When the selective draft law was
passed and the government began
the mobilization of an army, many
-vere the predictions that it would
meet with bitter opposition from
the people. Members of Congress
even were heard to remark that
they would not choose between be-
ing a conscript and being a convict.
But contrary to all such gloomy
views, the work has been going on
smoothly and the people have very
quietly adapted themselves to the
law's requirements, till now the
calling of men under its provisions
is regarded as a matter of course.
The selective draft law is a sig-
nal victory for sound government.
It recognizes the fundamental fact
that man owes a debt to government
and is bound to pay that debt on de-
mand—that there can be no exemp-
tions so long, as the man himself is
physically and mentally fit to pay

money and means of the nation.
But is the burden to fall entirely
on the government of raising these
means of sustenance?
Before many more months of the
war have passed, the people of this
county are going to be rudely arous-
ed to the fact that, viewed in the
light of justice and right, NOTHING
should be exempt. Life is the
most sacred of our possessions. Yet
life is demanded by our government
and we see no injustice in the de-
mand. But as soon as our precious
dollars are demanded we raise a
holy howl.
Our government is fighting for
its existence. The life and death
struggle is now going on, and shall
any citizen of this government dare
to claim that his country has not
the right to his last dollar if that
should be needed to insure victory?
So long as the bond issues of the
government are readily subscribed,
howfcver, indications are that means
will be taken to finance the war.
Should these issues fail of subscrip-
tions the real test as to the ulti-
mate authority of government will
come.
o
KEEPING BUSINESS "NORMAL"
I We are asked by our Govern-
ment, as a vital pre-requisite to the
' manmiouth undertaking in which
we are engaged, that we do our ut-
most to keep business normal. The
request is a broad one and compre-
hends the whole scope of human
character, in the concrete as well as
in the abstract; individuality as
well as collectively.
It is incumbent that we use
every energy and industry. This,
though, the exigencies of the times
insure. The demands for the pro-
ducts of our industry are so great
that none but the hopelessly sloth-
ful can consent to remain inactive.
Th« pressure of human needs can
generally be relied upon to guaran-
tee a corresponding outlay of
energy and industry.
but there are other equally as
important human characteristics
that, must be considered, and also
airwng these we must give first
place to unselfishness as opposed to
sell' interest. We must learn to
thinl; in the mass, rather than as
individuals. We must learn to shape
our actions in the light of the pub-
lic weal, rather than in that of the
individual. The temptation
gr^at lor a spirit of selfishness and
greed to dominate our lives. The
opportunity was never greater for
men in all lines of endeavor to
make ' killings" and "feather their
nestE," but we must bear in mind
that this will always be done at the
expense of the industrial health of
the masses. In plain words, what
we get out of the present commer-
cial conditions will be a true gauge
of our character. The man who
emerges with unduly swollen bank
balance may know In his heart of
hearts that his country has been
second in his thoughts and actions.
It is the man whose entire thought
and actions have been devoted to
sustaining the commercial life and
strength of his country, who will
have the satisfying knowledge that
he has measured up to the standard
of a MAN.
"By their fruits ye shall know
them" was never more applicable
than in the present emergency.
CHEVROLET/
A Few Reasons Why You
Shmld Buy A CHEVROLET
It has the valve-in-head motor.
It makes an average of 25 miles on a gallon of gasoline. #
It is the lowest priced electrically equipped automobile in
the world.
Economy in operation is a distinctive feature of the Chev-
rolet automobile.
By the owners' own checked records this car has averaged
25 miles on a gallon of gasoline—and 500 miles on a gallon of oil.
The CHEVROLET is built as LIGHT as a STRONG car can
be made. It carries no unnecessary weight, thus reducing gas-
oline, tire and repair expense.
The CHEVROLET valve-in-head motor develops all the
power in the fuel—and wastes none. Every bit is used in
driving the car. v
We have received this week a shipment of new Chevrolet
models, including the "490"; the "F. A." and "Eight models.
They are now on display at our sales rooms at the Concrete
Garage. It will pay you to call and examine this light, strong,
economical and low priced automobile. It is just what you
want for getting about on the farm, for trips to town and to the
neighbors for the benefit and enjoyment of the whole family.

keep pace with world thought and

with the result that frequently a
great per cent of his effort is wast-

a long way toward ridding the coun-
try of this source of shame and of
mortification.

Banks in different parts of the
country report that parties have
called with silver and bills, wanting
to exchange for gold. The pre-
sumption is that the gold is wanted
for hoarding, as in many instances
noted the parties could have no real
demand for the gold. This is a
matter that the country V'U do well
to frown down. lianas should re-
fuse to make the exchange unless
the party seeking it can show that
the gold is needed for payment of
obligations payable in that metal.
Th* present is no time for hoarding
gold, and persons guilty of so doing
are the worst of slackers.
The wheat shortage is destined to
make the people of the United Stat-
es acquainted for the first time in
their history with the great Ameri-
can grain—corn. When one comes
to think of it, it is really surprising
how few people in our land really
appreciate this grain as they should.
Corn bread, rightly made, has no
superior as a regular article of diet.
Those who have become accustomed
to its use frequently prefer it to all
other bread, and insist that one
never loses relish for it. Corn
was the staple article of fod of the
American Indian, than whom a finer
race, physically, nev%r existed. It
was also the mainstay of the Afri-
can slaves of the South for two cen-
turies, and on it they throve and
labored. It is acknowledged by
leading physicians that corn* bread
is much more healthful than wheat
bread, and when once one has ac-
auiied a taste for it he becomes a
convert for life. It is the merest
drrivel, to say nothin of craven dis-
loyalty, for any of our people to be-
wail a forced obstinance from
wheat bread so long as we have un-
told millions of the best grain God
ever caused to grow out of the
ground.
ing are old methods, and of some
avail in the early season, .but can-
not be depended on to control the
insect. The very best mixture for
: this insect is the Arsenate of lead
spray, which consists of on-fourth
' pound of Arsenate of lead to six
gallons of water.
The Bordeaux mixture, is com-
posed of four lbs. of blue stone,
| four lbs. lime, with three lbs. of
] lead Arsenate to fifty gallons of
j water, will control both insects and
diseases.
The adult potato Beetle is
round-bodied, yellowish beetle,
about one-fourth" inch long, having
ten black stripes on the wing cov-
ers. It deposits orange colored
eggs, in groupB on the under side
of the leaves, which hatch in from
six to ten days.

COUNTY BOYS LEFT LAST SAT.
NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION
The Saturday Evening Post
strikes a most vulnerable spot in
our national economy when it
makes the astounding declaration
that this country loses over eight
hundred millions of dollars yearly
through the illiteracy of its people.
A first glance this would seem to be
an exaggerated estimate, but when
one comes to carefully consider the
limitations of an illiterate the state-
ment does not seem so overdrawn.
The illiterate man or woman is at a
discount in every avenue of indus-
try. He or she is incapable of fill-
ing any but the most menial of po-
sitions, and even the work of these
lines is not nearly so well executed,
and as a general thing, by illiterat-
es as by those of moderate learning.
Probably the most disastrous effect
of illiteracy Is found on the farms
of the country. n illiterate farm-
er, as a general proposition, is a
back number. Progress is foreign
