The New Liberty Loan

Three billion dollars are needed.

The government is not risking the loss of this tremendous sum by asking the American people

to subscribe for it.

The reputation of every man who can but will not subscribe is at stake. Patriots will take their share of the three billion. Slackers and

cowards will refuse to co-operate.

Investment of your dollars in this loan is safe

So long as our government stands, just so long

will the Liberty bonds be good.

Tt is a crood wav to save your money. And

while you are saving it, the government will be able to buy the munitions that our armies require. . If our government and its .allies do not win this war, we might just as well be prepared to hand over billions of dollars to Prussia for war indemnities. Prussia will rule the world and the United States will be a tribute payer. A cheerful purchase of the second great war

credit of our nation will make this impossible. It will let the government go ahead to make the arrangements necessary for the crushing of our foe. America is entering the war with the same spirit that marked its handling of the Panama canal project. It made gigantic preparations and completed a gigantic undertaking in an astounding manner. The same obtains of our preparations for active participation in this struggle. If you will stop to remember that one manufacturing plant in Richmond alone is making 120,000 hospital tables, you may acquire a slight understanding of the big scale on which our country is fighting. Millions upon millions of dollars are needed for this task. We must supply the money.

Select More Seed Corn The largest quantity and the best quality of seed corn is available now. Hence, this is the time to lay aside seed corn for next spring. Five cogent reasons for the selection of seed corn are adduced by a recent bulletin of the Department of Agriculture. They are of great importance because next year the farmer will again be the man upon whom will devolve the task of feeding the nation and helping the allies feed their armies and people.

The five reasons for increasing the seed corn

supply are:

(1) First-class seed corn is scarce almost every

spring.

(2) Extended plantings and replantlngs practically

exhausted the hold-over supply last June.

(3) In some sections this year's crop has been de

stroyed by drought or early frosts. Farmers of these sections should now arrange to secure seed from localities possessing climatic conditions similar to their own.

(4) In the localities favored with a crop this year.

next year's crop may be destroyed, and there should now

be selected a supply of locally adapted seed for 1918 and a hold-over supply for the 1919 planting.

(5) Hail 6tonns, floods, and droughts yearly destroy

millions of acres of young corn, making second and third

plantings necessary. Seed corn dealers who provide ample supplies of seed of early maturing varieties render valuable service by prompt deliveries for these emergency plantings.

Revelations of a Wife BY ADELE GARRISON

The Least that Can Be Done Relative to the three billion dollar loan that the government is floating, Secretary McAdoo in his speech at Indianapolis said : "The least that can be done for the Americans In the fighting forces, Is to give them the means of defending themselves so that when they meet the Germans every brave boy at the front will know that in his hands, put there by American love and American skill, Is a weapon, the best that possibly can be devised, that will give him a possible superiority over his foe. We must be just as

willing to sacrifice all our money as they are willing to sacrifice their lives for us." Wayne county's quota is $1,900,000. It is estimated that every family must subscribe for $250 if the loan is to be floated. The least that every American can do is to see that the boys who fight for us have enough muni

tions and supplies to make war as befits Americans. .

.What the Soldier Asks

H

From the Toledo Blade.

AVE you ever asked the soldier what he would

most like to have you do for him? We think that after he had gone over his list of desires care

fully he would answer you in this wise: "If I am shot, I want to be shot cleanly, with my face to the enemy. I do not want to be shot in the back. I do not want to be blown up at sea by an infernal machine which some plotter has placed in the hold of the transport. I do not want to be poisoned by some wild, proGerman fanatic who has been given a chance to tamper with my food. I do not want to run chances of dsath because rascally politicians have sold out to the enemies of my country and have seen to it that necessary provisions are withheld from the troops, surgical materials from

the hospitals, proper shells and cartridges from the artillery and infantry. What you can do for me what you

may have to do for me if you wish to ee me return home alive is to make it impossible for pro-Prussians and

pacifists and faithless politicians to kill me or betray me into the enemy's hands or break my heart with shame for my country." This entire business of crushing disloyalty resolves itself into saving the soldier from death from the rear. No one can alter that fact one particle by complaining

that constitutional liberties have been encroached upon, t

the freedom of speech and of the press have been destroyed. For if the people who complain wish for anything passionately it is for that which will destroy Americans in khaki.

A Letter From Jack ' 1 As soon as Dicky had left the house after our argument over my proposed club proposition, I called up an employment agency, asking that a took be sent to me. This done, I cleared away the dishes and washed them and prepared the dessert for dinner. Then,

andine the want advertisements of

the Sunday papers, I looked carefully through the columns headed "Situa

tions Wanted, Female." "Cook, German-Hungarian, lrst-class wishes position; sleep home, best references. 967 East One Hundred and Twenty-Seventh street, basement." This appealed to me for two reasons, one that the woman offered ref

erences, the other that she would sleep at home. Our apartment was too small to house a maid in addition

to ourselves. If I were obliged to rent a room in the building for her it would add more than I cared to pay

to the cost of her maintenance. "Cook, good all-around, private fam

ily, sleep in or out, references. 564 East One Hundred and Sixth street."

This also appealed to me, but could find no other items in the column which looked even possible.

I clipped the advertisements and

fastened each neatly to a sheet of notepaper. Then I wrote beneath each

one: "Please call Thursday or Friday,

Ask for Mrs. Richard Graham, Apart

ment 4, 46 East Twenty-ninth street." i I addressed the envelopes properly, inserted the answers in the envelopes,

sealed and stamped them, then ran, out to the post box on the corner

with them. I walked back very slowly, for there was nothing more that

needed to be done, and I could put off no longer the settling of my problem. I locked the door of my room, pulled down the ehade and, exchanging my house dress for a comfortable negligee, lay down upon my bed to think things out. I tried to put myself in Dicky's place, and to understand his reasons for objecting to my earning any moneyof my own. I sat upright in bed as a thought flashed across my train. Was that the reason? Were his objections to this plan of mine

I found I was shaking with a nervous

chill. I had lain down and pulled the

covers closely around me in the en

deavor to get warm. I must have fallen asleep.

Throwing off my negligee and put

ting on a little afternoon gown, I

twisted up my hair into a careless knot and hurried to the door. The

ring had been the postman's. The afternoon newspapers lay upon the floor. With them was a letter with

my former name upon it in a hand

writing that I knew. It had been for

warded from my old boarding house

The superscription Iqpked queer to me, as if It were the name of some

one I had known long ago.

"Miss Margaret Spencer, and then,

in me craDDea nanawrmng of my dear old landlady, "care of Mrs. Rich

ard Graham."

I opened the letter slowly. It bore

a New Orleans heading, and a date

three days before.

"Dear little girl," it began. "A year is a long time between letters, isn't

it? But you know I told you when

left that the chances , were slim for getting a letter back from the wild

territory where I was going, and

found when I reached there that 'slim'

was naraiy tne wora. i wrote you

twice, but have no hope that the let

ters ever reached you. But now I am back in God's country, or shall be

when I get North, and of course my

first line is to you. I am writing this to the old place, knowing it will be forwarded if you have left there. "I shall be in New York two weeks from today, the 24th. Of course I shall go to my old diggings. Telephone me there, so that I can see you as soon as possible. I am looking forward to a real dinner, at a real restaurant, with the realest girl in the world opposite me the first day I strike New York, so get ready for me. I do hope you have been well and as cheerful as possible. I know what

a struggle this year must have been

for you.

"Till I see you dear, always your "JACK." I finished the reading of the letter

with mingled -feelings of joy and dismay. Joy was the stronger, however. Dear old Jack was Bafe at home. But there were adjustments which I must

make. I had my marriage to explain to Jack, and Jack to explain to Dicky. Nothing but. this letter could have so revealed to me the strength of the Infatuation for Dicky which had swept

me off my feet and resulted in my marriage after only a six months' acquaintance. Reading it I realized that the memory of Jack had been so pushed into the background during the

past six months that I never had thought to tell Dicky about him.

what he pretended they were? Did

he really fear that I might have unpleasant publicity thrust upon me, and that some of our pleasure plans might be spoiled by the weekly lecture engagement? Or was he the tjpe 'of man who could not bear his wife to have money or plans or even thought which did not originate with him? I resolved to find out just what motive was behind his objections. If he were willing that I should try to earn money in some other way I would gladly refuse this offer. But if he were opposed to my ever having any income of my own the issue might as well come now as later. A loud ringing of the doorbell awoke me. For a moment I could not understand how I came to be in bed. Then I remembered. After the deliberation of my quiet hour, when I had determined to find out just what was Dicky's motive in opposing my decision to earn some money of my own,

PREBLE'S THIRD GROUP LEAVES WITHOUT NOISE

Thirty-Nine go to Camp Sherman Deputy Treas

urer in List. I - - EATON, O., Oct. 4. Thirty-nine Preble county boys, representing the third detachment held for military service, were sent today to the cantonment at Chillicothe.

Members of the contingent assembled here Wednesday afternoon and were officially sworn into service. Many who found it convenient returned to their homes to pass the night, while others were quartered In the city.

Centerville Farmers to Plant 4,000 Acres In Wheat This Fall

CENTERVILLE, Ind., Oct. 4. "This we take it is the finest shot for Uncle Sam ever sent out from this section," said Creitz and Deardorff, elevator men, this morning, "and by this we mean that the farmers of this section will plant at least 4,000 acres in wheat, as we have cleaned 8,600 bushels for seed.". Wheat is coming In by parcels, but cars are lacking. The following farmers have brought in the past two weeks approximately the following amounts, valued at the average price of $2 per bushel: Douglas Monger, 210 bushels, $420; Fred DeMoss, 300, $600; Floyd Tremps, 463, $S30; William Haley, 150, $300; A. Cheesman, 700, $1,400; E. M. Dynes, 500, $1,000; Wayne Stanley, 400, $800; Charles Burris, 200, $400; Jackson and Russell, 500, JoOOfHarry Lambert, 100, $200. This represents an outlay of $S,750 in two weeks' time. Most of these farmers have not fin

ished hauling to the elevator.

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA TO DARKEN HAIR

She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to Bring Back Color, Gloss, Youthfulness.

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaksd and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a 50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use. This is the old time recipe improved ty the addition of other ingredients. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or sof: brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. Adv.
