INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June IL
There comes a story from Washington
to the effect that State Senator Glenn
VanAuken of Auborn is an active and
perspiring aspirant for appointment as
United States marshal for Indiana. The
story says that Vice President Marshal
is constantly kept on the jump hither
and yon to escape the letters and petit
tions and things that are coming his
way in behalf of VanAuken. Marshall.

July. and who knows but that Storen
may be re-appointed?
The vice president feels that he has
enough on his hands at this time with

pointment that is a year in the future
Van Auken was one of the bipartisan
leaders in the senate. and he was also
a bitter partisan. He has been amply
and fully regarded as one Of the Steve
Fleming contingent in Democratic pol
itics. He comes from Fleming's dis
trict. This may give him healthy pull

blasphemous holy alliance 1t is a war
that cannot be fought without money.
Money stands for food; it stands for
shelter; it stands for medical aid for
the soldiers at the front. No woman
would deny her personal ministration,
but the ministrations must be made
through others.
Money that we put in Liberty bonds
stands for our tenderness; IL stands
for our patriotism. You are not re-
quired to give. only pledged to pay the
debt, Women should know that a Lib
erty bond is the written promise of the
whole United States to pay back the
amount invested, plus 315 per cent in
terest. This interest will be paid semi
annually. Liberty bonds are the safest
not subject, either principal or interest,
to any kind of taxation, except the in
heritance tax.
1t is not only a Liberty bond, but
loaned the government provides for our
security; ii provides for the welfare of
our men at the front; it provides for
brave little France and for glorious
England. and for Italy. and for all our
splendid allies struggling to shake off
the beast of ambition that sprang at
their threats three years ago.

impressed with the Hillenbrand brothers
