If you have followed a business for
so years and don't understand IL,
would it not be good sense to quit IL
and go at something that you can
learn? This is true of even blowing.

business for so years, have sold and
repaired almost all kinds. Surely /
ought to know good machine, and I
DO / can, and will sell you just hs
good Sewing Machine as is made
for much less than you can buy such
machine for anywhere else. Why
not save money? You haven't it to
throw away ! don't suppose. Why
pay peddlers $40 to $40 for bringing
machine to you, when you can save
that by coming after it, or having it
shipped to your nearest depot. This
is no joke; come and see and
be convinced, or send for Illustrated

LOYALTY OR SHAME

Most people would prefer to lend
their assistance to Uncle Sam through
patriotic impulse rather than thraugh
shame or compulsion. For the aver
age man had considerable personal
pride, and away down in his heart he
also has lots of pride in his country
That he isn't expressing it'more free
" lust now doesn't mean that he has
lost 1t. He hasn't. He has merely
learned that this is good time to
play the part Of the conservative.
He may lind things occasionally to
protest against, both in governmental
policy and governmental action, yet
he Is still ready to stand up for MS
country at the pinch. He doesn't be-
lieye there's a better country any
wheAe, despite its faults, and he's for
it. He'd fight like Sam Hill against
being deported. He'd rather be- lock-
ed up, here, than loose in lots of 9TH
err places. i.
Yet there's a lot of folks, who fe,'
lust this way, that are not doing their
part in meeting the country's de-
mands. They're procrastinating, dodg-
ing, stacking; trying to get of with
doing the least possible. And, for a
time, they may succeeded. But day
= of reckoning is coming.
When the volunteer plan broke
down Uncle Sam promptly adopted
conscription to recruit his armies
And It has worked. And many TEL
low who held off to the last minute
rushed to volunteer and avoid con-
scription-which after all was no dis
grace for the men of the selective SER
vice.
But it will be different for the mar
who Stacks in his financial support o.
the government until CONSUMPTION O.
earnings and income is forced upoT
the country. We will have no chance
to volunteer. He will be known !o'
what he is.
II will be immeasureably better fo'
al, NJ us Tn do the best we can, ant
cheerfully, to help finance the war.
Better to buy Liberty Bonds pa
triotically.

WILL PROBE STORIES OF ILL
TREATMENT OF YANK PRIS.
ONERS IN GERMANY

Washington, April % - Though
without any official information to
confirm press reports of ill-treatment
of American prisoners of war In Ger
many, the State Department has in
stituted an inquiry to develop the
facts. If they conform to the publish
ed accounts a protest will be made
promptly through the Spanish gov
eminent, which has taken over Amer
lean diplomatic representation at Ber-
lin. If the protest is unavGiling, mca-
sures of retaliation will be considered.
German prisoners of war in Amer
lea largely out-number Americans
held in German prison camps. and in
clude the crews of German raiders
and prizes, In addition to the crew Of
the German submarine U-5S. These
prisoners have been treated with a de
gree of liability that has caused ad
verse criticism in some quarters, and
in marked contrast to the treatment
said to be accorded prisoners in Ger
many.
One difficulty in the way OF retalia-
ton. 1t is said, is that it might lend
color to the stories of American
cruelties told by the German military
commanders to their troops to deter
them from deserving. That such
stories have been told has been testi-
fed to by prisoners taken by General
Pershing's men.

AT 1t war convention at Atlantic

that the United States Employment

national machinery for the mobiliza-

All chambers of commerce and

communities which have no public
employment offices are asked to es

better able to recruit a community's
agricultural workers and place them
