DIRECTOR PARSONS
TELLS WHY THE LOAN
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL

Lewis H. Parsons, director Of the
Liberty Loan for the Third Federal
Reserve District, gave out the follow
ing statement from his office in the
Lincoln Building, Philadelphia:
I'VE are ready to go over the top
and make killing for the Loan. In
our trenches and back of our lines
great preparations for the big drive
are under way.
Success is sure, but it will not
come easily. All good Americans
must apply themselves to the task of
helping to raise this money as they
never before have applied themselves
to anything. The government needs
the help of every individual now more
than ever before. There must be no
slackers. No one should depend upon
some one else to make up his share.
Every one must do something.
"The first thing we should all get
firmly implanted in our minds is the
seriousness of the situation. We are
fighting a most powerful war machine.
To overcome it, we must make almost
superhuman efforts. And we cannot
do this great task at all without mon
ey. That is the first need. So every
one who is not fighting with his hands
must fight with his money-that is,
must buy Liberty Bonds.
Nothing could do the government
more harm than the peace talk which
we hear and even see printed, on all
sides. The time to talk and think of
peace is after we are victorious. Our
government is preparing for a long
and bitter war. The only way to
shorten it is to supply the money now
so that we may have the equipment
for our soldiers, the ships and food
and all those things which are neces-
sary to win.s
"This is great, big, patriotic oppor-
tunity for all of us to pull together
and show the rest of the world how
| America can rise to a situation. We
must put into bonds all the money we
can spare. Even if we have not the
| ready money, but have credit, we
| should use our credit to raise money
with which to buy bonds. This will
be found the easiest way in the Ions
run. If it seems inconvenient to raise
money now, let us just consider the
| possibilities of defeat That would
mean paying over to an autocratit
power whatever that power saw fit tt
exact of us. Surely there is a decided
| difference between doing that an(
lending our money now to Uncle Sam
at a good rate of interest. l know
the people will wake up to the stu
ton, and that is why am sure the
third Liberty Loan drive will be 6

Chinese Exports of Human Hair.

Since the abolition of the queue af-
ter the fall of the Manchu dynasty
long pigtaiis of Chinese hair are no
longer readily available. The dealers
are relying more and more on the
combings Of women, although there
are men who make it part of their
business to let their hair grow to about
eight inches In length and then sell
It to the barber, who In turn sells to
the small trade In hair. For exporting,
hair Is assorted according to length and
tied In punches. Most of the exports
go 10 England, France and the United
States, where the hair is bleached with
peroxide, thinned with acid and boiled
In dye. 1t is thus rendered finer in
texture and, incidentally, absolutely
sanitary. The appearance of the hair
is also completely changed.

The raising of the voice in anger
is manifestly akin to the roar of the
angry carnivora. Darwin has pointed
out the connection between the human
sneer and the snarl OF the angry dog,
and have myself seen a refined wom-
an in a transport Of spite lift her up
per lip and show her teeth in man
ner absurdly like an enraged beast.
But nothing shows more clearly the
essential identity Of the fighting in
stinct in man and the lower animal
after 1t can toddle, will rush at the
object of its passion and proceed to
bite and scratch-that is, to use teeth
and claws. as any of the carnivora
might.-Exchange

The feet and legs of swine are very
important in breeding stock They
should be short, straight. strong, of
medium size, and placed wide apart.

Is strong and that the pasterns are

Charm You overlook.

It is rather strange that the girl who
spends a great deal of thought OIL
dressing prettily and arranging her
hair attractively, will not make the ef-
fort to acquire beautiful speech. The
girl whose language is slangy and I'M
grammatical, makes as serious a mis-
take as If she were careless about her
appearance. Pleasing speech is a
charm many of you overlook. Girls

OLE BJORKLUND
KILLED BY HEAT
AGED MAN NEAR D E A R Y
DROPPED DEAD WHILE FIGHT
ING FOREST FIRE

Glen O.. Grice, county coroner, was
called to Deary yesterday evening to
Investigate the death of Ole Bjork-
lusd, aged :73, who dropped dead while
fighting fire near Deary. The aged
farmer lives near the Dolberg saw
mill, and when a Washington, Idaho
& Montana train went by his place
and a spark set fire to the grass, he
went out with his sons to fight the
fire and became exhausted or over
heated and fell dead in the woods.
Coroner Grice investigated, took
testimony of witnesses and decided
that no inquest was necessary. The
aged man, who is pioneer of that
section, leaves family of grown chill
dren. His death was pronounced as
due directly to the heat, supplemented
by excitement.

mander Bruce R. Ware, Jr., upon be-
ing presented with the American de-
fense society's medal "for distin-
guished service in the United States"
designed by George R. Brewster and
donated by DR.. Lee de Forest, in rec

when, in charge of gun crew of the
American steamship Mongolia, he

rine.
"Many soldiers in France owe their
lives to Lieutenant Wares presence
of mind" said John Stone, chairman
of the medal committee, in awarding
the medal. "Many American homes
would be mourning the loss of loved
ones destroyed by the U-boat but for
his coolness and accuracy of judg-

that it would be the first of many
great distinctions achieved by Lieu
tenant Ware.
Lieutenant Commander Ware per-

said DR.. de Forest, the donor of the
medal. "It was the first Of long

won't take long to clean up the
vipers. Lieutenant Commander Ware
honors us more in his acceptance of
this medal than we can honor him by
it's donation"

.ROOSEVELTS SON
MAY NOT BE KILLED.
POSSIBILITY TIL AT QUENTIN
ROOSEVELT MAY BE PRISON
Err HAS BEEN EXPRESSED

NEW YORK.-Colonel Roosevelt
received a cablegram from General
Pershing, in charge of the American
forces in France, expressing hope
| that Lieutenant Quentin Roosevelt,
reported killed in an ariel battle in
France, may have landed safely.
OYSTER BAY, N. "A ray OF
hope that Lieutenant Quentin Roose-
welt, reported killed in fight with
German airmen, may not have fallen
to his death in combat was brought
to Colonel Roosevelt tonight in
cablegram from Mrs. Theodore Roose-
welt, Jr, in Paris, in which she said
the report was "absolutely uncon-
firmed" there. The former president
felt, however, there was only slight
possibility that his youngest son is
alive.
The message from Mrs. Roosevelt,
who is doing Red Cross work IN the
French city, contained nothing but
the simple statement that she had
been able to get no confirmation CT
Quentin's death and Colonel Roose-
welt feared there was little room to
doubt the accuracy of the press dis
patches.
Thousands of kilograms of condo
lence were received today at Saga
more Hill Mr.. Roosevelt had nothing
to add, however, to this brief state
ment he issued earlier in the day in
which he expressed for himself and
his wife sad pride that their son
had been given an opportunity to
show the stuff of which he was made
before he died:
"Quentin's mother and | are very
glad that he got to the front and had
the chance to render some service to {
his country and to show the stuff
there was in him before his fate be-
fell him."
Just at sundown a gold star was
placed on the village service flag to
mark the first death among the vii
lagos young warriors.
