TAKING LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS OUT IN TRADE

Il hope that the merchants of the
country, upon . more careful consider
alton of the subject, will discontinue
their efforts to sell merchandise and
take Liberty Loan Bonds in payment"
says Secretary McAdoo.
The Secretary states that he has no
doubt that merchants offering to take
Liberty Loan Bonds in exchange for
merchandise are actuated by patriotic
motives, but that such transactions
tend to defeat q primary object of the
bond sales, as they discourage thrift
and increase expenditures. Bonds so
taken in exchange in most cases are
Immediately sold in the open market
which tends to suppress the market
price and adversely affects sales of
future issues.
The strongest efforts are made by
the Treasury Department to have
these Government bonds purchased for
permanent investment by the people
and paid out of savings, thus not
only providing funds for the Govern
ment but effecting conservation of la
Dor and material; exchanging them for
purpose.

THE MAN AND THE MOUSE

1t is not the policy Of the Grit-Ad-
vocate to indulge in malicious state
ments through its columns, and it is
our earnest desire to treat our fellow:
men in fair and impartial manner,
refraining from exercising our per-
sonal feelings in connection with
publishing newspaper. We believe
in publishing a newspaper for the
benefit of the community in which it
circulates, and not for "blackguard-
ing" purposes. The newspaper that
continually engages in the practice
Of attacking individual citizens for
the sole purpose of satisfying an in
dividual grudge which the editor may
ave, is detriment to the community,
to say the least
1t is the duty of a newspaper to view
matters on a broad scale, and in using
its privileges of publicity, the news
paper should work for the welfare of

either be = MAN or a Mouse" and we
I presume he wants an answer. In de-
tense of ourself in the matter, we will
state frankly that we ere not going to
I worry in the least as what his verdict
shall be; but we do want to impress
the fact upon the people of Sedgwick
county that it is our honest endeavor
to give all fair and square deal thru
the columns of the Grit-Advocate, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations or creeds.
We do not wish to be classed as q pub
LEGATION that stoops to such "Up-Man-
y" practices as to attack an iudivid-
usl, call him vile names, ETC., in order
to satisfy personal grudge that we
might have because that individual
was "in bad" in a personal way with
the editor. A newspaper has a much
better missiont to perform, than for the
editor to allow his personal grievances
to be "aired" through his columns.
Our policy is to serve the people of
the community as whole, and not a
few individuals, and We have tried to
put this policy into effect to the best
of our ability We admit that it is
impossible to please everybody, but
we are doing the best we can to give
Selgwick county and adjacent terri
tory newspaper worthy of the splen-
did support We are receiving. Can the
editor of the Sedgwick Sun say as
much-if he will but look back over
the past, and review his activities dur
ing his administration of the Sun?
Has he put forth his best efforts to
boost for his Home Town" and for
Sedgwick county. or has he register
ed knock" against practically every
movement pertaining to public welfare
of town and county? Citizens of
Sedgwick county! we leave the verdict
up to you as to who is the Man, and
who is the Mouse-relative to clean
and progressive journalism within
your midst.
A newspaper conducted along pro-
gressive lines is big asset to Sedg-
wick county, and the board of county
commissioners informs US that they
appreciate the services we are render
ing in this respect. We have put
forth untiring efforts in working for
the best interests of the county in the
matter Of publishing newspaper
which would reap benefits for the
community at large, and the board of
county commissioners have conscienti-
ously awarded the Grit-Advocate the
county printing for the year 1918 as
an appreciation of our labors in as
ssting to put Sedgwick county on the
map in the matter of legitimate pub
Lefty. And there is no beating around
the bush about it either, as our con-
temporary might lead you to believe

was 1000. The new flying corps num-

The task of planning for and pro-
ducing real fighting planes is the
work of the Aircraft Board, consist
ing Of three men, each, from the Army,
the Navy and civil life. When this
Board began work there were only
two companies manufacturing air
planes in America. The first move
of the Board was to stop negotiations
for the use of existing patents, and
to design new airplane to meet the
difficult conditions of air service.
These engines might be called on to
operate from sea level to heights of
10000 feet and must be absolutely de-
pendable under the extreme condi-
tions of temperature and pressure.
To design such engines was the work
of number of experts, who freely
gave their trade secrets, and adopting
the best from their combined exper-
fence, in a week evolved the Liberty
Motor.
While increasing our production, it
has been necessary to keep up the sup
ply of spruce and other raw materials,
as well as certain completed aeroplane
parts for the Allies. In return the
Allies are giving US their rich exper-
fence obtained in the hard fields Of

pertaining to progress and develop
ment which will bring mutual bene-
fits to tie citizsasAip Of the commun-
ity. The fact that . man 10 placed
in . position where b controls tn
editorial reins of = Newspaper, should
not give him the privilege Of abusing
this citizen and that citizen through
its columns, just simply because the
said editor isn't successful in max
ing his fellow man "hew to the line"
and adopt the strict policy dictated by
him, whether it be political issue or
any other
This is free country. and there is
no law in the land which gives our
contemporary, the Sedgwick Sun, the
right to boldly and maliciously attack
our citizens through its columns for
the mere purpose Of satisfying the
personal feelings of the editor Of that
paper. The days Of dirty journal
ism" are fast departing, and We hope
to see the day arrive when no editor
will dare to indulge in the practice of
making personal attacks upon indi-
viduals for the purpose Of satisfying
his own selfish personal feelings.
The editor Of the Sedgwick Sun in
his last issue uses portion of the col
un'ns of his paper to personally at
tack one of the prominent citizens Of
this county. namely Edward Fischer,
chairman of the board of county COM
The Sun editor was not
content to conclude his remarks in his
'write-up" of the county printing mat
ter, without STOPPING SO low as to
speak of Mr. Fischer in a most dis
graceful manner. I'VE do not wish to
reprint such Objectionable reading
The TRADE was uncalled for,
to say the least, it being of very IL
belous nature and rank injustice to
Fischer. Mr.. Fischer
has large number of friends in Sedg-
wick county who should and will resent
such actions upon the part Of the Sun
editor. in his insinuating remarks
against one of the county's most high
ly respected citizens.

TAKE WARNING

Two German spies were apprehend-
cd by the authorities at Sterling the
latter part of last week. Much dam
aging evidence was found in their
possession along with enough dyna-
mite to blow up the town of Sterling.
In connection with the above, we
believe this should be a warning to
the citizens Of this community. as we
know not what may be lurking in our
midst. 1t is an undeniable fact that
the German spy system is veritable
net work over the United States, and
has been proven over and over again,
spies are actively engaged in places
where least expected.
The citizens of Sedgwick county
should lose no time in becoming thor
oughly organized against any disloy-
atty that might be displayed leading
to the destruction Of the life and prop
erty of our citizens. We cannot be
too careful in this matter, ard should
use our best efforts in uncovering any
plots of disloyal nature. The appre-
hension of two spies at Sterling is
getting pretty close to home, and is
an added incentive for the people of
this section to be on their guard
On the other hand, we should not be
to oeasilv misguided By false rurors.
but it is imperative in these critical
times that we use our best judgement
refraining from being over-supicious
the result of which might result in an
injustice to some entirely innocent
person. We can but be patriotic to
our country without using unjust
means in our efforts to squelch dis
loyalty, and it is highly important
that we 20 at the matter in conser-
vative manner, true to our convictions,
and with the just purpose in view of
serving our country in the best pos
sible way, and apprehcnd the offenders

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

How many war saving stamps have
u purchased? How many stamps
are you intending to purchase and
thus assist the government in its war
work? Aside from performing a
patriotic duty by purchasing the war
saving stamps. you are also creating
the saving habit which will be of bene-
fit to you. If you want to teach your
boy or girl the art of saving, now is
/ the time to commence. Buy a few
stamps for them with the understand
ing that they will add to them out Of
their earnings.
Prof. c. W. Lanning. principal of
the Julesburg public schools informs
us that the pupils of the schools in our
city are becoming actively interested
in the war savings stamps plan, and
that club has been formed. In con-
nection with this patriotic movement
of the pupils, we want to impress up
on the minds of the parents that it
behooves them to cooperate with the
children in every possible manner.
Let US purchase the war savings
stamps-and lots of them. The
stamps are made in small denomina-
tions and the poor, as we'll as the
rich may purchase them. Everyone
the men, boys and girls, now can do
their "bit" for the government
For the benefit of those who do not
understand the plan of the war saw
ings stamps, we give the following
summary: When you buy one or more
Of these stamps at 25 cents each you
are given a card with sixteen places
for stamps. These may be purchased
one at a time or more as the purchas-
ers are able. The entire card costs
four dollars. The card then may be
taken to the postoffice, the bank, de-
pot, store, or anywhere these stamps
are to be found on sale and may be
exchanged for $500 war certificate.
by paying IL to % cents extra, accord
ing to the month in which you ex-
change On January LIST, 1923 the
government will return your money
and compound interest. You will have
helped your country in winning the
war and also made good investment.
Let US boost the war savings stamps
movement in every possible way. If
YOU have already purchased war saw
ings stamps-buy another and anoth-
err. The government has designed
these stamps that you may purchase
them and help win the war by assist
ing in its finance The Grit Advocate
is confident that the people of this
community are going to do their
share in purchasing the war savings
stamps. Create the habit of pur-
chasing War Savings stamps-and do
! it now.

actual conflicts. This has been modi-
fled and is daily modifying plans and
models. Many filters from the Euro
pean fronts are teaching our aviators
in their preliminary training in The
camps.
II takes six months to make an avi-
ator, and costs, SO France says, about
$25, 900 for each man. In American
training there are three stages. The
first two are given in America, the
last is best done in the company Of
men who are having daily experience.
At the beginning of the war France
and Germany had about 600 airplanes
each, Great Britain, about 100. Nov
England alone is ahead Of Germany
and building planes twice as fast.
Italy which had to depend on France
is now producing exceptionally fine
aircraft. In the year ending August
l. the French and English brought
2O76 Germans planes to the ground.
Airplanes are the eyes Of the army,
and in new developments prove to be
important fighters by destruction Of
munition stores, bridges, and supplies,
and have taken important parts in en-
gagements. Much may be expected
from the daring and initiation Of the
Americans when they get into action.
