WHY CHART LACKED DETAIL
Wife Found It Simply impossible to
Put Down All the Remarks
Hubby Had Made.

physician needed nurses medi-
sal chart, but had none at hand. The
mans wife was nursing him, so he
drew lines on sheet of paper to rep
resent a chart. He instructed the wife
how to fill it out and left.
Next day the physician called. looked
at the chart and was puzzled to find
so many remarks registered, far re-
moved from things medical-remarks
most irrelevant in fact. He asked an
explanation from the wife-and he got
it Wifey motioned the physician to
follow her into the adjoining room,
whispering to him that she did not
wish husband to hear the apology she
must make for him.
"You see, doctor, l couldn't put down
all the remarks he made, even If you
did want to know them. I'm awfully

many swear words about you, doctor

Your Bond Buys Explosives,

Many farmers here in America have
used giant powder or dynamite In
blasting out stumps and rocks and In
preparing a hillside for an orchard.
Explosives are dangerous to handle
and we all duck our heads and run
when the charge is to be set off, Over
In France today our sons are having
the stun hurled at them every minute
of the day and night with an occasion
al volley Of gas shells that choke and
strangle to death and they don't dare
run. With the boys looking death in
the face over there. we can do no more
than look the issue squarely in the
face here at home and buy Liberty
Bonds and see that they are provided
with ammunition to return the kaiser
Just as good as he Is sending across to
our trenches.

WHO FIGHTS AT HOME? SAY |!
(By ROLAND G. USHER, Of the Wig
Iantes)

We cannot fight war and still dc
business as usual. This means you
and not other people. You might as
we'll come to 1t first as last. The war
Is unusual and we shall have to have
unusual business to deal with 1t.
The gist Of 1t is this: The nation
has just so many hands and Just so
much energy-just so much raw mate
rial and labor. There are only "a
hours In the day and 1855 days in the
year. We can make only so many
things In a given time with a given
supply of time and material. If we
make some things we cannot make
others. If we put sugar into candy to
stuff Idle women we cannot have jam
to feed the soldiers. If we make au
tos for pleasure only, we cannot use
that material. labor and energy for
tanks and airplanes. If we burn the
gasoline on Sundays, the boys In
France cannot use it in battle.
The whole truth Is that we must
stop business as usual And-this Is
where you come in-you must stop
spending as usual. Do 1t now. Put
your money into guppowder and not
face powder into tanks and not limou-
Sines; into food for the trenches in
stead of spending 1t in hotels and res
taurants. But you cannot buy directly
for the army. The government must
do 1t. Give the government the money
and BUY n LIBERTY BOND.

What "kis Bit" Really Means.

AS first used in England, His Bit
was intended to convey the impression
OF his all" but the term "bit" as used
In this country rather minimizes the
task before us. Men think of one doing
his bit" In a sense of smallness rather
all. Let's find some new expression
stronger, more emphatic, more ALIEN
brncing, and yet not profane, which
conveys the thought that we must do
our utmost in this great world war

BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Democracy and Liberty Under
going the Supreme Test.
Americans Face Great Duties In Pro-
vidino Food Products and Aiding
Our Soldiers and Our Allies
In War.
(By HAPSBURG LIEBE Of the Vigi-
lantes.)

tOnAc8-J
Democracy and Liberty are not al
ways synonymous, perhaps, but they
mean the same to us now, certainly.
A military autocracy, after more than
forty years OF thorough and cunning
preparation, a great part Of 1t by means
or weapons of our own invention, has
thrust our Democracy and our Liberty
into the crucible to test it out, to see
whether it would hold good. They did
not believe 1t would hold good, those
Prussian militarists; they do not be-
lieve it yet. We believe it will, but our
belief has been made up heretofore
largely Of egotism and blindness.
Democracy and Liberty, the worlds
with our own, is now undergoing the
supreme test. OF course there is dross,
nnd 1t Is coming to the top rapidly.
There is inefficiency, mismanagement,
grave mistakes that even our national
leaders have made; there has been
some graft, no doubt; there has been
some playing Of politics there has
been profiteering, but all this is only
the dross floating to the top OF the
crucible. We were never a military
nation, you know The biggest of our
mistakes, think, was in our shipbuild-
Ing program, but we were never ship
building nation, either. However, this
'ross Is all being cleared away.
Fully 60 per cent of the winning of
this war depends upon US here at home
We have three great duties upon us
now as we never had them upon us
before-those of us who can grow food
products must grow more than ever !;
we must all aid in the saving of foods,
and especially wheat, meats, and
sugar; and all of us who can, though
1t may necessitate some sacrifice, must
buy these new Liberty bonds. Proper
~ carried through, these three great
duties will prove the overwhelming
power In the winning of the war, be-
yond doubt The growing of great
crops and the conservation of food,
and the buying of Liberty bonds, quick
~ mean enough food for our soldiers
and our allies, and enough ships to
carry It, II we fail in this the die OF
destiny is quite likely to fall with its
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. upward for us II
| we do not fail, then Democracy and
Liberty will come out of the crucible
covered with glory. The result Is
Inevitable.

We Are at War! Buy Bondsf

Do many farmers, far removed from
the war, realize the seriousness of
sur present predicament? The very
Iy In touch with the war makes the
danger more imminent. Russia Is
made up of farming population, proba-
bly, three-fourths of which knew very
little of what the war over there
meant. AS result the army was not
provisloned and money not kept in cir
cuIation and the military machine col
lapsed. Support our army by buying

 Il told him I would go ahead and see what l could do. l sure had game bunch in back of me, so we started forward. l spotted a ma chine gun shooting on our left flank. so l detailed one man with seven un- der him to go to the left while l start ed on the right with the others. It was in some woods and the machine gunner couldn't see us for we were crawling on all fours> We got with in fifty yards of him and we had 1t all planned out that when l fired the first shot everybody would fire There were five of them manning that gun and I picked up my Springfield rifle, took dead aim at the gunner and pulled the trigger. He gave yell. put both hands to his head and fell. At that moment the others opened up and we sure did clean out that nest.
 We again started forward. l spotted another one and we started for him, but he got me before l could get him. Our taking Hill 24o was re- ported in a French paper.

MISS ALICE Nj. HICKEY DIED IN
 POMFRET SUNDAY NIGHT
Was Employed In the Bugbee Store
 For 27 Years

Miss Alice Hickey, for 27 years a clerk in the store of B. D. Bugbee, died at the home of her sisters, Mrs. M. A. Eddington and Mrs. Albert Day, Sunday evening, following an illness of several months duration.
 Miss Hickey was born in Pomfret, one of family of nine children. She spent her childhood and school days in her native town Twenty seven years ago she accepted position in the store of B. D. Bugbee and remain ed in the store until she had to give up on account of i'll health. Miss Hickey was a faithful employe and her pleasant disposition, attractive appearance and friendly smile, cou- pied with her willingness and effort to please, endeared her to a host of patrons and large circle of friends and aeauaintances who have sadly missed her during her absence the past few months.
 Since she was taken ill Miss Hickey has been staying with her sisters in Pomfret at the home of Mrs. Edding- ton, and every comfort that loving kindness and willing hands could pro vide was furnished her, but the sum mons came and had to be obeyed. Miss Hickey was gentle and patient in her suffering. She was resigned and bowed to the will of Him who or dains human lives.
 The funeral service was held We'd nesday morning at Holy Trinity church, Pomfret, Rev. J. J. Elty eel ebrating the requiem high mass. There was large attendance of rela- tives and friends from Pomfret, Put nam, Providence, Worcester, Willi- mantle, Whitinsville and New Jersey. The bearers were William King, liar " Hickey, Andrew Murdock and Thomas Hanley The many and beau tiful floral tributes denoted the es- teem in which Miss Hickey was held. Interment was in the family lot in St. Marys cemetery, Putnam.
 The death of Miss Hickey is the first of the family of nine children. Two of the surviving sisters are sis ters in religion, Sister M Felicita of Providence and Sister M. Perpetua of Pawtucket.
