O BOY!
If you hsve no friends or money
Into the river you may fall;
It will bury you for nothing;
It's a good world after all.

When the lights go out and talking

And you listen to the chorus of the

When you'r wide awake and frowning
at the blackness of the night;
As youT mlndin' all the fun you've had
that's passin' out of sight;
Just think about the cause for which
you're puttin' up your bit.
And think bow hard you've worked
before you never thought oi n

the Journal and it was like a breath

Lift High the Torch of Liberty
In 1776 men died to give thl TJght
of Liberty to us. In 1863 r lied
to lift the torch still bighci - the
heavens. Whether that Light shall
prevail depends on the outcome of this
war. A bloody tyrant has lifted the
iron hand of war. He is trying to
tear the torch from Liberty's band.

TRICKLES FROM AN UMBRELLA
Nice feeling, wasn't it, when you
woke up Monday morning and found
the beavess leaking like a Ford radia
tor? You looked regretfully at your
patent leathers and then searched
madly for your old shoes. After the
search had consumed all of the break
fast hour, you found that your thought
ful room-mate had placed them in the
top bureau drawer with your last
clean collar. You looked at your Inger

Lair, here curl y, there curl-less, the
all-pervading aroma of wet wool, the
riTfers rippling from the umbrella and
the warped cote-books, you sat swear
ing t-o own a celluloid collar like your
neighbor's before the day was out.
Why did you not have your shoes
ha!f-soled before this deluge. With
your feet chilled to the bone, and each
gust of air bringing forth volcanic
jsneezes. you listened to three succes
sive dlnnal ard dolorous renditions of
In, Clajp's now famous "Ode to In

would save you from the Flu. You

races, nor of nations, nor of groups
of men. It Is a war of Ideas. The
ideas of free men against the ideas
of military tyrants or despots. We in
America have more freedom than has
any other country In the world. What
we, the people of this self-governing
nation, must do "now is to preserve the
liberties won through centuries, and
help the people of other countries keep
the liberties they have'.
OUR LIBERTY LOANS
There never was a war like this be
fore in all the world. We are determ
ined there shall never be another.
That is why the people of the allied
nations lend their money gladly to
hasten the end. There are now be
tween twenty and twenty-five million
liberty bond holders in the United
States. Our first Liberty Loan was
fcr f2.O00.O00.0O0. It was over-subscribed
a million dollars.
Our second Liberty Loan was over
subscribed 54 per cent.
Our third Liberty Lion was for
$3,000,000,000, but 17.000.000 people
wanted bonds, and so $U70,01S,CSQ
worth of bonds were sold.
The fourth Liberty Loan campaign
began Saturday, September 28, and
will close Saturday. October IV. We
will answer as we Lave answered be
fore to our boys "over there.
Suppose we were called upon for
$6.000,00'i.OOO. This seeius like a stu
pendous amount, and yet the re
sources of our banks at this time equal
nearly seven times this amount.
If we lived in Germany we might
well fear that tie country could never
pay back such surus of money. Be
fore the war, Germany was worth
$sO.OOO,00'.,'0'J. She is tow la debt
$50,000,000,000. America is worth
about fiS'J.OOO.OOO.OOO. We earn each
year about $0,000,000. Our national
