BUYERS AND FIGHTERS

Americans In general must sooner
or later come to complete realiza-
this war with Germany. For despite
ton of what the country is facing in
the fact that we have perhaps a mil
lion and quarter men in France to-
day, the casualty lists are constantly
growing heavier, we haven't yet fully
reached that point
Americans are the slowcst folks in
all the world to take things seriously
Even our soldiers went across the
ocean in sort of holiday spirit They
ran to 1t like they were going to
a feast was the way General Man
gin described their dash against the
German lines in the last offensive.
And in the purchase OF Liberty
Bonds there are thousands and thou
sands Of otherwise very estimable
citizens who are content to let the
other fellow do it.
Unless these tardy ones come 10y
: ally to the front in the next loan
there will be striking disproportion
between the number Of fighters and
bond buyers.
For Uncle Sam is now planning an
army of 100000 to put the finishing
touches upon Prussianism and Kaiser
dom. Even this Is not an excessive
drain upon our man power Lloyd
George, in his latest speech, declared
that If America put into the field as
many men proportionate to her popu-
lation as England had done 1t would
mean an army of 100000 And in
the last loan there were less than IT,
100000 bond buyers.
The mark set for individual sub-
scriptions in the next loan is 25OOO,-
600. This win be only five bond buy
ers for every fighter And most of
these will be repeaters.
The stay-at-homes must be awak-
ened. They must be brought to a
sense of their duty. They must be
brought to the bond counters to do
their part.
The next bond campaign should see
nearer fifty million buyers than TWEEN
ty-fve million. There has been alto
gether too much Sinking of RESPONSE
bility.
And it is up to you, Mr.. Bond Buy
er, to help round up the hesitant ones.
Mighty few of tho ,anDot afford
to buy at least
Make 1t you IS to see that
they do.

TIE WREAT GROWERS DEBT

How much does the American wheat
grower owe to the United States
Navy?
OF course, he owes his share of APP
probation for the defense of his
country. He may owe the spreserva-
ton of his farm and home But that
is dealing in incalculables.
What actual money, countable and
beyond all doubt. does he owe at the
present time?
We rye always been n big wheat
exporting country. 1t is true thai we
could comfortably consume more Of
our wheat at home than we are do
ing now; but we never have consnm-
"a it all, or anything approaching all
Of it, at home. and there is no reason
10 believe that we could, especially
Il bumper crop like this years.
If our export of wheat were cut off.
the wheat grower would not be get
Ting 50 80 a bushel for his wheat He
probably would not be getting 81 so
And the boys of the United States
Navy and of that of Great Britain are
the people who have prevented the
cutting off of all possibility of ship
ping it across the seas.
The American farmer has trouble
igetting labor True, his expenses are
high True But he is going to make
big profit from his wheat crop this
year just the same, because it is a
ibig crop at a big price If he had no
lexport markets for that crop. IT is
doubtful if he could have broken even.
The IT, s. Navy is directly responsible
flor a large part of that profit Its
linen nearly froze in the North Sea
Hast winter for him. They are risk
ing their lives laying mines and pro-
itecting. ships from submarines in the
most dangerous spots of the seas
every day aud night for him this sum
.mer
Wouldn't it he p very decent thing
for every wheat grover to buy one
extra Liberty Bond in the Fourth
campaign with part of the profit the
oys of the U s. n have saved for
Him. and consider that some of the
money which goes to help equip them
and care for them comes from that
particular bond?

He KILLS THE TREES

Wherever the Hun has gone, there
he has left wanton, needless desola-
tion-towns and villages sacked and
burned, cathedrals destroyed, the un-
offending trees felled to earth in his
diabolic purpose to create a desert
where the labor of centuries had made
the lands to SMILE This is not war,
but the hellish instinct of barbaric
vandalisml
We have pledged our men, our
money and our resources to over
whelm this ruthless force that hates
all other progress than It's own. Come
forward, America, with your support
Enlist every dollar you can save and
spare to this supremely necessary end
No man has done his duty until he
has bought all the Liberty Bonds he
has the cash to pay for and all he car
pay for in installments in the six
months to come.

From Old Rims. sano ma


A conference, representative of mu-
nicipal and other local authorities in
the Midlands, was held at Birmingham
recently by arrangement with the ma
tonal war salvage council to consid-
er the question of the utilization Of
waste.
The lord mayor Of Birmingham. who
presided, stated that In Birmingham
900 tons of old tins were collected an
nuaily by the refuse disposal depart
ment, and that the recovered tin was
sold at $500 ton. The sum Of 1885,
900 was obtained from the sale of re-
covered waste paper. Food for poul-
try and pigs was made from material
from the corporation slaughter houses;
condemned FISH and meat were con-
verted into valuable manures; fat was
utilized for soapmaking.

Secret Of Book Of seve,..lo,


The number 666 used In the Bible
as symbolizing the beast is a constant
source of speculation as to what per-
sonage the mystic numeral indicates.
According to Prof. S. e. Slocum of the
University of Cincinnati, the key to
the riddle lies In the fact tla:t in the
case of the Greek form of the name
of Nero, written in Hebrew chas cters,
the letters Of the name have each a
numerical significance according Il
the number notation of the Hebrews,
and the sum of the numbers is Cc3.
The apostle in excoriating the en-
peror would have .ound 1t unsafe to
mention him outright, or In some OBJ
vious symbolism, such as in Latin or
Greek numbers, while using Hebrew
characters would be fair concealment
to Roman eyes. The other imagery
of the Book of Revelation works out
strikingly in accordance with the as
sumption that John was writing dis
creetly about the prosecuting Roman
emperor.

EVERY MAN MUST SPEED UP

Never so much as right now has
ii been so necessary for every work
man to put every ounce of his energy
into his job: to bring his productive
ability up to its highest mark. and to
keep 1t there.
Never has so much been demanded
of him. and never has he been so well
paid for what he does Nor has his
financial condition. generally speaking,
ever been better.
Never has his part in the national
welfare been greater.

work of his hands must in a great
measure come success in the winning

FAIR TO INTEREST ALL CLASSES

Trenton Fair, which will be held
this year September 80 to October A.
Is planned to not only interest the
countryman, but the city jewellers as
well. Not a few fairs are conducted
nainly with the Idea that they are to
attract those Interested directly In ag-
ricultural pursuits, and the attractions
they provide for others are of sec
ondary Importance. Trenton Fairs
program has been balanced to a sci
ence in this particular The open air
attractions in front of the grand stand
each day are sufficient In themselves
10 repay one for trip to Trenton.
The track events are unequalled at
any other Eastern fair. One would
have to be a confirmed pesslmist If a
trip along the Midway failed to make
him pack up his troubles.

So alarming has become the outloo!
for serious shortage of wool mex
year that the More Sheep More Woo
organization has arranged to hay,
three hundred breeding ewes on exhi
hilton and sale ct the Trenton Fair
which will be held September 80 to Oc
tober A.
The impossibility of obtaining suffi
Gent ships to bring the regular supply
Of wool from Australia is one Of tht
main factors bringing about the pres
ent condition of affairs. The ewes o.
exhibition at the Trenton Fair will bt
sold at reasonable prices. This should
prove big inlucement to farmer:
who are DESTROYS of obtaining goot
mating stock from reliable sources.

Disputed Questions Be-

Washington, Dec. 1S.-Declarine
that the widest diversity of opinion
exists regarding formation of a
league OF nations and on the dehni-
ton of freedom of the seas, Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, formerly
secretary of state, in an address to
the senate today, urged postpone
ment Of these questions until after
the peace conference.
Just before Senator Knox spoke
the foreign relations committee had
decided to delay action until Satur-
day on his resolution which would
record the senate in favor of such
postponment, and also call for the
Withdrawal OF American military
and naval forces from Europe and
abrogation of the presidents extra
ordinary war powers.
Chairman Hitchcock said later
that division of opinion in the COM
mittee on the resolution was not
confined to party lines. He would
not predict what action finally might
be taken.
The function of the peace con-
ference, Senator Knox declared in
the senate, is to settle issues with
the enemy. Revision of the marine
laws and league of nations. he said,
