TOUGH CUSTOMER-ROUGH
TREATMENT.

No wonder the Liberty loan went
over out West In some sections on
the Pacific coast-in California, for
instance-they had to resort to vigOr-
Gus measures not only for soliciting
subscriptions, but &Or treating those
who failed to come up to the expecta-
tions of the committees. Each citi-
zen was responsible to a certain com
mittee, and he had to give this com
mittee subscription or a mighty good
reason why. At the town Of Brawley,
in California, a man by the name Of J.
Edgar Ross, was inclined to rebel.
The local paper. The Brawley News,
did not hesitate to tell what happened
to Mr.. Ross says that he was
taken to Liberty loan headquarters,
urged 10 subscribe for Liberty bonds
in such sums as the committee deem
ed fair, and after persistently refusing
to do so, was taken by couple Of
persons, whose names are unknown,
to an obscure spot in the suburbs
where a coat of tar and feathers was
applied and the man returned to a po-
sition in front OF the Hotel Dunlack.
where he was chained to pillar of
the house and a placard bearing the
inscription j. Edgar Ross, who low
ed his money better than his country
was suspended above his head. The
man was kept in that position until
afternoon when he was removed to
the city park. Later he was taken to
FL Centre and there again, it is to
be supposed, put on exhibition. In
this part of the country people like
Ross get off much lighter. They get
a little quiet "cussing." and escape
with that. But there is difference.
Out West there appears to be quite a
population of Edgar ROSES, and it
became necessary TO resort to harsh
measures. In the South, Edgar
Roses are so few that it is scarcely
worth while dealing with them, other
than 70 mark them as objects of COM
muniy pity-Char1otte Observer.

The doctors, your doctor and mine
deserve no little credit for their faith
fulness during the influenza and
pneumonia epidemic. Many have sac
rificed their lives. Through day and
night, rain or shine, with very little
sleep. they administered as best they
could to all patients and never falter-
ed. It's not question of financial
consideration, of course they made
good money, but the bigger and finer
question of unreserved loyalty and de-
votion to duty every hour and day in
the trying experiences through which
they and the rest of humanity have
been going now for some weeks. All
honor to the doctors and their noble
allies, the, nurses, who deserve just as
much praise.

the vast army of farmers did not buy
Liberty bonds. The banks and othel
great financial institutions were called
on to supply the needed money to
save the honor and credit of the Uni
ted States in the 4th Liberty Loan,
whereas if the great multitude OF
workers who failed to subscribe had
come across, it would have reached
the idle money and kept the strong
boxes in good shape for emergencies.
It's the big amount Of idle money in
the hands Of the masses that should
be put to work for The good of the
country. Hoarding it up eventually
hurts the country and does the hoard
er very little good.

(60c added this year, and the likeli-

year by the board. how do they expect
a man to shoulder it all without a

fact that High Point has the highest
