spLENDIDLY REoRGANIzED

The Pennington Tire Works, which
was reorganized few weeks ago,
with j. W. Ingram as manager, has
now gotten all tho old accumulation of
work cleaned up and out of the way,
and is prepared to give to all patrons
the best possible work, which is al
ways guaranteed TO stand. The, new
management is always pleased to
make any readjnstments to bring the
work up to the guarantee.
Under the old management of this
company more or less dissatisfaction
grew up over failure to make good"
on some of the work that was not
properly turned out Such feeling has
worked more or less hardship on the
new management in their desire and
determination to have only satisfied
customers. But the new management
is doing everything possible to clear
up all such differences that have aris-
en- in regard to work, even though the
present management was in no way
responsible. al

day from Greencreek. Father
Baerlocher, assisted by the three
trustees-Barney Stubbers, John
F. Nuxoll and John P. Jentges-
are raising a fund in the Catholic
parish and school of Greencreek
with which to buy Liberty bonds
and war savings stamps. So far
the parish has collected over $500
for Liberty bonds and the school
over $500 for savings stamps, with
good prospects to raise much
more.

AND
CONSERV ALTON

Last year at this time the great cry
was conservation. This year it is
thrift. Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
of the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the order
of the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
its money wisely The nation is being
shown the Importance of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as a rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired,
notes to be met, fertilizer to be pur-
chased, harness, lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so well paid for
their produce that they are now "on
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern
ment is practical protest against the
plans of greedy, INSCRIPTIONS, soul
less power intent on world conquest
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period of war and bring
nearer the day of universal and
enduring peace.

own land, haul grain or drive stock
to town, it would have done only a
little more than it accomplished bv
it's interdict against the freedom of
the sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went in
to this war? Look at the condition of
the American farmer in the latter
part of 1914 and the first half of 1915
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for while the use of the sea as
highway. And the farmers of
America faced ruin. l know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop of g..
900 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
bushel. Farmers In the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro.
ducing 1t. All this time those Dor
tions of the world whose ports were
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms. But
it never returned for the farmers of
those nations which remained cut of
from ocean traffic.
Take the case of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage to Australia,
So in spite of the efforts of the Gov.
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out.
break of the war until now if our
Government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword.
Why did We draw the sword? To
keep up the price of wheat and cot
ton. and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
| lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops? By no means! You would
fight to the last gasp! Not to make
money, but to be free!
When a man Is enslaved, all he
loses in money is his wages. But the
white man has never been able to ac-
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaVed. There rises up
in him against servitude a resentment
so terrible that death always is pref
cradle.

to the citizens Of Idaho to do
their utmost for Its success. The

two previous Loans will be exceed
ed II Senator Borah's suggestion
Is followed by the residents Of
Idaho. Here Is what he urges:
This Is not a war of armies as
other wars have been fought. It Is
a war Of nations and that nation
will win whose people are best
organized, most thoroughly united
In spirit and purpose and most
willing to contribute to the full
extent of their means to aid In the

at Is no longer a matter of
doubt that It is this Republic that
must be the determining factor In
the war. The other nations with
which we are associated have
about reached their limit of power
and sacrifice. It Is up to US to
end the conflict and to achieve
victory. Let US lend our credit to
the full extent of our ability to
the Government. Let US In that
way support the best we can the
brave boys at the front. Nothing
will be so insuring to victory as a

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
cially loves peace. Since the dawn or
history, the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All That
he possesses lies out Of doors In PLAIN
sight and is spoil of war-his house,
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations of farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which Will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally to the colors as quickly as can
the jewellers in the cities, because 1t
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city jewellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast OF the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand it's meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their acquaintances. Instead
of reading half dozen extras a day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time in a
sudden emergency to make up his
mind.
It is impossible to set the farmers
Of the United States on fire by means
Of any sudden spark of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
4 slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across NO-Man' s
Land in the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he is to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
lot Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
.obbed us of our cattle or horses. No
saber-rattlers insulted our women. 1t
seemed to many of us that we were
lot at war-the thing was so far off
We did not realize what giant war
lad become-a monster with thou
land arms that could reach across the
,eas and take from us three-fourths OF
verifying we grew. But finally we
saw that 1t was so.
II the Imperial German government

OVER THE TOP
SHALL WE SEE 1T
THROUGH OR QUIT?

The Government is finding it nee
essary to call upon us three times
within year to provide by subscrip-
tions to Liberty Loans, sums of money
hitherto considered of fabulous pro-
portions. These facts should i'm
press upon us as no mere words
could do, the intense seriousness, the
stern necessities, of the situation.
Continued acquaintance with the
more serious aspects of life is apt to
breed indifference, and to distort our
mental vision. AS the soldier shud
ders with horror at his first sight
of carnage, but later becomes hard.
ened, so are we apt to become COM
placent under conditions which call
actually for increasingly strenuous
effort.
The Liberty Loan with It's original
Accomplishments of novelty and noise
appealed to our national love of a
new sensation. In the Third Cam.
paign much of the novelty will be
lacking, but the serious purpose be-.
hind the campaign will have grown.
Our money was needed when both
the First and Second Liberty Loans
were floated, but it will be more than
ever needed when the Third Loan
is called for. Our army has grown,
our national payroll has grown, the
needs of our allies have grown, the
necessity of forever banishing the un,
speakable menace of Prussianism has
grown. No longer can we hope that
the entrance of this country into the
struggle will induce an early peace
More arrogant, more desperate than
even the German Government puts
forward its impossible claims upon the
rights and life of humanity.
Our Government in it's growing need
is calling upon us to give up our
Injuries, is conscripting the lives OF
our sons, is controlling trade, labor
and prices, with an ever increasing
earnestness and firmness of pur
pose.
The test of our personal strength
of character and determination is al
hand. Your Government pleads with
you very earnestly to preach and
practice both before and during the
next Liberty Loan Campaign stead
fastness of purpose, an unselfish pa
triotism, which shall reflect the spirit
of man who having set his hand
to the execution of necessary task
would rather lose that hand than
draw it back. This is the spirit OF
our President, of our allies-it is
surely our own.
