Is not unusually long. for il Is felled
after the fruit Is gathered and some

PEACE.

They cry for peace who never saw

Warm, flowing blood our soldiers bled
Whose flabby limbs have yet to fee
The tearing thrust of pagan steel
They cry for peacel
They cry for peace whose eyes shall
never scan
The tortured remnants of a wounded
man,
Whose sluggish minds can never
know
The covering thing that dealt the
blow
They cry for peacel
They cry for peace, while here our
soldiers stand
Upon the sacred soil of France, be-
loved land,
And thunder, while they fight and fall,
"Yanksl Give them hell" till comes
our call

+ OOKING at it from an investment
standpoint, there is nothing bet

There are but two ways to get it

WHEN you have passed, say, your
" 50th birthday anniversary, foxy
old Mr.. Time puts the skids under
you and greases them good and plenty.
1t is appalling, then how quickly the
days and the weeks and the months
pass. You start in on Monday morn
ing and before you know it, it is Sat-
urday night again. Even the years
slip by as though you were riding
through life on roller coaster. When
an man is so he should have a nice
quiet place in the country, just out of
town. He should awake before dawn
and say good morning to the sun, eat
leisurely, move serenely, work moder-
ately When night comes he should
be able to say, "Well, this has been a
fine, long day." instead of saying,
"For the love of Mike, where has this
day gone to-" Then, when old age
comes, you will be able to say with
the sage; "Old age is the night of
life, but is the night not beautiful
with stars"

draw interest instead of paying tax
es. Bonds are certainly much bet
ter investment than taxes, if you look
at it from a purely material stand
point. If the rich people buy these
bonds, the rest of us will have to pay
taxes to pay the interest on them.
If we get the bonds, the people of
great wealth will have to pay taxes
to pay the interest on our bonds.

A MERICANS are not cutters. The
kaiser's troops cannot stop our
men at the front Nothing must be
permitted to stop the flow into the
treasury of the money with which we
back up these men. Sloth and easy
living have no place in America now.
We must give, give to the utmost. If
putting our money at the disposal of
the government requires us to work
harder and live more simply, we shall
be the better for it. Let us buy these
Liberty bonds to the utmost of our
capacity and thereby show the men
at the front that the people at home
will back them to the limit.

WHEN you subscribe to a Liberty
Loan you subscribe to the senti-
rnent that the world must be made
safe for democracy and subscribe to
the fund that is to make the world
safe for democracy. You subscribe
10 the belief that innocent women and
children on unarmed ships shall not
be sent to the bottom of the sea;
that women and children and old men
shall not be ravished and tortured and
murdered under the plea of military
necessity; that nurses shall not be
shot for deeds of mercy, nor hospital
ships be sunk without warning, or
hospitals and unfortified cities be
cannonaded with long range guns.
You subscribe TO the doctrine that
small nations have the same rights
as great and powerful ones; that
might is not right, and that Germany
shall not force upon the world the do
minion Of her military masters. You
subscribe, when you subscribe to a
Liberty Loan, to the belief that Amer
lea entered this war for just and
noble cause; that our soldiers in
France and our sailors on the sea are
fighting for right and justice. And
you subscribe to the American senti-
ment that they must and shall be
powerful, efficient and victorious.

THE government of the United
States is asking us Americans, is
asking US, the citizens of the United
States. to subscribe to the Fourth Lib
erty Loan, a bigger loan than any yet
issued. 1t is our duty TO back up the
government by floating the loan.
Moreover, the performance of this
duty should be treated by US as a
high privilege. 1t opens us fine OPP
portunity TO put our shoulders with
all the strength we have into that
great shove which is pushing the Ger
man barrier back across the Rhine.

THE registration under the extended
draft law is right around ii million
How many of these will be accepted
for military service is still mystery,
but it is probable they will number
several millions. 1t is inevitable that
there will-be some dislocation of in
dustry and business through the with
drawal of one or more millions of men
from their present occupation for
army service. To add further to the
of man power in business,
Mondays papers gave hint from
that the men engaged in
industries or business
will have to give up their male en-
oloyes in order that they may engage
