SAVE THE PITS
Apparently Useless Seeds of
Great Value
It has been brought to the attention
of the Reclamation and Conservation de
partment that the following materials
are badly needed in connection with the
manufacture of .carbon for gas masks.
Peach Stones.
Prune Pits.
Cherry Pits.
Apricot Pits
Plum Pits.
Olive Pits
Date Pits.
It Is directed that all of the atone*
and pits be carefully collected from nil
the mess halls, thoroughly dried In the
cun, and bagged: All of the. above clasrch
should be mixed together, as it i> not re
quired that they be eparated They
should be bagged in strong, sound bags,
and will be called for by thi department.
It might ifem like a small hem to con
sider, but we have found that thebe .small
things..ar a really necenary In warfare,
so do your share by collecting all the pits
r.nd seeds possible.
Don’t throw them away.
Collecting United
States Taxes
In th* execution of Hie policy of pay
ing as largo a proportion of the ex
pt naea of the war by taxation as pos
sible the treasury Is making every
»>if<rt to collect all federal taxes due
to the United State
The deportment has evidence against
tnany who have fought to evade taxes.
Senns of these tax evaders are. Amer-
residing or sojourning In
Canada. A corps of specially trained

Canadian communities where many of
these tax evaders reside to obtain tax
returns from them
i A Tougb Customer
The toughest customer ever discov
ered by the New York Department of
Health was Mike, a ringtail monkey,
who throve on disease germs and wax
ed blithe and chipper on deadly inocu
lations that, were sufficiently potent to
kill a whole.racing-stable full of horses.
At one time and another, Mike receiv
ed 18 Inoculations, the germs running
all the way from measles to anthrax.
He was a gteat disappointment, how
ever. After each Inoculation the doc
tors would gather around and wait tor
lim'to dee*!; over, but, Instead of thta,
Iwflep his whiSkeri
l. -old curi, and -J?le ,J radiate
health and energy. Bored by Mike's
persistent and offensive robustness the
doctors decided to gt rid of him. They
accordingly gave hhb an especially,
deadly inoculation—whereupon Mike
gained two pounds and cried for
heartier meals. Then a kind-hearted
animal-lover heard about Mike, begged
him from the Department of Health,
and gave him a good home where the
only germs are those which float In
through the windows. The signifl
caqin part of the whole affair is tha;
the doctors made no effort to find out
what, made Mike so healthy. That,
though it. had no effect, on Mike, is
what makes the rest of us ill. Kenneth

CONVERSION OF LIBERTY BONDS.
The privilege of conversion which arose
in consequence of the Issue of 4 per cent
bonds Os the Third Liberty Loan will ex
pire on Novernhber 9 next and under ex
isting law can not be extended or renew
ed. Delay in evorclslng the privilege will
result tn overburdening the banking n
sttutlons of the country and the Troast
ury Department by making it accessary to
handle all conversions at the last mo
, ment and may result In many cases In
th# loss of the privilege of conversion
altogether.
Holders of coupon bonds are strongly
adtvlsed to exchange them tor registered
bends in order to protect themselves
against the risk of loss, theft, and de
struction of their bonds.
The banks throughout the country, as
a matter of patriotic service, will doubt
less all assist bondholders In converting
and registering their bonds.

Thoughts of a Negro
Trooper at Camp
Hancock
Many people of my race and of oth
ers races have the wrong idea of r .nip
life and have passed, their many de
cisions that camp life is an unhappy
one. ’ But s uch decisions are wrong.
Camp life is a hap. y life and a p leas
ant. one. Os rour.w some' of the boys
may get home sick at first, which is
quite natural. But after a few weeks’
stay that homely feeling vanishes
from their minds:
Then a ques tlOn presents Itself,
what are w e here for? We are hero
preparing ourselves to kelp wage a
just war against the imperial Ger
man government, which was we re
gard for Christianity and less for
mankind. They have trampled Bel
gium under their feet. .They have
overthrown the throne of Russia with
their propaganda.
England and France, with their ten
acity. are holding out wonderfully
against a foe that has been preparing
for war for Forty y oars. It’s true
enough that the kaiser was prepared
for war. He had his field artillery in
fine working condition. With this ho
Became self-conceited. Ho thought
that his armies, with such monstrous
machine guns, would mow the armies
of England and France down, and
Great Britain would then ba at his
mercy And with his unrestricted sub
marine warfare he thought the navies
of the world would be afraid to ven
ture across the Atlantic with aid to
help them. And he would then have
the whole European world at l:is com
mand. He has proven this to be true ,
himself when he dictated to this coun
try is to h ow our s hips should sail to '
different parts of the world
It was then he trampled o'er the
Monroe Doctrine When any nation
treads upon the Monroe Doctrine, it's
then they ignore the stars and stripes.
But they will s oon recognise them ■
again, tor we must win this war. Thon
our armies will float the stars and ;
stripes from the higest tower in Ber
lin And I feel confident tha. every
man that is a trueborn citizen of this ,
great United Republic had rather
shoulder arms than to see this coun
try g o down in history as being de
feated. Our country Is waging a Just
war to liberate women and children
front the clutching hand of a foe.
Since Jesus died to make men tree
from sin. so 1 et us die to make men
free. Then the American children of
the future generations could look over
history's pages and say to themselves.
Or tell the world. If any nation has
paid the penalty of sin with blood to
make men free without a doubt Qod
knows it must have been out Ameri
can fathers.
We will not shun the battle fields
where the canons are roaring and the
bayonets are glistening, but fighting
to uphold a just cause we will strive
to make our pathway to glory.

While the Urtited States is prepar
ing to take up the Fourth Liberty
Loan, a far larger issue of bonds than
any previous one, the Imperial Ger
man ifinister of Finance and the
Reichsbank are working out plans for
a pew war loan there.
It is interesting to note the difier
ence of method here and in Germany.
Official circles in the enemy country
are said to recognize that recent mili
tary reverses Will make it difficult to
float the new loan. Therefore theat
rical organizations and societies of
artists have been ordered to further
the loan propaganda by plays and
songs. Also, as with previous loans,
business and commercial houses will
have to take allotments of the new
bonds. Workers will have to make
subscriptions, and out of each week’s
pay envelope a certain amount will be
kept to pay for the bonds. In other
words, Germany will raise the money'
for its new loan by compulsion. The
powers of the government will be ex
erted to take the money.
The United States is not organized
on those lines. Here the government
asks for subscriptions to its Fourth
Liberty Loan, but there will be no
compulsion about ft. Whoever lends
Ids money to the government wUI do
so because he believes in the right
eousness of America's war and wants
to help win a victory by every means
within his power. There will be no
orders issued to banks and business
firms to take up a certain amount of
the bonds.
No worker will be compelled to sub
scribe, regardless of his domestic,
problems and financial condition.
FAIR PLAY FOR OUR FOREIGN-BORN FIGHTERS
Ever since this country was born it
has been regarded as an asylum for
.the oppressed, the promised land of
the lover of liberty. To escape the
injustices of the feudal system in Eu
rope many of our forefathers burned
their- bridges behind them, and with
scant resources but plenteous courage
they crossed the ocean and conquered
the wilderness. To get away from
the shackles of birth in the Old World,
to recover lost fortunes and to enjoy
the freer air of our democracy, men
have continued to "go West" from
Europe down to our present time.
One person in every three in this
country was born in a foreign land.
Practically the same proportion exists
in our army. Many of the foreign-bom
have entered the ranks, although they
could have taken advantage of the fact
that they were not fully naturalized.
Mast of the foreign-born soldiers in
our Army have had little opportunity
to enjoy the advantages that this
country offers. Newly arrived and
often handicapped by inability to
sneak our language, they have been
obliged to work hard for small wages
and live in crowded cities, where they
have often doubted the truth of state
ments they had heard about, this being
a land ot milk and honey. In the

Washington.—A second campaign
for clothing for the 10,000,000 men,
women and children in occupied parts
of Belgium and France will be con
ducted by the American Red Cross
for eight days, beginning Sept. 23. In
requesting that this drive be made,
the commission for relief in Belgium
said that at least 5.000 tons of cloth
ing will be required to keep these peo
ple warm during the corning winter.
Garments of every kind, for both
sexes and all ages, are added, said the
appeal issued today by the Red
Cross, together with piece goods that
can be made into sheets, blankets and
baby clothes. Only garments of strong
materials will be accepted. It will not
be necessary to mend the garments•
as the repair work will give employ- '

women in the occupied regions to ■
which clothing will be sent.

PRINCIPLE AGAINST PELF
There will be vast organizations of

: their time and talents to further the

they have to, but because they deem i

This sharp contrast in the methods j

ITALIAN KING DROPS IN TO

Rome.—The interest of the king of

by his chance visit at the bedside of
Coles B Seeley, American Red Cross
ambulance dr ver, accidently wounded
recently by discharge of a hind grenade
near one of the A. R C. ambulance sta
tions at the front.
| The missile had exploded in Seeley's
hands, severely maiming his fingers and
cuasing inJuYy to , his eyes.
’ Steeley was lying in an' Italian surg cal
j hospital, visited daily by American Red

thousands of .mile's that lay between him
and home. .Unannounced, the king walk

There is often more foundation beck -

Claras Letter To Charley
Being the Letter of a Country Girl
To Her Soldier Beau
Dear Charley. -
Charley I hope vou are not mad at
ne for not writing for the past week but
you see 1 was over to Jaybird for sev
eral davs visiting Aunt Pelrona. I left
very Pop came home to
iinher and said. “Clara, you’re Aunt Pet
s sick.” You know he always called'her
Pet. ‘ You had better go over and see
what you can do.” ’Well, you can just
bet I was glad to get out of this old
pcitv town and go over to Jaybird. Jay- I
bird is not much of a place but anything l
is better than this town. When I got j
there I found that Uncle Selim’s wife. I
Rcsabede and Minerva had come down I
from Rinards Mills and they were doing I
ail that could be done. Ail I had to do
was to talk to Aunt Petrona —and that
is a job in itself. You see Aunt Pet
was left the greater part of Grarid Dad’s
money and both Pop and Uncle Sflim
have been fussing around since her di- |
Well, over Sunday. Chaney, who do you

much better now since he buys his
clothes from a Chicago Mail order house. [•

half way decent. Sunday evening we I
took a buggy drive over to the Falls and j

you during- the entire drive. Charley; I ;
old him all about you and when he
laughed and said ”1 was only fooling
him”, I told him to turn right around
and go back home. Ain't I right. Char
ley? Lou siid he was going to the Offi
cers' Training School at Camp Taylor
pretty soon. Why don’t vou try to go to
a Training School, Charlev? You would
be such a nice looking officer.
The girls here in Jaybird are going
to hold a picnic in The Grove tomorrow.
It is tn honor of lafayette's birthday. Just
what honor a picnic is going to do poor
old dead Lafayette. I can not figure out.
But any way we are going to have a
picnic and they invited me to go along.
Hant victories against the Austrians.
Ail American lovers of liberty would
Slid pleasure in reading the lives of
Garibaldi and Cavotlr. Some day we
may have the equal of Dant* or a
Jdicbeelangelo, but we Americans can
search our history in vain for such
i now.
Pages might bo written about tho
; victories and triumphs of all the na
i tionalitiet about which gome of us
j spesk in derision. When we do so
: seriouily we only reflect on ourselves.
! That in itself is not important. It is
! only when our actions directly inter
fere with our military effectiveness
[that they cause real concern. Every
1 time a foreign-born soldier is insulted
with derisive epithets he becomes
more of an alien than ever, less en
thusiastic about fighting for the peo
ple who deride him, and more than
ever willing to listen to those who
would use him for a tool in causing
trouble.
The foreign-born soldier in our army
can be made a great asset or a great
liability. He can fight as well as any
man if he is given proper opportunity
for training and is made to feel that he
can enjoy the fruits of victory with
the rest of us.
To fail to understand and get along
with the man born in another country
is to be narrow and provincial. The
same ideas of liberty, the same aspira
tions for justice and the development
of democracy beats in, the heart of the
Pole, the Jugo-Slav, the Scandinavian,
the Armenian, the Italian and the
Greek as in our own. We are fighting
to make the world safe for democracy,
the liberation of small nations and an
equal opportunity for all men.
In our army are men who come
from small oppressed nations and from
almost every corner of the earth. It is
a denial of all that we seek in fighting
to mek-e them feel like despised stran
gers in a strange land. Most of all, it
makes the army as a whole less united,
less efficient, less powerful
Late in the afternoon the boys are com
ing out and will bring us home T hope
we have a good time for I do hate
slow old picnics. Some how rhe boys ul
wax’s make a picnic so much better. Ain’t
1 rigst, Charley?
Now Charley write me real soon and
tell me all about yourself. Ido love to re
ceive your letters.
I have to close now and get ■ eady for
tonight. One of the boys here in town
! is coming to see me and maybe I can
I manage- to have him to take me to a
i Movie Show There is an awfully good
i picture on. entitled. “Ruth Rolands Sec
ond Marriage.” I'd like to see It. The’
j say it has a good moral to it.
All my love
