Our country is fighting in the
most desperate struggle of history.
1t is a struggle so vast and mo-
mentous as to demand the most
complete support of every one of
its citizens. Passive loyalty-the
loyalty of peace times-is not sutfi-
cient. The brand of loyalty now
demanded is the kind that impels
one to offer himself and his all, if
necessary. that his country may be
victorious in the great conflict.
Most Of us can not go into the
fighting forces; most of us can not
enter into those industries directly
connected with the war, but all of
us can show our neighbors that we
have the right brand Of patriotism.
Our Government is urging upon
us the necessity of saving as an
essential to victory. We are told
that there is not enough man
power and not sufficient materials
in the country to win quick vic
tory if we continue to use this man
power and these materials as we
did before the war. 1t is pointed
out that there are now more than
100000 men in the Army and
Navy, and that by August l this
number will be increased to 3,000,-
900, with a steady addition to that
number from then on. These men
not only cease to be producers, but
they become consumers on a vast
scale.
Thus it is that we are urged to
buy only those things which we
need in order that we shall not use
up labor and waste materials and
transportation, so vitality necessary
to the Government in its war work
and so much needed in the manu-
facture of things essential to the
health and efficiency of our citi-
ZenS.
BY following the Governments
request to produce to our maxi
mum capacity and to consume as
little as possible, we shall give
practical expression to our loyalty
a militant loyalty, the brand
which stamps us as being willing
to do our part at home by Sacrific-
ing. by getting down to a war
basis, by backing up our Govern
ment with all our strength. With
our money savings we can then buy
War Savings Stamps and perform
a double service by giving the
Government current funds with
which to buy the labor and ma
terials so much needed for war
purposes which we have refraned
from using. That is loyalty.

LEE COOCH

The fire Of the hearth at the
Cooch homestead dulls, fickers
and only the glow of dying embers
remains. The Master has gone. In
the death of Lee Cooch the com
munity has lost a good, good
friend. Interested in all and
everything he played a modest but
effective part in every movement
toward better things. Farm life
and public schools were his hob
bies, and any proposition for the
advancement of these had his in
terest, his support, and to make
effective, his energy. Never dra-
matte or spectacular, he did a work
worth while. He knew and under
stood the hard problems of more
farmers than perhaps any man in
the county, and gave himself I'M
selfshly to solve them. His career
was short but none the less we'll
done.
In his home the man and gentle
man showed best. Here, he with
his family, carried out we'll the
traditions which shadow around
his historic home. At the freside
there has been in recent years a
hospitality that fortuned friends
will recall with more than passing
pleasure. The grace, cheer, and
freedom of thought of those gath
erings will linger through the
passing years.
The fire fickers. The Master is
away. Those who remain gather
round the hearth. Memory, pile
on the wood.

TRUTH ABOVE ALL THINGS
lneomparably the Best Business Asset
That Man or Firm Can
Possess.

A successful merchant. when asked
the question. "What is the best asset
Of business hOuSe?" said: The best
asset a business house can possess Is
a reputation for absolute truth."
Such was the exhOrtatiOn lately
given TO a young man who has yet to
arrive, by a veteran who, in well-earn-
ed retirement, can comfort himself
with the reflection that he has
been one of the most successful bust
ness men Of the age.
To the cynic advice of this quality
may seem, perhaps, to call up shades
Of George Washington at the period
when ''he couldn't tell a lie" But
men Of sense long ago have realized
that, even should they brush the ques-
ton of morals aside and be content to
argue the matter from its lowest and
most cynical standpoint, the truth-tell-
ing policy still remains the best; in
fact, the only possible working policy
for the man who aims at any definite
and lasting success In business.
The truth-teller is, in short, the man
who stands to make good in the busi-
ness field; he is the only man who
counts to any really vital extent

UNIQUE IN DECORATIVE IDEAS

New on Old World.

A famous prima donna had two
rooms of her town house decorated
with what she called, The. records Of

To be translated. this meant that
her bedroom was papered with leaves
Of music from the operas in which
she had won fame and fortune, and
that her dining room was similarly
decorated with the hotel bills she had

ANY sympathy that a soft-hearted

misplaced" says Miss Ellen Velvin In
From Jungle to Zoo"
MANY gorillas have been captives,
but in spite of the greatest care few
have lived more than a comparatively
short time. There seems TO be no par
ticular ailment from which they suf-

heart sickness. They grieve them

apes In good health it Is absolutely
necessary to give them plenty of COM

tedium of captivity, which they I'M

On November l.. 1881, the assOci-
was said to have been founded by
AdOlphus, count of Cleves, under the
title. "D'Order Want Geeken GesellS-
chap" Though bearing n designation
savOring too strongly of contempt, the
members of this order were composed
of noblemen and gentlemen of the
highest rank and renOwn, who In this
way formed themselves into a body for
humane and charitable purposes. They
were in no way connected with the
Feast Of Fools and similar absurdi-
ties of medieval times. They were not
dissimilar TO the Odd Fellows, For
esters and other similar organizations
OF the present day. which include with
in their sphere of operations, benevO-
lent and useful as well as cOnvivial

The insignia borne by the knights
Of this order consisted Of a jester or
a fool, embroidered on the left side Of
their nantes and depicted dressed in
red and silver vest. with a cap and
bells on his head, yellow stockings, a
cup filed with fruits In his right hand,
and in his left, gold key, as symbol
Of the affection which ought to exist
among the members of the society.
They met once u year at Cleves on
the first Sunday after Michaelmas day

was held extending over seven days,
