THE South. which at present runs
the government insofar as political ma
neuvring can bring it about, is credited
with 80 per cent of the nations popu-
lation, and raised only 10 per cent Of
the third Liberty Loan. What percent
age of the fourth Loan the said South
raised is not likely to be made known
before the November election. as the

Buy Liberty
Bonds to Limit
Farmers Urged To Do There Bit
in Coming Drive.

An article recently published in some
papers of the central west gave an
erroneous impression as to the part
the farmer should play in financing the
great struggle for liberty and world
freedom. 1t suggested that the farmer
should not borrow money with which
to buy Liberty Bonds-that he should
not Inconvenience himself" in lend
ing financial support at this critical
time in the history of the nation.
This is no time to think of incon-
venience at home. If inconvenience is
to be the basis of thought, let the
American farmer consider first the in
convenience of the boys on the firing
line in France. AT this particular time
it is up to all Americans to make sacri-
fices. This is no time to think of COM
Portable financial circumstances and
freedom from inconvenience. The
Government is at great deal Of incon-
venience. If the boys at the blazing,
thundrous front are standing in muddy
trenches dodging shell splinters and
Hun bullets and facing the terrible gas
attacks, there is no reason why the far
mer at home should not extend him
self to help out.
Don't think of inconvenience. Think
of the Inconvenience and danger of
your son, or your neighbor's son, at
the front, and buy Liberty Bonds to
the limit Stretch your financial sys-
tenn to the breaking point, if need be,
to support your Government and the
boys who are actually engaged in the
business Of fighting your fight.
If you haven't the money at hand to
do your full duty toward the great
cause, go ont and borrow it from your
bank-borrow so that you may buy
bonds "until it hurts" Your financial
support may be measure of your
practical patriotism-and the nation
needs practical patriots at this critical
period.
Don't think of inconvenience-think
only of success.

Daylight Saving
Effective Sunday
Turn Your Clock Ahead One
Hour at Bedtime, Saturday.

The new daylight saving bill, passed
by Congress, goes into effect at 200 a.
m. Sunday, March 3lst. This affects
us locally as well as throughout the
country. Both our railroads, our post
office and all other places Of business
will be governed by this time.
The daylight saving bill was signed
last week by President Wilson. 1t puts
all clocks forward an hour on the last
Sunday in March and turns them back
again the last Sunday in October.
The plan will become effective with
out the slightest disorganization or i'm
pairment of existing conditions. Trains
will run as usual and daily life will re-
main unchanged.
Before retiring on the last Saturday
of this month the American house
holder will set his clock an hour ahead
and then may 60 to sleep and forget
entirely about daylight saving until the
I last Saturday of October.
In the summer the American man
will actually rise, transact his daily
business and retire at an hour earlier
than has been his custom, but with his
clock an hour fast he will not know the
difference. An hour Of daylight thus
will be conserved in the afternoon.
The plans efficiency has been dem
onstrated in eighteen European coun-
tries. The following beneficial results
will ensue.
Saving of illuminants. such as oil,
gas and electric power.
Conservation of coal.
Increasing manufacturing production.
Improvement Of working conditions.
Benefits to the national health be-
cause an additional hour of daylight
may be devoted to recreation.
Deduction in the cost Of living to
persons who can raise garden truck for
domestic consumption.
Improvement of the training condi-
ton for the fighting forces.

self the Roosevelt type of man, aggres-
sive and efficient. Though Mr.. New
berry will not be in Michigan to take
part personally in his campaign, his
friends throughout the State will be
hard at work in his behalf. They are
enthusiastic in their support, declaring
that while politics should be kept in
the background this year, there is, in
view of the vital questions arising out
of the war, no more important patriotic
duty at this time than the selection Of
the right man for Senator. Those who
are directing the work of the campaign
are A. A. Templeton, President of the
Detroit Board Of Commerce, General
Chairman, Paul H. King, former Sec'y
of the Constitutional Convention and
ex-Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives, Executive Chairman, Charles A.

that way the situation is serious indeed.
Fortunately news comes from cities
and towns all over Michigan that hun
dreds Of boys are enrolling every week.
Thousands will be needed. Our guess
is that all physically fit boys of the East
Jordan High School who are over 16
and under the draft age, will enlist, for
they are patriots-not slackers-and
will be glad to do this which our Coun-
try calls upon them to do, glad, also, to
get the money for regular wages will
be paid them and to have the fine ex-
perience Of season in the country.
And they'll be glad, too, after the war
is over, to possess the badge of the
Reserve, with its pendant bar inscribed
Honorable Service--l918," evidence to
all the world that they responded when
their country called for volunteers and
did their part, an important part in
the greatest war in history.
Supt. Geo. B. Crawford is the enroll
ing officer in this city and vicinity. He
will explain the plans fully to each boy
who asks him. 1t will be made clear
that the National and State Govern
.ments are back of this phase of war
work, the recruit will be fully protect
ed, he can quit his job and return
home at any time if he and his parents
decide there is reason why he should
do so. In short, everything is arrang-
in his favor.
We hope every boy over 16 will find
out all about it right away. They
should give the full information to
their parents, obtain their consent, and
90 into service shouting the Battle
Cry of Feed-Em." That's your best
way to swat the Kaiser and to help the
fellows who have gone "over there"
and who, as they face the bitter fight
are depending upon YOU.

The Charter
Amendment
Our Citizens Should Give This
Their Attention.

Do not forget to vote upon the pro-
posed charter amendment next Mon
day. 1t is important.
The purpose of the proposed amend
ment may be summed up in one word,
"preparedness. No additional powers
- duties are conferred upon the city
Scbmmission. Nothing whatever can be
done by the city commission in the way
of purchasing the present plant from
the Electric Light & Power Co., or in
the building of new plant, until the
matter is again submitted to the voters
for their approval, even if the proposed
amendment does carry.
The amendment merely defines the
method OF procedure to be taken in
case it should appear to the commission
later, or if there should be a popular
demand on the part OF our citizens, ex-
pressed by petition or otherwise, that
the purchase of the present plant, or
the building of new one seems advis-
able. According to the amendment,
if carried, an estimate of the cost must
first be made and published and then
the matter be submitted to the voters
for their approval or rejection. The
will of the voters at such an election
binds the commission.
We are advised by the city commits.
sion that nothing has as yet been done
by them in the way of granting a new
franchise to the East Jordan Electric
Light & Power Co, or in the purchase
of their plant, or in the construction OF
new one, and nothing will be done
nor can be done until they take the
voters into their full confidence, and
obtain their approval. They are en-
deavoring to inform themselves fully
and have caused an appraisal to be
made of the crescent plant and when the
feSHtof the experts is rec ived the
PUBLIC will be advised. This report has
not get been received.
The present franchise expires April
%, 1918. Then the city commission will
insist upon some sort of an expression
from the people. In the mean time they
request favorable vote on the pro-
posed amendment to the charter that
the matter may be properly dealt with
when the proper time comes.

TAX SLACKERS
ATTENTION
To You Who Have Not Filed
Your Income Tax Return.

"Tax slackers will be prosecuted as
vigorously and relentlessly under the
war revenue act as draft slackers were
prosecuted under the selective service
act. The aid of all good citizens is in
voked in bringing to justice the man
who deliberately seeks to evade his
just share of the war burden"
This was the statement today of Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Daniel
c. Roper. With only eleven days left
in which to file income tax returns, he
has practically completed the organiza-
ton of huge dragnot for bringing in
to camp all persons who fail to file their
returns by April 1. Revenue officers
in every section of the country are
checking up returns with view to be-
ginning prosecutions against tax dod-
gers. The word has gone forth that
such offenders need expect no leniency.
Through its educational campaign
the Bureau of Internal Revenue has
endeavored to cover the field so
thoroughly that ignorance of the law
cannot be consistently offered as an
excuse" said Commissioner Roper to-
day "The Press, the Four Minute
men, the State and County Councils of
National defense, the field force. of the
Department of Agriculture and other
Government Departments, Banks, Post
Offices and hundred of volunteer
agencies have co-operated in bringing
home to the tax payer his duty.
'The man who failed to register un-
der the seleotive service act was re-
garded by the War Department as a
Stacker and prosecuted as such. The
man who fails to file his income tax
return will be regarded as a Money
Stacker" and when discovered, as he
will be, will be made to suffer full
penalties of the law"
"To the credit of the Nation it may
be said that have gratifying and con-
elusive evidence that these income
taxes will be paid by the great majority
of the American people cheerfully and
willingly. But the duty of the honest
man does not end with the payment of
his own tax. call upon him to aid in
bringing into camp the tax dodger. A
man so niggardly as to seek to evade
what his representative in Congress
have declared to be his just share of a
tax imposed for the support of our
arms is deserving of no consideration
and will receive none.
Congress has distributed this tax
justly and equitably. The rate is fixed
so that the rich man and the men OF
moderate means are assessed, each
according to his income. No man can
offer the excuse that his neighbor es-
eapes what he is made to pay. There
fore, it is incumbent upon all good
citizens to aid in carrying out the in
tent and spirit of the law, which is that
the burden of the war tax be evenly
distributed and every man compelled
to pay his just quota"

VAN TWINKLE |S BACK
 ON LONC NAP AGAIN

"Bill' Van Wrinkle, who may or may not be a descendant of the famous Rip" of the Catskills. appeared in the limelight long enough yesterday to bring about his arrest by the police on a charge of drunkenness. When taken in charge he seemed just about on the verge of beginning a sleep somewhat after the order and duration that brought his namesake of an earlier day into public notice and has carried his name on down into his tory.
 When it appeared that he had suffi- ciently recovered to insure him keep ing awake long enough to appear in police court at the required time, he was admitted to bail in the sum of, five dollars. He disappeared in the gen. eral direction of Five Points.
 Court time came but with it no Van Wrinkle. Twice his name was called by the city magistrate and each time silence greeted the call. An entry on the docket indicated that the bail money had been forfeited. It was the general opinion that Van Wrinkle had gone to sleep and that when he fin ally did awake the statute of limi- | tations would apply.
