Liberty Loan Thought Fix this firmly in mind s Liberty Loan Bonds determine Prosperity in this war and after the war Not even a Yank can fight long if his stomach is empty. To fill that hole under the Doughboy's fill his Browning gun magazine with hard-hitting bullets To keep up the stock of American "knock out gas" for the Kaiser To maintain an inexhaustible supply of bombs, for blasting a road to Berlin To keep on hand depth bombs enough to blow up all the German submarines Everybody Must Buy All the Bonds He Can of the Fourth Liberty Loan. Moral Buy Liberty Bonds September 25, 26 and 27.

Also Worth While Praising 1 While the Yanks have been making things hot for the Huns, their mothers and sisters have been making cans hot for vegetables and fruits. Every indication points to 1,500,000,000 quarts of foodstuff canned for winter consumption by the mothers "over here." Reports to the Department of Agriculture from manufacturers of canning supplies show a fifty per cent increase in the number of firms

that make canning supplies and an increase of twenty-five per cent in the quantity of equipment sold. Makers of rubber rings for'-cans report a three hundred percent greater demand for their products than last year. Instructions of the Department on home canning have been published by more than 125 firms and distributed free throughout the country. The directions have been translated into ten languages and went into the homes of thousands of women of alien parentage. Many a housewife was tired after a day's work over a hot range or gas stove, but she didn't get the "tired feeling" that enervates strength and undermines morale. Far be it from so. The hotter the weather the more she thought of the cold days of winter and of the big store of canned stuff that was growing in her basement. Every can of fruit and vegetables was to her a bullet for the kaiser.

. The French poilu and the British Tommy are tired of four years of muddy trenches and dusty roads. Tired of destruction, desolation and death. The Belgian civilian is tired of the iron heel of the teuton oppressor; The French civilian behind the Hindenburg line is tired of the Hun's curse. And some of our own boys may be just a little tired of being 3,000 miles from home. But you don't hear anything about them paving the "tired feeling." Their spirit hasn't been crushed by four years of tragic suffering. They are out to win. Time and again they have stayed the savage rush of still more savage Huns. Time and again they have rallied with their backs against the wall. Fatigue has been blotted out of their dictionaries. How disgusting the whimpering and wailing of a few "tired" ones at home who long for the day when they can spend with abandon for pleasure and luxuries I How abominable in comparison with the sailors and soldiers of our nation who endure privation, suffering and death because they believe it is their duty to be martyrs ! Try to visualize the expression of contempt on the face of a soldier knee-deep in mud with shells bursting all around him, or of a sailor frost-bitten and shivering as he stands on his post, when he reads that a few at home have the "tired feeling" because they are asjced to subscribe for

the fourth Liberty Loan issue. We talk about being tired of investing our money with Uncle Sam. What about the tired women of conquered France? What about the hungry children of Belgium? Tired 1 There is no record of a Yank being too tired to take another shot at the Hun.

"CURFEW"

Are You Tired of Buying Bonds? Are you tired of investing your savings in Liberty Loan Bonds? Tired of supplying the money Uncle Sam needs, tired of hearing further calls for investments, tired of reading the appeals ?

German Morals at Low Ebb Carl W. Ackerman In the Saturday Evening Post. RECENTLY the Berlin Social Democratic daily, the Vorwaerts, published a remarkable confession by the edi&rs, -which they called "The Bath of Steel." It was a review of the effects of four years of war upon the morale and morals of the German people. "Nearly four years ago, when the world catastrophe

broke upon us," the editorial began, "there were Inspired war prophets who spoke of an ethical steel bath in whose youthful springs the lazy, murky morale of the German people, made bo by too long a period of peace, should be cured. "Since August 4, 1914, we have had the blessings of these baths upon us with steadily increasing power, and the result is a moral health condition of the German people about which the tables of criminal statistics presenta convincing report. These tell us of the steadily Increasing number of brutalities, of the tejrible property robberies; and a "glance over the pages of any favorite newspaper confirms the increase in the number of cases of robberies and thefts in the cities and country. Strongly organized and methodically working bands of robbers continually threaten the life and property of the socalled respectable citizen." The editors continue by saying that there is hardly a German citizen who has not. violated some good German law during the war -from the wealthy, who bribe farmers for extra food, to the shoe dealer, who will not

sell shoes unless his customer can provide an extra pound

of butter. There are, the article states, wives of officers

who sell food that their husbands steal from the army canteen; there are firms that rob the government of carloads of war materials. Neither packages nor registered

letters can be sent safely through the mail.

"That there has been a universal decrease in the moral principles of the people as a direct result of the war no one will question," the editors concluded. "The bath of steel has been given the homes of the proletariat

as thoroughly as the nurseries of the nobility."

The small bey sometimes sees straight and sees far. He reads the signs of the times unabashed. John, at a co-educational school, cut quite a figure at the examinations, but failed to get the highest marks awarded in his mixed class. His father was astonished and incensed. John beaten by a girl!' "John, I am prprised to find that you have allowed yourself to be defeated by a mere girl." "Yes, father," says John, unblushingly, "I have; but I can tell vou something jrls are not so very mere, after all."

War Secretary Baker said at a luncheon in Washington: "Ours will be the most democratic army in the world, for ours is the most democratic country. "A millionaire, as he climbed into his limousine, snarled at a newsboy: "'No, I don't want any paper! Get out.' " 'Well, keep your shirt on, boss,' the newsboy answered. 'The only difference between you and me is that you're makin' your second million, while I'm still workin' on my first."

Now that the price of hair cutting has hit the ceiling, the old boys who have sworn to r-.ever visit a barber shop until Bryan is elected president will have plenty of company. In his campaign speeches Senator Vardanmnof Mississippi said he had often disagreed with the president His constituents decided that disagreeing with the president is a nonessential occupation.

Another king is trying to put a crimp in the autocracy business; Obah Logobola, king of Dahomey, has enlisted at Camp Upton as a private.

Japs and Yanks will fight side by each in Russia. Boy, page Capt. Richmond Pearson Hobson. Something wrong here. Trotzky has declared war on the United States. But, can he do that without paying for that instalment furniture out in the Bronx? With haircuts costing a dollar each we will all have to become concert pianists.

One other thing that we refuse to worry about is the report that the price of ice at Etah, Greenland, has advanced.

In a Brooklyn colored church they kept a sword to "drive away the devils." The other day it was stolen. Let it be hoped that the guilty party is on the Way to France with a purpose.
