LIBERTY BONDS
GIVEN AWAY
Calumet Baking Powder Company
To Give Away $4,000 10
Liberty Bonds

The Calumet Baking Powder
Company of Chicago are staunch
supporters of the policy of liber.
ally rewarding the efforts Of
their statesmen. Each year for
years, they have given valuable
prizes to statesmen securing the
greatest volume of business.
This year they will distribute
more than SO, coo in Liberty
Bonds among their high record
salesmen.
This is a splendid idea, a plan
that il worthy OF the heartie,t
commt ndation and one th} t
should b. employed by other
concerns who wish to contribute
70 the Nations fght'nr fund. 4"
The giving away Of rrizes in
the form OF Liberty Bonds vas
prompted by a spirit of loyalty
to emplay es and patriotic duty to
country. It answered the call
of conservation" without de-
priving statesmen of awards to
which conscientious selling er-
deavor is entitled. 1t will aid
the nation in time o. need and at
the same time prove prizes of
real worth aud ones of which
the Calumet statesmen will feel
justly proud.
How much better this, than
the awarding Of the usual prize
"trinklets," than the handing
out of awards that benefit only
the recipients.
II is a patriotic merchandising
move. 1t is certain to stimulate
the sale of Calumet Baking
Powder, because housewives Of
America are bound to buy IA pro
duet of the superior quality OF
Calumet Baking Powder, espec'
ially when they learn that money
spent for Calumet means money
saved for them and a boost t
the distribution of Liberty Bones
1t will enthuse Calumet sales
men. 1t will tie the spur o,
pltriotism to the determination
to excel in salesmanship ant

A Nations Prayer For

Day by day, month after month,
we have prayed lha, the cup of
war might pass from US, for We

We have Pazed with awe upon
the horrors of the battlefields Of
Europe. There We have seen
suffering and death such as the
angels Of heaven never looked
down upon before; while here
we have enjoyed peace and pro-
sperity which have flooded our
land. and We have prayed that
We might not have TO give up
our comfort and our ease and
face the awful realities Of war.
We have said TO our soul. thou
hast much goods laid up, eat.
drink and be merry and think
not of duty. but o. pleasure.
We have not prayed, o God,
that Thou wouldst show US our
duty and give 10 strength to
follow wherev Thou highest

our will might be Thy will. We
have prayed that Thou wouldst
save US from suffering, not that
Thou wouldst give us strength

can find in any other nation.
During the past 100 Yeas
there have beer a vast number
cf wot derful inventions and new
discoveries in the world and
there is no doubt but what the
great majority of these inven-
tons were devised and originat-
ed by cur own people Thomas

Sideration the wonderful inven-

ants OF any other country?
Not only are the American peo-
pie distinguished for their know
ledge and intelligence, but they
also represent higher type Of
physical manhood than you can
find in any other civilized nation
on earth. The heavyweight
champion boxer of the world is a
native born American ana the
majority of the great fistic title
holders who preceded him during
the past forty years have also
been citizens OF the United
States. Not only do we excel
the rest of the world in pugilism.
but there are many o her athle-
tic sports in which the American
people rank second to none.
1t is my honest opinion that
the United States lie blessed with
a better government than any
other nation on earth. Our laws
are more just and reasonable,
more humane and merciful than
the laws of an othes country.
! England and France are both
governed better than the common
run of nations, but these two
countries are not quite so good
as the United States in that res
pect.
| do not dispute but what our
country is not without a number
of shortcomings and imperfect

however, certainly do believe

There are some nations which
may surpass the United States

there is no other county which

The population of the United

This is a vast number of peo-
pie for any one nation TO possess
but nevertheless there are a few
other countries who surpass US
in size of population. There is
Russia and China, for instance,
either one of which contains a
larger number of people than
America. but in wealth and
natural resources we are pro.
badly greater than both of these
nations combined. The mineraI

are superior to those of any

Americans are not ready to send
over a large army ia the imme-
date future, but this will not
seriously Inconvenience the Allies
for they are not in any great
need Of men al the present time
The Enterte nations have now
lo' 5000. GOO trained soldiers in
the field and opposed to them are
less than nall that number Of
bo,h Germans and Austrians
combined. If we keep the Allies
well supplied with food ard ann
unition during the next I { "
months there is no doubt, in my
opinion. but what tn ey viii
achieve 4. complete and lasting
victory over the foe.
Ii is extremely unlikely that
any great number of American
will be killed during the present
conflict. The war department is
planning 10 train our men for
several months before sending
them across the big pond, and
while the American recruits are
being drilled firmly be ieye that
the German armies will be cru h.
ingly and decisively defeated in
a series Of the most spectacular
and terrible battles that the
world has ever seen.
The American people are not
a war-like people and they are
loath to unsheath the sword an
less they are driven by necessity
TO do so, but if the able bodied
men OF our country were vel,
trained and drilled they would
make the finest soldiers in the
world. The American people
possess both the mental and ply.
steal qualifications which are es-
sental TO the making of a good
soldier. The members OF our
regular army at the present time
are better marksmen than any
OF the European troops now par.
ticipating in the great conflict.
When We take into considera
ton all the wonderful facts which
have been narrated, is there any
need for US TO be great y alarm q
over the out come OF the prese nj
stupendous struggle? The Uni
ted States is engaged in a jus,
and righteous warfare agains,
Prussian mllitarism, the basest
and most Infamous organiza'i or
of modern times, probably the
wors, of all time. When the
final gun is fired and the smok,
of the last battle clears ava,
there is no doubt, in ny opinic 7
but what victory will rest with
the Allied cause; consequently
there is no need Of any grea'
worry or anxiety among the peo
pie Of the greatest nation in The
world.
