was so beautiful they thought it must
from some beautiful place, so
they were determined to find it. A
walk of two miles was soon accomp-
lished but they were so overcome with
fatigue that they decided to sit down
on a beautiful place near by the
stream. Here the girls fell fast as
leep.
AS the shadows of evening had
heightened, the girls awoke, surpris-
ed to find themselves at a strange
place. They were unable to recall
how or when they had come there.
Talking over their situation, very
much frightened and wondering what
to do, they heard a call in the dis
lance, but not distinctly enough to
detect whether it was the call of some
human being or if it was the call of
some wild animal. AS the sound came
nearer they heard their own names
ringing out through the air.
During the meantime their broth
er, who had been in search of them,
had seer footprints in the sand by the
riverside at the place where they
started their journey. He followed
them, every now and then calling
"Jane," "Mary," but he received no
answer. AS he was about to turn his
footsteps homeward, he heard voices
and walking back found the girls
seated on the ground in a shady place
among the trees. When he approach
ed they fairly shouted with joy. The
JOY was unbound as they accompan-
led their brother towards home. Upon
their arrival it would be safe to say
that never before had they felt the
love of home as much as now.

HIS Bill.

Francis Clark has the right idea.
Three years ago, when he was 8
years old, he began saving the money
he earned by selling magazines. Pen
MES. nickles and dimes were boarded
until they totaled few dollars. Then
Francis took them to the savings bank
and opened an account.
Week after week he added TO the to-
tai Day after day he denied himself
the boyhood luxuries that are as hard
TO forego as are the more expensive
ones which grown-ups like Gradually
he absorbed the fact that accumulation
of wealth must be brought about by
sacrifice. Many of us never learn that
lesson until we are much older than
Francis. Some of us never learn it.
Francis has mastered the first prin-
ciple of success. His s105 savings ac-
count is proof of degree of business
sagacity. self control and common
sense which cannot be- measured in
dollars. The amount Of his savings
will grow as he grows. His pass book
is the diary Of business man.
And that is but half the story For
Francis is patriot. His balance at the
bank is only 81 now. but the weeks
that come Will see 1t grow with me-
thodical regularity. In exchange for
500 he will have government bond
a part of Uncle Sans $4,000. 900
Liberty Loan-and each year until that
bond is redeemed he will receive $3.50
as interest, which will find its way
back into the savings account.
The other 81 is accounted for by the
Red Cross badge this 11-year-old bust
ness man wears.
A few men have subscribed millions
to the Liberty Loan: several contribu-
tons counted by hundreds of thous-
ands have gone into the war chest;
many $4,000. $4,000 and $1,000 blocks
are recorded. but none of these en-
titles the bond holder to greater
measure Of credit than is due the Of

WAKE UP.

Why is it that SO many good and
loyal citizens of the United States do
not realize the seriousness Of the
crisis which confrorts their nation and
themselves today?
Why do they not realize that the
country is at war?
Why do they not realize that many
of our men must go into battle and
that following the impending draft
there may and probably will come 9th
err drafts for older men?
Why do they not realize that the
hardships which European peoples are
undergoing so bravely right now may
be visited on the people OF this country
unless we-all OF us-rally to the sup
port of the government with patriotic
unanimity and determination to short
en- the struggle by making 1t unbear-
able for the enemy?
Certainly it is not lack OF loyalty
to the flag which symbolizes liberty.
democracy and the highest standards
citizenship in the world.
Undoubtedly 1t is because America
has been lulled into belief that her
great resources and her great poten-
tial strength insured her against any
serious war damage.
Undoubtedly, also. those resources
and that strength are capable OF win
ming In warfare over any nation-eyen
over Germany, with it's millions of
fighting men and its constituencies
creed of destruction.
But those resources and tina.
strength are useless until and unless
they are employed in a program of ma
tion.wide coordination to oppose the
world enemy Until America and
every citizen of America shall be wide
awake TO the presence Of war and to
its magnitude and its perils. the
strength of the nation cannot be used
to It's full extent.
America must wake up.

in the opinion OF temperance leaders
who have been meeting here to plan
their special election campaign. the
leaders say that the great mass OF the
people, many Of whom might tolerate
the use Of liquors under ordinary con-
ditions. will not give liquor any quar-

is upon the nation.
Nevertheless, the temperance forces
will be on the alert. Mrs. Ida B. Wise

difference between constitutional pro-
hibition and statutory. under which the
state is now operating.

IT'S A FINE JUNE.
merica came through.

America came through.
The first Liberty Loan Of 1917 was
oversubscribed in the last two days Of
the campaign because the people in
general finally realized that individu.
ally they had duty to perform.
Ottumwa came through: so did
Wapello county. The portion of the
loan assigned to this community was
exceeded, and if all the belated appli.
cations could have been considered the
sum would have been much greater
than it is.
The surge of loyal enthusiasm which
swept over America yesterday left no
room in even the most pessimistic
mind for doubt as to the patriotic de.
votion of the great bulk of American
men and women. Apathy disappeared:
action reigned. Word came from
Washington that an avalanche of sub.
scriptions from purchasers of $50 and
500 bonds was swapping the treas
ury department.
Financial authorities throughout
America agreed at the outset that the
loan would be oversubscribed. Their
deductions were based on unsentimen-
tai mathematics. There were enough
rich individuals and banks in America
to absorb a $4,000, 00O.0 900 issue of gov
eminent bonds.
But the mere sale OF the securities
was not the sole task for the govern.
ment. To make the Liberty Loan an
expression OF the nations unity in the
war 1t was essential that the number
of subscribers be counted in by the
million The government faced the
task. not only Of distributing interest
bearing bonds, but of distributing
among the people all over the country
the consciousness Of participation in
the war and responsibility for its sue.
cessful termination.
Both aims we're accomplished. The
man who could afford to buy no more
than a $50 bond, and who bought It..
is doing his share to protect his coun-
try from destruction just as much as
is the modern Croesus who bought
s.. 600, 900 or 100000 worth Of the Sc
curities.
F. W. Simmons. chairman Of the
Wapello county committee. Is conf
dent that the next Liberty Loan will
be completed with much less effort
than was necessary to float this one.
He bases his prophecy on the rush OF

MISSOURI CROPS

port issued by ". L. Nelson, assistant
secretary Of the state board Of agri-

GOOD FOR YOU, URUGUAY,

Uruguay is neutral. If you don't be-
lieve it and want to journey down TO
Montevideo to argue the question, no
doubt you will be shown the ensrossed
COPY of the resolution adopted few
weeks ago by Uruguay's senate and
chamber Of deputies. which DEGREES
Uruguay's neutrality in the war BE-
tween the United States and Germany.
But Just the same, Uruguay has an
opinion on the questions involved in
the war. She may be neutral but she
wants to see American win.
And so the senate of Uruguay decid-
ed yesterday that If American war
ships happen into Uruguayan ports
during the period Of the war. they
shall be treated as non. be|lieerents.
Uruguay is neutral: she doesn't care

GERMANY IS WATCHING YOU.

Iowa's Liberty Loan subscription
falls considerably short of her quota.
Ottumwa and WapeTlo county, al
though they are not up to the figure
set as their share of Iowa's total. are
in advance of some other sections of
the state.
Many other states are in the same
condition as that of Iowa. and natural
ly the question arises: "Why?"
And there are variety of reasons.
Germany is watching America today
as closely and as anxiously as the look
out in an American merchant vessel
scans the sea for the periscopes Of
Germany's murderous U-boats.
Germany is watching Iowa, and OF
tumwa, and YOU. If your subscription
! is not entered on the Liberty Loan list
Germany will count you one of her
allies. not loyal citizen OF the coun-
try which is at war with her.
Germany has floated seven war loans
within her borders The bulk of the
enormous debt with which she has
burdened herself in this war Is owed
by the government to the German peo-
ple. Germany knows the methods and
difficulties Of floating war loans.
Germany and all the world will
gauge Americas loyalty. and yours. by
the comparison of the Liberty Loans
total with the s2,000.0 100000 goal.
Tomorrow the books will be closed
| in Washington Tonight they must be
closed In Ottumwa.
Don't wait until the time has passed
when you can make your patriotism
count.
If you believe in your government,
| in the institutions. the freedom. the
democracy of your country, buy Lib
ertv Bond. Don't argue about the rate
of interest. or the term of the loan. or
the security. or the ACCESSIBILITY of the
loan itself, or the righteousness Of the
war in which America is engaged.
Don't haggle over the part you
! should play in making the Liberty
Loan success. There is no time left
for that now.
You have but few hours left in
which to do your duty. You can do IT
| now. by going TO the Commercial club
without a moments delay, comforting
with the Wapello County Liberty Loan
committee and arranging to have your
subscription included with the others
which have been obtained in this COM
munity.
There is no time left for soliciting
subscriptions There is no real rea-
, son why soliciting should be necessary
to insure the performance of patri-
otto duty.
II Is up to you.
Your purchase of Liberty Bond is
your notice to Germany that the Prus-
sian program of starvation and oppres-
sion and rapine and butchery must
cease
Your failure to buy Liberty Bond
gives Germany leave to point you out
as living proof that Americans are not
| behind America in the war.
How do you want to be counted?

FROM THE SHOULDER.

Coming as il does, from the head OF
our government. President Wilson's
Flag day address takes rank along
with the books" issued by the Europ
can governments in 1914 in which they
explained their reasons for entering
the war and their aims.
But more than that. it carries a
warning against the pacifist wiles OF
Germany, warning which calls fol-
especial consideration because il was
couched in language more decisively
blunt than the president has used in
any of his previous utterances on the
phases of the war.
Mr.. Wilson Is master of words
and there can be no doubt that in his
choice of language for yesterdays SET
speech he deliberately elected 10 throw
down the gauntlet not only to Ger
many but 10 the citizens of America
who even now persist in stubborn op
position to the war policy to which
their nation is committed
In effect SIr. Wilson told these men
that demands for peace at this time
are disloyal because they are pro
German He included no apology tc
those who are criticising the govern
ment's course in its battle for democ
racy He left no room for distinction
as between sincere but misguided crit
les and critics inspired by the enemy
He served notice that inability to un
derstand the nations aims no longer
can serve as an excuse for pacifist ut
terances. when he said
II is only friends and partisans
of the German government. whom
we already have identified who
utter these thinly disguised dis
loyalties The facts are patent to
all the world and nowhere are they
more plainly seen than in the
United States.
And moment later he added this
warning:
Woe be to the man or group of
men that seeks to stand in our way
in this day of high resolution when
every principle We hold dearest Is ,
to be indicated and made secure
for the salvation of the nations
Mr.. Wilson's declarations were nc
more blunt. perhaps. than those Of Col
