Don't Peak Through Fence.
BY CLARENCE H. ROWLAND.
(Manager Of the Worlds Champion
White Sox.)
Those men at the big environments
and training camps! Who are they?
Some Of them are the boys who play
ed with the White Sox or the rival
teams, but ninety per cent Of them are
the boys who crowded the bleachers
and grandstands to see us play the
great American game of baseball.
Remember how they cheered us to
victory or stuck by us in defeat, yell
ing and stamping and calling us by
our first names? Well, It's just those
boys who are getting ready to play
the big game Of the nations now, and
they have to 60 up against a team
that can use weighted ball like the
subm arine warfare or pull any other
trick. We Americans never can sit by
and see anyone get an unfair deal. So
It's up to us who stay in the war grand
stands or bleach Is to come across
with the encouragement. Just re-
member money talks, so buy your Lib
berty bonds to the limit Of your re-
sources. Buy your ticket and witness
the game like q man. not through a
knothole In the fence.

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 a very neces-
sary kind
Every farmer who brings new acre
Of land into cultivation is a soldier on
the firing line for liberty and democ-
racy.
But there Is another kind of patriot
Ism that Is just as necessary. 1t is
Just as necessary that the stuff you
produce shall be put at the disposal Of
the fighting forces, as it is that you
should raise it.
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, NUM-
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
sbly 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 con.
eealment means $40 added to the fight
Ing capacity Of The Unitsd States In
the world war.

l.. Dainty, Somewhere in France" The
boys passed through WatertOwn some
time last fall and dropped an address
and note from the car window asking

Dear Miss Kufahl: 1t has been al
most year now that l have been in
| the service and the 23rd Of this month
| will be a year. l saw something the
other day that would have made you
laugh, we were going out to the drill
grounds and it was market day in
town. We saw a woman coming in with
baby buggy, of course that was nothing
to see but all at once there was a
loud cry from the buggy and we look
| ed to see what she had that could cry
like that and it was pair of babies
all right, but they were goats aud say
| thought we would split our sides
laughing
And a little ways down the road we
met another woman with little sheep
in basket. They were going to mar
ket, but that is only a little of
what one sees in this country daily.
One day when we were going out to
| drill we saw rig come down the road
with woman driving. She had little
mule and man for team. Well they
worked together alright for one was
just about as lazy as the other.
Thanking you for your kindness, /
will close for today. Hoping to hear
| from you soon, l am your well wishing
friend. Sergt. 0. l.. Dainty.

PATRIOTIC INVESTMENTS

Law and order underlie all invest

Ihat is the reason wig the French
poet wrote the lines.
There Is only one futurs-that Of orr

NO matter how many farm mort.
cages you may have; no matter how
many skyscrapers you may own; no

may have for rent, or how many fac
tories you may be operating in
Vestment you have rests on the SOW
ere1gnty of the United States Of Amer
lea. The slightest danger that con.
fronts the United States acts as a de-
probation of every piece Of property
you own. Your farm Is valuable TO
you because the United States of
America has enacted laws which in
sure your right to the fee and title
OF your land. Anything that weak
ems the authority of the United States
weakens your hold on your farm. ANY
thing that cheapens the United States
OF America in the eyes of nations
cheapens all the investments you
have. Anything that tends to bring
the nation into subsection to foreign
powers, tends to bring your invest
ments to position of danger.
Every shrewd investor-every wise
property owner-every sane working
nian-knows that the sefety of all
persons and Of all property in the
United States rests on the safety of
the United States as a sovereign DOW
er. If the United States is lost, ev-

deprecated or entirely wiped out.
We are engaged at the present time
In desperate war. The issue is our
right to remain Stree and independ-
ent." If the military tyrant of Eu-
rope beats us we must be his vassals
and his slaves. To whip him and re-
tain our liberty and to insure our in
dependence, we must win a complete
victory over Germany. If we fail our
mortgages and flats are worthless.
The moral is: Invest In Liberty
Bonds and Win the Warl

At the Theatres

The most popular feminine imper.
senator, Julian Eltinge, is to be seer
in his latest Paramount picture, "The
Widows Might" at the Classic tonight
The story is that of young New
Yorker who decides to dabble In
| ranching and narrowly misses beine
robbed by notorious crook How he
succeeds in foiling the designs of this
gentleman through the disguise of g
woman, how the disguise gets him into
lots of trouble with the girl he loves
But how he at length wins out and
| saves both his girl and the ranch
makes a story of fun and adventure
throughout.
Gowns designed to express the per-
sonality of the star, Emily Stevens
are seen in the Metro production OF
the Broadway play, "Daybreak," which
will be shown at the Majestic Satur-
day. Miss Stevens believes that a
woman of society such as she por-
trays in "Daybreak" should wear
gowns that are conventional either in
outline or color, but not in both. The
stars gowns were designed in accord
ance with her own ideas and are sure
to be of particular interest to the
women members of audiences at the
Majestic theatre
'The Bar Sinister" an Edgar Lewis
production, will have it's second show
ing at the Classic tonight. How well
and how clearly the drama puts it's
case-that racial differences should
be recognized for what they really are
and need not bring with them any
jealousy on the one hand or any low
regard on the Other-can only be ap-
preciated by seeing this unusual pic
ture.
In Stella Maris," Mary Pickford's
latest picture, at the Majestic Sunday
and Monday, she plays two roles, the
sweet and appealing character of
Stella Maris, and Unity Blake, an un-
cOuth figure. One Of the big scenes in
the photoplay shows the terrific beat
ing Unity receives from the drink
sOdden woman who has taken her from
the orphan asylum
Jewel Carmen in 1.-THE Girl With the
Champagne Eeyes" will be a screen at
traction at the Classic Sunday. Breath
ing tale of love and devotion inter
r,,sxr y n
bright lights, the picture carries one
on to climax that is both original
and spectacular, and one that will
hold until the last foot of film has
been run.

Push Enemy Back.

Vienna, July 2-The Austrian war
Office admits the complete evacuation
by the Austrian forces of the two i'm
portant strategic positions of Col del
Rosso and Monte di Val Bella on the
western end of the Italian front.
The statement says:
Southeast of Asiago violent fight
ing has again developed Since the
maintenance of Col del Rosso and
Monte di Val Bella could only have
been effected at the cost of great
sacrifices, the occupants of these
points were withdrawn into their
former main positions"
London, July 2.-Their recently
adopted program Of striking the
Germans at various points along the
Franco-Belgian line is being continued
by both the British and French. They
are capturing a vantage point here
and there and harassing the enemy
while the preparations for the resump-
ton of his offensive are under way.
The French hit the line in local at
lacks at two separate points, but
both on the western side of the Ger
man salient which projects down to
the Marine from the Aisne- They
gained ground in each attack and
took prisoners and machine guns.
The most pronounced gain was ef-
fected by General Petain's troops
Just above the point where their line
joins the American sector northwest
of Belleau wood
Britons Under Heavy Fire.
Tension is increasing along the
British front in France as the cres-
cendo Of the German artillery fire
mounts higher and higher From
Ypres to Rheims the big guns are
buster than they have been for soma
days.
The German command is known to
have large forces in readiness on the
main battlefields of France. They may
strike anywhere on the 200 mile main
front as their communications give
them much elasticity of movement. Tt
is expected also that the blow. when
and where it does come, will be the
mlghtiest the enemy can make.
Concentrate Opposite Americans.
Along the line northwest of Cha
teau Thierry, where the Americans
hold a sector, the Germans are re-
ported concentrating troops and sup
plies. Aerial fighting has been very
severe near the American lines. 1t is
not unlikely the Germans may plan
to give the Americans hard blow
in payment for the recent American
successes on this front
German air raids against Paris
continue, but in three attempts last
week and two since, the enemy caused
no great damage and few casualties.

PRESIDENT ASKS
FURTHER POWER
Desires Authority to Operate All
Wire Systems During Per-
iod of War.
LEADERS ARE ACTIVE
Senate and House Members Planning
Immediate Consideration of Re-
quest in Order to Secure Action
Before Recess.

Washington, July 2.-President Will
son has approved legislation to au-
thorize government control and op-
GRAFTON of telegraph and telephone
systems during the war, and leaders
in congress are preparing for its i'm
mediate consideration with a view to
action, if possible, before both houses
recess this week.
Secretaries Baker and Daniels and
Postmaster Burleson, all of whom
have indorsed the pending bill by
Representative Aswell of Louisiana,
proposing this authority, were invited
to appear before the house interstate
commerce committee to further eX-
plain their views as to the necessity
for action at this time
No Reference to Strike Call.
The Presidents statement was in a
note to- Chairman Sims, approving a
letter from Postmaster General Burle-
son. There was no direct reference
in any of the correspondence to the
call sent out by the Commercial
Telegraphers' Union for a strike Of
Western Union operators on July s.
Mr.. Burleson, however, wrote the
President that he deemed the legis-
lation necessary Eat this moment
when paralysis of large part of the
system of electrical communication is
threatened with possible consequences
prejudicial to our military prepare
lions and other public activities that
might prove disastrous"
Fight Likely in Senate.
1t was said that, on the Senate side
at least, there probably would be
strong opposition TO the bill that
would make it difficult for the admin
istration to get action before the re-
cess.
No statement was forthcoming in
executive quarters as to whether the
President plans to- make immediate
use of the proposed power 1t was in.
timated, however, that he probably
would await results of the strike
call.
