This paper has enlisted
with the government in uie
cause of America for the
period of the war.......
Editorial Comment
are not of a fighting age, ®nd
who probably will stay at home
for the duration of the war.
The higher the percentage of
the nation’s efficiency, in its ma
chinery of war, the sooner it
will win. Those occupations
which do not contribute to that
efficiency—which might as well
be done away with—must give
way, in order that the manpower
thus engaged can be diverted to
the national defense, either in
actual lighting or in feeding,
clothing fir otherwise support-
ing fighters.
We must reach this state of
affairs before the war is won,
and therefore the sooner the
better.
Your dollars will Ife the cart
wheel which will roll along the
arms, ammunition and supplies
the government needs to win the
war. Uncle Sain guarantees to
return them to you whenever
you want them and pay you 4
percent interest compounded
quarterly for their use. Iuvest
in War Savings stamps.
NO DODGING.
It was to be expected that the
war department would finally
come to the pass when it requires
that men either engage in essen
tial occupations or get into the
army.
To win the war with Germany,
the United States must have a
war machine more powerful and
more efficient than the German
war machine. This does not
merely mean that our army must
be larger, but that it must have
more efficient, effective support
at home. We can’t win other
wise.
To bring about that state of
affairs, the manhood of the nation
cannot be scattered about, en-
gaged in employment which does
not have to do directly with the
army, either in being an inte
gral part of it, or of giving it di-
rect support. Men who can
fight must either fight or sup
port fighters, and this support
must come also from those who
Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.
It’s the shortage in ships that
is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice In ship space and
use the Allies are forced to se-
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January 1, Australia had
stored 100,000,000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port—but there were no ships.
Then came t)ie new crop with
an exportable surplus of 80,000,-
000 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 180,000,000 bush-
els waiting' for ships.
India, at the same time, had
70,000,000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
00,000,000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile.
Argentina closed the last ship-
ping season with 11,000,000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 180,000,000 to
the left over.
It Is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
world—It Is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies.

a girl who was "just flirting, that
was all.” "Pooling” with so
many different fellows makes a
girl seem like a peach that lias

ing stories that leave a bad taste
:in your mouth as well as in your
mind and heart mean gossip,
and stories off color that people
whisper under their breath, al-

quite proper make a dirty spot

character or the reputation that
is even slightly soiled is greatly
reduced in price and worth. The

soiled depreciates faster even
than the clothes themselves.

ANENT MISTAKES.
A Missouri newspaper has
taken the trouble to investigate
the matter, and concludes tha
there should be no errors an.y
whore along the line in the news
paper business.
F’rinstance, in a column there
are about 15,000 pieces of type.
The average country newspaper
sets about 300,000 pieces, alt to
be picked up and set right side
up and be placed right. These
in turn must be replaced in the
cases, which necessitates the
handling of 000,000 pieces of
type each issue. Now, in the
first place, if the editor gets cor
rect information, and if he
writes it down properly, and if
the compositor sets it up cor
rectly, and the proof-reader
marks up and the make up man
corrects all errors, and the press
doesn’t smash any letters, it is
easily seen why there are so few
mistakes and how easy it is to
run a newspaper.
Beware of Ointments for

The Doctor Away from Home
When Most Needed.
People are often very much disap-
pointed to find that their family phy
sician is away from home when they
most need his services. Diseases like
pain in the stomach and bowles, colic
and diarrhoea require prompt treat-
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand a
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Di-
arrhoea Remedy. No physician can
prescribe a better medicine for these
diseases. By having it in the house
you escape much pain and suffering
and all risk. Buy it now; it may save
life.

SLIGHTLY SOILED.
"Slightly soiled, greatly
reduced in price.” This was
the sign that was hung on a suit
of clothes in a city window. Two
young ministers went by and
one said to the other, "What a
splendid text for a sermon to
young men?”, so Dr. J. Edgar
Park tells.
"It is quite as apt and appli-
cable for girls. A number of
girls were gathered near an en
campment of our boys in kbaki.
They were talkative and noisy,
and were evidently trying to at-
tract attention, and they did.
With contempt one soldier said
to another, nodding toward the
group of girls who thought they
were attractive, "and that’s what
we are going to die for.” They
had cheapened themselves tre-
mendously in the eyes of the
fellows they had tried to attract.
"Don’t cheapen yourselves,
girls,” said one of the greatest
leaders of girls in this country
The things that cheapen are the
things that soil and spoil, tho
ever so slightly.

she’s taking all the bloom off the
THOUGHTS OF HOME
ACROSS THE WAVES
BY ROY H. DICKINSON, now with U. S. Expedition*™ Force,
in France.
Behind the hills to the westward,
Sink the last rays of the sun;
The clouds grow purple and golden,
And the work of the day is done.
But my thoughts fly over the ocean,
Where that sun shines high in the skies —
And my eyes grow misty and tender,
For there the Homeland lies.
I see the busy cities
And the crowds upon their streets;
I see the crowded harbors
With monstrous ships in fleets.
I see the. sunny Southland
Where the cotton blossom grows;
I see the level prairies
Where the Mississippi flows.
1 see the lofty mountains,
And th« snow upon their tops;
I see the western ocean
Surging against the rocks.
I’m back in fancy
To the place where I was born—
Out on western prairies,
In the land of wheat and corn.
I see my father’s homestead,
And the house that I call home:
The picture never leaves me,
No matter where I roam.
Mother stands at the doorway,
Waiting to welcome me;
Father and brother and sisters —
All of the family.
The baby—blue-eyed youngster!
Who wouldn’t be fond of her?
Oh, picture of soldier’s fancy—
“Hope of the Wanderer!”
My home and my country forever—
My country from sea to sea;
Mountain and plain and prairie —
Sweet Land of Liberty!
Bekind me the cannon are roaring;
Their flare lights the evening sky;
Yonder the battle is raging—
Yonder the thousands lie
Dead for their country’s honor--
Dead for their homes so dear!
I, too, have a home and a country ,
That’s why I’m over here. (April 22, 1918.)
