TEACHING THE WARS CAUSES.

The boards of education in many schools in the States have established a course to teach the children the causes of the war between the United States and Germany. The decision is made in the interests of patriotism and has the endorsement of many ed- ucators. The proper time to instruct the children is while they are young and it is also unnecessary to wait un- til after the detailed history of the struggle is written.
 A former professor of a college in Washington said that the war, if it could in any sense be described as 8 class war, sprang, not from the capi- talistic group, as the pro-Germans would have us believe. but from the colleges and other centers of learn ing of the United States. It was his opinion that 1t is a reflex action of the intellectual forces of America. for only men who intelligently scrutin- ized the causes of the war and realized the threat of Germany's domination were able to see the immediate neces- sity of allying ourselves with her foes at a time when our force would be of the greatest moment.
 If the teaching forces of our coun- try have inclined to be 'super-paci- fists" they, like every other thinking citizen must now realize how deeply our democratic institutions are in- volved in this titanic struggle.
 It is pleasing to observe that the whole country is in harmony with the movement to infuse our population. from the youngest to the oldest. with the fundamental causes behind our part in the war. and in many in- stances schools are issuing patriotic bulletins. These bulletins are intend- ed to inspire patriotism. They con- tain speeches from Washington, Lin . coin, Wilson and other great Ameri-

HE lOWN UT VAAOcZl is situated at the head of = Prince William Sound,
 and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center
 of the mining industry on the
 Sound, both copper and gold, and
 is adjacent to and within easy
 hauling distance of the salmon
 grounds, many fresh water rivers
 and streams in Valdez Bay bring
 ing the fish in great numbers to
 within sight of the town. The
 city has one good cannery, which
 will operate two lines the coming
 season, employing probably one
 hundred and fifty persons. The city offers good opportuni-
 ties for a fish saltery, fertilizer
 factory, glue factory, a tin can
 factory and a box shook factory,
 all subsidiary to the fish packing
 business. The city owns it's own Iwharf and the Valdez Dock Con- pany, which also owns a splendid
 wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites. VALDEZ has a progressive
 citizenry, with good high schools, churches, free reading room and
 library, good clubroons and many
 lodges and organizations. Rents
 are very cheap, and living is but
 little higher than in the States. Many gold and copper mines
 are contiguous to Valdez, making
 this city their out6tting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor.
 The climate is very healthful, the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury
 rarely falls below -l5 in the win ter and 70 above is the highest
 summer temperature. The sum-
 mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36
 hours running time, over a fine road, through the most magnif- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings a minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so at our stores far cheaper than in the States. with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.

FOOD ADMIR-. SOAKS
BURBANK PROFITEER

A Garman, proprietor of the Bur-
bank Touring mill, after hearing be-
fore the Food Administrator, Monday,
was ordered to Gloss his mill for a
week, to purchase $1,000 worth of
Liberty Bonds and to contribute $1O0
to the Red Cross. The principal
charges against Garman were, selling
flour without substitutes, selling flour
in excess of the quantities allowed
by the government, and selling flour
with wrong substitutes. Garman fin
ally signed a statement confessing to
the charges. The appeal provision
permitting him to carry the case to
the state food administrator he did
not sign.
There has been complaint against
Garman for some months, and he has
been warned repeatedly that he would
be taken into custody for violation of
the food laws. He is alleged to have
said that he didn't care for the gov
ernment regulations, that he proposed
to sell flour to make all the money he
could.

LIBERAL EXEMPTION
4TH LOAN FEATURE

Here is digest Of the tax exemp-
tion features of the Fourth Liberty
Loan, prepared by an accredited ex-
pert on tax legislation:
Under the Fourth Liberty Loan and
until two years after the close of the
war an exemption of 100000 is al
lowed from graduated additional in
come taxes commonly known as sur
taxes and excess profits taxes now or
hereafter imposed.
Inasmuch as the income and excess
profits tax law exempts income from
Liberty Bonds for the normal tax this
would exempt these bonds for the
normal tax as we'll as those stated
above.
The bill also provides that interest
received after January 1, 1918, upon
the entire issue of Liberty Bonds prio
to the Fourth Liberty Loan is from
taxes up to an amount of $45, 900 prin-
cipal amount, but in no case exceeding
one and one-half times the principal
amount of bonds Of the Fourth Liberty
Loan originally subscribed for and in
the hands of the taxpayer at the time
of making his tax report.
In addition to this the bill provides
| that there is an ex nption 0f $30, 900
II. ss@I} III "A
| into the bonds Of the Fourth Liberty
Loan. This makes an aggregate ex-
enption Of $1O5, 900 and in addition to
this amount the bill provides that the
existing exemption Of $4,000 previous
issues is still in force and is in addition
to the exemption above stated, making
total exemption under the bill as
signed by the President of $4,000.
All of the above is clearly stated in
the bill with the exception of the ex-
emption from normal tax but, as stat
ed above, this bill is exempting the
very taxes that the income tax law
names as being subject to tax; there
fore the two bills considered together
leaves no doubt, it is thought, but that
the exemption applies to the normal
tax as well.

WAR DOGS AND SONG FEST
LAUNCH LOAN CAMPAIGN

Saturday afternoon and evening, as
prelude to the opening of the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign, two of Uncle
Sans private soldiers came to Me-
dina and let loose on the main street
trio of trained dogs of war. 1t was
the chief feature of celebration cal
culated to set off the fireworks for the
big money quota that must and is 60
ing to be raised by Medina people
within the next three weeks.
The dogs, of the Airdale breed, ar
rived about o'clock Saturday after
noon and at 5 gave preliminary dem
onstration of racing and carrying mes
sages to and from given point. Many
people witnessed the work.
In the evening song fest was held
from the park pavilion by the Medina
Glee club, participated in by the
throng that had gathered to listen.
This was followed by brief but stir
ring address by Attorney F.W. Woods,
who with force impressed upon the
people the supreme Importance of res
ponding to the Fourth Loan "until it
hurts"
Ingham's martial band gave zest to
the occasion, it's members playing with
the old-time fire of 81.
Following the program in the park
the pave in front of the business
houses on the west side Of the square
was cleared and the war dogs were
allowed to give another demonstration
of the part they have been taught to
perform in the great conflict for world
democracy. For speed jack-rabbit
has nothing on these animals when
they leave with a message. The mes
sages are attached to the dogs necks
and with flourish of the hand and the
exclamation "Go", they are off, and
with the directness Of an arrow pro-
ceed on their important errand. The
work ELECTED hearty applause from the
large crowd lined up on either side of
the street.
Last but by no means least of the
Evenings entertainment was the drill
ing by Co. B of the local home guards
under the command of Geo. Wash
burne. While these men have been
drilling regularly for many weeks,
that they had acquired SO great pro-
ficiency as was exemplified Saturday
night was more or less of surprise
to the many who Witnessed their work
and who remained until the close, re-
gardless Of the late hour. The drill
ing was excellent and bespeaks the
ability of an experienced drillmaster.

COILS TIGHTENING
ON w. S. S. PLEDGES

P. B. Beery, special agent of the
Treasury Department, was in Medina
Thursday, comforting with County
Chairman S. F. Dimmock of the War
Savings Committee regarding pledges
to purchase stamps made by the peo-
Pile Of Medina county. Mr.. Beery is
auditing the pledges and made it plain
that the Treasury Department expects
fulfllment of all pledges to purchase
War Savings Stamps.
"The first duty of every person in
this county is to redeem the pledge to
purchase these stamps" said Mr..
Beery. "This pledge has the first
call on the resources Of the individual
because the first duty of a citizen is
to his country. The Treasury De-
partment, thru the Medina County
War Savings Committee, has record
of all pledges and will check these
with view of investigating who have
failed to redeem their solemn promise
to the government to purchase"
The War Savings campaign has
gained great impetus thruout the state
and when the pledges to purchase are
fulfilled in Medina county it's present
per capita standing of $7.72 will be
greatly increased and this county Join
the more successful counties of the
state. ".
More than $7O,OOO,OOO worth of
these 'baby bonds" have been absorb
ed in Ohio to date.
Mr.. Dimmock, county chairman, sug
gests that all redeem their pledges at
the earliest moment and thus prevent
the necessity of a return call on the
part Of Mr.. Beery, who would then
have to take action.

ROUSING GET-TO-GETHER :
MEETING OF IL. men

If there is person in the county
who entertains the least doubt that
Medina county will overtop the pro-
digeous quota assigned her in the
Fourth Liberty Loan, that person
should have been present at the meet
ing Of the county organization last
Thursday night at K. of P. hall, and
his little doubt would have disappear
ed in twinkling.
No less than one hundred and seven
ty-fve men, representing the varied
interests of Medina county, attended
the meeting and exchanged ideas and
opinions as to the most efficient means
of putting over the county's big quota
of 81 ,345, 800, and in the quickest pos
sible time. These loyalists, represent
ing about every township in the coun-
ty, arrived in Medina in good time,
and nearly all were in the hall when
the meeting was called to order by
County Chairman Blake Mcdowell at
7:45 o'clock.
Before the business of the meeting
was taken up Mrs. Eta Musser James
sang two or three stirring ballads, ac-
companied by Mrs. Clark Reinhardt,
at the piano. The talent of these two
local musicians is too well known to
our people to require more than pass
ing mention of their excellent work
Friday night. Mrs. James sang at
ether times during the evening
Y Foifow hfs lniiou ouncemcnt of the
purpose of the meeting, Chairman Mt
| Dowell presented Rev. Isaac Woods Of
Cleveland, who came to Medina espec-
tally to address the meeting, through
the kindness of the Central Committee
of the Fourth Bank Reserve district
to which Medina county belongs. The
/ address given by Rev. Woods undoubt-
edly was one of the very best of the
kind ever listened to by Medina aud
ience. The speaker has Travelled ex-
tensively in Europe, even since the
outbreak of the war, and has made a
close study of the political conditions
of those countries that are now at
arms. No one could listen to DR..
Woods arraignment of the kaiser and
his war lords, based upon uncontro-
vertible facts, without a determined
feeling that the Liberty Loans are 60
| ing to be raised, whether it is fourth
loan or fourteenth. Rev. Woods
spoke for about an hour and was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
Other speakers were Rev. S. F.
Ross of Medina, and J. W. Fulton and
Mr.. Foley of Cleveland.
Details of the Loan campaign work
in the county were discussed by the
various committeeman, and the pep
with which the representative of the
different townships gave assurance Of
filled quotas left no uncertainty that
old Medina county will be on hand
with her million and third dollars,
and more likely an extra hundred
thousand for good measure.
The meeting lasted until nearly
midnight, and before leaving for home
the visiting committeeman were served
coffee and sandwiches, and cigars.

SPECIAL TAX LEVY

Voters of Medina village will have
submitted to them at the November
election a special tax levy for school
purposes. President Wilson in a re-
cent letter, said, II would therefore.
urge that the people continue to give
generous support to their schools of
all grades that no boy or girl shall
have less opportunity for education be-
cause of the war and that the nation
may be strengthened as it can only be
thru the right education of all its peo-
pie"
1t appears evident that the public
schools cannot continue to render the
best services to the children without
additional financial aid.
