Among the post cards widely circu-

to Justify the killing Of Belgian civil

FARMERS ORGANIZED
TO FIGHT N. D. LEAGUE

Chicago, April S.-The Illinois Agri-
cultural Association, new organiza-
ton OF farmers that eventually will
include those of Indiana and Iowa, has
opened Chicago offices in Room 1l04
Commonwealth Building and will
carry on fight against the Non-Par-
tisan League. which now controls
North Dakota, and which is said to
have tried to organize Illinois farmers
with little success.
To promote "Americanism" among
the farmers, cooperation with the con-
sumers, seek legislation that will pro-
tect the farmer from various sharks"
and promoting the interests of gen.
eral farming are some of the objects
Of the association.
Harvey J. Sconce, who has 1000
acres in Vermilion County, is presi-
dent of the association. d. o. Thomp-
son, farmer and agricultural agent, is
secretary, in charge of the offices here.
The organization now has men,
bership OF $4,000. all pledged to fight
the spread of bolsheyism in the Mis-
sissippi Valley.

Put the Finishing Touches to the Ger
man Dream Of World Conquest-it
Takes Money to Hold the OBJ
sequies Of kaIserisn.

Here is good answer for the TEL
low who says: II bought the bonds or
the previous loans, but why should
save and buy more?"
The answer Is concerned with sick
ness and death. Fortunately, the dis
ease is the German dream OF world
conquest, and the funeral is that OF
the kaiser's ambitions.
Now in the average American home.
where sickness and death befall. the
head of the family first pays for ply
sicians. medicines and nurses. But
when he has gone thus far, he does
not stop. He cannot. He must go on
and cali In the undertaken. He must
finish the sad business.
And so 1t Is In the family Of nations.
We have been stricken with war-and
now we must pay for It, Happily, the
corpse, as has been said, is the Ger
man ambition. The United States and
our allies must pay for the funeral.
The first, second and third Liberty
loans brought together and trained the
army of physicians and nurses that
was to combat the disease. The fourth

AMERICA NO PLACE
FOR THE PESSlMlST
Secretary Of the Treasury Glass Says
These Should Be Days Of Re-
Joieins. Of Confidence and
High Resolve.

"A thing difficult of understanding
is the reactionnry spirit which, in some
quarters, seems to have seized hold Of
American business" declared SeCre-
tary of the Treasury Glass in a re-
cent interview on the coming Victory
Liberty Loan. 1T manifests itself in
n gloomy and pessimistic view of the
future in no way justified by condi-
lions. present or diSCernible, and in
disposition To cavil at the further ex-
penditures the government is under the
necessity of making in order to liquj-
date the war"
Secretary Glass declared he saw no
reason whatever for dark fOreboding.
On the contrary, he was firm In the be-
lief that these should be days of re-
joicing, of confidence and high resolve.
America is the least injured of any
Of the nations which took active part
in the death grappe with autocracy
on the soil of France and Flanders"
he continued. Except for the 10000
who gave up their lives and the thou
sands who are returning. manned or
wounded, the United States has made
no real sacrifice.
rs the American spirit less cour-
ageous than the spirit of the French
or the Belgians? France, Borrowing
but unlaunted, has set about to re-
pair the wreck the ruthless invaders
wrought and refuses to view the fu-
ture darkly. Belgium, stripped of all
save honor looks forward to the day
when a greater nation will arise on the
ruins of the old. Shall America. then,
bend and groan under the imaginings
of burden which it should bear light
ly, If felt at all?
''The coming issue of government
bonds has been designated the Victory
Liberty Loan. 1t seems to me that 1t
might well be termed also the Thanks
giving Loan, for if people had cause
for Thanksgiving we are that people.
Those Americans who today are
among the carpers and quibbers are
not worthy of the name of Americans.
They are not worthy the boys they
sent forth to make, II need be, the su-
preme sacrifice that liberty might live.
Now that the coming OF peace has
restored their sons to them, will they
tighten up their purse strings and
adopt an attitude which seems to say,
The war Is over; did my part while
the fighting was in progress, and now
let the government go hang | do not
think so. believe that when the next
loan is offered they will understand Its
necessity and will gladly meet its re-
quirements."

tawa and La Sale, the same to be
north of the river and to be a com
bined federal aid road and bond issue
road. AS above stated. the federal aid
road is under the jurisdiction OF the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington and the department of public
works and buildings of Illinois. and
the bond issue road is under the ex-
elusive jurisdiction of the department
of public works and buildings. so that
while the county board had a right, of
course, to express its opinion, it has
as matter of law no voice whatever
in the determination of where either
the federal aid road or the bond issue
road should go. What is the result?
1T will be incumbent upon the de-
partmeut of public works and build
ings to select the south road as the
bond issue road. Where a bond issue
road is constructed over roads which
have been improvd in Whole or in part
as state aid roads the county is EN-
titled to the return of so much money
as it may have paid for its half of
building the state aid roads. Between
Ottawa and La Sale south of the
river are perhaps six miles of state
aid roads, where onehalf of the cost
nOminally came from the county. but
as a matter OF fact. with the excep-
tion OF mile adjoining Ottawa on the
west, the portion allotted to the county
to meet the state money was not paid
BY the county, but by individuals.
THE county board understood from
the beginning that the location of the
federal roads was to be determined by
the department of public works and
buildings Of Illinois and the depart
ment OF agriculture, and that the bond
issue roads by the Illinois department
alone. and that the appropriation Of
SlSI,G which they made had moth
ing to do with its location The fact
is that if the south road is con-
structed as d federal aid road ana is
also designated as the state bond
issue road, then La Sale County will
/ be entitled to a reimbursement of
S2SO.GO0, provided, of course. that
SlS7,625 is expended upon this road,
IA the board has already agreed. Il
/ the board eXpends this money as pro-
! posed and should then pass resolu-
ton permitting the north road to be
