the Red Cross inspectors label and the
stamps which are to be furnished by

Stacker Records

It is to be hoped that the public with mind
engrossed with election and armistice news has
not overlooked the campaign that is being waged
for records for talking machines for the men
overseas.
It will be easy to get into habit of mind now
that the needs of our boys have ceased with the
coming to close of the war; We must fight
against this notion. Even after peace is declared,
it will take from one to two years to bring back
the boys. But in the meantime they will require
all the recreational facilities can offer them.
The campaign for the collection of talking
machine records in Wayne county has not fallen
down. but nevertheless the response has not been
as generous as was hoped for. The public is
asked to send records to the committee. Many
persons in this community who have scores Of
idle records have been remiss Wake up! Do
your duty.
The boys need thousands and thousands Of
records for their machines. The old records
which they have played thousands of times have
lost their appeal. Give them new ones. Go
through your collection and make the Stacker
records do service for the country.

come before the central body, whose business it
would be to determine the need of the appropria-
ton and then try and fit as far as possible, the
outgo to the estimated income. Our Government
often works in the reverse order Of first spending
and then making laws to fit the expenditures.
The final judge of course would be Congress;
it could deal more quickly and intelligently with
it's task if it had carefully prepared diagram of
essential OUTLAWS with which to begin its work.
1t is well-known fact that some departments
crowd needless expenditures into the final months
of the fiscal year in order that they may lay
claim, in the year following, to as large sum as
they had previously disbursed.- Review of Re-
views.

This German Obeyed All
La.Ds Set BY Government
and He Is Still Alive

AMSTERDAM, Oct 21.-(Corres-
pendent Of the A. PA German
church journal tells the story of pro-
fessor, conscientious man, who from
the beginning of the war made up his
mind to give strict obedience to any
laws that might be laid down by
those placed above him. Most scru-
pulously did he observe all the food
regulations. Never once did he give
way to "hamstring" and the clandes-
tine food trafficker knew him not. He
and his family were poorly clad and
often went to bed hungry; but his
conscience remained clear and his
honor bright.
Good Lord is this man still alive?'
incredulously exclaims the Vowaerts,
of Berlin, the socialist organ.
