week of the campaign. The slgnif-
icant fact in connection with the
subscriptions In this county to GATE
is that they are all voluntary. Prob
ably no other county In the state
has done so well in that respect.
Although County Chairman Frank
c. Bramwell has his organization
perfected and was ready to start
out the first day, the volunteers
were given the opportunity TO sub.
scribe first.
Great credit is due the banks for
taking up the un-subscribed balance
OF the quota Saturday. They will
not be overlooked in this matter
during the rest of the campaign.

to help the government float the
war loans than any other business,
for, besides subscribing literally to
the bonds they have turned their IA
cilities over to the government and
have given service valued at thous-
ands OF dollars.
The drive in the county will start

possible will be visited. giving all
an opportunity to do their bit. There
should be no let-up. Secretary Nc

PACIFISM

In no better way than the behav-
Tor Of Henry Ford is the progress
Of pacifism represented in this coun-
try. 1t is only couple OF years
since that quixotic idealist made his
peace cruise to Europe, in the belief
that the mere preaching of the gos-
pei Of love would persuade the war
ring nations to lay down their arms.
How different now! Mr.. Ford's
present activities, in which his
works are as great as the ia
nous Krupps at Essen, are now be-
ing utilized for the production of
war materials. he has cut the pro-
duction of his we'll known car in
half. He has greatly enlarged his
factories. He is now making i'm
mense quantities of parts for Liber-
ty motors and will soon be making
the motors complete, by the thous-
ands. He is also making thousands
Of small military trucks and cars.
He is building $4,000 farm tractors,
primarily as war contribution. He
Is engaged in the construction OF a
new type OF submarine chaser, which
the government has named the
Eagle" and expects to have 1000
OF these craft in action before the
summer is over He is said to be
preparing to manufacture tens of
thousands OF armored tanks" to
hold only two or three men each,
armed with machine guns, for use
when our armies start their great
drive for Berlin.
This is paciflsm with vengence.
But there Is nothing at all incon-
sistent about it. The whole thing
is the very essence Of consistency.
Mr.. Ford is simply doing what al
most any American pacifist would do
II he had the opportunity. He has
learned, as the rest of US have, that
we and our allies are fighting war
itself, and that the only way to put
down war is to use war-like meth
ods.
Our game is to flight the devil
with fire." We must use whatever
effective weapons the enemy him
self employs. And we must use
them in overwhelming quantities,
with overwhelming force and un-
yielding sternness back of them.
There is no other way to restore
peace and good will to the world

Worth Fighting For

CHALL this little girl grow up in the sort
- of American home know, healthy and
~ happy? Shall she have the advantage of
living and learning in free land, under free in.
stitutions? Shall such children develop into the
Liberty flowing citizens that free America may
be proud of?
For over two hundred years Americans have
fought valiantly, and died galanty, to win for
themselves and hand down to their posterity the
blessings of liberty justice. self-government and
equal opportunity. This precious heritage. bought
at SO great price, is now threatened.
The question which today confronts America
as nation, and you as an individual, is
whether or not free America
is worth fighting for
Are American children in this and all future
generations to receive unimpaired the legacy of
freedom of which we are now the custodians, or
shall their country be turned over bodily to the
brutal, rapacous, power mad enemy which has
forced us into this war?
This question cannot be answered by word of
mouth. but by deeds alone

WASHINGTON. Feb 12.-Warning to the public to be careful in the use of hair dyes, hair removers and similar cosmetics because many of them contain poisonous Ingredients was given recently by the Bureau of Standards:

 Dyes used in blackening grey hair generally contain one or more of the salts of silver, lead, copper iron or bismuth, and can cause ser ious poisoning when taken internally It is well to treat all materials oi this character as poisons."
