My Dear Bogie:
Take a look at the book and if

send in bill. | don't mean the
German BILL" for if you should
send him down here he would
fall into rough hands-into the
hands of a u pound boy at my
house whose name is Ishmael
Woodrow of the biggest
boys | have ever seen, named for
a great doctor of Winchester and
for one of the biggest Democrats
the world has ever known or his
tory ever chronicled.
Gardner, | am sorry the peo-
pie of dear old Morgan voted
down the road tax. Those who
voted against it do not really
know what a good road means.
So long as they put their money
in mud holes they will have de-
fective roads. They should have
known that that old plan was M
good. Just keep on driving it il
to them, and if no sooner, wher
the oncoming generation arrives
and replaces the moss-backs tn,
mountains and old Morgan vii
have good roads.
Good luck and best regards.
Your friend,

OVER THE TOP
Patriotic Rally Big Success.

To say that the patriotic rally
held here Saturday was a success
would be putting it rather mildly,
The audience filled the court
house to its capacity and a more
attentive and enthusiastic gath
ering never greeted a corps of
speakers in West Liberty.
Saturday was the closing day
Of the speaking campaign in be-
half of the third Liberty Loan in
Morgan county. A corps of
speakers and workers made up of
Messrs. L. Y. Redwine, S. M.
Nickel, W. D. Archibald and
Custer Jones and Mrs. Martha d.
Womack began the itinerary on
Monday of last week. The re-
.sults had been very satisfactory
but the county's quota of bonds
($40, ,00O) lacked $40, 600 of being
taken when they reached West
Liberty for the final rally Satur-
day. Mr.. j. Van Norman, of
Louisville, was billed to speak
here on that day, but for some
reason he was unable to come
and DR.. Ben l.. Bruner, of that
city, was sent in his stead. DIR.
Bruner was introduced by Mr..
l.. Y. Redwine in a short but
eloquent speech brim full OF
patriotic zeal. For more than
an hour the doctor held his au.
dience spellbound by his elo,
quence and the dramatic manner
in which he told of the brutality
practiced by the Germans, no
y only upon the captured soldiers
| but more especially the civilal
population women anC
children, in Belgium, Serbia, Rou
mania and other countries over
run and devastated by them. DR.
5 Brunner said that we are no
t fighting Italy, France and Eng
{ lands war, as the pacifists claim

est pitch of patriotic enthusiasm
and he was often compelled to
pause until the applause subsided.
When he concluded Mr.. Redwine
took charge of the meeting and
asked for subscriptions to the
third Liberty Loan. In a few
minutes $21, 200 was subscribed
which put Morgan county OVER
THE TOP with $4,000 to spare.
The size of the subscriptions
ranged from $50 to $50 and be
it said to the credit of the wo-
men present considerably more
than half of this amount was
taken by them.

cial condition of the West Liber-
ty Graded and High School, and
think it a timely hint. More
than than six years have elapsed
since a payment has been made
on the bonds as understand it.
About six or seven years ago
we executed five bonds of eight
hundred dollars each, and voted
a tax of rs cents on the hundred
dollars of taxable property, with
the understanding that one-third
Of this tax money should go to
pay the interest and principal of
these bonds.
Five hundred dollars of the
bonds, or five hundred dollars of
the purchase money, was paid
before the bonds were executed,
and this was paid out of three
years taxes, together with the
interest as it accumulated, and
besides an Indebtedness of $685.

tax was levied.

Random Thoughts on Winning the War.
MsNAlss.ssII||.slSN :3.z8N@SEIss1sSs.

Winning the should be the thought uppermost in
the minds of every man. woman and child in America,
and every man. and child should not only be will
ing but should be anxious to do everything in their pow
er to make American arms successful.
The condition that faces the people of the United
States is that we must feed the allied nations if German
brutality is to be crushed and freedom perpetuated This
condition must be met, and met unfinchngly There is
nothing surer than that Good will win the wal" and it
is in this endeavor that our duty lies.
When we look at the matter as patriots should we will
not complain at the restrictions placed upon by the
Food Administration Take for instance the ruling that
only six pounds of flour per month for each member of the
family shall be consumed this gives you the opportunity
to prove that you have sufficient patriotism to make the
sacrifice demanded of you feeding those who fight
ing for you To refuse to do this makes you enemy of
your country actively aiding the kaiser If this sacri
flee was not necessary it would not be required of you
Again, the ruling that the farmer shall not have more
than thrtyday supply of flour ground may appear to be
hardship on the farmer but while it may entail sacri
flee forces thousands of bushels of wheat on the market
and makes general the distribution of -four Surely you
are not selfish in time like this to wish to be more
favored than your neghbor If milling your wheat in the
quantities prescribed by law is mpraccabe sell it to the
miller and take the chance of buying, along with your
neghbors. The of patriotism is what are
willing to sacrifice to win the war Think Of the sacrifice
our brave boys making IN barring their breasts to the
guns OF the murdero1s Huns and then fail in your duty
it you can Who so dead to the spirit of loyalty to his
country as to seekto crafty selfish desires now?

Licking Valley courier., 1918-04-25

Before the war is sacrifices will be required
of all of U.S. Our armies MUST win No other thought
than that we must win should enter the mind of any good
American citizen And to make the final victory certain
we must be prepared to make whatever sacrifices that
necessary. Think of the thousands of Armenian Christ
ans that are dying daily from starvation; of the Belgian
children who get only one meal in three days. Can you
think of these things and enjoy luXuries?
Maybe you have not bought Liberty Bond because
the buying might cramp you financially, and cause you
extra effort to keep your business going. Had you con-
sdered that practically all the bonds sold have been pur
chased by and women who from the usual business
view point could not afford to buythey sacrificed to do
The banks which we are prone to look upon as cod
moneymakng institutions, have sacrificed millions OF the
ordinary profits by investing money that would command
greater interest in Liberty Bonds Buy bonds if you
have to do without something you actually need.
There are few, possibly, who can not buy Liberty
Bonds Though that number is small if the patriotism is
in the who can buy War Saving Stamps, and this is as
essential and patriotic buying bonds Even the lit
tie children can and do help to win the war by buying
War Saving Stamps Everybody can do something If
we could get the spirit of WANTING TO HELP there
would be no obstacles that we could not overcome.
How many OF you who read this have earnestly and
thoughtuy studied the situation with the view OF deter
mining how you could best your country in this the
greatest crisis in its history? How many have really
sought to do the things that they and should 90 for
the winning the war? Have you faithfully observed the
wheatless and the meatless days? not, you have not
only not been patriotic but you have actually been help
ing Germany Don't think that the things you do are of
little consequence. Remember that the nation made up
Of individuals like ysu YOUR acts are of tremendous
Importance to the country and it is only when each nd
vdua learns to feel and realize that he or she is an i'm
portant and indispensable factor of the nations work that
things will move without hitch or trouble Let US learn
that this is our war and that each one of us must do ou
parts.

Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1918-03-29
Heavy Editorial.

Alexander Fl. Stephens, vice presi-
dent of the Southern Confederacy,
who after the Civil war was repeated
ly elected to congress from Georgia,
was an exceedingly thin man. One day
there fell under his observation a news
paper item saying that he weighed 90
pounds. In reply to this he wrote
letter to the editor of the offending
journal demanding an immediate re-
traction. 81 will not be slandered in
this manner" ne protested, my
weight is "a pounds" The former vice
president was himself an editor, with
4 habit of writing very long articles for
his paper IN Georgia, and the contem-
porary which had made the unwelcome
statement regarding his weight refused
to retract it for the reason, he said,
that "Mr. Stephens must have had one
of his editorials in his pocket when
he last tried the scales. This would
account for the difference of four
pounds between the two figures"

BIG GUN IDEA NOT NEW.
Hudson Maxim Says 1t Is Possible to
Secure a Range of Over 60 Miles.

New York.-Hudson Maxim, in
ventor, declared in a statement issued
Sunday regarding the bombardment of
Paris by the new German cannon, that
it is entirely possible to secure a range
of over sixty miles with a gun, but
there is nothing new in the idea.
II understand that the new projec-
tile is practically of nine-inch calibre, ="
said Mr.. Maxim. with Il nine-inch
gun from forty to fifty feet in length,
and with a maximum elevation of 40
degrees, prOjectile may be thrown to
distance of more than twenty miles.
''Now, if we double the calibre of the
gun, we quadruple the area of the base
of the projectile. If we were to take
gun of eighteen-inch calibre and shoot
Il nineinch projectile from that we
would have four times the propelling
energy on the base of the shell during
the entire flight of the projectile
the bore of the gun.
1T would be perfectly possible to
employ a gun for such purpose of
twenty-inch calibre, throwing a sub
calibre projectile of nine inches. Then
we would have a good deal more than
four times the area upon which the
powder gases would push against the
