CUTS THROAT
OF ATLANTA GROCER

Atlanta, Sept 21.-Abby Greenburg
j north side grocer, was found with
his throat cut early yesterday morn
ing, and told the police that big
negro entered his store and demanded
the contents of the cash register.
When he refused, the negro cut his
throat with large butcher knife, then
evidently became frightened and ran
off without touching the cash regis
ter. Greenburg was taken to hos
pital where it is thought he will re-
cover. A large butcher knife covered
with blood was found in the store

FEED OUT YOUR HOGS SIX
WEEKS EARLIER. :.

In every lot of hogs on feed two
or three weeks quickly and actually
eat less than others. If all would
fatten like these, the entire drove
would be ready for the market six
weeks earlier and to save six weeks
feed is an item that you fully under
stand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. A. Thomas, Hog Powder is con-
ditioner for hogs. 1t keeps their sys-
TEN clean and healthy and enables

cine and we took the agency because

America is made up of 100, OOO,-

women. It has been we'll said
that God does not know America
as America, except as he knows
you and me and every individual
who in the aggregate comprise

You are America to the extent
Of your individuality. Your re-

America as a whole.
America must put forth every

self, but America will fail to do
this to the extent that any single
individual fails to do his or her
full duty.

OUR POLITICS:
WIN THE w a r
TIME TO WAKE UP.

Some are at work, OtnerS are
loafing. Some are in gainful
pursuits that will help the ma
ton; most are in pursuits that
will help only themselves.
This war is going to be won in
the sweat of mems faces.
We have got to have con-
servation of muscle energy and
a control of muscle energy as
we'll as brain energy.
Congress is fddling about
things that are not worth while
when the world is burning up.
Politicians are running up and
down the country grooming for
office while our boys are begin
ming to bleed to death in France.
And million more of these
boys are eager to go to France.
They are trained to the mark
physically. They are waiting
for ships.
There is a shortage of labor in
high and in low places.
There is shortage of men to
do national service.
A man can do national service
in the counting room, in the fac
tory, in the mines, in the office
and in the fields.
The government has right
in a time of war to call upon
every ablebodied citizen for war
duty, therefore the government
of the United States ought to
register every man between the
ages of Is and IS.
An account of what every
man is doing should be kept.
The qualifications of that man
for work should be set forth.
All these should be subject to
call.
There is a shortage of labor on
the farm, and yet streets are
filled with loafers. There is a
shortage of labor in the fac
tories, and yet other men are
going up and down the country
organizing the forces of discon-
tent.
There is a widespread German
propaganda all over this country,
It has become bold within the
last three weeks. The temper
airy successes of the kaiser on
the western line gave it courage.
Germans filled the iron rods
that were to be used in the aero
planes with lead. They threw
sand in the gear boxes of the
delicate machinery. Some of the
more hellish have put poison in
surgical dressing. Some are
ready to 'scatter disease germs
that will kill cattle. Some are
going about among ignorant
people and telling them that
this is the rich mans war and
the poor mans fight.
Here and there .some COM
plain that the government itself
is going to pieces. Others are
carping at things going badly,
and yet are doing nothing
themselves.
We ought to have universal
military service in this country
now, universal government SER
vice, universal service for the
flag of the United States, uni
versal service in the cause OF
liberty and civilization.
If this republic is to save itself
and is to save the civilization of
the world, if we are to save the
lives of our own soldiers, every
one must do his duty.
Out with the fellow who says
he is willing to do his bit. -
A bit in America harks back
to IL LIZ cents.
Everyone must do more than
a bit.
Every man. must give to the

KING GEORGE RAPs HIS COUSIN
WHO is HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR CRIMES
WOULD GIVE BILL THE. LIMIT.
"No Retributive Penalty, No Matter
How Severe, Would Be Unde-
served" Asserts the King

London, Nov. 2S.-What does
King George really think Of his cou-
sin, William Hohenzollern, former
German emperor? According to a
writer in the Daily News, which is
usually very careful as to the trust
worthiness of what it prints, King
George regards him as "the greatest
criminal in the world today"
The writer says that he was talk
ing few days ago with a we'll
known statesman who has had many
opportunities OF hearing the king ex-
press his views OF the kaiser. And
he thus summarizes what the well
known statesman" told him:
my informant says that the
kings feelings and expressions are
so strong that they could hardly be
Reproduced verbatim, but that the
substance of them is that the ex-
kaiser Is the greatest criminal In the
world today; that he is directly re.
sponsible for. the outrages on the
Belgian and French civil popula'
tions; for the bombing and air raids
on the innocent inhabitants of un-
fortified towns; for the torpedoine
OF passenger and hospital ships and
the sinking of survivors in theii
boats; for the first use of poisoned
gas; the poisoning of wells; that hi
has not only permitted these thing!
to proceed, but was in many cases
personal assenter to and director
of them and that for such a man nj
retributive penalty, however severe
would be undeserved."

FIFTH LOAN EXPECTED
TO Be s5,0OO,OOO,OOQ

Washington, Dec. 5.-Retirement
of liberty bonds by the treasury has
begun. This was revealed in the an
nual report of the treasury depart
ment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1918.
"A, total of s25O.OOO,OOO of the
first, second and third bond issues
had. been bought back by the treas
ury on November 1. This does not
represent quite five per cent of each
issue which under the liberty loan
act the treasury is permitted to buy
back each year.
1t was indicated that after this
year the full five per cent of each
issue would be retired. This will
eliminate the piling up of great
sinking fund, reduce the interest
payments annually and permit the
retirement of all bonds on their ma
turity date, 20 years hence.
Secretary McAdoo estimates that
in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1919, public debt redemptions will
aggregate $685., 100000. The grand
total of expenditures for the year Il
estimated at s27,71S,12S,O0O, which
lis approximately $7.000.000.OoO
more than the estimated total re
lceipt. The recent treasury an
nouncement of fifth war loan
therefore, was accepted to NEAR
that the next loan. scheduled fol
early in April, 1919, would be fol
I$5, 900, 100000. This belief wa

duction in expenditures, Officials

Portland, Ore, Dec. 5.-The Red
Cross has held its last war fund
drive. The Christmas roll call cam

Cross effort.
These are facts brought out in a
telegram just received by Wilber e.
Conan, state chairman of the Christ
mas roll call drive, from H. p.
Davidson, chairman OF the war coun-
ell Of the American Red Cross.
That the Red Cross would make
no further war fund drives was a
surprise to Red Cross
leaders. but Mr.. Davidson telegraphs
that he makes the announcement af-
ter consultation with President VII
son. II Is probable, also, that there
will be no other war drives for any
organization whatever.
Despite the fact that no war fund
campaigns will be held, Red Cross
effort is to continue on tremendous
scale. 1t Is probable that notwith.
standing the enormous amount o.
work still to be done by the Red
