A PERSONAL STATEMENT BY
JOHN WANAMAKER

the Fourth Liberty Loan From
the Two Wanamaker Stores
After consultation with my son, representatives
of certain banks and of the leaders of the two
Stores we decided that in the present crisis every ef
fort should be made to reach total of ten million
dollars from this business institution and family
for the Fourth Liberty Loan.
The effort thus far has resulted in raising
Sl2773OOO and there may be to come.
Asths sinvol>edt the cooperation of all our people,
numbering more than ten thousand, it is fair to them
and to the public to state Just how this amount was
subscribed.
Within an hour after the proposition made the
chiefs and executi>e ofeach assembled in
groups and quickly raised in the New York Store
$258OOOO and in the Philadelphia Store $22 22lSOOO.
Later the New York Store total was raised to
$3O45OOO by the employees and the Philadelphia
Store total S. 72SOOO and to these are added the
subscriptions made by the undersigned and his son.
SO that the record now stands:
Philadelphia executives and buyers $2,2lSOOO
Philadelphia employees rank and file. $4,000 0
New York executives and buyers. 2,58OOOO
New York rank and file ............ 465OOO
ROdman Wanamaker, New York subscrp-
ton 2,0OUOOO
Rodman Wanamaker Philadelphia sub
scripton n.......................... 100000
John Wanan,aker Philadelphia ...,:..... 3,5OOOOO
Total .Slz,|13OOO
We are all proud to stand up and say thatno sac
rhce we make is big enough to meet the supreme
sacrifices being made by our brave Americans and
allies in Europe.
Every member of our store family will be down on
our records making some sacrifice in the great
cause; and we are glad to make this public acknow
edgment of their unsefsh cooperation in support of
our country
The savings of lifetime in the businesses,
and so far possible Ihave put them the disposal
of the Government, just many of our people have
done with their savings.

LATE CABBAGE

Late cabbage is usually grown as a
crop following early potatoes, peas or
some other crop that leaves the
ground free for about one-half the
growing season. The plants may be
grown in the seed bed, it being necess-
airy to sow the seed some three or
four weeks before it is desired to set
them in position In the garden. 1t is
an excellent plan to follow early po-
tatoes with late cabbage, as none OF
the insects that affect early potatoes
are liable to modest the late cabbage,
and 1t is possible to set the plants
between the potato rows some two
or three weeks before the potatoes
are dug. In this manner sufficient
time is gained to permit the cabbage
to reach maturity before hard freezing
weather occurs in the fall.
The rows should be about 3 feet
apart and in the rows. Slight freezing
does not injure cabbage, but it should
not be subjected to repeated freezing
and thawing. Late cabbage can be
stored by taking up plants and pack
ing them closely together in trench,
placing a frame of boards or poles
around the trench, some supports
across the top, and covering the whole
with straw or corn fodder. The heads
may be removed as needed and the
rooth and stems left in position in the
trench. These will furnish an abun-
dant supply Of greens in early spring.

The Soldier

BY Marion Couthouy Smith Of The Vigilantes

He doesn't feel like hero-he is Just human boy
With modest pride in his uniform, and deep sustain
ing JOY.
He's not part of the conquering horde-a nhuman
plan;
He has not known the savage spur that finds the brute
in the man;
He's little shy and little knd-he rather breads kill
will!
He wouldn't be called CRUSADER; wouldn't pose
Knight;
But his soul has accolade Of the sacred sword
Right;
He's springing the defense of world whose
wounds sore.
And there's light his grave young eyes that was
there before.
Oh, mother of his, be glad Of him! Be proud Of his
willing heart
So ready to place his life at stake so eager to play his
part.
Be to him. and be brave to him; steady sigh
He is yours today the spirits hcisht-he yours
life or death.
Soldier ours, so out, then. will gallant soul and gay!

Setting the Pacifists at Work

The New York Times editorially points out the
inconsistency in the stand pacifists who, wnlle
they refuse to shoulder gun nevertheless see no
objection in building railroad over which the
gun can be transported.
Says the editorial:
BY clearly defining the sorts of toll which
this country now can demand and insist on get
ting from conscientious DIRECTORS" President
Wilson has taken action that will fairly well
reconcile the ordinary American to the existence
of those strange folk. Whether or not his decls-
ions will be equally pleasing to the strange 1oiK
themselves remains to be seen, but their opinions
on the subject are not of much Importance.
The first thing that will be noted by both
classes, probably, is that, of the tasks assigned
by the President to the man whose conscience
won't let him do any real fighting, not few IN
volve serious risk to limb and life. That will at
least free those thus favored from the rather
widespread suspicion that the sincerest OF their
objections are objections to getting hurt. AS for
the DIRECTORS who will be employed further from
the front than they would be in the medical serv-
ice, they will serve a double purpose-that OF
performing work necessary for the conduct of
war and of freeing for the liveler activities of
the firing lire men who are not too sensitive to
use rifle, or even DdyOHeC, vi ueScIVAS ACCPCiAIo
of such attentions.
What common people never will understand.
however, is how man whose conscience will not
permit him to assist in the actual destruction OF
his country's enemies can persuade that section
of his PSYCHE to let him participate in activ-
tiles that are just as essentially those of war as
is that of going over the top or of firing ma
chine gun at an advancing German regiment.
Consistency and conscientious objecting do not
seem to go together. The fully applicable paci-
fist would go to jail--or the gallows-before he
would help build railway over which soldiers
were to be transported toward the front, or even
before he would chop down spruce trees in an
Oregon forest if he knew that the resulting
lumber was to be used in making war airplanes.
