IT is THE DUTY OF EVERYONE
TO SUPPORT OUR HOME MERCHANTS

Patriotism, like charity, should
begin at home.
Patriotism in its fullest sense
iOes not apply only to love for the
lars and Stripes and loyalty to
,le United States, but it menas that
+ou should also be loyal to your
.Ome town and to the community
in which you live and derive your
livelihood. Support the merchants
who have invested their capital in
tocks of merchandise for your ap-
proval, and by supporting these
spend every dollar you possibly
can with them. Of course if the
home merhant doesns handle the
particular article of merchandise
you desire, then order it from a
distant city-but first be sure that
you can't buy it at home.
Clayton is represented with near
ly every line of commercial activi-
ty. Her clothing stores are up
to-date and carry modern lines of
merchandise. Her grocery stores
are clean and complete. Her mar
kets are stocked with everything in
the line of food stuffs. Her hard
ware and furniture stores carry
everything necessary for the home
the store and the ranch. Every
store and business institution in
Clayton is up-to-date, and there is
no necessity for anyone living here
to patroniZe "mail-order' house.
Everytime you need an order for
merchandise out of town you take
a direct thrust at your home mer-
chant and your home community.
Home merchants pay taxes and
pay large sums for the upkeep and
development of hoh., II tory.
They have the best interest of
home people at heart, and demon
strate it every day by showing O
class of merchandise that is the
best the market affords. Home
Emerhants pay for the upkeep of
your schools, your churches, your
public institutions, your streets.
They make a fair and reasonable
they invariably make their prices
as low as they possibly can. Just
because an article of merchandise
is marked a few cents higher at
your home store than it is marked
in the mail-order catalogue you
have at home, is no reason that
your home merchant is trying to
hold you up Chances are the
article he is selling is of q better
grade, and its a sure thing that you
know just exactly what you are get
ting when you buy at home.
Make it your business to spend
your money with home merhants.
Indirectly you get the money back
and lisa cinch if you spend it
here in Clayton you'll have another
chance at it, for it stays right here
at home. When you send dollar
out, of town, its goodnight dol
lar"
Make your motto Buy at Home"
Be loyal and patriotic to Clayton
and to Clayton business interests.
Its duty you owe to Your home
town.

such people is: would you ask
Louis Brandeis suddenly to stop
Zionistic propaganda for patriotic
reasons ?"
American Jews have in our Tai
mud Torah and similar institutions
valuable agency for the great Amer
termination movement; but primar-
lily the Talmud Torah stands for
Hebrew culture, that Hebrew cul-
ture that has given the world it's
religion that Hebrew culture for
the perpetuation of which England
has made her recent glorious Declar
alton, and which Uncle Sam stands
ready to sponsor when we win the
war; that Hebrew culture, the key
note of which is democracy.
Do you wish to know why some
of our co-religionists are turning to
Christian Science? They read few
disconnected passages in the Eng
lish Bible without understanding
them. They think they are being
taught something new. AS matter
Of fact, they are hopelessly ignorant
of our Scriptures and our wonder
full past Our children here in the
Talmud Torah are being taught
daily to be one hundred per cent
American because they are being
taught that only the merit of good
behavior and scholarship counts.
Caste counts for nothing; material
wealth counts for nothing as far as
the children are concerned. We
want America not only to be the
torch-bearer of greater, finer de-
mocracy we want America to be the
torch-bearer of a finer and more
magnanimous humanity. This
would, indeed, be Americanization
worth while.

Cliff Swallows Revenge.

L. M. Hollingsworth tells a story of the way a cliff swallow treated a blue bird who had stolen its nest:
 "While making my home with grandmother, an uncle told me the following incident in the hfe of the
 cliff swallows. One spring, on re- turning to their old home under the caves, pair of the swallows found their nest already in possession of a pair of earlier blue birds. They tried in vain to drive them out. At last they called council of war in which the whole company joined. After reaching decision, they formed a constant line of swallows from the horse pond to the nest, each carrying little pellet of mud. Each one built his pellet into the mouth of the nest until they had the blue bird that held the nest walled up within it. The nest afterward became dislodged and fell with the carcass of the blue bird still within it. The bird had died in It's prison"

THE HUNS CULT TURF OF 'KULTUR' SHOWN IN WAY OFFICERS ARE TO
 USE THE DEATH DEALING CASES

During one of the present battles the French have captured a very i'm portant document in possession of one of the Hun prisoners. This docu- ment is a "course" for teaching of- ficers how to use and when to use gas in an attack The Germans have es- tablished a factory in the outskirts of Leverkussen where they are making 10000 gas shells per day. How to use gas shells and how to use bottled gases is the purpose of this textbook found on the person of recently cap tured Hun prisoner. Below I give a portion of this valuable docu ment):
 "At the beginning of the war gases which stupefy or irritate the organs of smell or the respiratory organs were not yet employed. It was only during the war of position that we proved 1t necessary to find 8 means for driving the enemy from his trenches without our suffering enor- nous losses. The experiments made with prussie acid and cyanide of po- tassium were not of nature to give decisive results. The attempts made with asphyxiating gases were equally unsuccessful
 "We therefore turned to irritating substances, which produce tears, at tack the mucous membranes and con- sequently cause violent coughs; and finally, by their action on the lungs, may bring death.
 1.-TWO sorts of gas attacks are dis tinguished: discharge from hose and bombardment by gas shells.
 The Poisonous Substances Used.
 "In the first instance we use vola- tile substances which are two or three times heavier than air namely chlorine and nitrogenous com pound, called "appoinH
 s"The metallic bottles which we use contain 20 l.i1ogram of chlorine under 1so atmospheres of pressure. Tney are about one meter long by zS cen timeter wide and are capable or re- sisting a pressure of 22O atmos- pheres.
 ''The metallic bottles are buried in the trenches one meter apart and are discharged within five minutes. A gas attack cannot be made at all times, but must take place when the wind blows from our lines toward the enemv,s trenches, without exceeding a speed of four Jmeters a second because otherwise. the cloud would not pc dense enough. The minimum Veloc- = rncessarv is two meters a second otherwise the stream would pc too

OF
 THE INVASION OF
 CANADA IN 1872

On July IF, 1872, just 106 years ago today, two important events LOOK place that marked the real beginning of the War of 1872 between Great Britain and the United States, the two nations fighting side by side today with never a thought of the past lit- tie family rows.
 On that date the frigate Constitu- ton sailed out of Boston harbor to begin her daring career Of the ocean, and on the same date Gen. William Hull, governor of Michigan, crossed the river at Detroit to begin, the in- vasion of Canada. Detroit was then village of 800, with a rude fort consisting of square enclosure of two acres. Hull's ill-advised and poorly managed action only served to show Sir Isaac Brock, the civil and military governor of Upper Can ada, where the first blow was to be struck. Brock was man of action and energy, and he at once sent to Amherstburg all the men available | and ordered the capture of Mack inaw. Hull, meantime, was doing l nothing. His invasion" of Canada was a miserable farce. A little over a month later Gen. Brock was bonn barding Detroit, and after a feeble attempt at defense, Hull sent up | flag of surrender.
 Sir Isaac Brock was a veteran of the Napolenoic wars and had served with distinction in many lands In 1910 he became civil governor, as well as military head, of Ontario, with headquarters at York, now Toronto After taking Hull and his army prisoners, he proceeded to Mi agara and personally led charge in 1 the battle of Queenstown, on Oct. 13 l the same year. In that action he was shot in the breast and killed. | Very different was the outcome of the sailing of the Constitution from Boston, with Capt. Hull in command. This Hull had nothing in common with his namesake who commanded the invasion of Canada. The Con- stitution had on board 450 green sailors, but they speedily had oppor- tunity to give a good account of themselves. Four days after leaving | Boston the Constitution - aferward called "Old Ironsides''-fell in with
 five British sailing ships, including the Guerriere. Hu1Is ski1lful hand ling of his vessel enabled him to es- cape the overpowering force. Then
 on Aug. 19 came the famous naval
 battle off the Banks of Newfound-
 land between the Constitution and
 the Guerriere. Capt. Dacres, of the
 latter vessel, fought long and valiantly
 as the. British always do, and was
 himself seriously wounded, but in the
 end had to surrender. That was the
 beginning of a long list of victories
 for the Constitution that has given
 her 8 place in United States history
 to that of Nelson's flagship Victory in the annals of the naval glories of England.

Mrs. Ira Nelson Morris of Chicago, wife of the American minister to Sweden, has been taking a rest in the United States. The reports furnished the American state department by her husband have kept the Washing ton government in close touch not only with inside conditions in 0Aany, but with the swift changes in Sire remark able Russian situation. Mrs. Morris has labored necessarily to alleviate suffering in Sweden and recently was publicly thanked by King Gustave for her help to the destitute.

as barrage fire The entire coun- try-side is infected If the air is too humid, or if it rains, these slightly volatile gases descend rapidly to earth without being injurious, but if the sun comes out afterwards to dry them, these substances do not become vol utilized until a few days later and then produce injurious effects. The 15 cm. bombs are three-fourths filled with irritant substances and only one fourth with explosives, the artillery effect being secondary.

short and too thick. Moreover, there should be no sun, because when the lower layer of air is too rarefied the earth gives off heat which causes the chlorine cloud to rise. On the other the clouds, since the gas combines with the rain drops.
 Advantage of Gas Attacks
 "The gas attacks are therefore most advantageously made during good weather, between eleven o'clock at four meters a second we obtain a sheet of gas of 1900 meters deep; with wind of two meters second, 8 depth of 6600 meters. The latter is perhaps the extreme limit which we can admit. In effect, if the cloud were narrower, the enemy would ea- silly make his way through the stream When an attack through a forest is to be made, a wind of two meters a second is most favorable, because the foliage Of the trees partly dissolves the upper part of the cloud. The density, although diminished by about one half, is still sufficiently great. Even when all conditions most favorable for a gas attack are found in combination it is not possible to make it at all dis tances but at most over a distance of four kilometers, because the cloud if nally combines with the air, is' diffus- ed and evaporates.
 Topography of the Country.
 .tThe configuration of the territory has no essential effect upon the ef- ficacy of the chlorine fog, which will spread as easily over hills as in the valleys and along little waterways, but not over territory that presents steep deelivities. When a gas attack was made over the Vistula, good results were obtained even over surface of 66 to 900 meters of water. However, when there is wide expanse of water, one condition should be fulfilled, that is, the water must be of the same tenn perature as the air, or colder. One peculiarity is to be noted: leaves and pine needles after the chlorine has passed take on a sombre autumn brown color The cloud will hang for a, very little while over wheat fields.
 When the bottles of chlorine are transported across branches of the trenches, the direction of the wind must first be carefully determined so that, in case a bottle should be bro ken, either through the explosion -of 0 bomb pierced by rifle ball, the men can still save themselves by 'get-
