They are the ones who must supplement, the

quest that the boys act. ' Let them write to their boys without fail.
Soldier's Insurance
Let the parents of the boys who are in the army take It upon themselves to see that the boys
provide themselves with government war-risk insurance. Boys are negligent and improvident. They do not look forward to the vicissitudes of the future. If they have plenty of money today, they are satisfied. .: The government has adopted an insurance measure that makes it easy for soldiers to obtain insurance against disability and to. provide for their dependents. Boys do not see the value of. allotting a small portion, of their pay to obtain this protection. Parents should not let them overlook the vital factor. Parents ought to write to their boys at once, calling attention to the merits of the plan, and urging them to buy insurance. Parents, brothers and relatives, may go a step farther.
Write to the commanding officer of the company in which the soldier is serving, asking him to explain to the boy the advantage of participating the wark-risk insurance. Officers are very glad to be of service to their men. They will consider it a favor if parents write.

Too Much War and Liberty Loan News
Some of our readers may . feel that we are
printing too many articles about the war and the
Liberty Loan campaign. Many columns of news
and many pictures and cartoons have been devoted to these topics in the columns of the Pal
ladium. That there has been an abundance of
this material, we will admit , gladly and without argument. But we believe that the persons who get tired of reading about Liberty Bonds are the ones who have neglected or refused to buy any. The continuous victories of the French and English on
the western front also must be a bore to those
who are slackers and cowards. And sad to say, it seems reasonably sure that many days will elapse before war news is crowded out of the paper for other articles of greater interest.

In Wednesday's Palladium can be found a detailed explanation of the plan. Read it over carefully. Then act. Two cents will buy the postage stamp that may induce your boy to invest a few cents weekly for the protection of himself and his dependents.
You need not worry about your son's ability to pay for the insurance. His pay now is ex- ' ceedingly generous. High army officers believe it is too big. It enables the boys to spend too much money for foolishness. With his food and clothing furnished him by the government, the soldier's pay virtually becomes spending money.- 1
The boy's nearest relative ought to consider himself a guardian of the boy's future. He can
administer his guardianship in an approved manner if he directs attention to war-risk insurance.
' The government is exceedingly anxious that
the boys take advantage of the offer. ..It was en
acted into law for their benefit.. To make sure
that the boys understand its provisions, the gov
ernment has called a number, of .officers and en
listed men from every cantonment to Washington to learn the details of the plan. These men will
explain its operation to the boys.

some persons will get tiiyd of reading it, but we know that these are the very persons that ought to read it. The most important question before the whole world today is the war. It overshadows every other news item. It is greater than our
national, state and municipal problems. Unless the war is won by our allies and our nation supplies the money to win the conflict, all of us are
going to get a taste of Belgium's fate and pay an
indemnity that will crush us forever.

Anything, Anything to Win the War

By Malame Nazimova (Famous Russian Actress.)
NEW Liberty Loan! For three billions! Can it be done? Yes! A thousand times, Yes. Anything, anything to win the war. It can be done;
it must be done; It shall be done! The war means only one thing the final effort of the human soul to achieve th.e right to realise itself in a society organized and governed by free men and free women. Magnificent, this titanic last grapple of the emancipated mind of man with all those powers of darkness and injustice complacently styling themselves "divine right." Americans must lead in this glorious fight And of all Americans, we who have come here from Enrope should be the first and the
foremost in our grateful efforts to win the war.
Russian. So I know.
We have been invited by the suffrage party to invent a suffrage slogan in behalf of the cause, to be used on a banner in the big parade. We have racked the old ivory for several days and have finally squeezed out the following slogan, and, though it be a poor thing, it is yet our own: You can always tell a suffraget But you can't tell her very much. But, on the level, boys, this votes for women thing is the goods. We have voted for j equal suffrage three times and have had It for breakfast, luncheon and dinner every day for ten year.
Any . woggle-eyed wimp who isn't willing to let his wife exercise the franchise is a Siberian . weakfish. Them's , our sentiments. Let her vote if she wants to, and when things go wrong at Washington she can't lay all the blame on you.
Get wise, boys, get wise.

Richmond Soldiers May be Home For Christmas Dinner
Richmond and Wayne county sol-i
rtiers, who have been transferred from Camp Taylor, Louisville, to Camp Shelby at Hattlesburg, Miss., may be granted furloughs to return to their homes at Christmas time, according to Forrest Boren, of Bethel, in a letter to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Boren. "The general said he would bet $17,000 we would all be home at Christmas and I hope he is right" Boren writes. He also says that the Richmond and Wayne county men may be transferred to the Phillipine islands Boon to take the place there of the soldiers of the regular army who have been sent to France. His letter follows: Camp Shelby, Miss.. Oct 20.
We left Camp Taylor at 1 o'clock! and went to Louisville and stayed i
there until 2 o'clock and arrived at !
' Camp Shelby at 5:30 o'clock yester- ' day evening, making about 27 hours on the road. We made the trip In pullraan cars. People all along the ' way waved and cheered as we passed through their towns. At one town, Brookhaven, Miss., they learned we were coming and telegraphed, ahead and had the train stop and the Red Cross association gave us ham sandwiches and hot coffee. We all thought the National Guards would be a hard bunch and slur ois because we were drafted but they are a Brand bunch af fellows. We are all sleeping in tents but
they have floors and are wainscoted about three feet high. They are putting small stoves in them. We are only 75 miles from Gulf Port on the Gulf of Mexico. I understand we may go to the Phillipine Islands in a few weeks to take the place of the regular army who will leave for France. I have heard talk everywhere on my way down that we would all eat
Christmas dinner at home as the war cannot possibly last until that time. The general said he would bet $17.000 we would all be home Christmas, and I hope he is right , Well, I can think of nothing else to write about. FORREST. Co. D, 151 Infantry,-Camp Shelby, Miss.

SALE OF SUGAR IS RESTRICTED
NEW YORK, Oct. 26. -The first war ration since the United States went Into the war went into effect here today, when retail stores throughout the city restricted the sale of sugar to from two to five pounds to each customer at 10 and 11 cents a pound, the lower price prevailing only in those stores where patriotism ranks
about avarice. The present famine conditions in the sugar trade are not expected to be relieved before Jonuary 1 when the first of the new crop arrives. Details of the plan to conserve the meagre supply and keep the price at 11 cents maximum were worked out yesterday at a meeting of refiners, wholesale and retail dealers. Under the rules adopted housewives will be able to buy from their grocers once every ten days or two weeks bags containing not more than two, three and a half or five pounds, according to the size of their families. Large consumers will buy direct from the wholesalers. Out of 14,000 retail grocers In the city more than half were represented and agreed to the program.

It is neither too sweet nor - too tart, but just sweet enough and tart enough to be delightful and fascinating. Apella is healthful as healthful as the fine fruit from which it is made. Apella adds to the charm of the mystic Hallowe'en. It is a sparkling, bubbling drink, which
promotes good fellowship and laughter. . Get in tune "with the season by serving Apella at your Hallowe'en party. For sale at groceries, soda fountains, clubs and cafes. MADE ONLY BY , THE NATIONAL FRUIT JUICE CO. LAFAYETTE. IND. '
