A REAL WAR.

The sooner the American people
realize that this is very serious busi.
ness upon which the country has en-
barked. that the war is not going to
end before the soldiers and sailors
can get to the firing line the better 1t
win be for the nation. The people, or
Mt least a large number Of them, per-
sist in hugging several very comfort
ing decisions to their souls. They
think that the war will end soon, pro-
claim that Germany is already ex-
aausted and that revolution in that
empire will soon bring universal
reign of peace to a war distressed
world.
Now either Of these things may
happen soon, but it is not likely. Ger

James w. Gerard, the recent ambassa

Of his party, are warning the people
OF America of the resources and the
power of its INSCRIPTIONS and bar

been made by our heroic allies on the

probable that it will continue for an

lals who use every waking moment in
,ome ceaseless endeavor to make a
lollar because of the war that they
are either too cowardly or too indif-
ferent to wage for their country. 1t
s going to be won, victory is going to
come in the conflict, as the result OF
he self sacrifice, the unselfishness,
the devotion to duty and the heroism
Of the men and women of America.
The president, may God protect and
seep him, has no illusions about this
war, nor have his trusted advisers.

sentiments or who seek to discOur-
age those who would do their patriotic

FEDERAL FARM
LOAN ORGANIZED
JESSE roMliNsoN RESIGNS ~
SECRETARY AND e. D. LOOM
EY IS ELECTED.

The following report or the MEETING
Of the board OF directors Oh ti.c rarm
Loan association of Maury county has
been furnished by Capt. J. N. Meroney,
The president:
THE directors of the Maury County
Farm Loan association met on Mon
day with a full attendance. There
we're fourteen membership claims
examined as to applicants for farm
loans. These were endorsed and will
be forwarded to the Farmers Loan
Bank, at Louisville, for approval. This
is a legal sufficiency to issue char
ter. After charter is received there
will be no limit to the reception OF
other responsible members into the
association, and this association is
now an assured fact and it is hoped
will prove of great benefit to many
farmers of Maury county.
Jesse Tomlinson had been elected
secretary treasurer, but resigned the
place without entering into the duties
of the office and e. D.. Looney was
elected to that office. The association
is now in working order, with all legal
obligations complied with and only
waiting for the charter. 1t is now the
duty of members applying for loans to
prove title to the lands on which they
wish loans by having abstracts OF title
prepared. BY request of the bank at
Louisville the names of three abstract
attorneys have been furnished, either
of which will no doubt be satisfactory
to the bank. The abstracts must be
furnished to the satisfaction Of the
bank before the money asked for will
be sent"

cause of the economy made necessary
by the war, will slay the greater part
of the dogs and not have to pay taxes
thereon. This might be cause for
failure to pay the dog tax, but what
ever the reason may be it must be a
good one, because at the last term the
encouragement gave due and emphat-
ic notice of what the owners who ne
elected to pay their dog taxes might
expect.
An effort was made at the last term
to have the encouragement indict
those who had failed to register their
dogs, but Gen. Frierson declared that
since the law had been for seven years
or more dead letter it would be man.
ifestly unfair and unjust to indict the
owners of dogs and put them to great
cost without any warning. He there
fore declined to accede to the request
of those who sought indictments, but
In a statement, formally issued
through The Herald, Gen. Frierson
said that beginning with the present
term he would rigidly enforce the law.
Every one who knows Gen. Frierson
knows that he means just what he
says, and the indictment of thousand
or more citizens of this county for fail
ure to pay their dog taxes is one of
the sensational developments that
may come at the next term of the
Circuit Court.

MAuRY COUNTY MUST HELP.

.Maury countians must have a part
and a very substantial part in the great
war loan. The Herald hopes that hun
dreds and hundreds of sucriptions will
be given the banks here for this loan
One of the banks has expressed the
hone that every man, woman and child
should be represented in the loan.
That would be fine If it were possible,
Int all who can should subscribe even
If for only twenty-five or fifty dollars.
The bonds are absolutely safe and a
fine investment. But above and be-
yond that they will be the very sinews
of war for this glorious land OF ours
in it's hour of need. Every dollar OF
this liberty loan will be used to aid
the sacred cause of making the world
Mt last free. 1t is a sacred fund and 1t
is the solemn duty Of every citizen to
have part in contributing to 1t.
This is serious business upon which
our country has entered, the most serl-
pus in all Of its history. It is going to
wage the most tremendous battle that
At has ever engaged in. Upon the Is
sues of that battle democracy, the
rights OF mankind, hang in the bal
ance. 1t cannot win without the
ole-hearted devotion and sacriflce
of it's own. The citizen who hesitates
to advance his government money, to
give any part Of all that he has to Its
cause, is very far from being a pa
triotic citizen. He is not worthy OF
his glorious heritage. He can hardly
expect victory to crown the cause un-
less he is willing to do his part. Let
not the matter Of pecuniary return
In any way influence his course to-
ward his government during this
crisis. Let all sordid ideas OF mate
rial gain be absent from his heart.

WHITE SALMON HAS
DISASTROUS FIRE

Accompanied by many citizens, a
score of the members of the Hood Riv.
er Volunteer Fire Department rallied
at $50 O'Clock Saturday morning to
the call of White Salmon, where fire
originating in butcher shop swept
clean a block of old frame buildings.
The fire was sighted, however, just at
the opening hour, and most of the ten
ants of the burned over district, among
them an Office of the Pacific Power &
Light Co., were able to save the larger
part of their property.
The local firemen, called by the ring
ing Of the bell here, raced in automo-
5iles to the ferry landing and were
across the Columbia at the scene of
the fire in record time.
But for the comparative calm that
prevailed, White Salmon's loss would
nave been much heavier. Fire protec-
ton is meagre, and it was necessary
to fight the flames with garden hose
and buckets. The burned buildings
were located on the north side of the
towns principal business street. So
intense was the heat that much dam
age was done to structures on the south
side of the thoroughfare. Plate glass
windows were melted, and excitement
prevailed when fireworks, just received
for independence Day celebration, ex-
ploded in one of the scorched buildings.

Miss FERGUSON Gives Recital

Before an audience of 100, many of
whom were from Astoria, where the
gifted young woman was born and re-
sided for several years, and Hood Riv-
er, where the family now has an orch
ard home in the Odell community, Miss
Martha Ferguson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. E. Ferguson, recently gave a
recital of miscellaneous readings, an
expression recital lasting for an hour
and half, at the Gillespie School of
Expression in Portland.
The last two readings of her program
were 1.-THE Blood of the Apple, and
"A Dry Mooley in Strawberry Time, "
from Anthony Euwer's "Rhymes of
D ur Valley" Mrs. Virginia Euwer,
mother of the young valley poet, who
baked the famous strawberry shortcake
that inspired the DRY Mooley" rhyme,
was a member of the audience. Miss
Ferguson who is student of the Odell
high school, has won marked attention
here recently for her ability as an elo-
cutionist. She is l3 years ofIage.
