HAD ATMOSPHERE OF HOME

1t was an amusing incident thai
first made the need of the hostess
house apparent in London. In 1917
certain American members of a Ca
madam unit had business with The
American ambassador, but could
come to him only on Sunday Mr..
Page suggested that they come to
tea at his house. Six of them ar
rived, and Mrs. Page poured tea in
the drawing room. 1t was very
CHEEKY and cordial, but somehow the
business hung over. They had to
meet another Sunday.
This time there were ten Ameri-
cans-and the business was not COM
pleted. Mr.. Page suggested a third
Sunday, and 20 Americans cane to
transact business for him on that
day.
During The following week he sug-
dested that the Americans in the
Canadian unit who still wished to
talk to him should come to his house
fourth Sunday and wind up affairs
with him, and on the fourth Sunday
the Page drawing room was packed
with soldiers.
The ambassador told his associates
about it, and one of them chaffed an
American who had gone there 20 tea.
"Ar,h9 esad doris are popular with you
Yanks!" he said.
ooh. the ambassadors all right"
conceded the American. "But we
1idn't attach much Importance to the
business. 1t Was Mrs. iage. She
served us tea around an honest-to-
goodness log fire, with tea wagon
and fixings. I. was great"
And there you are! Mindful of
those Sundays, Mr.. Page realized
that with the advent of American
forces in England substitute home
for them was an immediate necess-
ity; SO he was the moving spirit in

KEEP YOUR BONDS

Secretary McAdoo has telegraphed
A. R. Rogers, ninth district director
of the third Liberty loan, to make
appeal that Liberty Loan bonds be
not traded for merchandise or for
the securities of private corpora
tons.
1t has come to the attention of
the secretary of the treasury, so he
advises Mr.. Rogers, that in a num-
government bonds have been trad
ed for some very doubtful securi-
ties.
sBut aside from warning people
not to trade their government
bonds for securities of no doubtful
value wish to appeal to bond
holders in general not to trade their
bonds for anything, either for good
securities or for good merchandise,
says Mr.. McAdoo. 'sTo do so would
be to defeat in considerable meas
ure the purpose of the liberty loans.
81 am informed that many mer-
chants have advertised that they
would take liberty bonds of any Of
merchandise. do not think that
these merchants have intended to
interfere with the purpose of the
liberty loan in any way.
aBut we have sought to have
these bonds purchased for pernna-
nent investment out Of past or fu-
tire savings, such savings thereby
effecting conservation of both labor
and materials. To exchange these
bonds for merchandise or services
is to thwart the conservation fea-
ture of the Liberty Loan campaigns

POSTPONING THE QUARREL

A lady who lives in our neighbor-
hood hired small boy to do little
piece of work for her. He got a
friend to help him. When the work
was finished she gave the first boy a
quarter-the price agreed upon be-
forehand. Then a difficulty arose
about the division Of that quarter.
We overheard the conversation:
"I1l match you for the odd cent"
proposed the second boy.

a sport, "I'll match you for the whole
quarter!"

RESULTS OF GERAMN DRIVE

History students will remembe-
that the Franco German war was de-
cided by the battle of Sedan. By
forced marches the Germans sur
rounded the principal French army,
and compelled it's surrender. That
is the kind of thing they have been
working to do in their drives of the
past three months. But it is a diff
ferent proposition. In 1870 the en-
tire French army included but $780,
600 men. Now our allies have at
lie 2,60n,0n0 in France
The one chance in sight for any
sllch complete defeat lies in pushing
the English near Amiens, and back
ing them up against the Channel.
The fact that the Huns did not at
tack at this one point, where real
success might seem possible, would
indicate that they did not dare to.
It confirms the belief that at this
vital point the English and French
have fully adequate forces.
Driving the allies back 35 miles
where they have open country to fall
back on, makes no progress toward
surrounding them. The attacking
party loses more men, though it may
make up fort hat by capturing guns
and other supplies.
The only thing to worry about such
an advance is for fear they might
get hold of some important depot of
supplies. But it does not seem prob
able that our allies would have any
considerable portions Of their NUM-
tons near enough the line to be in
danger of caDture
Armchair critics blame the Eng
lish for not taking the offensive, and
doing to the Germans wha. is being
done to the English and French But
as the Germans, by reason of Rus
sia's detection. must outnumber the
English and French by 100000, this
would be hazardous gamble now.
No doub. there will he one or two
more big drives of the same kind this
summer. But by Seotember l the
American troops will nave made up
the losses of our allies The Hurs
will have had no means OF filling

''The Kuppenheimer House in Redwood Falls"

"The inadvisability of exchanging
government bonds for doubtful Sc
curities needs no argument. But
they should not be exchanged for
securities of any kind. Practically
all the substantial and representa-
tive investment houses have un-
selfishly aided in the Liberty Loan
campaigns and it is inconceivaole
that after the magnificent work Of
distributing government bonds any
effort Should be made to substitute

ASKS COOPERATION OF

Outlaws.

Expressing its own horror at Boil
shevism's rule of blood and ruin. the
United States government this week
sent suggestions to allied and neu-
trail nations, which. II accepted, Will
proclaim the Bolsheviki international
outlaws.
The government made 1t plain that
1t was acting in the interests OF the
mass of the Russian people who are
striving to reconstruct their nation
ON a basis Of self-government and
democracy.
Pointing to the unbridled rcign OF
mass terrorism, execution, imprison-
ments and lawlessness, Secretary OF
State Landings note declared: This
government feels that it cannot be
silent or refrain from expressing its
horror at this existing state of ter
rorism."
All civilized nations. 1t was suggest
ed, should register their abhorrence
of such barbarian" In order to put q
halt to the carnival of crime now rag
ing in Russia. And it asked the
diplomats to ascertain at once If the
governments were willing to act
apart from any atmosphere of bellig-
erency-"to impress upon the perpe-
traitors Of these crimes the aversion
with which civilization regards their
present wanton acts"

Port Huron, Mich, Jan. Is, 1918
Yale Expositor,
Yale, Michigan.
Gentlemen:-I want TO take this op-
pertunity of thanking you for the CO.
operation and assistance you have
given the Fuel Administration in pub
fishing warnings to the people regard
ing the shortage OF fuel, but with all
of our efforts we have not aroused a
certain amount of enthusiasm or pat
riotism in the rural districts to cope
with the situation, and am again ap-
pealing to you as the only means of
reaching the rural district, regarding
the absolute necessity of farmers as
sisting and relieving the suffering.
Up to the present time, it is safe to
say that st. Clair county has been more
fortunate in its fuel supply than any
other county in the state. 1t is quite
safe to say that Michigan has suffered
more than any other state on account
of it's extreme cold weather and lack
of fuel, but unless the people of St.
Clair county immediately realize the
serious situation we will be in the
same position as many other counties
where they have been forced to
the closing of municipal buildings,
schools and churches, and in some
cases families have had to destroy
their furniture and burn it in order to
keep from freezing to death.
Why should we wait until We reach
such q condition before conserving
what fuel we have, and this letter is
for the purpose of making the last ap.
peal to the farmers to not only use
what wood they have on their premises
but to try and bring some of it to the
cities and towns to be used, and save
what little fuel we have on hand. 1t
is common practice with the farmers
to come into the cities and haul coal
out for their heating purposes on the
farm. The farmer must Immediately
realize that when the cities fuel is
gone, they have no other resources or
methods of keeping warm, and / am
going to ask you gentlemen to assist
the writer and the Administration by
putting the situation in your own
words up to our most substantial citi-
zens-the farmers-in relieving the
condition. Yours truly,
K. l.. Powers, st. Clair County

Warning to Water Consumers.

All consumers of city water who
have been accustomed to allowing
water to run to prevent freezing Of
pipes are hereby warned to stop the
practice at once, otherwise tie full
penalty of Sec. 26 of the Light Il
Water ordinance (which provides for
an indefinite shutting off of the water
if the same is allowed to run for the
purpose mentioned above) will he i'm
posed upon all violators of said sec ion.
For the past two weeks it has been al
most impossible to maintain one-fourth
of the amount of water required for
adequate fire protection in the city,
and that condition is due solely to the
practice of allowing water 10 run TO
prevent freezing.
Also, it takes coal to pump the water
so wasted, and we must conserve on
our fuel, otherwise we may be forced
to close the plant entirely.
