GREAT WORK IS TOLD OF

Achievements in War Are Set Forth by lieague. Washington, May 10.—— "It can be authoritatively announced,’’ says a statement issued by the League for National Unity, “that .the American force across the seas today

musters hundreds of thousands strong. Of this array, several hundred thousand American soldiers are on the main battle line in Flanders. Daily more troops are pouring across as well as adequate supplies and munitions for the great army we are sending.” The league says a statement regarding whfft the Americans have thus far accomplished is made necessary “because the secret enemies of the republic are still declaring that only a small force of 100,000 or 200,000 men has crossed the Atlantic.” The statement was made to hearten the relatives of the “boys over there” and to assure them “that despite delays and mistakes unavoidable in all vast enterprises, our government is today bending every energy toward the successful produtyfriOn of all - necessary equipment, that every possible need of the army and navy may be anticipated.” Describing the operations in connection with the war the statement says: ■

The United States in the last year has made its own port on the French coast; built its own railroads (800 miles of track and more); laid out at its new harbor, which can deal with /orty vessels at once, a freight yard bigger than any one yard about any great American city; provided a railroad equipment such as Europe never saw before; set up its own telegraph and telephone system (12,500 operators for this last); constructed hospitals, warehouses and magazines; established workshops and factories where works are already full, and made all ready for its own armies; so that if 5,000,000 fighting men are needed, room, equipment and provision are there for all of them, without crowding or deranging what owr allies have in four years provided for themselves. We have now 'more shipyards than Great Britain, the greatest of shipbuilding nations. Our navy is building more submarine destroyers than there were in any two of the world’s navies when the war broke out. Our regular navy has more men than the British navy had in July, 1914, when it? was the world’s largest naval force.

Next year we shall fully make up the loss caused by submarines. The year after it is planned that 10,000,000 more tons will be produced and the tonnage afloat will be greater than when the war began. Tlie submarine, already checked, will be seen to have failed. Working with the navies of our allies, we have brought safety at sea. Only one troopship has been lost in hundreds of trips across the Atlantic, arid it was not American convoyed. Mention is made of the mobilization of the nation's industries and it is declared that production of rifles today is greater than was ever reached under the pressure of contracts with the allies.

“Out intense activities the last year /are showing their cumulative results,” the statement says further. “Let no man or woman underrate the work already done to make the world safe for demoeracy, or doubt that we and our allies shall have the full ability and resources to fight our way to victory. If mistakes have been made, we have learned from them. Even after forty years of calculated war preparations the German bureaucracy has made serious mistakes during this war.”

SEED CORN FOR INDIANA FARMERS

State Council.of Defense Has Arranged to Supply Best Quality Available. EARLY PLANTING IS ADVISED Emergency Supply to be Provided and Drawn on Should Replanting be Found Necessary. Full realization of the importance of a bumper corn crop to the prosperity of the state and its ability to contribute its share to the winning of the war, was manifest at the meeting of the Indiana State Council of Defense, when a resolution urging farmers to test their seed and have their planting finished by May 25, was adopted, unanimously. The Indiana State Council through its committee on food production' will endeavor, through the county councils to supply the best seed available, at reasonable prices. It proposes, further, to assist growers in securing tested seed in time to insure its cultivation and maturity before early frosts. The remembrance of the frosts of 1917, which destroyed perhaps 25,000,000 bushels of corn in southern Indiana alone, is still fresh in the memory of those charged with directing the state’s war program, and they will seek to guard against a repetition of this costly experience. After Ernest Thornburg, president of the Indiana Corn Growers Association, had called the attention of the council to the results of demonstrations, which he said, “have shown in a clear that early planted corn gives the largest yields and stands the best chance of maturing in the fall,” the council agreed that no more important recommendation could go out to the farmers from the state government than that they plan to have their corn in by May 25. Planting began in many sections of the state April 25, Mr. Thornburg said. He also stated that late planted corn always runs the risk of being caught by early frosts and delay in planting also necessitates the use of smaller varieties which do not yield as well as the ones suited to the community and which occupy the larger part of the growing season. Indiana farmers are urged by the state council to plan their corn plant-, ing carefully and where possible to co-operate with each other both as to labor and seed.

The efforts of the food production committee have resulted in securing a supply of seed from Missouri, which Prof. T. A. Coleman says was taken from Indiana to Missouri two yeaYs ago and is native to this climate. This corn will be used generally in the southern part of the*state. For planting in northern Indiana counties seed has been secured in New Jersey and the food production committee now has an agent at work in that state endeavoring to purchase from ten to fifteen car loads, which will be sent to Indiana by express, in order that there may be a guaranteed supply in every county. Many farmers, it Was pointed out, are planting what they believed to be good seed, but which will be found after a test to have been bad. In addition to this New Jersey supply, the department of agriculture, through the efforts of G. I. Christie, of the Indiana committee, has agreed to set aside an emergency supply of 2,000 bushels, which will be used where replanting is found necessary.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I’ve made a million sad mistakes, I’ve made a million ghastly breaks. If all my bad breaks werp in view, if friends and neighbors only knew how many boneheads I have scored they’d feel they couldn’t well afford to have me on their calling list; and I’d go to the dump, I wist. When some poor delegate falls down, and puts a crimp in his renown, the wise boys, ever more on guard, come down upon him pretty hard. They hang around the marketplace and say his conduct’s a disgrace. A mighty impulse then I feel to stand among such groups and spiel, and hand out shining texts and saws, and stand up strong for virtue’s cause. But thank the gods, before I start, I always feel a change of heart. I get to thinking of my sins and errors, which are.' mostly twins, and I recall my vagrant ways; how I jumped town between two days, the sheriff half a rod behind; how I swiped pennies from the blind; how I w r as pinched for stealing hens—and then I put away* the lens that I have used to magnify the frightful deeds of t’otfier guy. I don’t believe that any gent has all the virtues in him blent to such a marvelous degree that he should feel quite prompt and free to take the hide from erring jay who’s wandered from the narrow, way.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Vive Clemenceau!

A Lesson by the Warrior of the Stout Heart.'

By GUY F. LEE.

“Give me six months to live/’ Clemenceau, seventy-seven, leader of France, said to his doctor Thursday. “That’s all I want.” Six months that he may see the Hun driven from the soil of his fathers. Six months that he may see a start toward the restoration of those quaint and beautiful towns, now only broken fragments of desolation and despair. Six months that he may see the husbandry of peace again-tilling the shelltorn ground for the return of the flowers and grass and trees. Six months that he mny see the homecoming of “le grande armee” — sound cheers for the millions marching along the Champs Elysee, and weep tears for the millions back there who are not coming home save in the hearts of the world. It will be a busy six months for Clemenceau ; 24 hours a day, his daily program, fils words to the doctor: “Tell me frankly if I can carry on for the next six months in that devil of a way I carry on now; six months is all I want.” Stout heart of a nation of stout hearts: may you have sixty times the six months you ask!

TWO KINDS OF PATRIOTISM.

Mr. Farmer, you have brought a lot of idle land into tillage this spring. You are going to raise all the grain and forage and live stock your farm can be made to produce. That’s one kind of patriotism, and a very necessary kind. Every farmer who brings a new acre of land Into cultivation is a soldier on the firing line for liberty and democracy. But there is another kind of patriotism that is just as necessary. It is just as necessary that the stuff you produce shall be put at the disposal of the fighting forces, as it is that you should raise it. That means money. You have money to pay for the labor of farming your land and producing grain and stock. The government must have money to buy your produce for the fighting men in France. Money is absolutely necessary to buv food, muni-

Safeguarded Investments Are your dollars Loafers or Workers? Money that is not invested pays do returns, any more than grain in the bin will grow crops unless planted. Every man or woczxn with money'should put that money to worx. Jay Gould once said that SIOO invested in the right thing at the right tinse would earn as much as a man steadily employed. He died worth hundreds of millions. The average man or woman knows nothing about how dr where to invest money to get good returns from it. It is our business to advise investors where and bow to invest, where investments can earn the best returns with the utmost of safety. Brokerage Department We huy or sell listed or unlisted stocks and bonds. If you are anxious to buy or sell let us help you. We can probably buy the stock you want cheaper than you can. We can sell your stocks at the best price or we can exchange non-dividend-paying stock for , stock that is paying dividends. Write to us about it. Underwriting Department We underwrite the selling of the stock of companies but before accepting an issue of stock for sale we make a most thorough and complete investigation of the proposition. It has to grade up A-l or we will not handle it. It is this type of investment that Jay Gould alluded to in the quotation above—- “ The right thing at the right tune." How To Buy Stock We will purchase stock for yon for cash or on the deferred payment pirn. We make a moderate charge for carrying stock on ths deferred payment plan but -you become entitled to all dividends, bonuses, etc., the stock you buy earns from the date your first payment is recorded. Let us explain this plan fully. Two Unusual Opportunities We have at present two exceptionally attractive opportunities. Both are gilt-edge • investments with large profit possibilities.

tions, clothing, ahips aad medical stores. You are doing your duty in raising the crops, that is very troe. Bat in a war like this one do man does his full duty who does not do all that he possibly can do. Bring out the grain you hare stored away. Sell it at the fair price fixed by the government. Bring out the money you hare stored up in the banks, or hidden away in your iron box behind the bars. Every dollar is urgently needed. Invest every idle dollar you have in Liberty bonds. The government will repay you in a few years. Meantime you will receive interest at the rate of per cent, with valuable tax exemptions, to make the investment better. Invest every dollar you can in bonds. Every dollar you bring o® of concealment means $lO added to the fighting capacity of the United States in the world war.

There is more catarjh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was supposed to be inerrable. Doctors prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to care with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional conditions and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Medicine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney Jk' Co_, Toledo, Ohio. i« a constitutional remedy, is taken internally and acts thru the blood on the Mucous Surfaces of the System. One Hundred Dollars reward is offered for any case that Hall's Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. F. J. CHENEY £ CO., Toledo, Ohio. Sold by Druggists. 75c.

It is a recumbent effigy of Nithiren, a Japanese patron saint, cut from natural granite rock on a hillside on the Island of Vshigakubi. in the inland sea of Seto, Japan. The stone image will be 240 feet long from head to foot, sixty feet longer than the Sleeping Buddha statue at Segu, Burma, and considerably large than the Sphinx in Egypt. ~.
