YOUR ATTENTION

In company with the leading merchants of Seward, this store has signed the new credit agree ment, limiting credits to thirty days or until the tenth of the following month.
 This action is made necessary on account of the tightening up of credits from Outside whole sale houses.
 We expect that all persons obtaining credit from this store will pay all bills promptly with in the prescribed thirty days, and unless this is done we shall be forced to refuse credit in or der to comply with our agree ment with local merchants.
 All outstanding bills are TOW due and unless they are liquid ated on or before the tenth of April, other arrangements will have to be made.
 We appreciate the generous patronage that has been extend ed us in the past and trust that we will be able to not only re- tain this business, but at the same time keep to the letter of our agreement with the other retailers of Seward.

village burying ground at the top Of
the cliffs.
A neat sign placed over the largest
of the three trench graves informs
visitors that the improvement was
made at the direction of the Cunard
Steamship Company, and that the
company has engaged Cork firm of
gardeners permanently to keep the
grass and trees trimmed and the
flowers watered.
The failure of the Town Council
to care for the graves made it neces-
sary for the Cunard Company to do
so. Some time ago The Associated
Press correspondent visited the spot
and was surprised to find grass a
foot high all over the cemetery. His
account of the incident led a high Of
fetal Of the Cunard Line to make an
inspection. He reported to his head
quarters in Liverpool, confirming the
account of the neglect of the graves.
The company acted at once and the
result is that, while two months ago
1t was almost impossible for the cas-
ual visitor to distinguish the Lusi-
tania graves from any others, they
now arrest immediate attention.
The earth around the graves has
been banked up two feet above the
level Of the ground and carefully sod
died. Fifteen pine trees have been
planted about the edges, and a space
in the center is adorned with beds of
hardy flowers. A gardener from Cork
makes a weekly visit to the graves.
After the war it is proposed to
build a monument on the site. This
is to be done by the steamship com
|pany in cooperation with the British
government and a plot of ground has
beer reserved for this purpose.

lature at it's next sitting, | am taking
this method to put my platform be-
fore the people. I have nothing to
hide, nor am representing any clique

you would like to know, where I
stand, do not hesitate to ask.
First: l shall stand for State
Farm Loan law, which will give our
Florida farmers some money to ope-
rate their farms with, at rate OF
interest that will allow them to use
the money to an advantage. This can
be done on a plan somewhat similar
to the Federal Farm Loan Act, but on
a much simpler method, cutting out
the red tape and fixing it so farmer
can get the money within sixty days
after application has been made.
Secondly: l shall advocate and sup
port a state insurance law, which will
operate to keep the hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars of insurance money
at home, instead of sending this
money out Of the State. I shall also
support measure, in this connection,
compelling every life insurance COM

THE THIRD CALL
miami Herald)

BY the end of this week the nation,
wide drive for raising the third Liber.
ty Loan of three billion dollars, will
be commenced and will be pushed un-
til the amount asked for by the gov
eminent is raised and over-sub-
scribed.
This call brings closer to us the
fact that was stated, over and over
again, at the beginning of our war,
that the people would be called upon,
time and time again, to furnish the
money with which to prosecute the
greatest war of all history. It was
said then, and said often, that the
people would have to give and give
till 1t would hurt, until we would be
able to conquer an honorable and
lasting and satisfactory peace.
But with each recurrent call for
money, whether from the government
or from the various activities connect
ed with war work, the people are find,
ing it easier to raise the money, find
ing it easier to give, andfSe probable
tiles are that this third loan will be
forthcoming more promptly and with
a greater overflow than either of the
preceding ones.
One reason will be, perhaps, that
the argument has been exhaustiyeI.

country is at war, what the necessity

ism and what it takes to carry it on,

that every person in the country mus.
do his share, however small.
But even with this third loan al,
three OF which aggregate something
like nine billion dollars, we have NOT
begun to scratch at the surface of the
resources of the people of this coun-
try. 1t is estimated that the wealth
OF the United States aggregates two
hundred and fifty billion dollars. and
we have not as yet, with the third loan
included, pledged five per cent of It.
1t is also estimated that the annual
income of the people of the United

The patriotism of some people is
based solely on the fact that they are
fearful now that the government will
punish their seditious speech or ac-
ton. We have in our possession
statements made in black and white
during the past year that would send
the man making them to the peniten-
tiary for long term If made now.
People like this have not changed in
heart, however much they may have
changed in expression. They are
just as disloyal now as ever, only a
little more careful, and they should
be closely watched.
