McAdoo that the huc ces8 of the second -Liberty loan would have been impos '' Bible' without the loyal' support anil co-operation of the people of the country, and that that support was stA-ured by the indefatigable and eai;nest work of hundreds . ot thousands of, patriotic nien and women throughout the ' United States. v Well may-the secretary of the treasury thank these splendid volunteers and patriots who made the f'ght for the Liberty loan. In addition to the thousands anil thou sands of individual workers, he mentions particularly the press of the country, the bankers, the Liberty loan organ iziitioiis'in every state, city, town and community.' the women of Amej'ica, the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the business men, patriotic, organizations co-operative and fraternal organizations throughout the land, and .those employers of labor in large, numbers who gave every op portunity to their employes to subscribe to the bonds. There is something partie'hu'ly patriotic in the liberal support given the second Libt.ty loan by the soldiers and sailors of the United States, having enlisted their lives iu'jthCj sejvlwv .o their country, they 'have enlisted their t Ji'sMif iitJy'llBby fire worthy of every needed sacri fice on the part of the people to strengthen them and ' enable them to win the vi'ctory. -.. ' iiUNNING A WAR j showed how persons were even gossiping about the Hod Cross, about the army, about the President,, about the ! Cabinet. Loth men and women are subject to ilie malady. iiossipcrs Jove to wander around mysteriously, telling alleged secrets, niost of which are products of their .'own diseased imaginations. Much of the gossip about the Hed ( 'j'oss, the one organisation in the world which is free from criticism and which is managed by men of lofty motives who serve without pay, has been traced to foreign agi tato. s. W hat a pity that Americans repeat such enemy propaganda? There is-one thing that you will notice: .flic ones who speak evil of others,' who are suspicious ot other persons' motives, who a'.'euso persons and-institutions of dishonesty. 'and. corruption without evidence, are usually worth watching themselves. ' .. . Of course, .we are all anxious to -serve 'our ountry. Would fhat some could make their rebellious tongue-; patriotic, too! ','.' , . . What a blessing a moratorium on go'ssin, durin period of the war, would be, ' , . o AMOUNT OF THE SECOND LTHEKTY LOAN EASTERN OATS CONTAIN WEEDS tin The amount of the second Liberty loan subscriptions which will be accepted, is $3,808,7(ili,b"0, which is the ,0(i()i(.),0!() offered and one-hulf of the ovcrsubscrip !ion of approximately 54 per cent. Secretary AfcAdoo states, in answer to inquiries, that the full amount of the subscription "will not be ae.'Ople'd for the reason that the; government must not alter, the basis upon which the issue of bonds was offered: that the banks and (he rmblie have ad hinted themselves to the lasis of the 'offering: as originally made: and that it would be extremely unwise to alter that basis after'the subscr'm- fcions have been received. - . . - "Lord Northc.liffe is the one man big enough to tell the truth about running the war, without getting in trouble. No doubt he nud President Wilson are working together, because Lord Northcliffe would not speak out in meeting, while a guest of the United States, without having con sulted the President. In brief, Lord Northcliffe told David Lloyd George that he must improve his manage ment of the war, or the United States would take it over and run it. - Which is true and which President Wilson will undoubtedly do sooner ol' later, unless the allies piac; the direction of their military operations under the central allied war council. This will be done, and there will be the steady, gradual improvement whiHi will end it soon General liaig's great victory yesterday was due to the spurring of the military forces of (3 rent .Britain, due to Lord Nordthcliffc's warning -and Lloyd George's plain speech that he was dissatisfied with, the conduct of the military operations. Once the Italian line holds and the Germans are forced to retreat again -on the west front, the. outlook will be better for a decisive German defeat. This is needed to bring the Kaiser to a realization that his cause is hopeless.' ..Which, it is.: : Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON He Sportsmanlike WIipii winter's knocking at the door it'.i well to huvo a goodly ato.-o of coal and hums anil cheese; to have supplies of nhoea and cloaks, and prunes and hay and artichokes, and other things like these.

Here are a few examples of the possibilities of service: The ' Farmer : Think of the possibilities of selling produce by the means 1 1 , . 1 of typewritten letters sent out to customers? Type written letters give the sunder a business standing with the people who receive them and also enable the keeping of carbon copies of the 'correspon dence, which many times docs away with misunderstandings and lawsuits. The General Store Merchant: More prompt and courteous treat- 1 meat is likely to be accorded his orders and correspondence with the City jobber and manufacturer if his letters are typewritten. In The Home : The boy or girl who is intending to follow a business career can secure no better stsrt than a knowledge of typewriter operating. Children who Icam to use the typewriter learn spelling at the same time. The housewife finds it a great convenience in writing recipes and for general correspondence. No Clergyman should be without a typewriter. It is of great assistance in preparing sermons and writing t. C. SMITH & BROS. TYPEWRITER CO. L. C. SMITH & BROS.
