As MASkS MUST RE READY
AGAINST GERMAN ATTACKS

During tho summer which has jus.
passed. the written signs at all the
roads and ruined streets have been
greatly multiplied. and these insc:ip-
tons have everywhere become one of
the cha racteristici of our devastated
districts. Usually they arc great black
bands on the walls with enormous
white letters and arrows that may be
read quickly. without the loss Of a
minute in indecision, for one is always
in 4 hurry on these roads where often
death Gallops NJ your heels. 'To such
Il city" the big letters cry out TO You
from the black background. or ITO
such a village" But. alas! the cities
and villages thus designated are no
longer in existence. nothing remain
OF them but heaps Of crushed stone.
Which retain but the vague outline.
1t is sad TO read these names. They
might almost he compared with Cpl
taphs in a great cemetery. And to make
the cross roads more tragic. a certai.

self, in it's essence, is designed to "sel- ect," and there is no reason why the parasite whose health and physical strength are exceeded only by his use- lessness, should not be taken into the army before the youth who is engag- ed in a useful occupation, is called. There are thousands of young men who are too indolent to seek employ ment or to keep it if 1t is handed to them on a platter.
 It is this type of man who should be forced into the army without fur ther consideration, At no time is there really a place for the drone in this country. Particularly in time of war. when the whole energy of the nation is required to meet the emergency, the industrial shirker is out of his ele- ment.

ALL OVER this great common wealth today neighbor is smiting neighbor hip and thigh at the polls The glorious privilege of wasting a days time to spend five minutes vot- ing for the candidate of your choice is presented to the horny listed man who is the bulwark of the nation. For the next few days Papa's temper will be on a hair trigger and Mamma will caution the children to be quiet, for his favorite candidate is running close and the strain is terrible. But next week or month, business will resume as usual; the folks next door will drop in again for hand at rummy' and peace will settle over the war torn community until another cleo tion.

HE NEVER CHANGES

Several years ago Mir. Dooley. the Chicago Irish philosopher, expressed his opinion of our hyphenated citi- ems as follows: "I'm not prejudiced agin thim; they make good beer an citizens an moderate policemen, an they are proud of their families, but they are always Dutch. Ye cuddent make Americans av thim if ye called thim all Perkins and brot thim up in Worcester. A German niver rally leaves Germany. He takes it along with him. Whin an Irishman is four miles out at sea he is as much an American as a preserved fish. But a German is niver an American except whin he goes back to Germany to see his relatives"

PUT SOUL OF AMERICA
 INTO WAR, SAYS HAYS

HELENA: "I do not appeal to Am ericans from any altruistic standpoint or ideal, but as practical successful men of affairs" said Will H. Hays chairman of the republican national committee, speaking here today on be. half of the Liberty bonds. Let us put the soul of America into this war. II has not been touched as yet. Let us have a little more every day of that love of country that counts not costs. '
 E. c. Day, one of the most promi- nent democrats of the state, introduc- ed MT. Hays.
 Preceding the liberty loan meet ing the national chairman conferred with the members of the state central committee.

THE TRUE test of patriotism IS in deeds, not words. The most patriotic man is he who takes his gun and goes to fight the German menace. The next is the man who, finding he cannot fight gives liberally of his funds to help the cause. Bringing up the rear is the class who claps whenever they see the flag at the movies, and who are indignant if their neighbor does not stand when the Star Spangled Banner" is played, but who really oo nothing but talk to help the war; and really talk is the least thing the coun- trv needs at the present time.

GULL OUT THE IDLERS

The governments plan to cull out the idlers in the draft lists and send them to the training camps before their turn is commendable. It is be- ing fostered by the provost marshal generals office and also the depart ment of labor and is said to have the approval of the president. In fact about the only individuals who may find reason to oppose it will be the loafers.
 One of the minor faults found with the selective service law was that it did not seem to reach the pool room and bar room stacker. Yet the law it.

GREEN FIELDS

The things hardest to get are al- ways the most desirable. The fields in the dim perspective the greenest. The fruit on the topmost bough the most luscious. That which is closest to our gaze shows up it's faults more dis tinctly, and so on ad infinitum. The Prospector could undoubtedly do a better business and receive greater appreciation if it were located in some other town; the stores of this city would receive more praise for the goods they handle, and the customers would receive better attention, were each in some other place. We each try to, camouflage ourselves into be- lieving that which the other fellow has is the most precious. The man with a Venus of Milo for a wife will turn to the arms of saleratus-color- ed slattern; the fellow with boat wants an auto; the man with the au- to would be satisfied with boat But tu0 ldCl TcIudluS tudI OAC SnAuOt CoI his cake and have it. You cannot take a dollar out of your pocket and still have it to spend. The influential citizen who takes a jaunt to the States and loads up with merchandise is paying. high price for it when one considers the loss of trade to the stores at home, the dwindling popu- lation, the discontented people, the dirty, slovenly, ill-kept streets and sidewalks: all show the evil of sleep ing in one town and doing business in another.
 Business is the life of city. The greater volume of business done the more life. The big bank deposits, the crowded stores, all show faith in ones town. And without faith ones works accomplish little.

In a friendly fashion ever since her

her to ask for the summer to make her

gone, and the man, as well as the girl,
knew that she was no nearer a

After dinner Rosemary went driv-
ing with Mr.. DuQuesne. She drove her
own high-spirited horse, and her frank
enjoyment Of the exercise revealed to
the man that she was quite uncon-
scious Of his own poorly concealed de-
light in her girlish charm. He decided
that his only hope Of success was to
get the girl away from the atmosphere
Of her home. BY the time they re-
turned he had persuaded her to spend
fortnight with his sister In their
camp in the Berkshires. But he took
scant encouragement from her consent
to the trip, for she sprang from the
carriage with cry of delight. On
the porch sat a great blue bowl full
Of wonderful blue flowers, blue even
through the dusk of the fall evening.

October, and leaves lying in sodden
heaps beneath the blrches of Tawny
Hill. Knee-deep in the rust-red- well
ter stood Rosemary Damarel. Behind
her Tawny creek curled about the
stepping stones on which the girl had
just crossed. Before her was q mass
Of sky-blue flowers. Ten minutes be-
fore, Rosemary, on her way to the
village to mail letter to her father,
had noticed the blue note. Now, her
arms full Of blue-fringed gentian, she
ruefully heard five booming strokes
of the town clock. The mail would
close in IS minutes.
Rosemary tilted out on the stepping
stones. Midway gust of wind smote
her in the face, tore her coil of gold
bronze hair loose and whipped 1t in
her eyes. A second and the girl was
pitched headlong into the creek. She
struggled up, waist-deep in the swirl
Ing water. Slowly, fighting the tug
of the water, she was sucked toward

"Skurry to the post with this, Les

1t tomorrow"
Five minutes later she vaulted the
pasture bars into the road just as
black car came ramping along.
Rosemary Rosemary Damarel!"
came an astounded voice. In q twink

and whisked along at breakneck speed.
Half an hour later Rodney DuQuesne

for Rosemary. He was junior member
of the law firm in which Rosemary's
