THE SPRINGFIELD NEWS THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, lOltf JTAQE 2 T&SpringfieldNews b rfWVWN .faee'eNeSAeNfe Published uvory Thursday by the iuo County Publishing Association. ROBERT A. BRODIE, Editor and Mgr. SUBSCRIPTION RATES (Pnyitlilo la advance.) 49s- year ..... $1.60 Six months ..... .76 Tkreo months 60 avertTsTnoHraes 3Ttr column inch ..... 15c BUY LIBERTY BONDS. -Buy until It hurts," "Give until It Surts," are two expressions that are (ten used, the one referring to the purchase of Liberty Bonds and the ether to contributions to the Red Cross or the V. M. C. A. or. kindred Tork, Both are fundamentally false In aneanlng. They should be sent to tho scrap heap of rubbish and supplanted y "Buy until it helps" and "Give un HI it helps." Do not for one moment vainglorious ly think that this means until It helps 4he country or the Red Cross or tho T. M. C. A. organisations. It means buy en- give until It helps you and gives jou a clearer understanding of your responsibility. "Buy until It helps" you by broadening- your vieion of the war and the struggle to save civilization. Buy Liberty Bonds not out of the surplus which you can spare with out feeling. Buy not merely because the pur chase of Liberty Bonds Is strengthen Sss the nation's power to fight. But buy because your soul needs the quickening Influence of a wider etonceptlon of liberty and humanity and civilization. And the more freely you buy the greater will be the eh xobling of your own soul. You will ba ffelplng yourself,, andi In that way jou will at the same time be help sag the nation and civilization. It is no act of charity to buy Lib rty Bonds. It is merely contributing a moiety out of your ability, great or small as it may be, fpr the purchase ( af the engines to stop the conflagra-j STon which, having swept over much t f thV world. Is sweeping directly ( Howard your hoUse, and you must j save your house by your own work, j c else recreantly throw upon your( neighbors the responsibility of sav feg you, while you stand off and sihu-fc your duty. j Buying Liberty Bonds is to save jmrr' wife, your mother, your daugh er. from the last degradation which romen can suffer, as In Belgium and 'ranee, , and to save your property . .nil. your nation from destruction, Now It is up to Rugono to recall her city council for permitting tho violation of a city ordtunnco when it fell proy to Its patriotic Impulse. The Kaiser has cxprcssod nn earn est desire- for a "lasting pcaco." Wl! helm, you aro going to got HI It ought to be a prlcoless freedom wo purchaso with golden stars. Thoro's a glorious Day of Reckon ing coming "over thoro." When in doubt, subscribe tor tho Nows. Hm Grandoldope If the government would enact a . jeeasure to make the acceptance of aa"Jdb" In any line of industry tanta mount to enlistment In military ser rtee. and to cover a period of from me to three years, and prescribe ade ifoate punishment for wllfull slacking and disobedience of orders, a whole Sbt of confusion caused by the whim sical quitting of unreliable employees would be allayed. There is such a t&inr as too much "freedom" in a free country. Herbert Kaufman, writer of na tional fame, has been appointed special assistant to the Secretary of te" Ulterior. If Herbert applies half pf-flie good advice, 'he clever philo sophy and the pearls ol wisdom that ih' has peddled to America for the yatu few years, to fho performance ctf life nthv duties, he certainly will set a new mark for official efficiency tb. aim at. When we read of a troop transport Being torpedoed wjth 2800 American oldlers aboard bound for France and not sr single life lost, It comes like n revelation that the Almighty, moving n Hf mysterious way, does inter Tents to safeguard the instruments of His vengeance. Every enemy bullet that slays a "Tank oo soldier boy, speeds across tfc'e Aslimtlc to wound the heart of poar- American mother. Do- your tfesfta lessen tho number of those rounds- By buying bonds, Sat Coodwln bus us shunted him- Wof Ills fifth wife, It's about time this amprous old rells of a misspent Sfe wits locked, 4P la a ftpme, for,, the feeble-minded bfora ' he gets , a hance' to snare tho .sixth. . , Gen. Crowder states that men from 19 to 30 will- be the first called' in the , srraft. Alright, General, we'll, stay . florae, but "tho pen is mightier than Vta b word." Thursday, September 12th, And wo waltzed right up and signed up with Uncle Sam To stand up and bo shot at for Thirty bucks per, Without a tremor of the hand, Or a quiver of an eyelash. We now call upon tho Woman's Servlco Loaguo Inasmuch we published , Free notices of their "doings" To make us a haud-embrpldered Servlco Flag . . With one big blue star, To be delivered to us When needed. John Ketel, alias "Tanlac," One of tho 13,000,000 patriots, Also signed. And is swelled up llko a ( Poisoned pup over it. He is 46, But claims he is 37 So far he has escaped matrimony Because he "bawls out" Every girl he meets x Before she even gets a chance To learn To love him. We know a lot of other things About "Tanlac" That wouldn't look well In print, But he Is a pretty good advertiser In the News, So we can't say much. We need the money. ' A month ago ' Frank DePue Openly boasted In front of our face That he had not read the News For five years. And covenanted unto himself His heirs and assigns That he never would read It. So we can tear his reputation To shreds And he'll never know The difference. Brother Parkinson, Pastor of the Methodist Church In Eugene Has been called to the colors. We can't see How Brother Danford Can do very much good around here. And. we wish he'd go to France, also, And do something Heroic, ' And let this Springfield flock, Most of whom are old enough To know better, Run wild During the period of the war.
