VICTORY LIBERTY LOAN
TO PAY FOR LIVES SAVED

is B. Franklin, says:
"No one was planning on the Ger
mans quitting in 1918. We expected
to deliver the knockout punch in 1919.
The stage was set and the properties
were ready. The Germans in the
front lines had discovered the unbeat-
able fighting qualities of our men,
but the German general staff was NOV
ed to ask for peace for an additional

GAS final cure for German vicious
ness in 1919 we had assembled ready
for the coming campaign more than
ten tons of gas for every ton the
Germans could make; a tank for ev-

where we had but one before; aero
planes in the same proportions, and
millions of grim, determined fighting
men ready to start for Berlin. But
this cure that had been mixed with
determination in the mortar of Amer
lean industry became prevention.
"The German general staff knew
more about this cure than the Amer.
lean officers themselves. The magni-
tude of the dose, with the proved
| ability of the men who were to adj
minister it, decided the German staff
that it was quitting time, and SO it,

ADVERTISING

Advertising philosophy is usually
good philosophy. 1t is seldom, if ev-
er, that a poor argument is put forth
relative to the true value of advertis-
ing. Here is the version of one writ
err on the subject:
at is susceptible Of proof that
newspaper space may be proftably
used to advertise commodities that are
used by only / per cent of the readers
of newspapers. So it seems that
there ought to be a pretty good chance
for successful newspaper advertising
of commodities that are used by 100
per cent Of all newspaper readers.
among such articles are foods.
"A good copy writer can write ad-
vertising for palatable food products
that will make people banker for
them. Charles Dickens had a way Of
describing a meal SO that you could
smell it cooking. But you don't have
to get Dickens to write food copy;
it's easy to make people hungry. The
writer on food topics always has a
sympathetic clientele of readers"

of how much they can get out of il

flicted of earth will go unheeded OIL
unanswered.
This is the way every decent mar
feels about it. The grafters and the
soft-job seekers know it we'll and take
full advantage of it.
They should be anathema. They
are ghouls, and they should be out
casts from society.
The thing to do, of course, is not tC
permit this annoying and reprehensi.
BILE phase of the situation to sour the
milk of human kindness in our hearts
BY no means should we allow it tc
make US cynical.
But what we must do is to see that
there is an end put to the activities of
the press agents, grafters and the
soft-job seekers.
The American people have put their
hands in their pockets for almost
countless millions of dollars for char
ity during the past four years, par
ticularly. They have given to every
appeal that was made, and they have
done it unquestioningly. They have
never even asked for an accounting OF
an audit.
Now, however, they are to ask at
least this much that in the future
charity shall be charity, pure and
simple, and nothing else. They shall
insist that it shall no longer be af-
f1icted with leeches and parasites.
They will want to have it absolutely
guaranteed when they contribute
again that every dollar of the money
goes to the object for which the APP
peal was made, and that no deduc-
tons are to be made for soft jobs,
promoters, press agents, or for brok-
erage, underwriting or commissions.
A year ago there was an instance of
an entertainment gotten up in the
East for relief of certain war suffer-
'ers. Something like $4,000 was real
lied, but, after the Expenses" were
deducted, less than $1,000 was left to
be turned over to the sufferers.
There has been too much of that
kind of thing, and the time has come
when the protests of the people
against it must have voice. An end
must be put to it. 1t is grating and
nothing else.
If. after giving so tremendously, so
willingly and so gladly and without
questioning, the people shall now ask
to be informed as to who and what is
back of future appeals upon their
charity, is it to be wondered at under
all the circumstances?
The next cry for help must have no
cloves on it's breath. The next organ

WILL YOUR SEED CORN GRow7

One thing the Corn Belt farmer
learned last year was that he couldn't
always tell when his seed corn would
grow. The Farm Bureau carried on a
seed corn testing campaign hast
spring which, without question, saved
the county thousands of dollars. A
large amount of corn was tested at
the Farm Bureau office. The rural
schools all helped in the testing work
The Pennington High School deserves
special credit for the large amount of
seed which they tested free of all
charge to farmers.
1t will pay to test every ear
of seed corn you plant. Every farm
er can test his own seed right at
home. The County Agent will be glad
to explain some of the easier methods.

BARN DANCE WILL
Be HELD TONIGHT
At UNION HALL

What promises to be the biggest
social event of the kind this season,
the much talked of barn dance,
given by Nenana Lodge No. 1893,
Loyal Order of Moose, will take
place at the Union Hall tonight.
Dancing will commence Immediately
after the picture show and will be
continued for as long as the dancers
care to keep the floor.
Specially selected music will be
rendered by the Coliseum orchestra.
the floor of the barn" has been
put in the very best condition for
dancing, and the committee is now
busily engaged in putting on the
finishing touches in the way of
seating arrangements and decora-
tons, which will lend a touch of
realism to the scene of the dance
Alf Eckland, the chairman of the
Moose entertainment committee. who
is literally working his head off,
to make the dance the greatest
success of the season, says that a
breath of New mown hay" will be
added to the many attractions OF
the barn to remind the boys and
girls of the good old days on the
farm. This aroma, he says, will be
felt distinctly, in spite of the pre-
vailing colds, but he refuses to
divulge the process by which he
! is enabled to "distill" the perfume
To harmonic with the scheme
and the surroundings, those who
will attend the dance are requested
/ to come there clad in garments
usually worn around a farm, or the
nearest approach to it. Put away
your Sunday best and starched
collars and come prepared to have
as jolly a time as at husking be-,
in just plain informal sort of
way Boiled shirts and such like
are out of place in barn, and the
committee says, will not be toler-
ated
! All indications point to the fact
that the dance tonight will fully
come up to the expectations of its
promoters, and will be, what they
claim for it, the greatest success
of its kind of the season.

naturalization" of the coal resour-
ces Of the country and which seems to
be working toward government own
ership as toward the golden eEd Of a
rainbow.
But it so happens that the govern
ment, as represented by the Federal
Fuel Administrator, has taken sides
against the miners in the present sit
uation. He has asserted that the ex-
listing wage contract between the Uni
ted Mine Workers and the Central
Competitive Field operators is effec-
tive until the formal termination Of
the war or until the end of April, 1920
If the peace proclamation has not beer
issued by that time,
In other words, If Dr. Garfield should
resume his authority over the coal in
dustry, he Immediately would demand
that the miners adhere to the letter Of
their agreement, and il they should
yield to that demand their fight would
be lost in so far as this winter is con-
cerned. Because fthis fact, the min
ers might be expected to resist gov
eminent operation of the mines as bit
terly as the operators, and might car
ny out their strike program against
the government with the same aban
don that they threaten to strike against
the operators.

strike is ordered is merely possibil-

not be recommended by Secretary Will

ment between the miners and thei
