NOTES.

The second Red Cross War
Fund campaign is closed, and
we look back on it with feeling,
that this campaign will be re-
membered as one of the most
gratifying Epochs, of the lives OF
its promoters.
There were several instances
in the campaign that demon
strate the Morale of the Ameri-
can People.
When the boy gave his two
marbles to be sold at the Mt.
Vernon sale, and the Livingston
boy subscribed four cents, this
being all he had, when young
man at Brindle Ridge church
gave his last twenty-five cents,
and a Mt. Vernen restaurant
man gave a twelve dollar hog at
the sale, and then went over his
allotment by giving fifty dollars
to the campaign fund. We
know that our people were in
this Work of Mercy, heart and
soul, and will stand back of our
BOYS IN KHAKI to the last
ditch.
The spirit of the Red Cross
will be put on at the Boone Way
theatre, Monday night June 3rd.
This is an official war picture ma
chine at the front in France and
will bring actual war and Red
Cross work to US on the screen.
it will be shown in connection

By an oversight the office
force of the Second Red Cross
War Fund campaign sent a
second letter to Mr.. j. w. Tate,
of Brodhead, who has payed his
allotment without a murmer.
Mr.. Tate has also bought Liberty
Bonds and Thrift Stamps. We
wish to apologize to him for this
mistake. but also wish to say
that had the Treasurer of the
Brodhead branch reported their
work promptly that information
would have enabled us to check
our list and avoided any such
mistakes.

lea. The day has been set aside by
President Wilson as Liberty Day, q
day of special exertion in the Lib

A response such as the day deserves
a response measured in an OutpOuring
of dollars, would go far toward open
ing the kaiser's eyes to America, het
spirit and her meaning in the pres
ent world war.
A tagging response. or no response
at all, would convince him that after
all he had nothing to discover about
America-that his Often-eXpressed
opinions about this country are true.
that our pocketbooks are not in the
war and that it is doubtful whether
our hearts are.

added to in as large a quantity a.
possible. The destruction of human
life and of property is proceeding
every day at an unprecedented
rate and, consequently, for the fu
ture security and welfare of the
nation it is imperative that every
| person shall work hard, practice
sensible thrift and economy, avoid
all extravaganza and waste and
systematically add to his savings ac-
| count
In war times, even more than in
/ peace, the foundation of the success
of Il nation depends far more upon
the savings of the people than upon
the wealth of the rich, and i'm this
connection it is more important To
remember that no one is too young
or too poor to cooperate and nothing
is too small to deserve attention. The
pennies and nickels of the children
are just as important in their way as
the dollars of the business men.
Everyone knows that the greatest
sums are merely the accumulation of
a multitude of small amounts and
therefore in these days not a single
penny should be spent thOughtlcssly.
1t is just as important to save mon
ey nowadays as it is to save food.
This does not, of course. mean that
money should be boarded or kept out
of the legitimate channels of busi-
ness, because the activity of bust
ness is the very life-bloOd of the ma
tion. Just as il would be foolish
for an individual to undermine his
health in order to save food, so il
would be unwise for anyone to avoid
the spending of money on necessary
articles. What is of great importance
is that before money is spent. careful
thought should be given to making
sure that the object for which it is
to be spent is one that does not mean
extravaganza or waste. In other
words. the situation can be summed
up thus. Work harder. earn more.
save more"
The man who does his duty in
these days is the man who deter
mines and carries out mis- determin-
nation, that so long as the government
does not call upon him to do anything
else he will stay at home. work hard
and conserve the full share towards
enabling his country to stand in the
front of the civilized nations who are
striving to the utmost of their power
to save the world from being thrust
back into the dark ages of cruelty
and barbariSm.

common sense in those few words
They mean that every patriotic
American must determine to devote
his full energy towards rendering
the government the greatest posi-

particular sphere he is best fitted -.

Ii may not seem a very romantic
proceeding for a man TO stay at his
desk or in his store or whereve- his
duties call him, day after day. and
keep on working steadily without ATTY
particular notice being taken Of hts
efforts He wears no uniform. he does
not have his picture in the newspa-
pers, he does not read every day what
a wonderful patriot he and his kind
are-all that he sees is perhaps a
rather mOnOtOnOuS outlook full of
unrOmantic sacrifices. And yet his
work is just as important a cOntTi-
button to victory as that of the bravest
soldier who ever faced the enemy's
guns.
Stay at home and work hard"
also carries with it something be-
yOnd the actual work itself 1t
means the careful conservation of
the results of hard work. that is to
say, it means practical economy
and thrift, the systematic saving OF
money and debOsiting it in the
bank so that the financial re
sources of the nation shall be kept
in the most liquid condition and
that each person shall have a stead
lily growing fund of ready cash so
as to be able to purchase Liberty |
bonds and other government secur-
tiles as needed.
