It looks as if a good many folks who haven't been doing farm work will have to go into the fields this year.

In working out your plans have a friendly understanding with the county agent and the county council of defense' Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Beavers and children. Ireta and Glen.

The nut. sundae heads the casualty’ list this week. The soda fountains must cut out all special drinks requiring sugar syrups. Candv-makers and soft-drink dispensers and housewives are expected Io cheerfully obey orders these days and get ready to save more sugar. Are you using in your home more than three pounds per person per month? If so, you are sneaking a little more than your share. The state council ventures to suggest in connection with a patriotic Fourth that the explosion of fireworks will not scare the Germans. ~aat the consumption of much higlpriced food will not only damage the stomach but the conscience, and that candy and sweet drinks contain sugar The submarine is trying to sink in the sea all the sugar we start to tlie, allies. Don't co-operate with the subs. Stop sinking sugar. Save the ice. Ammonia is required in the making of munitions and] should not. be used in the making of ice which is carelessly wasted. Save the man-power required for the manufacture or delivery of ice. Keep the refrigerator in a cooi spot and close the doors. Don't open it except when neces ary. Don't load it up with warm food. Don't think that you have* to freeze your innards by summing fragments of ice-berg into ail the food and drink served during hot weather. We approach the 28th of June. It conies on Friday of this week. On or before that date, every man. woman and child claiming the protection of the American flag and asserting loyalty to the great cause, is expeple.L to be the owner of government Savings Stamps ami to have delivered a pledge to keep on buying. President Wilsou says that the practice of thrift, in peace times is a virtue. To save in war times and to make your' savings help to win the war “Is a pa-, triotic duty and a necessity.”

1 Mrs. J. H. Gentis went to Berne I attend the funeral of John Craig thi afternoon. J. F. Laehot, of Fort Wayne, passe, through tho city enroute to Berne V t attend the funeral of John Craig, i Mrs. Alta passed through th city this afternoon on her way to Ge , neva from a visit at Cloverdale, O. i Mrs. LA.

Mrs. Lily Sniftley and children lei t on tho 1:05 train for Geneva to visi with her father, Milo Harden an . family. Secretary McAdoo says: “The pro • gross of the war demands constan aud increasing sacrifices.” What ir< , you sacrificing in order to buy Wa i Savings stamps? ’ Loyally demands that Uncle San be the great spender during the war • he knows what is needed to win. Am 1 do not forget that every time you buj anything you reduce by that mud I the supply of labor and material’ 1 which he needs for victory. President Hibben, of Princeton University says: “A world in need has sent forth across the waters its cry to us for help. We can not re spond and at the same time continue our comfortable, easy-going mode of existence. The times demand sacrifice, and sacrifice can no longer be free from suffering.” Since the organization of the Red Cross in Columbia. Mo., last May. 52.000 pieces, consisting of pajama suits, surgeons’ gowns, and bed shoes, have been made and shipped out. Besides these. 33,000 pieces of surgical dressing and 2,000 knitted articles, such as sweaters, wristlets, socks, and helmets, have been sent. The work done by the organization has increased graduhlly >ince last May. At first there were sometimes not more than twenty workers a day at the Red Cross rooms, whereas there are now- about fifty. Four hundred women are registered for work, and there is no trouble in getting helpers when called upon, according to Mrs. W. H. Willis, director of the work. Each person averages about three hours a day. Miss Virginia Pearson does some clever work in “Thou Shalt Not Steal’ William Fox's photoplay which will be shown at the Crystal theatre tonight for a one day's run. The picture is a gripping detective story and Miss Pearson takes full advantage of her opportunities. As the daughter of a banker she is in love with her father’s secretary, Roger Benton. (Robert Elliott.) Lord Haverford (John Goldsworthy) loves her also. To get SIOO,OOO from Lord Haverford, the father tells Mary to marry the lord. He then borrows the SIOO,OOO from tho lord. Mary steals the money but it is stolen from her. The only clue she has to the thief is the print of her teeth in his wrist. WWten she finds it she is surprised and hap- ■ py for the owner of the bitten wrist ■ delivers her from all her trouble, releases those who were under suspicion and imprisons those who had been thought quite honest. The most astounding scene ever filmed for a motion picture is in “For the Freedom of the World,” which will be the attraction at thy Rex theatre tonight. It comes as a climax to a soul-stirring story of war and love, with the great world conflict now raging as the background. The young and beautiful wife of an officer of the American Legion of the Canadian expeditionary forces, violating an iron clad rule of the war office, disguises herself as a nurse and goes to visit her husband at the front. Through the mechaninations of a cowardly officer, once a suitor for her hand, her presence and her husband's knowledge of it is exposed. Husband and wife are arrested and ordered before a court martial with the knowledge ’that their trial can result in nothing short of the verdict prescribed for every such violation of the regulations—death before a firing squad. Rather than see his bride suffer such ;. fate her husband shoots her with his service revolver, and she falls it bis feet breathing her gratitude with ‘ Thank you, my husband.” Motion I icture critics who have seen advance showings of “For the Freedom lof the World" are unanimous in proclaiming this the most thrilling moment they have ever seen in films. "alien REGISTRATION By noon today, thirty-seven had I registered with Postmaster J. W. I Bosse as alien German women.

In case of working people where the more nourishing beef be preferred at noon, the change may be made '
