GIVE AND GIVE NOW

God knows, if God knows anything about war;
that this nation has been unprepared for war; for
years; was unprepared when it time to fathom
TINS world menace as it doomed up the pages of
recent history. With the exception of the English
navy whose potent influence to such progress as the
Allies have made has yet been fully realized,
all of what now Germanys enemies were UNI
prepared. And We are paying the piper and
the sooner we American citizens realize that we are
footing the flute that much will we achieve
victory. We will win. There is no doubt that We
are going to win unless the fundamental principles
underlying the advance civilization from the time
of Christ to the present hoax; but we want to
win without unnecessary sacrifice and the only way
to win in that manner is to give. And give now!-
Canton Daily Register.
Every day it grows increasingly apparent that
the will be settled in the West and that il will
have to be settled by the weight of fresh American
troops with every possible mechanical appliance de-
yeloped by the resourcefulness of nation that has
specialized in machinery. Events in Russia and Italy
are simply challenge to show whether we have the
ability and the nerve to do our share.-Kansas Star

the order on the express company
which he rendered me.
To man OF my quiet humdrum
ways all this had been interesting to a
degree. Often, too, those minor actors
in the drama, Sara Bruhl and Duff
Bracey, drifted into my mind, and one
day dropped into the office of the
United Bankers Protective associa
ton and told Resilius Marvel all the
details of the strange drama.
The portrait from abroad had mean

plenty of spare room for it in our spa

Then one morning there came a

turned from her vacation, and was get

Of her employer and the arrival OF
Miss Dunscombe, expected daily. She
said furthermore that Mr.. Dale had
advised her that would receive the
portrait shipped from abroad. If it
had arrived, she requested me 10 send
it UP to the house.
I had been SO particular in my past
attention to the directions Of Mr.. Dale
that I did not trust the picture to
strange hands. When the bank closed
that afternoon got two Of the pOrters
to carry the box containing the por-
trait from the vault and set it in a
taxicab l had ordered. It was about
six feet in length and half that In
width, well Grated, but not particularly
heavy nor difficult to handle.
What have we got there?" spoke a
familiar voice. and Resilius Marvel
strolled up to the side Of the machine
just as | got in.
"The box from abroad You know

"So?' nodded my friend, glancing
over the box critically with that OBJ
