That service is to lend your money to the government. Every 26 cents loaned to the government is a help at this time and practically every man. wo man and child by making some trif ling sacrifice, some denial of a pleas ure, or giving up some Indulgence, can render the government that sup port. Every 25 cents will do something to help a wounded American soldier, wounded fighting for the American people and American liberty. Every cent loaned the government contrib utes something for the safety and strength aud success of our soldiers and sailors, equipping them, main taining them, clothing them, feeding them, and giving them artillery and ammunition aud all things needed for their efficiency aud triumph. The question is: "Are you will ing to help the fighting men of our nation, and in helping them to help yourselves? Are you willing in helping yourselves ti make the atrocities, the Infamous and unspeak- able crime« against civilization com mitted by Germuny impossible?" Bl'HINEHS VERSUS INHJTICS Wherever an Industry or business succeeds, some one must pick the manager who makes It a success, says the Pacific Coast Manufactur er. It continues Usually In the free operation of naturul and econ omic law the right man finds himself fur the Job. Whether Industrie«, be they rail roads or shipyards, are under social ism or private capital, success Is in the manager This inuu is always picked because of Ills experience fit Ung him to handle the Job, while In politics he Is picked for other ren sons.

The appalling condition, disclosed by the recent physical examinations of the young men of our nation before the exemption boards has sent a thrill of alarm and a sense of profound concern into the heart of every thinking and loyal citizen. The question naturally arises within the mind of every serious man, What practical thing can be done to decrease the percentage of physical deficients and raise the standard of physical efficiency among the men of our nation? There is overwhelming evidence that the people of this nation are living in profound ignorance of the vital and imperative necessity of train ing their bodies with the 6ame care and thoroughness as they do their minds. "Cram the mind, though the body be crippled," has been the abiding practice of our people so long that when the hour of great neces sity arises, when the moment of peril is upon us, and the things that are more priceless to us than our lives are in jeopardy and the cry of a ruth less enemy is heard at our gates, and the nation turns with confidence to the surging millions of its citizens for defenders, an amazing best is found nervous, timid, uncertain, doubtful, hesitant, and with waning and depleted vitality. Well might we liang our heads in shame at the exhi bition, and doubly so, because in all the wonderful achievements of this peerless nation it has neglected the apparent and imperative duty of training its citizenship in the necessity of physical culture. It is easy for a healthy man to be courageous, hopeful, optimistic and enthusiastic, and it is easy for a sick man to be a coward. If the resplend ent glory of this nation is to remain unsullied, it will be because of the devotion, courage, masterfulness, resourcefulness aud physical vigor of its citizens. - r - -X* treasury is already celling tour per cent short term certificates and war savings stamps and certificates. Lat- er on it will offer another issue of Liberty bonds. Paste that figure of ten billions in your hat. It measures what the gov ernment requires of you between now and June thirtieth. In 1917 the public took about c|x billions of bonds and certificates; of which, however, several hundred millions remained in the hands of the banks —owned by them or as collateral for loans. We must beat that record from now to the end of June. Don’t wait for a Liberty Loan drive. The real drive is on right now. It will be here as long as war I lasts. See what you can save. I’ar- Ocularly take up with these savings certificates and damps. They are on sale everywhere. Get the habit! The United States has undertaken to set a wcrld record in producing and suvlng.

Broadly speaking, America must be content to allow Its allies to dlctnte the military and naval policy of the coalition.
