WILL NOT LET WOMEN
PAY THE KAISER S PRICE
Americans viii Support Liberty Loan
to Protect Their Homes
and Country.

1t has been often said that the wom-
an always pays. Do you, Mr.. Farmer,
Mr.. Town Man and Mr.. City Man, want
your wife to pay the price of Prussian
barbarism and martyrdom?
Since the war started the Prussian
has blushed at nothing. To type of
man capable of making joke of the
most horrible crimes, such acts as a
baby crucified on a barn door, muir
dering mothers and outraging young
girls is mere matter of amusement.
The United States government is
about to launch its Third Liberty
Loan. Does this mean anything to
you? 1t means everything to the men,
women and children of America. Your
son and all the nations sons are rely
ing on the United States Treasury to
furnish the>sinews of war. Their lives
are lost if the Treasury fails.
The American farmer will not let
the cruel, piratical and ruthless policy
of Teutonic militarism reign in this
land of the free and the home of the
brave. We. will not yield up our birth
right as Americans.
The Third Liberty Loan will be over
subscribed.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Alma Coffman, a pupil of Mrs.
Jennie Gruner's room of the Farming
ton South Ward School, has won the
War Savings Essay Contest in that
school. A prize of a $500 War Saw
ings Certificate has been offered by
one of the public-spirited and patriot
ic ladies of Pennington for the win
ming essay in this contest. Alma is
now hoping to be declared one of the
winners in the State and County con-
tests as well as to lead the other COM
peting classes in the Pennington
schools.
Miss Malissie Atkins of the Roughly
school writes that her pupils are hard
at work writing essays on "How to
Help Uncle Sam Win the War Through
Thrift Stamps" She further states
that new flag has just been raised
above her school building, which was
secured through the efforts of the pu-
pills directed by her.
Miss Viola Beard of the Burch
school writes that an entertainment
and box supper will be given at her
school on the evening of April 4th.
She has the commendable idea of de-
voting the proceeds of this meeting
to the purchase of War Savings GER
tifcates and Thrift, Stamps. She also
writes that her pupils have entered
the essay contest. 1t might be added
in this connection that some essays

PRESS Of AMERICA IS
MOST POTENT AID
All Newspapers Prove Loyal and Aid
Government.

1t has been said that the biggest
agency, outside the men who go to
the front, in rendering the government
aid is the loyal press Of the United
States.
Not only has the metropolitan daily
given of its news and editorial space
to help in the great struggle being
waged on the Western front, but the
hometown" paper has gone direct to
the hearts of its readers in telling the
story of the war.
Every country paper throughout the
Eighth Federal Reserve District has
pledged itself to assist the Third Lib.
erty Loan, which will be started in
April. 1t is good for the country that
we have united and loyal press. And
it has been thus from the beginning
Even when public opinion was waver-
ing and doubtful, at the time of the
declaration Of war, the American press
stood by the government with a fine,
fearless and splendid loyalty.
Popular opinion is made up largely
of what the people read-the facts
they read. This loyal and fearless
publicity has made plain to all the
atrocious conduct of Germany in bring
ing this frightful calamity upon the
world and the terrible denominations
she has committed in the course OF
our progress toward victory. The
press is one of the most potent forces
to hold our people steadfast to the
winning of the war.
But if the Third Liberty Loan and
the other war measures of the United
States government are defeated, then
the press will be forced to tell a diff
ferent story.
1t will then be forced to tell about
the murder of American women and
children by the Germans; the murders
that the enemy will commit in order
that we might be enslaved. II the
treasury fails or finds itself unable to
respond to every call made upon it
the war is lost. Your son and all of the
nations sons are relying on the United
States Treasury to furnish things with
which they may fight.

Supt. W. C. johnson of Audrain
county, in recent circular, writes in
part as follows: "Haye you organized
club or two? Will you? Are you
making the farm survey? Have you
sold and bought Thrift Stamps yet?
Have you organized your Junior Red
Cross? Are you more concerned in
teaching patriotism and citizenship
than you are in covering certain
number of pages in the textbooks =?
Are you consciously doing your best
to help win this war? / believe you
are. But if you have not done all of
the things mentioned above think it
over carefully, asking yourself why
you have not succeeded and how you
may be more successful in your next
attempt"

BUTCHER WEYLER'S DEEDS
SURPASSED BY WILHELM
Devastation and Cruelty In Cuba Out.
done In Belgium and France.

All America shuddered with shame
and contempt when a heartless Span
lard drove 100000 peaceful inhabi-
tants of Cuba from their homes ana
forced them into reconcentrado camps
to suffer, to-starve and to die.
But no one ever accused the Madrid
government Of such brutality as
marks the cruelty inflicted upon chill
dren, or the uncomfortable barbarity
shown to women by the heartless Ger
mans in invaded lands.
What the Prussian has done in Bel.
GUM, in Russia, in Roumania and the
other European countries he would
do in America if the Kaiser wins the
war.
Buy a Liberty Bond and register a
protest against the, saber-rattling,
bloodthirsty Prussian war lord.
America must win the war or civil
lization is doomed. Uncle Sam can
and he will win, but he must have the
loyal support of the men who stay at
home as well as the soldier who goes
to France.
Billions must be raised to supply
the guns, the food, the thousand-and-
one things that are necessary to sup
port the army.
The free citizens of the United
States must supply the money with
which to feed, clothe and munition
the army. The best way to do this Is
to buy Liberty Bond--the safest in
vestment in the world.

AMERICA WILL SETTLE
PRESENT WORLDS WAR
Liberty Loan Bond In American
Hands 10 Most Effective
Weapon.

Before the United States entered
the war the conflict may have been
one for Europeans to settle, with the
future of the world depending upon
the results. But since America de-
clared war it has become distinctly
our war.
1t no longer is England's war, or
Frances war, but Americas war--the
war of all the nations associated to de-
feat German autocracy, which seeks
to dominate and enslave the world.
The best way to support the war Is
to buy . Liberty Bond while the brave
boys are at the front fighting for you
and for your home and for everything

ROAD DRAG INSPECTOR
is GETTING RESULTS

The road drag Inspector sent out
by the State Highway Department is
getting practical results. Many of
the counties have been allowing their
road drag funds to accumulate and
have paid no attention to the dragging
of the roads when the work was most
needed. Roads which are in condition
to be dragged cannot be neglected
and the money used later for other
purposes. Many counties in the State
stand in a good way to lose part of
their road drag funds, according to
report. How about this county?
