cal patriotism Of the people Of the
Ninth District and is an outgrowth Of
the individual allotment plan gener-
ally practiced in this district In the
third Liberty Loan campaign.
When the individual allotment plan
first was taken under consideration
there were suggestions and insinua-
lions that 1t savored of coercion but
1T was put into effect with such care
and diplomacy that these insinuations
were speedily dissipated as 1t was
seen that the Individual allotment
plan had had its ambition only that
every individual should do his Just
share, no more. no less. In each
community local committees met
weeks prior to the actual opening OF
the third campaign and checked over
the residents OF their respective com.
munities. seeking to gain an intel
sligent idea OF what each individual In
the community should take in bonds
as his or her Just share.
In some sixteen OF the two hundred
and lightweight counties the local
committees went even farther with
this plan and instead Of merely arm.
ing their statesmen with an intelligent
idea Of the individuals buying power,
the committee sent notices to each
prospective bond purchaser asking
them to call at certain centrally To-
Gated places at specified times and
purchase the amount Of bonds allotted
to them. This was the first expert
ment with cover the counter" buying
and 1t was SO successful that the ex.
ecutiye committee has recommended
it generally for the Fourth Campaign.
In Steele county, Minnesota, three
thousand, nine hundred and eighty.
four out of four thousand persons no.
titled to come in and sign up for their
allotments stepped right up to the
mark and signed up for their bonds.
OF the sixteen who failed to appear
some were sick and some were away
from home. T

People Of Ninth District To Be

PATRIOTISM RELIED ON.
Personal Solicitation and Salesman
ship TO BE Almost Entirely Dis

The quality of patriotism is so firm
~ intrenched In the hearts of the peo-{
pie OF the Ninth Federal Reserve Dis
trict that In nearly ninety per cent
Z OF the two hundred and lightweight
counties constituting this district the
people will have the opportunity to-
step up to the counter and do their
bond buying without personal solicit
tation.
In none OF the other Federal Re-
serve Districts Is such a plan being
attempted. but the executive commit
tee OF the Ninth District feels conf
dent that 1t is justified in the conf
dence 1t Is reposing In the people Of
this district when 1t invites them to
do their own bond buying over the
counter, and dispensing thereby al
most entirely with personal solicita-
ton and salesmanship.
Good morning, neighbor. How
mucii money does our Government
need from me In this Fourth Liberty
Loan"
That Is the question fully a million
residents Of this Ninth District are
expected to. ask as they step into their
usual polling places or some other
centrally located headquarters on the
opening Of the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign.
And the man behind the counter
will say after consulting his card In
@dex:
well, Mr.. Jones, our Government
Is looking to you this time for loan
OF about $1,000" ~
And the good American purchaser
4 Is relied upon to reply: +.
"All right. neighbor, that sounds
like q fair allotment to me. Just
hand over the necessary papers and
will sign up"
This method of bond selling is not
made compulsory throughout the dis
trict, but the district committee, hav
Ing had considerable experience, and
after much consideration decided to
recommend "oyer the counter" sales

EAT Less MEAT
If BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush
Kidneys If Bladder Both
ers You

Eating meat regularly eventually
produced kidney trouble in some form
or other, says well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overwork-
ed; get sluggish; clog up and cause
all sorts OF distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, ssleepiessness, bladder and urin-
airy Irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or If blad-
der bothers you, get four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take tablespoonful In a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine This famous salts Is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
JUICE, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush
clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity; also to neutralizeI
the acids in the urine SO 1t no longer

SHEEP HERDlRG LONELY JOB
Men in Australia Have Strange Ways
of Keeping Count Of the
Days.

Each boundary rider on the i'm
mense sheep ranches of Australia has
a district to look after, and he has
to keep the wire fences in repair and
see that the sheep come to no harm.
1t is hard, lonely life, in which the
rider rarely sees another human be
ing. Many of the men have strange
ways Of keeping count of the days.
One rider named Eagan tried sew
eral plans to keep count of the days.
but always failed. At length he hit
on novel and attractive method. He
made a big damper-the name the
Australians give to q cake of -four
and water with q seasoning OF salt
on Sunday and marked it into seven
parts. Each section was q days al
Iowance, and the slices that remained
told him the number OF days that
must pass before Sunday came again.
For several weeks this method never
failed him. Unfortunately, one Tues
day he fell in with a fellow rider who
was very hungry. Eagan stinted him
self in order that the ravenous one
might be satisfied with that days sec
ton of the damper. But it was no
use. The host saw the knife cut the
boundary line and the hungry rider
carve into the almanac. He could
stand it no longer.
Stop, now, STOP" he yelled, as he
clutched the remains Of the damper
and glared at his visitor. There" he
went on, you've eaten Tuesday and

PRAYIHa PALM TREE DEAD
Used to PROSTATE Itself in the Evening
While Temple Bells
Rang.

The praying palm tree Of Faridpur,
about which certain interesting facts
were published, is dead. It may be
remembered that this tree used to pros
trate itself In the evening while the
temple bells rang, calling the people
to prayer, and it erected its head in
the morning. This process was repeat
ed every day, to the bewilderment of
thousands Of Hindus, who naturally
came 10 look upon it as the abode of
some fdevRta" tgod). Hundreds a.
fered Dutahs 20 the unknown "devatat''
which all went to fill the pockets Of
the owner Of the tree. Miraculous
cures were reported as a result Of pu-
jah offerings.
The curious phenomenon attracted
the attention of Sir ]. G. Bose, who,
after much difficulty, obtained permits
sion of the owner of the tree to inves-
tigate the matter. He devised special
inStrumentS-au of Swadeshi manufac-
ture-and began to take records. He
found that the palm tree fell with the
rise Of temperature and rose with it's
fall. Records obtained with other
trees brought out the hitherto unsus-
pected fact that all trees were moving,
such movements being in response to
changes in their environment.
Sir J. c. Bose holds the opinion that
the whole Of the vegetable world, in
Guiding rigid trees, perceive the
changes in their environment and re-
spond to them by uiimistakable signals.
They thrill under light and become de-
pressed by darkness; the warmth of
summer ana frost of winter, drought
and rain, those and many other hap
penings leave a subtle impression on
the life of the plant"
