TELLS OF SHIPPING AIMS.
To Win War and Then Carry Our Trade,
SAYS Hurley.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-German
propaganda designed to create dissension
among the allies by stories that the Unit
ed States will use its enormous fleet of
transports and food ships for trade con-
quests after the war was the subject of
a statement yesterday by Chairman
Hurley of the shipping board. He said
that every nation now lined up against
autocracy could be depended upon to de-
tect the source of these suggestions and
discount them.
In building her merchant feet Amer.
lea plans first of all to win the war, and
after that to overcome her own neglect
to provide ocean transportation for her
own trade" said Mr.. Hurley. "To this
end the people of the United States are
preparing to develop transportation for
their own trade routes, without disturb
ing the trade rights of other nations.
at is unthinkable that nation fight
ing shoulder to shoulder with the other
democracies should turn its resources
after the war against them for trade con-
quests, the nature of which was largely
instrumental in causing the war"

LIBERTY BOND
TITHING-BOXES
Will Be Big Feature Of Woman's Cam
paign in Fourth Liberty Drive
Organizing for Effective Work.

ST. ALBANS, Aug. PA big feature o.
The woman's campaign in the Fourth Lib
erty Loan will be the use of tithng
box in which may be placed small or large
amounts. The minimum to be accom-
plished is to be the amount of first pay
ment on Liberty bond and it is expected
that by the time that has been done the
saving habit will have become so wei
fixed that the subsequent payments vii
be met promptly.
Mrs Edward c. Smith of this city, stat,
chairman of the womans campaign, al
ready has distributed many of the boxes
in Vermont, the work being done through
the IL county chairmen. The boxes, which
are of pasteboard, in red, white, and blue
are shipped fat and when once put to
gether cannot be taken apart without
tearing. On the front are the words
Fourth Liberty Loan; Save that Nicke
for Your Bond, and a picture of the
Statue of Liberty. On the reverse is a
picture of Priscilla and her spinning vince
and the words: "Womans Liberty Loan
Committee of New England" Around
the top, on all four sides, are appropri
ate lines and legends, all calculated tC
stimulate interest and pride in saving for
the bond. On one side are the lines:
First a nickel, then a dime;
Save the pennies every time;
First you know twill be dollar,
Help us make the Kaiser holeri
Save that nickel for your bond.
Vermont women, who made such an
enviable record in the Third Liberty Loar
campaign, are organizing foe even more
effective work in the coming drive, ''thC
Fighting Fourth" which will be calleC
in September Under the general direction
of Mrs. Myra b. Lord of Boston, publici
ty director for the Woman's Liberty Loar

campaign which will reach the remotes

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?
 READ AND BE CONVINCED

In yesterdays issue of the Nenana News two advertisements were in serted; one chroicled the loss of a pocket-book containing some money, postoffice key and some important documents; and the other was in the nature of a notice in- forming the patriotic citizens of this district that several bonds of the Third Liberty Loan could be ac- quired on payment of the second lnstalments due on them at the office of the special disbursing agent.
 Just one hour after the paper left the press, Leonti Vercun, a well known contractor, who had lost the pocket-book, received his property :; and MT. c. H. Hall, special disburs- ing agent, states this morning that all the bonds have been disposed of. It pays to advertise.

THE APATHIST
By Thos. Addison, of the Vigilantes

Apathy! I'm beginning to thing that your apathist, (to coin the word) is pretty nearly as bad as your pacifist. You can at least pillory the pacifist, plant the red flag over him, and warn straight out Americans to give him wide berth. But your apathist! What in heavens name, are you going to do with this chap? He isn't a traitor, he isn't false propogandist, he isn't even willful obstructionist. He is simply a human invertebrates dead weight in a war-working com munity that has got to be lugged along because there's nothing else to do with him.
 know Mir. Apathist, and you know him. As rule he hasn't any one of his immediate blood in the army-he and his are all safe, sound and snug. ou seldom see him at patriotic rally, or on a com- mittee to boost the Red Cross, or in Y. Nj. C. A. lover there" drive, or buying smokes for Sam mics. But he buys Liberty bonds you bet. And War Saving Stamps and Thrift Stamps. Good business that; you can't lose. But these other things they are begging for there's plenty of time to cone gin to fight. And, you know it's not so sure that we will have to fight Something is likely to happen before we get to the firing line peace, or a revolution in Germany, or something. And, anyway, the Government is running this show, and taxing the life out of us to do it. The Government doesn't need my help I'm just one in a hundred million. Let the fellows who have the money and time to spare do the shouting. I've got all l can attend

to keeping up With my growing business.
 You've hearc MT. Apathist talk just like that. have, anyway. He ; has ten tons of coal in his cellar when the state fuel administrator says the limi. is two; there are hundred pounds of sugar in his pantry when the grocer is allowing but three pounds week to family of four; he burns up gasoline joy riding on Sundays when the Govern ment begs the people to help con- serve the supply on hand. Whats the matter with this chap? I'll tell you. He is afflicted with mental myopia He is devoid of imagination. He is a materialist, a hedonist, an upspiritual clod of clay self centered as a turtle buried in the mud. He believes only in what is damned up to his nose-what he can taste, touch, smell and hear. He can't visualize this war; he could not do it is he was furnished with telescope that would give him a closeup of the bloody trenches in Flanders, or an audiphone that would let him hear the roar of the great guns. Ne moment he put the in- struments aside he would lapse into his former sense of aloofness from the scene. Three thousand miles away! What interest could he have in a thing so remote? If the Ger mans were fighting on the next block-why, yes! He'd grab his gun nnd and yR2 g9 gut with the gRRs Reife5hlh46rs if5lh 6fs home with any man. But across the seas!
 That's your apathist! Dear Lord, how I would like to put a pin in every chair he sits in-in every bed he lies in-in every shoe he walks in in every hat he sticks his head in. If I could only prod him, bod) and soul, until he was all awake and alive, and would pitch in and do a he-man's work for the holiest cause humanity's sun ever famed on! If I only could.
