Let's be ready with our Investment and not waste the time of the com mittee haggling over non-essentials. Patriotism calls for SACRIFICE. It Is up to us to make the sacrifice of our lives. Uncle Sam will pay 4 per cent Interest on the bonds a high rate for such sound- security. We must dig deep and invest every nickel that our circumstances will permit. Let's do that and do it cheerfully and promptly. The big drive begins Saturday and continues for three weeks. Help the local com mittee to get quick results. THK LI1SKUTY LOAW (By Floyd Kyle, sophomore at O. A. C. and graduate of .the Central Point high school.) The American nation is now en gaged in a great world war which is to determine whether democracy or Prusslanism shall reign. For suc cess, every possible means shall be utilized. The men are now in the trenches and more men are going daily, but men alono can not win a war such a3 we have to contend with In central Europe. As war Is carried on today, money Is one of the Im portant, if not the greatest determin ing factor of the war. Ready specie to buy food, clothing, ammunition, etc., will give the United States forces a distinctive advantage. The United States, which leads all other nations In the possession of gold, is going to subscribe her wealth to com bat the Hun Prusslanlsm. The wealth of the United States is not stored away in bags lying idle In the national treasury, but Instead is circulating among the people. Therefore, now that the time has come when the government is in need of part of the gold, she must call It in from the public. Not as a dona tion, but tho opposite a loan to the federal government with a fair rate of Interest, making a profitable In vestment for the people, and at the same timo enlisting their money for a righteous cause. It Is well understood that the U. S. will not receive any Indemnity from a vanquished foe, no matter how de cisive the victory. Tho money, therefore, must be raised by taxes and other sourcs of revenue here in the states, it behooves 'every man and woman in tills free country of ours to be n Liberty bond owner, and then by vlrtua of this thrift and economy to Bave the amount of his bonds. If, however, bonds are pur chased and sold again, little" good Is realized. For each Individual should help bear the financial burden of tiie war, und try to save enough in the ensuing months to cover the amount of his loan to tho government. Sacrifices of the most rigid order must be In vogue. "It Is our duty," says Treusurer McAdoo We, the American people, must wake up to the confronting facts that this war hi now and has been for a year laid at our doorstejn and that the hereto-, fore far away dreams are now clearly outlined realities. We must cut down on somo of our extravagant ways and save, not only foodstuffs, but on everything In general. We should enter the spirit of the game iii more and feel in ourselves the true meaning of this mighty war. There is not a saner or safer in vestment open to the people. What more could a money lender want than a negotiatble note secured by the government? The payment of the bonds Is certain. The boy's who are following the colors can see the value of the bonds and are turning in from one-half to two-thirds of their wages to buy Liberty bonds. They have al ready sacrificed their occupation, personal conveniences and comforts, and have suffered the pangs of part ing from their families and friends. Can not we who are enjoying a democracy made possible by the flow of American blood part with a few paltry dollars? People's Forum Soldier's Letter. The following letter was received this week by Mayor and Mrs. C. B. Lamkin, from their son Charles, who Is with Battery E, C5th artillery: "Camp Merritt, N. J., Mar. 18. "Dear Papa, Mamma and All: I ex pect you have been looking for let ters from me for some time, but no one was allowed to send any mail until we got to where we were going into camp. I am feeling fine with the exception of a bad cold, which I think will be all right soon. How are you all? "Well, I am going to try and tell you of our whole trip. You know we left Fort Stevens the night of February 26. Our trip from Ashland to 'Frisco was very common to m3, but to some who had never been over the road It was great. We pulled into 'Frisco Friday morning, March 1, and marched right onto the Northern Pacific steamship. They wouldn't give us any liberty in 'Frisco, so we were on the boat two and one-half days before we left. "Leaving 'Frisco at 2:30 p. m. Sunday, the weather was sure fine really hot. Two days out of 'Frisco we all thought we were going to croak with the heat. We all had our underclothes off and taking at least two shower baths a day. But at the Panama canal It was sure tropical. We were Just seven days from 'Frls- co to Panama, and saw all of every thing that it took to make tropics. Banana trees, pineapples, cocoanut palms, oranges and lots of tropical ferns. "Panama was the first city we came in sight of. The first locks we went througli were the Mari-Florls. To explain these Is pretty difficult, so I'll just give the names of them, and when we are all back I can tell you about them better. The next locks were the Pedro Miguel. They were about the same as the first. Then the most interesting of all the canal was between the Pedro Miguel and Gatun locks. It was ten or fif teen miles of the most beautiful scenery I ever saw, including the Culebra cut. You have read lots about that. It still shows signs of several landslides. The navy band played all down the canal and the boat you might say just floated along, so we had lots of time to see it all. Gatun locks were the last and were about the same as the rest. We pulled up at the docks In Colon at 6:30 p m. "The next morning we left Colon and sailed Into the Caribbean sea. Were about one and one-half days, then up the coast of Florida. The next stop was Norfolk, and then up to Hoboken. Landed here at about "See 'Gets-li' Peel Off This Corn." Leaves The Toe as Smooth as the Palm of Your Hand. The corn nover grew that "Gets It" will not get. It never Irritates the flesh, never makes your too sore. Just two drops of "'Gets-It" and presto! the corn-pain vunishes. Shortly you can peel the com right It't Wonderful USee"Get-U"Pe.IoffCom! off with your finger and there you are pain .free and happy, with the toe ai amooth and com -free as your palm. "Geti-It" Is the only iafe way In the world to treat a corn or callus. It's the sure way the way that never falls. It Is tried and true uaed by millions every year. It always works. "Gets-It" makes cut ting and dlftgln? at a corn and fuss ing with bandages, ealves or any thing else entirely unnecessary. "Gets-It" Is sold by all druggists (yr.u need pay no more than 25 cents), or It will be sent direct by E. Lawrence & Co., Chicago, 111. Sold in Ashland and recommended as the world's best corn remedy by McNair Bros. 1C a. m. Sunday morning and got out here to Camp Merritt at 8 o'clock Sunday night. "Camp Merritt is an embarkation camp, holding about 40,000. I don't think we will be here long, as some fellows told us that all the troops who were put In this place where we are, averaged about three and one half days' stay here before going across. When we get across I'll write as soon as I possibly can, tell ing of our safe arrival. "Well, folks, I have two or three other letters to write, so will close now, with love to all, "From son CHARLIE." Tidings from France. Mrs. J. J. Morton of Grants Pass, formerly of Ashland, Is In receipt of the following letters from her son, Oliver Morton, who Is with. the 400th Construction Squadron, 3rd Avia tion Instruction Center, A, E. F., In France: February 3, 1918. Dear Folks at Home: I received Alta's and mamma's letter of Decem ber 3 last week. You ask, mamma, if Norman Tyler is In this company. Yes, and be is one of the finest men we have. We work together all day In the office and then sleep In the same set of bunks at night. He is cur sergeant-major, has charge of all the paper work and records of the squadron. You perhaps wonder at the new heading on this letter. The govern ment has a new scheme for number ing aero squadrons in order to show the kind of squadron by the number. All squadrons between 400 and 699 will be construction squadrons. Since we were the first one formed we have been given the number 400. Did you ever think that I would some day be one of "the four hundred"? However, the name 29th will always be a pleasant memory with us, as that was the name which belonged to all the old crowd. In reality, though, by the old scheme of num bering we should have been called ! the 4thv, because there were only three aero squadrons In the army at the declaration of war, and we were the first formed after that. But there were other squadrons formed and numbered up to 28 while we were called the Foreign School Squadron. All the squadrons were mustered together last week In a large grassy field near here. It was Inspiring to As Perfect Make It HOOSIER makers have tested all kitchen cabinet devices. The conveniences that have proved most valuable they have adopted. Those not up to Iloosier's standards have been rejected. So today the Hoosier contains all wanted features. And only those that are practicable. Iloosier's Council of Kitchen Scientists all talented women are using the Hoosier constantly to find new im provements. The models we offer are the very latest that Hoosier has built. Yet many are marked at before-war prices. 11 4& Hoosier saves food by preventing waste in measuring and mixing and by keep ing your flour, sugar, etc., in protected' places. The Eevolving Kack of Six Glass Jars keeps spices air-tight and ever-ready. The patented Shaker Flour Sifter shakes out flour light and fluffy instead of grinding flour and grit througli a sieve. The Hoosier Two-Way Su gar Bin holds twice the ordinary amount. The Over-Size Base has 21 per cent more space for pots and pans. Hoosier prices are low due to enormous demand. Our easy terms make it possible for every home, regardless of income, to own this device that every woman needs.
