OFFICE NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES ncation. In class one, which will be called first we find three well known characters, all of the type of man who never can find a Job for him self, and it seems that his I'ncle Samuel has easily found a job tor him. They are: men who do not sup port their wives, men whose wives unnort them, and men whose wives ' have an independent Income ' from which they are supported. The fellow who has failed to as sume the responsibility of this world will assist In protecting those of the nation, and In many Instances it will be a great thing for the com munity In which he resides, and his wife as well. i ! BE LOYAL The, three years of struggle that European countries have suffered hss brought to most of them inter nal strife and revolution, that is being caused by the enemies of those countries working through classes of people that questioned the government and the people In power supporting it. There are in the United States a number of elements that are not over loyal in times of peace, and it has been the habit of the govern- ment officials to ignore these people and their expressions. Just now the situation is quite different, and if anyone is. not ex actly In sympathy with the presi dent and his cabinet, it shows good Judgment at least to say very little about it. The real test for 'this country will not come this year but will follow after two or three years of fighting and the trials that come with these hardships. The United States government will no doubt profit in the experi ence of other nations, and deal very harshly with those who are out spoken against it. We are in this war to win, will win, and in so doing the real Americans and those who are much less will be easily discernable.

Peoplo In every state In the Union and in Canada have asked for copies: Ottumwa, Iowa "The Infernal Region June S8. 1917 "To Wilhelm von Hoheniollern Kin of Prussia. Emperor of all Germany and Envoy Extraordln ary of Almighty God: "Mv Dear Wilhelm: "I can call you by that familiar name for I have always been very close to you, much closer than you could ever know. "From the time that you were a undeveloped being In your mother1 womb I have shaped your destiny for my own purpose. "In the days of Rome I created roughneck known In history as Nero. He was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that par ticular time. In these modern dayi a classic demon and efficient super criminal was needed and as I know the Hoheniollern blood I picked you as my especial instrument to place on earth an annex of hell. I gave you abnormal ambition, like wise an over supply of egotism that you might not discover your own failings; I twisted your mind to that of a madman with certain normal tendencies to carry you by a most dangerous character placed In power. I gave you the power of a hypnotist and a certain magnetic force that you might sway your people. I am responsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled con dition embitters your life and de stroys all noble impusles that might otherwise cause me anxiety; but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity. I placed In your soul a deep hatred tor all things English, for of all nations on earth I hate England most; where Eng land plants her flag she brings or der out of chfcos and the hated Cross follows the Union Jack. Under her rule wild tribes become tillers of the soil and in due time practical MAZOLA the pure oil from Con) for better cooking MS. J enames the housewife to save butter, lard, suet, in accordance with the plans of Food Administrator Hoover. Get a can of Mazola from your grooer and try it for deep frying, sauteing, short ening or salad dressings. Then you will understand why thousands of American housewives have discarded their former cooking mediums. Your money refunded if Mazola does not give entire satisfaction.

I planted in your soul a cruel hatred for your mother because SHK was English and 'left my good friend llismarck to fan the flume I had kindled. Recent history proves how well our work was dune. It broke your royal mother's heart, but I gained my purpose. The inherited disease of the Ilohcniollerns killed year father. Just as it will kill you. nml you tie- nine the ruler of Germany and a tool of mine sooner than I expected. "To assist you and your father hasten my work, I sent you three evil spirits Nletsche, Treltschke and later Bernhardt, whoso teachings inflamed the youth of Germany, whol In good time would be willing and loyal subjects and eager to spill their blood and pull your chestnuts yours and mine. The spell has been perfect; you cast your ambi tious eyes toward the Mediterran ean, Egypt, India and the Darda nelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the ambi tious duke and his more ambitious wife stood In your way. It was then I sowed the seed in your heart that blossomed into the assassina tion of the Duke and his wife, and all bell smiled when It saw how leverly you saddled the crime onto Servta. I saw you set sail for the fjords of Norway and I knew you would prove an alibi. How cleverly done ; so much like your noble grandfather, who also secured an assassination to remove old King Frederick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two prov inces that gave Germany an oppor tunity to become a naval power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes a Hoheniollern to make away and get by. "Your opportunity was at hand. You set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing. Your rape on Belgium caused much Joy. It was the beginning, the foundation of hell on earth. The destruction of noble cathedrals and other Infinite works of art was hailed with Joy in the Infernal regions. You made war on friends and foes alike and the murder of civilians showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your treachery toward neutral nations hastened a universal upheaval, the thing I most desired. Your under sea warfare is a maBter stroke. From the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusitania you show no favorites. As a war lord you stand supreme, for you nave no mercy, you have no consideration for the baby clinging to its mother's breasts as they both go down Into the deep together, only to be torn apart and devoured hy sharks down among the corals.w "I have strolled over the battle fields of Belgium and France. I have seen your hand of destruction everywhere; it's all your work, super-fiend that I made you. " I have seen the fields of Poland, now a wilderness fit for prowling beasts only. No merry children In Poland now. They all succumbed to frost and starvation. I drifted down into Galicia where formerly Jews and Gentiles lived happily together. I found but ruins and ashes. I foil a curious pride in my pupil for it was all above my expectation. I was in Belgium when you drove the peace ful population before you like tat tle Into slavery. You separated man and wife and forced them to hard labor in trenches. I have seen the most fiendish rape committed on young women and those who were forced into maternity wore cursing the father of their offspring and I began to doubt if my own Inferno was really up-to-date. "You have taken millions of dol lars from Innocent victims and called It Indemnity. You have lived fat on the land you usurped and sent the real owners away to starva tion. You have strayed away from all legalized war methods and In troduced a code of your own. You have killed and robbed the people of friendly nations and destroyed their property. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a' bluffer of the high est magnitude. You are a part of mine, and yet you pose as a personal friend of od. Ah, Wilhelm, you are a wonder. You wantonly de stroy all thijgs in your path and leave notning lor coming generations. I was amazed when I saw you form a partnership with the Impos sible Turk, the chronic killer of Christians, and you a devout wor shipper in the Lutheran church. 1 confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle to me. A mohammedan army, com manded by German officers, assist ing one another In massacring Christians, In a new line of warfare. When a Prussian officer can witness a nude woman being disemboweled by a swarthy Turk, commitlng a double murder with one cut of his sabre, and calmly stand by and see a house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you, , but have been extende to the whole German na tion.

The great key of Hell will be turned over to you. The gavel that has struck the doom of damned soujs since time began Is yours. I am satisfied with what I have done, that my abdication In your favor Is for the very best In terests of hell In the future I am at your majesty's service. Affectionately and sincerely, Lucifer H.

First door noith of Lyric CHANDLER SIX Choose the Chandler Because It Offers So Much More BY people who, are familiar with motor car values the Chandler is most commonly compared with high-priced cars, because. In so many essential features of design, con struction and equipment, It checks so closely with the high priced cars. And because so few, if any, of these distinctively high-grade features are found in other cars selling for less than $2000. . Yet the Chandler price is only $1595. The intelligent automobile purchaser is not misled by further threatened price advances of cars striving to maintain some degree of a leadership that has passed. There have been some necessary price advances within the year. And some unnecessary ones. If you choose carefully from among well-known medium priced cars you will choose the Chandler, because of its extraordinary value.
