Traffic has been at a standstill
here for the past week. The mer-
chants are getting nothing to mar
ket nor nothing from the railroad.
There is no travelling and business
is at a low ebb, very naturally.
News is very scarce locally, and to
add to the Inconvenience no
mail is coming to town and we
are unable to know what is going
on in the outside world. To make
long story short, this is a very
bad time we are having.
Snow is on the ground to the
depth of twenty inches here, and
practically the whole town has been
very nearly out of fre-wood during
the week. Some of the business
houses have been closed a part of
the time because of a lack of fuel,
and everybody has been getting
out wood. A good many people
have been getting up wood the old
fashioned way-cutting down a
tree and shaking it" to the house
with a horse This is certainly the
worst winter we have had in quar-.
ter Of a century, and air eady more
snow has fallen than usually falls
in two or three winters.

CITCuIdtiOn IN tnc
Mrs. Philip Moore. great campaign c,
patriotic education which tho Secur-
ity League 10 conducting throughout
the country under the direction Of
this committee:
A tremendous responsibility Is
placed upon the women of the United
States. The thing we need today Is
inspiration. Our obligation is Just as
great as If the war were on our own
borders or on the shores Of the Mis-
sissippi. When this inspiration and
obligation are brought home, women
can do more than men to bring condi-
tons to the people.
The resources of the country are
more definitely needed in war than in
peace, and women can do more than
any other force to conserve these re.
sources. The American people have
much to learn, and this lesson is need.
e, TO teach them to be less wasteful
md more alive to industrial condi.
IONS The laissezfaire sort Of living
IS not good patriotism, and the hour
has come upon which we may look
back with appreciation, the hour
which made us more thoughtful Of
mankind, less self centered
What England Did.
In England it Is estimated that S00,.
900 women have gone out to work
Who did not do so before the war.
The number of women who have been
substituted for men in industries, ex-
Guiding all government establish
ments, are 376,000 There are 139,-
700 women employed in government
works, including arsenals, dockyards
and national shell filling and projec.
lie factories; $4,000 are engaged in
agricultural pursuits, and $1,000 In
transportation.
II is in the industrial and economic
leld that the world war will mark the
most far reaching transformation in
he condition of women.
From the women Of the country we
ask utmost loyalty to the declaration
hat we are not in this struggle for
conquest, but that we follow the flag
o an assured victory OF the principles
4 democracy and humanity.
Those who are determined that this
hall be the last great war must learn
Now to live and work together, even
s we desire all nations to do
Preventive Duty.
Today women are rising TO a con.
3eption more than personal, are see
ng through world eyes, realizing that
heir duty Is not remedial only, but
llso preventive, In the kind Of effort
which has been called preparedness
against the rebarbarlzation OF the
world"
No true woman can be content to
i've on the surface In these fateful
lays, days that are to decide perhaps
or generations whether war or law
hall govern the world
She will throw all her influence to.

Famine Is Upon Folks.

Cleo Barnett has purchased a res
idence from Joe Richie here and
he and Mrs. Barnett have moved to
town.
The school closed out the first
part of the week until next Monday.
The weather is so very bad that but
few students could get to the school.
Mrs. Pearl Blagg came in from
Tulsa, Okla, several days ago for a

and friends, are now spending a

DR.. C. L. Billinesley reports that
health conditions are be tier in this

time past. This is something we
can all be thankful for, notwith-
standing all other unfavorable con-
ditions.
The candidates are coming right
out, despite the rough winter, the
war, the flesh and the devil. We
always think it a pity that all the
good fellows who want an office
can't get one, but such is life
among candidates.
W. W. Bristow has an old over
coat which he announces he is 90.

When asked for an explanation of

MUST GIVE UP RUSSIA

Germany must be compelled to
withdraw from the Russian provin-
ces she has seized. That is an aim
of war which the Allies cannot too
promptly proclaim, it is a purpose
they must infleXibly adhere to. 1t
is not alone the rescue of Russia that
is involved, it is the safety of civili-
zation. The clearing out of Ger
many from Russia is imperative be-
cause it is demanded by every con-
sideration of international interest
and safety, it is demanded for the
security and permanence of the
worlds peace after the war. BY her
conquest of Russia. for undeniably
it is conquest though secured by
the foulest means, Germany would
be able to establish her future pow
er upon a foundation vastly broader
and deeper than that contemplated
in her domain of Middle Europe.
Profiting by that conquest, she will
have been checked merely in the
execution of her monstrous purposes
not baked; she will emerge from the
war victorious beyond even her own
plan and imagining. for she will be
in a position to build up an irresisti-
BILE military power and enforce her
will upon the world.-From the New
York Times.

Somebody's Mother

n E RS. HENRY P. Dawson, treasA
N urer of the War Work Coun-
ell of the Y. w. c. A. tells in
the current Good Housekeeping of
the practical war work that that or
Sanization is accomplishing. She
cites the following incident as an
Illustration:
In an Illinois prairie town lives
a widow who laundries seventeen
baskets of wash a week and every
night thanks God for having put
pity into the hearts of women. To
her came one day a letter from her
only son. He was then at Camp
Funston, Kansas, learning to be a
soldier. The letter begged her to
come and see him before he was sent
to France.
The mother opened the tin bank
in which she had been boarding her
dimes and quarters against this day.
I he money was scarcely enough,
Nevertheless she started. She walk
ed the first eighteen miles. Then her
strength gave out, and she took a
train.
She did not know that visitors
to Camp Funston stay in Junction
City, eleven miles away. So she got
off the train at Fort Riley. An off,
Ger set her right and she reached
junction City after dark. Somehow
she found a rooming- house. Some
one there stole five dollars from. her

had earned over the washtub and

YOUR INCOME TAX

Pay your income tax, if possible,
by check, money order. or draft.
This is the urgent request of the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue.
More than 100000 persons this
year will pay an income tax. The
total to be collected under the war
revenue act of October 8, 1917. in
individual income taxes alone is
1865, 100000. The vast majority of
these payments will be small a.
mounts. If paid as requested it will
avoid the necessity for the issuance
of a receipt. and save much time
and labor.
Taxes paid to deputies who are
visiting every county in the United
States to assist taxpayers in making
out their returns are sent to the
collector of internal revenue of the
district in which the taxes are col
lected. Checks. money orders. or
drafts can be handled without diff
Guilty. Cash has to be sent by regist-
cred mail or by insured express.

able tasks less difficult by paying

RESTLESS LONDON

London-The war seems to have
done away with the difference be-
tween night and day. The period of
rest and the period of eXertion seem
to have merged themselves into one
long period of eXertion. l look out
on the river at or in the morn
ing and it is as busy as the river at
midday. Barges are being towed up
and down and goods being shipped
from the wharves. Huge vans rattle
along the road beneath my window
and the streets are as full of people
at night as they are in the daytime.
AT Woolwich Arsenal there are
two 12-hour shifts, and as much
work is done at night as by day. The
other evening l motored from the
Manorway Gate of the arsenal to the
entrance of the danger buildings
and returned just as the night shift
was going in to work. The chauf-
feur had to go at a snaifS pace,
blowing his horn continually. The
broad roads which run between the
buildings were crowded from side to
side, swarming with workers, prin-
cipally women. They had to crowd
together at the side of the road to
make room for the car to pass.
These women were going in on a
