FINE U. P. SERVICE. To say that we are delighted this morning to f;n l In the most prominent place in the self-styled w. g. n. The Chicago Tribune a United Press dispatch telling of the British gains on the Somme is putting it mildly. The very fame dispatch was posted at 11:43 yesterday morning on the Times' bulletin board. It appeared In The Times' early edition at 1 p. m. and was o! . news by night, yet nearly twenty-four hours after the w. g. n. prims the V. r. story In first page limelight. It is the greatest testimonial imaginable to the splendid United Tress news and Its superiority over the A. P.

WE SAY LET HER GO.

lias multiplied, factories expand tl and

t rc.r.sportat ion facilities improved. A few chain store links hav since come to town, small s'ores run by cheap clerks, . Uing cheap good. so cheap people and hieh prices. The Calumet Record has lived this experience. It is not conjecture, it is not tuess work. We believe, that to succeed, merchants must keep their stores upen at hours convenient to their customers, not their clerks. Otherwise there will soon bo neither be merchants, stores, customers nor clerks." - Caiumet Record.

An application for permission to return to Germany has been made to the Government by Mme. Margarete Ober, a mezzo soprano who at one time ornamented the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. Her request has been referred to Washington In order that the Department of Justice may consider the danger of Mm. Ober's imparting to Germany such informataion as she may have absorbed In the past year or more. We are ignorant of the singer's capacity for the assimilation of military knowledge, but it is obvious that ehe could, if allowed to return to Germany, divulge important news, says the New York Sun. She could tell the Wilhemstrasse that America not only knows that it Is in the war, but knows also that in the Ppu1 Jones sense, it has not yet begun to fight. She could say that we have more men, real men, willing to be trained and to fight than any other country: that their Induction into the army is going on without a whimper; that only the head of the parade has entered France, but that the rest will follow without a break. She could say that Americans have bought bonds until they have come to look upon economy and selfsacrifice as a fascinating game at which twenty million families can play; that if money wins wars America

has this war in its pocket. j She could say that our greatest failure in physical

accomplishment has been in airplane production, and that the President, who has just remedied unfavorable conditions In shipbuilding. Is considering equally vigorous action of air fighting efficiency. Ehe could say that our wheat crops are going to be bumpers, that our corn fields are the largest In history, that war gardens dot every suburb, that meat is plentiful as to be unrestricted and coal so. abundant that lights are practically unlimited. She could say to the Junkers and. oh. the tears at the telling that the 15,00,000 Germans who. according to Berlin, were going to prevent the Unied S ates from entetring the war did not try to do that at all; that most of these millions are buying bonds, fending their sons to the training camps and cursing the kaiser. She could say that, throueh law or public opinion, the drunkard is disappearing; that the idler has gone, perhaps forever; that nobody is poor or hungry; that wages are high. She can say that she has seen Americans hang their heads with shame; but that was before America joined in the war. She could say that America, discordant in the past, on almost every political or social question, is united on the only important purpose of the hour to destroy kpserism, and, in ihe "moment of complete disillusionment," to spare none who support that evil institution What a bad quarter of an hour the lady could give to the Kniperor!

LAKE COUNTY'S SHOWING. In the big campaign for the third Liberty Lonn just

closing, Indiana has done her part nobly, as the Hoosier j state is in the habit of doinc. Some of the counties have j lyon a li'tle slow in reaching their quota, but doubtless the last one of them will go over the ton with honors I i

before the hour set for the close of the drive tonieht. The campaign has presented many ipterep.insr features,

Many wealthy localities have been unaccountably slow in j reaching their sllottment find ot'ieds of small means have gone over with a rush.. Pu of all coun'ies, per- j Imps, Lake county stands out as the most conspicuous I in the state, if not in the entire country. Up to the ; present Lake county has taken $.!! ,3"' in bond-, exr (' eeedinc its quota by more than U per con' The cov.n y ! has a population of in'.Oon and 4S.f-".l are bond holders, ; and the sales are still going on. The rem ark abb"1 par: of j this as viewed by the average individual is that an j enormous amount of bonds have been sold among the ! foreign people, many of thcra being unable to speak j English. Similar rf ports havf come ffom other loeaii- ! ties in which foreigners have been the heaviest buyers of Liberty bonds in proportion to their number, native born ' Americans in many tnstancen failinrr in their duty. j However, this c ndition is not so sfranire as it may ! appear at first glance. It is characteristic of human na- j lure not to apprerla-e the Hesstnsrs which have com-- ( with so little effort. Reared in an atmosphere in which: every opportunity for advancement is OeVtvd, and where t success and prosperity mav be had wi'h onlv nominal I i efforts, tie1 native born American accepts his eootl for-1 tune as a matter of course, as a child takes everything from its parents. With the foreigner it is differ n;. Tlej has been under tiie iron heel, it matters lin.le from what j country he came. Hi wasres have bet n .-mail, ami taxes j so high that he stood litile chanc- indeed to acquire I

properly, or even to o itain a ornfo-ta'de living. H- has worked harder in his native home than he ever worked here antl has accomplished no' hint;. lie would be dull indeed not to s.-e that the ilinv-rene" in his condition is tlue so'.ely to the differe nce in gov.-t nun ut . antl he is willing, unless he hits been the iiti::i of th" pro-German curse, to help the count ty wh'h has fostered him. We are too prone to look upon th" foreigner as a class apart. He is worthy of cultivation, and of the Lest efforts to Americanize him, and bring him closer to the native born citizen in his life ami aspirations. In most cases he will respond satisfactorily to efforts it; betterments. The foreigners of Lake county have set an example that may well be aiulated by our native born cit:;tt ns.- - Columbus Republican.

There is one remedy that seldom fails to stop itching torture and relieve skin irritation and that makes the skia softclear and healthy. Any druggist can supply you with zemo, which generally overcomes all skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pimples, rashes, blackheads, in most cases give way to zemo. Frequently, minor blemishes disappear overnight. Itching usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe, antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to ass and dependable. It costs only 33c; an extra large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is r.ot greasy or sticky and i3 positively gale for tender, sensitive skins. Toe . W. Rose Co., Cleveland, O

The consumer wants to pay a low price for meat The farmer wants to get a high price for cattle. The packer stands between these conflicting demands, and finds it impossible to completely satisfy both. The packer has no control over the prices of live stock or meat, and the most that can be expected of him is that he keep the difference between the two as low as possible. He does this successfully by converting animals into meat and distributing the meat at a minimum of expense, and at a profit too small to be noticeable in the farmer's returns for live stock or in the meat bill of the consumer. Swift & Company's 1917 transactions in Cattle were as follows: Average Per Head Sold meat to Retailer for ... $68.97 Sold By-products for .... 24.09 Total Receipts $93.06 Paid to Cattle Raiser .... 84.45 Balance (not paid to Cattle Raiser) 3 8.61 Paid for labor and expenses at Packing House, Freight on Meat, and Cost of operating Branch distributing houses 7.32 Remaining in Packers' hands as returns on investment . . . . $ 1.29
