Now is the time for all those
slackers who have said “I’ll tight
when the Germans come to Amer
ica,” to go up to the Jersey coast
and enlist in the navy. —Irwinton
Bulletin.
The captain on the U-boats
which attacked the Texel in Amer
can waters had been in America
before, which accounts for his
showing some signs of being a
gentleman.
No doubt Kiser Bill thought he
was thoroughly prepared to whip
the world. But he evidently did
not realize how Dig the the world
is. At least he had not figured
on the Americans.
Airplane construction in the U.
S. now* amounts to 2,475 planes a
month, or practically 30,000 per
year. This is comforting, in view
of the fact that it was said only a
few weeks ago that we had not a
single airship in France.
It was not with the view of
teaching the lesson of thrift that
Uncle Sam started this big war
savings campaign. It is because
he needs the money to run the
government of the United States,
and it is the people who are ben
efited by this government who
must support it. Uncle Sam does
not ask for a gift of your money,
merely a loan.
Between now and the 28th of
June sit down and figure out for
yourself just how much you are
going to buy in the wav of War
Savings Stamps before December
31st. If you w ill think carefully
over the past six months, you can
probably find that you expended
monev for many things that you
could have done very well with
out. Save it for your country.
The German “Token.”
The God which the Kaiser does
not kneel to has a vivid represen
tation in the “Token” worn by
every German soldier which Rev.
Dr. Nowell Dwight Hillis calls in
the New York Evening Sun, “the
most damnable thing that was
ever suggested by the devil in two
thousand years.” Never, he as
serts, “did an object so small send
forth cruelties so large and mani
fold.” We read :
“The little disk is stamped out
on thick paper for German priv
ates and upon aluminum for the
officers. At the top of this card
board is the portrait of that awful
being called by the Kaiser ‘our
good old German God.’
“Look at his white hair, the
long beard, and the great sword
in the right hand, with the sug
gestion that since God uses the
sword the German soldier must
cut men to pieces also.
Beneath you see flames gushing
up, suggesting to the German sol
dier that he is quite right in
burning the houses of France and
Belgium after he has looted them,
and for flinging the dead bodies
into the blazing rafters. Now
read the words written beneath
the face of the being the Germans
call God.
“ ‘Strike them all dead. The
day of judgment shall ask you no
questions.’
“Strike dead old men and wo
men ! Dash the children’s brains
out against the stone wall! Vio
late voting girls! Mutilnte their
fair bodies so that they will be un
seemingly when they are found
by the husband or father. Burn,
steal, kill —hut remember that
your Kaiser and the War Staff
have promised to stand between
you and God Almighty and the
day of judgment! Even if Jesus
did day, ‘Wo unto them that of
fend against my little ones,’ you
must remember that your Kaiser
and officers have promised you
immunity on the day of judgment.
“That is v\ hat is meant by the
sentence on page 31 in the Ger
man handbook of ‘War on Land
That which is permissible to the
German soldier is anything what
soever that will help him gain his
goal quicklv.’
“Nothing better illustrates the
total collapse of manhood in the
Germans than this soldier’s token.
“A coward by nature, the Ger
man is afraid to kill and steal, and
so he invented a screen behind
which he could hide and named it
‘the soldier’s token.’
“Going into a French village the
Germans collect the women and
children, order them to inarch in
advance, shoot a few to terrorize
the rest, and then, hiding behind
this living screen, the Germans
march forward. In this way they
protect themselves.
“The whole history of the hu
man race contains no chapter of
atrocity like the atrocity of the
Germans. The history of the
world contains no story of cow
ardice so black and damnable as
| ttie cowardice of the Germans.
jOut of cowardice the soldier’s to-
I ken was born.
“And so the Kaiser and the War
Staff invented this round piece of
cardboard, with the representa
tion of God as going forth with
his sword to kill men and with his
flames to burn them and with the
motto, ‘Strike them all dead, for
the day of judgment will ask you
no questions.’ ”
Hun U-boats accomplished noth
ing whatever in their raid on
i American shipping, as the Ameri
can people are far too sensible to
be alarmed by such acts.

Atlanta—A very unique plan has
been decided on by the Georgia
War Savings Committee for the
purpose of waking up the state of
Georgia in the forthcoming in
tensive W. S. S. drive in June.
From June 14 until June 28 it is
planned to have all church and
fire bells, factory whistles and
other mediums of noise, ring and
blow, and blow as loudly as they
know how, every day at 12 o’clock
noon. Every man, woman and
child in every community, on hear
ing the noisy demonstration, will
interpret it as follows:
“Wake up, Georgia! Sign the
pledge to save and buy all the
War Savings Stamps you can.
Wake up!”
The state wide concert will be a
clarion call to duty, and won’t dis
turb anybody except Bill Kaiser—
and no loyal American is very so
licitous about Bill Kaiser’s welfare.

Show by what’s in you that you
are in a place too small for your
talents and the way will open for
your advance, says the Pennsyl
vania Grit. It doesn’t pay to keep
a ten dollar man doing a three
dollar job. But you must make
the boss see that you are worth
trusting with more important
things before he dare take a risk
with you. Besides the fellow
that’s always looking around can’t
give the proper attention to the
task he’s at. If he gets real busy
with his present job he will be
more likely to see opportunity
when it comes and he is certainly
better fitted to grasp it by the
forelock.
Dangers of Costiveness.
“Auto - intoxication, headache,
lassitude, irritability, “blues,” sal
lowness, blotches, are among the
resuits of constipation. If long
neglected it may cause piles, ul
ceration of bowels, appendicitis,
nervous prostration, paralysis.
Don’t delay treatment. Best rem
edy is Foley Cathartic Tablets, as
many thousands know from expe
rience. They not only do their
work surely, easily, gently, but

A man purchased a mare and a
few days later discovered that she
was blind. Going to the horse
dealer he declared angrily :
“She’s stone blind ”
“I know she is,” was the ready
response.
“But you neve told me a word
about it.”
“Well, you see,” explained the
dealer, “it was rather a delicate
matter. The man from whom I
bought her didn’t tell me anything
about it, so I naturally concluded
he didn’t want it known.”

Should you be in the market for a
car I would be glad to have you call and
show you the cars and talk the matter
over with you*
This is one of the best cars on the
market as is attested by the fact that
those who have used the car and know
it are its best boosters. For appearance,
durability and price there is no car that
can approach it at anywhere near its
selling price.
