EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE

The New York Times recently said editorially:
 "No man or woman who has ac- ouired a Liberty Bond is relieved from the duty of buying War Savings Stamps. To leave the Stamps plan of lending money to the government to those of narrow means and to the young people is to be careless of the cause of Aemrica and her allies.
 Does the average man or woman who earns a substantial salary or good wages have any idea of the sac rifces made by the small investors in War Savings Stamps to do their bit in the war? It is often story of silent heroism. If those in fairly easy circumstances emulated the very poor whose souls are filled with unyielding resolution to do their share to win the war, what boom there would be in the governments receipts from sales of War Savings Stamps"
 Now is the time for everyone, no matter what his station in life may be to make as great a sacrifice for his government and for humanity as is made by the most humble of our citi- zens. Everyone on or before June 28 should pledge himself to save to the utmost of his ability and to buy War Savings Stamps with his savings. There should be an equality of sacri- flee. s =

Would Have Pleased "oId Put"

The spirit of "Old Put" goes march ing on The doughty New England general of the Revolution unable to be present In this war. sends David F. Putnam, a direct descendant of Is- rael Putnam, who has just brought down his third German airplane witkin month on the French battle front. He. is the nineteen-year-old son of Frederick H. Putnam of Boston and Newton, In letter received by his mother he says:
 "We had been flying about ten min- utws when I looked back and saw two machines beading out of Ger many. Down on the nearer one I came, my gun throwing out spray of lead. But when had fired about 90 shots he got under me, and I shot by toward plane No. 2, leaving No. for my men behind me. No. 2 dived, but followed, always shooting. We had come down from 12,000 feet to 5000 in less than it takes to tell 1t, when suddenly the machine in front wavered and then plunged straight down. It was 'rumpler' biplane. Oh, I am proud"

ALL HAVE PET SUPERSTITION
Soldiers Hold Firmly to Beliefs Which Have to Do With Good and
 Bad Luck.

Among soldiers superstitions, of which the British soldier has his full share, one of the most characteristic Is connected with the number three.
 "The third time is never the same" is a proverb among the Irish troops. The third of anything is fatal" Is a common expression among the Eng fish country battalions. Soldiers have been known to refuse to take their third leave, feeling certain that it would be their last. A soldiers third wound is said to be the one which must be most carefully attended to. A development of this same superstition prohibits the lighting of three ciga- rettes with one match.
 Odd numbers, according to the Brit ish Tommy, are more likely to be un- lucky than even ones, and thirteen Is, no worse than nine. Friday as an un- lucky day has been dethroned, and there is no particular bad luck con nected with any day of the week, In Tommy's estimation. Sunday. how ever. Is pre-eminently a lucky day for battles.
 The lucky flower, by common con sent. is white heather. and a piece properly tucked away inside the hat band Is supposed to save the wearer from a fatal wound. Some regiments roCard certain decorations and medals as mlucky, not to the wearer, but to the regiment in general One very we'll known battalion objects strongly every time one of it's number receives rhe military cross.

4 QUESTION AND AN ANSWER.

Manyo f us in the great army of stay-at-homes chafe over our inaction during this war time and ask, "How can I help?" The editor of the Brook lyn Eagle gives thisa nswer:
 "Those who regard the sale of War Savings Stamps as side enterprise or as something that appeals mainly flo children totally miss the purpose behind a plan which is one of the hest thus far evolved for war pur- noses. In the last analysis the sell ing of these Stamps is the fitting of the whole nation to sustain the bur, den of the war. It is the application to war finance of the principle of uni versal service. It aims to enlist all of the American people in direct sup port of that gallant minority among them who have answered the call to arms and prepared themselves for the firing line.
 "The War Savings Stamps supply the final and conclusive answer to the question: "How can we all help?"

HANG ON TO LIBERTY BONDS
Timely Warning to Those Who May Be Tempted to Trade Them for
 UnWise investments.

Several million people who are not used to investing in stocks and bonds have of late become investors in the Liberty loan. The effect, we hear has not escaped the attention of va rious bands of thieves, says writer in the Saturday Evening Post
 The return upon an investment in government bOndS-fOur per cent seems small out in the country, where money loaned on good farm mortgages has been fetching six or seven or eight per cent. It is said some get-rich- quick artists are oiling up their old paraFhernalia and preparing to ac- cept Liberty bonds in exchange for engravings that promise far higher re- turns.
 In spite of the laws that many states have enacted, there is still op- portunity for the blue-sky swindler to clean up community and beat the sheriff to the state line. Look out for these gentry Remember that any investment which promises a very high return, along with absolute secur- ity, is quite sure to be a swindle. The shrewdest investors in the world can not find investments that yield more than six per cent interest and are practically free from risk.
 Never deal with strangers. If any investment that looks tempting is pre- sented to you, go to the bank and in qure about it. We hope millions of these new investors will keep their Liberty bonds indefinitely. They are convenient things to have. But if you do think of converting your Lib erty bond, beware of the wildcat. Do not keep bond round the house. where accident or theft may put you to much inconvenience or entail an outright loss. Take it to the bank for safekeeping.

What Is Storax?

Probably you never heard of storax which Is gum that is imported from Asia Minor. Makers of perfume es- teem it so highly that they have been paying $10 pound for 1t instead of 20 cents, which was the price before the war. Now 1t appears that a red gum tree, common In our Southern states, yields gum fully equal in quality to the imported storax. That is only one of a hundred ways in which the war is disclosing America resources.-Youth's Companion.

Four years ago last Friday Arch
duke Franz Ferdinand was assassin
ated in Serbia and short time after
ward Germany seized the opportunity
to bring about a long planned world
war. For long time she denied this,
setting up the claim of being forced
into war in self defense. Evidence
to the contrary has since piled noun
tain high and Of late Gelmany's plea
of "self defense" has fallen into a
state of innocuous desuetude. Last
week in speech before the reichstag
Won Kueklmann startled his hearers
by saying "The Hohenzolelm ambition
to rule the world by force of arms has
been shattered. In other words, he
admits that the German military ma
chine is weakening. Go to it Amer
leans. Press on and press hard until
the reptile militasism is beaten to the
dust. The time has come when De-
mocracy expects every man to do his
duty.

Last week the Chief published a
local item relating to musical lawn
party given by the Ellis and Bush
families. The occasion was so much
enjoyed by the entire neighborhood
as well as the immediate participants,
that we would suggest extending the
idea into sort of semi-organized
form of social assembly with member
ship and appointed places of meeting
at regular intervals.
We opine that Senator Norris has
an uphill race in seeking reelection.

Germany has said that America is
so busy making money; so busy in the
race for wealth, business, commerce,
pleasure; that the terms patriotism
and heroism have no meaning with
US. Germany has said several other
things equally foolish. With million
American soldiers over there and
more following; with every Amer
lean over here working heart and soul
to back that million and those who
follow it, Germany will discover pres
emily that saying a thing is so does
not make it so.

a week or more they have been going

vices seem to be both appreciated and

they cleared up sixty acres that af-
ternoon. The town farmers cannot
