JUNE 28. 1918 DECLARATION COMMITTEE Robert Lifingston, Roger Sher man, Johnilams, Benjamin Frank lin and Thomus Jefferson, as chair man, were appointed by the Contin ental' congress to draw up the Pb cb.ratlon of Independence. Policy demanded that a Southerner RhouM be chosen to write the Declaration in order to increase the probability of its unanimous adoption. Logically Jef ferson was the man lo carry this work through, for the masterly style of his pen was well known. With such co workers, though, it cannot be sup posed that he alcne was the author of the resolution, for the responsi bility had been assigned to all five Jointly and the counsel and advice of all were necessary. However, the credit of the phraseology is given to Jefferson, while John Adams is said to have given close attention to the revision and the amending of the resolution. job or go to Jail. Every loafer put to work releases a man who may help on the farm. Farmers need hands. Soldiers must have food. Farmers can't produce ' food unless they have help. The loaf j er is aiding the enemy whether he I means to do so or not. The man so I dead of spirit as not to realize his ! patriotic obligation must be forced to I realize it.

ONE MILLION ADDED TO NAVY YARD FUND Washington, D. C. The -."iiato and house conferees added an fl, 025,000 appropriation for the I'ugot Sound navy yard in the naval bill passed Friday. The items for which the sum is to be. spent are as follows. Improving central plant, $325,00';: purchase of additional land, $3t'0, 000; grading, filling and sea wails. $400,000. WORK OR FIGHT The weekly news letter of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has the following article as to putting the loafer to work: Work or fight! The Government makes that man datory upon every man within the draft age. Self-respect makes It mandatory upon every man of every age. If, perchance, there are any idlers and loafers continuing to lead lives of uselessness in your town despite war needs for man power, you can do a great deal to cause them to change their course. You can make a com plaint to the sheriff or chief of police or any officer, charging them with vagrancy. If the vagrancy laws are not being strictly and unrelentingly enforced in your community, yours is one of the very few places in the United States where those lawa are not being enforced. You can help to see that they are enforced. You can see that loafers in your section get a j LEST WE FORGET! During the Third Liberty Loan . campaign there appeared in a New York paper the following advertlse j ment: LEST WE FORGET! I He who can forget the little ones that lie mangled 50 fathoms deep un jder the shattered hulk of the Lusitan in; who has no reverence for the jdead and their devotion, no prayer for the dying and their anguish, no pity for the bereaved and the broken; whose blood Is not quickened by our ' perils, whose heart is not softened by 'our pains; who reads unmoved of Masted homes and wasted country sides, of desolated cities and dese crated shrines, of heroic Belgium, overrun but not conquered; of epic France and the noble dead that lie burled there the great dead that fought and the innocent dead that merely wept and waited. He who'cau forget these things or be indifferent to the sacrifices and the sorrows, the bereavements and the burdens of "ARISTOCRACY" DID ! NOT APPROVE i There Is a reference to the- first celebration of the Fourth of July In the autobiography of Charles Ithldle. ills memoirs were written late In his life, and consequently he fell qnlto naturally Into the error of suppos ing that the Declaration was first read to the people on July 4, 1776, instead of on the 8th. He says of the event ; in the state house yard, which he wit-, nossed: "I was in the old state house yard when the Declaration of Imle-i pendence was read. There were very few respectable people present." The! autobtographer must not be tuken too literally, for he did not mean what nowadays would be called respect able people. He alluded to persons of family and Bubstance, who In those days were the ones considered the respectable element u kir.d of nils-' tocracy, in fact.

DODD, P. M. WHAT HAVE YOU GIVEN UP? Have ycu given up your job and let your business future take care of itself? Have you said good-by to your family and friends and all you hold dear? Have ycu begun an entirely new career that many end, if you live, with health impaired, an arm off, a leg gone, an eye out? Have you given up your bus iness future and Bald gocd-by and taken a chance on coming back alive and well, and done It all with a cheerful heart and with a grim determination to do all you possibly can for your country? And do you only r.t times In the evenings, perhaps, when the light in the sky fades slowly away feel so homesick and so lonesome that you are fearful you will not have the courage to do your part r.fter all? You have not done these things? Ah, I see, you are not one of our Army or Navy boys; you are a stay-at-home person. Well, there have to be 20 or more stay-at-home persons for everyone who goes, and so cer tainly no disgrace attaches to being one if you fully ap preciate what those boys who do go have to give up and if you support them to the limit of your ability. National War Savings Day i.n June 28. That day gives you the opportunity of showing in a practical way that you do ap preciate what It means to the boys who go. Pledge yourself on or before that day to save to the utmost of your ability and to buy War Savings Stamps that there may be more money, labor and matorlals to back up those who fight and die for you. Don't say "What can I spare." But say "I'LL DO ALL I CAN DO, AND GO MY LIMIT FOR WAR SAVINGS STAMPS" This space contributed by Von A. Gray 8T, HELENS, ORKUOX A DOUBLE SERVICE When an American citizen, instead of spending $100 for something he wants, denies himself and lends the money to the government he per forms a double service. First he furnishes our government with $100 to use in the prosecution cf tho war. Second he has relieved to the ex 'ent of $100 the drain on our goo:ls i.ud services, that is, materlul and ta'mr. To make the articles or arti cle' he would have bought, or to manufacture others to take their place in the market would require materials and labor. In addition, to get the article to him labor and freight space would be required. By doing without the article he has left a certain amount of material to be used for war purposes, a certain amount of labor to be used In the same way, and he hao also relieved to a certain extent the. transportation facilities of the country.
