attempt of German autocracy to sub

Resolved, that it is the duty of
every American citizen and all others
living in our midst who believe that
the world should be made decent
place to live in, use our best energies
to bring about a defeat of German
militarism, victory so complete and
conclusive that military ambition will
be forever silenced and a peace Sc
cured that will forever make an end
of war.
Resolved further, that L il such

an end is attained we urge that all
party politics be laid aside to the end
that all our efforts and energies and
all our money and resources may be
conserved and devoted to the benefit
of the men on the firing line and on

home, mother, wife, children and all
that was dear to them, and who stand
ready to give their lives and shield
with their bodies, us, who remain at
home.

advertise In Newspapers Urginq Peo.
pie to Cut Out" the Booze.
Springfield, Ohio.-Forty-seven OF
the leading manufacturers and bust
ness concerns of this industrial CEN
ter, many of them known throughout
the country, have bought a page in
the local newspapers in which they
declare that, Intoxicating liquor is an
important and contributing cause of
accidents and ineffciency." "Cut out
the BOOZE" is the advice and warning
OF these great business concerns.
The advertisement declares that
alcohol impairs every human faculty,
that it is responsible for 80 per cent
Of the insanity of the world, that in
Juries to the drinking man heal more
slowly and are more liable to infec-
ton. The advertisement asserts that
alcohol slows the sense of sight, con-
fuses judgment, hastens fatigue,
slows all physical movements and les
sens the resisting power of the body
to disease and exposure.
For the sake of your family, your
friends and your country, cut out
BOOZE" is the appeal made by these
industrial concerns.
A few years ago such an advertise
ment signed and paid for by such
firms would have caused a sensation,
but the trend of the times is so
strongly against the liquor traffic
these days that it has become a mat
ter of course that all citizens of all
classes should array themselves in op-
position to it.

The SHADOW BEFORE.

Remember that story which flashed
across the cables some weeks ago
about an American sentry having been
killed by a German night patrol?
Evidently they surprised and over
powered him. They might just as east
ly have taken him prisoner. But they
didn't.
They cut his throat from ear to ear!
Not pretty story; not story COM
mending the much vaunted German
kultur; not story calculated to in
spire confidence in the kaiser's close
ly following peace proposals.
But intensely Illuminating!
1t was notice, served in the German
way, of what our boys in khaki may
expect.
1t was an early intimation of what
the gore-maddened Hun may be ex-
pected to do if he ever puts his nailed
heel and his mailed fist upon Ameri-
can shores.
And In the usual Prussian way it
was done in the dark!
God help America if we fail to bring
every resource to bear in winning this
war
And God help you and yours if you
fail to do your part.
Buy Liberty Bond before 1t is too
late.
We MUST strafe the Hun.

Bakers and Others Must
Obey Food Orders.2

The local Food Administration
Committee received the following
telegram Saturday morning: All
licensed bakers may use rye flour
and meal as wheat flour substitutes
until March 31st instead of March 3,
Is formerly ordered. Those using
rye flour rs substitutes must procure
other substitutes on the list before
that date
This should enable absolute com
pliancc with twenty per cent subst-
tutc rule. Washington advises that
they are prepared to revoke the Ii
ccnse of any bakers openly disre-
garding Nicory Bread rule.
Bakers are requested to comply
absolutely with the weight rule in
bread. No rise in prices will be
permitted at the present time. Be
sure that your bread has the re-
quired per cent of substitutes.
There seems to be an impression
that at every change in rules this
committee will send a communica
ton to each person concerned, but
this is an error. The Committee
would be very glad to dothis, but
you must remember that we cannot
get time to do all this. The press
has been very kind to the Food
Committee in giving publicity to all
matters pertaining to this work.
Any communication over the sig
nature of the officers of the Com
mittee can be regarded as official,
and as there is no place in the coun-
ty not reached by the papers, it is
not necessary to send notices to
everyone. Any one interested must
watch the papers for these items.
We are sorry to say that some
have not been as patriotic as they
should have been on the flour sub
stitutes. Returns to the committee
snow that quite lew have pur-
chased more flour than they should
have, and such purchases are con-
sidcrcd under the law as boarding.
This committee requires all dealers
to keep a record of all flour and
sugar sold, so if you are found gull
ty do not blame your dealer, as we.
require his report. All cases brought
to our attention will be looked after
but we must have evidence before
we can proceed.
To all we admonish you to be
careful of the purchase of flour and
sugar and do your patriotic duty
by helping this committee in carry
ing out the provisions of the law.

istration Committee.

Welfare Of Federal En-
ployees in Washing
ton.

Washington, D, e., Mar. A.
The federal government is not On
ly giving close attention to the
matter of the proper housing OF
its new appointees in Washing
ton, but the general welfare of
the employees is now considered
in greater measure than ever be-
fore. Many of the young people
who have come to Washington
for war work are hundreds, eveC
thousands, of miles from home
for the first time in their lives.
They are strangers in a strange
land, and it is not to be wondered
at that they become homesick and
magnify the troubles that they
are bound to meet during the per-
iod of adjustment to new condi-
tions. The department heads re-
alize that a good clerk must be a
contented one, and many Office
have appointed welfare workers
whose business it is to take an un-
obtrusive interest in the affairs
of the employees and to try to
help them with their diffic Glties.
Experiments along this line have
had such good results that the
number of offices which employ
welfare workers is increasing.
Since the war began about 25,-
O0O employees have been added
to the civil service in Washing
ton, D. c. The United States
Civil Service Commission, whose
duty 1t is to recruit this branch
of the service, estimates that this
calendar year will add another
10000. Stenographers are beng
appointed in great numbers.
There is also need for clerks,
both men and women, who are
trained in certain special or tech
nical lines, ship craftsmen, me-
chanical craftsmen, and work
men in trades connected with
The representa-
tives of the civil service commits

Ordinarily the Canadian duty
on tractors is 171 per cent,
on cattle 25 per cent. These du-
ties have been suspended for a
brief period, the need for in
creased production being given
as a reason, hut they will be a.
gain put into operation as soon
as possible. The report Of this
action says that the decision
was reached after lengthy con-
sideration by the Cabinet Coun-
ciI." But the Democrats did hot
accord a lengthy consideration to
the proposition to put cattle and
agricultural machinery on the
free list in tine present tariff law,
where they will remain until Re-
publicanS are given a chance to
revise the law.
