D UNANIA, having made peace with

robbed-two billions OF dollars
The high cost OF Prussian peace

Too much space is given to shipping to the town
Of what the town Of manufactures and to the town
Of what manufactures when both make about the same
thing and ought to use their own products This
because popularity Of human nature on which incident
ally the mail order houses rely, is that the goods from

ought to be suppressed by the censor.
Why for instance should cattle be shipped from here to
Kansas City and shipped back beef when the beef can
be bought here, made from cattle killed here
Cattle cars carry variety Of merchandise at a

which can be elaborated fit many food and other products

man cannot explain successfully

prices caused from the war while
our boys have given up their

might enjoy liberty and continue

person who fails to do his or her
duty. There names will be i'm

People are requested to call on
their district committee and find

buy. We must work and pray,
fight and buy stamps. Buying
and pledging for War Saving
Stamps, with six months in
which to pay, is not giving to
