FARMERS WILL NOT FALL
IN THIS LOAN.
Secretary Houston Says Each Must
Feel Personal Responsibility.

Secretary D. F. Houston of thd
Dept of Agriculture has sent thiA|
message to the American farmer
The 4th Liberty Loan will not fai
for lack OF support OF American fart
mers.
That is the answer l am givind
to those who ask me what the rel
Spouse of the American farmer will
be, am making this confdent
assertion in the face Of the fact thai
the American people are being asked
to make a colossal contribution I'd
Iiberty-stx billion dollars.
American farmers have demon1
strated their patriotic support Of th4
nations great war loans. One Of thu
most striking features Of the 3rd
Liberty Loan was the support gfve1|
II by the farming and rural populat
tions. Not only did farmers purchssd
literally Of the bonds, but the rural
communities as rule, were mor{
prompt in completing their quotas ot
the Loan than the larger cities. Mor{
than 10000 communities In the U. d
subscribed or over subscribed thei}
quotas. Many of them on the hrs/
day Of the campaign. The majority
Of these were not cttieA but countrJ
districts
But we have now a greater effort
TO make, and the responsibility ID
more directly than ever upon thS
Individual farmer. The conditional
throughout the country, particularly
IN New Eng and, make It impossible
10 30 to the farmer. It Is for hir|
to act with full knowledge of thd
situation that confronts the nation|
Our largest war loan has bee1|
launched II will tax cur determina1
ton to defend our liberty and oui
Republic at all costs. Our Armies I'D
the field are fighting victorieusly|
THE forces at home are now IN an
offensive that must not fail with

bonds that we may attain our obi

WHAT YOU SUBSCRIBE FOR.

When you subscribe to a Fighting
Fourth Liberty Loan bond you sub
scribe to the sentiment that the
world must be made safe for democ-
racy and subscribe to the fund that
is to make the world safe for demoe-
racy. You subscribe to the
belief that innocent women and
children on unarmed ships shall not
be sent to the bottom of the sea; that
women and children and old men
shall not be ravished and tortured and
murdered under the plea of military
necessity; that nurses shall not be
shet for deeds Of mercy, nor hospital
ships be sunk without warning, or
hospitals and uafortified cities be
bombed or eannonaded with long
range guns.

APPEALED TO BOYS IN KHAKI
FIirtatious Damseis Had No Chance
When Busy Little knitter APP
peared on the Scene.

Two girls travelling on a train
through Hoosierdom could have learn
ed lesson from plain little Indiana
school teacher, had they been wise
enough to do so. They were going on
pleasure trip and determined to have
they munched candy, read magazines,
played rhum and tried in every way
they could to attract the attention of
two uniformed young men near them
but all in vain.
The little school teacher, who was
on her way to attend a county insti-
tute, got on the train at little country
town. Shyly she entered the car, quiet
ly she took seat across from the two
girls, who were rather noisy in their
efforts to gain notice, and Immediately
after she was settled she began to fin
ish a beautiful knitted soldier sweater.
Industriously she worked-so intent
on her work that she noticed no one.
But the people noticed her and ap-
preciated her zeal and the quality OF
her patriotism. They smiled whenever
they passed her seat and proffered her
the loan of their papers and books.
And before many miles had been trav-
eled one of the khaki-clad youths was
beside her and the other one opposite.
The sweater had been examined, the
process Of making it explained to the
youths, and now they were telling the
little teacher camp stories.
The two girls giggled and remarked
about "some peoples tastes" because
they didn't MISUNDERSTANDING

HOW MANY ARE TRULY HAPPY
Eminent New York Physician Places
the Number at About One
in Hundred.

The other night we CHANGED to ask
an eminent physician of New York
city his opinion as to the number of
people who were truly happy. His
rather dOgmatic reply was:
about one in a hundred"
And this was not the opinion of q
pessimist, but Of a most radical OPP
timist.
We wonder if this opinion is shared
by others. 1t does not mean, OF
course, that ninety-nine people out of
a hundred are deeply unhappy. That
would be absurd. But there is no
doubt that a great many people are
quite unhappy good deal of the time,
perhaps not half the time, but enough
rather to cloud their lives.
We should like to know the opinion
of physicians generally. More and
more people go to the doctors to tell
them their troubles. The physician
of today takes the place of the con-
fesSional of yesterday.
Then, too, there is the new applica-
ton Of psychology to the field of medi-
cine-the so-called psycho-analysis,
which is so rapidly taking its place as
an important part, literally, of the
medical pharmacopoeia. This new sci
ence has given a wonderful insight
into our sub-cOnscious selves and re-
veals how far that sub-conscous self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out Of this confused
weller of existence.

RISK LIVES TO CATCH FISH
Indian Boys Get Rich Harvest From
Breaking Waves off the Coast
of Washington.

Even the lads of nine and twelve
years at the old Indian settlement of
La Push, nesting behind the pinnacle
rocks that rise out of the Pacific ocean
off the mouth of the Quillayute river
in Washington, are doing their share
toward winning the war. The lads,
half dressed, dash across the beach
to meet the incoming tide, wade into
the water and wait for the waves to
break with fish. AS the combers break
the lads dash into the boiling surf
and rake the ocean for fish, FIRE.
quently the waves dash over the boys
heads, but they never lose their foot
ing and the danger of the work does
not excite more than passing attention
from the old women weaving baskets.
During the day the Indians at La
Push village average fully ton of
fish caught with dip nets. The older
men help with the curing when their
days work is done, but it is the boys
task to capture the fish.
With each tide thousands Of smelt
are driven inshore. Each lift of the
dip nets from the surf generally
brings a basketful Of fish.
Three Of Quillayutes are now in
the military service. There are now
$50 men, women and children in the
little settlement, but each is doing
his or her share with fishing, war
- and other activities to help
gardens =.
win the war.

BOYS AND GIRLS
TO BUY BONDS

1t is hoped that every school boy
and girl in New England will buy
Fighting Fourth" Liberty bond, each
one paying for it, out of earnings. 1t
takes such a lot Of money 20 carry on
this great war every penny that can
be put into it is needed. There is
plenty of money in the world The
thing is to get it into the hands of
Uncle Sam so that he may turn it over
in one form or another to the soldiers.
There must be guns and bombs and
battleships, submarines and airplanes,
and there must be also things to wear
and things to eat. The soldiers must
be trained and they must be gotten
across. There are in fact, so many
things to spend money for it is i'm
possible to count them all
The important thing for everybody
to do seems to be to get money to-
gether and then lend it to Uncle Sam.
This means that money must be saved
and that money must be earned. 1t
can be saved by taking care of our
clothes SO as to make them last as
long as they possibly can, by furbish-
ing up the old instead of getting new
and by buying only what we positive
ly must have.
There are so many ways for boys
and girls to earn money these days
1t seems as though every one ought to
be able to earn 81 week for a $50
bond. There are things to be made
and sold, chores to be done, errands to
run. If every boy and girl will stop
to think 1t seems to be lmost Ger
tain that each one will find plenty Of
things to be done in his town, or his
neighborhoed, or his home, to help
him earn all or nearly all the money.
What he don't earn or save can per-
haps be supplemented from previous
savings.

NEW ENGLAND HONOR.

New England has brought honor to
herself in the way she has absorbed
the three former Liberty Loans. For
/ Fighting Fourth" which begins
september 2S, an even reader re-
go Is anticipated. Previous loans
furnished the sinews of war that
elped turn the tide and now

doubt that not only will spare

In these trying days when so
many homes are stricken with the
prevailing epidemic, there are many
instances where the sympathy of
the people has gone out to the sick
in a practical, helpful way, show
ing that the " milk of human kind
ness" is something more than a
phrase and runs strong and true in the
hearts of our people. This is shown
by Island Pond people in the work
of friends, neighbors and by the
local Branch of the Red Cross.
Everyone knows the Red Cross is
working to the limit, and every
Branch is able to do its quota of
work only through we'll directed
and intense activity. In the midst
of all this work the Island Pond
Branch has performed a double
duty in its care of the sick and
many homes in our village will
remember the ministration of
this band of self-denying workers
whose hand of mercy quiets the
throbbing brow of the sick, prepares
those who have passed on for the
last sad rites and comforts and en-
courages those who remain. The
Island Pond Branch of the Red
Cross is an organization to be proud
of and has met the local calls for
help in this trying time in the same
spirit of sef-denial and helpfuness
that has cheered the boys on the
battle front. All honor to the
American Red Cross and especially
to our Local Branch.

The republican party cannot hold
a State convention this year as the
law directs to formulate a platform,
owing to the influenza epidemic an
abe ban on holding public meetings.
This is a handicap but should mot
materially affect the party at the
coming election. The State commit
tee can formulate a platform that
will, doubtless in the main, be &C.
~eeptable to the republican voters,
and under existing circumstances
should be received without dissent.
The main issues are war work, State
finances and a revision of the system
of handling the State funds. Of
course there is the all important
question Of action on the prohibitory
amendment 70 the Federal constitu-
ton but that is practically settled in
the minds Of the people and its ac-
ceptance or rejection by any party
will not change the final vote of the
legislature. .We are for the accept
of the amendment but owing to the
present circumstances under which a
platform must be formulated we be-
lieve it wise to leave it out and let
the voters through their representa-
.tives and senators settle the question.
