hundreds OF negroes had gathered
around two cars OF soft coal. They

Mayor Jewett knew nothing about it

Some OF the negroes worked fast

HIS BACK TO THE
WALL; HELP HIM

Today Uncle Sans boys are
on the fighting line-right in
the midst of the blood and car
mage. At this moment good
American youths are facing the
power-crazed German hordes.
Perhaps today score of our
brave lads were killed or wound
ed. Hundreds we know. are
facing privations and suffering.
Shall we at home limit our in
terest to pity for them? No
they do not ask or want it. The
boys in khaki have gone to
their task willingly, most of
them enthusiastically. Many of
them are volunteers; all of
them awaited the call with
a ready spirit. The American
soldier realizes he is doing a
stern duty, and he does it with
a will, as he does everything
else. When his sense of duty
drives him to extra effort, and
inspires him to supreme cour-
age, he doesn't give his lit, HE
GIVES ALL.
The American soldier, like all
red-biooded Americans, hates a
traitor, pities a coward, and de-
spises a Stacker. Of all our
troops now in France, and the
millions that are to follow,
there will be no towards or
slackers. From the reports of
Gen. Pershing we have yet to
learn from "over there" of the
first deliberate Stacker. And
now, with all these things in
view, it is unthinkable that we,
with every energy and every
dollar at our command, shall
even for q moment hesi-
tate to back the brave boys,
many of them personally known
to us, to the extreme limit.
Liberty and freedom gave US
the opportunity to be prosper
Gus and comfortable, and now
with our Toys at the front, Civ
ing their all to preserve to US
these privileges, in the name of
reason, shall we hesitate to
back them, not with a few dol
lars, given grudgingly, but with
our financial life-blood, if neces-
sary? Don't stop to argue and
debate about the causes of the
war, and how we might have
stayed out of it, and listen to
pacifists, but look the grim
truth in the face: THERE IS
A MAD DOG RUNNING
AMUCK, AND 1T MUST BE
KILLED. This rabies-infected
animal is biting only your
neighbor and his children at
present, but it can be here in a
week. IF WE FAIL, 1T WILL
TAKE THE GERMAN FLEET
BUT ONE WEEK TO REACH
THESE SHORES.
Graham guardian., 1918-05-03

"Why should we American
women be shielded and kept
from doing the work that
French and English women
have done?" This is the ques-
tion being asked by Miss Grace
Parker, who was sent to Europe
to investigate woman's war
work on the other side of the
Atlantic. Miss Parker points
out that one million English
women are making ammunition,
that several hundreds Of
sands are workJag on me =.
that they are performing every
kind of labor needed to build a
battle ship; that ten thousand
are working in France behind
the firing line; that twelve
thousand are acting as motor
drivers; that within ten days of
the declaration Of war sixty
thousand nurses were enlisted.
AT her meeting in Dallas re-
Gently Miss Parker's question
was applauded vehemently.
This was to he expected of
Southern womanhood.
There Ia a work into which
the woman Of tho Southwest
can throw all those energies
which they would gladly ex-
tend in more arduous and dan
gerous tasks. They can secure
for the Government a huge
over-subscription to the Liberty
Loan. This will send food and
ammunition to our soldiers and
to our Allies. Will build ships,
help to crush Germany and so
achieve the object of every true
American woman. Do the duty |
that arises clearly defined be-
fore you, and the same credit |
will be due as to the over-alled,
dirt-stained sister on the 9TH
er side. In the army of Democ-
racy some must go "over the
top-some must engage in the
prosaic work of mule driving
some making ammunition-oth-
ers again must provide the
money. All are necessary. Do
your part and you will share
equally in that glorious tri
umph which must one day b.
ours. Women of the South
west, we look to our men to
subscribe the Liberty Loan quo
ia. We look to you to double it.

SNAPPY THOUGHTS
From Liberty Loan Speeches.

Gentlemen, l never made q
speech in my life and 'aint goin'
to now, all l say is.-we're in it
let's win it."
Don't say you got no money.
II you 'aint got none, 60 borrow
some"
I'VE are going to try William
Hohenzollern for murder in
this Church next Wednesday.
You are summoned on the jury
and there will be a heavy pen
atty if you do not attend"
"A Chinaman went to one of
our banks last week and said,
Me buy Lib'ly Bond What
you want to buy one for, john
said the Cashier, just to make
conversation. Why no buy7'
said John"
There Is only one reason
why every man in America
should buy Liberty Bonds
should 60 in rags to do it
should starve himself, if neces-
sary to do it. And that
Is because it is the right
thing to do. What is the
difference whether Liberty
Bonds pay four and one-quarter
per cent. interest or no interest
at all? 1t is the duty of every
American to buy them.
Defeat would mean ruin 70
The farmer; it would mean tax
alton to a point which would
mean slavery to German mas
ters."
THE war is a Family Affair

Us have earned the affection and
protection that is due to a son.
They have earned the right to
