NATIONAL SONGS ARE

Since the beginning of the war Prus-

ain and the United States owe even
their national anthems to German kul-
tur. the one directly and the other at
remove of one step. Capt Perry Bel

only punotured this claim. but has
clearly proved that the Teutonic sheer

ism in the Eighteenth Century. He has

Captain Belmont has the backing of
many authorities to show that Lully

time of Louis XIV. originated the mu-

the chain of evidence which Captain
Belmont has produced appears in the
memoirs of Nine. de Crequy. which

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
DRIVE is NOW ON
Voluntary Subscriptions This Week.
Soliciting Committees
Next Week.

The Fourth Liberty Loan Drive
started last Saturday. This is pub
licity week, and the actual work of
soliciting will start next week.
1t is the idea to get as many volun-
tary subscriptions as possible and all
who will subscribe without solicita-
ton should go to their banks and
make their subscriptions.
Up to this morning $1,000 had
been subscribed at the banks of
Liberal, and the subscription of the
$500.
The quota for the county is $685.
$50, and it is expected to raise this
easily. With the quota so low we
should oversubscribe it by good
margin. This money must come and
we had just as well dig deep and hard
while we are at it and save time and
expense.
The method of payment is as fol-
lows:
10 per cent with subscription.
20 per cent November 21st.
20 per cent December 10th.
20 per cent January 10th.
80 per cent January 30th.
Don't wait to be called upon for
subscriptions. You know as much as
the committee does as to the necessity
for the Loan, and why make someone
spend time which they can use to bet
ter advantage discussing it.
Success is now GROWING our eff
forts. Germany is tottering, the 9TH
er powers are almost ready to give
up and quit. A strong over-subscrip-
ton of this loan in short time will
mean the shortening of the war, and
if we can end it day sooner let's dig
to the bottom of the pile.
Let's bring the boys home quickly.
Your subscription will be the means
of disheartening the kaiser.
Play this game strong. Don't be
gutter. If you have your life and
health and your family don't be-
grudge the little it takes to support
the men who have given up all these
for you.
If you don't do all you're able and
then some you are dirty, cowardly
Stacker and do not deserve to associ-
ate with respectable people.
Don't do any "bit" this time. Do
something handsome, something you
can feel proud of.
When the boys come back and ask
how many Liberty Bonds you have,
don't be ashamed to tell them.

CONGRESSMAN SHOUSE
SPOKE TUESDAY EVENING
Court Room Packed to Hear Our
Representative in
Congress.

Congressman Jouett Shouse, Rep
resentative of the Big Seventh ir
Congress, was here Tuesday evening
and spoke to a crowd that completely
filled the court room, holding his
large audience in close attention.
His talk was principally of the
war. He told of the work that had
been accomplished, and of the gigan-
tic task that it has been. How it was
necessary to even dredge out our own
harbors in France, how we had
shipped saw mills and cut lumber to
build warehouses for our supplies and
then built railroads to the military
bases.
He gave the information that there
is at the present time two million
American soldiers in Europe, and
spoke of the work of organizing this
great army and equipping it, and the
problem of getting it on European
soil.
He mentioned the fact that only
one transport had fallen victim of
German submarines, altho the kaiser
had boosted that America could new
er land an army in Europe.
He told of the work of the heads of
Departments of the Government, the
great responsibilities they had Shout
dered and the success with which
their efforts had been crowned.
Mr.. Shouse also told of the Coop
Grafton of the great Republicans who
had assisted the Administrator at ev-
cry turn and gave them their full
share of praise.
"There is very little politics in
Washington" said Mr.. Shouse.
"There are few members Of Con-
gress on both sides who have been
reactionary and played politics, but
for the most part, both Democrats
and Republicans were repudiated by
their own parties in the primary"
Mr.. Shouse told of some of the
problems that confront members of
the House and Senate and gave an
illustration of one of them, and told
how the matter was handled and set
tied, and this one instance showed the
necessity of sending men to Congress
and the Senate who have the ability
and the nerve to handle delicate mat
tiers in sensible wy.
Mr. Shouse mentioned his candi-
dacy but slightly. He said that per-
sonally it made but little difference
to him whether or not he was sent
back to Washington, but that he was
a candidate and if the people were
stisfied with his work he would like
their support.
He said that he was standing sole
ly on his record. He was not ashamed
of single vote he had cast or sin
gle official act; he had done that
which he considered to be the best
interests of the people he representa-,
and had no apologies to make.
Mr.. Shouse is forceful speaker.
He deals in facts and he made great
impression upon his audience.
Shouse has made good in every
way and indications are very favor
able for his reelection. There is no
doubt but that he should be elected
and but little that he will be. His eff
fort deserves recognition and we be-
lieve the people of the Big Seventh
appreciate having a man of Mr..
Shouse's qualifications at Washington
and will say so in November.
