HOW THE MONEY IS
SPENT.
Subscribers to the recent $2,-
000,000-,000- issue of liberty bonds
and iutending subscribers to the
second liberty loan are interes-
ted in knowing just how the
money obtained is used. A large
amount of money is necessary
to maintain the Navy, which has
been called upon to defend our
coast and our commerce from
attack.
To put the Navy on a war basis
every ship in reserve had to be
fully manned and commissoned.
Many auxiliary vessels also had
to be added.
On April 6 there were 64,680
enlisted men;now there are more
than 13G,OuO. In addition, we
have enlisted more than 35,000
reserves and there are 10,000
National Naval Volunteers in
bcrvice.
Contracts have boen placed
for every destroyer aud subma
l ine chaser that the shipyards of
country can build, and new re-
cords are expected in construc-
tion. All this is in addition to
the 32,000-ton battleships; the
tive battle cruisers of 35,000 tons
each, the largest and swiftest
war vessels ever built; the six
scout cruisers and many auxili-
ary craft for which we have
made contracts. These will be
built as early a9 possible, but
the right of way in construction
is being given to destroyers and
small craft.
Since the day war was declared
the Navy has patrolled our own
coasts. For coast defenses scores
of vessels have been secured—
yachts, fishing vessels, fast motor
boats, aud other minor craft, and
others are being added to this
force as rapidly as possible.
The Savy has sent to France
a corps of aviators, who arrived
on June 8, the first contingent
of the regular armed forces of
the United States to laud on
i .eneb soil. The Aeronautic
Corps has been greatly enlarged,
aviation bases established along
’ ho coast, officers aud men trained
in the operation of seaplanes.
rxlD yon know that while other manufacturers are raising their
| J prices to meet the soaring cost of materials, The De Laval
Separator Company is putting out at no increase in price a
bigger and better cream separator than ever before—a separator with a
self-centering bowl, a bell speed-indicator
that insures operation at the proper speed,
and many other important improvements ?
The NEW De Laval embodies the greatest
improvements in cream separator con•
•fraction in the last 30 years.
The NEW De Laval has greater capacity.
The NEW De Laval skims even closer.
The NEW De Laval is even simpler in
construction.
The NEW De Laval is even more sanitary.
And you get all these improvements
without one cent increase in the price.
The first time
you come to town Croeg-Mitloa of New Bowl
drop in and see
one of these new machines. We know you will
be interested in the new self-centering bowl,
the new milk-distributing device, the improved
discs, the bell speed-indicator, and the im-
proved automatic oiling system—all fea-
tures that are found only in the NEW
De Laval. *
You can buy a De Laval from us on such
terms that it will pay for itself while
you are using it. But even if you are not
ready to buy yet, come in and look the
machine over. It will be worth your while.

paying $1 97. If the dealers of
any ono of these towns can nfft rd

tide, the dealers in Every town
can afford to pay as much, and
those fai inars did the right thing
by coming to Okeene with then-

difference iu freight rates at these
points.

DEMOCRACY’S DUTY TO
ITS DEFENDERS.

Lae been atktd for aviatiou.
The plan for furnishing our
soldiers and sailors life and indeni
nity insurance and allowances to
dependent families, embodied in
a bill now pending in C ingress,
seems to meet with the cordial
appreciation of the people and
the press of the country. Some
extracts follow:
The Pnila Public Ledger:
“When we draft the wage earn
er,’ says Sec. McAdoo, ‘we call
not only him but the entire fami
ly, to the flag’. This is the fun-
damental argument for the war
insurance bill now before Con
gress. It is the absence of any
provision for those left behind,
w liicli leads so many who would
gladly give themselves to their
country, to ask exemption.
When military service is obli-
gatory, other things are obliga-
te! y, too. ‘The national con
science,’ as the Secretary puts it
‘will not permit America’s sol-
diers and their dependents to go
unprovided with everything that
a generous and noble people can
do to compensate them for the
the sufferings aud the sacrifices
exacted from them. That has
never been the American way
“ The aim of the war,insurance
I bill is to do justice to the soldiers
[without doing injustice to the
! taxpayers.”
