What Our Women Have Done

Ever since September, 1917, the
women Of the Punta Gorda Red
Cross Chapter have been knitting
for the army and navy. Up to
date, SO sweaters have been turn
ed in, SO pairs of socks, 81 mufflers
and 90 pairs of wristlets. Of these,
there were 6 sweaters, 6 muffiers
and 13 pairs of wristlets sent to
the navy league in Tampa for the
sailors of the battleship "Flori-
d."
At the time of this writing,
sweaters are valued at from 500
to $500. A writer in The Saturday
Evening Post says that local de-
partment store in his city asks
$500 a pair for hand-knitted
socks, which he had been able to
buy in Canada for the last Is
years for so cents a pair. A muf-
fer takes as much wool as a sweat
err. With these figures as a basis,
we have done close to $1500.00
worth of knitted articles, an ex-
ceedingly good record for three
months work. These figures
though, are too exaggerated, and
we will be quite content to cut the
$1500.00 down one-half and then
be satisfied.
The women visitors to our town
have given valuable assistance in
doing this knitted work. Our To-
cal Chapter greatly appreciates
the whole-hearted way that these
ladies have responded to our APP
peal for money in last weeks is
sue of The Herald, we have been
most agreeably cheered by the
generous contributions we have re-
ceived. Several gave $1,000 and
one of our winter visitors gave a
check for $4,000 and told us to
ask for more when we needed it.
II we women needed an incentive
sor greater endeavor, this generos-
ty OF our men folks is supplying

LESSONS OF THE LIBERTY
LOAN
Financial Expert Brings to Light
the Significance of the Re-
cent Campaign

Now that the second Liberty
Loan is an accomplished fact, we
can look back and estimate its sig
Inifcance, both spiritual and ma
terial, to the United States Boer-
sianer, the analyst of finance,
writing in the January number of
Hearst's Magazine, tells us that it
is the largest subscription in the
annals of finance, whether made
by a government or private firm.
From the moral and the financial
momentum accumulated, as well
as from the almost inexhaustible
resources of the country, he finds
it only natural that the second ap-
peal should have brought a larger
response than the first; and he
predicts that the same forces will
be at work to make the response
cumulative in whatever succeed
ing loans the government shall
ask. This authority brings out
with force and clearness the con-
trast between our own loans and
those of Germany, which are paid,
not in cash, but in promissory
notes. The effects of the latter
system on prices of commodities
and the value of currency are such
as to make us modify, to very
large extent, the apparent value
of the German loans. The finan-
cial implications of the American
response are most encouraging,
though they might easily have
been lost sight Of by people in gen.
eral, if it were not for such expert
explanation as that given by Boer-
sianer's article.

The following is an illustration

given by the Ocala Star
A few days ago, the Star said
the job of fuel administrator was
too big for DR.. Garfield. The Star
was mistaken. He seems to have
been just the man for the place.
1t is true that he has acted some
what like a car, but America
needs few flrSt-claSS cZarS IN the
right places just now. 1t was al
legged that he wasn't practical
man, and probably there was some
truth in the charge. A practical
business man would have tried to
solve an impossible situation in
practical way and failed. Gar
field, who by reason of his profess
sion, is detached from the bust
ness world and not fettered by it's
rules and traditions, or swayed by
its hopes and fears, took a sweep

The few home people who do
not appreciate The Herald and
what it is trying to do in behalf OF
the town and county, may be in
terested in knowing that its sub
scribers in other states, who have

its merits and give it due credit

Frederick w. Howard of Kin

VILLAGE VS.. CITY EDITOR
Formers Work of Greater Value
and Responsibility

1t is almost criminal for Editor
Adrian p. Jordan to waste his tai
ents on a country weekly. He is
hiding his light under a bushel
He deserves to be on some big met
Iropolitan newspaper.-Ocala Ban
Iner.
The Ocala Banner thinks cit is
almost criminal for Editor Adrian
P. Jordan to waste his talents on
a country weekly. He deserves
to be on some big metropolitan
paper. " The Banners observation
is correct, as far as it's estimate of
Editor Jordan's qualifications is
concerned, but we don't believe
that even exceptional talent is
wasted" on a country paper.
There is nothing that can be
greater influence for good, for
progress, for the betterment of the
people than the country paper that
has won the confidence of it's cir
Gle of readers. 1t touches the lives
of the latter in an intimate way
that the big metropolitan paper
can never approach. 1t deals
with the familiar little things that
make up the lives of it's clientele
for life with the most of us is
merely a continuous succession of
the little things, and only the faint
echoes of the big events reach us.
1t may not preach or pretend, but
in hundreds of little ways, by
countless half-hidden suggestions,
the rightly conducted country pa
per subtly points the minds of men
and women towards the paths of
better, broader and higher lives. |
And, then, "on some big metro
politan paper" a man loses his in
dividuality largely, and the oppor-
tunlty to do his best work often is
lost in the hurry and hustle of
such an enterprise. He becomes a
cog in the machinery of a practi-
cally machine-made product. We
do not believe we have even seen
a man too big to be editing a coun-
try paper. 1t is a great calling
and no talent is too great for it

TWO MONTANA WOMEN
SEEK SEATS IN CONGRESS

Helena, Mont, Aug 27.-Two wom-
en- are seeking nominations for places
in the national legislative body Of the
United States at the primary election
held in Montana today. Miss Jeanette

Congress two years ago and the first
woman to hold a seat in the House, is
a candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for United States senator and
Mrs. Fl. c. Macdonald is on the bal
lot for the Democratic nomination for

In addition to the selection of can
didates for these offices, nominations
are to be made today for justice

railroad commissioner, members OF
the state legislature, judges Of the
district court and all county offices.
Miss Rankin is opposed on the Re-
publican ticket by DR.. o. M. Lanstrum
of Helena, Judge Edmund Nichols OF
Billings and Harry H. Parsons OF
Missoula. After the filings closed
August z Parsons and Judge E. Mich
OILS filed with the secretary OF state
notices of their withdrawal from the
contest but, upon the attorney gener-
ars ruling that their names must stay
on the ballot, they announced their
intention to continue their campaigns.
The winner in the Republican con-
test will be opposed at the genera
election by T. J. Walsh, incumbent,
who has no opposition for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator. o,..4s,...-.
Mrs. Macdonald is contesting with
Congressman John M. Evans for the
