Man Power for the Farms

The following suggested by Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture Ousley:
Agriculture has contributed its due share of man
power to the army-perhaps more certainly no less
"Other industries that have contributed power
to the army have recruited power from the farms

"PRUSSIC ACID" FATAL
Liberty Bonds viii Prove Highly
Successful Antidote.
Average Dose Of Remedy Is From $50
to 5,ooo-Ample Evidence Why
Immediate Provision Should
Be Made.
BY LEIGH MITCHELL HODGES
of the Viqilantes.


Prior to August 1914, prussic acid
was known as one of the deadliesi
poisons, but comparatively few per.
sons We're killed by 1t.
Since that time German autocracy
has killed and MANNED millions and
jeopardized the life and liberty Of all
free nations by wholesale use of O
new kind of prussic acld-a "hydrocy.
anide" of brute force which, If not him
dered, will be as fatal to freedom as
the prussic acid of the laboratory to
him who inhales Its deadly vapor.
With this deadller prussic acid, the
kaiser and his crew are trying to pois-
on the minds as well as the bodies
of those who will not submit to the
domination of might. Thus far he and
his hell mates have succeeded fairly
well, but a new antidote for this pois-
on will check the peril If amply ap-
piled.
Americanism is its name, and the
method of application is as follows:
AS soon as symptoms of the
poisoning appear-either in the
form of trench, air or submarine
raids or German propaganda
planting take one large dose of
Americanism in the form of Third
Liberty Loan bonds.
The effect will be instantaneous.
At once the purchaser will pass
from a state of approaching des-
pair to an unprecedented degree
of satisfaction at having backed
up the boys who are fighting for
freedom and the millions of men
and women who are working to
help win the war. This will be fol-
lowed by a sense of security in
having strengthened our defenses
against devilism, and at the same
time the effect on the foe will be
that of a powerful emetic, caus-
ing them to throw up their hands
in horror at the thought of such
whole-hearted support of the AL
lied Cause.
For the average American the
dose suggested is from $50 to S5,-
000-taken daily in small quanti-
ties over a long period, or swal-
lowed at one time and followed by
a feeling of happiness which can
not be appreciated until expert
enced.
And while this is suggested as
the most admirable antidote for
this poison, it also possesses the
peculiar quality of providing
'pill' for Kaiser Bill at the same
time. Testimonials from millions
of Americans who already have
used this remedy and like it SO
well that they are going to lay in
another large supply, make clear
the use for buying your bonds
early!

600 TEUTON PRISONERS
GERMAN DEAD HEAPED ABOUT
TOWN THAT is KEY TO
AMIENs FRONT.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
With the British Army in France,
April 26.-The great double German
drive in the Somme and Armentieres
sectors, which began Wednesday morn
ing, has developed into a terrifi~
struggle. The tide of battle has surged
to and fro during the last two days,
with the decision still in the balance.
The British, having been forced
back out of Villers-Bretenneux,
launched a counter attack and swept
the Germans back almost to the lines
which were held before the present
fighting began, and took over COO pris-
oners, and German dead are heaped
about the town.
The French have been driven back
out of HanGard-en-Santerre, but are
holding their positions close by, while
on the line southwest of Ypres, the
British have been compelled to with
draw slightly before furious attacks
along the Meteren- n-Bailleul-Wytschae
line.
Wounded Americans are arriving at
hospital behind the French line in
the Somme sector, showing that Gen.
Pershing's men are bearing their
share of the burden of the great battle.
Notwithstanding the frantic prepara-
tions made by the Germans for a con-
tinuance OF their drive toward Amiens
and the extreme violence of the fight
ing, their gains thus far in that region
have been very small.
Along the line from Albert south to
Castel, except at Hangarden-S Santerre
the German assaults have been hurled
back by the allied forces, which are
strongly posted on the higher ground
to which they retired during the last
days of the German drive in Picardy
1t is unofficially reported that four
to six German divisions, or from $4,000
to $4,000 men have been hurled at the
British and French lines near Ypres
The retirement of the British in this
sector must have been small, for there
are no great gains reported by Berlin
so far. 1t was rumored Thursday
that Mont KENNEL, a dominating
height north of Wulverghem, had
been taken by the enemy but this has
not been confirmed
That only slight gains have been
made anywhere along the two fronts
which have been subjected to attack
is proof that the allies are prepared
to defend their positions.
In the last three weeks the Germans
have hurried up heavy cannon to the
Somme battle ground and have
marched many fresh divisions to the
points where they have been held for
the moment of attack.
Raiding operations are reported
along the French lines east of Mont
didier.

cans killed in the German attack OF

How to Prevent It

World want cannot be prevented by
hoardings. Neither is anyone's safety
dependent on the amount of money he
has hidden away. Safety depends on
the sane, wise, unselfish use of the re-
sources of the nation. Every mans re-
sources are the resources of the ma
ton. Safety depends on the willing
ness of the individual to share now
with the government every resource
he possesses-thought, activities, mon
ey. The right, free use of these, our
powers, should be towards production,
not restriction. OF what avail Will
money be later, If there should be lit
tie or nothing to buy? The govern
ment is trying to speed up production.
1t will try harder by-and-by. Help on
towards your own safety and the safe
ty of all by helping the government.
Therefore, buy Thrift stamps, War
Saving stamps, Liberty bonds.
So do you put your hand, with all
the other hands, on the helm of our
ship, and become one of the pilots who
will steer it through the storm to
safe harbor.

WORLD WANT
BY BARNETTA BROWN
of the ViQiIantes-

Place your elbows on your knees,
put your head In your hands, and
think. Many strange things are
happening. Unprecedented conditions
abound. Those who have carefully
studied the world situation tell us that
we may have to face widespread world
want If we are not forethoughted and
forehanded. With millions of men
turned from their usual occupation of
helping to provide the necessaries of
life, depending on others for food and
clothing while they fight, the industrial
order is thrown completely out of bal
ance. The ship of state is passing
through troubled waters. What can
we do, what must we do, to insure, safe
massage?
