The clock go back to the old sched-
ule on the night of October 9th. 1t
means an hour more sleep that night
which is something to anticipate. Much
wit and sound thought has been ex-
pended upon the problem of turning the
clock back. One man asks if we stop
all the clocks in the house for an hour,
how are we to know when the hour is
up? There is real sense, however, in
the warning not to turn the hands of the
clock backward, rather turn them ahead
eleven hours.
"A number of our exchanges have
been specializing on what would happen
if the government took over the news
papers. Well, the first thing the sub
scription price would be raised about so
per cent and the sheriff would be kept
busy chasing delinquents. The next step
would be to raise wages about Is per
cent, and editors, who hadn't had cent
in six months they could call their own,
would be placed on salary. The mer-
chants who fail to get their ad copy in
until press day would be hauled up be-
fore the council of defense and our limo
type man who hired out for two weeks
and quit his job in a week would be sent
to Leavenworth for about ten years as

facts and figures officially made I'D by

Your one hundred dollar Liberty

TO $91.63. The change is 1897 and
that is just enough to give him his

This war IS now in its fifth year
has been running on about 800 DAYS.
The nineteen and half days board
left for the hoy ont of your hundred
dollar Liberty Bond wouldn't amount
TO much if the fighting should go or
a few years more That SOL .63 outfit
would be pretty well used up AT the
end of few months of campaign
ing.
Your hundred dollar war bond shows
the best possible disposition on your
part, but unless you buy more than
one, somebody else has to put up
money to keep your boys hungry stom-
ach lined with bacon and fighting
food
That illustrates in n simple way the
urgent necessity for liberallty in buy

you gave the government on the
first, second and third loans has been
used up long ago. Your boy is 'oyer
