New. York. Oct. Now that
the Fourth Liberty Loan is out OF

task for he American people 10

Campaign.
The total amount sought l. at
leas, Sl1O.500.O 900. and the quota
specified for Oklahoma is $1.tlS.-
500.
The total was fixed by the War
Department and approved by the
President. 1t will be administered
under Government directions for
the seven recognized war agencies in
this campaign. the The Young Mems
lChristian Association. National Cath
Ole War Council ,knights of Co

The amount is the largest ever
asked as a gift from any people i'll

a total it seems gigantic, but DIVIDE
II by the four million men who will
/ be under arms in our army and navy

or mother or friend of a soldier in
this great country who will say that
fife cents a day is too much to
spend on his church or his home ev-
er there and his library. his theater
and his club.
The President summed up the
whole appeal in a recent letter in
which he spoke of the work Of these
seven great agencies Is OF vital mil

the fact that their activities are
largely responsible for the mainten-
ance of the splendid morale OF Our

with approval the statement of one

Doings OF Betty Jane.

Beta Jane said today she was
going to write a story for the Junior
Palladium, and her ma said she
could If she knew anything to write
that was any sort of common sense.
So Betty Jane started to get
ready. She had fussy time of it.
She wanted q pen, some ink and
paper. She hunted the house over
for some paper suitable to her aes-
theitC tastes, but couldn't find any
except some gilt edged, perfnmed
paper belonging to her big sister.
Betty Jane didn't think it wrong to
fake sheet or two, as this was the
only kind that came anyway near
her fancy. So she took some Of
the paper. Her ma told her where
to find the pen and ink, but the
pen was old and rusty, and Rotry
Jane couldn't make it write. She
went to her bank, got out a penny
and ran down to the corner grocery
to buy brand new one. When she
got home she put the pen in the
holder and sat down to write.
She sat thing for a long time.
She didn't know how to commence.
Betty Jane worried and worried,
but she couldn't get away from the
old way daddy began his stories
when ne used to tell her bear sto-
ries when baby girl sitting ON his
knee. AS badly as she hated that
way and as earnestly as she tried
to think of some other way, her
mind wouldn't work on anything
else-any other good English form.
She gave it UP and commenced:
Once upon a time" and then
paused. She could go no farther.
Her thoughts wouldn't come. She
took another sheet of Sis's gilt

edged, perfumed paper, looked at
the edges, smelled OF it, and began
again:
"Once upon time Boy" and
then her brain went on another
strike, and failed to work. She got
another sheet, looked at the pen;
tipped up the bottle to see how
much ink there was in it, and .e-
gan again:
"Once upon a time a boy was

Betty Jane ives wild, and was about

sheet, resolved to try again:
Once upon time, she got no
farther. Her big sister came into
the room and stopped her. Sis dis
covered her box of paper, and how
Betty Jane was wasting it. Then
there was a row. Sis made Betty
Jane put the box of paper where
she found it, which Betty Jane
grumblingly did, flinging back at
her sister as she went out of the
room:
You amt got any sense at all.
All You want of that paper is to
write to that freckled faced, brick
top Halford Brown silly stuff, and
he's too green to appreciate such
fine-smelling paper and "yum-yum"
words as you write. Just take your
old paper! I'll buy a carton OF
my own"
Betty Jane slammed the door and
went out to play with her pet pig,
and lived happily ever afterward.

THE MAN BEHIND THE HOE

(By Hal Pod)
We honor the man behind the gun
Who's fighting for us in France.
We know he'll lick the murderous
Hun
And make the Kaiser dance.
But there's another man We must
not forget,
Who's fighting the deadly foe
IT'S the man whose work will win
for us yet
The man behind the hoe.
No honors he'll win in this bloody
fight,
Well rever know his name.
He sweats and tolls from morn til
night;
Unto him be lasting fame.
So let's not forget the man on the
farm.
No battle scars can he show;
But he's there to stay til this war
is won
The man behind the hoe.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-05-18

there must be only one person in
the studio that can write a good
hand.
And why on earth does the vii
lain always wear patent leather
shoes? If he happens to be work
ing on the farm, roaming the wilds
of South America, digging gold in
Alaska or fighting in Europe, he
wears patent leather shoes. No
doubt when the time has come to
die he'll die and go to the internal
regions wearing patent leather
shoes.
Why do we see a twentieth Gen.
fury model automobile in one
scene and then after a period of
20 years is supposed to have
elapsed we see precisely the same
automobile.

The story is told of young man
who was seeking exemption and
claiming that he was deaf. The
doctor examined him carefully and.
after putting him to several tests,
finally commenced to believe that
the young man was telling the
truth. As a final test he put his
mouth close to the young mans
ear and yelled, do you hear me?"
The youth did not reply SO the
doctor repeated the test. but with
the same result. Satisfied now that
the boy was telling the truth he
said in very low tone of voice,
We'll, l don't see anything else to
do but exempt you from military
SERVICE
"Oh. thank you very much, doc
tor" said the lad.
Needless to state the young man
is a soldier now.
A bunch of rockies we're out on
their fist march at the training
camp and one of the boys, tall,
rawbonec farmer, took such long
strides that he was unable to keep
in step with the rest of the COM
pany. Several times the captain
in charge of the squad stopped the
company and tried to make the
farmer boy understand that he had
to take shorter steps. Finally the
captain became exasperated as his
repeated efforts failed to accom-
plish anything.

FARMERS BOARDING

The farmers have been keeping
their wheat. They think they will
get higher prices for it. They
should be ashamed of it, because
they are taking it out of the French
and British soldiers mouths. More
than that, they are taking it out of
their very own sons mouths. The
farmers are doing it to satisfy
their hungry wish for money. Far
mers have been known to let their
potatoes and vegetables spoil in
their cellars. Some feed them to
their stock.
The government has said that all
people will be made to sell their
grain. We are SO far behind in our
shipment to our allies. If then the
farmers will not sell the govern
ment will look them up and make
them sell 1t. We have got to send
wheat over there or our boys will
starve.-Mildred Mann.

German Propaganda

German sympathizers in the
United States have been spreading
propaganda among the people
wherever they can as In class, po-
litical and racial quarrels.
They Lave been discOuraging the
farmer to sell his wheat, telling
him he ought to have higher
price. The Germans have been
1Hying grains and letting them rot.
They also are trying to make us
kick about price fixing SO that We
will quarrel.
Popagandists are among the ne
groes telling them about the cruel
ties the white people are doing to
the negroes In the south. On the
other Aand they are telling the ne
groes how nice it would be under
the Kaiser and that they would be
equal to the whites. Also they are
trying to make the white people
lynch the negroes.
German agents are at work incit.
ing the l. w. w. and organizing
Leagues OF Conscientious Objectors,
while others are leading mobs to
tar and feather these.
Other agents of the Germans are
trying to weaken our faith in the
government by telling lies about
the government officers and Off
GERS in Washington. 1t is just the
same as a drive against MS. Their
aim in all Of this is to disunite US.
