WILL YOU COOPERATE
ITO TRUE AMERICANS:

TO TRUE AMERICANS:
To oppose the War Savings movement is to OPP
pose victory on the part of the United States
and its Allies.
To be Indifferent to this great movement is in
effect to be Indifferent to the murder of women
children and other civilians; Indifferent to the
appeal of outraged humanity.
To belittle the War Savings movement is to
belittle the heroic sacrifices of countless dead and
wounded soldiers who fought for your protection.
Failure to back the government in the u S. S..
campan is failure to be true American. The
American who does not help America to the limit
of his means and ability automatically helps Ger
many to the limit of his means and ability
In these times person either helps or hindcrs.
If our soldiers did not take their duties serious
y, there would be disastrous results for those at
home-for YOU.
And if those at home do not take their duties
seriously there will be disastrous results for our
soldiers for our sailors, and for us ALL
If our fighting men can GIVE their lives, sure
ly can LEND our money
''Will you cooperate, or will you obstruct?"

BAKER is WAKING UP

IT HE visit of Secretary Baker to the European
war zone has apparently had beneficial effect
upon the war activities of this countr. 1t seems
to have shown our secretary of war that 1t will
be necessary to do something more than throw
corn into the American coop and call choOk! choOk!
to the Germans in line to get them to give them
selves up. 1t is losing valuable time to depend
upon propaganda to cause dissension in the Ger
man ranks. They have got to be whipped to a
finish before there can be any end to the and
the fact that the allies are pretty nearly at the
end of their tether unless America comes to the
rescue quickly, is very apparent. Germany is with
out question stalking her all on effort to force
the issue and gain decisive victory before Amer
lea can get into the war efectually and unless she
wins that victory within the next few months she
cannot hope to win at all. Nobody knows this bet
ter than the Germans themselves. That's why
they are playing such reculess game.
Apparently Mr.. Baker some of the neces-
sity for quick action while in Europe apparently
something which had heretofore entirely escaped
him. and as a result production in all lines is being
speeded up. The United States is combing the seas
for the necessary shipping to handle the troops
equipment and supplies. The first large American
cannon has been started on its way to Europe. Ar
army of 5000 900 has been decided upon and vii
be indicted into the service as quickly as possible
Not much is being said by the papers lately in re
gard to the aerial program, but the entire depart
ment is to be reorganized, we are told, and it is t.
be hoped that better Roadway will be made in thi

THE organization of the Boys Working Re-
serve throughout the country is a splendid move,
and if worked Systematically and intelligently will
go far towards relieving the labor shortage which
will be felt as result of so many of our young and
able-bodied men being called to the colors. And
it will be doing positive service to the boys as
well, in finding them useful and profitable en-
ployment One of the problems that confronts
many parents is to find something for their boys
to do and way of keeping them at it. If your
boys have not registered in the working reserve,
you should see that they do at once, regardless
of whether you expect to keep them employed on
your own premises or not.

WHY does not the government arrive at some
decision in regard to the employment of German
prisoners of war upon the roads and highways of
our country. We can rest assured that any Amer
leans who fall into the hands of the German gov
eminent will be set to work, and kept at it as long
as they able, and they will not fare any better
if the German prisoners in this country allowed
to remain idle than if they set to work. There
is LOT of road work needed in this part of the
state, and a force of Germans could be employed
to good purpose on the Arrowhead Trail from the
blackridge to the Nevada line, at least. It is
really no hardship to put these people to work. and
it would be in the line of economy and efficiency

WHO'S WHO AT RINGO

"They have the most remarkable
clerk at the Ringo Hotel . believe |
ever saw and I've been on the road
20 years." said a commercial traveller
recently on a visit to this city. "I've
arrived at the hotel at 8 o'clock in the
afternoon and 3 o'clock in the morning
and the same chap is always on duty
lust as bright as a dollar and as &C
commodating as you'll find anywhere
I wonder when he sleeps or if he ever
does ?"
The Joke is on the travelling man,
for while the day clerk and the night
clerk cannot be told apart by ninety
per cent of those who know them, new
ertheless they are two separate per-
sons. Ralph Null is on duty at night
and Russell Null during the day. They
are twins and are just breaking into
the hotel game. That they are max
ing good is a well known fact and
while their identity is perhaps hard
to establish, it nevertheless goes with
out saying hat no matter which one
it is that is on duty, he is ION the
lob" every minute Of the time.

The Local Exemption Board called
Ernest Fisher and W. C.. Brauer, Of
this city, Friday, and informed them
that they would be sent to Kelly Field,
San Antonio, Texas, from which point
they would be sent to France almost
Immediately.
The men will be given a few days to
arrange their affairs before they de-
part for the South. At Kelly Field
they will be given a short preliminary
training and then sent abroad. 1t is
thought their stay in this country will
be very limited.
The men will be sent to France, ac-
cording to Chairman E. S. Wilson Of
the local Exemption Board. They are
both expert b~rick-layers and are be-
ing sent in response to a message
| from General Pershing to the War De-
partment recently requesting that as
many brick-layers as possible be sent
to him.
Both men were in the first draft.
Brauer is of German descent. Just
what manner Of work they will be en-

HUNTERS ARE STARTING EARLY
Already 1877 Licenses For 1918 Have
Been Issued

This year hunting and trapping
seems to be a very popular sport with
the residents in this county. So far
this month 1877 licenses have been is
sued by the county clerk.
Last year the total number issued
was TOT. November had the largest
total with almost $50. A good many
of the Mexico residents have obtained
these permits to hunt rabbits during
the deep snow.
The youngest license holder on rec
ord is John Graham, IL years old. He
is rapidly taking after his father, j.
B. Graham, who is well known in local
hunting circles.
The Oldest is Mr.. Nutter, of this
city. He is seventy-six years old. One
Audrain county woman has been
granted a license, Mrs. H. L. Hudson,
Of northeast of Mexico. She traps
through the winter and sells her furs.
It is reported she has had real good
luck. Much better than some Of our
novice trappers in Mexico.

Dear Mother, Sis and Dad:

deep. You would not believe that
there are mud holes five feet deep,
but it is a fact.

fog as they have here.

from the front. l must tell you l put
in a mighty miserable two months
there and l was not doing at all what
/ wanted to do. If l had stayed "a
hours longer 1 would have gone up in
powder smoke, as last night a big
shell landed upon my old home.
"The poor fellow that moved in there
moved out in sections. It's a very nice
to be lucky in the army, because a
mans life is the least valued thing
here, l think.
~ am sure one home-sick boy. If
| ever get settled again it will take a
car load of dynamite to bulge me. l
don't want to live close to a German
or a soldier.

28 hours now and am so tired and
sleepy and hungry that / can't hardly

CRUISER U-B0ATS
CAUSE INCREASE
IN SHIP LOSSES

IN SHIP LOSSES
LONDON, Jan. II. - The subma-
rine warfare has gradually taken on a
new phase since the wintry weather
set in. Submarines of the so-called
cruiser type are now doing most OF
the sinking, while the smaller sub
marines apparently are combining their
work largely to mine-laying.
The reason. for this shifting Of Ger
man tactics is that shall submarines
are not good surface craft in stormy
seas, while the cruiser type has prov
ed wonderfully seaworthy, being &C
tually more manageable than the
modern torpedo destroyer in heavy
weather.

His regiment landed in France the
last of August. He has been under
shell fire in the front line trenches =.
As he has indicated in some of his
letters, he has been mired down in
the mud in the trenches up to his
knees. He once narrowly escaped be-
ing killed by the Germans. It was
his regiment that so h~eroically braved
the shell fire at Cambria.
