STOP. LOOK, AND LOOSEN!

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 In no other field of endeavor to win the war haVf any more striking evidences of genius been displayed than in that the posters and slogans of the cam paign of the Third Liberty Bond It is with tht ticed the gain of these latest posters over those o the earlier issues, gains in directness' simplicity ah' every kind of charm. They have the power to arres and hold attention, instruct to persuade and t6 please in wonderful degree
 The same improvement is noticeable in the slo gans. They grip the mind, the heart and the vii with resistless power. There are many upon whlcl would be joy to comment, but there is one whic seems to us greatly to outrank the others in it humorous appeal to the finer instincts of sou It is an adaptation of the familiar sight at railroad crossings-"stop look, lisen!"
 Stop" How few of pause, in the mad scran be of life to consider the true significance Of th strange experience through which we are so swift passing.
 Look" If we look at all it is not upward, bu downward; not forward but backward; not within but without.
 We see all sights from pole to pole
 And nod and glace and hustle by;
 But never once possess our souls before we n de all most of us To get all we can and kee what we get is all but universal instinct.
 But time has come at last when stnglness Ina ha into it's true inheritance of utter contempt The who does not loosen his grip on his pocketboo in these days is nggard worthy of unabated SCOTT Not only is democracy, but civilization itself in danger Not only is all that ages of effort have achieved i peril but the agony of the world is such as to brea heart of stone. Measure if you can, the torture of body and soul inflicted on the human race by tn brutality of German lust for wealth and power! Bel gum France, Italy, Armenia-no thoughtful persol can speak these words without behoding vision horror that wiring his heart strings with unendu able pain
 The man. the woman the child who does no loosen up must be brute, indeed. Whoeve resist these piercing appeals to generosity mus be dead to that can be made to the best affection of the human heart for in the history of thf world has there been such awful suffering and sucl awful need
 Stop look and loosen Come down with tho cash Conquer your sefishness with mighty effor of your will. Give, give, give until you learn t. love to give. n

President Wilson's message to the Greek people attracted relatively little attention in this country. It is likely to be read with profound interest Greece because it carries clearly expressed pledge
 He promises that the fullest possible measure of assistance shall be rendered Greece, and that her integrity shall be preserved and her rights se- cured in any final negotiations peace that shall take place."
 This is something than a complimentary proffer of friendship and good will It engage ment to help Greece in the and to stand by the Greeks in the peace conference to There s not the slightest doubt that when the President ex- presses this determination the determination the American people he has interpreted their feelings cor recty.
 The Greeks have been obliged fight enemies on their border and enemies among their people They frustrated the schemes of their doubledealing King, drove him out of the country and took their stand with the Allies, notwithstanding the German successes and in defence of German power They have more than earned the support and friendship that is promised

THE PROMISE OF A BIG CROP

duction of 00000 900 bushels of wheat this year cannot be charged, by the suspicious, to the machinations of the grain traders There is tradition that they always overestimate the crop be. fore 1t is harvested, but with the prices fixed there can be no profits with which to pay for propaganda on either side of the market.
 Let the doubng take hope, then, and put their trust in the farmer. the weather and a provdential abstinence on the part of Hesson flies. It may do some good to believe for" good crop as the Saliva. ton Army would express it.

PROF. HELLER'S PLAN

In Kansas City the other day there came to public notice man of German birth blacksmith who had invested all of his savings amounting to S5.O0o, in Liberty Bonds. and had three sons in the service of the United States
 Undoubtedly this mans practical loyalty could be matched by thousands of other Americans of Ger man origin. The evidences of such fidelity are to be found Tn every direction by those who look them but still the impression remains that German ee- ment in the population is remiss in its duty to the country This feeling has been intensified by events fin Wisconsin which have brought the German element there under suspicion. though the head and front of Wisconsin's offending is La Toilette

a manner which believe, must have good effect. He calls upon persons of German. origin to affirm their loyalty rather than to sit back and let it be taken for granted. For this purpose he suggests the public taking of Herman Hagedorn's pledge:

INTERESTING TESTS SHOW
RELATIVE VALUE OF ROADS
Concrete In Pince of Dirt Roads Would
Save S:3T. 100000 In Truck
Operation.

Recent tests to determine tho rela-
tive value OF different roads show the
resistance to tractive effort offered by
unSurfaccd concrete to be thirty
pounds per ton. surfaced concrete fifty
pounds, gravel eiGhty-two pounds, and
dirt roads n!nety-nino pounds.
Using a threc-ton truck with a ca
pacity load and 4 speed OF twelve miles
an hour over uusurtaccd concrete as
standard. the truck will make 20 miles
per hour over surfaced concrete, 4.S
miles per hour over gravel, and 3.G
miles over dirt roads. This makes q
relative cost OF S.lG7, s.l9A. and s.20I
per ton-milc in the last three cases.
4 computation shows that II all roads
Travelled were gravel. as compared with
dirt, the annual saving in operating
Americas 100000 motor trucks would
amount TO s70,2o0,0o0; II concrete, as
compared with gravel. S167, 400 900. and
is concrete instead OF dirt, s23I 600. 600.
