Uoniamls on the Kcd Cross will lie
iiouvlor this winter than ln.-.t, altlio
Home of tlio riomanils may bo of a
.rudfcally different nature from what
wo liavo lieon accuatomcd to. We
inust, however, moot them all. Novor
yet has any chapter In the northwon
lorn division roruaud a tusk Ifticuuae
of lack of workers. Tho time should
iiover come when such will he the
case. Every citizen Is a potential
T orkor In the IIpu C ross to the limit
of hlf power and anility.
When tho call Is heavier than can
ilio mot with comfort by tho old Riiard
of rcKular workers; call Itffcnino of
iho reserves and set thorn to work.
The greatest asset tho lted Cross has
In this country next to tho Inyulty of
those who are laboring in 113 rauso Is
itho potontlnl worltlim Imparity of
thoso who have not yet been fully sol
to work. Tho needs of the winter
may mako It necessary to ullllo a
largo portion of this reserve rapacity.
Tho war Industries board sometime
ago commandeered practlcatly all of
iho wool In the hands of the manu
facturers and Jobbers of the country,
leaving tho lted Crovs Inadequately
provided for. In this emergency the
organization decided to appeal lo the
yarn retailers for relief, with the re
milt that tho department of supplies
for this, division, acting under In
structions from unllonnl headquar
ters at Wnshlngton, 1). C, has com
pleted arrangements with the larger
retailers thruout this territory to
turn over to tho lied Cross all or
their Blocks of yarn suitable for ser
viro socks, sweaters, elc, at au aver
ago price which carries with it no
prorit.
This same proceduro Is being fol
lowed nil over the rutted Slates and
knitters will be able to obtain the
ncrvlro yarns only thru their lied
Cross chapters. As a result t?T thin
plan, all yams sultablo for lied Cross
workers will disappear from local
storks until thj Rod Cross decides
that changed conditions will warrant
their roappear.ince.
Sorvlro yarns Including while
khaki, gray, natural and heather will
soon be a thing of (he past except to
lted Cross knitters, and probably, at
least for the duration of the war, re
tailers will bo able lo show only oth
er colored yams which are not af
fected. The Medford merchants willingly
turned over their stock of yam, and
this Is holng held until orders are re
ceived from headquarters ns lo Its
disposal.
All knitters are asked lo turn In
ihi'lr finished work by October 1st as
a shipment will be made on that date
The Model Clothing store has gen
erously given to the lied Cross a
great amount of clothing which was
damaged In their recent fire. These
garments will he of great service Willi
Borne repairing, and will be seal li.
the ilelglans with a shipment which
Is soon lo bo made. All lied Cross
workers are asked to assist In this
work, which will begin not week.
Tho material for work In the mir
Alcnl dressings department has not

NO PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HUN.
ANY covenanted peace with (icrnmny would not be
worth tho paper it was written upon, for it would
ho utilized merely to give Ooriiiany a respite to prepare
for another conflict, when it would heroine a scrap of pa
per to ho torn up at (iernian convenience.!
Article 0U of The Hague convention, to which (Icr
inany solemnly subscribed, roads: "Family honor and
rights, tho lives of persons and private property, as well
as religious convictions and practices, must ho respected.
Private property cannot ho confiscated."
Yet (iei'inany throughout the war has violated family
honor and rights, enslaved, mutilated, crucified and niur
dred "civilians of invaded territory, sent wives and girls
into white slavery, confiscated and destroyed private
property, outraged religion, and shattered defined
churches and cathedrals, created deserts out of fertile re
gions and wrought such utter ruin in wide districts that
many years of industry and hundreds of millions of dol
lars must he expended in their restoration if restoration
is possible. . ! I .l3Ef
The quantity of loot stolon by Germans in violation of
their plighted word of honor is so enonnous that it is dif
ficult to store it, while German newspapers are crowded
with advertisements of the sale of property pilfered in
Belgium and Franco. The following is quoted from the
Frankfurter, Zeitung, January, 1918:
I went Into Chateau Thierry on the heels of the American advance
and saw things with my own eyes, ISvery available, Uunnish, fiendish,
filthy thing that men could do theso. Huns did In Chateau Thierry Just be
fore they left. The streets were Uttered with the private possessions of .
the citizens thrown thru the windows; every bureau and chiffonier draw-
.er was rifled and Its contontsdostroyed; In the hettor-cluss .houses the
puimiiiKH wuru ripjieo ami uiocniuu unit imrveumi sniusiieui luriuiure.
was broken or hacked; mirrors wore shivered Into a thousand fragments;
muttrosses and upholstery were slashed; richly hound books were ripped;
In fact, there was li;:rCly a thing In tho city left Intact. The houses or
the poor. In which the Cerman privates had been billeted, wore Just as
badly pillaged and devastated as the homes of the well-to-do. The
church,' grand enough for a cathedral, 'had not been spared. Its paint
ings and altars and crucifixes and stations of the cross had been ruthless
ly battered and defiled.
Yet even this does not tell the story a story which cannot be told to
people who respect decency for the Germans left tokens of physical and
mentnl' obscenity In every house I visited, and I entered scoreB. If all
hell had been let loose In a choice suburban town for half a day. It could
not have pot Its obscene and diabolical mark on a place more unmistak
ably than the Germans put theirs on Chateau Thierry. I stood amazed
that there could be so much unrelieved viicness, such organized beastli
ness, In tho world.
There is plenty of evidence regarding the value of a
treaty with Germany of old men and children slaughter
ed, of women and girls ravished, of. non-combatants de
ported into servitude to work under enemy guns, of mer
chant ships sunk and neutrals murdered, oil hospital ships
torpedoed, of Ifeil Cross hospitals bombed, of cruelties
and barbarities to captured soldiers plenty of evidence
of German beastliness. 7
The fate of Chateau Theirry is the fate of all occupied
cities. We quote from an eye witness who accompanied
the Americans in the recapture of the anciendt city, Jos
II. Odell, who writes in the Outlook:
"The goods of different sorts seized In tho enemies' territories are In
such largo quantities that ihc difficulty of knowing where to out them in-
creasen day by day. At tho request of the Prussian minister of war, nil
chambers or coiuuierrc have been askod to give all possible information
with regard lo storehouses, sheds, etc., which could be used temporarily
to warehouse the spoils.''
Everywhere the story is the same. The regiments oc
cupying these cities ami the soldiers guilty of these out
rages, are the rank and file of Germany. There is no dif
ference between the German people and the. military
caste. The barbaric strain permeates the nation, the
mark of the beast is upon them all. The fate of American
cities under a triumphant. Germany would be similar.
There can be no partnership or covenant with such a
people. As well compromise with the devil as with the
(iernian government. Peace must mean the triumph of
right, the victory of civilization over savagry, the defeat
of Germanism, not the compromise with it.
The best re ply to (iernian peace offers are the drives
of our soldiers in France against the enemy and the only
logical reply we who are at homo can make is to subscribe
lor Libert v bonds.

OUR SERVICE
And What It Means to You
YOU CAN INVESTIG ATE BEFORE YOU INVEST
You Can Take the Same Care that You Would Want to Take in Making ANY
' Important INVESTMENT
AVlicii yuu luy an implement, you
make an investment.
You put your money into the imple
ment for what the use of the imple
ment will pay you in return.
If the implement increases your
ahility to raise lugger crops at less
cost. :iud continues to give you gon'l
servi'-e t'.ir a v.iainixum period, it is a
gonil investment.
It' the implement fails in some vital
1 articular, or at some vital lime,
therein- affecting your entire farm
investment ami your season's workj it
is a mighty poor investment.
Don't forget that the profit from au
implement investment is more im
portant than the amount of the orig
inal investment itsqlf.
We would he glad if you would con
sider implement investments just as
carefully as you would consider any
other important investment. Investi
gate thoroughly before you invest.
We keep a complete stock of imple
ments right here at your hand so that
you ma v conveniently ami fully exer
cise this precaution. We want you
to select before you order and to see
before you select. To make your se
lection easier, we keep only high
grade implements. To assure full sat
isfaction to you from the'transai tion,
we stake our reputation in this com
munity for fair and helpful dealing in
farm implements.
