so yc6 can laugh at the kaiser and say, "See, we'll win. "We'll win." WVU win for world democracy.

Edna LaForge, Pimento High school, age 16. For children over 14. Why we plight to buy a Liberty bond.

In this world-wide struggle, much Is at stake. Our boys are fighting for us in the trenches of Europe. Some of us do not' realize that we are at war and that each and every one of us can do some definite thing to help bring it to an end and make the world safe for democracy. But we can and we must.

Never until this war were bonds as, low as at present. They are now as low as fifty dollars and as high as anyone cares to invest. We owe it to our country in this, one of the darkest hours of its existence, to invest as much as possible in this great cause. Most families can at least save up enough to buy a fifty dollar bond. Others can do more and must do more. Our country has protected us for a long time and is still doing all in its power to protect -us. But it cannot win this war with men alone. It already has the brave men who stand ready to give thefr lives at any moment, and whose very existence depends upon the money we give. If we hold the money back, can they do what is expected of them? No, they must have food and equipment. Where is this to come from if we do not loan the government monev to procure it?

They must have moftey and is it not better to invest in a bond when we know we will get our money back, than to stapd back like stingy, unloyal citizens and wait to be taxed for the money that must be procured in that way if we do not respond to the requests made? If we are taxed we will never get the money back. This should be an inducement even to those who care more for their money than for the nation.

Those who hold back their money now are helping the kaiser who, with the body of ft man and the heart of a beast, is the most wicked tyrant that the world has ever known. His sole purpose and aim in life Is t'o rule the world, regardless of the sorrow, destruction and terror that he causes. We must show him that we are loyal to our country by investing in bonds, for every dollar that we put into a bond is as loyal an act as if it were a bullet aimed at the Germans. .AH of us cannot go to the front, so let us shoot dollars toward the land of barbarism. We must, or we iyiust suffer the hand that makes that land barbarous to take us into Its grasp and crush all our spirit, our honor, and our ambition. Will we submit to that? Never, no, not if it takes the last dollar we have. Be loyal. We owe it to our country, to our ancestors and to the coming generation, who must enjoy the same privileges that we have always enjoyed.

Let us give our money now. It is only a debt we owe. So 16t us pay off our debts and look the whole world in the face, proving to the end that the principles that the United States of America represents are truly represented.

State Normal Notes

Prof. Charles B. Bacon, of the State Normal, gave a very interesting talk at a patriotic chapel exercise, held in the Normal High school auditorium Friday afternoon. He contrasted the monarchial form of government with the democratic form of government, showing the great differences in the underlying principles. Also he discussed the value of high school and college training at all times, and placed special emphasis on the great need for trained minds that will be manifest at the close of this war. He urged the pupils thslt they should remain in school now by all means, so at the close of the war they would be prepared to take up the great duties that are sure to fall to their lot.

The State Normal student building was dedicated Friday evening at a reception for the students of the school, given by the faculty. A large per cent of the students and faculty were present and all were delightfully surprised with this splendid new recreation home.

The early part of the evening was spent very informally in inspecting the new building upstairs and down, and was used as an opportunity for the students and faculty members to become acquainted. Th© latter part of the evening, the rugs on the floors of the three large rooms downstairs were rolled back, and dancing was enjoyed by all the rest of the time. Music during t'hf evening was furnished by the Deming orchestra.

From now on the building will be open for use by the students, and all meetings of literary and debating societies, as well as of the Y. M. and T. W. C. A. will be held there. It is also probable that the students will be permitted to dance in the building one evening each week.

l'JSKKlS HAUTE TKIJBOJNJE.

An engine that translates "gas into a new, kind of thrilling power through the "Hot-Spof" and "Ram's-Horn" ManifoldChalmers devices

Power to take a hill, and power to pass the other fellow are still claimed by mahy car makers but, here's a car that puts such expressions into the dark ages of automobiling.

It is the current Chalmers, equipped with the famous "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold, which wrings from gas more power than was ever taken out of gas before.

But not merely brutal power (for that it has), but a newer kind, a softness of power that is as thrilling to bear witness to as the technique of a great musician.

Accomplished how? By those two great devices: a "HotSpot", which fairly cooks the gas, then "cracks it up fine as a powder", and the "Ram's-Horn"* Manifold which "sets it down" in the combustion chambers with celerity and without disturbance.

So that when the spark touches it off, it gives nothing but power soft, harnessed, controlled power that you will never forget once you have had its feel.
