our allies across the sea. It isn’t

much of a sacrifice for us to save all

the food products we can, but it‘s

importance cannot be over-estimated.

Every housewife in Am enca is

-----------^To Save Food.

Many of the th re sh in g “ rin g s” in this vicinity adopted an entirely new plan this season and by this plan much food was saved. Heretofore it has been customary to feed the threshing crew supper after the daya work was done bnt among these orews this was dispensed with this year and the men went to their homes for supper. This shows a marked degree of patriotism upon the part of the farmers and is to be commended.

T herefo re our w heat shipm ents to Allied destina tions rep resen t ap proxim ately savings from our own w heat bread.

LIBERTY BONDS TEACH THRIFTEncourage Saving H abit In Those

Who Never Saved Before—G reat Crisis Demands the

Best From All of Us.

By H ERBERT MYRICK.Presiden t of the National Fa rm Power

G roup o f A gricu ltu ral Papers.Did you rend that Item In tlie news

papers the o ther day, of a one-time j distinguished and prosperous citizen of Cltieago who died suddenly In the hospital, unknown, alone, unloved? He was an old man. a victim of ad versity. forgotten by the acquaintances of his prosperity . The au thorities were about to consign the body to the potte rs ' field w hen they found In his pocket n L iberty bond for $50 nnd n certificate of a fra te rna l lodge to which he had once belonged. T h a t society was notified nnd gave him a Christian burial, the undertaker and cem etery accepting the bond In paym ent for coflin and lot.

Jam ie, We Salute You!A good man and true Is Jam ie Rllss,

age five years, who lives with mamma and pupa on a farm near Kan Claire, \ 'Vis. Jam ie hud heard till the discussion about L iberty bonds nnd T hrift stam ps, and. not vet being established | In business for him self, w as puzzled ! a little to know how such a little boy j could have n part In th is great un- | dertnking. At the sam e tim e he leant- I ed how sorely our fighting men need wool and the great Idea cam e to him. [ W ithout consulting nnvone. Jam ie j s ta rted about flic farm harvesting J from hedges ami wire fences the little j wisps of wool left there as his fa the r's | sheep past tired. As a result of Ills j expedition Jam ie came into tlie house \ w ith tds pockets nnd Inside of. h is I waist bulging with wool. Mamina Hllss was som ewhat astonished when he explained that In* w as gatlu ring wool to sell so he eottlil buy Thrift stam ps, hut being a wise m other, site , saw the point q tlekly.

Sinee then H onorable Jam ie, wool gatherer tit C arle Sam. m akes dally ex- | eurslons Into the sheep pasture. Already tils wool hits purchased two $5 W ar Savings stam ps and a good s ta rt tow ard ano ther one. This, folks.Is som ething which was not taught out of n book, hut tt ts a sample of the patrio tic citizenship now growing tip. ready to stand a t the helm a few decades hence.

Becoming a Bondholder.Among my friends for years Is a

hard-working farm er w ith wife and several children. He never seemed * to quite “get there .” Though he work- j ed hard, lie Just lacked the knack of getting a hit ahead. Curing the past i year he seemed to have prospered. When I saw him lust week he s a id : j

“ It's tins w ay: T subscribed : $50 for a L iberty bond last year. | nnd simply had to pay for It. I | did so by paying In every dollar 1 could spare. Instead of spending money fo r things we could Just as well do w ithout. It Is curious how one accumula tes If they go a t It tha t way.

“ I see now tlint one reason why I never saved nny money was because I didn't have anything like this to take my cash a little at a time. I used to think th a t I would begin saving when I had my hills |»nld nnd $25 to the good, bit; 1 1 w e discovered nt this late date that the way to do It is to save ft little at a Mine and put tt by as you get It. I have been surprised to find flint the same Is true of so many other fnrm crs, especially ren ters. What they have pu t Into the L iberty bond Is money th a t would have slipped through the ir fingers. They would have nothing to show for It, w hereas now they hnve got a bond earning good Interest, while the ir money Is helping to lick the kaiser. My first bond is now paid In full nnd I am beginning to save up my subscription to the fourth L iberty bond."

This rem inds me of still another case where tho boys nnd girls have earned nnd saved along with their paren ts until the ir subscription for each of the th ree L iberty loans are now paid up. They did not see how they could raise tlie money for their first subscription, but the ir second was double flint, and the th ird was still larger. T he oldest boy w as tnken by the draft, which m ade the family all the more determ ined. The mother Is saving her egg money, each of the children has a bit of a garden from which they nre selling stuff, one of the girls Is a m em ber of the pig club, nnd the oldest hoy still n t home has q u n rte r o f an ncre of onions that prom ises n splendid crop. The fa the r is harvesting a heavy crop of

LIBERTY BOND IN FIRE

Mixed W ith Newspaper* It Waa Uaed fo r Kindling.

Mrs. C harles Stoeckel of Georgetown, Del., found it ra th e r eool nnd dnmp one day recently nnd decided to kindle a little wood fire In one of her stoves. She used an old newspaper o r two picked up from the center table, to s ta r t the wood. Among the papers was a $50 L iberty bond, which her husband had Just purchased at the

wheat, and laat spring made up hlatuliid to devote not leas than one th ird of the proceeds to the w ar. This one family Is p lanning to subscribe $1,000 for tb s fourth L iberty loan, and If all goes well, will he able to pay tlowu ueurly half the am ount.

A Horde of H unt at Your Door.You know w hat they would do to

you and your women—a fu te fa r worse than death. You know how Huns have luld bnre the countryside they have conquered— no anim al o r p lant allowed to survive, even trees nnd vines cut off close to the ground. Rural homes demolished, b arns burned.

You know how the Boches enslave the fnrm ers of Belgium, Boland, the Ukraine. W ords cannot depict the horror of It.

To prevent the sam e th ing happening right here to you and your fam ily. to your own com munity, s ta te and nation—th a t Is w hat our boys are fighting fo r “over the re ."

It is a question of right over might I Shall liberty he destroyed by slavery? This Is th e question the w ar Is to nnsw er for you und me and for generations yet unborn.

This final struggle fo r th e survival of the fittest nnmng hum ans dem ands every ounce of our energy, every cent of our money. Noble men nnd women nre patrio tica lly devoting some or all o f th e ir time, w ithout money nnd w ithout price, to help Uncle Sam win n victory. O thers nre giving produce or money to the good cause. Millions of our hea lth iest young men, the very seed of the race, nre sacrificing the ir lives tha t you nnd I nnd others inay live In pence.

The very least tha t each of us can do now Is to lend our money to Uncle Sam so th a t he will hnve the funds with which to fight. T he w ar Is costing billions. T he only way the governm ent enn get the money Is to borrow It from tho people or tnx It out of them. T he m ore the public lends to the governm ent, the less taxes It will have to pay.

You can h d p In th is crisis by subscribing to the fourth L iberty lonn. These governm ent bonds nre the safest Investm ent on earth . They are absolutely goofl. They yield good Interest. You can get your Interest money twice a year. If you have to use your principal, you enn sell your bond nny minute. or you can use It as security nt the bank to borrow for tem porary wants. The la tte r Is the better way, because It doesn 't help tlie government t.ny for you to sell your bond or for somebody else to tiny your bond. Get your bond direct from the governm ent; then your money goes d irect to the governm ent nnd will he used by it to pay the w ages of so ld iers nnd sailors and to furn ish ihe ships nnd m unitions with which they shall win the victory.

Must Do Our Beat.It Is tip to each of us to do not onr

lilt hut our best. I t ’s a question of life or death. Simplify, economize, go without thlngS. so that the effort, time, thought and money th u s saved may be transm uted Into tlie th ings tha t shall enable the American Hag to fly over B erlin—a symbol of tlie new civilization which Is to Insure peace through victory

In our ru ra l homes, on our farm s. In the trenches. In o ther branches of service, In subscrip tions to the L iberty bonds anti W ar stam ps, our American farm ers have repeatedly gone over the top. T heir efforts, the ir patriotism , the ir loyalty, have been unlversnlly recognized. Now in th is fourth Liberty loan ou r rural folks will show the sam e generous confidence In the eternal principles of hum nn llherty nnd of self governm ent th a t were cham pioned hy those M iddlesex fn rm ers: “Their flags to April breeze unfurled. Who fired the shot heard 'round the

world."

“I ’m a rra ld th a t la, no w ay to te ll,” the revenue officer said pleasantly. "The w orst sm ugglers w e have a re society people. We enptured tw o of h is accom plices on H untingdon’a island th is m orning, and w hen we g e t him we shall have w iped o u t one o f the w orst gangs of sm ugglers operating across the border."

A t the m ention of Q nntlngdon'a la- laud we all pricked up our ears. W hat connection did the sm ugglers have w ith the d isappearance of Mrs. Green and L lpton S. C lair?

“W hile you w ere on H untingdon’s tslnnd," I tusked, “did you 6ee anyth ing o f Mrs. G reen?”

"W hy," began the officer, w ith a puzzled frow n, "ono of ou r prisoners claim s to he Mrs. Green, h u t th a t Is only an a lias fo r 'M other F arre l,' whose p o rtra it Is In the rogues’ gallery. I recognized h er ut once."

“Who Is your o the r p risoner?’’ I had an inkling of w hat had really hap pened a t H untingdon’s Island bIuco I lind left it. .

“T h e o ther one Is a m an m asquerading In w om an’s clothes. H e refuses to g tre his nam e, bu t I th ink he Is Dan M aloney, a ra th e r high class crook w ho does sm uggling only a s a side line fo r grand larceny.”

“ I ’m a fra id you have the wrong parties.” I sm iled as I thought of Llpton S. C lair 's ou traged dignity. ‘'The lady really is Mrs. Green, and the gentlem an Is not Dnn Maloney, but Mr. L. 8. Clair, a w ell know n literary

-man."T he revenue officer’s face fell, then

s suspicious look cam e Into his eyes. "How do I know th a t you are not one of the gang yourself und th is is m erely a trick to get us to release your pals? W hat w as Mrs. G reen doing over th e re anyw ay?”

“She w as ou t In a sm all boat and wns blown over th e re during the storm ," Vida volunteered.

“Miss G reen,’’ the officer addressed her huskily , “ I cannot refuse to take your word. I ’ll hay* the prisoners brought ashore, and If th e lady la reap ly your m other I shnll be glud to re lease her Instan tly .”

Vida did not co rrec t his m istake, but asked, “How do you know I am Miss G reen?"

"Oh, I ’d know you anyw here .” he bragged, smiling. “ I ’ve seen your photograph In the new spapers so often ."

Ko he had. bu t not w ith the nam e of Luetic G reen a ttac h ed to It.

•“Thank you ever so m uch for your kindness."

“ Not a t all,” he re tu rn e d ; then, ad d ressing th e m an la th e dinghy, "8m lth .”

“Aye, aye. sir.’’“Report to M arshal Cochran on board

and ask him to bring his prisoners ashore."

CH APTER XVIII,A H appy Party.

H E m an departed and a f te r an In terval re tu rned w ith th reepassengers, tw o of them unm istakab ly Mrs. Gnw-n and Mr.

Clair, the o ther u U n lB l S ta te s federal officer. Mrs. G reen wns decorated w ith a handkerchief, w hich wus tied over h e r m outh.

"I had to gag the dam e,” explained the m arsha l. "She kept yelling all the tim e.”

The look which th e disheveled lady In th e red ball gown enst upon Uncle Sam 's rep resen ta tive probably burned u hole In Ills a u ra which will never heal up.

“Rem ove tho gag," th e revenue officer com m anded.

“W alt,” Vida req u ested ; “w ait until a f te r 1 hnvo Identified her."

T h a t wns a w onderful insp ira tion on V ida's p a rt. As th e tw o women hud never se t eyes on each o th e r before, Mrs. G reen m ight not add ress Vida as h e r own offspring a s soon a s the pow er of speech w aa resto red to her.

" If you gay she la your m other it Is all r igh t,” snld V ida's new conquest gallan tly . "You inay remove th e handkerch ief yourself If you like. I tru st your m other will forgive us fo r our b lunder. Can you Identify th e gen tlem an too?"

"S he doesn’t know me," C lair m uttered , w ith a look o f te rro r; “I don’t w an t to be Identified."

“ I ought to know him,” Vida replied wickedly. " I am seriously considering an offer o f nm rrluge from him."

"L e t him go, then ," the revenue m an directed .

*T don’t w an t to be released.”“You have to be.” T he officer si

lenced him stern ly .“ H ow abou t th e telephone m an?”

Cochran, the m arshal, Inquired. " I’ve got to get one prisoner anyw ay , o r I Won't d a re show up In D etroit.”

"W e’ll a rre s t him , all rig h t," th# o the r reassu red him. “H e’a on the island som ew here. I t 's awiy a question of searching. Now, to us, "It will saw

If you will point o a t which one of you Is In the em ploy of the telephone company. I f not I shall be forced to ask all o f you who cannot prove who you a re to accom pany me."

T here waa no answ er. No one of na waa anxious to tu rn Inform er.

“I have a descrip tion of H orace Blnna,” said the officer, "although a t presen t be Is trave ling under the nam e of K e n t H eight, five fee t four Inches; slender, d ark ha ir and eyes”—

“Excuse m e,” In terrup ted Bopp. “W hat a re you going to do w ith the sm uggler when you ge t him ?”

“ W e shall have to ta k e him to D etro it aud thence to the federal prison a t L eavenw orth. K an .”

“ Will you give him a square m eal?” Bopp asked anxiously.

“W hy, yes,” sm iled the officer. “W e have a good took on board, and we would not s ta rv e a p risoner.”

“All righ t," Bopp sighed. "D o I fit the descrip tion?”

T h e officer laughed. " I knew yon allthe tim e, Blnns. S tep lively. Get aboard, and w e'll have you safe In ja il In no tim e.”

W ith a wink to th e re s t o f us, Bopp clim bed into th e boat w ith a dem eanor th a t o therw ise would huve been a credit to Sydney C arton.

W hen the boat w as being rowed aw ay he w aved farew ell.

“D on 't w orry ." he reassu red us. “1 w on’t be In Jail long.”

“ W e w on 't w orry ,” 1 answ ered for all. “S tay as long as you like.”

A fter the tu g had gone C lair stood looking disconsolately a f te r It.

“You don 't seem overjoyed a t being se t free ,” I said to hlin In a low voice, so th a t the o thers could not hear.

“ D idn 't I te ll you I w anted to he a r rested so th a t Miss D uum ure would break our engagem ent? Ja il is b e tte r than m urriage any tim e. They shorten jail sen tences for good behavior." He shook his fist a t the departing tug. "T hey w ere Just ready to have b reakfast on board too."

A confusion o f in a rticu la te sounds advised me th a t Miss Dunm orc w as rem oving th e gag from her hastily adopted m other's m outh.

“ Who are you?" Mrs. Green dem anded ns soon as she could speak. “W here 's Luctle? W hat is the nex t th ing I have to do, loop the loop or be electrocuted?”

" I ’m a castaw ay , w recked on your Island,” Vida explained. "Your daughte r Is nil righ t.”

“W here Is she?’’ Mrs. G reen fired the question a t me as If I w ere In som e way responsible.

“ W hy"— I s ta rted to explain, but realized suddenly th a t Mrs. Green m ight not tak e kindly to the Idea of her d au g h te r’s p resen t costum e, so Istopped.

"S he 's over th e re .” C aptain P erkins w aved In th e general direction of the th icket w here we hud last heard I.u- ello.

"D ead?” Mrs. G reen m urm ured, lean ing for support on my arm .

“ No, no," Interposed Vldn, who should huve done the explaining In the first place. "She Is Ju st tak ing a nap She hns had such a terrib ly exhausting experience the last forty-eight hours th a t we w ere all thank fu l when she dozed off a little w hile «g<>. Poor thing, th e re s t will do her a world of good."

"W h a t's she sleeping over th e re for?" pointing a t the bushes. "W hy isn’t she In her own bed lu the house?"

“Oh. the house," Vida repented blankly. “ D idn 't any one tell you? T here Isn't any house."

“ No house? W hy not?""Y our house, m adam ," snld C aptain

Perk ins, "has been consum ed by the devouring elem ent." He quoted a fire Insurance advertisem ent from memory.

“ W ell, w ell.” Mrs. Green repeated In a daze. "W ell, w ell.”

Llpton 8. C lair plucked me by the sleeve to a ttra c t my atten tion and w hispered In my ear, “W here a re my p an ts?”

"W hy.” I replied, “ I sen t them over to H untingdon 's Island, ns I prom ised I w ould.”

“A re they the re now ?"“Yes. BUI left them In t'.:e kitchen

fo r you.""T hen I suppose I ’ll have to w ear

th is .” v“ I should th ink th a t It would be Im

m odest If you d idn 't."He w alked away.

“T ake me to my daugh ter," Mrs. G reen said, w ith a sigh. "L et mo see th a t there Is som ething left of my life as It was before tlie earthquake .”

“You enn see her. If you w ish,” said Vida calmly, “but I assu re you she Is all right, nnd you will only d is tu rb her from a sleep w hich she needs very, very m uch."

Vldn Is nn adm irable liar. Mrs. Green ac tua lly believed her and ceased to w orry abou t Lucile. Mrs. Green Is one of those placid Indies who le t o th e r people bully them and mold the ir very thoughts. Lucile had alw ays m ade h er m other th ink Just w hatever she to ld h e r to, nnd Vida wns ap p aren tly able to do the trick nlso.

W e w alked up to Inspect the ruins. I t wns ns nice nnd com plete a set of ru in s ns I have ever gazed upon. Nothing w as le ft to the im agination— the whole business wns ruined.

W hile we w ere engaged In th a t m ournful am usem ent a tall, m uscular young m an w alked Into our circle and dem anded, “ W here Is Llpton S. C lair?"

“ Ned!" Vida exclaim ed, rushing tow ard him. She stopped when she saw his face.

H e brushed p as t her.“Ned B laney!” shouted Clair, Joyful-

ly advancing tow ard the young n a n .“ You treacherous hound!” hissed

Blaney, gazing on th a t w hiskered trav es ty w ithou t smiling. “ You stole th e only w om an I ever loved aw ay from me. H ea rt b reak er!"

" I couldn 't help It,” C lair adm itted . "V iper!" yelled Blaney a s he fell on

G lair had not been ham pered by his afctrta. Aa It waa, It ended w ith Bla-

“ I give up!” choked C lair. “ I ’ll m ar ry her.”

"M arry her!" B laney shook his friend sgaln . “Not w hile I five.”

“ Isn 't th a t w hat you’re try ing to m ake m e do?” C lair expoetu la ted as well a s be could. “ I don’t w an t to, th a t 's ce rtu iu .”

"D on 't you Bee, Ned,” Vida In te rru p ted soothingly, "he doesn 't w an t to m arry me. Your ou trageous Jealousy has led you luto m aking m istakes ngaln.”

" I ’m so rry ,” corroborated Blaney. “ I ’ve been under a te rrib ly uervous stra in over all th is , an d first I wus afra id Vldu wns lost In th e storm . I w as nearly fra n tic till I got hold of a row boat nnd curne over. It w as un awful pull in the sea th a t 's running out there. B ut i t’B all rig h t now. You m ust all come over to F a ir View to see Vida und me get m arried th is m orning."

C lair w as listening to all th is In a sort of dazed wondei;.

"D on’t I have to m arry her?" he asked.

"H av e to m arry her?" echoed Bla- ney good natured ly . “ W hy, you old rhinoceros, you couldn’t trap a girl Into m arry ing you even if you d ressed up like Mrs. K atzeu jam m er to p lease her.

"B u t she sa id "— began Clair.Vida Dashed an im ploring look a t rue.

C lair could still do a good deal o f dam age If he revealed all th a t Bhe had said and done try ing to w in th u t wuger from me.

“She said ,” I repeated , b rush ing off nnd ad ju stin g C la ir 's sk irt, w hich had suffered sadly from h is rough uud tum ble encounter, “ she sa id th a t she knew she would like you because you w ere a friend of Mr. Blaney"s."

“Stop pinching my leg!" roared Clair, falling to get tlie significance o f .n i j signal and w hisking his sk irts out of my grasp. H e glared a t me balefully .

B laney laughed. T h e p ic ture C lair made ob litera ted the recollection of Ills jealousy for a m om ent. T hen he caught sigh t of my seul ring on Vidu s hand.

"W h a t's th a t? " he dem anded.“T h a t? ” echoed Vida blankly , tu rn

lng the ring on her linger. She had fo rgotten th a t she wus w euring It. "T h a t is a seal ring."

"Yes. I see It is.” adm itted her fiance sarcastically . "Y our explanation so fur is perfectly sa tisfac to ry ."

“ I got It for you," she pouted, "bu t I don 't know w hether to give It to you or not.”

"Could It be possible,” C aptain P erkins asked “ to have th e wedding b reak fast first?"

“ I th ink It could," laughed Blaney.“Come on, everybody,” invited Vida.I s ta rte d to follow th e o thers, but

Thirty-one Years Ago

Thirty-one years ago on the 10th day of August occurred the great Cbatsworth railroad wreck, one of the largest. if not the greatest, railroad wrecks in the history of the United States. Moie than eighty people were killed and over two hundred were wounded. All the people resld ing in this vicinity at the time are cognizant of the circumstances but for the benetit of those who are not acquainted with the facts we will say that ttiis was a double-header Niagara Falls excursion train and every coach was tilled to oveiflowing Two miles east of Cbatsworth a culvert was burned out and the traiu plunged into ttiis ditch. It was an awful accident and this city was a morgue and hospital for several days, the whole town being turned over to the care of the killed and injured.

T . E. BALDWIN & SONThe fourth Liberty Loan

The campaign for the Fourth Liberty Loan will begin Sept. 28 and close Oct. 18. The result of the loan will be watched with keen interest in Europe, not only by our associates In the war against the Teutonic powers but by our enemies. It will be regarded by them aa a measure ot the American people’s support of the war.

The Germani know full well the tremendous weight and significance of popular support of the war. of tho people at home backing up the Army In the field. As the loan succeeds our enemies will sorrow; as it falls short they will rejoice. Every dollar subscribed will help and encourage the American soldiers and hurt and de press the enemies of America.

The loan will be a teat of the loyalty and willingness of the people of the Uoited States to make sacrifices compared with the willingness of our soldiers to do their part. There must be and will be no failure by the people to measure up to the courage and devotion of our men io Europe. Many of them have given up their lives; shall we at home withhold our money? Shall we spare our dollars while they spare not their very lives?

The German Beatitudes.It is not known whether the follow

ing creed was composed by a German or by a foreign student of Germanism.

It has the ring of genlneness; it is uot far-fetched or overdrawn. The military matters of Germany have acted upon thta creed, and the German Army, their disciples, has lived up to It.

“ Ye have heard how lo olden times it was aald, ‘Blessed are the meek, for-they ahall Inherit the earth’; but I say unto you, ’Blessed are the valiant, for they shall make the earth their throne. And ye have heard men ■ ay, ’Blessed are the poor in spirit'; but 1 say unto you, 'Bleated are the great In soul and the free in spirit, for they shall enter Into Valhalla. And ye have heard men say, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers’; but I say unto you, 'Blesaed are the war makers, for thoy ahall be oalled, If not the children of Jehovah, the ohildren of Odin, who ia greater than Jehovah.’ ”

But they are not the eathedrnls or the Pyramids. They arc the next best thing, unless, ns may be the rase, the tales of travelers are better.
