Our Washington Letter.
Washington, d. c.
April 8, 1918


April 8, 1918.
Editor Register-Do everything pos
sible to help win this terrible war, is
the cry in Washington.
Last year the Department of Agri-
culture asked the farmers all over our
great country to increase planting
crops sixteen per cent, and the farmers
did increase, sowing and planting over
IS per cent, and we had the greatest
crop of corn, wheat and potatoes ever
known, with good prices, and saved the
Allies.
I wonder if those great food-ralsing
farmers will do the same increase OF
acreage this year and thus provide for
all our Allies fighting the Huns 1t
is even more important this year than
last surely.
Bread and meat are the great SUBJ
stantials to eat. How can we increase
the supply of meat? Do not kill a
single female hog till she has raised a
litter. Let the pig doctor take rest
one year. A hog will grow to 25O
pounds in one year if we'll fed. Dur
ing the Civil War we had a law no
sheep should be killed We needed
the wool for clothes. 1t would be great
10 have that law re-enacted, for both
sheep and hogs grow to full size in a
wear or less,and furnish $50 to 300
pounds of meat in one year, while
beef takes two or three years to grow
10 killing size.
We cannot buy five pounds of flour
in this city unless we take five pounds
of corn meal at same time. 1t is no
hardship. Let us obey the orders OF
our leaders and help win the war. We
obeyed on coal supply last winter and
got through; now we are stocking up
70 six TO ten ton limit for next winter.
Miss Hattie Brown and Miss Ella
Coleman, of the Charles Town neigh
borhood, have been appointed to posi-
tons in the Treasury Department and
are at work.
lanes Engle, Jr., son of Rev. 5. M.
Ehgle, who was transferred from New
port News to Marine Hospital School,
Washington, has just recovered from a
spell of pneumonia.
twenty-five young girls were ap-
pointed in my room to count coupons
cut from the First Liberty Bonds No
vember IS, 1917, and Is more will
come in from civil service list May Is,
1918, when cart-loads of these coupons
come in from banks.
The war increased the work in the
Treasury immensely. When we 60
out at 4.3O p. m. another shift comes in
and works to 1890 p. m. When the
war commenced our bond vault had one
billion in it. Now it has five billions.
Four billion loaned to foreign nations.
We can manage it.
Our leaders are able, clear-headed
men, all right.
Third Liberty Loan of three billions
next. Almost every clerk takes bond.
A 500 bond outfits a soldier, a $50
bond buys him gun, tent and bed. A
S4.l2 bond buys 100 bullets to help
stop the Huns. The new clerks coming
in from the great West are enthusiastic
to help along the war. Give us more
work, they say.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in

and in order to cure it you must take
an internal remedy. Halls Catarrh
Medicine is taken internally and acts

of the system. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine was prescribed by one Of the best
physicians in this country for years. II

For The Liberty Loan.

The campaign inaugurating the Third
Liberty Loan was inaugurated in JEFF
ferson county last Saturday, when the
Women's National Liberty Loan Com
mittee for Jefferson county, Of which
Mrs. H. C. Getzendanner is chairman,
held a meeting in the courthouse ii
Charles Town. w. F. Alexander pre-
siding at the meeting, which was at
tended by persons from various Sec
tions Of the county After short ad-
dress by H. L. Snyder, Frank L. Bush
ong introduced the speaker OF the &C.
casion, Hon. Robert Lewis Hines, OF
Louisiana. Mr.. Hines, who is tlu-
ent and graceful talker, made a most
interesting and acceptable address on
the war in which our country is now
engaged and the sacrifices we are
called upon to make to support our
government in this great crisis. he
held the closest attention Of the audi
ence, and it was agreed that a more
pleasing and effective speaker has been
seldom heard in this neighborhood A
choir sang patriotic songs and prayer
was offered by Rev. J.. S. Alfriend, OF
the Episcopal Church.
The ladies of this committee VIII
make an active canvass in Jefferson
county for the sale of Liberty bonds
during the next week or two, and 1t is
hoped that our country's full quota will
not only be taken quickly, but over
subscribed. Jefferson county's appor-
tionment of the present loan is S22o,-
600, about s per cent of the county's
banking resources. Mrs. E. L. Colds
borough is chairman of the committee
for Shepherdstown district.
Here are some facts concerning the
Third Liberty Loan:
The government proposes to borrow
from the people of the United States
S3,OOO,OOO,OOO and to pay the lender
thereof Al per cent interest thereon
and to pay back the principal in ten
years.
1t is loan guaranteed by the best Sc
curity the world can give, our country
and all its resources. 1t is bound TO
be paid back to the lender.
1t pays a good rate of interest, 4A
per cent, and is therefore one OF the
best investments that can be made.
If you have money to invest, don't
fail to buy Liberty bonds. If you have
not got the money in hand now, ar
engagements can be made with the banks
to buy the bonds on the installment
plan, or you can borrow the money at
the same rate of interest the bonds
bear.
The government must have money to
carry on the righteous war in which it
is now engaged.
The boys on the firing line in France
must be clothed, 1eo, anu equlPpeu
and the boys now training in this
country and who will soon be sent
across the ocean to join those already
at the front must be clothed, fed and
equipped-and it requires money to do
this.
Those who cannot fight should do
their share by lending to the govern
ment a part of their means.
Money invested in Liberty bonds is
a loan and not gift.
Show your good judgment by buy
ing Liberty bonds.
Show your patriotism by buying Lib
erty bonds.
Help to win the war by buying Lib
erty bonds, and you will never regret it.

SOME feeling is being stirred up in
Washington against the thousands OF
able-bodied officers who are detailed
for clerical work which may be done
just as readily by those who are not
needed for military service. II is said
that there are $1,000 men holding COM
missions who are non-fighterS, and
while many of these are rendering the
most valuable expert service to the
government, large proportion Of them
could be spared for the Army or Navy
without interfering with any Of the
functions of the government. There
is rebellion against the retention of
men in soft and safe places who are
needed at the front, and it is likely
that even those who have the greatest
pull and the most influence will be
called to do their part on the battle
fields in France. After all, it is on
" fair, and we have no doubt that in
their hearts most Of these young men
would rather be over there doing their
duty than fooling around like sissies
in Washington.

WE heartily approve Of the resolu-
ton that has been introduced in the
Senate by Senator King, Of Utah, for
bidding mail or express privileges to
my newspaper printed in this country
in the language OF Germany or Of any
of Germany's allies. The very Ian
guage itself is seditious now.
How long would any publication
printed in the English language be
tolerated in Germany?
In an address in Washington few
days ago former Senator Lafayette
Young, of Iowa, said:
"There are 5000 persons in Iowa
who ought to be in the stockade this
very minute. The nest egg Of all trea-
son in the United States is the German
press and the German language. I'm
in favor of cleaning America up now
so she will stay cleaned. would sup
press the German press. This is our
SOuHlIy.
Governor Frazier, OF North Dakota,
said that even il the German press
doesn't publish outright falsehoods, it
suppresses the truth.
FROM various sections of the coun-
try come daily reports OF exciting incl
dents in which the people have taken
the law into their own hands and melted
out punishment to disloyal persons who
have not been reached by federal au-
thority. There have been scores Of
cases where these internal enemies
have been tarred and feathered or
beaten severely for disloyal actions or
EXPRESSIONS In Collinsville, Illinois,
a few days ago, Robert Pragger, Ger
man miner, was lynched for offensive
behavior, being given only three min
utes grace by the mob that took him in
charge.
The government seems to be strange
ly lenient with the alien enemies in our
country who are guilty Of seditious
acts, and it's no wonder that the people
are exasperated beyond the point Of
endurance. Those who have sons or
other relatives fighting bravely against
the enemies of our country in Europe
are in no mood to trihe with these
treacherous and impu6ent enemies al
home.

NEWS comes from various sections
Of the south that the liquor people, in
a desperate effort to save themselves,
are organizing States right associa-
lions. Much the distillers and brew
ers care about States rights Their
sole and only concern is for their own
wretched business. Anyone who is
taken in by such a transparent hum
bug as their advocacy Of States rights
needs TO be interned.
THE two wet organs in Maryland, the
Hagerstown Mail and the Baltimore
Sun, are trying to make il appear that
Washington county may not be dry
after all-that the vote of the people
NAV be nullifed because the Legisla-
ture failed to pass supplementary
law. Temperance people need have no
fear. Washington county will be dry
after April 30th, for no licenses for
running saloons can possibly be grant
ed. The Hag Mail is trying to find a
loop-hole, but none is there.
IN a great speech in Baltimore last
Saturday President Wilson made plain
the attitude and the intentions of the
United States. He voiced the people
of his country when he declared that
the war will be fought TO finish and
that there will be no compromise with
the enemy until justice and freedom
for all nations has been made secure.
Every ounce Of our strength, every
particle of our resources will be utilizei
and as Germany has declared for rule
BY force, so We will spend our force TO
the utmost in fighting for our ideals
and for humanity. The President de-
nounced the military leaders who are
the real rulers of Germany, and scored
them for their injustice and insincerity
and for the unholy ambition that causes
them TO disregard the rights of men
and women and to tread under their
feet the weak and helpless. President
Wilson's words were lofty and pa
triotic and his purposes will be backed
TO the limit by the high-minded Ameri-
cans for whom he speaks.
