is CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP
Court Prosecutor, Insisting on Prisoner
Demonstrating How Hard He As
saulted Man, is Speedily Shown.

1t happened in the courtroom during
the trial of a husky young man who
was charged with assault and battery,
relates the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Throughout an especially severe cross
examination the defendant stoutly
maintained that he had merely pushed
the plaintiff "a little bit"
"Well. about how hard?" queried the
prosecutor.
ooh, just a little bit" responded the
defendant.
snow" said the attorney, "for the
benefit of the judge and the jury, you
will please step down here and, with
me for the subject, illustrate just how
hard you mean"
Owing to the unmerciful badgering
which the witness had just been
through, the prosecutor thought that
the young man would perhaps overdo
the matter to get back at him, and thus
incriminate himself.
The defendant descended as per
schedule, and approached the waiting
attorney. When he reached him the
spectators were astonished to see him
slap the lawyer in the face, kick him
in the shins, seize him bodily, and,
finally, with a supreme effort, lift him
from the floor and hurl him PROSTATE
across a table.
Turning from the bewildered prose-
cutor, he faced the court and explained
mildly:

Law of the Family.

No mas lives for himself alone.
Whether we will or not, we are de-
pendent on the exertions of others and
others are affected by our good or
evil acts, says Paris T. Farwell in the
Congregationalist. We belong to a
family, a town, a state, a nation, to the
great family Of mankind. Absolute
liberty is not possible even for the
members of a family except as the lib
erty is guided by good will. If In a
home each member considered himself
alone, disregarding the wishes and
welfare of others, the result would be
destruction. That is the best society
In which the law of the family is APP
piled on the largest scale. The Golden
Rule is the only law by which ideal So
ciety can be obtained. "We are mem
bers one of another"

ton to those patriotic citizens who are
Just beginning to place their savings

the First Liberty Loan $40 bonds,
the Second Liberty 40 bonds. and the
Third Liberty loan 4i4Ct bonds. The
first and second issues were made con
yertible into those that followed ton
terms stated Within. When the First

Allies Have more Wheat.

England and France have made a
remarkable wartime record In raising
crops this year. The French crop OF
wheat promises to be 10000 600 BUSH
els more than last year, and England
probably will have 30,00000O more
than In 1917.
with 100000 fewer male laborers on
the land than before the war, England
and Wales have planted 33 per cent
more, land to crops this year than in
1916. and the area OF grain is the
largest on record. The increase In
grain and potatoes is 100000 acres
Scotland and Ireland are expected to
show almost as great an increase. The
wheat acreage in England and Wales
IS 2,6d5,000 acres; oats, 100000
acres; barley, 100000 acres; rye and
minor grains, 6S2,000 acres; potatoes,

WHAT THE LIBERTY BOND DOES

Having bought Liberty Bonds most
purchasers would like to know in what
particular way the money they have so
gladly given is to be expended in the
conduct Of the great war that has en-
quilted the world. In response TO this
silent appeal the War Department of
the United States Government has
computed the cost OF various things
and just what bonds of different de-
nominations will do Five hundred
si000-bonds. for instance. VIII buy an
amount of powder equal to the output
for one day OF one OF the Government
powder plants while one $50bond will
provide one soldier in the American
Expeditionary Forces with food for
practically four months or exactly ZIG
days and tiny fraction over.
One $1,000 bond will provide one 16-
inch shell, ready to fire; or smokeless
powder enough to propel three l6-inch
coast shells and T. n. T. enough TO
burst 90 three-inch Stokes Mortar
shells. Six $l00.bonds will provide 10
ahplane flares or so three-inch shells.
One S500bond will provide two ma
chine guns or 300 steel helmets. Two
SlO0 and one S50-bond will purchase
meat cans for two soldier companies,
or bacon cans for four soldier compa.

Fighting Fourth Liberty Loan
Facts and Figures
BUYING BONDS
is NOW A HABIT

To buy Liberty Bond has become
habit with The people OF the United
States. growing habit. and no one is
complaining. This Is proven by the
figures.
OnT May 2. 1917. the First Liberty
Loan was announced and the cam
paign began one month later. Two
billion dollars in $40 bonds were Of
fefed and brought four and one half
million subscribers The subscrip-
lions amounted in All to more than
three billion dollars, OF which only
two billion were allotted. The out
standing feature of this fist loan was
the promptness with which it was ar
ranged and conducted, Taking only
two weeks to be foFahsdfana selling to
four and one half million people
where only 100000 people were habit
ual purchasers of bonds, presents al.
most a miracle in finance.

OF this campaign was the important
part which labor. fraternal organiza

The Third Liberty Loan campaign
was inaugurated on April 6. 1918, the
anniversary OF the entrance OF this
country into the war. Three billion
dollars were offered About seventeen

campaign was made notable by its
wide distribution among the people
and the large response made to 1t b!

Try This To Danish
All Rheumatic Pains

People who have been tormented
for years-yes, even so crippled that
they were unable TO help themselves
have been brought back 10 robust
health through The mighty power Of
Rheuma.
Rheuma acts with speed; 1t brings
in a few days the relief you have
prayed for. It antagonizes the poi
sons that cause agony and pain in the
joints and muscles and quickly the tor
turing soreness completely disappears.
II is harmless and inexpensive
remedy, but sure and certain, because
II is one discovery that has forced
rheumatism and sciatlca to yield and
disappear
Begin the Rheuma treatment today,
and If you do not get the joyful relief
you expect. your money will be re-
turned. W. l.. Gokay always has a
supply and guarantees It to you.

WHERE THE MONEY
COMES FROM

where does all the money come
from to carry on this stupend0us
war; The question is common one
but the facts are assuring. There Is
in reality. more gold in this country
today than there was before the war;
and certainly there is much more pa
per money
According 10 a statement from
Washington there is more actual
rency in circulation now than at any
previous time in the Nations history.
and there is bigger share for every
man, woman ana child.
In brief. il is wealth, or goods, in
some form which has been destroyed.
The cost of the war Is largely repre-
scented by the destruction OF goods, re-
ferable to money only as means OF
recording their value, and that money,
in this sense, plays A role secondary
TO goods. IL is the quantity OF goods
demanded by war which forms the
real economic expense of this terrible
struggle. Money remains; goods are
destroyed. The war is really being
carried on by credit.
A United States Treasury report on
August Is showed 1853 900 900 in cir
culation- S7O0.O0O.O0O more than a
year ago and S175, 200, 900 more than 4
month previous. making an average OF
S5244 for each person.
These figures on the stock OF money
bear little relation to the nations &C.
tual wealth or to its credit resources
since these amount to many times the
actual money available.
The ability OF the government to
/ borrow and to obtain enormous sums
OF purchasing power over goods need
ed in the war. thus depends not only
on the wealth Of the country, but also
upon its sound finance and the skilled
mobilization OF its resources. That
the finances OF the United States are
sound. the mobilization Of its re
sources skilled and the confidence OF
its people in them absolute, IS more
than proved by the rapidity and eager
ness with which its three Liberty
Loans have been over subscribed
That the Fighting Fourth, about tC
be launched, will meet with an equa
response cannot be doubted by any
one who knows the spirit OF the Amer
lean people

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS

It is often asked by owners of Lib
erty Bonds ii il is wise to convert
their first and second issues into high
er interest rate bonds To them
It should be said that the First 3hs
are completely tax exempt and conse-
quently there is a demand for them by
presons subject to high rates of add.
tional taxes. This demand has caused
them 10 sell hlghes' in the market than
the other issues. They therefore
should not be converted. but persons
with ordinary incomes will probably
find II advantageous to sell them and
purchase AIS. II would seem gener.
ally advantageous to exchange the As
for AIS. This can be done only be-
fore Nov. 3. 1918. Most banks will at
tend to exchanges, sales and pur-
chases

they buy additional bonds do so from
