cides is increasing and parents are killing
their children, owing to their inability to
obtain food for them"
Ii is believed by many observers that
Germany will not be able TO hold out
longer than the present year, and that her
inhuman submarine campaign is a last
desperate effort to avoid the certain de-
feat that awaits her.
