A LITTLE GOOD MONEY SAVED.

A special appropriation bill was intro
uced in the House of Representative
October 10th. The amount asked for
was So, $50, 859 500, an amount one-third
larger than the last Liberty Loan. The
committee on appropriations very wisely
put crimp in the war departments am
btion to spend money, b. reducing the
appropriation about one third. Among
the items which call for the above enor-
nous outlay, was one for 500, 100000 to
enlarge the Neville Island ordnance plant
and this was one of the items stricken
out. This was done because the head of
Secretary Bakers ordnance bureau in
forr ed the committee that their new
program called for $4,000 new guns of
large calibre and that if the appropria-
ton was allowed they would be able to
finish the first gun early in 1920 Max
ing allowance for the usual delays and
change of plans, this gun would perhaps
be finished in season to be used in cele-
brating the defeat of the Democratic par
ty in November of that year. We do not
know but that would give the country
500, 900, 900 worth of satisfaction, but as
a means of winning this war that gun
would not be worth whoop.

HOW TO SELECT MEAT.

At conference attended by Secretary
Daniels of the Navy, Secretary Houston
of the Department of Agriculture, Mr.
Hoover of the Food Administration, and
representatives of the Quartermaster
General of the Army and of the Paymas-
ter General of the Navy, unanimous
agreement was reached that all future
purchases of beef for our Army, Navy
and Marine Corps and fighting forces of
the allies shall be made on basis of
quality, irrespective of weight. The rep
resentatives of the other departments
agreed that the Department of Aericult-
ure should select the meats on the basis
of quality through its inspectors at the
purchasing markets.
"In multitude of counsellers there is
WISDOM The distinguished men who
attended that conference are in possession
of degree of intelligence which is little
less than marvellous. Who but a Daniels,
a Houston, Hoover ct ais, would ever
have discovered that meats should be Sc
lected on the basis of quality.

Lieut.. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote

which the Y. w. c. A. is doing: "You
at home cannot fight with your lives,
but you can fight with your mercy.
The Y w. c. A. is offering you just
this chance. 1t garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind the

with munitions Of mercy that they
may be passed Oh to us. We need
such supplies badly. Give generously
that we may the sooner defeat the
Hun"
What Lieut.. Dawson says of the Y.
W. G. A. he might have said of all the
national organizations which are COM
ing together for the biggest financial
campaign that organizations have ever
headed. All the $170, 100000 to be
raised by the seven great national Or

Bogus Book Agents.

Agents in many places are canvassing
from door to door with publications pur-

The Food Administration has been re-
quested to warn people in Maine that no
publications have been authorized by the
Government. The publications issued
by the Government are always given
away or sold at cost, or in the case of GER

UNITED WAR WORK DRIVE.

When people give money they ought to
know and have right to know, whether
or not a good use is to be made of it.
Waldo county is asked to raise about
$40, 900 to be used by the associations en-
Gagged in the Omitted War Work Cam
paign." The money to be raised is IN
no sense an expenditure for charitable
purposes, but is a small instalment on
our debt to the men who have left COM
fort, home and dear ones, to fight for us
who stay at home. We publish an arti-
Gle this week which tells the whole story
clearly and truthfully. We feel very
proud of the fact that we have in this
county, oversubscribed our quota of the
several issues of the Liberty Loan, but
we should not forget that we have some
thing to show for our money. We IRE
no poorer. The support which we have
given to the Red Cross and to the Y. M.
C. A. was not for bonds, but for human
ity. The money, which the writer knows
will be Forthcoming for the United War
Work Campaign, is for humanity
which is not only very near and dear to
us, but which will be cheered and ma
terially and morally benefited by the mes
sages which reach them from home, in
the way they are daily given by tie diff
ferent associations who are to be financ-

They are Always Huns.

Conditions in Russian territory occu-
pied by the Germans are described in an
official Russian wireless message, which
says: From all regions now in German
occupation it is reported that the German
military authorities are carrying off
everything that it is possible to take to
Germany. They are devastating the
country. In White Russia there are no
horses and no cattle because the Germans
have taken them all. In the regions where
evacuation is pending the fields remain
unsown because the Germans have left
no seed. Children are dying of starvation:
Milk cannot be obtained. Household
furniture, Geographic and telephone in
struments and appliances from many
towns have been sent to Germany. The

wrecked and useless cars being left be-

Here and there Democratic speaker
denies that President Wilson ever used
the expression too proud to fight" He
used this expression May 10, 1915, three
days after the sinking of the Lusitania.
The place was in Philadelphia. The ex-
preston may be found recorded on page
1T of estate Papers and Addresses by
Woodrow Wilson," published by the Re-
view of Reviews. 1t reads as follows:
There is such thing as man being too
proud to fight. There is such thing as
a Nation being so right that it does not
need to convince others by force that it
is right" Yes, there is such thing"
but three days after the Lusitania was
torpedoed was not exactly the time when
the occasion demanded such a man or
such a nation.

Belgian Indemnity.

The Belgian Government is already
preparing with great minuteness its
schedule of damages, for which it will
demand indemnity from Germany. Let
US hope that it will make thorough job
of it, not overlooking nor abating a single
farthing's worth of such losses as can be
computed in pecuniary terms. And when
that is done, let the complete satisfaction
of that claim be the memorable sine qua
non of peace for Germany and of her re-
newed intercourse with the civilized
world. Belgium suffered the first blows
from the felonious bully of Potsdam, and
has suffered the worst spoilation and
ravishment; and she must have the first
and fullest reparation. Less than that
would be dishonor to the world.

Sour Stomach
Mi.o-na Puts the Stomach IN Fine Shape
in Five Minutes.

If your stomach is continually kicking
up a disturbance; you feel bloated and
distressed; if you belch gas and sour food
into the mouth, then you need Mi-o-na
Stomach Tablets.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets give instant
relief, of course, but they do more; they
drive out the poisonous gases that cause
fermentation of food and thoroughly
clean, renovate and strengthen the stom-
ach so that it can readily digest food
without artificial aid.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are euaran-
teed to end indigestion, acute or chronic,
or money back. This means that nerv-
business, dizziness and biliousness will dis
appear. Druggists everywhere and A. A.
Howes & Co. sell Mi-o-na.

Mr.. McAdoo has said that money would

are engaged in emergency poultry work,
held meeting not long ago in Kansas

campaign for the efficient production of
poultry and eggs" We obtained the
above facts from the "War Work Week
ly No. 49," which is issued from the pub
lie printing office in Washington. This

not profitable to keep hens unless they
lay eggs enough to pay for what they eat.

the Jewish Welfare Board, the American

The Job Must Be Finished.

Any military disaster to Germany is generally
foliowd by peace offer of some sort Heretofore
conception on the part of their authors of the allied
war aims.
And the latest effort is just as stupid as its
predecessors
Evidently they proceed on the theory that the
war aims of the allies can be satisfied by giving up
their gains in Wstern Europe in exchange for
allied consent to Germany having free land in
Russia.
There is no possibility for any such dcker.
Doubtless the German diplomats understand that
thoroughly, and will propose such peace terms only
for propaganda purposes-to give pacifsts here and
in the allied countries something to talk about
There is greater danger in secret negotiations
said to be under way between the captains of in
dustry of the contending powers.
There have been many indications of dissatisfac-
ton on the part of men like Herr Baln and other
business men Of Germany with the way things are
going. German industry is all shot to pieces and
her bankers, manufacturers and shippers see long
years of trouble ahead when this war< is finally
ended
They see the industries of Germany, which were
making such rapid headway before the war, making
an uphill fight in hostile world markets after the
war-trying to re-establish business relations with
civilized world that had learned to loathe the Hun
And they realize, of course, that the sooner
peace comes the better for them.
But they too late. The allies are not now
fighting for land or for dollars. They can't consist
emily agree to peace that leaves the world half
slave and half free They can't throw Russia to the
dogs-or any part of the Balkans-in order to make
peace that will last only long enough for Germany
to organize Russia and start another war to con-
quer the world
The chief war aim of America and the allies now
is clearly understood. 1t is to wipe the Prussian
autocratic menace off the face of the earth and
make another such as this one impossible
The job must be thoroughly done that no
future kaiser, however, crazy, will become inspired
with dreams of world conquest-so thoroughly done
that no people on earth will stand for such mad
rulers. .-:'
