letters and meet their friends Rec
reation is organized, so that during
the daylight hours when off duty
there Is an opportunity for every man
to have part in games, and to spend
the evenings happily.
Now there is the same need of
keeping up the morale among the
folks at home, For, after all, the
army is simply the cutting edge of
our national effort to win this war.
1t must get its impulse from the
folks back home! and if this impulse
is to be torceful enough to win the
victory, we must have a cheerful,
happy, fighting spirit among the
home folks.
During the past year we have had
a good deal of enthusiasm. We
have successfully put through the
various money-raising campaigns.
Our women folks have devoted them
| selves to Red Cross work and other
activities connected with the prepare
tons for war.
We have now entered into what
| the fighting men describe as the
| second stage of army work, the per-
lod when things do not look bright
and when we are likely to get down
in the mouth" We do not have quite
| the same enthusiasm for money-rais-
| ing campaigns. Farmers and stock
! men especially have been suffering
heavy financial losses. Shipping CON
| ditionh have been bad. Labor condi-
| tions are most unsatisfactory. Sons
have perhaps been taken for the
army, when they were much more
urgently needed at home. All of
these things are depressing, and un-
less we guard ourselves against it,
we are likely to get into mental at
titude which will not be good for us
or for the country
If we are to push the war through
|
keep cheerful as well as work hard.
| 1t is foolish to dwell upon our
| troubles until we become morbid. We
do not mean by this that we should
not do everything we possibly can to
| correct bad conditions, or that we
| should not try our best to prevent
our leaders from making mistakes
which, however we'll meant they may
| be, will prove costly to the country
should not permit ourselves to get so
| discouraged that we can not think
clearly not act vigorously
One of the favorite songs Of the
boys on the other side has a refrain
which is very popular:
whats the use of worrying?
1t never was worth while.
SO pack up your troubles in
your old kit bag,
And smile, smile, SMILE"
1t would be a good thing for folks
at home to adopt this song. Some of
the mothers whose sons have gone to
war--and, indeed, some of the faith
ers as welfare permitting them
| selves to get into a morbid state of
worry, which is bad for them and
bad for their boys. This is the time
Of all times when we need clear
heads and vigorous bodies, and
worry Injuries both. There is moth
ing to be gained by worrying over
things that can not be helped. We
should live our normal lives as far as
possible, and thus keep ourselves in
the very best fighting trim for the
heavy work the summer will demand

To the American Mother.

4 boy, yours or your neighbor's,
lies shivering In the trenches lover
there" Wet, cold, weary, or, worse
yet, on the stretches of No Mans
Land, wounded, alone, dying. You
cannot bear for him one agony you
cannot give him life, health or happi-
ness. But If all America does her
duty you can give to every American
lad who goes over the top the glory
Of hope-the reasonable certainty of
yictory-the emulation of knowing
that he does not die In vain-that
America has risen as one to make the
world fit for life, fit for home, fit for
freedom.
Invest In Liberty bonds now. Sub
scribe until 1t hurts. Take what you
can outright, and take on the Install
ment plan as many as you can stagger
under.
Remember-it's no longer "do your
bit" but do your all. Hold fast for
victory!

TWO KINDS OF PATRIOTISM.

Mr.. Farmer, you have brought lot
Of Idle land into tillage this spring.
You are going to raise all the grain
and forage and live stock your farm
can be made to produce. That's one
kind Of patriotism, and very neces-
sary kind.
Every farmer who brings a new acre
Of land into cultivation is soldier on
the firing line for liberty and democ-
racy.
But there is another kind of patriot
ism that is just as necessary. It Is
just as necessary that the stuff you
produce shall be put at the disposal of
the fighting forces, as 1t is that you
should raise 1t.
That means money. You have
money to pay for the labor Of farming
your land and producing grain and
stock. The government must have
money to buy your produce for the
fighting men in France. Money Is alb
solutely necessary to buy food, muni-
tions, clothing, ships and medical
stores.
You are doing your duty In raising
the crops, that is very true. But In a
war like this one no man does his full
duty who does not do all that he pos
sibly can do.
Bring out the grain you have stored
away. Sell it at the fair price fixed by
the government.
Bring out the money you have stored
up In the banks, or hidden away In
your iron box behind the barn. Every
dollar is urgently needed.
Invest every idle dollar you have In
Liberty bonds. The government will
repay you in few years. Meantime
you will receive interest at the rate of
~. per cent, with valuable tax exemp-
lions, to make the investment better,
Invest every dollar you can in Liberty
bonds.
Every dollar you bring out Of COZ
esalment means $40 added to the ASht.
ing capacity Of the United States In
the world war.

WOMEN AND THE
LIBERTY LOAN
BY MARION LUCE.

American women are protected from
the hardships of the trenches by the
courage Of the American men. 1t will
never be necessary to recruit an
American Battalion of Death-but in
the other two branches Of war serv-
Ice women can and must take their
places.
Women are taking mems places in
the workshop, the Office, even in the
fields. Wherever there is work to do,
American women will do it. No other
nation has given its women so much
none other deserves so much from
them.
Women can invest in Liberty bonds
Women can curtail waste and stimu-
late thrift, and invest In more Liberty
bonds.
When women save money to invest
In Liberty bonds, they serve doubly,
for they release all the labor and the
materials that would have been used
In manufacturing the things they
didn't buy, at the same time aiding
their government in continuing Amer
tca's holy war.

Women Must Save and Work.

Women, stand beside our fighting
boys in spiriti Keep up the morale
of our army by unfiinching courage
and heroic devotion at home. The
Third Liberty loan points your duty
the third nationwide call to universal
seryice-the third sword sharpened
for victory In the forge of freedom.
America must whit dares not fail
1t Is America, the unconquered, that
calls.
Women, 1t Is said, spend nine
tenths Of all the money that Is spent.
Let every woman scrutinize her fam
lily budget. She must do the major
part in taking her family's share Of
Liberty bonds. Upon the women of
America must rest, in large measure,
success Of the Third Liberty loan.

LARGE PLATE

Mrs. D. J. Gerow of the Witter
House, while driving their seven pas
kenger Cole car down Second street.
wanted to cross, Vine street and then
turn to the left to go back on Vine
street in accordance with street regu-
lations. The turn being short one
to make with a large car, she discov-
cred that she couldn't make the corner
near Brandt's Meat Market with out
striking the telephone pole which

mediately decided that she would go
south and west on Second street, and
while she was deciding to do this the
car went up onto the sidewalk, strik-
ing Brandt's market front, breaking
the large plate glass. No one was in
jured and the car received very little
damage because she was going very
slow.
