THF: editorial above referred to was the tirt of the series that appeared on the front page of The News-Times during the "conscience"' week that preceded the "volunteer drive," for the Fourth Liberty Loan. It may be remembered that The News-Times contributed a front pate column each day of that drive, by its editor, to assist in the fourth loan. According to James M. Brown, president and editor of the Editor "and Publisher, a magazine for newspaper men published in New York, editorials from 6U newspapers, representing a majority of the leading ones in the country, were entered in the contest, all of them written and published before the contest was opened, and therefore not prepared in anticipation of it. The judges made their decisions without knowing the names of the editors or the newspapers represented by the editorials placed before them. A similar certilicate has been received by The News-Times as a reward of publication. "The editorial ("Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide"), follows:

BY JHN HF.NKY ZFVKK. This column is to he devoted to the Fourth Liberty Loan drive wa ka until South Fend. Mi.sha--'t. JosfpU county, have de livered tlu'ir quota. It if space that all the money in the world cannot buy. Nothinc under the sun, save this world war. and the consciousne.ss of its importance, could induce the appropriation. The drive begins Saturday -temporarily ;t "conscience drive." not for the sale, but the FFKF HAS 1 3 of Liberty Fonds. Th" sale may have to ome later should the local conscience not prove sufficiently responsive. That term, "conscience drive," belonps to The News-Times, and is used advisedly, for the inverted psychology of it. When it was suesrested to a member of the Liberty Loan committee, he thought 'silent drive" the best; that a lot of people mit:ht not know what a "conscience- drive" meant. In this he was probably half right. Fonsoience js n unknown quantity to a whole lot of folk--. Frevious Liberty Loan. I ted Cros and "War Chest" oampaier.s have proven that.

A joint meeting was held .at tho Studebaker school Wednesday afternoon in charm; of Miss Lelia C. Ole, city home demonstration agent. Mrs. Keltner, 14-minute speaker, spoke in the interest of food conservation. The women of the district held an exhibition of made-over garments and plainly demonstrat-d that many pieces of serviceable and good-looking clothing may be had from gar m.'nts that have been discarded. Miss Ogle spoke on "The Textile Situation." and explained the urgent need for conservation of wool and cotton. She told of th great demand for these materials and as the supply of them is hardly normal, there is a great shortage that can only he taken care of ty great conservation on the part of the consumers. The government, probably the greatest consumer of woolen materials, since the close of the war has ceased to be in the market an 1 has relieved it erectly. But th enormous demand overseas still exists and nerds to be taken care of. The next meet inn at the Studebaker school will be held in eight Nvceks.

mm mm o'er with the pale cast of thought; enterprises of much pith and moment?" If you can entertain a single thought which to you seems more sublime, or if you are capable of contemplating a single enterprise more important than winning this world war. you are at least not fully Americanized, and your conscience, assuming that you have ever possessed such perishable property, must be on a vacation. Americanism, pure and undeliled, spells liberty, equality, justice, with democracy i.t rock-bottom as the evolving and enforcing power. In these fundamental respects America is as a hundred million "souls with but a single thought." That thought is to win this war and win it quick, regardless of tho cost, to which, in the language of the revolutionary fathers, "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honors," are pledged. It is up to you to your full share.
