OUR INDIVIDUAL PART.

Some observers think hat the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, something
which astounds the enemy and eXcites
the admiration of our allies, is the
capacity of the American soldiers to
do individual thinking and fighting.
The German fights successfully only
in mass formation, in organized bodies,
while every American soldier has an
initiative and independence of action
which gives him remarkable efficiency
in open fighting. They are not sense
less cogs, but each is an individual
working unit in a great fighting ma
chine.
Every American at home should feel
an individual responsibility and do his
or her individual part in winning the
war. There is not an American citi-
zen who cannot help win the war,
The Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which
begins September %, offers a great
opportunity for concerted action and
for individual action, and the loan will
be a tremendous success if each Amer
lean will do his or her individual part
as each American soldier in France
does his part. Our soldiers deserve
such support from the people at home,

BUYERS AND FIGHTERS

Americans in general must sooner
or later come to a complete r~ealiza-
this war with Germany. For despite
tion of what the country Is facing in
the fact hat we have perhaps a mil
lion and a quarter men in France to-
day, the casualty lists are constantly
growing heavier, we haven't yet fully
reached that point.
Americans are the slowest folks in
all the world to take things seriously.
Even our soldiers went across the
ocean in a sort of holiday spirit. They
"ran to it like they were going to
a feast" was the way General Man.
gin described their dash against the
German lines in the last offensive.
And in the purchase of Liberty
Bonds there are thousands and thou
sands of otherwise very estimable
citizens who are content to let the
other fellow do it.
Unless these tardy ones come 10y
ally to the front in the next loan
there will be a striking disproportion
between the number of fighters and
bond buyers.
For Uncle Sam Is now planning an
army of 100000 to put the finishing
touches upon Prussianism and Kaiser
dom. Even this is not an excessive
drain upon our man power. Lloyd
George, in his latest speech, declared
that if America put into the field as
many men proportionate to her popu-
lation as England had done it would
near an army of 100000. And in
the last loan there were less than H.
100000 bond buyers.
The mark set for individual SUBJ
scriptions in the next loan is 25,000,-
600. This will be only five bond buy
ers for every fighter. And most of
these will be %repeaters.
The stay-at-homes must be awak-
ened. They must be brought to a
sense of their duty. They must be
brought to the bond counters to do
their part.
The next bond campaign should see
nearer fifty million buyers than TWEEN
ty-five million. There has been alto
gether too much Sinking of RESPONSE
bility.
And it is up to you, Mr.. Bond Buy
er, to help round up the hesitant ones.
Mighty few of them cannot afford
to buy at least one bond.
Make it your business to see that
they do.

FEED FOE BY TUNNEL
German Smugglers on Swiss
Border Use Pipe Line.
= -
Subterranean Line From House Across
the Frontier Is Revealed by
Chance.

Basle.-Hunger is the mother Of in
ventions. German hunger invented a
great smuggling device which did a
booming business until discovered by
customs officers. Some Germans, liv-
ing in Baden, neal the Swiss frontier,
built a pipe line across the frontier.
1t ended in a house rented to a Ger
man family. What this family con-
sumed in the line of food, clothing,
shoes, soap and other necessaries was
really astounding. However, these
people bought things in the open mar
ket, which Is still possible in Switzer-
land, paid cash, never grumbled, no
matter how high the price and no
questions were asked.
One day recently two men were seen
digging in the ground near the front
Ter. Customs officials became suspi-
cious, and nosing around soon made
a valuable discovery. The two men
were engaged in repairing the pipe
line, which had been used for snug
Cling. The machinery had become
clogged and an opening had to be made
to get at the seat of the trouble.
The officials saw an opening had
been made into a spacious tunnel built
of concrete. Inside the pipe were
long wires. These wires were wound
round spools at the end stations and
could be pulled either way. Goods,
such as meat, cheese, hams, shoes,
clothing, etc., were tied to the wire
and pulled across the border through
the subterranean channel.
The Swiss government is now after
the %sinugglers. The 1ourishing "busi-
ness" is killed.

FURS AND FIGHTERS

Fur dealers, not only in America, but
in Canada, England and France, are
doing an unprecedented business this,
year. Trade reports state that never
in the history of either country have
retail sales been so heavy.
The answer is the exceptional wages
that the husbands and fathers are
earning in the munitions plants. Wo-
men are buying furs this year who
ordinarily have only wished for them.
And very appropriately in Canada
the garments are dubbed "munition
coats"
Don't understand us to be condemn
ing this. We are not. The situation
has many recOmpenses. Nothing
pleases the average man more than
to be able to crafty the fondest de-
sire of his wife or child. Nothing is
to be more commended where he can
afford it. Moreover, for the mainten-
ance of business as usual, for keep
ing conditions in a healthy state, for
the elevation of the standard of liv-
ing and the arousing of higher ambi-
lions in the minds of the people at
large, a liberal expenditure in times
of prosperity is one of the most effec-
tive influences.
But while you are buying furs or
whatnots don't forget the fighters.
Personal adornment will not protect
any woman from outrage if an invad-
ing Hun army ever lands upon Ameri-
can shores. Silk shirts and fancy era
watts will not prevent any man from
being stood up against a stone wall.
But an elective fighting army along
the French battle front will put an
end to this menace for all time.
We may have the one, we must
have the other. We mustn't forget
that.
Today the average man or woman
can crafty most of the ordinary de-
sires and yet have something left
with which to contribute to the well
fare of his government and its fight
ing forces abroad. Something to in
vest in the insurance of his own liber-
ties and the safety of humanity at
large.
Most of us are earning enough to
be liberal and yet loyal.
We serve the best interests of the
country when we are both.
So when buying your furs, don't
forget the fighters.
Keep the Liberty Bonds in mind.

Berry Picker Plays Mouth Organ as

Things which we later have to paw
The furnace man to take away.

For foolish folk, like me and you;
Not only keeping us secure
From buying things we can't endure,
But daily teaching us to use
Mans highest gift-the power to
