SHALL COLUMBIA LAGl

Columbia has fallen short OF expec-
tations in the Fourth Liberty Loan
campaign.
Some country districts in the county
went over the top during the Nolun-
teer Days, and two towns in the coun-
ty, Rocheport and Ashland, exceeded
their quotas by Wednesday night. Cen
tralia is nearly up to its quota Of 500
$50. Yet Columbia still has one
third of its quota to fill.
The quotas have been compiled and
apportioned according to the wealth
of the towns and, while Columbia S
quota is much larger than that of any
other town in the county, it is justified
by Columbia's larger population. Co
lumbia shoul dnot lag behind the
others in subscribing her quota.
If, in accordance with the statement
of II. H. Banks, county chairman, the
weak spot is with the small size of
the subscriptions of the richer men.
these person should come forward and
by adding to their first subscriptions,
put Columbia over the top where 1t
ought to be.

PEACE FOR TURKEY

Reports continue to come from un=
official sources that Turkey is about
to sue for peace. If the peace pro-
posaI does not come within a few
days, it is only a matter of time until
Turkey will be forced to lay down her
arms.
The surrender of Bulgaria has al
most cut Turkey off from her allies.
By cutting the Vienna-Constantinople
railway, the Allies will sever the prin-
cipaI connection between Germany
and Austria Hungary and the Turkish
capital. In addition Constantinople
is now open to an attack by land.
Germany is trying to prevent the
Allies from gaining full benefit of the
Bulgarian surrender by rushing troops
into that country. But in so doing,
the line on the Western Front is weak
ened and at this time, retreating on
every side Germany can little afford
to weaken there.
Turkish defeat is almost complete
in Palestine and Persia now.
If Turkey is granted a peace, it
should be on the most stringent terms.
That nation has long outraged civil
ization and humanity by its bloody
persecution of the Armenians and 9TH
er peoples under its control.

The kaiser while watching an air
plane demonstration recently con-
graduated German aviatOrs upon their
splendid maneuvering. He would con-
graduate them again if he could have
seen the hasty maneuvering they were
compelled to do to avoid being wiped
out by American birdmen. In fifty

thirty-three German planes were
brought down by Americans with out
the loss of a single American aviator.

Health, Beauty and Happiness for Women

Extract from an article published in the

,THOS. A. ASEIBY. of Baltimore. Nd:
The Capon Spring Water belongs to the
class of Alkaline Carbonated Waters which
rank high in therapeutic value, and include
many of the most noted waters in this country
and Europe. 1t is similar in its effects. though
quicker and more positive in its action. than
the Vichy of France and the Carlsbad of
Germany.
The groups of diseases in which Capon
Spring Water will be found beneficial are
those affecting the digestive organs, the uri-
nary organs and the reproductive organs. In
dyspepsia, constipation and disorders of the
liver, accompanied by torpid and unhealthy
hillary secretion. the water may be used with
marked advantage. This is especially true of
that form of dyspepsia in which there is an
excess Of acid secretion, or in those catarrhal
troubles which occasion 50 much annoyance
and render life burdensome. The laxative
action of the water has a tendency to over
come the severe forms Of constipation and to

A Woman's War of Scorn

There are worse fates than being shot at sunrise.
One such fate is to be woman Stacker and live in Oak Park, out
in Illinois.
Rivers of ink and oceans of tears have been splattered over "a
mar without a country, 4" a wandering Jew" leper outcasts, pariahs
and homeless dogs-but their sorrows are mild compared to those
pro-German ladies in Oak Park.
Oak Park is a mere village, tremendously fashionable withal,
but still a village, and of its few thousand fanatics, all of whom are
rfrst, " 200 sons are in khaki and it claims the national record for
commissioned officers.
Oak Park women feel a natural interest in the war and they in
tend to give their fighters their solid support. When they say solid
they include, undivided, complete, unbroken and unanimous sup
port. They had heard about women slackers but they never intend
10 meet one.
The head of the Red Cross, as leader, has declared a state Of
war on all women who play bridge, golf, indulge in other amuSe-
ments during afternoons which should be devoted to surgical dress
ings, knitting, and war gardens. The cost of ignoring the will of the
majority and chnging to selfish pleasure is to be- SOCIAL OSTRA-
ClSMi Which, in Oak Park is equivalent to disgraceful death and
secret burial
To check up the loyal women workers the Red Cross COMMITTEES
arranged a loyalty parade for which all village business was gus-
pended. 1t was announced that "There will be but one ground for
exemption from marching in the parade. All pro-Germans may
stay out"
To women not already engaged in Red Cross work, knitting, or
signed up on the pledge for a war garden the following statement
is made:
"The only legitimate excuse for not doing wark work is en-
ployment during the day, sickness, or very small children. just what
everything but their very souls and they are finding them. These
boysrae teaching the world the real meaning of sacrifice, and there
are none of us too good or too high even to shine their boots.
"Yet you will not respond to the call sent out for workers. Do
you think you are really worth fighting fort If you cannot give
time TO make hospital garments or surgical dressings you are too I'M

lady who suffered for her faith dur

father, a pagan, attempted to per-

but all his pleadings were in vain. On
refusing to sacrifice to idols her child

Although the national flag will be
displayed In great profusion in Nor
way today, and the people will enjoy

sixth birthday of King Haakon VII,
that monarch will entertain no illu-
sions in regard to the nature of the
sentiment which prompts public re-
joicing. While personally popular
among his so-called subjects" Haa-
kon fully realizes hat the people are

he has about as much influence as his
valet or his coachman. There is for
him the consolation, however, that in
being shorn of all his influence and
power he has shared the fate of all of
the Scandinavian monarchs, for his
brother, Christian X of Denmark, and
his n~eighbor, Gustaf V of Sweden, are
no less figureheads hat himself. When
the three Scandinavian monarchs met
at Malmo, Sweden, In December of
1914 to form a protective alliance,
Haakon again proved his democracy
by taking lodging n the house OF a
shipbuflder's widow, while his brother
Christian was the guest of a physician.
Haakon VII, who was Prince
Charles Of Denmark before his cleo
ton to the Norwegian throne over a
decade ago, Is the second SON OF the
late King Frederick VIII of Denmark.
The former Dowager Empress of Rus
STA n the former Queen of England,
Alexandra, are his aunts, and ex-king
Constantine of Greece is his cousin.
He Is further related to the British
royal family by marriage, Queen
Maud being the third daughter of the
late King Edward VII of Great Bril-
tain. The King and Queen have only
n child, Crown Prince Olav, now
fifteen years old. When he assembled
the Norwegian throne thirteen years
ago King axe was given little
power of authority and he has gradu-
ally been deprived of all his royal
rights.
