NATURALLY HE WAS PEEVED
Doo's Failure to Observe Meatless Day Cost indiana Gentleman Just
 One Fine Ham.

Louis E. Laitner, constable In the coroncr'S office. is peeved and he has a right to be.
 Wingie. as he is known about the courthouse, likes to hunt. He also likes rabbits as a food. AS rabbits were selling for g. cents apiece he decided to go get some with the aid of a dog and gun and thereby have the fun of hunting as well as the pleasure of eating and at the same time reduce the cost of living.
 So he borrowed q dog from one Of his friends and hiked for the country. The result of his craftsmanship for the day was two rabbits. but Wingie was happy when he returned home with 70 cents worth of game, so he put the dog in the basement for safe keeping. and went to bed perfectly contented.
 In the morning. when he went to get the dog his joy turned to gloom. The dog was there all right, but per fectly good ham. which was stored in the basement, was gone. That Is, most of 1t was gone. and what was left was unfit for use as food, because what the dog had not eaten he had ehewed or dragged over the floor.
 That ham stood me three dollars" Said Laitner, when telling about the incident, "aud I had half notion to shoot the dog. not so much because-I I mourned the loss of the ham, but the scoun6rel is q traitor, as It all hap pened on 'meatless' Tuesday."-Indl- annapolis News.

children. (The best that Germany was able to do in her last loan was $SO per person.) To equal Britain's effort America, AFTER SHE HAD BEEN THREE YEARS AT WAR, would have to sub scribe $1O,OOO,OOO,OOO in a sisgle loan. Through taxation, interest on loans and higher cost of living, it is estimated that every Englishman with an an- nual income of $25OO gives $750 to support the war. One reason for this high cost is that Britain BEGAN the war without properly appreciating it's financial burdens. It was the Business as Usual' cry that prevented the pouring out of money AT FIRST which, if then gwen, might have meant a saying to England later, and especially a saving of English lives.
 This war can not be won with out sacrifice. Let no one think it. # Germany wins. or even makes To. draw of it, our future sacrifices will be many times greater. Let no one deceive himself IS to chat. Right now we are pouring out boys-getting them ready. we must pour out dollars to equip them, but most of all, to furnish them with the instruments of war thQt their LIVES may not be lost by being put up as man power against machinery. Many of our boys will die; but some we may save if We are ready to spend the last dollar of our resources in giving them the tools with which 10 make a fair fight.
 Right now it is "dollars and boys" This is no abstract geueraliz- atioa. It is a question for YOU tc answer personally, with seri- ous thought of what money YOU have available. Every dollar held back for mere luxury, for norl- essentials during this war, means greater chance of the loss of a boy-it may be of your boy.
 IF YOU HAVE NO BOY IN SERVICE. AND HOLD BACK YOUR DOLLARS, CAN YOU LOOK YOUR NEIGHBOR IN THE FACE WHEN HE LOSES HIS BOYS? IF YOU DO HOLD BACK. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO STAND IN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S ES- TAXATION WHEN THIS WAR ENDSo

 The ease with which the draft of men was carried through, the quiet acqIiescence of America in it, when advised by America's self-chosen leaders, was 8 magnificent proof of tie essential patriotism of our people and of our confidence that we are q truly dmeocratjc nation. We trusted our advisers because we had ourselves elected them. Now We must trust them with our mon- ey and We must be ready for sac rifices. THIS WAR CAN NOT EV- EN BE BEGUN TO BE WON UN- TIL THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA FULLY REALIZE THAT SACRIFIC- ES OF ALL SORTS. BUT ESPEC- TALLY OF MEN AND MONEY, ARE INEVITABLE.
