In a letter received from the state director of the Liberty Loan Public ity Committee, he wishes to have the News extend the thanks and keen appreciation of his department to the business men who have under written the advertising for the Fourth Liberty Loan. The News is only too glad to comply with this re- quest as it is a we'll known fact that the publicity given the campaign has been material aid in educating the people of this vicinity as to the value and necessity of Liberty Bonds.
 The several business men of this town who paid for this publicity de- serve a generous part of the credit due in reaching our quota. The News heartily joins with the State Director in thanking them.

AFTER THE WAR.

While permanent peace is not yet III sight it is nevertheless the time to talk and think and act along the Hines Sof reconstruction not only of our industries but in our business and home life. All Europe has been build ing and planning for the after the war period for some time past and only recently has America taken up some of the many problems which must be solved. History has taught us what the result of failure to plan for peace has been in past wars and these same historical facts should teach us now to plan for eventualities.
 The first step made which will in a measure help to care for our re- turning soldiers and sailors is the ap- propriation of one million dollars to be used for surveying public lands which may be converted into farms. There will be a general back-to-the farm movement when our armies are demobilized and with this fact in view Secretary Lane has very wisely taken steps which will provide for sufficient land upon which the men in the service may settle and grati- fly their desire to till the soil.
 Only small part of the men in the service will take up agriculture. What is to become of the remaining millions out of employment? What will the men working in munitions factories do for a livelihod? Are the millions of women who are performing dut- ies which heretofore have been done only by men to retain their employ nent? These are samples of the hundreds of problems which must be solved before peace has been de- rclarcd. In a spech before Congress Senator Weeks of Massachusetts said Tn part:
 "Tha United States is the only
 nation engaged in war that is not
 constructively getting ready for
 peace conditions. Nearly three years ago conferences were held by
 the Allies at which certain general
 principals were adopted in regard
 to trade conditions after the war.
 the relationship of one power to another, the relationship of the AL
 flies to friendly countries, neutral nations and the enemy governments.
 Similar coferences were held by the
 Central Powers.
 This country canot offord ig, .nore in the slightest degree the effect peace will have upon our industria and social life. No more so can any community regardless of its propor tions. The greater problems mus be solved in such a manner as tt be national in scope, yet every towr and city and hamlet must work ou dts own salvation to a certain exten in this reconstruction by >carefu thought and preparation. Otherwis' 1,eace will come as greater shocl <es-sntually than did war.

''NO American May Refuse. '
 Cardinal Gibbons Says

James Cardinal Gibbons, the leading Catholic churchman in America, has issued strong ap- peal in support of the United War Work Campaign.
 "It Is an American campaign" he said. Its appeal Is one that no American may refuse. Americas answer will be another triumphant announcement that we are in this war as one people and as one na- ton to see 1t through to victory. Into the splendid work of sustain ing the morale of our fighting men the great social organizations of America have thrown themselves. . The American people will raise the sum they ask-generously and gladly"

Many colds in the head are relieved, particularly that heavy, dull feeling, when breathing through the nose is im- possible, by employing as a throat and nasal douche half teaspoonful of bak- ing soda to a glass of warm water.

The general opinion seems to be, to let Foch do it.
 The street cars seem kind of like cite reminding us to shut that door. In pushing the Germans back Foch is helping the Kaiser to make up his mind to evacuate France and Bel gium.
 While we know that the Kaiser is licked it is imperative that his peo- pie, too, shall know it. And there can be no peace until they do.
 Bulgaria entered the war in the be- lief that Germany could win. It seeks peace in the certainty that Ger many must lose.-New York World. The news from all the fronts is good.
