Man Must Submit Steals Groceries

Capt. Xemiah Brookes of the Salvation army delivered the following sermon Sunday morning at the army headquarters: "Thy kingdom come," L,uke 11-2. kingdom suggests ruler, subjects and territory. "When man becomes submissive to God's rule in life's journey, then the Lord's kingdom of righteousness, joy and peace In the holy ghost becomes established in the heart and life, which makes the Individual the saint of the Lord, that speaks of the

I glory of Cod's kinpdom and of His j power and wonderful work.

'T.ibie study, prayer and obedient action enlarge man's capacity pertaining to God's spiritual kinpdom, which feeds the soul and produces Christian heat like the feeding of the stove fire with the best coal possible that warms the hearth and heats the meal to cooking point for consumers benefit. "God's kinpdom is one of purity. Thos- who are made pure in heart and life by repentance, faith and renewing power of the holy spirit through Christ's atonement, become ehpil le to the kingdom's privileges, which is the heavenly Father's

And Gives Them to His Friends

Carlo FabrI, Z1Z V. Ninth st., Mishawaka. was taken into custody Sunday morning at 9 o'clock by Detective James Cutting of this city and Mishawaka plainclothesmen after nearly two dray loads of groceries, valued at approximately $700, had been found at his residence and the homes of his relatives residing In Mishawaka. FabrI Is an Italian grocer of Mishawaka. He was charged with larceny by trick three weeks ago, but was released on bond. He is now being held without bail. An a;!l'.lavit was filed against Fabri by II. s?. Conrad of the Hoosier Wholesale Co. of this city. According to local wholesale grocers, Fa.ri has been buying goods upon consignment and has been unable to pay for them. Whenever a collector called for money or the goods, the latter were gone. Mr. Conrad became suspicious of Fabri and detectives watched him. Saturday Ofiicer Cutting and the Mishawaka policemen, armed with a search warrant, visited his home and tho-e of his relatives and found approximately all of the goods that had been sold Fabri in the past six months.

WASHINGTON'. Jan. jl. Liberty bonds investors were warned j by Sec'y McAdoo tonight to beware j of irresponsible persons offering' other securities in exchange. In a ; statement appealing to bondholders to "hold fast to the b.-?t invest- i

in the world," Mr. McAdoo

said: "It has been brought to my attention that a large number of patriotic citizens who subscribed to Liberty loan bonds of both the firt and second issue are being approached from time to time by agents who have with too frequent success, induced them to sell their Liberty loan bonds and take in exchange securities which in a number of cases have been of very questionable value. "Through the intensive work carried on during the two Liberty loan campaigns, a patriotic army of over 10,000,000 bond buyers in this country ha.s been created. It is of the utmost importance that the investments of this army of patriots should be safeguarded in every possible way, and that their action in lending their money to their government shoud not be taken advantage of my irresponsiHe people seeking solely a profit for themselves. "I therefore warn investors in Liberty loan bond-? against exchange of these evidences of their patriotism for any securities or so-called securities. While smo of the securities, o'r so-called securities, offered in exchange for government bonds are of sound value, there i no doubt that a large percentape of 'hem are worthless.

wheat bin this year, and we can't i realize that the only genuine help

afford to assume it will be filled next year. Uut the thing we can do is to dig into the wheat bin less and into the potato bin more; to eat, here at home, more potatoes and less bread, and thereby leave the wheat bin free for military requirements. In order to effect this program cooperation of all the people is necessary. The holder of potatoes, whether a farmer or a middleman, who hoards his stock, is doing a thing that will be unprofitable and ihat is unpatriotic although he may not so intend it. And the person who does not increase his or her potato ration, at the same time

he gives his government is 1 y keeping his bond as nn investment as long as it is possible for him to do so. Where, because of misfortune or imperative necessity the holder of :i Liberty bond is forced to sell, there can. cf course, bo no objection."

If we don't eat it here at home this winter and next spring il will be wasted wasted at a time when the war for the yorld's liberty will be won by the side that can maintain longest and adequate food' supply. About the middle of next June a new potato crop will come in. If the potatoes now on hand have not been intelligently marketed and gradually consumed before that time it is probable that the holders will all try to unload at the same time. In that event the market will be glutted, there will be more potatoes offered than can possibly be consumed, and quantities will be absolutely wasted. And the effect will not stop there. The producer will be indisposed to plant another large potato acreage after such an experience, and we may go into the winter of 191S with a short potato supply and at that time the urgency of food for the fighting forces in Europe, the American armies and the armies of the allies, will be much greater than it is now.
