RHYMES ON CONSERVING.
Genevieve Parsons.

Little Jack Horner sat in corner
Eating his wheat and rye. -
He stuck in his thumb but pulled out
no plum,
And said, What a conserver am !.
Little Miss Muffet sat on q tuffet
Eating wheat and preserves;
Along came Hoover and how he did
scold her;
And now Miss Muffet cOnserves.
Little Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean:
But between them both they DO con-
serve
And lick the platter clean.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cookie shells
And knitting bags all in row.

WAY MAY BE GOOD FOR THE CAT

Strangely enough experience at the war front

would be their last. 49,. .,,-
More remarkable still, they've adopted the
black cat as mascot and luck bringer, beastie
which hitherto, almost throughout the world, has
been ace-high as harbinger Of calamity. Ships
hav gone without crews and wedding ceremonies

served as unruly nephew to dear maiden lady
aunt who would wade tamarack swamp and
swim an ice gorged creek in March before she'd
meet black cat coming down perfectly passabe

bites of black cats would fill large library. Yet,
the boys in battle array provide themselves with
black cats of "lucky' metal and nothing 50 cheers

We can see some grounds for making 80" a

DAY will more truly help the cause OF human ~
erty than investing in this third LIBERTY LOAN.
The amount may be small, so dollars, If that is
all that you can spare from your present surplus
and your future earnings; the investment IS the
safest in the world today; the money returns are
as large as can be realized from any investment
approaching in point of security, and the liberty
returns are unfathomable.
The money you invest will bring victory "over
there 1t win be your dollars which armed the
boys going "over the top in the charge when
drove the fear Of God into the heart OF the in
human Hun.
1t will be your dollars which will keep from
starvation some boy, maybe your boy, your neigh
boris boy
You are not spending the money: You are not
giving it to your country, as hundreds OF thou-
sands of our young are offering of their life
blood You are merely LOANlNG your dollars
and you will be repaid with interest. You are not
sending all your dollars into foreign countries
Practically all the money which will be invested IN
this third LIBERTY LOAN will be used right here
in the United States to buy Of food grown by our
farmers. and of manufactured equipment made by
our workers.
1t is safe, profitable and patriotic to subscribe
for LIBERTY LOAN bonds down to the last dollar
you now have and can save in the next year.
Why not be Americans in the truest and big
gest sense by doing it early? Let US deliver
double blow at the kaiser by showing him that we,
one ana ALL are SLdIlulIlS SIlOulOcA W "1s
Wilson and Pershing in this war WE CAN 20
THIS BY TAKING UP THE ENTIRE ISSUE OF
THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN ON LIBERTY
DAY!
That is a mark worthy to aim at At such a
mark Washington and Lincoln would have aimed.
At such mark our president hopes all Americans
will now aim. What wonderful thing for our
childrens children to retell-the subscribing OF
the whole issue of the third Liberty Loan in one
day, and THAT DAY, LIBERTY DAY!
Then, indeed, we could look squarey into the
eyes of those who march away from us to go
cover there" and truthfully say:
I'VE are going to stand back Of you all the
time you are away. Our dollars will help you win
in that fiery hell of battle into which you may be
thrust by your enemy and ours!"
And then each OF us having subscribed for his
or her share of this Third Liberty Loan on LIB
ERTY DAY, may celebrate LIBERTY DAY.
1t comes on the SIXTH OF APRIL, the first
anniversary of Americas declaration of war.

small and remote. It is as serene
and untouched by the hurry of the
world as II was in those great DAYS
long ago when Gen. Washington was
here and held leisurely conference
with the men who were TO be asso-
ciated with him in the creation OF
a nation. From these gentle slopes
they looked out upon the world and
saw IL whole, saw it with the light
OF the future upon it, saw it with
modern eyes that turned away from
past which men Of liberated spirits
could no longer endure. II is for
that reason that We cannot feel.

President Answers All PeaceFeee Great Address Delivered
At the Tomb of Washington in Americas Second Declaration
OF independence On Nations Birthday.

Of people which wished 20 be done
with classes and special interests
and the authority Of men whom they
had not themselves chosen to rule
over them. They entertained no pri-
vate purpose, desired no peculiar
privilege. They were consciously
planning that men Of every class
should be free and America a place
TO which men out Of every nation
with them the rights and privileges
Of free men And we take our cue
from them,-do we not? We intend
what they intended. We here In
America believe our participation in
the present war 10 be only the fruit

differs from theirs only in this. that
IL is our fnestimable privilege TO con-
cert with men out Of every nation
what shall make not only the liber-
ties of America secure but the lib
critics Of every other people as we'll.
We are happy in the thought that
we are permitted TO do what they
would have done had they been in
our place. There must now be set
tied once for all what was settled
for America in the great age upon
whose inspiration we draw today.
This is surely a fitting place from
which calmly to look out upon our
task, that we may fortify our spirits
for its accomplishment And this
Is the appropriate place from which

look on and 10 the friends with
whom we have the happiness to be
associated in action, the faith and
purpose with which we act.

Must Destroy Autocracy

WASHINGTON. July From
the shadow Of Washingtons tomb
PRIEST Wilson today offered Amer
ica's declaration Of independence 10
the peoples OF the world with a
pledge that the United States and
it's allies will not sheath the sword
in the war against the central
powers until there "is settled once
and for air for the world what was
settled for America In 1876.
Foreign born citizens OF the
United States. SO nauonalities who
had placed wreaths of palms on the
tomb in token or fealty 10 the prin-
ciples laid down by the father OF
his country. cried their approval Of
his words in many languages and
then stood with reverentlY barred
heads while the voice Of John Nc
Cormack scared over the hallowed
ground in the notes OF the star
Spangled Banner"
Washington Spoke for All.
Washington and his associates,
like the barons at Runnymede,
spoke and acted not for a class. but
for a people, the president said.
1T has been left for US 70 see TO
IL that IL shall be understood that
they spoke and acted, not for a
single people only. but for all man
kind. We here in America believe
our participation in this present war
10 be only the fr-litage OF what they
planted.
There can be but one issue. The
settlement mus1 be final There can
be no compromise.
What we seek is the reign OF
law based on the consent of the
governed and sustained by the or
ganized opinion Of mankind"
The speakers words as ne en-
phasized the least which America
will consider as a basis for peace
were interrupted by a tumult of ap-
plause and words of approval in
many tongues The demonstration
swept beyond the wall Of khaki clad
marines TO the thousands of Amer
leans scattered over the hills and
through the woods surrounding
Washington's home.
Peace Cor All Peoples.
Elabora1ing the purposes for
which the associated peoples Of the
world" are fighting, the president
reiterated that peace can be made
only when the central powers agree
10 the destruction of milHarism. the
consent of the governed for all re-
adjustments, tie sacredness of
treaties and the organization of a
league Of peace lie further fore

powers may make by announcing
that the purpose for which the
United States is sending millions Of
its men 20 the trenches may not be
fulfilled around a council table.
These great ends cannot be
achieved by debating" the president
asserted. and seeking to reconcile
and accommodate what statesmen
may wish. with their projects for
balances OF power and Of national
opportunity. They can be realized
only By the distribution of what the
thinking peoples Of the world de-
sire with their longing hope for
Justice and for social freedom and
