TENT MEETINGS

The tent meetings at the big tent
on Main street opened last night with
strong interest and good attend
ance. The singing was highly appre-
ciated by all. The congregation man.
ifested a deep interest in the sermon
for the evening. Evangelist Ora
Lee Ice spoke very effectually on the
subject "Has God Forsaken the
World?" After reviewing some of
the cruelties and momentous happen
ings of the present war. he showed
that the leading men of the nation
and of the world are raising the
question, "What do these things
mean?" Pastor Ice held up the Word
of God as the only solution to the
question. He showed very forcibly
that the Bible is the light and the
only book which sheds light on the
great question of today. The sub
ject for this evening "Ten Thousand
Signs of Christ's Coming" in Paw
Paw tonight. All are welcome.
Come and bring your bible and
friends.

some means of protection, and not
be urged to give to miscellaneous
funds that have no connection what
ever with any war activity. Every
loyal American citizen MUST give to
the war, and make whatever
sacrifice may be needed; but con-
to other activities are en-
tirely optional with the subscriber.
If there are enough people who be-
lieve we should have local Y. M. c.
A. now, and are willing and can sup
port it, let's have it. Otherwise, we
had better wait and concentrate every
effort on the main job. We have
made a pretty fair beginning. We
expect to win. We must win. No
man knows though how long it will
take, or how great will be the sacri-
flee of boys at the front, or of the
folks back home. Let us stick close
to the job then, and be strong at the
finish whenever that may be.

people Of this and every other county
are giving literally to all war activ-
tiles. They are willing to give and
continue giving just as long as it
may be necessary and to the limit to
back up the boys at the front, and
win the war. The war board of this
county raised a War Chest of $4,000
for Red Cross, Y. M. C. A. and other
kindred necessities. The solicitors
told the subscribers when such sub
would take care of all such county
activities for one year, and it is eX-
pected that such will be the case.
Following closely on the War Chest
drive however, and just prior to the
War Savings Stamp campaign solicit
tors canvassed the county asking for
Y. M. G.. A. subscriptions. The pur-
pose Of course was the organization
of county branch of this organiza-
ton; but many people subscribed,
thinking they were giving for the Y.
NJ. C. A. fund to be used for the com
fort of the boys at the front thus
discrediting the statement of the War
Chest solicitors that no more would
be asked for that purpose for a
period of one year.
If there are enough people in Van
Buren, county who can afford to sup
port county Y. M. c. A. and still
have plenty for all the various war
necessities, War Chest, Liberty Bonds
War Savings Stamps and all, then
let's have the Y. M. C. A. now; but
let the solicitors be Van Buren, coun-
ty men, with no assistance from a
stranger. Further, let the solicitors
explain fully to the people when such
funds are solicited, just what they
are for, and that such subscriptions
are in no way to be used for neces-
sary war activities. In other words,
do not take advantage of the liber-
atty of the citizens of this county
who are subscribing literally to all
the war funds.
Judge Anderson states that "The
War Board has no right to approve
or disapprove of any project" Tech
ncally that point is we'll taken. No
one would expect for a single moment
that the County War Board would
approve or disapprove of a county
Y. M. c. A. or pass on the merits of
any other project. To do so would
be entirely without the jurisdiction
of this organization. But the County
War Board would have a right and
it is one of its duties if we mistake
not, to endorse and assist in the rails
ing of any fund that is needed for
war purposes; 1t would have a right
from a standpoint of justice at least,
to take any measures deemed neces-
sary to protect the people of this
county who are raking, scrapirg,
saving and giving their all, some of
them, to do their part in this great
world struggle, against extortion of
any kind, or the unnecessary solicit
tation of money, that later may be
needed for war purposes. Likewise,
the people of Van Buren, county have
a right when approached by solicit
tor, and especially if he be and out
slider, and a stranger, to ask, eff the
project has the endorsement of the
county war board" In other words

JUDGE ANDERSON TAKES ISSUE
p p IS p p e 3 Is

JODUE ANDERSON AN ES Issue
On page five of this issue, is a
letter from Judge David Anderson.
chairman of the County War Board,
anent the editorial comments of The
True Northerner lest week suggest
ing the advisability of some means
of protection to the citizens of this
county against the miscellaneous and
unnecessary solicitation of funds in
times of war.
Mr.. Anderson extols the many vir-
tues of the Y. M. C. A. organization,
and on that point there is no argu-
ment. Every good citizen is a firm
believer in the Y. M. C. A. organiza-
ton and is cognizant of its immense
power for good in any community.
There is hardly a citizen in this coun-
ty, especially if he has boys, but who
would like to see a Y. NJ. G. A. or
ganization in this county, and would
be glad to contribute to its support.
There is no chance for argument then
on the main part of Judge Ander-
sons letter. The multitudinous COM
mandatory features of the Y. NJ. c..
A. enumerated by him are all con-
coded.
The main issue however, the one
which The True Northerner sought
to point out last week is this:-Is it
fair and just for any solicitor or
solicitors to go out and urge the
people of this county to subscribe
funds for any purpose whatsoever
unless such subscription is in some
manner either directly or indirectly
a necessary war activity. The good

JOIN THE
COUPON Clippers
You viii Get Money From Uncle
Sam Almost Every Month.

BY fixing the interest dates on the
Fourth Liberty Loan as April and
October 25 of each year, Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo has made 1t
possible for the new army Of Govern
ment bondholders to "clip coupon"
In eight of the twelve months OF the
year. Those subscribers who took the
registered form of bond instead OF the
coupon bond because of its greater
security will in the same way receive
an interest check from the govern
ment in eight months of the year, pro-
vlded, of course, that they have re-
tanned the bonds of the three preced-
ing loans which they bought.
On the first Liberty Loan the IN
terest dates are June and December
%: on the second Liberty Loan they
are May and November 10 = on the
third Liberty Loan, March and Sep
TENDER Is, and on the fourth Liberty
Loan, April and October 10.
Even If the purchaser of bond OF
the first Liberty Loan took advantage
of it's conversion privilege to secure
4 per cent interest on the second loan,
and again converted his bond to secure
Az per cent interest paid on the third
loan the interest dates on the CONVEX
sion bond which he received Tor MS
original bond remain the same.
The evident purpose of Secretary
McAdoo naming different interest
i dates on the four issues OF bonds was
to divide the physical work of paying
the interest and also to distribute the
payment of interest over the year In
stead of having payments concentrate
| ed in two months.
| On a S6,OOO,0O00OO loan the prob
| able amount Of the fourth loans the
annual interest payment at AN per
