Your Share In the War.

The first year of Americas part
in the war has cost us s9,0O0,000,-
600. To ascertain the per capita
cost divide $4,000, 100000 by 90
100000. The answer is 800, so
your share is 500. You have NOT
had to pay out that sum directly as
your part, perhaps. If you are well
off and pay income tax, and con-
tribute to war projects you may feel
that you have spent several times
your part-but you will pay your
proportion and part of the proper
ton of your poorer neighbor. The
war will not be paid for outright.
1t will be paid by the usual meth
DDS Of modern financing If it
lasts two more years it will have
cost more than $4,000, 100000, for
war grows increasingly expensive as
it progresses.

THE TUG OF WAR.

1t is useless to look at the head
lines of the daily papers to-day OF
tomorrow and try to reach a decis-
ion as to whether Germany is win
ming or losing. 1t is necessary tc
wage the war with men and money
and ships, and again with money,
regardless of what happens this
spring upon the now active battle
fields. We must go on with the wa
at any cost until it is won. To 90
on with it promptly we must pro-
vide the financial means, and your
subscription to the Third Liberty
Loan, or to the War Savings Stamps
campaign, or to the Thrift Stamp
campaign is to that end urgently
and instantly needed. Bourbon
county has done her duty nobly in
the three Liberty Loan campaigns,
bue there is yet money needed for
different expenditures, and if there
is a man or woman in the city OF
county who is able to do so and who
has not yet taken a Liberty Bond
now is the time for him or her l.,
get busy and invest their money for
the benefit of the Government.

Society Too Busy.

The doings of the social world
this spring have been confined al
most entirely to war work, and dur
ing the past two weeks many of the
favorites in Paris society and in the
county have been enlisted in the Lib
erty Loan campaign. And they have
been working like bees in the Red
Cross rooms, too. Society has given
up its frills and furbelOwS, and has
been assisting in fine and noble
work. Men and women alike have
done great deal of visiting, but it
was for the purpose of soliciting pa
triotic investments, and their esti-
nation of the people went up or
down as a willingness for self-saI-
rifice and devotion to the cause was
shown, or indifference was the i'm
preston.
For one to assert at this time that
he is not interested or that it is a
bad time of the year to be asked for
money must have been embarras-
sing to the workers, but what must
it have been to the person himself
to be thus put on record that he re
fused to try to hold up his part OF
the war work to balance the lives Of
the soldiers at the front There were
very few OF that sort in this city Or
county, so far as we have heard, and
the campaign met with the most en-
thusiastic reception.
A number of Interesting and i'm
portant events that had been plan
ned for the week in which the Lib
erty Loan campaign was on were de-
ferred to some other time. More are
on the tapis, but they nearly all per-
that noblest of all worldwide
mercy institutions.

at variance with the biological law
that gives dominion to those that are
strong enough to take and grants
survival to those with the sharpest
teeth, the hardest claws and the
toughest skin. But we hold that
there is something more mighty
than might, more enduring than the
thirst for blood and dominion. And
because this is the fundamental OF
our faith, under the guidance of the
God of Peace we will defend it with
the last ounce of our treasure and
the last drop of our blood, and
prove that the God of our devotion IS
a mightier God than the Pagan deity
