PERSH|NG'S FIFTY
IN RED CROSS PLEA
"Wake Up" and "Sacrifice"
Are Messages Delivered at
Liberty Hut.
OVATION FOR SOLDIERS

"wake up! Wake up! We are In a
war!' and "Sacrifice here. with the same
spirit shown by the boys over there y
are the two striking messages Per-
shinEs fifty" gave an audience that
thronged Liberty Hut last night at the
advance raj in preparation for the
500, 600, 900 1. we to be Launched May
20 for the Red Cross war relief fund
Of 1918.
And in response to this advice and
the question Have the boys died IN
vain!' Henry B. F. Mcfarland, CHAIR
man of the District Red Cross drive
said: "As Pershing said at the grave
of LAFAYETTE. We are here and the
Red Cross will prove it in the coming
drive
whereupon the audience arose to Its
feet and shouted out in loud chorus
Eyes, Yes" and followed it with long
cheers.

but it is doubtful if there has ever
been one marked by such enthusiasm

on overseas, but never before had there
been an opportunity to hear first hand
from her own boys of how her soldiers
are, what is needed and what klnd OF
fighters they are. The audience was
thrilled by stories of the heroiSm and
the fighting spirit of her Army.
Chairman Macfarland announced that
each man would rise, give his name
and the name of the state from which
he came. The first man was from the
Hoosier state, and his announcement,
made in strong voice, brought long ap-
plause. And as the men rose in turn
each wed in voice with the other, lay
ing particular emphasis on the state
from which he came. The cheering be-
came so enthusiastic by the time the
fourth man had made his announcement
that many of the disappointed crowd
on the outside climbed the side of the
building. and the patter of their feet
could be heard on the roof. They sta
toned themselves at the open venti-
lating windows, where they were al
lowed to remain until the police had
chance to rout them out.
Several of the speakers provoked
amusement because of their earnest
ness and enthusiasm in denouncing
the kaiser. Use of words harsh to del
icate ears. but music in the trenches,
TO bring out their points brought APP
plause to such an extent that one
speaker was interrupted for some time.

Method to Cover Loss.

at has been urged, however, that in
addition to the annual ground rental of
$500 the company pays annually ad
valorem taxes Of about $1,000 on the
Center Market improvements and
$4,000 on the land itself. and also that
as these improvements become the
property of the United States without
cost at the end Of the lease Of ninety
nine years, reasonable sum. which
has been fixed at $4,000. should be
charged off every year to cover this
inevitable loss.
This latter claim may be disposed of
quickly. Under the proposed bill the
United States will take over the prop
erty at fair and just valuation
without regard to any right of success
sion to any of the property which the
United States may have at the termi-
be made because Of this right Of sue
cession. For the purposes Of this ac-
QUESTION the right does not exist.
1.-The claim regarding the taxes on the
improvements is of no greater merit.
These improvements are the property
of the Washington Market Company. a
private corporation, and. like other pri
local taxation. This leaves for consid-
Grafton the taxes on the land.
THESE land taxes are paid to the Dis
trict of Columbia. and the United States
receives no benefit therefrom. 1t does
not increase the very small return
its investment. But. il we assume for
the moment that this item OF expense
may properly be added to the ground
rent to determine the total charge for
the use of the land the sum obtained
will be only s13,500. which is approx
mately 1.6 per cent on the invest
ment. which the committee deems to be
an ADEQUATE return"

Merchants, like all others, must be
judged by their actions. If a mer-
chant advertises in every paper but
those patrOnized by the. tOilers, it
would seemingly indicate that he is
not very friendly with this class or
OveranxiOus for their trade. Along
this line it is a fOregOne conclusion
that those merchants who do adver-
tise in the columns of the paper de-
voted to labor, feel friendly toward
this class, and desire their trade. 1t
will, therefore, pay you to read the
advertisements in this paper, and by
doing so ascertain who the merchants
are who feel friendly toward you
and appreciate your patronage.

ADVERTISING IN A LABOR
PAPER.

PRINTERS INK, the recognized
authority on advertising, after thor
rough investigation on the subject,
says:
"A labor paper is a far better ad-
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper in comparison with circu-
latiOn. A labor paper, for example,
having 1000 subscribers is of more
value to the business man who ad-
vertises in it than an ordinary paper
with 10000"
The Leader is the workingman's s
paper and is subscribed for and read
by a larger percentage of laboring
people than any other paper in New
ark. Advertisers are deserving of
patronage-and get it.

The voters of Licking county are
fortunate in securing as a candidate
for Sheriff, Elijah A. Iige) Bryan
He was born SO years ago on a
farm east of Newark where he was
raised and where he received his
common and high school education
which afterwards was supplemented
by a business course in Merideth
Business College of GAINESVILLE, Ohio.
Mr.. Bryan is now married, has
two children and resides at 33 Union
street, Newark, Ohio, and for the
past twelve years has been employed
by the Ohio Electric railway COM
pany and during that time has rem
dered valuable service to the COM
pany and has made hundreds of
friends.
A county officer should be a man
who knows how to deal with the
public, one who is courteous and ac-
commodating, yet is not afraid to do
his duty.
Mr.. Bryan in the discharge of his
duties with the Ohio Electric rail
way company for the past twelve
years has been constantly in touch
with the public and his experience
and courteous treatment of the peo-

His many friends recognize him as

COOPERATION
is the Keystone in the Arch of
SUCCESS

Without cooperation there is con-
fusion, and confusion is the father
of waste just as necessity is the
mother of invention.
Cooperation is a fundamental of
progress.
The advertisers who patrOnize THE
LEADER cooperate with THE
LEADER in producing a news
paper worthy of the great cause
which it represents.
So the readers of THE LEADER
should cooperate by patrOnizing
these advertisers. That completes
the cycle and insures progress
and profit to all.
For THE LEADERS advertisers
are leaders in their lines.
RECIPROCATE! COOPERATE!
PATRONIZE THEM!
