WOULD GIVE FINE
PIG TO RED CROSS

NJ. A. Shuler. proprietor of Blue
Valley Farm, near Gray, was a county
seat visitor Monday. Mr.. Shuler is a
breeder of Big Boned Poland China
hogs. of which he has some very fine
ones, and he has generously offered
to donate a pig to be sold for the
benefit of the Red Cross. Plans for
the sale are beirg arranged and il is
hoped that this valuable pig may be
sold in such a way as to net big re-
turns for the Red Cross. Breeders
of the county are urged to be on hand
when this pig is sold and boost the
sale. In so doing they will not only
render a valuable service to the Red
Cross but will more than repay
them for their expense by bringing
their names favorably before the
public. This fins pig should bring
several hundred dollars by selling it
on the plan carried out extensively,
of each buyer giving 1t back to the
Red Cross for resale. Watch for the
date of sale and be on hand to do
your bit.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS; THRIFT.

War Savings Stamps spell patriotism
and those who purchase them show
that they are doing something for
America. 1t is the answer Of the
great mass of the American people to
the kaiser. He knows that the people
o. the United States are supporting
the war. il informed that the War
Savings Campaign was a success
However, il it is said that the people
did not respond to the War Savings
drive, the kaiser will infer that Amer
lea is not whole heartedly in the war.
Let us show the Teuton that we are
for justice, equality and right and
buy War Savings Stamps.

ATTORNEY WELLS
MAKES GOOD TALK

Preceding the play at Forgan
Thursday night, Attorney Stacy
Wells Of Beaver. made splendid
talk. Among other good things he
said:
THE Russian nation lays PROSTATE
to the ravishment Of the Huns, her
frontiers open. while her army has
resolved itself into a debating So
ciety, controlled by those who repro
sent the yellow streak in perverted
humanitarianism and who are now
bowling thru the streets of PetrO-
grad. chasing figments OF the imag-
nation
Nor is Russia the only country in
which the human nut has reached its
rarest fragrance. We have among
us an element which pays no taxes to
prosecute the war and will not will
ingly fight. yet stands for this self
conferred. spineless. theorizing, NOR
bid. law-defying and soul-pawning in
effectual internationalism, seeking to
excuse its cowardice in evading the
stern realities by empty vaporings
and drowning its conscience by be-
coming intoxicated by the efferves-
cence Of its own verbosity.
There is a doctrine of philosophy
called metempsychosis. or transmit
grafton OF the soul-the souls OF men
after death. In that philosophy, re-
turn to earth in other bodies. whether
human or brute. II that be true, and
! have a choice in the next cycle, !
should prefer to return in the form
OF lazy. leprous yellow cur. sore
eyed and NANCY, belonging to a de-
mented, drunken Arkansas niger,
spend the dreary days under the back
stoop OF my masters cabin, fighting
fieas, and the nights prowling for
sheep, than to come back in sem
blance and stature of a man. with the
instincts of a copperhead, snarling
and back-biting the government
while the Huns have their atrocious
and bloody fingers at the throat OF
humanity and my country.
But, thank God, the Red Cross has
kept her balance and with her head
well screwed on her shoulders, still
believes in virtue, self-sacrifice. and
the genuineness OF American democ
rscy, and she is now mobilizing the
heart and soul Of the richest nation
richest in resources, obligations
and opportunities--to bind tn,
wounds Of bleeding world"

had the occasion to hear Herbert
Hovoer speak three times at the re-
cent meeting OF the states publicity
directors. Whenever he referred to
Belgium he became changed man.
His first reference to Belgium was,
"There is no humor in the Belgian
situation" His last one was. Bel
GUM will always be our special
care" The first statement reveals
the horror OF the atrocities in that
country; the second, the debt of
gratitude that we owe those heroic
people. When speaking Of Belgium,
Hoover always looked down, his
mouth contracted, the lines of face
grew deeper-a living testimony TO
the fact that the tragedy was beyond
human utterance and that the an
guish had entered his soul.-Floyd Il.
