German Treatment.

Financial statements of rural
banks all over Missouri show more
money on deposit in them than
ever before That means that in
addition to all that has been invest
ed in Liberty bonds of former issues,
more money is concentrated in
rural centers of population than
ever before-a larger percentage of
the wealth of the state is con-
centrated there than ever before.
That is fact which must not be
lost sight of in the present Liberty
loan drive. To win this war Uncle
Sam must have men, food and
money. The men have been and
are being secured. The farmers are
responding nobly to the call to in
crease the food supply. But the
money is as necessary as men and
food. and with so large percentage
of money in the hands of farmers
the government cannot hope to
raise the immense sums needed un-
less the farmers lend back to the
government all the money not need
ed to carry on their increased en-
deavOrs. Unless the money comes
quickly. speed in carrying out the
government program is impossible.
and both patriotism and the promp-
tings of humanity make it i'm.
perative that the farmers lend back
literally to their government the
unusual share of wealth it is their
present good fortune to enjoy.

NURSES FEEL SUGAR LACK.
"Reader" Says St. Elizabeth's En-
ployes Are Unfairly Treated.

Editor The washington Herald:
Judging from the local stores. the
residents of the city do not seem to
be yet suffering from the sugar IA
mine, though the employees Of st.
Elizabeth's Hospital are still keenly
feeling the effects OF II. Naturally
they have a perfect right to consider
this just cause for indignation. es-
pecially attendants and nurses, who
are at the present time expected to
perform the duties of two or three. A
few examples Of this Is one male at
tendant being left on the ward for
several hours with one hundred pa
tents and a female attendant alone
all day on a ward with twenty-five
male patients. who are all able
bodied men, which Is extremely dan
gerous.
The superintendent'se excuse for tb'
is scarcity of help. Well. why al q
they so short of help? Just simply
because the salary paid here Is no in
ducement to those seeking employ
ment, and the inferior board and un-
fair treatment received after they
come here soon discourages those who
have any ambition at all to do better.
A present employe who has been in
lAt EO6DlNdl btENlCt lth gtdEb anu
a faithful worker at that, has been
listed to the draft board as having
been in the service eighteen months.
Now Is there any fairness In that?
Wouldn't that disgust anyone with
being employed here?
Some time ago an article was pub
lished in a local paper referring to
the increase in pay Received by some
employees here. The attendants and
nurses didn't receive an increase,
this article stated (or intimated as
much). The reason for this was that
they were practically oblivious to the
world, or that the world at large did
not recognize them. II the superin-
tendent had had the interest of his
employees in mind he certainly would
have emphatically contrRdicted such
statement, for. after all, who does
any more for suffering humanity than
those who care daily for the poor, un-
fortunate insane?
II would be wise for the superinten-
dent to bear in mind to a little
greater degree the welfare of his em-
ployes, as the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when he will be compelled
to face a greater problem than he is
now trying to solve with reference to
shortage of help.
For II those who are at present in
his employment are not deserving of
a little sugar In their tea and coffee
three times a day, as well as a fair
deal occasionally. then they will soon
20 elsewhere where employers have
their employees as well as their own
interest at heart

PROFITEERING In WASHINGTON
Correspondent Calls Attention to
Remarkable Food Prices.

Editor, The Washington Herald: I
do not want my pockets picked or to
witness the public having their pock-
cts picked with the audacity OF
Kaiserful of divine right" Washing
ton is suffering and has been suffering
from the impositions OF petty prof.
iteering more than any city in the
country in so far as can find out,
and have taken the trouble to care
fully watch the produce prices in many
cities less favorably located to have
produce, fruits. fish and poultry sup
piled at Normal prices. Here is a sam
pie Of what we are up against: Tur-
nips at Is cents each that weigh about
two pounds. or Il 1-2 cents a pound,
or 1851 q bushel Cfffty-five pounds. The
highest wholesale prices 1 have been
able to find is 3 cents a pound or Sl.S
a bushel. Here Is a profit of $50
hushel. This is but one of many bold
extortions Washington consumers are
tolerating from this degenerated greed
OF dealers that assume they can pick
the public's pockets with impunity.
Why should the authorities not make
it criminal act to allow more than
what can be determined as a rightful
profit, which all retailers and mer-
chants are entitled to? II a pawn
broker exacts a usurous interest he
will be punished, and severely at that;
is the transgressor any more guilty in

WANTS CHURCHES OPEN.
Caushc Criticism for Order Closing
Houses of Worship.

To the Editor of The Herald:
Kindly spare me a space in your
valuable paper. The edict has gone
forth that two-thirds of the
churches must close.
We are at war. Why? Because
we as a nation have and still are
drifting from God.
History but repeats itself.
The Jews when they drifted from
God were always under a yoke, but
when they returned to God He
fought with them and they were
successful.
The closing of Gods houses, the
leaving open of the theaters, movies,
dance halls and pool rooms to draw
our young people from God is one
of the most injurious orders that
could have been issued.
How the devil in hell must have
laughed with joy over it,
Jesus. the founder of His church
on earth. looking down on Wash
ington. the Capital of the greatest
nation on earth. must have wept
as He did when He looked down on
Jerusalem from the mountain.
He must have said, Oh Washing
ton. Washington. born in affliction,
TtdFeu anu Inaue strong Dy free-
dom, how 1 would gather you under
my wing as a hen does her chick
ems. but you have grown naughty
and proud in your strength.
You must humble yourself and
come back to me as the Jews of old,
or you likewise will perish.
Rescind the order. Let all
churches stay open. Let two-thirds
of them keep only heat. say 40 per
cent. to keep the pipes from freez-
ing.
The faithful will attend gladly.
VIII not our boys often have d.
vine service in the open air on the
field. in rain. cold and sunshine?
VIII we not also make the same
sacrifice and attend services in a
cold church.
Do not close the churches and
thrn our young people to the thea
ters and dance halls.
1 notice that Mr.. Weaver,as soon
as he issued the order, left the city
so we have no remedy through him.
What Is DR.. Garfield's stand re-
gardinE the churches? How about

Games this week-Tuesday: Central
vs.. Technical. Friday: Central VS..
Business; Western VS.. Eastern.
It is certainly q hard matter to fig-
IRE out Just why Central does not play
better basketball against the high
schools. In their games with outside
teams they simply win with the great
est ease Take the games with the
Baltimore Poly's and Staunton Milf
tary Academy. Their opponents did
not appear to be In the same class
with them. Pitted against the high
school quints they have barely been
able to win, and they were beaten
by Business, which Friday was de-
feated by Eastern.
So far the league games have been
hard-fought and the winner has been
good enough or lucky enough to win
by a slight margin. An extra period
has been necessary in many Of the
contests.
Technical is coming strong and will
likely lower somebody's colors be-
fore the season comes to an end.
Business had hard time winning
from them last Tuesday.
Central IL now leading the league,
hut they will have to play much bet
ter basketball than they have dis
closed so far IL they are going to re-
tain the leadership. They are sche-
duled for two hard contests this week
