Reports are reaching the children's
bureau of the department OF labor from
the hundreds and thousands OF women
who during the last 60 days have been
weighing 100000 children of Amer
lea, and the way in which permanent
poverty menaces the healthy growth of
the children of the nation is being re-
vealed as result of the weighing and
measuring campaign.
Workers have been so much aroused
by the conditions revealed that they re-
quest information regarding follow-ur
work. Many of the families are de-
scribed as being pitifully poor. One
mother had q new baby wasting away
for want of milk. The mother was
told to drink one quart Of milk day
herself and to give one quart day to
each of her six children. Milk is 16
cents a quart, and the family income
S15 week. The women writing to
the children's bureau said they did
not know how to solve the problem.
The childrens bureau has been COM
PEELED to reply to such reports that
federal appropriations are available
only for the families of men, actually
in the military or naval service.
Nearly $4,000 negro soldiers are

gineer, artillery, signal corps, medical

technically trained in all branches of
scientific work.
There are now openings in the vet

Through the operation of repair
shops for clothing and other articles,
a considerable saving in reissue of new
equipment has been made at army
camps. One camp quartermaster esti-
mates the issue of new clothing has
decreased one-third, and of shoes 40
per cent.
At base repair shop for clothing
an average of 1881 garments were re-
paired daily during the first Is days of
May. In addition to the work done at
base repair shops, many thousands of
garments are repaired at camp shops,
one shop being located at each large
camp.
During April nearly 10000 pairs of
shoes were repaired III army repair
shops. At present practically all hat
repairing is done by contract, the
price varying from so to 80 cents per
hat.
This work is in charge of the conser-
walton and reclamation division of the
Quartermaster corps, which has been
in operation only during the last four

Next to the aggregate number of sub
scribers, perhaps the most striking fea-
ture of the third Liberty loan was the
support given it by the farming and
rural populations of the country, ac-
cording to a statement by the treasury
department. Not only did the farmers
purchase literally of the bonds, but
the rural communities as rule were
more prompt in completing their
quotas of the loan than the larger
cities. More than 10000 communities
in the United States subscribed or
oversubscribed their quotas, many Of
them on the first day Of the campaign

Don't Bury Your Bond.

When you and your neighbor have
bought your Liberty Bonds, don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
board. Take them to your country
banker and have him give you certiti-
Gates of deposit for the bonds. Your
banker can take these bonds to Fed
eral Reserve bank and borrow money
for your use in case you suddenly find
yourself in need of funds. Hiding
bond is as bad as boarding money. Keep
the bonds and the money in circula-
ton and the country will pull through
this crisis all right.

Fighting for Oppressed.

This is the spirit in which America
has entered the war. We are fighting
for the oppressed everywhere. And
we are equally determined that the in
justice and inequalities that exist in
our own government, the false stand
ards of worth, the materialism, the
luxury and waste shall be purged from
our midst. We shall seize this oppor-
tunity to finish up the cleaning of our
own household. To sustain our army
and navy in the struggle for such
cause, to uphold our president, to aid
our allies who have fought so long and
so bravely, these are worthy OF our
sacrifices. I am confident that the re-
Spouse of the American people to the
third Liberty loan will be generous.

(By WINSTON CHURCHILL, Who
Recently Returned From the War



Zone.)
Germany may be likened to a great
tree that has fallen across the path
OF democracy. The trunk is being
chopped through by two axes, the mill
tary ak and the propagandist ak.
If the trunk is to be severed ana
the obstruction removed neither ak
must be spared. Americans must con-
tribute willingly to help their allies,
to support their army and navy, which
will be the deciding military factor In
the struggle.
Our American president was the
first world statesman to make clear
that while a military victory is es-
sential, it is not in itself adequate.
The great significance of this war
lies not on the battle lines, but behind
them. 1t is war for human liberty,
and that which restricts human
liberty, not only in the German en-
pire, but also in America and England
and France and Italy and Russia
must be abolished. We are beginning
to perceive that the future progress
of democracy depends on national un-
selfishness and international co-opera-
ton scientifically conceived.
Issued World Proclamation.
In a series of mastery state papers
Mr.. Wilson has announced to the world
that America enters the war unselish-
ly, and has defined the true issue
for all the peoples of the earth-even
for those deluded portions Of the Ger
man population which, because of
false system of education, have hith-
erto upheld the hands Of the worst
enemies of liberty, the junkers. Until
quite recently, one of the most dis
quieting symptoms from the point OF
view of the allies was discomfort
with, if not an actual opposition to, the
war of large elements among the work
ing classes of the allied peoples. In
Russia, where democracy was most
cruelty suppressed, where conditions
for the peasant and the workingman
were hardest, q revolution actually
took place-a revolution that has
sounded the keynote of our times. The
world service which our president is
doing is that of enlisting the allie
glance Of those masses for the war.
He is convincing them that it is their
war. And these are they upon whom
the evils Of an Outword economic sys-
tenn have pressed hardest, and who
hitherto have seen little hope that vic
tory over the Germans meant their
own deliverance. Mr.. Wilson has Is
sued a world proclamation of emanci-
patton from economic slavery.
Make Their Own Treaties.
He not only declares that powerful
nations shall cease to exploit little ma
tions, but that powerful individuals
shall cease to exploit their fellow men.
He declares that henceforth no wars
shall be fought for domination, and
that to this end secret treaties shall
be abolished. The peoples through
their representatives shall make their
own treaties And just as national
democracy insures to the individual
the greatest amount of self-determina-
ton, of self-realization, world democ-
racy shall insure self-determination to
the Individual nations of the earth, in
order that each may be free to make
it's own contribution to world democ-
racV

Ronds Feed the Bows.

Every farmer knows how his boys
like to eat. Mothers fried chicken
and apple dumplings and pumpkin pies
haven't a chance in the world when
the boys sit down at table. Lots OF
farmers boys are in France and the
farmer doesn't want them to go hun
CRY over there. Liberty Bonds buy
food for them.
