WORDS ON
.LOANPOSTER
in COLUMBIA

ITO hell with America and the
allies. Germany is right. Ger
many will win"
That is the seditious legend writ
ten by some contemplate alien enemy
or friend of the enemy of this country
on Liberty Loan poster in the lobby
of the Columbia postoffice
This under-handed thrust at the
safety of the country was perpetrated
some time after 10 o'clock Saturday
night or late Sunday night, it is the
belief of postoffice officials. Police
and United States marshals have been
notified of the act and are seeking to
locate the guilty party.
The words were written in a
smooth, legible hand with pencil.
The poster was placed in the lobby Of
the office Saturday by Mrs. E. w.
Carmack, postmaster, and the win
dows of the office were open until 10
O'Clock Saturday night. 1t is believed
that the seditious act was committed
after that hour or on Sunday night.
1t is hardly probable that the person
would have been bold enough to have
written these insulting words in day
light.
Mrs. Carmack is holding the poster
for examination by federal authorities,
and already indignation is running
high among those who have heard of
the act.

and absolutely no self consciousness.
She explained that the women's COM
mittee is not an organization, but a
committee of organizations. The WON.
ans committee and Red Cross are not
rivals. "The woman of today that
has any space in her heart for any
kind of rivalry isn't worth the death
of the men who are dying for her.
Any society that says it will not
come into the womans committee is
out side of the, government jurisdic-
ton and is an alien" There is work
to be done and the woman who is not
doing the work ought not to live?
There can be no rivalry between the
Red Cross and the Woman's commit
tee because women are doing the
work of both and both are the work
of the government. Her closing words
were: "Our sacrifices and our service
shall be our legacy to posterity that
shall bring Peace on earth good will
towards men,"
The response on behalf of the WON.

conference was given by Mrs. Frank
Everette, chairman of Maury county.

HIS MEASURE AT X GLANCE.

The new Governor of Alaska, ThoS Riggs, Jr came and met hundreds of people, preSum- abyably to give them chance to measure him up Which measure taken at a glance, we are happy to say is to his credit; and his words and action he seems to have already smoothed many wrinkles in the political blanket; and although politics were not publicly discussed, he manag- ed to leave the impression on everybody's mind that politics was not his favorite game. Again ito his credit and let hope that he will refrain from forming the habit of playing the game
 From what measure we have taken of him, the Governor is not man who will bend the knee before a machine clique or faction in holy submission. We believe him to be man while protesting to be of the Democratic faith. will not warp his conscience to please a faction. This we say despite the fact that we were fooled before.
 All in all. the new Governor left in the minds of all who had the honor and pleasure of meeting him. pleasant impression. which was evidenced by the generous welcome accorded him and to which the Progressive-Miner joined heart ly. Meanwhile, We shall all hope tha, the Chief Executive will give no cause during his incunl- bency to disfigure the memory of this first happy meeting.

WAKING UP GRADUALLY

Americans seem to be waking up gradually to the fact that We are fighting the German peo- ples and not merely the Kaiser.
 Many of our readers will remember what we said shortly after congress declared war against Germany, which was in substance that We were at war with the whole or the German peoples To our assertion, some took exception and de- dared that We were making war only upon Ger man aristocracy. Nearly the entire press of the country expressed similar views. Even Presi- lent Wilson was of that mind. But that was Q mistaken notion.
 From the verw beginning. we were at war with the German peoples and not only aristoc- racy. Only by their will has nilitarism been permitted to run rampant. They have even per mitted if to force the world into arms. and they appear to be satisfied in keeping i: up.

Yes indeed we are fighting the German peoples. ..We. are fighting them not only abroad but at home, because of their teaching through which they are trying to defeat our aim, which is to free the world from German militsrism, including the German peoples themselves. And we. shall continue to make war on them because they have proven themselves as zealous as their war lords for world dominion.
 As harsh as it may sound, the war shall be kept up until there are enough good (dead) Germans that the few remaining will beg for peace and ready to turn the Kaiser and his lieu tenants over to the World Tribunal.
 After all, events have proven the correctness of our assertion.

man and woman alike, put his
shoulder to the wheel. There
seems no place on the earth for
women who are neither competent
nor trained. You must be useful in
one way or another and now that so
many who are useful are also eN-
tremely ornamental, the human or
nament who is merely that and moth
ing more, is a drug in the market
and must make up her mind TO ac-
cept nice place on the shelf and
let the dust gather over her.
Those who would avoid that fate
are proceeding to get their training
in one field or another. One of the
professions to which large numbers
of women have always turned natur-
ally is that of nursing; and as was
indicated by the drive" of a few
weeks ago, it is constantly in need
of more recruits.
Even a year ago the situation was
different. Then only nurses OF eX-
perience were desired, but the ever
increasing need has caused new
and intensive system of training TO
be inaugurated. For girls who are
anxious TO devote themselves to the
care of the sick and wounded
way has now been opened. The sur
&GOn general Vi NAAC eAA AAAE AAeNS ~
planned this. In his request for nurses
he has said:
AN army school of nursing un-
der the direction of the Army Med
ical Department has been created
and branch training schools will
be established in many of the mill
tary hospitals of the United States.
1t is proposed to admit young wom-
en- between the ages of twenty-one
and thirty-five years who have ad-
vantage of a high school education
or its equivalent. The training Will
be similar TO that given in the best
hospital training schools. This not
only offers an excellent training, but
also the opportunity of service which
is so earnestly sought by the women
of the country. No type of service is
more important at this time. The
need is urgent
While caring for the sick and
wounded soldiers women who en-
ter these schools will be enrolled IN
classes, which will lead to a diploma
in nursing should the mill
tary hospitals continue in operation

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if you want to keep your hair look
ing its best. Most soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
TO manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.
