To Our Customers

Our Government, through the Federal
Reserve Board, is urging the prompt pay
ment of all accounts to increase the turn
over of money during the war.
The manufacturers and wholesalers are
: compelling the retail merchants to do this,
and we in turn are compelled to ask our
customers to give attention to this matter
and make their plans for the early financing
of their open accounts.
The cooperation of our credit custom
ers is earnestly requested, so that we all
may assist as far as possible in maintaining
a reasonable and safe credit that will make
the country stronger for the successful
prosecution of the war.

COMFORT KITS AND KNITTED
ARTICLES.

The NeY Britain chapter of the
American Red Cross has received
orders from Washington to the effect
that relatives and friends of draftees
about to depart for training camps
should discontinue the practice Of
providing them with comfort kits and
knitted articles. The substance of the
order as received appears in another
column and Is worthy of attention.
1t may seem hard for fond mothers
to desist from furnishing sons about
to enter military service with little
comforts and warm Knitted articles,
but the reasons set forth by the ma
tional headquarters make 1t clear
that it is inadvisable to give the
EN- bryo soldiers such things during
the summer months. Knitted articles
are quite unnecessary now, and if
draftees take them to camp at this
time they are apt to be worn out, lost
or damaged before colder weather is
here.
This is u. sensible step. It elimi-
mates loading the draftees down with
articles for which they can have no
use during the summer months, and
also saves those at home the trouble
and expense of sending additional
articles to supply those which may
have been lost or damaged. The or
der is for the best interest of the
draftees and all concerned will profit
by observing it.

ICE CREAM SODA.

(Note.-Ice Cream Soda is a decoc-
ton popular in the United States of
merica.)
You may talk of vim and biere
When you're CHARTERED over there
In New York Or Abilene Or Sleepy
Hollow,
But when belts are growing, tauter,
It is ice cream soda water
That you'd give a dollar ninety just
to swallow
In the well-known u. S. A,
Where we used to work and play.
Attending to our pleasure and our
biz,
Of all the liquid crew
The finest drink I knew
Was our Drumming glass of Ice cream
soda fizz.
1t was fizz! flzz fzz!
You foamin' glass O. chocolate
soda fizz!
Gimme strawberry. vanilla,
Coffee peach or sarsaparila--
Gimme any kind O. ice cream soda
fizz.
We have tasted Of Bordeaux,
Sampled Dubonnet and Leau,
CODA;
But we'd give a large amount
OF our kale to see a fount
Shooting foam into a glass of ice
cream soda.
There is nothing like the SAVIOR
OF the soda clerks "What favor?"
And your telling him, politely, what
it is
There is nothing there at home
That is nobler than the foam
AS it tops a trimming glass of soda
fizz.
Then it's fig. fzz. izz,
Oh, you gracious. Carbonaceous
soda fzzi
When I reach a certain nation
At the port of debarkation
How TIL beat it for an ice cream
soda fizz!

"POnTTTCs IS ADJOURNED"

Thus spoke Pesident Wilson in his
latest address to the houses of Con-
gress in joint session, the purpose of
which was to urge the lawn akers to
enact at once legislation to raise ad-
ditional war revenue. In brief, the
taxes levied upon war profits, in
comes and luxuries,
We are glad to note in dispatches
from Washington today an indication
on the part of Congress to do what
the President wants done. 1t ap-
pears that the great majority of rep
resentatives and senators agree with
Mr.. Wilson in the belief that this is
no time for craftsmanship or for
playing politics.
THE days have come, said the
President, when great compelling
sympathy wells up in their hearts for
men everywhere who suffer and are
oppressed, and when they see at last
the high uses for which their wealth
mas DoSn p1leQ up anu THEIR ullS lily
power accumulated, and, countin g
neither blood nor treasure, now that
their final day of opportunity has
come, rejoice to spend and to be
spent through a long night OF suffer-
ing and terror, in order that they
and men everywhere may see the
dawn of a day of righteousness and
justice and peace. Shall we grow
weary when they bid us act?"
Americans realize now that war
and victory cost money. They are
willing to furnish all the funds neces-
sary provided it is made clear to
them that any taxes to be levied will
be levied Justly. That is why the
President says it Is incumbent upon
Congress to provide for a flair,
euuitabty distrib uted taxation of the
widest incidence and drawing chiefly
from the sources which would be
likely to demoralize credit by their
very abundance
It is a most solemn duty which de-
wolves upon our represen ia tives in
Washington. They must be awake to
this duty, for the lives of thousands
of soldiers depend upon the proper
fulfilment OF 1t. They dare not fail.

There are two classes of bust
nessmen who give their time and
equipment unstintingly to the
government without hope of
financial return bankers and
newspapermen. During a Liber-
ty Loan drive every bank and
every newspaper turns its,entim
equipment over to the service of
the government without money
and without price. The news.
papers furnish the publicity with
out which no bond issue Of such
magnitude could be foated in
such short time, and the banks
furnish the skilled help and ma.
chinery for handling the millions
of subscriptions, keeping books
on deferred payments, carrying
acc cunts, ETC., and later issuing
the bond. The bankers and
newspaper deserves great credit,
for no other line of industry
gives its services absolutely free
of charge.-The Manufacturer.
