Democratic Ticket
Your Automobile

Can it be of service in the Fourth
Liberty Loan or will it be JOY riding
while Dorchester is endeayoring to
raise it's quota? Will your car be
one of the machines to help carry the

fully in the garage?
The campaign to raise $712,C0o

machines must be available.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. M. C. A. "Hut"
in Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there is a notion that Y. NJ. c. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket tesla
mentS. let it be diSSipated at once.
One preacher, serving in a hut in
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
He has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages of
laundry, umpireS basketball games, or
ganiZed q glee club, Stage-managed
circus, sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivver ten miles and
back three times week TO provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been a repository for
hundreds of heart secrets, and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at a
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was one that came his way on wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master of arms at the military station
entered the 'Y'' hut after taps, carry
ing a red box under his arm.
"Say," said the master Of arms,
"we've got a lot of t. N. T. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close to the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"
The Red Triangle man slept that
night Cor tried to Sleep with enough
high explosive under his cot to blow
him half way to heaven.

SUGAR IL to IS Gents a Pound.

In these days Of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost of livino. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP a day for laborers to 50 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
ing 10 cents or a haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were $3.50 to 81 a day,
and ice, which was considered a great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone of
contention in those days, too, and it
cost u to Is cents a pound.

5000 Tons OF Clothing

Send us five thousand tons of clo-
thing, cast-off, worn, out-grown, dis
carded clothing, is the cry which
comes across the sea from a nation
courageous, brave and enduring,
which is in rags. Clothing for the
old people, for the middle-aged, for
the young men and women, the chill
dren and even the babies, comes in
the appeal. Five thousand tons of
coats, dresses, shoes, hats, blankets,
baby clothes, etc., must be forthcom-
ing from the United States if Bel
GUM is to keep warm this winter.
Is there one among US who cannot
help? We pass down the streets of
America and we come in contact with
richly gowned women. Velours, vel
vets and silks vie with extravagant
furs to help our women display their
beauty. But you, who are so fcrtu-
nate, consider your sisters, who are
now living in poverty and despair,
with you as the only hope of their
salvation.
Should America fail Belgium, all
hope would be lost. But she will
not fail; she has never done it in the
past, and she certainly will not do it
in such a critical moment. For four
years she has been sending food and
clothing to the people whose king re-
fusing fatty tc let Prussians domi-
nate his nation, preferred to suffer
rather than to submit.
Cambridge and Dorchester must
supply part of the five thousand
tons of clothing needed by Belgium.

HUI JILL !. yaaD.llgLL,
Mrs. BiI!tops Really Doubtet!
Scales Accuracy.
Seemed a Singular Thing Until Ex'
PLANTATION Dawned on the Pair
Who Were Going Through the
Regular Program.

1--WE keep" said Mr.. Billtops, g;
record of Mrs. Billtop's weight. There
is a drug store in our neighborhood
which we pass in our daily walks
where they have a nice beam scale,
and about once in ten days or two
weeks we stop in there and weigh Mrs.
BilltopS; and then, when we get
home, l set the weight down in the
record.
THE greatest difference between any
two weights taken so far this year Is
two pounds; while the difference be-
tween the first weight and the one just
taken is only three-eighths of a pounc.
So you can see her weight is running
very true.
at might seem that all this was
rather a humdrum commonplace per.
Torrance to go through, but really
there's a good deal of variety to it.
"For instance, in winter, when she
is wearing a heavy cloak, We weigh
Mrs. Billtops with that cloak on. Thus
the first weight we get is the gross
weight, and then from that we have
to deduct the tare, this being the
weight of the cloak as previously as
certained at home, to arrive at the net,
which is what we set down in the rec
ord.
$50 you see it is not all quite so
simple as it seems; and this spring
when Mrs. Billtops put on for the first
time her lighter weight spring coat,
we ran into q regular incident.
"After weighing her, as usual, with
her coat on, we remembered that we
had forgotten to weigh this coat be-
fore starting out, but this was light
coat that could be easily removed and
handled, and so now Mrs. Billtops
removed her coat and we weighed her
with the coat off. But do you know,
she weighed precisely the same with
her coat off as she did with il on
Mrs. Billtops and I Looked at each
other in mild amazement; but then at
the same moment we both made the
same discovery. Still standing on the
scale Mrs. Billtops was holding the
coat she had just removed!
Il am not sure that Mrs. Billtops is
quite as much interested in all this
weighing business as l am, but we
both laughed at that; an6 really |
should say that taking everything to-
gether we get Let of fun out of weigh
ing Mrs. Billtops. New York Times.

more numerous than in any previous
season. Sheepmen are forcibly re-

LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskimos Said to Be Making Crafty
ing Progress as Result OF Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On Herschel island, where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer. the Eskimos had sun dance,
not always clothed In the garments of
propriety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back it's movements were direct
ed by an Invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in a future life, either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their
children and to the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools, If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
fish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and In winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but 1t is matter of
indifference to them. They will bar
ter for the white mans food, eat q
hearty meal of 1t, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents Of q deer's stomach they
consider a great delicacy.

The Germans have continued to

increasing opposition offered by the
hercicaIIy resisting British.
On the northern wing Of the Of
fcnsiye the enemy this morning
