BE FAIR TO DRAFT MEN

There seems to be n sentiment in
some business circles that man sub
ject TO draft Is a marked man and
one not to be considered In applica-
tions for employment. Notwithstand-
Ing the war department authorities
have ordered all men Of draft age to
become usefully employed, frequently
advertisements in the papers for help
state specifically that men Of draft age
need not apply. When the govern
ment was urging upon the people the
selective service act as the most demo-
cratic and the fairest way for raising
an army 1t was generally understood
that no odium attached to the man who
waited until the government called him
to the particular service for which he
was needed, says Houston Post. 1t
was the theory, at least, advanced
that there should be no difference be-
tween the volunteer and the draft man,
and in the actions of the government
that spirit seems to have been abund-
antly carried out, for the draft men
In the camps have been well treated,
and If there have been any favors
shown at all by military authorities
they have been toward draft men. In
spite Of this some employers apparent
ly place the convenience Of their busl-
ness first and boldly announce that
men Of draft age are not wanted, for
fear Of an early call inconvenlencing
Its labor arrangement. If all employ
ers took this view u good many men
subject to draft would starve to death
while waiting for the government to
call them.

Fourth Liberty Loan.

The campaign for the fourth
Libert loan will open Saturday,
Septemb Der % and continue three
weeks, ending October l9.
In liking three weeks as the
length of the campaign for the
fourth loan, instead of the four
weeks as in previous loans, trea-
sury officials plan for more IN
tensive campaign. A. shorter
campaign, it was said, also will
enable more business men to en-
list as workers.
The date of the campaign was
announced at this time that in
order to allow campaign organ
lzatlons to prepare for the sale OF
bonds and to prevent the plan
nlng of other campaigns which
might interfere with the fota-
tion OF the loan.
The amount of the loan will be
100000 and the rate of inter
est which the bonds will bear Al
per cent. Should the treasury
decide soon to place on the mar
ket certificates of ndebtedness
redeemable next June, when tax
ers are paid the amount OF the
loan may be reduced.

SCOUTS AS LITTLE BROTHERS.

The plan of the Boy Scouts OF Amer
lea to adopt "big brother" from
among the men who are being accept
eed for government service is being
taken up all over the country. Each
Boy Scout promises, as representa-
tive Of his big brother, to drop around
to the soldiers house at least twice Il
week to see whether there is anything
he can do for the family, especially if
there Is no one in the home except old
people. The Scout will undertake TO
carry as much cheer there as possible,
as well as being on the lookout for
some bit of service he can render to
make things easier He Is also going
TO see to it that his big soldier brother
is to be kept Informed as to the home
news, including the progress Of affairs
in the baseball world and the mauy
other interesting things that n boy
might think of to write and the details
OF which might be overlooked by the
older people.
The soldier should certainly grasp
this opportunity to get as a "little
brother" one who will be interested in
all he is doing and to whom he can
write and from whom he can get the
real news from home, such as how the
place looks and what the folks are
saying and doing. If the soldier has
no relatives that he can write to about
his needs, the friendliness Of the Boy
Scout Of America will do much to sup
ply the lack.

Uncle Sam Insures
His Fighters Literally.

The United States Government
offers a $40 900 life insurance
policy without medical examina
ton 10 any person IN Its military
or naval service at an average
cost Of Sc to ~ month. lu the
event of the death OF the insured
the Government pays out the pol
ICY in monthly lnstallments that
total up to $l3 800. The insur-
ance can be maintained for i've
years after the declaration OF
pace.
Nor IS that all. To officers and
enlisted men alike the Govern
ment has promised compensation
IN the case Of death or disability
incurred in the line of duty, re-
eardless whether the man has
taken out insurance with Uncle
Sam or not. This compensation
ranges from $40 to SIS month
to the mans wife, child or de
pendent father or mother in the
event Of the mans death; and IN
case OF partial or total disability
the compensation Is IN proportion
to the degree Of disability. So
that while every good person
wishes Uncle Sam would never
have occasion to pay out cent OF
or compensation TO his
defenders, 1t Is some consol tioD
to know that the dependents OF
those lads who may make the
sacrifice IN this war will
receive as much as $l32 so
month for twenty years and
something every month there
after.

Value OF a Hluh Aim,

A glorious aim reacts In vltallzlng
