South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1918-03-14

Above the snow line water is a
solid. as naturally as iron is a solid
amid our customary surroundings.
We who live I'm the sO-called tenn
perate zone see the battle front of
the frost advance every winter with
out comprehending the ~stupendous
fact that behind it. in solid. un-
broken array, the ranks of the Zero
King stretch off TO the stars. When
the next summer comes the front
retreats 70 the snow line, but the
snow lire never goes backward!
We simply forget that it is there un-
til it's skirmishers advance again.
A true image of the situation Of
the earth and it's inhabitants would
not be furnished, as one is at first
sight tempted 10 think, by a low
island surrounded by the sea, which,
at every advance Of the tide, be-
comes partially inundated, while its
elevation is so slight hat an abnor-
NAL tide might bury it entirely; but
a true image is furnished by an opr1
fire in a chimney place, which alter
nately ,anguishes, allowing the all
surrounding chill TO advance from
the windows and he distant corners
Of the room, and then. through re
punishment of fuel. blazes up and
drives back the cold, reawakening
the cricket on the hearth.

LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN DIRECTOR
NAMED
? Presidents Subject To Manu-
facturers And Bankers

Chairman for three counties of
Delaware in connection with the
third Liberty Loan campaign have
been named. John S. Rossell, pres
ident of the Security Trust G. Safe
Deposit Co., has been appointed
chairman for New Castle county of
the third federal reserve district,
Liberty Loan committee by Secre
tary McAdoo, through Charles j..
Rhoads, governor of the Federal
Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Mr..
Rossell succeeds J. Chester Glib
son, cashier of the Union National
Bank. For Kent county, James H.
Hughes, of Dover, has been reap
pointed as chairman and for Sus-
sex, George H. Hall, of Milford.
Commenting upon the situation
at the present time, Mr.. Rossell has
addressed to bankers and manu-.
facturers a communication bearing
on the immediate and future re-
quirements of the Government anc
the duty of all who are able to sup
port the Government financially tt
assist in the coming campaign.
MAY | suggest that this is nj
time for complacency," Mr.. Rossel
says, land that it is a fatal mistake
not to regard with great serious
ness every call of the Government
The war has not been won. 1t i
certainly wiser to say that it ha
just begun, SO far as our countr,
is concerned. Before we can hop
for victory, the man power, tn
money power and the industria
power of the United States, almos
= in their entirety, must be throw
into the conflict.
The appeal is, therefore, to tn
sense Of patriotism and the sens
Of duty, and, if you please, to tn
sense Of danger, of bankers, mani
= facturers and business men genel
I ally to take care of the obligation
: of the Government as they are o
fered."

ORDINANCE PHOHIBIT-
ING PIGS AMENDED
Committee Named To Audit
Town Accounts

Town Council at the meeting
Monday night gave the first and
second reading to an amendment
to the ordinance prohibiting the
keeping of pigs within the town
limits. Last year an ordinance was
adopted as a health measure pro-
hibiting the keeping OF pigs in the
town. 1t is nyw contended and es-
pecially by a large number of the
colored residents of the town that
just at this time when the cost of
living is SO high the ordance is
working a hardship.
Members of Council after con-
sidering the matter have decided
that it would possibly be best
under existing conditions to amend
the ordinance so that persons could
keep pigs under certain restric-
tions. The amendment provides
that anyone keeping pigs within
the town limits must first get per.
nit from the town board of health
Frank M. Luton and Andrew l.
Fisher were appointed to audit the
accounts of the town t easurer.
