DON'T STOCK UP.

It is not only selfish and unpatrio-
tic but foolish as we'll to rush to the
grocer and pay price for -four which
is inflated by the very panic of which
you are part. Calm down. Wholesal-
ers insist that the public is to blame
for much of the excessive cost of stap-
les, simply because they insist in a
body upon having one or more staples
in large quantities and at once. Buy
less, eat less and raise more, then
there will be enough to go around. ***

THE COUNTY DEFENSE COUNCIL.

What is this County Defense Coun-
CLIP ask many who also want to
know what good it can do and what
purpose calls it into existence The
Herald's answer is that for the pres
ent at least all defense councils, coun-
ty, state and national, have as yet but
one definite purpose and that is-or-
ganization. To be efficient, to work in
harmony as a national unit we must
organize. This great organization
with it's roots reaching down into each
city, village and township, will have
for it's branches the supreme council
at Washington. No one knows, or can
tell, what needs may arise for united
effort in this country. The needs and
purposes will gradually develop and
an organization Of patriotic men will
be ready to meet them.

NATURE AS A PHYSICIAN.

A Davenport man aged 35 years, ex-
perienced such a complete physical
break down last fall that doctors held
out but the faintest hope for his re-
cOvery.' He decided to take matters in
his own hands, be his own physician
and use as his only prescription fresh
air and exercise. So he started out
walking. Without definite destination
he set out jogging along easily toward
the west. Recently he arrived at San
Diego, Cal. He has walked 1884
miles, his weight has increased fifteen
pounds and it is all solid bone and
muscle. He looks and feels perfectly
we'll. The point of the story is that
had that man begun taking his own
prescription earlier and in smaller
doses, so radical treatment would
never have been necessary. Moderate
exercise and big gobs of fresh air
daily will not only keep the we'll in fit
physical condition but will, more sure
ly than any other medicine, build up
those who are below par.

LIBERTY LOAN BONDS.

They are nontaXable. If your city,
county and state taxes are three cents
on the dollar, not unusual tax, these
bonds are equivalent to ordinary COR
porate bonds or other investments
bearing 6h percent.
In addition, no Federal tax which
war conditions may later make neces-
sary will affect these bonds. The only
tax these bonds are subject to is the
inheritance tax, which applies to all
property of all kinds whatsoever.
HOW LIBERTY LOAN BONDS CAN
BE OBTAINED.
Blank forms of application for these
bonds can be obtained from the Treas
ury Department, any Federal Reserve
Bank, any National, State, or private
bank, or express office, and any post
office in the United States. Any bank
or postmaster will aid applicant in
filling out his blank and other acts
necessary to obtain these bonds.

VINE AS A DRINK.
Chicago Tribune.l


Wine utiliZes fruit which can be
spared for that purpose, we imagine.
The manufacture of it, if increased
might diminish the production Of some
of the jellies needed for the table,
but that does not seem probable. And
as a tipple a light wine is the nearest
approximation of harmlessness. 1t
also is or can be made a cheap bever-
age There is hardly French family
able to earn bread which is not able
to earn wine, because of the cheap
ness with which certain French wines
can be made and sold.
If Congress is to give the nation
prOhibitory measures designed to
save food supplies, we'd urge that the
grape be spared from the prohibition
If the drinking of light wines were
tolerated and the drinking of hard
liquors prohibited, a considerable pro-
gress toward the solving of the drink
question in the United States might
be made.
In this, as in a great many other
things, we may be wrong, but the ex-
pertinent recommends itself as Who'll
ly practical.

and so he takes heart Of fresh hope
that Nations, as we'll as men, ''May
rise on steppings stones of their dead

But it is mournfully true that there
have been nations which did not rise;
which died the death which knows no
resurrection, and are as a tale that
is forgotten, and vagrant dust blown
about on the winds of vanished times.
And he who reads to reflect, to
garner wisdom, to feed growing judg-
ment with the bread Of experience and
comparison, observes that each Of
these Nations, the mighty and the val

timid, that have fallen out of the

AMERICA-AND WAR.
June HeartS'S.

June Hearts's.)
The business of armies and fleets
is TO Kill and to MAIN, to capture so
many of an adversary people, and to
destroy so much Of their property that
they will submit to the will of the
killers and destroyers.
All that is brutal work. and unless
there is spiritual and physical gain
OF liberty and of human rights and
OF human happiness that outweighs
the suffering and the destruction
wrought by war, then the war is a
wicked and senseless thing. and
stands condemned in advance at the
judgment-bar of History.
True enough, war need not neces-
sarily win these gains to be justified
Of God and Man, because it is sadly
true that the Right often goes down
in the shock of battle. But is is nee
essary that the war shall be fought
to win these gains, else victory itself
is only a curse and the iron heated in
the furnace to scar the Nations soul.
And this that is true Of the strug-
giles on fields soaked with the blood
that pours from mems torn and an
guished bodies is just as true of
those struggles in which the invis-
ible battlefelds are red with the
blood and wet with the tears wrung
from torn and anguished human
souls.
Indeed, it is true that the sorrows
and agonies and wounds of peace are
as many and as bitter and. as deep as
those of war. And always there is
this difference, that the woe and
wounds and waste of war are the
dreadful incidents, often of the high
est and noblest sacrifice that men
gladly make for their people and for
the ages, while the sorrow and an
guish and hopelessness and despair
OF those who are trampled under foot
IN the industrial and competitive bat
ties OF peace are the direct, foreseen,
calculated results Of sordid greed and
mean and cruel avarice.
The President has spoken for his
people and declared to the world that
we have taken arms for no selfish
purposes, that America fights with
clean hands and for the rights and for
the uplifting of those who have been
hewers of wood and drawers of water
and bondsmen in the lands of their
fathers.
We say, Amen. Advance the stand

The Herald has a proposition for a
Republican letter from a Chicago
firm which retails boiler plate by the
yard, but we do not believe we will
use it. Partisan politics seem far
away and forgotten in these days of
"sturm and STRESS" when the average
man has forgotten his politics, wheth-
er republican or democrat, and aligns
himself either for or against the ma
TONS policy. Some day, no one can
tell when, we will be back on a peace
basis and then we can leisurely take
up and quarrel about the tariff, and
the other things that used to ruff1e
and stir us up in years back. Some
day we will become party men again
but for the present partisanship has
about as much interest to the average
American as the early Greek drama
would have to man in a wrestling
match with grizzly bear. Just now
raising foodstuffs, training armies,
building a navy yard and conserving
our supplies, takes our attention and
we wait, one and all, for the time Of
actual conflict.

The condition of the Russian people
at present is greatly analogous to
that of the French nation following
the days of 1889 and the great revolu-
ton France went on mad riot that
lasted four years until day when the

cal young man who watched the revol-
ution storm down the streets Of Paris
and later turned grape shot on the
mob. New born freedom often gains a
