SELF-STARTERS


Be self-starter and get
ahead in the world.
Don't be the kind that must
be addressed In an angry tone
II they are TO be impressed.
Such man gives honest serv-
ice at all times, and this is what
counts In the work-a-day world.
II should be sufficient for any
employer or superior officer to
pleasantly request certain serv-
Ices from you.
Don't be the sort Of an en-
ployee who must have instruc-
lions pounded into him before
! they have any effect.
II Is too expensive to hire men
to work and then have to hire
others 20 watch them every min
ute that proper service may be
secured.
There are two kinds Of men In
this world-those who have to
be "cranked up" and self-start-
ers. As employees the first are
Improbable. Therefore:
The willing worker, the man
who acts immediately upon In
I structlons which are pleasantly
given to him. Is the sort OF EN-.
ployee who is worth having.
The man who must be
whacked and pounded into &C.
: ton is no good In any establish
{ ment, and the sooner such men
get the gate the better for their
: employers.

The big decrease in the number of

BUY LIBERTY BONDS TO
VERY LIMIT OF RESOURCES
Everyone Should Give the Boys "over
There" the Financial Support
Needed for Victory.

An article recently published In some
papers of the central West gave an err
roneous 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 lending
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
1t is up to all Americans to make sac
rifices. This is no time to think of COM
Portable financial circumstances and
freedom from inconvenience. The
government is at a great deal of In
convenience. If the boys at the blaz-
Ing, thunderous front are standing in
muddy trenches lodging shell splinters
and Hun bullets and facing the terrible
gas attacks, there is no reason why
the farmer at home should not extend
himself to help out
Don't think of Inconvenience. Think
Of the Inconvenience and danger or
your son, or your neighbours son, at the
front and buy Liberty bonds to the
limit. Stretch your financial system
to the breaking point, if need be, to
support your government and the boys
who ara actually engaged in the bust
ness of fighting your fight.
If you haven't the money at hand to
do your full duty toward the great
cause, go out and borrow it from your
bank-borrow so that you may buy
bonds until it hurts" Your financial
support may be a measure Of your
practical patriotlsm-and the nation
needs practical patriots at this critical
period.
Don't think Of inconvenience-think
only of success.

HELPLESS CHINA A LESSON
Every Man, Woman and Child Should
Contribute to Success Of Third
Liberty Loan.

Within the last few months the ter
rible bubonic plague has been sweep
ing over western China. Starting in
Mongolia, it crossed the great wall and,
With appalling speed, invaded province
after province. And China-great,
helpless China-is unable to care for
Its unfortunate people. Missionaries
and the Rockefeller institute have been
doing much to alleviate suffering, but
their efforts have been little enough to
stem the tide Of the dread disease.
China lacks the organization and the
Initiative to do much more than bow
before the inevitable.
There is a lesson for America at
this time in the conditions in China"
said a United States army medical of
acer a few days ago. "The United
States is at war. Food, guns, clothing
are needed for the soldiers, and ships
are necessary to carry them to the bat
tlefelds in Europe. To conduct this
enormous business of war, money is
needed-billions in money. If the ma
ton does not show initiative and or
ganization, If every individual and
every community are not closely knit
to every other individual and every
other community and interest by q
common impulse, common purpose to
defeat the enemy, America will fail in
this war as surely as China has failed
in her hopeless battle against the bu-
bonic plague.
Every man, woman and child should
contribute to the limit toward the sue
cess of the third Liberty loan. There
must be no sectional feeling, no racial
hatreds, no ancient grudges, no po-
litical ambitions, no community inter
ests or individual schemes to stand In
the way. If this nation Of more than
hundred million souls stands together
as one, the government at Washington
will be provided with the money with
which to finance ourselves and our al
lies in this war against a selfish and
autocratic power that plots our politi.
cal and commercial ruin as it plotted
and accomplished the ruin Of Belgium
and Serbia and northern France.
"a prominent politician once pro-
tested against the 'Chinafying Of the
United States Let the United States
prove to itself and to the common foe
that there is nothing of China's help
lessness in us. 1t can do so by acting
with a single purpose in this matter
Of a world war for democracy"
