come to Richmond to participate in
the formal opening Of the Liberty
Loan drive, reach the rostrum in the
Coliseum Saturday night they proba-
bly, will be greeted by the largest in
door crowd that has ever been assem-.
bled in Richmond.
Saturday the committee found that
from a modest beginning the plans for
the meeting had grown by leaps and
bounds until original program details
had to be supplemented in order to
meet new conditions. AS an example
the parade of fraternal societies,
which originally was to be an in
formal affair, the various bodies sim
ply marching to the Coliseum from
their lodge halls, became a much big
ger thing 10 handle that its promoters
had anticipated.
Many of the orders that week ago
had not been heard from, notified the
committee that they would partici-
pate and Saturday indications pointed
to an aggregate of 1000 or more men
who will be in line.
The program in the Coliseum will
be as previously outlined and proba.
bly, there will be no deviation there
from. Mr.. Bookwalter and Miss Flea
nof Baker, Of Indianapolis, and George
Barnard, of Newcastle. the speakers
of the evening, arrived in Richmond
Saturday afternoon and were met by
reception committees. The visitors
were taken to the Westcott hotel.
With the members of the reception
committee the speakers will be in the
parade Saturday night. special auto

A. ". BLICKWEDEL
UNDER CHARGES
OF D|SL0YALTY
Prominent Richmond Ger
man Said to Be Bitter
Against Government.

Charges of disloyalty have been filed
with the Wayne county council of de-
fense against Adolph w. Blickwedel
president of the German Insurance
society, and former member of the
Richmond city council Blickwedel
was to be given hearing at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon before the mem.
bers of the county council.
1t is said that Blickwedel has been
particularly bitter against the govern
ment, and on one occasion is said to
have made the remark, -
the United States government! 1t
hasn't got any president. anyhow"
The county council is determined, ac-
cording to it's chairman. to put an i'm.
mediate damper on German propo-
gandists in this locality and justice
will probably be meted out to Blick-
wedel, if the charges against him are
proven, that will serve as an example
for all time to come to those who favor
the German government and its kaiser
in Americas war against tyranny and
autocracy.
Blickwedel is president of the South
Side Improvement association, and is
actively engaged in its affairs. He is
one of the most prominent Germans in
the community and is said to have
been born in Germany and immigrated
to this country.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful Of Salts II
Back Hurts or Bladder
BOthers.

We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blod is filled with uric
acid, says q well-known authority.
who warns us to be constantly on
guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating
acid, but become weak from the
overwork; they get sluggish; the
. eliminative tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood
to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and
feel like Jumps of lead, and you
have singing pains in the back or
the urine is cloudy, full of sedi-
ment, or the bladder is irritable,
obliging you to seek relief during
the night; when you have severe
headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach
or rheumatism in bad weather, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts: take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a
few days your kidneys will act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon Juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
tralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation
thus ending urinary and bladder
disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes a delightful eff
fervescent lithia-water drink, and
nobody can make a mistake by TAX
ing little occasionally to keep the
kidneys clean and active.-(Adv.)

oN THIS DAY THINK
 ON THESE THINGS

If you hate sin and evil, then hate Prussianism'
 If vou love the devil and all his do- ;nos then, and only then, love the ano,,v of God and mankind, the Ger ,,onv which has sold it's soul to the devil.
 Has any man dared to tell you to sink vour manhood or womanhood and love the unspeakable Turk-or, as a noted divine once said from his pulpit, moved thereto by the fearful crimes which were then being committed, the damned Turk?"
 As you think of the awful atroci- ties committed during the last four years by the Turks with German aid in torturing and murdering 1000, ,000 Armenian Christians and in sending into the horrors of Turkish harems the fairest of the long-suffering Ar menian girls, do you love these lruteS!
 Would you love them if your own wife or daughter had hus been treated?
 Never let yourself think of Ger many or of Germans merely as mis- guided nation, forced into war.
 Never think of Germans as of the soldiers of other wars to be forgiven when the struggle is over
 Think of Germans as super-fends who for generations have planned world conquest for world footing.
 Think of Germans as of people who have gloated over crimes of fright fitness.
 Think of Germans as of people who made holidays to celebrate the mur- derine of women and children on the Lusitania.
 Think of Germans who have had one supreme aim in life, viz: to enrich their country and themselves by mur- dering millions of people in order to loot the world
 Think deep down in your soul of this nation of liars, of looters, of rGpists, of murderers, of fends in- canate, and then make your solemn pledge with God and man as your witness, if not fighting on the battle fields of France you will, to the last ounce of your strength, work and fight at home until the accursed power of Germany and her allies has been crushed, their ring Headers shot or hanged, and the heaviest financial penalties imposed upon these nations, that the world may never again be deluged in blood by nations so steeped Tn barbarism and sin. Anything short of that would be premium upon mur- der a premium upon rape, premium upon highway robbery and a reflec- ton upon those who have died to save civilization from Germanys barbar- Ism.-Richard H.

STAY WITH THE LAND

Of recent years the number of men and women, and especially young men and young women, who, after being reared on the farm, have moved to the city, count up very considerably. Whether to majority of them the change will prove profitable time alone will tell As seen from our yes terdays our todays an dtomorrows are apt to turn out quite differently from our expectations.
 From the viewpoint of the farm at present, the future holds a very cheer ful perspective. Every dog has his day and this is applicable to cities and farms as we'll as to men and dogs Cities have benefited from the influx from the land, but only temporarily. In the end they have lost. The farm built city owes it's prosperity to the country. In return it adds to the value of the farm by rendering market service indispensable to the land. Often, it is true, the city buys the farmers products at wholesale prices and sells them back at retail prices. This, though, is not the city's fault. By cooperation this disadvantage could easily be overcome by the farm CTS themselves. In time it will be overcome. Good roads, automobiles and motor trucks are wiping out city boundaries. Rather, it may be said, these are extending city boundaries, all but the city taxes, to the homes of the country-Farm and Ranch.
