Almost Unanimous in the Purchase
Of Liberty Bonds.
Only Two Men Out of Crew of Ninety
Refuse to Purchase Govern
ment Bonds.

Let's all give three cheers fol
the boys working at the plant
of the Kenfield-Lamoreaux com.
pany for we hardly believe there
is another institution Of the size
in the United States that car
show such a record in the pur,
chase Of Government Liberty
Bonds.
Think of it almost one hun,
dred per cent loyalty, among
persons of different nationalities
and there are nearly one hun
dred people employed at the in
stitution.
When bond solicitors went tt
the Kenfield-Lamoreaux plant
on Tuesday they were given as
sistance by Manager Gackowski
Foreman Joanis and Engineer
Charles l.. Olson, and when the
solicitors left the plant about
one hour later there were only
two men at the plant that haC
not subscribed for the Liberty
bonds of the second issue.
Talk about your patriotism II
was there and was manifest
One young man subscribed fol
one bond, thought the matter
over while at his work, anC
hailed the canvassers back an(
took out more bonds. Others a
the factory have increased theil
purchases.
Now why shouldn't we give
three cheers for these boys.

HsMoYie" Exhibitors are Patriotic

Washingtop, D G., October 1917.
rhe United States Civil Service
Commission has received an ex
preston of the patriotism of prac-
,cally all the exhibitors of motion
pictures in the United States. The
Government is IN need of thousands
Of typewriter operators and stenog-
raphers Of both sexes for war work
in Washington, and through It's
5000 local boards of examine RS o
that many cities. the Commission
requested the owners and managers
of motion picture theatres to allow
free of charge an announcement on
three screens of this need of the
Government. The refusaIs were so
few as to be negligible. Not more
than hundred of the 1000 odd ex-
hbitors who were approached de-
clined to render 10 the people the
service asked. Even these cannot
be charged with disloyalty; most of
them held decided views as to their
duty to their patrons who pay for
entertainment only. The only
criticism OF the Government came
from three exhibitors who declined
on tho ground that it was proposed
to place a tax on motion, picture
tickets. One owner asked re
enumeration in the sum of % cents a
week, and another stipulated that
he was to be relieved of any re
sponsibility for damage to the slides
furnished by the Government. The
slides cost less than 10 cents apiece
Almost without exception The
movie" men were not only willing
but were even eager to serve the
Cover nment in the manner request
ed. This hearty response from 20,
900 business men representative o
every part of the country has {
striking signiticai ce. 1t is interest
ling to note in this connection tha'
the estimated daily ATTIC ndance a
motion picture shows in the United
States is ten million This allow!
an average OF 800 for each house.

Dear Friend Levi.

Dear Friend Levi.
Your very welcome letter Of
Aug. 23rd came as a most pleas
ant surprise. 1t was a most
char ming letter and I'm afraid
I'Il never be able TO do half so
we'll. I'll do my best however.
1t will surprise you to know |
am back in Blighty once sgain,
Blighty is commonly known
amongst the British troops as
England. 1t is really an Indian
word and it means home. Ifa
fellow gets a wound he terms it
Blighty.
I got Blighty but l was not
wounded this time. | was
merely all in and unfit for active
service for a few months. so the
doctor sent me back here to re-
cuperate.
I quite enjoy this after a
couple of years out there. 1t is
like a peaceful paradise after the
wear and tear of war. Believe
me Levi it is no joke out there.
I've often wondered bow I've es-
capped with my life. All my old
pals are done for. Either wound
ed and crippled for life or killed.
Oh it is He'll alright. While /
was out there I wanted to write
and tell you just what the life
really was like but could not
owing to the strict censorship.
However there is no such CEN
sorship here so l will give you
an idea Of what I've been doing.
To begin with, ! fought all
through the big battle of the

near Xmas. It was the biggest
battle with the exception of the
battle for Ypres, Arras. Lens
etc. which occurred this sum.
mer and is still in progress.
Some of the hardest fighting
was fought by the Canadian
troops at Hill 20 and Vimy, Lens
was also hard work and we have
lost lot of good men there.
However we have the satisfaction
of knowing there are more dead
Huns than Canadians. Last
March l was in the cavalry
action between Bapaume and
Peronne. It was good sport
but we suffered from cold and
hunger. because all the bridges
and roads were blown up so the
transports could not follow US
up. However it might have been
worse.
I've had. some close calls but

I've often wished for bullet sc
| l could get away from the horror
of it all but none came and now
I'm glad it didn't for I'm en-
| ioying this life to nicety.
Well Levi your description o.
the old burgh and home made
| me feel quite sad for momen
but it was a pleasant sort of sad
ness. How I longed to be there
to see all the old faces ant
scenes.
I was surprised to hear yor
were doing so we'll in the land o
Icommercialism and | wish yol
every success.

fortunate and this war has pu
one back a great deal. Howeve

People Anxious to Help
Win War
If You Do Not Hold a Libery Bond You
Fare Not In the Swim in
WaShburn.

Washburn people are deter
mined to make the world safe
for demScracy. When Kaiser
Bill hears the report of the Lib
erty Bond sale in Washburn he
is going to feel his throne totter
for if the rest of the United
States does as we'll, and it is ex-
pected that it will. the German
Military Power will be convinced
that the people of the United
States are in the war to win and
Germany might as well holler
for peace at any price.
Washburn made. a wonderful
showing in the campaign which
will close tonight and there is
hardly family in the city that
will not be in possession of a
Liberty Bond. The few that
have failed to obtain their bond
may apply at either of the banks
tomorrow, for those who not
possess a bond will be classed
with the mighty small minority.
The bond convassers an sftEeir
captains did a mighty good job.
They went at the work with a
vim, with determination to put
this city on the map as being
thoroughly loyal through and
through, and they have accom-
plished the result desired.
$50, 1000, which was Washburn's
share TO raise, looked like big
sum, but the way the people OF
the city came across was enough
to make anyone feel proud of the
fact that he was resident of
the city. Everyone wanted to
do his or her share, and they did
it.
The campaign was announced
on Monday noon with sounding
of whistles and bells, but che
campaign did not begin in real
earnest until Tuesday when the
ward captains and their canvass
ers began securing the city.
Then the totals began piling UP
so fast that it was hard to keep
track of the amounts.
On Tuesday night the captains
and the canvasserS gathered al
the Commercial Club to compi'e c
their figures and oh what q
showing had been made during
the first day. AS each captain
reported the work of his crew
there were cheers and then more
cheers and when the total was
announced more than $4,000
had been subscribed for the day
with figures from the plant yet
to come in.
Just think of it, 80 per cent Of
the allotted amount raised in {
single day-wasn't that enough
to make the canvassers happy
and determined to greatly over
subscribe the amount.
Men and women in all walk:

CAUSES OF HIGH COST OF LIVING

How are these facts about the high cost
of living IL be- explained.
We find in popular discussion a great
variety of cauScs assigned for the high
cost of living. such a. speculation. the
middle man. foreign demand. destruction
from war. labor unions. short hours at la
Dor. trusts. the tariff. cold storage. longer
hauls on railroads. marketing by telephone.
the free delivery system. the individual
package. the enforcement OF sanitary laws,
the tuberculin testing of cattle. the de
struction of tainted meat. sanitary MILK
advertising. unScientiiic management, The
elimination of renovated butter and 81
.'rots" and "spotS" in eggs. food adultcr-
alton. extravaganza. concentration of
populations in cities. impoyerishment Of
the soil. the displacement of the neishhor-
hood farmer. the fact that farmers wives
no longer compete in butter making or
poultry raising. drought, and of late.
hoardin. of housewives. While some of
these alleged causes are important factors
in raising particular prices. not a single
one of them has much 10 do with raising
the general levc! OF prices.
MONEY DOMINATES.
There i a fundamental common cause
underlying the general upheaval and that
cause j. money. Few realize that the
quantity of money has anything Ia do with
the price of j commodity. still less that the
quantity Of money has ANYTHING to do with
the general level of prices. Since we ak
always in terms of money and live IN a
money atmosphere. n II were. We become
as unconscious of II a. We do of the air
we breathe.
Even the war. which j. nj bottom the
chief reason for the high cost Of living,
has the facts shown. raised the prlce level
lar more through monetary initiation than
through causing a scarcity OF goods.
Throughout history and even during war,
the present one being no exception,
changes of the price level have, IN general

which we pay out in checks, and which
changes relatively to money We must
further take into account the rapidity of
circulation Of both true money and deposit
currency and finally, We must take int"

that the price level changes in the same di-
rcction with money and deposit currency
and their rapidity of circulation. and in
