the fact that, viewed in the light of
justice and right, NOTHING should
be exempt. Life is the most sacred OF
our possessions. Yet life is demanded
by our government, and we see no in
justice in the demand. But as soon as
our precious dollars are demanded we
raise holy howl.
Our government is fighting for its
existence. The life and death struggle
is now going on, and should any cit
izen of this government dare to claim
that his country has not the right to
his last dollar if that should be need
ed to insure victory.
So long as the bond issues of the
government are readily subscribed,
however, indications are that that
means will be taken to finance the war.

ton the real test as to the ultimate
authority of the government willeome.

In this emergency, Americas duI

cgnizes the fundamental fact that mar
owes debt to the government, and is
bound to pay that debt on demand
that there can be no exemption so
long as the man himself is physically
and mentally fit to pay. Nothing but
physical or mental unfitness can ex-
empt any man from this obligation.
But isn't there a further obligation
resting upon the benefciaries of gov
eminent? Is life and personal serv-
ice all the debt.
Getting down to the gist of the ques-
ton, if the government has the right
to demand the services of your son,
has it not the right to demand the
services of your dollars as well? Is
property more sacred in the eyes of
the law than life? Life and personal
service alone can never win the war.
These must be backed up and sustain

ton. But is the burden to fall alto

these means of sustenance?

HELP OUR BOYS,

All America has been thrilled by the
news from the front less than a week
ago that at least 100000 American sol
diers were being thrown into the line
that is successfully resisting the drive
of the Germans in Picardy. Over on
the Toul front and near Verdun other
lines are held by Americans, who are
giving splendid accounts Of themselves
In future retaliation upon the Hun
army and in further resistance of
their drive designed to destroy the
army of the British, which under the
brilliant leadership Of Sir Douglas
Haig, has been saved intact through
nine days hammering by million
Germans, Americans will carry much
of the responsibility and the people of
the entire country are enthused That
the Yankee will give good account of
himself, none can doubt. But with the
entry of the Americans into actual
combat, there comes the reflection that
the casualty list will begin to grow.
Our boys will be falling on the field
and in the trenches. Hundreds of them
will fall into the hands of the con-
scienceless Hun as prisoners of war
and their captors are actuated by no
sense of humanity in their treatment
of prisoners. Our boys must have
support from home and from time to
time more and more support for their
needs will be demanded By sacrifice
and saving and investing in the secur-
tiles of our government all of us can
do our part toward helping our sol
diers put up stronger fight. Their
courage will grow when they hear that
Liberty Bonds have been taken without
hesitation and when they realize that
golden millions are flowing into the
war chest every day from the every
day savings of the parents and friends
back home. Let our people realize
this increased claim of the government
upon them and let coming reports
show vastly growing receipts from
War Savings as the days of fighting
on the bloody western front pass. Our
boys will win-no doubt about that.
But they will win more quickly and
if given cordial and sub
stanial support by all households Of
the country.

The Saturday Evening Post
strikes a most vulnerable spot in our
national economy when it makes the
astounding declaration that this coun-
try loses over eight hundred millions
of dollars yearly through the illiteracy
of its people. At first glance this
would seem to be an exaggerated
estimate, but when one comes
to arefully estimate the limitations
of an illiterate the statement does not
seer. so ovcrdrawn. The illiterate man
or woman is at a discount in every av-
enue Of industry. He is incapable of
filling any but the most mental posi-
tions,. and even the work of these lines
is not nearly as we'll executed, as a
general thing, by illiterates as by
those of moderate learning. Proba-
bly, the most disastrous effect of illit-
eracy is found on the farms of the
country An illiterate farmer, as a
general proposition is back number.
progress is foreign to his nature. Un-
able to read and keep pace with the
world thought and world improvement
he clings to Anticipated methods in
his work with the result that frequent
ly great per cent of his effort is
wasted. Of course this is not always
the case, but too often it is. The
Posts estimate of eight hundred mil
lions rightly applied, would go long
way toward Kidding the country of

Ireland is untrue to herself. Fol-
centuries che term "Irishman" has
stood for all that was gallant, brave,
loyal and true. That she should re-
fuse to bear her share in the great

The wheat shortage IS destined to
make the people Of the United States
acquainted for the first time in their
history with he great American grain
corn. When one comes to think of
it, it is really surprising how few peo-
pie in our land really appreciate this
grain as they should Corn bread,
rightly made, has no superior as an ar
ticle Of diet. Those who have become
accustomed to its use frequently pre-
fer it to all other bread, and insist that
one never loses the relish for it. Corn
was the staple article of food of the
Indian, than whom a finer
race, physically, never existed. 1t was
also the mainstay of the African slaves
OF the south Tor TWO centuries, and on
It they throve and labored. 1t is ac-
knowledged by leading physicians that
corn bread is much more healthful
than wheat bread, and when once one
has acquired taste for it he becomes
a convert for life. 1t is the merest
lrivel, to say nothing Of craven dis
loyalty, for any of our people to be-
vail forced abstinence from wheat
bread so long as we have untold mil
ions of the best grain God ever caus-
I'd to grow out of the ground.
