THE TIME TO PREPARE IS NOW. It is about time to opn up the joins of publicity for the next Liberty Loan campaign and it is going; to be a much different loan campaign than its predecenpors. There will he no begging and beating around the bush about the next loan and the time for us to get that fact fixed solidly in our heads is right now. You must begin to cut your cloth henceforth according to government demands. Fifteen billion dollars must be raised by the government through popular loans within the next year, it Is estimated, these to come about four months apart and the campaigns being to raise about five billion dollars each. To get this down into understandable terms, It means that every man, woman and cftild in the United States must contribute an average of $105 in the course of the year. If you have a wife und three children and you are a man in average circumstances, your share will be $o2" for the year. Of course there will be those who cannot buy an average of $10o worth of bonds for themselves and each member of their families, and there are others who can buy bonds amounting to great deal larger sums than those. Those who can buy many bonds will have to buy many and those who can buy few bonds must buy those few. But from some source this huge sum of money must be raised -AN'P IT WILL BE RAISED. Now is the time to begin saving for it. First loan drive starts September 28 and continue until Oct. 19. Again we repeat, cut your cloth according!'.

FOOD PROFITEERING. The loud and vociferous roars that are being voiced anent the shameless prices for foodstuffs that are being heaped on consumers by some of the profiteering grocers continue unabated. Instead of diminishing the protests grow in volume. Whether the swelling diapason will bring any reeults or not remains to be seen. A good many remedies are being suggested, but so far none of them have been put into vogue. One reader of this papei- says: "The only effective way to fight these pirates is for a bunch of people to get together and buy their etuZ in wholesale Quantities frora Chicago. They could afford ta ray one man to take orders and get them filled la Chicago cn a co-operative basis. Your paper is dead right in cal-ing the attention of the federal food administrator to this high-handed robbery, but. I cout whether we will get any relief. The food administrator is not Interested. The remedy lies in our own hands If we will only take it." Another consumer ho has been comparing price for foodstuffs in this territory and elsewhere said: There Is no doubt that the people are being gouged in an ungodly fashion and they will continue to be gouged as long as they will stand for it."
SCOUTS NEED LEADERS. The Boy Scouts of America, which builds boys up to be real men and soldiers, is in great need of scout masters or leaders. The appeal of th!a organization almost parallels with other -war demands, for the Scout body is the Junior T. M. C. A. of America end its members have aided in hundreds -of ways the great war campaigns of the last year. They have outdone their own ambitions. Young men who know how to handle boys, direct them end lire in the'r world are wanted for scout masters bo that the great organization of American youth xne carry cn and on and younger men who are not ready to t"o to war might do their country a service by devoting part of their time to a growing nation of men.
SUPERCARGO.
There is a current magazineetory which is bringing tears, and T.-'.th them a glow of triumphant. Joyous security, to i cn AiiV-ricm that reads it. The story Is of the "Extra Men" who travfl In each troop ship, and who fight with our boys in France. This et '- 1k het-n told before. In every land with a iiistory of . uu . f - : freedom of man. Engl::n 1 has ' i lu-..-i-ri Gho?;.' And Poland has the glorious r-yry which marches in the moonlight to Chopin's "A Flat Major Polonaise." The leader of the extra men speaks to the grandmother who lives on the road near Princeton field; who has just pent nor grandson to wnr, fif'h of his line to fciiht for liberty. "Every American is r-ady," bald her visitor. "I am ready. Ever' one who has ever fought for America Is going. Thre is a comp.iny of them buhtnd me. Listen!" Down the ror.d cnnici fam' clatfer of hoofs. "Some joined mo in Virginia, some as we crossed the Potomac. Others, old friend, met me as we came through Valley Forge." Some wen? in buff, some in shabby blue or coin gray. "They an of all kinds and ages, and some o? tbera were nor iilwavs friends " Th vistor put one of the sweet clove-pinks In his buttonhole.

HAIL TO OUR MINERS! Miners are going over the top with production. To increase their maximum efficiency they are making many personal sacrifices. They are giving up holiday picnics, Sunday picnics, and carnivals; they agree to appoint a committee of six instead of the whole colliery to attend a fellow workman's funeral. With these reports of the splendid work of the American soldiers in France come these record-breaking reports from our miners. The district representative for Alabama reports the production for the week of July 13 as 412,478 net tons, an increase of 32.741 tons over the previous high record which was 379,737 tons. The represenative for Bis Sandy and Elkhorn districts of Kentucky report an increase of 2no;; tons for the same week, the new record being 157,996 tons against 137,933 tons. This Is but part of the miners' smashing records. It is now up to householders to save as vigorously as miners are producing. Twenty million householders, by doing their part, will add millions of tons of coal to the miners' supply and thus be backing up our million men who are already in France. It is the determined co-operation of everybody the incessant, watchful resolve to all do our share that Is going to down the Hun in the long run.
WHAT BUTTONS SHOW.At frequent Intervals for the last four years The Rspublleanpress of the country has been calling attention to the importance of a protective tariff for the development and maintenance of the button industry. It has been shown repeatedly, at no expense to the government but at the expense of Republican editors, that we have here the raw materials, tLe labor and the machinery, hut that Germany and Japan had lower wage scales and limited the operation of our factories, especially after the Democratic congress in 1913 cut the import duties. Now comes the tariff commission with a report showing these same facts with the additional infarmatlon that since the war cut off German competition, America has taken the lead in producing buttons. Th war has served as a greater protection than a tariff ever did. But the war will not last forever. Neither will Japan and Germany, or other nations, he content to leave this country fre from competition if they again Invade our markets. The only safe course for America !s to restore an adequate protective tariff and do iT before the end of the war. We have had enough of postponing preparedness. The tariff commission is deserving of credit for confirming what the Republican press has been saying for years, but that gets us no where. What this country needs is a congress that will act in anticipation of the trade competition that is coming as sure as a peace treaty is ever signed.
