OIL UPON THE WATERS.
Why Il Tames the BlIows and Gains
tho Troubled Sea.

Why Il Tames the BiIIows and Gains
the Troubled Sea.
Waves in midOcean are caused en-
tirely by the action Of the wind. The
adhesion between the rapidly moving
particles Of air which compose the
wind and the surface particles Of the
water causes the waters surface to be
dragged along with the air. Small
ripples are Immediately formed. These
rlpples soon Overtake others near them.
They unite, and. due to the friction be.
tween the water particles, each sue
ceeding ripple piles up ON the top Of
previous ones.
Just as soon as oil is spread upon the
water, however, the size of the waves
is reduced like magic. The reason for
this is interesting.
Oil, unlike water, has very little in
ternal friction between it's particles.
The rippies Of Oil formed by the wind
therefore cannot pile upon each other to
any considerable height; hence water
waves cannot grow in an area Of oil
placed about a steamer. They begin
to fall down instead. BY the time
these waves reach the boat they will
have lost their formative ripples, and
the result is a perfectly calm surface
over the portion Of the sea through
which the boat is making it's way

ENEMIES TO SUCCESS.
Learn to Avoid Timidity, Shyness or
SELF consciousness.

Learn to Avoid Tinidty, Shyness or
Self Consciousness.
Timidity, shyne.s and self conscious
ness belong 10 the same family. We
usually find all where we find any one.
and they are all enemies of peace or
mind, happiness and achievement. No
one has ever done a great thing while
his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
find ourselves. Self analysis is valu-
able only to learn our strength; 1t is
fatal if it makes us dwell upon our
weaknesses.
Timid, shy people are morbidly self
conscious. They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turned
inward; they are always analyZing, dis
secting themselves, wondering how
they appear and what people think of
them. If these people could only for
get themselves and think Of others they
would be surprised to see what free
dom, ease and grace they would gain,
what success In life they would achieve
Thousands OF young people are held
back from undertaking what they long
to do and are kept from trying to make
real their great life dreams because
they are afraid to jostle with the world.
They shrink from exposing their sore
spots and sensitive points, which smart
from the lightest touch. Their super
sensitiveness makes towards Of them.

Sleet and Slush.

In the interest of accuracy the
weather bureau some time ago urged
the use of the word tornado" for 'cy-
clone" when the meaning is violent
storm of small diameter. In the same
interest it now offers glaze for
"seet" The official description OF
sleet is small globules of rain that
freeze before they strike the ground
When the rain freezes on. trees and
buildings the condition is glaze.
and when the @!aze is severe and there
is a strong will,i it is an lice storm.
But not even the weather bureau is
likely to find a substitute for ''slush.

A BUSINESS MANS PATRIOTISM

In this issue Of the News appears
what is perhaps the most interesting
and striking advertisement that we
have published in many months. 1t
comes from the man who is noted for
both his originality of ideas and for
his disposition to be useful. Readers
of the News will quickly appreciate
the value of this advertisement when
they read it, and we would not have
one reader go over this issue without
seeing it.
There is scarcely any mention of
the Trip stores in this page nor is
there any apparent attempt to ac-
complish anything but to help Uncle
Sam in the sale of Liberty Bonds.
1t makes easy such sale and doubtless
will afford many patriotic men and
women the opportunity to participate
in the floating of the Bonds who would
otherwise be forced by their circum-
stances to deny themselves this great
patriotic privilege.
Mr.. Trip has already given 5000
in Allegan and Van Buren, counties
to the Red Cross and the Soldiers
Comfort fund and is subscribing for
$4,000 worth Of the new Liberty
Bonds, while as a business man he is
borrowing money all the time at six
per cent. He surely shows a high
notion of mans duty to his country.
The News is of the opinion that if
one or two of the leading business
men in every county in Michigan
would follow Mr.. Trips example the
task of floating Michigan's quota Of
the loan would be solved.-Allegan

WENT OUT TO FIGHT THE ENEMIES OF FREEDOM

But the United States faces far cruel and
deadly foe than did in 81 76. 1t faces foe that
stops nothing foe that wounded soldiers and
posons wells and butchers and girls and innocent
babes
And to fight this foe we've got have food and
men and guns. We've got to have money. We've got
have billions and billions of dolars-or else we'll lose
this and the Prussan ends will do the American farms
what they did to the farms in France and Belgium
They'll destroy orchards and growing fields they
destroyed the farms and growing fields of France and
Belgium. They'll poison wells they poisoned the
wells there. And those farms that they don't
destroy they'll make Americans slaves under guard
of German guns fill the granaries of Germany and to fill
the Golfers of Berlin.
Not only that but they'll torture wounded soldiers
and torture wives and mothers and violate girls
and butcher Babes because that's the kaiser idea of
making That's why appeal to every farmer in
America now to buy United States Government Liberty
Bonds and buy as many of them he possibly
We need every dollar that be raised. 1t is just
important that every farmer buy all the Bonds he
possibly that he raise all the food that he
1t is just as important buy Liberty Bonds is to
send your boys to the trenches to fight For the
brave American boys can't possibly win unless back
them up with all the money we've got.
We urge you go to the nearest bank and arrange
to get your Bonds at United States Government
Liberty Bonds the safest and surest form of investment
in the world You will get Four per cent interest your
moneyand if you should need to you sell your
Bonds and get the cash, you borrow them
Moreover your income from these Bonds will be free from
all state, county, municipal and normal income taxes
We have reached period when every man of honor
must be willing to strain point to help the United States.
What good would your farms be to if Germany should
win? What good would your houses and barns to be to
you America lost her freedom and crushed beneath
the iron heel of Prussia? What good would anything be
if American farmers reduced to the condition of the
