Good Business

It is a poor time now to spend a dollar that you
can save
Consider the matter from the purely selfish
standpoint.
Your dollar will buy but 60 cents worth Of the
products of the world today compared with what
it would in normal times.
The same dollar invested in war savings stamps,
will about 20 cents interest by Jan. l. 1923,
when the stamps payable
After the war; with a return of normal prices,
the 100cent purchasing power of your dollar will
probably return
You have therefore gained by saving your dol
lar, 10 cents plus 20 cents, or 60 cents.
1t is plain arithmetical problem.
Entirely beyond any consideration of the needs
Of your government at this time, you should salt
down every dollar you don't need in war savings
stamps.
June 2Sth is War Savings day. Make pledge
to begin to put definite part of your earnings into
war savings stamps.

The Hun Over Here

Viustaf Hahn, Chicago baker, was convicted OF
hanging dirty rag, one he had used in wiping
ais ovens outside his bakeshop and calling it 1.-The
american flag" His employees testified of other
things, un-American and pro-German, Hahn had
said and done.
He was sentenced to four months in jail.
Hahn came over to this country and found hos
pitabe welcome here. He piled up wealth, more
than he had ever dreamed of possessing in Germany
He enjoyed the rights and privileges accorded to
all persons who dwell under the American flag
And this is how he repays America for all she has
done for him!
The flag he sought when he a poor immigrant
the flag which has protected him all these years, the
flag under which he reaped a harvest of wealth,
that flag HE NOW CALLS A DIRTY RAG! We
have infinitely more respect for the Hun in the
kaiser's army who walows in bestiaty and brutal
ity than we have for this Hun without our gates
who partakes Of our bread at our table and then
despicably betrays us. No decent person in all
American can henceforth think of this Gustaf Hahn
without feeling of disgust; no honest person will
hereafter pass this Hun upon streets without
drawing aside his clothing so that by no means
will anything upon his person come into contact
with the clothing of this foul and othsome traitor
and no American in all the days to come should have
any business or social relations with this Hun.
-Four months in Jail is not the punishment such
traitorous act merits Why, the Hunnish kaiser of
Gustaf Hahn would shoot on the spot any person in
Germany who said the same thing about the Ger
man flag!
Four months in jail is not enough for this Hun
nor for any other Hun within our gates who by
word or deed does aught to aid the kaiser in his
damnable war upon the worlds liberty.
There is, however, another and brighter angle
from which to view this and similar cases of Hun
treachery over here The judge who sentenced this
Hahn put it in this fashion,:
''The only effect of such remarks as you are &C
cused of having made is to make real Americans
work harder to win this war;

assist you in every way in my power,
and | shall continue to do so. | will
do all | can to urge the passage of

day to ask him to use his influence
to bring about a vote on the federal

and women, Miss Lucy Branham, of
the National Woman's party, stood
on the base of the Lafayette statue,
opposite the white house, and burned
the "scrap of paper" containing the
presidents words.
Thirty-two women, led by Mrs.
Grace Frost, Of Uniontown, Pa, car
rying the American flag, marched in

The GOVERNMENT REPORTS
CONDITION OF COTTON 54.4
This Years Crop Estimated at H.
$4,000 Bales Against 11,137,-
600 Last Month. Yield Small.

This years cotton crop is estimat-
ed at 11,818,000 equivalent 500
pound bales by the federal depart
ment of agriculture, basing it's esti-
mate on the condition of the crop
on September rs, which was 54.4 per
cent. of normal and which forecasts
yield of 154.1 pounds to the acre.
The estimate put the 1918 crop
more than half million bales above
the total yield last year. A decrease,
however, was shown in the condition
of the crop on September % as com
pared with the corresponding date of
the previous month. The condition
was 54.4, as compared with 1897,
the final figure last year.
Despite the condition and yield es-
Inmates the department indicated a
crop 681, 600 bales Larger than it
counted on a month ago.
The condition in Georgia is placed
at 90, and a yield Of III pounds an
acre forecasted.
This years cotton crop, which gave
an early promise of record produc-
ton, was disastrously affected by
drought during July and August.
Planted on 37,073, 900 acres, which is
G. PEI cent. more than the area in
1917, the June canvass of the depart
ment of agriculture indicated a pro-
duction of 1000 bales.

said the women disturbed nobody any
more than is common carrying for
ward all propagandas, and asked:
Have the militants done anything
worse than the revolutionary fathers
who threw the tea chests into the
sea-"
Senator Lenroot, of Wisconsin, an
ether republican supporter, said the
democrats who opposed the resolu-
ton must be considered as not be-
lleving the presidents statement that
the resolution is a war measure.
Where Williams Quits Wilson.
Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
said he loved President Wilson IS a
brother, but when the president tells
US we cannot outmaneuver Luden-
dorff or capture Palestine unless the
women in Mississippi can vote, then
| decline to agree with him" He said
he could not see what the war against
Won Hindenburg, Ludendorff or in
Palestine had to do with the right of
negro women to vote in Mississippi.
He declared that without amend
ments the resolution threatened white
domination in the South.
AS crowds of women left the gal
lery militants were frank in predict
ing another outburst of demonstra-
lions in Washington, while the more
conservative suffragists coptented
themselves with grimly promising the
defeat of some of the men who OPP
posed the measure today.
