CONSISTENCY A RARE JEWEL.

1t is common trait of human nature
to be blind to the constituencies of life, es-
pecially as they affect our selfish inter-
eStS.
One of our Well-knoWn farmers charg-
ed us $500 for a load of wood recently
which would have cost $3.50 last year;
and at the same time complained bitterly
at the Times costing S150 this year.
A hotel keeper, who would sooner be
without the Times than pay the one-third
increase, charged us just twice the price
Of year ago for a meal the other day.
A grocer who still thinks weekly
home paper too high at S1.50 charged us
this week % cents for pound Of butter
and 30 cents for a dozen eggs.
And so it goes, from the boy who shov-
els your snow to the man who keeps you
out of purgatory or the penitentiary, all
must receive twice the price of year ago,
but all alike are ready to kick when the
price boosting goes the other way.-Har-
rlSOn Times
The world will watch with interest the
outcome of the German occupation of
Russia, as also the disposition of the leu
tonic powers will make of their agents,
Lennine and Trotsky-for that these
worthless have been all along working in
the interest of Germany, few thinking
people now doubt. If treachery is re-
Warded in proportion to its baseness, they
should have high place in the favor of the
kaiser. If Russia is really their father
land, they must find deep consolation in
the thought that through their efforts
she now lies helpless under the heel of
her oppressor.

THE BLOOD CALL.

There is no finer sight in this old
world than perfect blood loyalty-famil-
les bound by the ties of blood cemented
into one compact band to promote and de
fend the interests of the whole.
The hour has struck when this call is
ringing clear and loud above all others in
the ears Of the American people, Every
city, every town, every hamlet and every
community in the land has given of its
best beloved blood to swell the expedition
aIy torres e t9 s- hsts9 fle1ds 81 France
Tnese men have gone to fight OUR bat
ties They have offered their all in OUR
service. The blood tie holds them firmly
to the task which they are dedicated to.
We have the word of the commanders
that their sacrifice is complete-that the
blood loyalty is perfect.
But is theirs to be the only demon
stration Of the power of blood loyalty?
What man worthy the name, if he has a
friend fighting his battles, will not back
him up and support him to the limit of his
power? Is the sacrifice to be out of all
proportion to the gratitude of the benefit
ciary?
These thousands these hundreds of
thousands, who have gone, are going, and
who are yet to go-flesh of our flesh and
blood of our blood-are appealing to us
through every affection of the human
heart for SUPPORT, for SYSTEM
ANCE, for COOPERATION, for POW
Err These WE must furnish or their
sacrifice will have been in vain.
But we Americans need to be told
that the very essence of blood loyalty IS
SACRIFICE Not only a protested
willingness to sacrifice IF necessary"
but real sacrifice-the total subordinat-
mating Of our interests to theirs.
Coming down 80 grim realities the
success or failure Of our sons over yon-
der will depend on whether or not we
at home will sacrifice to the tune of tWen-
ty billions of dollars yearly There IS
absolutely no other way This is the
amount that Congress has allotted to the
task, and it must ALL come from the
people, and that over and above their own
necessary expenditures. Armies are IL
fed and clothed and armed and equipped
with ammunition simply by proclamation
or by appropriations These can only
authorize the necessary expenditures
the concrete supplies must come from
OUR labors and OUR savings and OUR
sacrifices.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers
friends of our soldier boys are we heed
ing the blood call? Are we not onl,
willing" but DO we respond with ever,
throb of our hearts blood to every call
Or are we by our lethargy and indiffer
ence and selfishness manufacturing Ger
man bullets for their breasts-for, get i
right, that is the inevitable result if W
fail in our response to the call.

(The following lines, written by George MorO
Mayo of Kentucky, gunper's mate in the UNIV

LET HIM LIVE.

AS long as the flowers their perfume give,
So long I'd let the kaiser live
Live and live for million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears,
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine of Scotchmans curse
| would let him live dinner each day.
Served from silver a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat
And I'd make him a bed of silken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With of down and filets of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;
Yet when to its comfort he would yield
1t would sink with rot of the battlefield,
had blood and brains and bones of men
Should cover him, smother him-and then
His pillows should cling with the rotten cloy-
Cloy from the grave of soldier boy,
And while Gods stars their vigils keep,
And while the the white sands sweep,
He should never, never, never sleep
And through all the days, through all the years.
There should be anthem in his ears,
Ringing and singing and never done
From the edge of light to the set of sun,
Moaning ard moaning and moaning wild
r-vaged French girls bastard child
And | would build him a castle by the sea,
AS lovely castle could be;
Then I'd show him ship from the sea-
AS fine ship could be;
Laden with water cold and sweet,
Laden with everything good to eat;
Yet does she touch the silvered sands,
Than hot and hellish molten shell
Should change his heaven into hell,
And though he'd watch the wave-swept sho e,
Our Lustania would rise no morei
In mo Mans Land" where the Irish fell,
I'd start the kaiser private hell;
I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas
In every wound I'd pour ground glass
I'd march him out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads they crueified
In the fearful gloom of his living tomb
There is thing I'd do before through;
I'd make him sing, in a stirring manner,
The wonderful words of THE Star Spangled Ban

KEEP UP THE PUBLIC IMPROVE
MENTS.


1t is regrettable to observe that in
many localities, because of the war, there
is already evidences of lack of public
spirit and push in the matter of necessary
public utilities. There is a tendency to
put off till later day, needed improve
ments, on the plea of the high cost of la
Dor and material
This is a great mistake, and the town
or section of country that is enticed into
it will wake up in the near future to find
itself out of the running from business
point of view 1t is very true that labor
is scarce and material high, but neither of
these is as expensive as is neglect of the
material interests of tn community.
A county needs bridge across a
stream, but because of the added cost re-
fuses to build AS a result, the people of
the community are put to unnecessary
trouble and expense entirely out of pro-
portion to the small added cost. A pike
road should be repaired, but the war in
terferes and the road is left to grow
worse and worse, with the result that
good road goes down in the mud and will
have to be entirely rebuilt in the future.
Every business man or manufacturer
knows the keen foresight necessary to
keep any business up to the standard of
the times. He know that constant vigil
ance is necessary to prevent deterioration
and decay. The business man who io-
lakes on maintenance because of slight
increase in the cost of repairs, is the man
who must sooner or later make the ac-
quaintance of the sheriff
Just so with the peoples business
The community that keeps up with the
demands of the times, even though It tiocs
require greater effort and an added cut
lay in expense, is the community that
when the heavy demands are made upon
its facilities is able to meet them
There is, also, the added reason that if
we wait until times grow better we may
have to wait very long time indeed. The
prospects of lower prices on the necessi-
ties of ne are In the dim and distant ttl-
ture. ne scarcity of labor, instead of re-
Taxing, Halmost sure to intensity for
some time to come.

not here yet, and until it does come we
should strain every nerve in the effort to
place our country in the first rank of eff
ficiency The efficiency of the country is
already being put to a very severe test,
and the test will grow harder and harder
as the war drags on. The only way we
can successfully meet this test is by keep
ourselves and our facilities up to the top
