Let the @people's response to the Fourth Liber- ! ty Loan express the measure of their devotion to the ideals which have ami mated their country from it's discovery until now, and of their determined purpose to defend them and guarantee their triumph.
 For the purpose of participating in
 Liberty Day celebrations all employees of the federal government throughout 1.-the country whose services can be spared may be excused on Saturday, the 12th day of October, for the en- tire day.

 anxiety.
 With what has been done or is now being done to insure the prompt de- I livery of mail, there should be no occasion for delay or non-deliverey |of letters to our soldiers in France if those writing them from home will realize that the slightest inaccuracy Tor obscurity in the address of a letter lis almost certain to cause delay and may result in non- delivery.

 should reach the soldiers at the
 front promptly.

 pany or battery and his regiment, as well as the branch of service.

BLACK LANDER BUSY
Demands 1000 From A. C. Hincl>icy But Forgot to Tell Him Where to Leave It.

Aaron C. Hinckley, owner of the cafe in the old Hanna block on Main street received a black hand letter in his mail Monday afternoon. It commanded him to surrender $1,OO0 or his life would pay the forfeit An imprint of a hand, made of black ink was contained in the letter. Mr. tLinckley reported the matter to Chief of Police William J. Rawlings.
 It's the work of boys said Chief Rawlings and that opinion is also shared by MT. Hinc1ley. The writing in the letter and the size of the inn print indicate boys work. The letter was also unbusiness like in that it did not direct MT. HinC<leY where to place the money. The letter came through the mail.

Questions Answered by Alici" Hovt
Miss Hoyt will answer in this COL
umn all questions on matters OF ell
quette addressed to her in care of this
paper. If personal answer is de-
sired enclose a Scent stamp.)-
Newcomer: Since your means are
moderate, it would be very unwise, as
we'll as in bad taste. for you to give an
expensive entertainment. Keep all
your social activities well within the
limit of your income. and you will
have the respect of your acquaint-
ances. Give party that is distin-
guishel for originality and care in the
matter of nice details. Do something
that everybody else has not already
done. Let your brain makeup for the
deficiency in your purose, and you
viii be a successful hostess.
Billy: In order to keep on the side
of the walk next the curb when walk
ing with a lady, you will often have to
change sides, as after crossing street
In doing SO, you merely step behind
the lady to her other side.

We don't mind some days such as meat
