The Indications are that the federal
treasury will be more prompt in the
delivery of the third liberty loan bonds
than it has been in that of previous
|loans. Financial concerns in the east
ALREADY are advertising that they have
the bonds ready for immediate deliv-
Jerry to cash customers. This fact should
help the sale of the bonds. Many
PERSONS prefer to see what they buy
when they buy it.

ON THE SPUR
OF THE MOMENT
BY ROY K. MOULTON

Little Slice o. Life.
Next door to us lives a beautiful
Young maiden whose fiance has
Gone away to the sanguinary wars
OF late she has been very nervous,
Like all the rest of us, concerning
The great German drive in France.
The situation has been painful.
But, in spite of her nervousness.
The young lady has been hopeful.
She has Kept saying to us:
Never mind, the tide will turn soon.
Well teach those roughnecks lesson
That they will not soon forget"
Today she burst in upon us, radiant.
She almost screamed: Its all right.
We are safe at last. The Germans
Will advance no further. Look
She showed us a cablegram which said
arrived safe. Jack"
So It's all over now and we are saved.
Gosh. 1t must be fine to feel
The way that girl feels about Jack.
If every lamppost on Main street Is
decorated with a strafer, it will be the
last word in up-to-date civic improve

The registration list compiled by
the war service committee has been
extremely useful both to the govern
ment and to the Red Cross. It has en-
tabled the latter to secure experienced
physicians for service abroad at mo-
ment's notice, and it has enabled the
war department to obtain many skilled
tbacteriologists, anesthetists. radiolog-
lists and laboratory experts-which
positions have been opened to women.
So far. American medical women have
been refused admittance to the army
medical department, which has been
disappointment to them. but which
has not kept them from rendering i'm
portant service just the same.
Early in December the American
women's hospitals offered a base hos
Immediately accepted it. There is a
serious shortage of physicians in
France, the majority of them having
entered the army. and France has
gladly accepted the services of women
refused by other countries. Indeed.
so very serious is this shortage that
the government is paying the living
expenses of French women students
who are taking medical courses. I'm
der these circumstances, the gift of
base hospital. fully equipped and
manned, is apt to be appreciated.
This particular hospital is for wo-
men and children refugees. 1t con-

of a well-equipped motor-truek and

made up entirely of women.
The American women's hospitals
are now raising money to establish
similar hospitals all thru the devastat-
ed regions of France. This is what
the British medical women did. They
offered their services, which the Brit
ish war office had refused. to France,
and proceeded to make themselves so
valuable that the war office apollo
gized and ordered them home. Now
all the military hospitals in England
are in charge of women physicians.
Thus the American medical women
are looking forward to their work in
France as an opportunity to show
what they can do.

Take Care of Your Horses

The winter has been a hard one,
and many animals, being in poor
condition, need special care. Mango
is very prevalent in New England. A
thorough use of vinegar will cure it,
and stalls, blankets, harness, ETC.,
should be disinfected.

quarters in which your cows, ewes
and mares can bring forth their
young. Navel Ill comes from dirt.

LIEUTENANT VICKERS
FINDS SUPERSTITION
Aviator Over in France Gets Much
Fun Out OF Superstitions of
French Comrades

The following, which is a portion
of letter Mrs. Thomas j. FiGkers
has recently received from her son,
Lieutenant Luke Vickers, reveals
the fact that, despite the seriousness
of the work in which he is engaged,
he is deriving considerable fun from
it, and the associations in connec-
ton with it. The letter, as will be
seen, deals with the French super
stitions, and also shows that Lieut..
Vickers is disposed TO accept their
point Of view The letter follows:
Manual will never laugh at your
being superstitious. The French pi-
lots are the most superstitious bunch
in the world, and you can't blame
them much either. They wear
wrist bands of silver with their name
and organization and the rest OF the

chains that rattle like a Gypsy for
tune-teller's bracelets. Practically
all the Americans have followed

is the helmet. The devil couldn't

sor the stock.

for the stock.
A gradual change from hay to
grass is best, but, if you are bound
to make the change at once, turn the
stock out at night, instead OF In the
morning. Then they will feed thru
the night. and not lie down until the
sun has warmed the air and the
ground.
Get your horses into condition Tor
the hard spring work-the young
horses especially. Many a colt has
been ruined ybeing put to hard
work without preparation. 1t is the
same with green horses.
Look out for sore shoulders and
backs, especially in blowing. Be sure
that your collars fit. A collar too
big is as bad as one too small. Ii
the collar rides up, use a martin
gale, or a girth running from trace
to trace, back of the forelegs.
When the horses are at work on
warm day, lift up the collars now
and then to cool their shoulders, and
wine off the sweat and dirt with
bunch of grass.
Wipe off the harness marks on
your horses when you stop work at
noon and at night, and clean the
inside of the harness, the collars es-
pecially. The salt sweat, drying on
the skin and on the harness, is what
makes the trouble.
If the skin is wrinkled under the
collar or saddle, battle it with witch
hazel. If the skin is broken, bathe
it with clean warm water containing
little salt. Fix the collar, with
padding or otherwise, so that it will
not touch the sore spot the next day.
| A little carelessness at the beginning
may cause a lot of trouble to you
and suffering to the horse.
Clean your horses at night, water
them, give them a good bed, and wa
ter them again after they have eaten
their hay. Let them rest an hour or
more before they are grained. The
observance of these simple rules will
not cost you a cent, and will make
a big difference in their condition.
