stinate attitude Of wealthy Ameri-
can citizen of this city.
A German transplanted in this
country and this city has land in two
townships. He was appraised at $500
in one and $500 in the other He
volunteered at city headquarters, but
when told Of his appraisements he
answered. We'll dots all right, but

Thomas this forenoon. THE hospital
wants $500 worth. and we will buy OF
every ISSUE The subscription was
taken over the telephone, and the time
to make the trip was saved.
The committee it knows where

American gave to the telephone re-
minder that he had not volunteered his

plain that it is the federal require

their subscriptions, unless prevented
by some good reason. are to be con-
sidered the real patriots in this war
campaign. But altho city headquarters

to letter or telephone reminder
will not be missed. The committee
is determined to search out every
person in the city who should sub
scribe but who has not. It will be this
work of rounding up the delinQuents
that will occupy the time OF the COM
nfittee for the next few days.
From the country precincts have
come two cases that were. the COM
mittee thinks. partly due to personal
feeling between the men solicited and
those who solicited them. In both
cases the men refused to subscribe or
gave the solicitors little satisfaction,
and both cases were reported to the
general committee. It summoned both
men and in both cases the men sum-
moned subscribed 10 the full amount
Of their appraisement.

Ruskin Animal Pictures Enjoyed by

1000 StZeG Audience at oCS0Hs
Interesting and instructive motion
pictures of wild animal life in far dis

Teen taken under the greatest of dill

accessible habitats Of the wild SUBJ
Jects. many OF which were Photo-
graphed at short range.
Because Of the excellence Of the
photographs and the interest OF the
subjects those OF Canadian geese
white fronted geese, coots, herons,
cormorants, pelicans, bald eagles and
buzzards were especially pleasing.
The photos Of the wild game, and par
ticularly Of the pelicans, both mature
and young, which illustrated the Pc
culiar and instructive method by which
the mother bird feeds her young. were
really unusually meritorious.
OF the animal pictures those OF the
skunk, the lynx, elephants, lion, tiger
orang- outang, mountain lions, and
monkeys were shown. An unusually
good reel showing the capture OF a
large mountain lion excited real Inter
est and the "close-ups' o. lion were
unusual In addition some moves OF
black bears were good. A showing OF
a boa constructor of some size was a
creepy exhibition Of this jungle
monster. What are said to be moon

lake are exceptional exhibits of motion
picture photography under unusual
lighting conditions. The pictures were
made by an expedition that went into
the Canadian Rockies, parts Of Alaska,

mssplicing OF one film, which
caused a long repetition, and mistakes
in repeating portions of other films,
were details Of the Thursday night
showing that were annoying but
which, it was promised, would be rem
edied.

A U. S. VOLUNTEER.

I'm just an every day soldier, friend
And M here just one year.
But of this thing I'm certainly proud,
Pm u. S. Volunteer.
When we left our homes in the Pine
tree state,
And the folks, we loved so dear,
A cheer went up from the gathering
throng,
For the U. s. Volunteer.
But it seems to me at present,
That the people from far and near
Are giving a hand to the Drafted men
And forgetting the Volunteer.
The papers say they select them,
But of papers we have nothing to fear,
For Uncle Sam will be a friend
To the U. S. Volunteer.
But none of us ale kicking,
But it does seem mighty queer
That the Credit all goes to the Drafted
men,
And none to the Volunteer.
But when we cross the ocesn,
And the Strengthening Hun draws near
Twill be safer bet that the man in
the front,
Is y. S Volunteer.
Oftimes read the papers,
But they always seem to sheer
And give a column to tie Drafted men
But none to the Volunteer.
But when grow old and feeble,
And the end is drawing near,
With pride I'll look back yonder
On my youth as a Volunteer.
So take this tip from me friends,
Don't wait till the end is here
Don't wait till you have to be Drafted,
Be y. S. Volunteer. III

boy who is in the U. S. Army at Fort

old-fashioned farmers have claimed
that Connecticut did not have the
proper soil for raising wheat, while
some of the more up to date farmers
have demons rated that land sowed TO
wheat is paying proposition. The re-
cent ruling of the Food Administrator
making it necessary to purchase % per
cent wheat substitute with ell wheat
flour, will undoubtedly induce many
farmers who have never done so before,
to put in enough wheat to supply their
own needs
During the coming year our exports
of farm produce, which will consist of
nearly every kind of grain and meat,
will be larger than ever before and as
we continue to send our soldiers abroad
these exports of produce must increase
correspondingly. Our soldiers and
those of our allies must be properly fed
and the farmer has it in his power to
supply sufficient for their requirements
and for the use of those who remain at
home. With the aid of the government,
which will help every farmer to pur-
chase seeds and supplies, there is no
reason aside from the labor problem,
why the coming year should not see
the production of greater crops than
ever before.
The labor problem is serious every
where but there is everv indication
that the government will overcome
this difficulty before the need for men
is urgent. The government must take
some action If the maximum amount
Of produce is expected and with this
thought in mind, the farmer should
plan accordingly. The agent of the
county farm bureau can be of great
assistance to every farmer and should
be consulted regarding any matters on
the farm, which are difficult to solve.
The government has left nothing uu-
done which might aid the farmer in
producing his crops and now it is up to
tie farmer to show that he has taken
advantage of these opportunities by
producing larger crops than ever.

1t Is not with perseverance, that we
thus aliude to Abraham Lincoln, whose
birthday was celebrated last Tuesday,
bat with feeling of great admiration
respect and love for the great Ameri-
cam citizen who started from the very
lowest rung of the ladder and during a
life which was marked with endless
cares was able to attain the highest
position w thin the gift of the people.
Tt was not merely being president,
that has endeared the memory of Lin
soan in the hearts of every American
citizen, but the sterling character
which was so wrought that it was i'm
possible for him to turn his back upon
righteousness and justice and because
of which fact he was often made the
subject of rldicule.
Like many other great men, Lincoln
was not given the respect or credit due
him while alive, but each year the
people of this country realize more and
naore the trying situation which he
faced as president during the Civil war
sna with what great patience, fore
sight and loving kindness he admin.
issered the duties of his Office. Even
during the turbulent times of the Civil
war. the majority Of people by instinct
Or intuition were attracted to him and
were willing to abide by his decision,
knowing that their confidence was not
znisplaced.
The natal day of Lincoln ia more
significant than ever this year as this
eonntry approaches the anniversary of
Has entrance into the great world war.
President Lincoln was moved to tears
&nd prayer because the internal strife
for freedom and democracy or slavery,
had placed brother against brother and
father against son. Like father to his
xnillrsn he pleaded with them, but
when he saw his pleading was in vain
has sense o. duty and justice to his
~ountry compelled him to stand by the
negro.
Official Washington can take no
hotter man for an example in the
present crisis which the country is fac.
Ing. Lincoln's ability to correct mis-
takes and not ignore or exagg crate
them, to place zeal value on the utter
snces of the people and his political
family and not that which was appar.
snt to the majority of people, is worthy
af emulation at the present time.
