ALL WILLING TO PAY FARES
Reason Why Citizens Of Lima, Peru
Do Not Seek to Evade Their
Street Car Obligations.

II fare registers were to be placed
In the street cars Of Lima, Peru, there
would be loud protest. This is. not
because it is easier to dodge the con.
ductor under the prevailing system.
On the contrary, the travellers of Lima
are willing even anxious, to pay their
fares. Perhaps that doesn't seem hu-
man. but the explanation is that upon
receipt of the fare 4 numbered ticket
is presented to the passenger, and 1t
IS a valuable lottery ticket.
The car lines are divided into four
sections for the monthly and semi
monthly drawings conducted by the
railway company. In the three impor-
tant sections q cash prize Of $3.50 Is
offered. The fourth section offers q
prize OF $50. '-' .

PLANTS PvRlFlERs OF AIR

oaA Always ooIns On, 70 % ,
Great Benefit.

Plants do not breathe or have any
action corresponding to the breathing
Of animals. Oxygen is essential to the
sustaining of life in animals, includ-
ing human beings. and in breathing
air they, consume or appropriate the
oxygen it contains and give out car
bonic acid gas. which is poisonous.
Plants do not consume oxygen, but
they consume carbonic acid. thus help
Ing to purify the atmosphere. which is
to some extent rendered impure by
the breathing Of animals. They do not
generate oxygen. but they release 1t
by consuming the carbonic acid. Iyn.

Our people have come to under
stand the importance of raising money
to carry on the war and that without
it the war will be failure from our
standpoint. The speakers with us OIL
Monday encouraged this spirit and the
character of their addresses both in
the afternoon and evening measured
up to the highest expectations. Cap.
tain Bigelow OF Camp Dodge delivered
an address Monday evening which was
a gem from every standpoint. 1t was
full of patriotism, logic and sentiment.
He pointed out that there was no room
for slackers in this country. He said
that the man who owed an obligation
to his country and failed to discharge
1t would be looked upon after the war
as an unworthy citizen. That every
man and every woman had duty to
perform in connection with the war
and in proportion as each person fails
to rise to the performance OF his duty,
in that proportion such persons are
slackers. A man cannot prove his
patriotism by doing nothing or saying
nothing. A man who undertakes to
prove that he is good citizen because
he does not commit himself on the war
problems confesses that he is wrong
in hearts It is the duty of every man
to declare himself in favor Of his
country and in sympathy with the sol
diers who are fighting its battles and
it is his duty also to conform to the
requirements of the government. both
as to the fuel and food supply and all
other requirements exacted by Uncle
Sam. The war is now upon US and
henceforth our duty Is plain. In what
ever capacity we can serve the govern.
ment, duty demands that we shall be
ready and willing to perform the SER
vice.
