The most important duty ,r at least one of the most important. to maintain the wonderful prosperous , condition of this country. This can be done if we do not stop all improvements. if we keep on keeping on. I", this connection read what John V> .n amaker, olfb of the great business no n of the world has to say: "Our country prosperous can pay mr war costs, as they tome, apd have em Ugh left over to aid our allies. ••Our country unprosperotis. win business halting, money hoarded through fear or false ecqpofiiy. will ' e bard pressed to keep food on the tat ,e and clothing on the back. "Keep business going is a patrio •< slogan. Keep money in cireulati,..l Keep employment tor everybody. Keep wages good. Keep on niaki.g money that we may have money to spend for war sacrifices. "The worst thing that could happen to the world these days would lie a business dffression in our Unit I Slates. T'VVar in itself do- s not cause bn ne«s depression "Tile billions of dollars of money ’o l e eXi indeed in war preparations w J 1 be put into circulation in our own country, and this in i’self will crea.e new wValtii tor use in the world struggle tor humanity. "The one tiling that might halt bu H ness now is an unpatriotic psychological feeling of panic and a false idea oi patriotic economy. ‘■Cities and communities must goon with their civil improvemeffts. R*>. i building and publii works must p: >- eeed. Railroads must renew the r equipment. Factories must be kept going to th“ir full caiacity. Lab r miust be employed. Homes must lakept up. Merchandise must be produced. distributed and used. "War duties and war exp, nditur. s must be in addition to peace duti -s end peace expenditures. The more v . do the more we can do. The more money we spend the more we will have in our pockets to si end Mon -y creates money. ‘Tn a ward: The natural sane life of M. Srouii Cbiihrs There’s a snap and dash to these new Spring Styles you will appreciate. They have a touch of Militarism—the shoulders are slightly accentuated, the chest high, the waist line defined and the skirt flared.

OBITUARY Mary C. Gowan Falk, daughter of , Stephen It and Elisabeth t'owan, was [ born and reared in St. Marya township. Adams county. Ind She was born (Jet. 12, 1845 and departed this life April 29, 1917. aged 71 yh-ars, 6 months and 17 days She was a patient sufferer, always pleasant, and with implicit faith in | .l< sus Christ. She was afflicted for 12 mouths before God saw fit in his divine providence to release Iter from her sufferings and take her home io be with Him Early in lite she gave her heart to God. and united with tie ('hristl.m thurth. near Bobo. Ind., and was tn active member of that church until i's abandonment, after whit h she united with the M. E church of Bobo, of which she has been a faithful member until God called her to be a member of the church Triumphant, that is wit . out spot, around the Throne of God. Mrs Falk was a true Disciple of Jesus Christ. Ever thoughtful of others, always helping in time of need and comforting in time of sorrow She was united in marriage to John Falk. Nov 22. 1>94. Her husband preceded her to the better world March 19. 1910. She leaves to mourn her departure. two brothers, James W Cowan. of near Boho. Ind , John C. Cowan of Pleasant Mills. Ind., and a sister.

South, with a vivid and intensely hit man Liny oln. vital to ’he spot and not merely a figurehead »in the historical background, is promised in "The Crisis." which the Big Feature Rfgh.s Corporation will flash before an aitiiance for th* first time- here soon. William N. Selig took the famous nov.el Written by Winston Church !l. and made from it a photoplay with t breadth and sweep that will astonio.i. it is promised, the closest followers of the m w art of great historical features. ChurohlH's book was written with ,a sympathy broad enough to grasp both sides of the dispute that rent a nation asunder, and is fr e from sFitional bitterness. Mr. Selig has followed closely the story as told by Churchill, and the result is a powerful drama that partisans of both sjdes can see without, difference. An elaborate musical wore, has *1 on patriotic and romantic themes, will be interspersed by a fine symphony orchestra. This great film w ill be sh<iyn at- the Crystal theatre, Tuesday. May 8. SCHOOL STUDENTS HELP ______ * • Winston Salem. N. C. As a result of a lively gardening campaign inang eraieti by the Winston-Salem News, a semi-monthly high s< hool publication, the increased food-producing movement has spread to every village and hamlet in North Carolina. Recent issues of this enterprising school paper have been devoted :i---mogt exclusively to the "plant the garden" plan as advocated by the National Emergency Food 'Gard-n Commission of Washington. 1). C. The articles are written by the students. ami published exactly -as they are turned in to the editor. Some of the excerpts are "Just think three i hundred thousand farms in the south without a garden: Let's have , 2.600 hundred farm gardens in Forsythe county; We must raise what we feed ami feed what wi- raise: What is a iarnt without a garden." R H Latham, superintendent of the city schools, is actively behind tie movement. Every boy in the mhc-ols ' has signified his willingness to plant a garden, while a number of them said they would take jobs on the farms for the summer montlijk. Th* 1 school gitls will organize tomato and corn canning < Inhs. tiie high s< hool hoys math a survey of the city, finding close to a til' usand plots which will be planted. _ | FOR-SALE Large ivery reed gocart. in louciticn.
