Saturday, September 28th, was a
festal day at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert Cornell of Waverly, their
son Joe having attained his majority
on that day. Mrs. Cornell entertain
ed at dinner the following guests.
Miss S. +. Kay of Kalamazoo, Leonard
Kay of Comstock, Miss Alice, Kay of
Battle Creek, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Hood and family and Mr.. and Mrs.
Vernon. Kay of Paw Paw, Charles
Hackney and family of Kalamazoo
and Mr.. and Mrs. Jarvis Kay of Elk
hart, Indiana. To complete the days
festivities about sixty neighbors and
friends came in that evening. AS a
reminder of his twenty-frst birthday
gun, wrist watch, camera, $1,000 in
gold, military brushes, etc. He is an
exemplary young man and has the
best wishes of hosts of friends.
1t is a wonderful spirit of patri-
otism that prompts business concerns
of every kind and nature all over the
land to contribute liberal amounts of
advertising space to the success of
the Fourth Liberty Loan. A great
percentage of the space has been
contributed voluntarily. For instance
Swift and company of Chicago this
week devote space in magazines and
newspapers generally all for the sue
cess of the loan. Local business inter-
ests have been most liberal in the
amount of space used. The John Free
bank and the Paw Paw Savings bank
have each contributed one page to the
loan, and this week The Paw Paw
Grape Juice company and Miller
Brothers Pickle works have page
each. Last week, the farmer men,
bers of the township Liberty Loan
Committee paid for page of this
advertising in the True Northerner.
The amount of this space in the True
Northerner devoted to the success of
the Liberty Loan, has been limited
only bv the amount of space avail
able. Every live business interest is
not only willing, but deem it duty
to assist in giving this vital question
the amount Of publicity it merits. 1T
is this wonderful spirit of LOYALTY and
patriotism that puts Paw Paw, and
the county state and nation "Over the
Ton" on every war measure; and 1t
is this wonderful spirit of loyalty and
patriotism that will eventually win
the war.

How are all of you tonight? am
fine, but rather tired. Have worked
all day. We seldom get Sunday
off any more. 1t is steady grind
every day, but | suppose it has to be
done, but it doesn't look that way to
US back here. The boys at the front
are surely going through the Germans
now. They have them on the run and
have gained as much in the last three
or four weeks as the Germans have
since March and are still going. If
they keep going like they have today
for another ten days, they will be
able to throw shells in Berlin. But L
think there will be check for awhile
in fact there is bound to be, for they
are bound to make another big stand,
but it can't last long for they are get
ting weaker and doing down hill all
the while, and the hill is getting steep
err. General Per3hing says "It is He'll
Heaven or Hoboken by Christmas"
and the way things look now | think
he is gong to be right, and if so we
will be home within another year at
the most.
Well, Anna, kiss the babes for me
and write soon and often, for it sure
ly gets mighty lonesome over here at
times, but | hope it won't last many
more months. 1t is nearly time for

GIVE UNTIL 1T
DOESN'T HURT
Ry George Matthew Adams.

Those who give little, get little
There is no such thing as getting
without giving.
And the more YOU give, the more
YOU get, naturally.
This is why the world is under
going a spiritual regeneration. 1t
is learning anew 10 give. And IN
return it is getting back larger
vision, finer heart, and-soul.
But it is a mistake to give, as
has been sometimes suggested, ''un-
til it hurts" Giving to that extent
isn't logical
The logical thing is to give and
give and give, until 1t doesn t
hurt.
For so long as you fail in your
privilege to give those things and
TO that purpose which touches your
intelligent heart, just that long are
YOU bound 10 remain shrivelled and
ignorant to the great, inspiring i'm
pulses that are able TO sweep your
life up and on.
So give right up to that point
WntfE IL tDtsoH I AoAt A1ANSA eAAoAN ~
wont matter You will feel so good
that nothing can keep you from
giving forever afterwards
There are people in this world
who are what / might say, superla-
lively happy They are those who
have learned how to give and in
learning how to give have learned
what to give and just when to give.
The bows and noble women who
are lust now giving their very lives
for freedom are not to be pitied, but
envied.
For they are sensing the returns
of a service bound to quicken and
rebuild and satisfy And the least
that any Of Us can do from day
to dav Is to give until it doesn't
hurt.

AMERICAN SPIRIT
RELIED ON TO WIN.

In the light of succeeding events it
is interesting to recall the confidence
with which the United States Food
Administrator viewed the gloomy out
look in July of 1917, when this coun-
try had been in the war for less than
four months and the Germans were
steadily sending the western front
nearer and nearer to Paris.
Gwen though the situation in Eu-
rope may be gloomy today" he de-
clared in a public statement, "no
American who has knowledge Of the
results already obtaiSed in every di-
rection need have one atom OF fear
that democracy will not defend itself
in these United States"

THE FOOD ADMINISTRATION
STILL FORBIDS PROFITEERiNG.

Columbia-In order that no nlEs-
understanding may arise among licen-
sees with regard to the effect of the
armis4ice upon the regulations Of the
Food Administration, it is stated by
the Food Administration and made
perfectly clear that the regulations
are not annulled by the armistice.
Modifcations have been made but
of profit and regulations preventing
boarding have not been removed, and
there is no nresent intention on the
part of the Food Administration Of
dropping these restrictions, which will
be rigidly enforced.
The world needs at the present
time are for a larger amount of food
then before the signing of the armis-
tice brought the fighting to an end.
This comprehends food Of all kinds,
with the possible exception of wheat,
of which there is reported to be
plenty.
farm enterprise and much soft corn
increased pork supplies, food conser-
vation increased exports-total ship
ments doubled.

SUGAR LIMITATIONS OFF;
NO FURTHER RATIONING

Columbia.-The limitation of four
pounds of sugar per month per per-
son has been removed by the Food
Administration and the rule requiring
restaurants, hotels and public eating
places to limit their sugar consumption
to four pounds for each 80 meals
served, has been Tescinded by the
Food Administration. The sugar
shortage is over. The Food Admins
tration, however, expects that with
the removal Of the restrictions the
public will not exceed the normal re-
uirements, but will continue to use
sugar with discretion. Manufacturers
using sugar may likewise secure their
normal sugar requirements, without
the further use Of sugar certificates.

Columbia--With the declaration OF
tie armistice and the cessation Of the
fighting in Europe thare is danger that
we, IN America who have been af-
fected so lightly by the war, as COM
pared with the suffeTings Of the peo-
pie CT many European countries. may
think our duty done and decrease cur
efforts toward food conservation.
This must not happen, says the
Food Administration. The American
people have before them a greater
obligation than ever before. because
famine is threatening in many lands
which have been opened UP to the
allied world by the evacuation of the
enemy, and the millions of people, de-
pendent upon the outside world for
food until they can make a harvest,
are looking hopefully 20 America.
Hundreds of thousands of American
soldiers and their allied comrades
must continue to eat, although they
have ceased to fight.
The countries that are laying down
their arms are plunged into a state
Of great unrest. No factor is so con-
ducive to anarchy as is hunger.
What may happen IN Europe no one
knows, But to relieve the world hun
ger is the swest way to quickly re-
store the world to normal
For the present the Food Admsnae-
tration rs appealing to the American
people merely to exercise care and
Judgment in food buying and food
consumption. Later a definite pro-
gram of conservation of food For
word reFef Will be made public.
Herbert Hoover is now in Europe
looking into conditions. AS soon as
It is known what are the food require
ments, this program will be formu-
lated. and every housewife in the
land will be asked and expected to
participate.
The Government, through the Food
Administration, is asking the Ameri-
can people at the present time to
carefully use meats, fats, butter, lard
cheese and kindred commodities, and
20 await the Forthcoming food saving
program soon to be made public.

reached port across the seas. Others
are following. These have been dis
patched to avert famine and disaster.
Food ships must continue to cross t1e
seas from America until fields which
have been under fire or plowed with
the shells of mighty guns or which
have been battle grounds these past
four years can be titled again and
made to produce food where death, but
through death, victory, has been the
harvest.
The people of South Carolina will
be ready to do their share when the
Food Administration makes known
what is needed.

Columbia.-The Food Administra-
ton has been, since the United States
entered the world struggle for the pre-
serVation of human liberty war ne
cessity. Now that the war has been
SO gloriously ended the Food Admin
istration voices a humanitarian ap-
peal.
Food has played its big part in the
winning of the war. Food will play a
bigger part, perhaps, in the winning
of the world.
In the Immediate future, food must
save the world-and the food must
come from America.
q, Herbert Hoover is in Europe. He has
gone overseas to ascertain what are
the actual food needs of the hundreds
Of millions of people in the liberated
territories. When he has made his
Investigations an estimate Of the
amount of foodstuffs that will be re-
quired to feed these people who have
returned to the ways of peace to find
themselves practically helpless for the
present and until crop can be grown.
VIII be cabled back to America. The
Food Administration will then be able
10 announce food program to meet
this need.
It is already known that the need
viii be enormous, and that the food
program will require, on the part of
the American people, the most in
teasive conservation. The evacuation
Of territory by the enemy has increas-
ed rather than diminished the de-
mands upon America for food. The
amount of food that had already been
pledged to the allied countries will
9at be sufficient to meet the urgent
uead. Millions Of people are hungry.
& many lands famine threatens.
The Ameican people, who have suf-
fered little in this war, compared with
the sufferings of the people of many
European countries, would not be will
ing to see these people, who have been
fighting in common cause, liberated
only to perish for lack of the barest
necessities of life. That is not the
victory that they have suffered for
four years to attain. Out of their
plenty the American people will share
sAeir food with their cousins across
the seas.
s Pie Food Administration believes
that, because of the awakened public
conscience the food program to be an
sonced in the near future will not
enly pe voluntarily complied with by
the American people-including, of
course, the people of South Carolina
but that they will cheerfuliy comply
with it, and count it a privilege to
eat at common table with those
less fortunate who have been associat-
ed with them in the greatest OF all
human struggles.

relieve hunger and distress have
