the anniversary of the declaration of
state of war between the United States
and Germany.
The amount. terms, and conditions of
the loan are dependent upon further
legislation and will be announced as
soon as Congress has granted the nee
essy powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 9Th of
April as the day to open the campaign
as the most fitting date to call for pa
triotic response to the summons to duty
to every American, to ask from the
people at home the same fervent patri-
otism that actuates our gallant sons on
the battlefields of France and on the
waters of the Atlantic.

Vienna Republicans held an old-time
enthusiastic caucus hast Saturday, de-
spite the unfavorable weather. One
hundred and sixty eight ballots. were
cast. and the feeling of party loyalty,
as well as of loyalty to the government
was very evident. w. w. Blackney,
at the request of those having the
Vienna Red Cross campaign in charge,
was present and made stirring appeal
for support of this great humanitarian
and patriotic enterprise. There were
one or two sharp contests in the caucus,
in which all of the contestants made a
creditable showing, and when the vot-
ing was over all accepted the result
with the best of feeling. The Demo-
cratic caucus failed to organize and
consequently did not place ticket in
the field. Following is the Republican
ticket:

Buy Big Tractors

Early this week M. C. Doyle drove
homo from Saginaw two 1920 Interna-
tional farm tractors which he had sold
to Messrs. ID. E. Montague & son
and Clark Hill, and which these gentle
men will use upon thier farms dnring
the coming summer. These tractors
use kerosene oil and are big, capable
fellows, able to disc and fit for seed
twenty acres of stubble or fall blowing
in single day. In plowing they are
able to pull gang of three plows and
consequently can turn over big field
in fraction of the time that would be
required for team to do the work, in
fact, it is said that under favorable con-
ditions they will do the work of ten
horses. Messrs Montague and Hill
have their farms all underdrained and
have for several years been preparing
to till them by the most modern meth
DDS, into which plan the tractors will
come as very important item. In
these times when labor is scarce and
highly paid. and when the safety of our
country demands the maximum of pro-
duction upon our farms, labor and time
savers, like these tractors, when they
can be used under proper conditions,
are matters worthy of careful consider
alton on the part of every progressive
farmer.

Under the efficient management of
E. E. Huyck and the Ladies Red Cross
Club systematic canvass of the town
ship is being made to secure aid for the
Red Cross and the results that are be-
ing met with by the various solicitors
are very gratifying. The plan is to
have every one give something each
month. which will render the burden
easy and the support steady. When
''Our boys" are offering their lives for
us no one can afford to refuse to make
every possible sacrifice in their behalf.
