EVERY day the people are asked to
sacrifice for the benefit of government,
to aid in the war work. They are do
ing it periodically even when they feel
that some mistake is being made and
some other plan would work to bet
ter end. But they are finding that
nearly all these sacrifices are being fol-
lowed or accompanied by advancing
costs while they daily see compare
tive few fattening through the added
profits. Now if the same government
authorities, who are urging these de-
malls upon the people that the food
NAV be sent to Europe, would see to it
that prices for the cheap substitutes
are not advanced to equal or exceed the
foods they replace; if they would see
that in this sacrificing there is not
added cost to the consumer, would not
the sacrifice be more willingly made,
and the people the great rank and file
be more able and more ready to con-
tribute in time and money to other pa
triotic work and TO welcome sacrifices
that are yet to come. Whatever the
remedy, whether it be in the Lever bill
to permit the food administration to
set prices, or whatever else, wouldn' t
there be more war enthusiasm by the
people if their interests were better
guarded and they were not expected to
be paying ever more, while others are
seen making large and exceptional
profits. Milwaukee News.

THE federal fuel administration for
Wisconsin has issued the following cir
cular to the public: 81 want to impress
upon you again the necessity of having
every man In your county provide for
next winters fuel supply. The short
age of coal may be acute. All the
available coal may be necessary to
bunker our ships. Our boys lover
there" must be provided with food,
munitions and all necessary supplies.
You don't want one of them to suffer
by reason of your not doing all you can
to help them. If coal is needed to
carry supplies to your boys you will
cheerfully go without, even to the ex-
tent of your own inconvenience and
suffering. You may be able to get
coal but you will not use one pound if
your boys need it. The way to help
them is to conserve your own resources
at home. Bunker your own stove with
wood so that your country's ships may
be bunkered with coal. Ships cannot
use wood for fuel. You can. Every
farmer should cut sufficient wood for
his next winters supply. Every man
living in city or village should cut or
buy wood enough for his winters sup
ply. Begin your part of the work to-
day. Hold a mass meeting at once.
Organize in every village or town Cut
a-Cord Clubs to cut wood as war
measure. with necessary offices and one
or more committees Find a suitable
timber tract or wood lot Arrange
with the owner for its cutting He
will understand that it is his patriotic
privilege to permit its use for this pur-
pose. In each town a certain afternoon
should be designated for the clubs
first wood chopping bee. Later on it
may seem advisable to designate every
Saturday afternoon and even Sundays
as wood chopping days. Put into your
work pep and enthusiasm. Make it ar
occasion of mirth and merriment as
we'll as service and sacrifice. Provide
badges if advisable for tie boys who
go over the top. Interest all organiza-
tons in the work which will be of ser.
vice, such as colleges, high schools.

scout organizations, country clubs and

THE Washington birthday address Of

The Washington birthday address or
Justice WinsIow of the supreme court
at Chicago presents a most concise in
dictment of Germany's conduct OF the
war and concludes that if such nation
imbued with such ideas and led by such
leaders wins this war against the united
armies of the world, it means that no
nation can ever again trust another;
1t means. that truth and honor and
good faith are to cease to exist so far
as international relations are concern
ed. National honor will be no more.
If one nation plays the game of dlplo-
macy with loaded dice others must do
the same. This means worldwide mill
itarism, worldwide spying and plot
ting, worldwide hatred and distrust;.
1t means that war becomes the chief
business of mankind. 1t means that no
small state can survive, especially IL 1t
be an agricultural state. 1t means IN
all likelihood a succession of wars re-
sulting finally in the triumph OF a great
military Prussianized empire of which
all other states, including this our own
republic, shall be dependencies or sub
missive slaves.

THE credit of the United States was
so high and unquestionable that in 1900,
two years after the Spanish war, 2 per
cent bonds were offered at par and
oversubscribed. This is financial per-
Torrance no other nation has ever
eoualed. United States per cent
bonds in 1888 sold as high as 139 and in
1901 brought 1893 n(the stock market.
The United States has never defaulted
on any of its bonds. Not one of its
bondholders has ever lost a cent OF
principal or interest except those who
voluntarily have taken losses by selling
their bonds in period of temporary
price depression. One hundred cents
on the dollar, principal and interest,
has the United States always paid.
Back of the $3.50. 900, 900, 900 to $500, :
600, 900, 900 of our national resources
stands the rugged honesty of America.
Liberty Loan Bonds are the safest Sc
curity In the world.

War Credits Board Approves Advan-
ces OF Nearly $3.50, 100000.
A statement prepared by the War
Credits Board includes the following
explanation of its functions and ac-
tivities.
When a concern that has a con-
tract with the War Department for
supplies has shown the board that it
needs financial assistance and has
been able to comply with the act by
giving adequate security, the board
has approved an advance payment
and the money has been received;
in many instances where the case
was urgent the money has been paid
over to the contractor the same day
the application has been filed. How
ever, the board does not act in any
sense as bank. 1t is only when the
manufacturer has reached a point
where financial assistance is needed,
in addition to his banking lines, that
application for advance payment for
his goods is considered favorably by
the board"
Between the time of its creation
in November and January "a the
board approved advances to contrac-
tors totaling $145,551, 900.

THE KAISER MET THE DEVIL.

| Wright M. CoOney.)
The Kaiser met the devil in an agl-
tated way. and the devil stopped his
prodding just to hear what Bill would
say. Bill approached him quite con-
tritely for he wanted something done
he would make his last endeavor to
enlist him with the Hun.
So he said, MY dear, good Satan,
I'm in trouble, I'm afraid; II we do
not work together sure as hell my
grave is made. l have worried and
I've wondered and the Huns stand in
dismay, when they hear the prepara-
tions over In the U. s. A.
II had thought that Gott was with
me but of late He's hard as bone, so
me, but Of late He's harl as bone, so
I've come for your assistance and
we'll oust Him from His throne. Now
dear Satan, won't you help me?
We're team that would work we'll,
an when the awful war is over we'll
own Heaven, Earth and He'll.
II surely am disgusted with the
Gott up in the skies; instead of help
ing me He's helping the Allies. Just
say the word and I'll abide; you come
along but I'll decide; and tonight at
just eleven I'll call out a string Of
Zeppelins and we'll make raid on
Heaven"
All this while old Satan wondered,
scratched his head and then he pom
dered. When he found his equilibrium
after Bill had gotten thru he address,
ed Bill Hohenzollern in these words
severe but true:
you're dirty, lowbrow migrate,
you're the worst I ever knew; you
are dippy, talking flighty, and to win
your greatest blunder you would
wreck your God Almighty.
Nov for years you've had a no
tion that you had regular call, and
some day you'd rule in Heaven, but
oh, Bill you'll get a fall. And this
sure as hell, for the Allies have your
measure and they'll fix you good and
well.
"You have stopped to the lowest
level you have broken every rule all
the world is now against you; you're
great big jackass fool. I don't like
your talk of methods; I'm the devil,
that is true, but you've wrecked and
butchered millions and have no use
for you.
Look at Belgium, poor bleeding
Belgium; look at France and England
too: all because you have a notion
that the world you could subdue. For
Furnishing l have a reputation, but
I've watched you all the while, and
for downright honery meanness you
have the devil skinned mile. All
the fire and birthstone, all the groans
and shrieks of hell you have equalled
and surpassed them, and you know

Little Corn Held by Dealers in East
and South.

Small stocks of corn in the hands
of dealers in New England and other
eastern and southern States, with the
exception of Delaware, Maryland, and
Virginia, where surplusses were pro-
duced, are indicated by reports to the
Department of Agriculture. Actual
available supplies In the southeastern
States are said to be greater than ever
before, although the amount Of corn
in the hands of distributors and other
dealers is much below normal.
Most districts in the southeastern
States have sufficient supplies for To-
cal needs, while dealers In many
places, especially Mississippi, Alaba-
ma, Georgia, and Florida have ship
ped large quantities of corn to the

Dope" for Aeroplanes

Eight chemical manufacturing plants,
built for the United States Bureau of Air
craft Production, estimated to cost seven
million dollars, are now nearing compile
ton. They will produce the necessary in
gradients used in the manufacture OF
''dope' for coating airplane surfaces, i'm
mence quantities of which are used month
ly, last months supply alone running into
200, 900 gallons.
"Dope'' is a varnish-like composition
for coating the fabric on the wings, all
erones tail pieces and bodies of airoplanes
to render the fabric smooth, strong,
taut. weather and temperature resistant, and
waterproof. 1t also decreases the air fric-
ton of the plane. The term ''dope'
seems to have arisen in the slang of the
factory workmen, but it has nothing to do
with drugs, also called "dope.''
There are two principal types of dope
now in use in the United States Air Ser
vice: Cellulose nitrate ''dope,'' used on
eiothiAS PIouSSS ouo NShdlOSS o(StotC
dope used on all planes shipped over
seas. Acetate ''dope,' when properly
made and applied, is believed to give bet
ter, more permanent and less inhammable
coating than nitrate s'dope.'' The char
acterstics of acetate "dope" are impor-
tant in connection with the use on combat
planes, which are subjected to attacks with
incendiary bullets.
The general method of doping the wing
surfaces is to apply three or four coats of
the ''dope," intervals of several hours clap
sing between the application of each
coat. because of the volatile nature of the
thinners of solvents used to dissolve the
dope the liquid portion evaporates
quickly and the air in the vicinity becomes
laden with the nightly injurious vapors OF
the solvents.-Ex.
