spousta has ss5 separate designs. on
his body ranging from a foot square
to about<an inch square, *.
The Liberty Tattooed Man" gets
his name from the fact that most of
his designs are Of a patriotic, nature.
A huge reproduction Of the Spirit
Of 1875" is tattooed across his chest.
The Statue Of Liberty, with the sun
rising back Of 1t, making a "snn-
burst" adorns the greater part of his
back. The Star Spangled Banner is

When Great Britain became one of
the Allies in the war against Germany,
Spousta had two British lions, one on
each of his shoulders, tattooed. ~ 70.
He declares that these taxtooes
placed by himself and other artist
friends were put on his body because

Defense Society
Names Mrs. Cooley

The American Defense society in
widening the scope of its activities
throughout the nation has appointed
Mrs. Roger w. Cooley of this city as a
member Of the Womcn's National
Committee. to represent this district.
In an article sent to Mrs. Cooley, re-
garding the society's aims, decided
force is used in emphasizing the need
Of immediate action. In part the
communication says:
German agents in U midst are
notva Pigment Of the Imagination but
a very real danger.
I'm this war, if you cannot go to the
front you will want to serve at home,
| especially now that our W losses are
beginning to be felt, and we are at
last actually realizing the war. Ger
many is modified to the last man and
woman. and if America Is to win this
a WI must also mobilize those at
home--eyery man and m Serv-
ice at home does not necessarily mean
that 0 must give up your family
obligations or the time necessary for
earning your livelihood. Such serv-
ice can and should be given in your
spare time.
1.-The first thing you can do Is to
concern yourself with the desperate
activities Of the German Empire in
this country. some Of these activities
are political; others are industrial
attempts at dynamiting u war plants
and burning buildings. Still others
are in the realm of propaganda
spreading propaganda under the guise
Of peace talk.
"If you are an American citizen, If
you believe in the ideal Of life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness for
which our ~forefathers gave their lives
in the Revolution, o can aid Amer
lean patriotism by enrolling at once in
an organization like the American De-
tense Society.
The. American Defense Society is a
national propaganda society, recently
characterized by the New York Sun as
the most outspoken opponent Of Ger
man propaganda in this country 1t
is engaged in waging relentless war
fare against enemy activities at
home"
Some of the prominent women with
whom Mrs. Cooley will be associated
in her work are Mrs. ]. w. Hartman,
Mrs. N. L. Beekman, Mrs. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr- Mrs. Robert Lansing,
Mrs. Charles S. Whitman, and other
members of the Woman's National
Committee, which has been appointed
to assist the American Defense So

farm hands to meet the farm labor
shortage caused by the a will be
laid before I. F. Reed, federal farm
specialist, and P. p. Lewis of the state
agricultural board, by I. J.. Gale, di-
rector Of the st. Louis county division
Of the farm help volunteers of Mis-
souri,.
MI. Gale say that men placed in
deferred classification could be sent
to these camps and made skilled farm
hands. the same as men are sent to
shipyards.
Farmers produce the food for the
soldiers and their labor question is
ultra essential" Gale said. MANY
farmers don't want city boys; they
want only experienced hands"
Several offers from farmers to use
their farms free of cost have been re.
| ceived.
Gale stated that at least SIC, ooc
will, be needed to finance the training
| camp project.
