Likening the United States to a great corporation with more than a hundred ! million stock holders and with capital stock and resources of more than two hundred and fifty billions of dollars. J and an annual income of fifty billions of dollars each American citizen is a stock holder in this great corporation, j Even those whose^inly assets are their; earning capacity own shares in our public domain and property and arej working on a profit sharing basis with; a vote and a voice in the management; of the corporation and with the right to acquire more stock at any time. j A Liberty Loan Bond may be likened to a share of preferred stock in this! gigantic corporation. Like preferred, stock in other corporations it mav not [ return, at times so large a dividend as common stock, but the dividend as I is certain and sure. It is stock that! pays ."14 per cent dividend but the stock and dividend cannot be taxed and while crop failures may decrease the farmer's divdend from his land some, years to less than nothing, and various causes may lessen or destroy dividends from ail other sorts of property, the dividend from the Liberty Loan Bona is certain and sure, subject to no fail ure or diminution. The owner of a Liberty Loan Bond holds written tangible evidence of be ing a preferred stock holder in the United States, the greatest, the most glorious, the most honorable and the most successful corporation in the en- j 'ire world. He holds the certificate of being a citizen willing to support his! government and,to lend money to his* country when it needs it and calls for it. There is honor in being the owner of a Liberty Loan Bond as well as profi* W. M. Engle made a flying trip to Deuel county the latter part of last week with P. H.

HELP THE RAILROADS There is nothing more creditable in the war efforts of this country, eithet private or public, than the course o.' action taken by the railroads under the leadership of Daniel Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio, acting as chair man of the advisory committee ol national defense: Fairfax Harrison of the Southern railway, chairman of the railway war board, and other leading railway men. First among the basic industries, as Mr. Hyde points out the railways pooled their issues and yielded (themselves to this central management, which fs working from Washington in close co-operation with j the government. The value of this as j an example cannot be overestimated; but the substantial results already a< 1 eomplished. as outlined by Mr Hyde are encouraging. This is patriotism, as practical as it is devoted. It deserves our grati tude. but it deserves more than that It deserves co-operation, and especial-1 lv. we believe, this co-operation is! needed in the matter of car shortage. This is perhaps the most serious fac tor of the problem with which these men are struggling. With the tre mendous needs of war supply added; to the normal needs of our industry and commerce, the transport system is tailed upon to expand its facilities to the utmost limit of their possibil ities. We have not nearly enough cars and we cannot create enough to meet conditions as they develop. We cannot create cars. But we can make each car do more than it ever has done before. We have a wasteful habit of keeping loaded cars on sidings while the consignee gets reauj 10 unioaa mem ai ms leisure, .a large amount of time and therefore a large part of the efficiency of cars1 are thrown away by this carelessness We must all speed up now. In Ger many, we understand, only six hours are given for unloading cars. We ought to do at least as well, if it is necessary there will have to be legis lation on this subject, but. we hope it will be unnecessary through the active co-operation of shippers in keep ing the cars moving. The man or con cem that holds a freight car a minute longer than is necessary is shirking a clear and important public duty. Pub lic spirit and even self-interest now die tates the strictest and most whole I hearted co-operation with the able men ; in charge of transportation. It this comes about promptlv through j the enlightened initiative of shippers j it will go far toward removing the dan | ger of freight congestion and food or fuel famine in this country and toward America to become a real factor in winning the war against German Mil itary autocracy.—Chicago Tribune It seems evident that the price of county seat weeklies must shortly ad vance to $2 a year or be published at a loss. The advance in printing material seems to be permanent. Cost of the paper on which ihis is printed is more than twice the former cost and there is no sign of any material re duction. Wages and other expenses are higher, and on top of all this the dollar itself is no good—it won't buy anything. The price of $1.50 a year is evidently not enough. So far as this paper is concerned the time for a rise in price will be postponed as long as possible but it seems to be drawing near. Those who take time by the forelock, or the hind leg or other place where the grabbing is good and pay in advance will probably make high interest on their money. An announce , ment of a rise to $2 a year may come! as a Christmas present or at any rate, in the near future.—Faibury Journal.'

HOW WILL IT BE RAISED? In discussing the question of rais the enormous amounts of revenue ne cessary even during the coming twelve months, an exchange, after demonstrat ing the utter impossibility of raising the vast amount by taxation, and the corresponding necessity of resorting to bond issues, concludes as follows • “In a sentence, unless the big loans are balanced with heavy taxes upon those who are making money out of the war. we will rapidly and inevitably reach a state of financial, industrial and social chaos.” The conclusion is inevitable to the candid person who will give the ques tion unbiased thought Based on the probability of a need of from fifteen to twenty billion dol lars by this time next suifimer. the demand would mean rrom $600 to $750 for each of the twenty million families that make up the nation. It can be seen at a glance that this can never be ev en approximately distributed among the masses. Possibly a few more bil lions may be secured through popular subscription but the great bulk of the required means must come, as out contemporary suggests, from those who are making money out of the war. If the war continues for even two years longer there will he fortunes made tht will dwarf any the world has yet seen, provided business is allowed to take its hitherto uninterrupted course. While it is true we will spend prodigious amounts, it Is equally true that we will make fabulous amounts. The allied nations are practically at our mercy for food and other supplies. Huge revenues are constantly coming from that source. Not a dollar's worth of any commodity that can be used by man need go to waste in tbe United States for want of a foreign market. It is up to our government to cor rectly analyze the situation and place the burdens of taxation to meet these great national expenditures upon the shoulders of those who benefit by war prices. Will our law makers arise to the oc casion and make an equitable adjust ment of these burdens? Along with some very common, we have some real ly good timber in our national legisla ture, and it is to be hoped that this material will insist upon a reasonable and just basis for working out this momentous question. Daily sells for less.
