FARM LAB0RERS ARE READY
 BUYERS OF LIBERTY BONDS

One of the big surprises of the Lib erty Loan Campaign in rural districts is the way in which the farm laborers are responding to the call.
 These men neither own farms nor rent them; they are hired men and are not considered thrifty or saving group, yet thousands of these laborers are asking about the loan and how they can invest on the installment plan.
 The farmers of the country are thor oughiy awake to the critical situation confronting the nation and the triple duty they have taken upon themselves, is first to produce food, second to loan money, and third to give their sons and daughters some evidence of the self sacrificing spirit for which the American farmer is we'll known in the history of the country.

WORKERS HAVE MORE AT
 STAKE THAN ANY OTHERS

strong appeal to the workingmen of this country to participate in the second Liberty Loan to the fullest ex- tent has been made by William B. Wilson, secretary of labor.
 Secretary Wilson points out that the workers have more at stake in this great conflict than any others, because it is only in democracy that the common people can come into their Own'
 "The great European war in which we are now involved came to the peo- pie of the Western Hemisphere as a terrible shock, and to no portion of the people did it come as a greater shock than to the wage-earners of the United States. They believed in and wanted international peace, but they wanted it on a basis of international justice which would insure the right of our people to govern themselves. When the Imperial German Govern ment undertook to destroy the lives of our people and to impose a rule of conduct upon us without our consent in places under the jurisdiction of the United States government, there was no course left but to resist" Secre- tary Wilson said.
 "The workers have more at stake in this conflict than any others, be- cause it is only in democracy that the common people can come into their own. The great privilege is not given to all of us to serve our country on the battlefield or in the trenches, but there are other ways in which we can serve and assist those who are privi- legged to carry our flag on the battle fields of Europe. The impulse of sac rif1ce for the common good is sending the youth of our country into the trenches in defense of Liberty, hu- manity and democracy.
 "To those of us who must of neces- sity remain at home to till the soil, harvest the crops, man the factories, mines and mills, the way is open for additional service. We too must make sacrifices. The men who go forth to do battle in the field must be equipped and sustained. Funds must be forth canning to furnish he food, the fire arms and other supplies for the fight ing forces of the nation. Finances for that purpose must be secured inn mediately from t he sale of bonds. The workers can help by contributing their mite.
 - Combined Efforts Will Win. q am reminded of the fable of a great drought when the crops were wasting for the want of water, and one little raindrop said to another in the clouds, I would like to go down to the relief of the farmer and his per ishing crops, but am so little it would be useless And another little rain- drop replied, It would be useless for you to go down alone, but let us all go down and our combined effort will bring the needed relief Teh advice was accepted and a beautiful shower poured down on the land and the crops were saved for the harvest. And so it is with the workers. The funds each has available is but drop, but all of the drops together can make a shower of funds that will furnish the needed supplies, bring joy to the hearts of the boys at the front and consternation to our enemies," Secre- tary Wilson declared.

volume of official recipes is about a dozen years old. It has been collected rom many sources by many wise men adorned with uniforms and backed by general orders; but it's choicest and best originated in the instinctiye inimitable methods of Aunt Diana. who concocted her champion waffles by "jes' tastin'.''
 Credit to Old Sergeant.
 In fact, large majority of the good and fine points in Uncle Sam's daily menu for his Sammies is due to an old commissary sergeant of Fort Riley. His name was Dunne, and he was one of those "born to the griddle," who has the same advantage over the orli- nary aspirant to kitchen honors that kubelik had from birth over the little girl next door.
 lie was not man of education in the ordinary acceptance of the word. put he was a first-class army cook. On scraps of wrapping paper or old bills he kept copy of every recipe he had ever tried. These were edited by Colonel Holbrook then in command at Fort Riley, and published in a little book called Methods of Handling Army Rations," which has developed into the Manual for Army Cooks" the textbook in the army schools for cooks and bakers started in 1900 by Com, Gen. Sharpe, now quartermaster gen. eral. And a perusal of It's contents, after sampling the results of its coun- sel, leaves one little sympathy with the words fitted years ago to the bugler's regular mess call:

Smith ENDS CAMPAIGN TANHAUSER CANBESOLD
Commissioner Peters Defeated by
Richmond Jury in hs Case
Against Kansas City Company.

Tanhouser, beverage manutactur-
ed by the Royal Brewing Company,
of Kansas City, may be sold in Vir-
einia without violating the prohlbl-
tion act, according to a verdict rem
dered last night by a jury in the
Hastings Court. The case was that
of w. C. Herbert, local distributor OF
the drink, who was indicted for SELL
ing it after it had been ordered
off the market by Commissioner Of
Prohibition Peters. He was adjudged
not guilty by the jury.
The outcome of the trial is a de-
feat for Commissioner Peters in his
fight to drive from the State certain
so-called soft drinks, which had been
described by State chemists as malt
liquors.
Though criminal proceeding,
counsel for the prosecution moved
that the verdict be set aside. The
motion was promptly overruled by
Judge D. c.. Richardson. This motion
was made because it is the intention
Of the Commonwealth to appeal the
case to the Supreme Court Of Appeals,
if such action is not in violation OF
the State Constitution. The proceed
ing is regarded in legal circles as
unusual, but it is claimed to be pro-
vided for in section 45 of the Pro-
hibition Act, which gives the State the
right Of appeal in certain cases.
The trial started On Friday, and
instructions were not given to the
jury until yesterday morning. The
court instructed as follows:
"That under the law, the term
ardent spirits includes all malt liq-
uors.
That the term malt liquors, as used
in the statute and in these instruc-
ticns, means any liquid beverage or
drink containing malt to any appre-
ciable extent.
''That the jury must disregard all
Of the statements Of the witness, Dr.
Cross, which were based in whole or
in part upon the statements maoc to
him by other persons on the occasion
of his visit to the plant of the Royal
Brewing Company.
'That the question for the jury to
determine in this case is whether or
not the liquor analyzed by DR.. Brad
bury and described in his certificate
was malt liquor, and if the jury
believe from the evidence, beyond" all
reasonable doubt, that such liquor
was a malt liquor. as above defined,
and that it was sold by the accused
that it will be the duty of the jury
to find the accused guilty as charged

daylight, feeling strangely uncom-

"Finallv I became wide awake

And the thing had its mouth rlgnt

! Sturtevant admits he was badly
frightened and, exerting what little
strength the cat had left him, he
grabbed it by the back of the neck
and threw it through the open win
dow. 1t is now at large somewhere
in the city.
Sturtevant said he then dropped
back upon the bed to recover his
strength and nerve.

SINKING OF SUBMARINE

Portuguese Torpedoboat Attacks
German Destroyer, at Cape Verde
Islands.
Boston, Feb. 27.--The sinking OF
German submarine in the hsrbor Of
St. Vincent, Cape de Verde Islands,
by two Portuguese torpedoboats on
the night of January l, was Ges-
cribed here by Arthur j. Jeffs, OF
New York, formerly third engineer
on the British steamer Eddie, who
claims to have witnessed the attack.
Jeffa arrived yesterday on the Nor
wegian steamer Fagerness,. which
stopped at the islands on its way
from Calcutta. He said the submarine
was attempting to cut the cable to
England when it was attacked by tor
pedoboats and sunk by shellfire.
One shot apparently pierced the
submarines hull, Jeffa said, and pre-
vented her from submerging. The
undersea craft then circled the EDDIE
several times, maneuvering for an OPP
portunity to launch a torpedo, but
the two torpedoboats finally caught
the submarine between them. They
opened up with their rapid frers and
the u boat, with her hull riddled,
sank suddenly.

TUE1 1LAYNENS LEAGUEIDENAND ORNEW TRUCK
Members of Committees of the City
Council Discuss Advisability of
Recommending Purchase.

Members of the fire committee o.
the City Council at a meeting las
night discussed with members of thu
finance committee of that body tilt
advisability of recommending to tn
city councils the purchase OF new
truck to take the place Of the present
Relief hook and ladder truck. AS
has been stated in Council the ap
paratus now in use is declared very
much dilapidated and has outlived its
usefulness after being in service
about third of a century. Should
new one be purchased it is stated
that it will be a motor vehicle.
The regular semi-monthly meet
ing of the City Council will be held
tonight, at which time report may
be submitted on this pressing want
The need of a modern hook and lad
der apparatus in case of fires has
long been apparent. Such a contrI-
vance is often indispensable, and it
is generally conceded if the city must
procure this adjunct to our fire de-
partment it would be useless waste
of money to purchase one of the Old
fashioned makes which would be in
viting repairs all the time, as has
been the case with the present truck.
The committee on general laws
NAV also submit report on reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Harrison
in the Board of Aldermen recently
looking to the codifcation of the city
laws. Printing all the laws which
have been adopted by Council during
the past two-score or more years to-
gether with those previously enacted
would fill book probably as large
as a Bible, but, as was suggested to
representative Of the Gazette by
a conservative city official recently,
it would be unnecessary to emorace
all the special ordinances. Only those
which provide penalties for their In
fraction would be necessary, and such
could be embraced in q book not much
larger than the code of 1874.
It is generally hoped that this
measure will be pushed through as
soon as possible, as at present the
laws of the city are in fragments and
difficult to find at times.

in the Parish hall last. evening tr
listen to the address given by THEN
president, DR.. George T. Klipstein
who spoke on "The Creation of Man
from a Medical Aspect"
DR.. Klipstein made use of several
charts and gave a most interesting
and instructive description OF the
bony, muscular, circulatory, digestive,
nervous and respiratory systems OF
the human body and explained how
they performed their functions and
made up the perfect man as intended
by the Creator. He cited the laws of
God as given through his servant
Moses and spoke of mans violation
of these laws by committing the
many sins of which he is guilty,
which, through repentance and
prayer, God would forgive, but said
chat the sins committed by the parent
would be visited on the children even
unto the third and fourth generations.
DR.. Klipstein concluded his address
with beautiful description or man
as having been made in the image of
God and his body as the temple for
the >indwelling of the Holy Ghost.

Judge Louis C. Barley. next re-
sponded to call and spoke very en-
tertainingly upon the subject of per-
sonal service. In the course OF his
remarks he stated that in his opinion
man would be held more responsible
for his sins of omission than for
those Of commission, and that he would
pe responsible ~in 4 large degree for
not having brought his brother to the
knowledge of Christ and through him
the redemption of sin.
A buffet luncheon was served at
the conclusion Of the address ani
pleasant social hour enjoyed by all
in attendance.
