LIBERTY LOAN IN ADAIR COUNTY.

If our boys are not now in the
trenches of Europe, they soon
will be under the bloodiest and
most inhuman fire that the art
and craft of Germany's hell
doomed "Kultur" can contrive.
Many more WILDE going to the
training camps, a new quota
proba bly, every month from this
on. And these from time to
time will be taking the places of
the depleted ranks of American
martyrs.
These boys must have guns
and ammunition, food and cloth
ing. Theslman who is able to
help to provide these things, and
refuses to DO it, is not less guilty
of the bloodss..of Adair county's
heroes than the hellhounds Of
Germany.
The Third Liberty Loan is no
doubt one of many that must be
foated before the war is over,
but let us answer literally and
readily our everyscall, just as our
boys will bravely in the face of
death, go oversthe top at their
captains command, answering
the call of .liberty, and the ap-
peals of dyinglwomen and chill
dren.

NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN TO SAFE.
GUARD BABIES LIVES.

The welfare of three hundred
thousand babies is the inspiration
for a nation wide campaign or
gained by the Federal Children's
Bureau and the Child Welfare
Committee of the Council of
National Defense. Believing
that the civilian population has
no greater patriotic duty than
the safeguarding of the nations
children, the directors of the
campaign inaugurated a Chill
dren's Year on April 9th, the
first anniversary of the United
States entrance into the war,
Carefully prepared statistics
prove that three hundred thou
sand American children under
five years of age die each year
and that last year 5000 moth
ers died needlessly. The pur-
pose of thesss approaching cam
paign is TO counterfeit such ruth
less sacrifice and to give every
mother and baby a fair chance
at life and health. Authorities
agree that one-half of the deaths
of infants and most of the deaths
of mothers are easily preventa-
BILE. This year, notwithstand-
ing the withdrawal of many doc
tors and nurses for war service,
it is believed that a large pro.
portion of mothers and babies
may be saved. Thus while
abroad war and death are reap.
ing vast harvests, on a huge
scale, at home the United States
is pledged to the conservation
and protection of human life.

The Liberty Loan Speaking.

Quite an audience assembled in the
court auditorium last Friday night
and were entertained by the following
speakers: Gordon Montgomery,
Chairman of the meeting, Judge W.
w. Jones, Judge Rollin Hurt, Barks-
dale Hamlett and W. A. Coffey. The
gentlemen spoke in the order named.
The present Liberty Loan drive was
discussed by all the speakers-the me-
cessity of Adair county taking its
S43, 700 in bonds at once, the amount
allotted to the county by the Govern
ment. The speakers were all enthu-
siastlc, speaking with force and to the
point. Our brave boys now serving
were praised for their patriotism, and
their was united expression, by a
rising vote, that they should be fed
and clothed. The causes of the wal
were discussed, and that the action CT
the United States in declaring wal
was just; in other words so far as our
country and the allies were concerned,
they were in righteous war and that
God would be with them to the end.
The drive is now on and the bonds
must be taken in the next few weeks.
Next Saturday afternoon at ]
o'clock there will be another meeting
at which time speakers from a dis.
lance will be here, and a large audi.
ence is expected. Let everybody quit
business at the noon hour and repair
to the courtroom.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking

shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use Is Just

is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any.
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls i'll cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub 1t
in. 1t makes an abundance Of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle o. dus-, dirt,

dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves

10000 men ARE
IDLE IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 15-Nearly 10000
men were idle today in Chicago and
near by manufacturing districts, on
account of fuel shortage, caused by
the heavy snowfall which demoralized
railway traffic last Saturday, Sunday
and Monday.
Among the industries which were
practically at standstill were three
of the largest packing plants in Chi
cago and many steel mills in the Cal
umet and Gary districts which are
working on government contracts.
Thousands of the packing house en-
ployes who were laid off yesterday
were put to shoveling snow in order
that the railway tracks might be clear
ed sufficiently to admit shipments of
coal into the plants today 1t was an
nounced that the packers expected to
resume during the day, but the situa-
ton at the steel mills was said to be
more serious and that operations
might be suspended for at least two
days yet. Chicago and its suburbs
have made great strides toward re-
sumption of traffic and transportation.
Thousands of school boys, and in
many instances school girls, rallied in
response to the call for "snow digging
parties" and as a result the city's
main thoroughfares today were re-
ported ninety percent open" by the
street department officials.

The problem Of caring for prisoners
OF war is big one for the allies, who
still believe in humane treatment
They will not do as the kaiser does
drive their captives to work at the sla-
very tasks until they are worked to
death-and they dare not give too
much liberty to the prisoners for fear
Of intrigues and plots. The crews
from interned vessels in the United
States are given great freedom at
their places Of internment and spend
the time carving out miniature mer-
chantmen.
At Rome war prisoners, whether
Hungarians or the rarer
Germans, are the subjects of many
bitter complaints and of appeals to
the government for stricter treatment.
One OF the least of their drawbacks is
that they do very little work on the
farms and roads which are supposed
to benefit by their labor, while they
have all grown fat and sleek from good
feeding.
Italians who have relations in Aus
trian prison camps who are starved
and 1ll-treated note with impotence
the liberty given in Italy to prisoners
of war, despite a general press cam
