beat them all for phenomenal growth.
Our potash lakes are producing now
approximately one-half of all the
potash used in the United States.
when the Hun broke loose four
years ago and the great war came on,
we were getting practically all our
potash from Germany.
"Those lakes were worthless then,
but now they are producing potash
which sells for $500 q ton. More than
315,0O0,00o worth OF capital has al
ready been invested in the potash in
dustry in Nebraska, and new capital
is being put in all the time. Every
ton that is got cut just puts that

NOT TODISTRIBUTE
KITS IN j. S. CAMPS

Red Cross chapter workers through
out the country have been requested
to discontinue the direct distribution
to drafted men OF knitted articles
made from materials provided by the
Red Cross. The limited supply OF
yarn and the necessity Of preventing
Implications in the distribution of the
articles is responsible for the sugges-
tion. The yarn on hand, IL is pointed
out, is sufficient to provide for the re-
Quirements of the foreign relief and
military relief departments OF the Red
Cross. Representatives OF the latter
department attached TO all camps
and cantonments, will distribute the
knitted articles among the soldiers
from now on.
As a result OF an order, issued by
the general staff OF the army at the
request of General Pershing, barring
comfort kits from the personal bag
gage OF soldiers going overseas, the
Red Cross has decided to end its dis
tribution OF comfort kits to the men
in the training camps. Practically all
articles contained in the Red Cross
comfort kit can be obtained by the
men in the camps and cantonments in
the United States. The rapid move
ment Of troops to France and the lin
tied amount Of shipping space on
transports for the necessary equip
ment which the soldiers must carry
with them prompted General Pershing
to make the request. The War De-
partment has issued q definite list of
the personal articles each man may
take with him.
The Red Cross will. however, be
able to arrange for shipment overseas,
through the regular freight channels,
OF a large quantity OF comfort kits
for distribution through its foreign
1t has been decided to
make such shipments because it is
felt that under conditions existing
over there Red Cross kits provide ad-
ditional comfort for the men which is

>hole in US large enough to drive a
load OF hay through. We managed to
make port in France, but we were in
bad shape as there was eighteen feet
and we were listing heavily to the
.starboard side. We did not know at
what minute we would have to aban-
bon the old ship. We lost thirty-seven
men and twelve wounded.

PATRIOTIC INVESTMENTS.

Law and order underlie all invest
ments. If life and person are inse-
cure everything else is in danger.
That is the reason why the French
poet wrote the lines.
There Is only one future-that of our
country
There is only one foresight-our
country!
There is only one economy-our
country ~
No matter how many farm mort
cages you may have; no matter how
many skyscrapers you may own; no
matter how many fiat buildings you
may have for rent, or how many fac
tories you may be operating-every in
vestment you have rests on the SOW
ereignty of the United States of Amer
lea. The slightest danger that CON
fronts the United States acts as a de-
probation of every piece of property
you own. Your farm is valuable to
you because the United States of
America has enacted laws which in
1AAN Atul iAHuI 10 lut lee ana ute
OF your land. Anything that weak
ems the authority Of the United States
weakens your hold on your farm. Any
thing that cheapens the United States
of America In the eyes of nations
cheapens all the investments you
have. Anything that tends TO bring
the nation into subsection to foreign
powers, tends to bring your invest
ments to a position of danger.
Every shrewd investor-every wise
property owner-every sane working
man-knows that the safety of all
persons and of all property In the
United States rests on the safety of
the United States as a sovereign pow
er. If the United States Is lost, ev-
cry dollar of our invested capital is
deprecated or entirely wiped out.
We are engaged at the present time
in n desperate war. The issue is our
right TO remain free and independ-
emit" If the military tyrant of Eu-
rope beats us we must be his vassals
and his slaves. To whip him and re
tain our liberty and to insure our in
dependence. we must win a complete
victory over Germany. If we fail our
mortgages and flats are worthless.
The moral is: Invest In Liberty
Bonds and Win the War;

THE MEN WE NEED

"God, give us men A time like this

Strong minds, great hearts, true faith

Men whom the lust of Office does not

Men whom the spoils of Office cannot

Men who have honor; men who will
not lie;
Men who can stand before dem

Tall men, gun crowned, who live above

WOMEN AND THE
LIBERTY LOAN
BY MARION LUCE.

American women are protected from
the hardships of the trenches by the
courage of the American men. 1t will
never be necessary to recruit an
American Battalion of Death-but in
the other two branches of war serv-
ice women can and must take their
places.
Women are taking mems places In
the workshop, the office. even in the
fields. Wherever there is work to do,
American women will do IT, No other
nation has given its women so much
none other deserves so much from
them.
Women can invest in Liberty bonds.
Women can curtail waste and stimu-
late thrift, and invest in more Liberty
bonds.
When women save money TO invest
in Liberty bonds, they serve douhly,
for they release all the labor and the
materials that would have been used
In manufacturing the things they
didn't buy, at the same time aiding
their government in continuing Amer
ica's holy war.
