Have You Heard These?

!. Americans - apparently loyal - tell us
that we should keep soldiers at home and not
subject them to danger on European battle fields.
This statement had it's inception in German
sources; it's authors we'll knew that if we did not
fight in France, we would be made to fight in
our country.
2. A German has been circulating the report
to his customers that soldiers at the canton
ments must buy their food or starve to death.
This was reported to the Government and the
German has been interned, but the rumor will
doubtless go on.
g. 1t is said that the Government is about to
take any surplus food found in houses. Food Adj
mnstrator Hoover states that this is not so.
Furthermore, the Government has no such power.
A. 1.-THE Government proposes to confiscate
money deposited in banks This statement has
been persistently circulated over the country.
Secretary McAdoo says: These absurd and vic
ious rumors are wholly without foundation
s. There is much talk of this being rich
mans war This accusation is absolutely false.
The rich are paying more for the war than any
other class of citizens. The laboring men en-
ployed as never before and are receiving the high
est wages in history.
6. In order to brighten mothers and fathers of
our soldiers, exaggerated statements have been
made as to the very large percentage of casualties
in the armies. AS matter of fact, the actual Of
fcial figures for casualties in the entire French
army for the twelve months of 1916 are 2.75%o.
This includes prisoners, who, of course not all
killed

have a right not only to be proud
of their men, but they also have the
right to despise and call to account
the men or the women who, by their
utterances, their deeds, or their pa
thy, discredit the cause for which
these men are placing their lives in
jeopardy, obstruct or hinder in any
way the work which these men have
set themselves to do, or the prepara-
ton, equipment, care, and safeguard
ing of the men for and in this great
work.
Wauseon has been honored during
the past week by the presence of a
few of the men in uniform:
Ralph Campbell of Camp Sheridan
arrived in Wauseon last Wednesday;
for reasons that are chronicled in
another column of this issue, his
many friends in Wauseon saw very
little of him. Suffice it to say here,
that when Ralph returned to Mont
gomery he took with him a partner
who had enlisted as a comrade for
life. Ralph has been promoted to
the rank of farrier in the 148th Am
bulance company.
It was good to meet and talk with
Private Paud Hayes of Camp Sher-
man, who came last Saturday and
stayed with US until Tuesday. We
doubt if there is a snapper, trimmer,
more alert and active soldier in the
service than Private Hayes.
Serg't Rob't Bissonnette's leave
was all too short to suit his friends
here in Wauseon. He returned to
his duty of training recruits to be
real soldiers at Camp Sherman last
Friday.
Serg't Otto Funkhouser was given
a three days extension of his leave
of absence and managed in the short
time at his disposal to arrange the
business affairs of The Harrison &
Funkhouser Brothers clothing store
on a good working basis, with Mr..
Clyde Petit as manager. He left for
Camp Sherman on Monday of this
week.
Tuesday of this week two more
men from Camp Sherman arrived for
a weeks furlough with the home
folks-Cliford Gibbs and Howard
Dolf. 1t goes without saying that
we were all glad to see them, but
none more so than their own fami-
lies.
Gail Dennis of Camp Sherman ar.
rived Tuesday on a weeks furlougI
to be spent with the home folks;
looking and feeling fine, of course.
Mrs. J. P. Hawkins of Oak Shade
received word this week that her son
Charles Kinsman, has arrived safely
in France.

can, though it may necessitate some
sacrifice, must buy these new Liberty
Bonds. Properly carried through,
these three great duties will prove
the overbalancing power in the win
ming of the war, beyond a doubt. The
growing of great crops and the con-
servation of food, and the buying of
Liberty Bonds quickly, mean enough
food for our soldiers and our allies,
and enough ships to carry it.
If we fail in this the die of destiny
is quite likely to fall with it's skull
and-crossbones upward for US. If we
do not fail, then Democracy and Lib
erty will come out of the crucible
covered with glory. The result is in

WHAT YOUR BOND PUR-
CHASE WILL ACCOMPLISH

The following figures give one a
definite idea of what his or her loan
to the government by the purchase
of Liberty bonds will accomplish
when used by the War department.:
One $50 bond will buy trench
knives for a rifle company, or % hand
-grenades, or IA rifle grenades, or 81
cases of surgical instruments for en-
listed mems belts, or 10 cases of sur-
gical instruments for officers belts.
A 500 bond will clothe a soldier,
or feed a soldier for eight months,
or purchase 5 rifles or 80 rifle gre
nades, or 43 hand grenades, or 25
pounds of ether, Or las hot water
bags, or 1000 surgical needles.
A 500 and a $50 bond will clothe
and equip an infantry soldier for
service overseas, or feed a soldier
for a year.
Two $10O bonds will purchase a
horse or mule for cavalry, artillery,
or other service.
Three 500 bonds will clothe a SOL
der and feed him for one year in
France, or buy a motorcycle for a
machine gun company.
Four 500 bonds will buy an x
ray outfit.
One $500 bond will supply bicy-
cles for the headquarters company

CARRIER PIGEONS
FOR PERSHING

Paris Island, S. C.-In response to
General Pershing's recent call for s.
coo carrier pigeons, U. S. Marines
here who have aided the government
in nearly every conceivable manner
heretofore, again have come to bat
with a pigeon raising campaign.
The carrier is an Invaluable little
weapon in the war, but is far too
scarce for the immediate needs. So
the Marines have begun the training
of them on the island, having secured
800 of the birds from the homes of
various members of the Marine
corps. Starting with short flights on
the island and increasing the distance
to neighboring towns, plans are now
being made for trial flights from
Washington, D. c., to this camp.
Meanwhile, although several have
been lost in training, the carriers are
rapidly increasing in numbers, and
the Marines are hoping to be able to
fill General Pershing's order by them
selves, and in addition, sending the
pigeons across the water already
trained in their line of duty.

Some Good Advice

"Don't think too much of your
own methods. Watch other peoples
ways and learn from Them. This is
good advice, especially when bilious
or constipated. You will find many
people who use Chamberlain's Tab
lets for these ailments with the best
results, and will do well to follow
their example.

Nature Cures, the Doctor Takes the
Fec

There is an old saying that "Na-
ture cures, the doctor takes the fee,"
but everyone knows you can help
Nature very much and thereby en-
able it to effect a cure in much less
time than is usually required. This
is particularly true of colds. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy relieves the
lungs, liquifes the tough mucus and
aids in its expectoration, allays the
cough and aids Nature in restoring
the system to a healthy condition.
