The Liberty Loan Drive By Walter S. Greenough
With the receipt of notice from the secretary of the treasury that the seventh federal reserve
district will be expected to return at least 150
percent of the minimum allotment in the Third
Liberty loan bond distribution, the Indiana or
ganization readjusted the clutch and is back "in
high." It must remain there, too, for the re
i mainder of the campaign, in order that the gov
ernment may have the benefit of the $80,000,000
of bond distribution wanted instead of the $53,
770,000 minimum originally fixed as the state's
proportion of the three billion dollar enterprise.
Salesmen have been called in by every county
. chairman and informed that their task has been
magnified more than the mere 50 percent of 7 additional bond distribution asked, by the neces- - sity of their reviving interest, rejuvenating their
': personal organizations and perhaps, in many instances reworking the territory once covered.
s There is a unanimous report of "we'll do our
; best," and it is upon this determination, that the - Indiana executive committee is depending for the results desired in Washington. ; It is becoming increasingly evident that the
task of raising money in Indiana agricultural
communities, feared because of the loss of the 1917 corn crop, is not the big obstacle in the pathway to success. The rural communities are responding in a very satisfactory manner, even in the face of the unexpectedly increased allotment. But some of the larger communities, such as Allen, Cass, Howard, St. Joseph, Vigo and Marion counties, where manufacturers, capitalists, captains of industry in fact the prosperity of the entire population are dependent upon the ability of the government adequately to prepare for the war, are apparently unmindful of the consequences of their failure to meet the financial requirements of the situation. It rests with f them largely, whether the state is to make a . creditable showing in the Third Liberty Loan . drive, and no explanation will suffice to answer I the charge of slacking. ' " In communities where personal, political or
other jealousies, rivalries or conflicts of interest have served to obscure the loan and its signific- . ance, the requirements of the situation are such
i that patience is no longer a virtue on the part of
genuinely patriotic citizens, and the obstructionists are being called upon to set all othdr considerations aside and devote themselves un- - reservedly and unstintedly to making the loan - drive a complete success.
Motor Transportation and Highways
Relief for freight congestion is sought in mo- - tor truck transportation. The determining fac-
tor in the success of this form of transportation " is the condition of the highway over which the ", route passes. It is apparent that poor roads will prevent the passage of heavily laden trucks and that a hard surface road will invite this form of transportation. The value of the National road, which passes . through Wayne county, as a military highway " has been pointed out long ago. Four years ago few of us believed the time was so near when it would be put into actual service for that purpose. - But the decision of the war department to send ;. army trucks over this route to the Atlantic seaboard proves how a few months may radically change our opinions. It is to be regretted that the old historic high- : way is not permanently improved all the way to Indianapolis, but it is gratifying to know that the work of hard-surfacing the road in Wayne county is making progress. Every patriot hopes t that the work can be completed this year, so that .the military establishment' may derive a benefit from the money which has been expended. f Among other important things which the war is teaching the American people is the value of I j good strategic roads not only for military but I
also for industrial purposes. The good roads movement has not been taken seriously enough by most of our people. Too many reserved the development of that phase of our national welfare to persons upon whom was wished the name of "cranks" and "dreamers." Today we see that the "cranks" and "dreamers" had more good common sense stored in their thinking boxes than the persons who condemned them. Next to its strategic advantage, the only reason that prompted military men to choose the National road for a military highway was the permanent improvements that .had been completed or were in progress of 'completion. When the road is hard-surfaced from here to Indianapolis, it will be a route of great importance industrially and militarily. It will afford a great relief to the rail congestion and give merchants a quick service. Some Truth in This, Too In a discussion on the floor of the House a few weeks ago, Representative Britten tittered a thought that is worth keeping in mind. He was referring to men who voted against every increase in the army and navy five and six years ago, and now, instead of getting down to a real study of - our war needs, take up the time of Congress with long addresses in which they extol their patriotism and loyalty. The United States knows that its representatives and senators are loyal and is not asking them to put themselves on record by long speeches. What it expects its representatives and senators to do is to bend every effort to enact legislation that will help win the war. This endeavor should be directed toward improvement in the war program and the enactment of legislation that affects our internal relations so far as they pertain directly and indirectly to the war policy. To quote Representative Britten: "The member who has just preceded me said, 'By their fruits, so shall ye know them.' It makes me weary, this canned and pickled patriotism that the House is subjected to from time to time by a certain number of gentlemen who are continually winding themselves about with the American flag for fear that the country will not know that they are patriotic. " 'By their fruits, so shall ye know them.' If I had voted in past years against every naval appropriation and against every military appropriation that was intended to put our country in
a state of preparedness I also would want to
stand around on this floor and continue to wave
the flag about myself to convey to the people of
the country the idea that I am patriotic at last
notwithstanding the fact that I had attempted to
throtle every increase in the army and the navy during my term of service in congress I would
continue to yell flag' and 'patriotism and 'loyal
ty' until the very heavens reeked with my voice and the people of my country had forgotten my miscruided conduct. I would be ashamed of hav
ing voted the way I had in times gone by.
would continue to bray, and bray, and bray about
patriotism and about that flag, and then crow like a barnyard rooster about what I was going
to do, now that we have gotten into this war.
"It is not necessary for a member of congress
to continually roll himself in the American flag
in order to induce people to believe that he is pa
triotic, that he is loyal. He is known by his fruits, as the Bible says, and as the member who
just preceded me repeated." Our allies in this war need men and materials
They are not doubting our loyalty. Let's have action. Unpreparedness was our deplorable lot when we entered the war. Let increased activ
ity mark our course now.
DINNER 5TORIEi A golfer had with him a caddie who was noted for his Irony and sarcasm. It was a day on which tho player's ball seemed to find every bunker on the course, and on one occasion he pulled his ball into a sand trap. As he walked up, anxious as (to bis fate, he shouted to the boy, who was standing by the trap: "Is my ball lying well?" He replied in his best manner, "Fine, If you were left-handed." The ball was unplayable, as the golfer was not ambidextrous. Mrs. Kleen Kitchen took down the telephone receiver and discovered that the line was in use. "I jut put on a pan of beans for dinner," 6he head one woman complacently informing another. She hung up the receiver and waited. Three times she waited, and then, exasperated, she broke into the conversation. "Madam, I smell your beans burning," she announced crisply. A horrified scream greeted the remark, and Mrs. K. K. was able to put in her call.
CONTRIBUTED VERSE
KULTUR? By Charles J. Cone. The shells are screeching through the air, And bombs are bursting everywhere, The big guns all are roaring; The Allies all along the line Are going strong across the brine. As on the Huns come pouring. The Germans do not count their loss, They only fear their kaiser-boss, Who seeks the world's dominion. They're sacrificed in thousands round To please this domineering hound, This crazy headed minion. No words are harsh enough to say. No treachery too great to play . Against these children killers, Who render out their dead for grease But practice "kultur" during peace (?) Then grind their bones for tillers. So we're at war with such as these, Who boast they'll bring us to our knees Before the fight is over, But wait till Pershing, Haig and Foch Start out to trim the pesky boche They'll drive them all to cover. 'Our battle lines may twist and curve, The Huns will try to get our nerve. But they will never break it. The morale of our fighting lads Is stronger than these Hunnish cads Their lies shall never shake it. We'll fight this war for years to come Before we'll let the "kultured" Hun
Win out in Freedom's battles.
They must be taught their lesson well,
And pay for all this earthy hell, These Huns the kaiser's chattels.
A
As the Mothers See It. From The Kansas City Star
YEAR ago there were millions of American moth
ers who felt they simply could not see their sons
go to war. The idea was intolerable to them
They sickened at the thought of the separation and the
danger. Today there is a different spirit. It does not
make the home leaving of the boys a light and easy
thing. But it exalts and transfigures the experience.
The mother who Eends her son feels that through him
she is having a share in the greatest undertaking in human history. The word "duty" takes on a new mean
ing. Now she understands in a way impossible before
the real significance of those great lines that Richard
Lovelace wrote to Lucasta, going to the wars; I could not love thee, dear, so much. Loved I not Honor more.

"Finally a neighbor brought me home a package of Tanlac Rheumatism Treatment and I tried it. That one package has put me on my feet. I'm still taking the treatment and am getting better rapidly. I hope to be able to go back to work soon and, to tell the truth, I'm looking for a position now.

By HAL POD There is a plumber here in town who is decidedly unique and original when it comes to- advertising his business. Th,e other day we were strolling quite unconcernedly down Main street when our attention was attracted to a display in this plumber's window. There was really nothing in the window which might suggest to, the passerby that this particular place did a plumbing business, with the exception of the name on the plate glass. The display consisted of two or three gocarts, a couple of baby buggies, and other paraphernalia which suggests to the mind most innocent babyhood. A sign over the top of the window explained the purpose of the display and was really quite unique in the form of original advertising. ''Spring is Coming," declared the sign. Which was all and quite enough. A little further down the street a furniture store had a wooden bed on display in the window, and hnng across the bedpost was a sign which declared, "We stand back of every bed we sell." Which is also quite enough. Wre'll buy our bed elsewhere. We also noticed a number of signs here and there which said, "Walk In." It is a cinch no chump is ever going to try to ride in. But about the best sign in town was the one up over the barber shop which ran as follows: "We believe in conservation. Come on and get shaved by a talkless barber." Frank Strayer, Wayne county's prosecuting attorney, was discussing his various and sundry duties the other day and growing eloquent, proceeded to deliver what mght be termed a "highbrow" essay. "Where would this guy John Pierpont Morganfeller be," Frank wanted to know, "If he would have stuck to the straight and narrow path when it came to selling gasoline? Believe me, I come across a lot of crooked guys in
this business. Why, some guys are so
crooked that If you'd stand them up

Mooreland, Ind., Sept. 27, 1916. This is to certify that I have been a sufferer for several years with piles and fissures of the rectum, suffering much agony. Many a night I have had to go out on the farm and walk half the night on account of the intense suffering. I have resorted to all kinds of treatment with only temporary relief. I was under a specialist's constant care at Richmond for five months. I was relieved for awhile but scon lapsed back, and candidly the first permanent relief I got was whn I commenced with the Inter-State Doctors at Newcastle, about June the first, this year.
And under their special treatment I have gradually improved until now the doctor in charge has dismissed me as well, and feeling no inconveniences, I am practically sure I am well. Strange to say, that in all the four months I have been treating with the Inter-State Doctors I never had to walk the field at night but once. They surely understand their business, the way they handled my case. URIAS PAUL, R. F. D. No. 1. There are hundreds of other people who has had the same joyful experience. The wonderful and more scientific treatment used by the Inter-State
Doctors is curing many of those who have been given up as hopeless cases by all the ordinary doctors. This explains why their Institute on the second floor of the Starr Building is always crowded with patients. People come hundreds of miles to be cured by these specialists. Any sick person is safe in going to
the Inter-State Doctors. Their exam
inations are free, but no incurable
cases are accepted for treatment.
These specialists treat curable cases
of all chronic diseases of the nerves,
blood, skin, heart, liver, stomach, kid
neys, rheumatism, paralysis, neuralgia, loss of nerve force, constipation, goitre, epilepsy, indigestion, dyspepsia, weak back, bloating, dropsy, blood poison, eczema, scrofula and all diseases of men and women. Open every day from 9 a. m. to 8 p. m. Adv. j
