Not so very long ago the "Dinky"
train that made regular trips between
jacksonville and Nortonville was re-
moved for some cause or other. The
citizens of those two towns re
monstrated with such force that the
train has been put back into service.
Pity but what we couldn't raise such
a howl that we would be given better
service over here on the N. H. & e.

Just why some people get the idea
into their heads that when they in
vest in Liberty Bonds that they are
donating something to the United
States government, is beyond us.
However, there are some people right
here in Ohio county who think this
very thing. Those who are of this
frame OF mind should attend some of
the Liberty Bond meetings that are
being held over the county, and then
We are sure they will change their
minds.

PATRIOTIC SPEAKING
AT DUNDEE.

Rev. A. ID. Leitchfield and Judge
John B. Wilson addressed large and
enthusiastic audience at Dundee last
Friday night. In plain and unequiv-
ocal terms, they told of the atrocities
of the Huns and plead with the peo-
pie to awake to a realization OF their
duties as citizens of liberty loving
nation.
An organization for the futherance
of the Third Liberty Loan Bond sale
was perfected and much patriotism
aroused.

If our boys are patriotic to the ex-

going to the front to fight our battles
surely we who are privileged to re-

way we can assure them that they
will be provided with these things is
TO take our quota, and then some"

The bliss Of growth.
The glory of action,

And tomorrow is only a vision;
But today well lived makes
Every yesterday a dream of happi-

And every tomorrow a vision of hope.
Look well therefore to this day,

FRENCH LESSONS FREE

set of six "First Aidr French
lessons in the form of Victrola rec
ords are now available at the library
for the use of all who wish to study
the language.
Whenever four or more persons
wish to hear these records the OPP
portunity will be given at the library
on any week day during library hours
between ten in the morning and nine
o'clock at night.
Booklets in which the words are
written are provided with the records
so that the spoken and printed words
may be the more closely associated.
Short sentences are spoken first in
English and then repeated distinctly
in French. The lessons are: /. Get
ting. around town, and country. 2.
Food and lodging. 3. Purchases ana
numb bers 4. Campaigning; s. Get
ting acquainted. 6. Additional vo-
cabulary.
An explanatory note ACCOMMODATING
the lessons says: "The American SOL
dier in France will be cared for by
his own officers, own commissariat,
his own hospitals; but there will new
ertheless be many times when a
knowledge of the French may not
only be desirable. but extremely me-
cessary.
when a man can say a few phras-
es of n foreign language fluently. in
telligibIy and without embarrassment
to himself, it is a very simple matter
for him to find his way about and to
provide himself with food, lodging
and the other physical necessities.
These records were complied by
man who had in France and Latin
America just the same sort of exper-
ience as our American soldiers will
have in this respect. so that the
course" as furnished by these rec
ords is not a matter of theory. but of
practical experience.
1.-The French as given on these rec
ords is perfectly correct, but each
syllable is separated a little more and
given with a little more individual
emphasis than is usual in strict con-
versation. but that is highly desirable
for the beginner. IT is easy enough
to say the words more quickly and
more smoothly as one becomes pro-
ficient.'

The new war map of the western

ture is of special value.
