The HUNS ARE
WITHIN OUR GATES
THE RED CROSS DRIVE SHOWS
UP THE TRAITORS IN
THIS CITY.

The Red Cross drive in this local
ity showed up several Huns. People
who are known to be worth consider
able money only gave from dollar
to five dollars. We became so dis
gusted when we were looking ovei
the lis: that we have decided to pub
lish the sane in our next issue 80
that the loyal Americans can see
who the Huns are that are within
our gates and treat them according
ly. In reading over the list you will
note that the working class or those
who nave practically nothing but a
nay envelope wers the most liberal
doners to this great cause. You will
also note in the list the names of
those who are well healed financially,
and are supposed to be good spend
ers and in fact quite cree with their
money, but these same ones only gave
a few dollars TO tie Red Cross.
What's the matter with these men,
YOU will say. Well tell. you what's
the matter with them. Their dis
loyal. and their whole carcass is
streak of yellow from ton to bottom.
This paper has no axe to grind and
if these Hun gentlemen (?) don't like
our attitude they are cordially invited
to come end tell US so, and thereby
eve us an opportunity to tell them to
their face what we, think of them as
we can't really prt it in print as it
might be called obscene.

LINTON RED CROSS

The past three weeks no local Red

cause we wished to give all possible
space to the Second War Fund drive;
however, other Red Cross work has
not been abandoned, as the following

gave s13 so, half the proceeds from
the dance at Busby's. The Priscilla

AMERICAN MERCHANTS TAKE
OVER. INTERESTS OF GER.
MAN FUR MEN.

Arrangements are being completed
by which the interests of German IL
men, amounting to several millions
of dollars, will be purchased by
American merchants and the money
thus paid turned into the Treasury.
Before the war broke in Europe,
according to statement issued by
the Alien Property Custodian, the
trade of AmeIi lean furriers was prac-
tically nothing but collecting and
shipping agency for the Germans.
Almost every pelt taken by Ameri-
can trappers went to Leipzig before
it could be sold. Although London
was the worlds market, three-quar-
ters of the fur shipped to London
from America, Russia and even Chi
ma, went to Leipzig for dressing anu
dyeing.
The Lipzig dressers and dyers
were recognized as the best in t'e
world. Each year after the fur was
prepared and German merchants had
fixed the price, Americans were al
lowed to puchase as much as three
fifths of the years output for man.
ufacture into garments, but in so do
ing they were forced to pay the or,
iginal cost, expense of dressing and
dying, big profit to the Germans.
and 80 per cent duty, before the
furs were returned to America.
The war deprived Germany of the
chance to purchase fur in London,
and limited the supply from America
now also entirely cut off. In New
York America dyeing houses are act
ually operating, and in st. Louis
sealskins have been dyed successful
ly. According to the Alien Property
Cutodian, when the readjustment is
completed and the German interests
have been taken over by Americans.
furs for European consumption will
be bought in the American market,
and will be American dressed and
dyed.
