nomena Of the WARRIOR they began
with the war and may end with the
war
They are all real children-most of
them ten years old, and the Oldest is
thirteen. They are not freaks-just
normal, healthy children with pretty
faces, cute ways and big appetites:
Yet, somehow or other, they manage
10 put over" their stuff in, such a
way that people gasp, express aston
ishment, and then go to the box office
and buy tickets for the next perform.

IT'S GOOD BUSINESS ALL THROUGH

IL UUOD DUSlNESS ALL lHROUGH
The Third Liberty Loan bonds pay Ia per
cent interest, semi-annually
If you invest 500 of your savings the govern
ment will pay you $4.25 every year until it pays
back to you the 500.
If you put that government-paid interest into
a savings bank every six months, getting four per
cent interest on it, compounded every six months,
you will in II years have 500 in the savings bank
which represents what the government paid you
for the use of your original 500 plus the COM
pounded interest which the bank will pay. ~
And you still have the $500 Liberty Loan bond,
drawing interest!
Thus in II years your $1OO has become $780,
1t may be more, for American experience has been
that government bonds bearing as high interest
rate as these Liberty Loan bonds sell above par
II years after the war which they financed is
ended. In fact, United States bonds bearing less
interest have sold as high as $125. 10y -
While bonds Of the first and second Liberty
Loans now sell in the bond marts at trifle below
par, the Third Liberty Loan should not drop in
per cent sinking fund which the United States
department of treasury intends using as lever to
keep them at par.
1t is highly important that these bonds be
bought and kept by the millions of small investors,
the men and women who have from $50 to $1,000 to
invest, rather than the banks. The bonds pur-
chased by banks would, naturally enough, 70 to
federal reserve banks and an increased flow, Of
bank notes would further initiate our currency.
That in turn would make for cheaper money and
by the same token, higher prices. Therefore, it

American citizen to make to buy Liberty Loan

THOU SHALT NOT COVET

A Salvation Army adjutant. doing relief work
in France, writes Commander Eva Booth that it
is often very hard to follow the dictates of Chris
tianity while hearing daily reports of German
atrocities. The particular bit OF Hunism that
called forth this despairng statement was-the
reported cutting Of the Threats Of three American
soldiers by dozen German soldiers. :
The difficulty with such a viewpoint is that it
tends to substitute the genius, or quality, of an
allie nrace for that Of ones own 1t invites US to
compete with the Hun on the Huns chosen and
to fight him with weapon wholly familiar to him
practced ground, to make his morals our morals,
and to US wholly unfamiliar. In such competi-
ton the democracies of the world would be de-
feated. 49,.
All that we need to know about the Hun atroc-
ties is that they are, that they are an essential
part of the genius Of the German autocracy, SO
essential and 50 characteristic a part that they
sand despite the protest Of an entire world DEM
ocracy, warned as to the weapon being employed
against it, must win this war with its own weapon,
it's own genius. its own quality.
And that quality does believe in forgiveness,
does believe in mercy, does believe in overcoming
evil with good. And note that word overcoming"
We of America stake Americas future on our
belief in the inevitable triumph of righteousness,
which is positive thing, and the equally newt
able downfall Of the frghtful, which is negative
thing. We shall win this war by virtue OF our own
soul; nor shall we covet the soul OF the Hun, to
whom the cutting Of captive Threats is good.

REGARDING 1RRIoATIoH

A meeting of the water users and
ditch managers was called by q
COMMITTEES from the State Council
Of Defense for last Monday at 1000
A. NJ. at the Court House in Pue-
bio.
The purpose Of the meeting as
outlined in the call was to meet
the necessity for the better use of
water for irrigation and to help to
meet the demands of the war.
A large and representative body
OF men answered the call, and
many interesting topics were dis
cussed, and it is hoped that some
useful information will be dissemin-
ated. 1t appears that every sec
ton in Water Division No. q is

ton in an adequate manner.
After careful discussion. by the
State Engineer.the Division Engi-
neer and representative men from
all sections from Leadville, COlOla-
du Springs and Trinidad to Holly,
it WAS agreed that no attempt
should be made to loan or exchange
water among the bitches or to at
rc,npt to distribute water in any
way except according to decrced
Iriorities and vested rights. This
left only one way to ecnmize in

agreed that every public official.
the State Council of Defense and
each county Council of Defense
should support the Superinten-
dents of all bitches in the control
and distribution of water. If q far
nkr does not use the best methods
to care for water, he will be obliged
to give up his water to those who
will use the water so as to secure
greater returns. If anyone wastes
water, he shall be shut of from its
use, and the County Commissioners
are expected to strictly enforce the
law as to any waste of irrigation
water.
The water users pledged their
support to secure the carrying out Of
THESE and any other measures which
will help to secure more economy
and efficiency in the use of water.
There is no question that the wealth
er has been most unusual and the
necessity for greater effort of every
individual Is NEEDED to conserve

best possible results in raising
crops to win the war. The following
resolutions were unanimously q.

to Save Pits of
Fruit for Masks

The Rock Island chapter, Ameri-
can Red Cross, is today asking ev-
cry citizen to join in the nation
wide campaign for collecting GER
tain fruit stones, fruit pits and nut
shells. One collection center has
been in operation in this city for
some time. New ones will be estab-
lished. the places to be announced

Meantime every one is asked to
start saving and drying the stones
and shells, which are urgently
needed to make the carbon that
protects the men overseas from poi
son gas.
Seeds and shells TO be saved are:
Peach stones. apricot pits, prune
pits, plum pits, olive pits, date

walnut shells. hickory nut shells
and butter nut shells.
All of these must be absolutely

The government must have 500
tons daily without fail 1t is so
easy and simple a thing for every
one to do that no one should fail of
his share. Only those materials

A Davenport boy, Alden Benson,
son OF Mrs. p. +. Bennson OF Jer-

and says that at the rate the Amer
leans are driving the enemy, that
the allied forces will reach Ger
many before his letter, dated Aug.
IL. reached America.
In describing his participation in
battle, he says;

were lots of German women fight

Of Is and IS years of age. They
