Fair weather is in order up
here now.
Well, our good times are about
gone over here. That is about
all there is to it. What the peo-
pie did to show the fleet a good
time was great. They did all in
their power to make US feel at
home. They spent thousands of
dollars to show us a good time.
We sure have travelled around
a lot in the last four months.
We have been to France and
came around from the east coast
to the west coast, thru the Pana-
ma canal, and Mexico.
The people at San Diego, Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Cal,
Portland and Astoria, Ore, and
Seattle, Washington, sure gave
the boys a welcome hand. They
said: The city is yours, take it, "
and they did. Just think of
300, 900 men turned out on liberty
every day for a week at time.
They gave dances and did every
thing to made us happy.
About half of the crew have
got their discharges here this
week. The ship is going to the
navy yard. There is some talk
of us coming back to the east
coast. Hope so. anyway.
One of the boys of the ship
said he was from Texas, but the
navy has got his goat. There
are many more just like him, too.
There ale boys in the navy that
would give their right arm to be
out. / guess it is because we
have navy beans for breakfast
about three times a week. There
are lots of fools in the United
States. Me for one.
Sure was sorry to read about
Erwin Newsom being in trouble.
That is the way, if you are look
ing for it you sure are going to
get it, believe me.

GERMANY MUST PAY

MUST PAY AND PAY AND PAY
Stolen Machinery Being Used by the
German Factories, Together With

BY WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.

More than two million American sol
diers crossed the Atlantic that they
might help fight the battle of civiliza-
ton and defeat the selfish ambitions
of the people OF the German nation.
l crossed the ocean in a convoy which
carried some thirty thousand of these
men, and for nearly fourteen days 1t
was my privilege to share with them
the dangers of the sea and the dan
gers of the German submarines. / saw
these men crowded into the hold of
small ships that they might the more
quickly go to the rescue of that civili-
zatlon for which we were fighting; |
by the terrific seas driven by gales that
reached a maximum of 100 miles an
hour; i saw them die of exposure as
the seas beat in upon them ; saw their
bodies consigned to the waters of the
broad Atlantic; in the convoy with
which l crossed one of the ships went
down in the storm, carrying with it
yearly five hundred of these Ameri-
'an soldiers.
And these things happened because
The German people had run amuck,
driven to it by a selfish ambition for
world domination and loot.

retribution? Are they TO escape pay

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith
Without Works Is of No Avail
Remains True.

An author tells us that sincerity is
the supreme virtue; but that sincerity
Is not expressed In words-only in
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works is dead is
true. And one will see an lllustra-
ton of the fact on every side every
day. The fact Is the world does not
live what II believes. We noted in
book the other day that there would
be little. If any, controversy If men
said what they thought and felt. This
Is surely true. Men differ as soon
as they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect. This is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the details. Sincerity
belong to the former. 1t is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than stand.
point. Ii is where sincerity gets Its
influence. which is the still. small
voice that comes out of the whirlwlnd
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that sim
certify is not a connection. but a vir-
tue, as real as a mothers love. And
don't mistake sincerity for consis- |
iency. They may be acquainted, but
hey are not related.-Ohio State

knives. The drum is 30 feet long and
about 10 feet in diameter, and is COM

The Many Mysteries
of Nature
BY L. W. BOWER, M. D.

You can take an onion seed and a pansy
seed, and plant them side by side in the
same spot of ground. In one case, you
get an onion, with its peculiarly strong
odor, and in the other you get flower of
rare beauty. You can plant poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-forming
drug, or you can plant rhubarb seed and
get something that helps constipation No
scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature. Behind the invisible
life germ in each seed is hidden the deep
secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in
tended for some use in establishing natural
conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N Y,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned it all
through treating thousands of cases. The
result of his studies was a medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that
nature surely intended for bacxache, head
ache, weakening drains, bearing-down
pains, periodical Irregularities, pelvic in
Examinations, a,<i for the many disorders
col szon 10 women in all ages of life. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of

corn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon
grape roat, Women who take this stand

Favorite Prescription they are getting a
safe woman's tonic so good that druggists
sell it.
Favorite Prescription should have the
'ull confidence of every woman in America
because it contains no alcohol and no mar

made this standard medicine, that whisky

Ilways kept them out of his remedies.

man money, be assigned the task Of
rebuilding the destroyed cities and
towns and villages so far as that can
be done. Germany was able to do
without the constructive labor of mil
lions of her men while they were en-
gagged in destroying these cities, towns
and villages, and now let her continue
to do without this constructive labor
while her men rebuild that which they
have so wantonly destroyed Ger
many's men have been satisfied to
work at the destructive trade OF the
soldier for the meager pay of a Ger
man soldier, and now let them be EN-
ployed at constructive work In the sec
tons they have destroyed, for the
same meager pay, and this to be paid
by Germany.
The German people have stolen from
Belgium and France much of the ma
chinery and other valuable and port
able property they found In the invad
cd districts. Much of the stolen ma
chinery is running today in German
factories, ard with il the German peo-
pie are earning a livelihood while the
people of Belgium and northern France
are idle because of lack of oppor'
tunity. German employers are pre-
pared to reap a trade harvest as sooE
as they are again allowed to enter the
field of world trade because they have
this machinery. With 1t they can cap |
ture the markets that have been held |
by the French and Belgian employers,
who have been put out of business by
the depredations of Germany.
The immediate return of this stolen
and other property should
be forced. and where its return is not
possible it should be replaced with
equivalent. machinery from German
and the machinery and prop
srty destroyed should be replaced in
he same way just so far as that is
possible.
