Boys in France Tobacco Fund is the
patriotism displayed in the recent an
nouncement that the various tobacco
companies who arc to make the fund
possible have erected a special factory
to aid the movement in New York City.
This move Is made necessary by the
law which prohibits the packing Of
tobacco and cigarettes in the same
building. After long negotiation with
The officials at Washington arrange

coming. One drouth insurance COM
pany that did q large amount Of bus
mess in the state has made settlement
with some Of the farmers merely by
returning their notes. This is not fair
for the company knew the conditions
in the state fully as we'll as the farm
ers did at the time the insurance was
written. The companies would have
insisted on the farmers fulfilling their
part Of the contract had the crops
turned out first class and the farm
ers ought to insist on the insurance
companies coming thru to the full
amount of their insurance. The In
dependent is glad that the state insur-
ance department has backbone enough
to insist on these companies treating
the farmers fairly.

Senator LaFollette spent three
hours in the Senate the other day an
swering his critics on his attitude
on the war and those who desire his
expulsion. La Toilette is always
spectacular figure in debate and he is
acknowledged as no mean opponent
by his enemies, but he has taken the
unpopular side and the more he talks,
the worse his case looks. The senator
quoted at length from Mexican war
speeches of Lincoln, Clay, Webster
and Sumner, in support of his defense
of the right Of member Of Congress
to assail the policy of the government
in time of war, but the Senator over
looked the fact that our land was not
then infested with German spies try
ing to undermine our government and
that the world was not engaged in the
mightiest struggle known. The SEN
ator has talked too much already and
no matter what he says from now on,
the people will always think that he
has made mess of it.

AT WOULD YOU
DO?
Could You Sacrifice Desires and Still
Your Emotions for the Country's
Good?

If you were beautiful American
debutante and received a proposal of
marriage from fine young foreign
nobleman, would you hesitate?
If you were an unprotected girl and
heard that your home had been wreck
ed in sudden war, would you dare
to hurry back to the heart of danger?
If you found your mother and sis
ter slain and your brother blinded in
hopeless battle, would you have the
womanhood to bear up under it?
If the debonair foreign nobleman
came along and still showed he loved
you, would you forgive him for being
an invader?
If you had chance to serve your
country by pretending to be traitor,
would you consider it?
If your true American lovers sister
was ruthlessly executed before your
eyes, would you ruin your country's
plans by betraying your sympathies :?
If you were finally discovered and
could purchase safety and a life of
ease by wedding barbarous foeman,
would you prefer to choose miser-
able death?

THE UKALALE GIRLS

On the island of Oaho, over in Ha-
waii, we have stationed a lot of Sam
mics. Evidently the boys are getting
lonesome, for they are writing to the
girls of America and asking them to
write. The boys promise to reply
with sensible, newsy letters, but no
bond is given with this promise.
The boys, in teasing way, tell Of
the native bellies, with their dreamy,
dark eyes and never satisfied appetites
for poi. They tell of the alluring tones
of the ukalele, and of the girls from
far-away Japan, whose ordinary Co.'S
tune is ten cents worth of calico and
a smile.
But they assure the American girl
that nothing can permanently wean
them away from the honest-to-good-
ness Yankee girl in Gods own coun-

from you or loan on them virtually to
the full amount The interest coupons
that are attached to the bonds can be
taken off as the interest periodically
becomes due, and any bank, or the
postmaster in any town will pay them
in cash.
The Second Liberty Loan of 1917 is
the greatest investment opportunity
ever put before the people.
Even if man looks at it merely as
business proposition, it is the best
thing in the world to-day. But when
you consider that by loaning your
money to the Government at this
time, you are doing a service of 10y
atty and putting yourself on record as
a patriot, it offers to every man, wo-
man or child who wants to enroll as a
patriot, the opportunity of lifetime.

The British have become weary Of
the German air raids on the British
Isle and Lloyd George has promised
the people that reprisals will be
made. For years, Germans have
dropped bombs on various cities in
England, killing many men, women
and children. AS practically all Of
the English people killed are non
combatants, the raids have been Of
little military value, only serving to
keep a few thousand soldiers and air
men employed to battle with the air
planes. The poor people have suffer-
ed the most as they are without bomb
proof cellars. The Allies have been
patient and would not now seek re-
prisals but for the fact that perhaps
when the Germans are given a few
doses of their own medicine, they will
be disposed to fight fairly.

CAN WHIP THE DEVIL.

Years ago German baron visited
Washington with Bishop Ames. 1t
was at the close of the Civil War
Down the street, in steady marching
tread, came company after company
with new uniforms. The baron said:
"What fine lot of men!"
Then the Army of the Potomac
swept into line with it's firm and ex-
perienced step. The German baron
looked in surprise and shouted:
Bishop! Those men can whip the
world"
We should like to stop this story
right now, but there is another point
that stuck in the Germans crop. Lis
ten:
At last the great Army of the West
marched by-an army decimated in
ranks and tattered in uniform. This
army marched in open order, singing,
shouting and yelling like mad. Over
each soldiers shoulder was a mess
kettle, or ham hanging from fork
ed stick, or a chicken neck sticking
out of knapsack. Every man looked
like Sherman and every man acted
like hell
The sight overpowered the baron
and he threw his arms about the
bishops shoulders and shouted:
Bishop, Bishop, those men can whip
the devilw
Their sons and grandsons will lick
the devil.

Colonel Roosevelt in his first editor

whack at the war department for their
delay in providing guns for the army.
Altho we have been at war with Ger
many for eight months, thousands of
our men are being trained with wood
en- guns and broom-sticks. The war
department gives assurance that the
guns will be furnished by the time the
soldiers depart for France, but the
Colonel thinks the men ought to have
the guns earlier so that they can be-
come more familiar with these wea-
pons. The government is now man
ufacturing 1900 guns a day and at
this rate it will require months to
equip an army of million

THE HOUR HAS STRUCK.

The hour has come when no human
in America can hope to escape IN
touched by sorrow. We doubt if any
true American wishes for such i'm

When sorrow begins to cast its

Of relationship grow stronger.
This is the hour that will again test
the traditions of Americanism. This

much.
