So, 20, 600, 10000 is a mans job.
If railroad train should be one
second late for every dollar it
would be sixty four years behind
its schedule. If the people of
the United States try to help The
government in buying thrift
stamps to the amount of 81 900
ooo.o 900 we shall have to buy
500 every second from now until
January /, I91o. You see it can't
be done by buying thrift stamps
alone. But we must have the
81 900, 900 10000. It's a mans
job. The boys and girls have
done wonders. They have
bought from their own funds
hundreds of thousands of dollars
of the little thrift stamps. But
they must be helped by the men
and women if this job goes over,
and in big way, by the pur-
chase OF war stamps.
1t has taken US over a year to
realize that it is a mans job
"Over There" And we now
know that 1t is a mans job over
here. Don't cry out against the
multiplication of subscriptions
aud contributions ahd- p,omO
lions Did you ever stop to
think that the boys 'Over There"
can't stop after they fight one
battle and take their own time to
fight the next one? It's life and
blood and wounds "Over There"
it's sordid dollars and cents over
here Take your choice. It's
taxes one month, Red Cross the
next, Liberty Bonds the next, Y.
M. Z. A., funds the next and X
G subscriptions the next. That
all right "Over There" it Is gas
today, shrapnel tomorrow, ma
chine gun fire day after tomor
row and Hell every night. And
our boys do not get 4 per cent
compound interest on their in
vestment of life and limb
Wouldn't you like them to know
that kentucky did not hesitate
to invest money while they in
vested their lives ? Look upon
the War Savings Stamps as a
man S job just as you looked up
on the Third Liberty Loan.

The only sad Americans there are
those who fear they may have to come

thing for an American to dois to sup
port the war financially and with q

Washington, April 17.-An Austrian

Against Judge Smith of Imperial,

Judge Smith of Imperial has MADE
a mistake in trying cases of violation

such cases must be tried in the Su-

So ruled Superior Judge Cole yes
terday upon an application of Attor-
ney Joe Seymour for peremptory
writ of prohibition in the Coleman
case.
Coleman, proprietor of rooming
house at Imperial, is out on $500 bail
charged with violation of the liquor
ordinances. Any city coming under
the provisions of the Wylie local op-
ton law may not try liquor cases, but
al lsuch cases must be pro secuted by
the district attorney in the Superior
court.
