The Fourth Liberty Loan.

The American people are once
more up against the necessity of
backing with money our boys i'm the
trenches. All their sacrifice and
risk of life and limb will go for no.
thing, if we are not willing to pro-
vide them the equipment. Courage
asd skill amount to nothing unless
backed up by the most modern and
extravagantly costly outfit. War is
terribly expensive proposition. Un-
less we are willing to meet its bills
generously, we must lie down and let
stronger nations rule over us.
The more we spend on equipment,
the fewer our losses of men will be.
Unless we are willing to stand stag
gering losses among our boys, We
must pour out the money without
stint.
The man whose country. whose
home, whose democratic Institutions
are being protected by our young
men, cuts a very poor figure in the
community unless he is willing to p~y
the cost of the protection. When a
man offers his life to protect you, if
you won't pay for his gun and his
keep, you are pretty poor sort OF a
citizen.
As the size of the army increases,
the bill for equipment grows. There
fore the government is asking for
about one-third more money than
was raised on the last loan. 1t is an
enormous sum, but really only a small
fraction of our wealth. 1t can be
raised if we all take hold of it with
willingness to do our fair share.
People. cannot expect to 60 through
these times and live just as usual. II
we can't raise money for bonds any
other way, we must cut down our ex-
penses and go without things we are
used to. Only thus can we hold up
our heads in the community, or be re-
garded by our neighbors as showing
common decency. Those who refuse
to take hold and do their fair share
are slackers for whom everyone must
feel contempt.

The mastering into the army OF
many of our middle aged men under
the new draft is going to show some
incongru0us situations. We shall
see men of 35 to 40 years Of age,
trained and successful in business and
the professions, accustomed to lead
Others and gifted with sound judg-
ment. These men will be under the
command of young sprouts as Off
GERS, big share Of whom are just
barely of age. These young fellows
have education and have acquired
military theory. Yet they have not
tenth of the experience or judg-
ment of the men wnom they are
about to command.
1t is the policy CT the army to de-
pend for its officers quite largely on
young men trained in the colleges or
camps of the Plattsburg type. The
army officers are supposed to know
their business, and they properly val
ne the enthusiasm and courage CT
these young fellows. These young
men acquire correct military theory
and their trained minds enable them
to take up new problems with facil-
ity. As between the trained young
man of undeveloped Judgment and the
unframed older man of wider exper-
fence, training will be the higher
value
But there should be scme way to
take advantage of the experience,
common sense and knowledge OF hui
man nature and gift for leadership
that man should develop in busl-
ness career. If such a man is put
into the trenches as an ordinary
doughboy, there is loss CT power.
1t would seem as if such men,
knowing they would probably be
drafted, would do well to offer them
selves for courses at the officers
training schools, and fit themselves
for the higher grades of service. Also
that the government should seek for
larger proportion of officers of this
type, and make it as easy as possible
for them to get the needed training.

float or belted to a rough finish. Con-
siderable trouble is often encounter
ed when betting is tried. due to the
fact that inexperienced men attempt
to belt when the surface is too wet
or attempt to belt too fast. During
hot weather or when evaporation is
rapid, the surface should be protected
by canvas until hard enough to per-
NIT sprinkling and covering with
earth. Different combination of ag-
gregates, varying condition of wealth
er, and different brands of cement as
well as subsoil conditions seem to
cause concrete to behave much diff
ferently than other combinations. The
mixing, placing and finishing of con-
crete made from crushed stone and
sand is considerably different than
when gravel and sand are used. Con-
crete laid in hot weather behaves far
differently than when laid in cool
weather.
The use Of expansion joints is still
an open question. The distance be-
tween joints varies coniderably but
experience seems to indicate that a
one-half inch joint every so feet is
adequate. Concrete which is laid in
the fall seems to expand the follow
ing summer more than concrete laid
during hot weather. Thus you see
the concrete road question is a live
and debating subject. 1r
Notwithstanding all the ) various
joints of view. think we are safe il
saying that 75 per cent Of failures
and unsatisfactory results on con.
trete roads could be entirely eliminat.
ed, if the essential details of good
practice and construction were thor.
oughly observed.

The BURY The Hammer Spirit"


Every town has two types of citi-
zens, and you can see them classify
themselves every day. The typical
knocker sits on his front porch and
groans over this or that fault in his
home town. Perhaps his complaint
is that the street is in such dirty
condition. Why don't the street de-
partment get after it, he growls, and
he telephones complaint into their
office.
Other people reflect that the street
appropriation is usually in an ex-
hausted condition and the road work
ers have only about money enough to
keep the surfaces decently passable.
SO some Of them have the public
spirit themselves and clean up the
part of the street next their land.
If one man does that his neigh
bors are very apt to take hold and
do their share. Neatness is just as
contagious as disorder. So it goes
in everything. People forget to
knock when they take hold and work
for community purpoes. Where
this spirit of cooperation exists, the
knocker and his hammer are rarely
heard from.

McGregor, Ia, Oct. 1S.-At the
annual convention of the Federated
Women's clubs of the Fourth Iowa
district held recently in McGregor,
West Union was selected as the
place of meeting for 1919. Mrs.
Oscar Heiserman of West Union,
district chairman for the past year,
was reelected. The convention
with los delegates present was one
of the largest that has been held.
The large attendance was due in
part to the very active ainterest Iowa

sissippi Valley National park pro-
jeot at McGregor.
Among the state officers who were
Davenport, president OF the Iowa
Federation; Mrs. c. H. McNider,

CATHOLIC BOYS join
WAR WORK CAMPAIGN
Girls, Too, viii Stand With Them
Behind Every Fighter
at the Front.

To put behind every Catholic fighter
in France the support of one boy or
girl in every parish throughout the
United States is the plan Of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council for back
ing the Victory Boys and Victory
Girls Earn and Give" Division Of the
United Work War Campaign to raise
Sic, 100000 "for the boys over there"
during the week of November Ills.
Through diocesan, county and parish
organizations, the rallying of one
youngster for every man who has gone
to war in every community is already
under way. BY their own earnings,
and not by contributions, it is expect
ed that these sturdy little sponsors
for the boys abroad will each raise ct
least five dollars for the joint well
fare work of the Y. NJ G. A, Y. w.
G.. A., National Catholic War Coun-
Gil, including the Knights of Column
bus, War Camp Community Service,
Jewish Welfare Board, American Lii
brary Association and Salvation Army.
Boys and girls in every Catholic
parish throughout the United States
are already being picked to represent
each fighting man who has left their
church for the front. In every home
that flies service flag little brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, are
eagerly volunteering to look out for
the share Of their family fighter In the
huge joint welfare campaign for all
the boys abroad.
