Rene Bach, writer and journalist puts a question to every American; to YOU in this appeal:
 Murder"
 It is a cry for help. What will you do about it?
 There is kind of man who under such circumstances says, Ut is none of my business. am not called upon to interfere"
 Such a man calls himself "peace loving citizen"-a pacifist, to use a word recently popularized.
 But you know, and know, that he is a coward. His One anxiety is to keer out of danger, no matter at what sac rifice of his manhood.
 Even though he knows that his neighbours wife or child is being at tackled he will not interfere. It is none of his affair" Besides, he him s.lf might get hurt.
 The unprovoked invasion of Belgium by the predatory Huns was exactly analogous to the breaking and enter ing of a peaceful mans home by arm- ed burglars, Theirs was criminal enterprise pure and simple.
 Later it became manifest that we were likely to suffer similarly in our turn. In fact, the same criminals be- gan to attack us. They killed oul people-even our women and children
 So. much against our will, we were at last compelled to fight If evel there was just and righteous fight 1t is ours in this war. Will you per senally stand aside, playing the COW ards part, or will you help?
 If you cannot do your bit witt bomb and bayonet, you can help yer, importantly by buying Liberty bonds
 Would you prefer to help the kaise and his gang of professional murder CTS? You can do so by refusing t help your country with your money.
 There can be no such thing as neu trallty on the part of an American !. citizen in this war. Either you ar patriot or you are traitor. Whicl of the two shall you choose to be?

RELIGIOUS FINANCES.

According to bulletin from the Church News Association of New York, American religious organiza- tions-churches-are finding govern ment competition for funds keenly and are suffering in some respects.
 It is pointed out by the association that a careful canvass has shown that the majority of contributors to the w. M. c. A. war relief work, the Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross and purchases of Liberty bonds, are members of some religious denonna- tion.
 According to the Association, churchmen are liberal giVers to every war cause-but are finding it hard to keep up the pace as regards miss ions and other distinctly religious causes.
 Extreme difficulty is being exper- fenced by church organizations to avoid debt in the books relating to missionary activities. Strenuous ef- forts are being made to bring matters on the right side of the ledger and contributions from non-church sources are considered possibility.
 The difficulty in the situaAon arises from the fact that all those able are expected to contribute to the war causes, and their activities in this re- spect are fairly we'll known. But therr is no coercion, persuasion or must about missionary giving-merely free will" offerings.
 The result is that the latter are in danger of being hurt, in spite of the fact that the churches cannot let go the productive and extensive mission, ary activities that have been under way in scores of heather lands.

Hot, dry weather is showing its ef-

disappeared from the market during

two and three-fold over what it was
year ago. 1t sells at 4 and 5 cents
pound.
Potatoes have mounted to a price
that approaches that of year ago.
