SCULLY APPEALS To FARMERS CLUBS
AlmOnt, Mich, Oct. Z

hihioIt, NlCu., OCC. %.
To the Farmers of the State Of Mich.
1gan; greetings.
l appeal to you who are now and al
ways have been in our country's past
crises, considered the bone and sinew
and red-blooded patriots OF this great
commonwealth in time of peace or
war.
The time has never been before that
your financial assistance would be OF
such great value to our government
and the whole world as now.
Reports from Secretary Mark T..
Mckee OF the Michigan Liberty Loan
Distribution Committee indicates that
we, as Farmers, are showing a lack Of
interest in subscribing for Liberty
Bonds. II cannot be that we are lack
ing in interest, but perhaps we are
not aroused to the great need of our
unlimited cooperation with the govern
ment
Let's fall in line and show the
enemy the handwriting on the wall
and in SO doing, stimulate our boys
in khaki.
To raise Michigan's quota of $685.
100000 as farmers we should buy
bonds to the extend of ten per cent OF
our this years income.
To buy this quota is our simple
duty.
Volunteer your Liberty Loan sub
scription to your local committee at
once and help win the war.

Suffrage Problem.

Now that New York has granted
women the vote il is waking I'd to
the fact that some Of them present
serious problem.
The American Naturalization
Committee finds that there are
considerably more than 100000
foreign. born women in the State
over Fl years of age Only neg
ligible number of them have been
naturalized through the courts, as
men must be, but a very large mum.
Der have married themselves into
citizenship. Consequently nobody
knows what their capacity for citi-
zenship is.
Ii Is certain, however, that many
of them have never learned English
and that they know little or MOTH
ing about their duties in their new
status as voting citizens. More
over. the illiteracy rate among the
foreign. born people in this country
is high, and is higher amc ne the
women than among the men.
Ii is no wonder. Therefore, that
the citation following the victory for
suffr. &c should be followed by
feeling resembling that of the morn
ing after. But New York is not
rueful. 1t is sobered and consider
ing, as it must, how TO make these
women, many of whom are alien
enemies in sentiment, into Ameri-

Some of the women belonging To
social and literary clubs in Topeka
are planning to organize women's
home guard for the town. There
have been about seventy such
organizations formed by the men
throughout the state since the
national guard went to war. but
this is the first instance where the
women are organizing. Mrs, Lillla
Day Monroe, prominent clubwoman,
is one of the advocates of the wo-
mems home guard. She says that
the ply steal training would do the
women much good, to say nothing
of the discipline. When the women
organize they will provide them
selves with uniforms and will be
ready to carry rifles, if necessary. in
the defense of their homes.

or over, either awaiting unloading

the various charitable or philan-
thropic organizations Of the city.
A u that is unfit for food will be
hauled away by the railways and

R. L. Evans OF the food admin
istration said: Through grossly
exaggerated statements published
about frozen potatoes which were
hauled to railway dumps in this vi
cinity, lot of people got the idea
there was a gigantic conspiracy to
boost prices by the wholesale de.
structiOn of food. An investigation
by federal officers proved the falsity
of isuch allegations Neither the
railroads, the shippers nor buyers
of potatoes were to blame for q

Coal Under Control.

Newly opened coal mines were
put under direct government con-
troll Friday by the fuel administra-
ton. which issued regulations
governing their operation and fixed
prices at which their output may
be sold. Development of further
new coal properties during the war
will be discouraged on the grounds
that old mines can be operated
more efficiently.
Operations classed as newly open
ed mines are those opened before
Sept l and ready 10 produce coal
by Jan. 1, 1918. After the mines
are producing at the rate of $50
tons day they will be permitted to
charge profit of is cents a ton
above the actual cost reproduction;
until then they may charge only
the present government-fxed prices.
The mines will be required to sub
nit to the fuel administration
monthly cost statements and the
only elements that will be permit,
ed to enter into costs of mining,
transportation, hosting and loading.
to which may be added not to ex-
coed one. half Of the cost of mine

Missouri is just waking up to the
fact that she has more opportunity
for development of water traffic
than any other state in the union.
A great work lies ahead of her in
this respect, and adequate terminals
and docks would make much of the
transportation in Missouri very
cheap. Railroads have not been
active in pushing this work for fear
that it would reduce the amount of
freight for them to carry.

Speaking of wise men as prophets
does anyone recall that when it was
urged in opposition to the entrance
of America into the war that it
would mean the sending of hun

exceed 10000 and that they would
be there only for the moral effect?

"U-Boat Has Failed. !"

Arthur Pollen. noted British war
expert, has made the following
statement to the Associated Press
on the submarine war,
Anything unsatisfactory in the
military and political situation in
Europe is balanced by the extraor-
binary news that the German sub
marine campaign has broken down
altogether. The submarine is de-
feated. This is the most momem-
tous event since the United States
declared war. 1t means we can all
stay in and that America can real
ly come in.
Six months ago shipping was
being destroyed according to some
authorities at a rate of 8 million
tons q year. Had this loss contin-
ued the Germans had the right to
expect not indeed dillitory victory
but peace that would mean some
I hing much less than defeat.
This was Germans only hope
and it was the Allies only anxiety.
Everyone knew that, with sea COM
m unication reasonably safe. the
military defeat Of the German army
was certain.
In the first fortnight Of Novem-
Der the rate of losses Of British tom
mage of ships greater than sixteen
hundred tons each has fallen to
about / million tons year The
present shipbuildine capacity of
Great Britain alone can make this
loss good in less than eight months.
At the rate America. Great Britain
and Japan are striving to attain,
we should replace this loss in less
than eight weeks The rate of loss
for the last week is actually less
than the annual toll of wrecks in
peace time 1t is an amazing devel-
opment, 1t is not to be expected
that losses can remain as low as
this. They must fluctuate. But
they should never cause US serious
uneasiness again.
In face of the revindication of
sea power, the greatest war achieve.
ment of the British, American and
allied navies in the last three and a
half wears, we may be sure that
there will be a reaction of optimism.
For Germany's defeat at sea is final,
universal and permanent, whereas.
Germany's successes on land are
local, partial and temporary And
her defeat at sea means that
Americas share in the war can be
and will be decisive"
