practical strength of his indi-
vidual effort. This idea is al.
wrong. Each dollar does its
specific duty and does it now,
when every energy is needed
to stem this tide that is bend

to you, as red-blooded Ameri-

bought the shell that had blown
up a subTarine-or your rife

picked off a Prussian officer?
Cannot you imagine the graft
fication you would feel that it
was your shell that had blown a
German trench into kingdom
come?
Your bond will feed your son,
or some other patriotic Ameri-
cans son, for one whole year,
over there in shell-torn France

fed by Oscar l.. Moe of this city that
his home had been entered and a large
quantity of dress good and clothes
were stolen. Mr.. Moe gave his in

goods. Acting on this theory he went
to the 500 depot just before the mid
night train for Portal pulled out and
he found Mother" Hazlett sur
rounded by a group of faithful follow

When Chief Dougherty stepped up
and told her she was wanted at the
police station, she protested i%nnocense
and demanded that she be permitted
to walk to police headquarters. Her
request fell on deaf ears and she was
hoisted into the patrol wagon. She
spent the night in the city Jail. When
the police searched her purse they
found baggage checks. showing a
trunk had been checked to Portal
Officials at Portal were notified and
the trunk was returned Saturday
