"This man Is In perfect health," said
Ir. A. C. Combs, the physician mem

name of the registrant. "We are put
ting the question of his service up to
the medical advisory board. lie is
well suited for ninny brunches of army
work and probably will lie classed as
a nonconibatant.
"There are many linos of work that
a man who lias only one leg can do In
the army. It does not take n man
with two legs to peel potatoes In nn
army kitchen, mill I do not see why
such n man should he taken for that
work when one who cannot go Into
the llyht can do the work Just as
well."

Hooverlzing.
Our friend Williams tells us of n
certnln young matron of bohemlnn
trend of mind, who accidentally sat
In at n knitting bee the other day. As
the needles worked rapidly, In rhythm
with the tongues, the latter were busy
with the vital subject of the day
housekeeping methods. They spoke of
waste, of thrift, of leftovers and all
that. And Anally, the spirit of the oc
casion moved the young matron to re
nin rk: '
"I heartily believe In the conserva
tion of effort. I never wash the dishes
and make the beds on the same day."
An awed hush spread over the as
semblage, reports Mr. Williams.

Appeal to All True Citizens to Help
Eliminate the Diseased Tree Lying
Across the Patn of True Democ
racy. (By WINSTON CHURCHILL, Who
Recently Returned From the War
Zone.)
Germany niny be likened to a great
tree that has fallen across the path
of democracy. Tim trunk Is belnjr
chopped through by two axes, the mili
tary ax and the propagandist nx.
If the trunk Is to bo severed am!
tho obstruction removed, neither ox
must bo spared. Americans must con
tribute willingly to help their allies,
to support their nrmy nnd navy, which
will be the deciding military factor In
the struggle.
Our American president was the
first world statesman to make clenr
that while a military victory Is es
sential, It Is not In Itself adequate.
The grent significance of this wnr
lies not on the battle lines, but behind
them. It Is n wnr for human liberty,
nnd that which restricts human
liberty, not only In the German em
pire, but also In America and F.nglanil
nnd France und Italy nnd Itussln
must be abolished. Ve are beginning
to perceive that the future progress
of democracy depends on national un
selfishness nnd International co-opera-tlon
scientifically conceived.
Issued World Proclamation.
In n series of masterly state papers
Mr. Wilson has announced to the world
thnt America enters the war unselfish
ly, nnd has defined the true Issue
for all the peoples of the earth even
for those deluded portions of the Ger
mnn population which, becauso of a
false system of education, have hith
erto upheld the hands of tho worst
enemies of liberty, the Junkers. Until
quite recently, one of the most dis
quieting symptoms from the point of
view of the allies was n discontent
with, If not an nctual opposition to, tho
wnr of large elements nmong the work
ing classes of the nllled peoples. In
Itussln, where democracy was most
cruelly suppressed, where conditions
for the peasant and the worklngmnn
were hardest, n revolution actually
took place n revolution thnt hns
sounded the keynote of our times. The
world servlco which our president Is
doing Is that of enlisting the nlle
glance of those masses for tho war.
He Is convincing them that It Is their
war. And these are they upon whom
the evils of nn out word economic sys
tem hnve pressed hardest, and who
hitherto have seen little hope that vic
tory over the Germans meant their
own deliverance. Mr. Wilson hns Is
sued a world proclamation of emanci
pation from economic slnvery.
Make Their Own Treaties.
He not only declares thnt powerful
nations shall cense to exploit little nn
Hons, but that powerful individuals
shall cense to exploit their fellow men.
He declares that henceforth no wnrs
shnll be fought for domination, nnd
that to this end secret trentles shall
bo abolished. The peoples through
their representatives shall make their
own treaties. And Just as nntlonnl
democracy Insures to the Individual
the grentest nmount of self-determination,
of 8elf-renll7.ntlon, world democ
racy shall Insure self-determlnntlon to
the Individual nations of tho earth, In
order that each may bo free to make
Its own contribution to world democ
racy. Fighting for Oppressed.
This Is the spirit in which America
hns entered tho war. We nre flglitlnR
for tho oppressed everywhere. And
we nre equally determined that the In
justice nnd Inequalities thnt exist In
our own government, the false stnnd
nrds of worth, the materialism, tho
luxury nnd wnste shall be purged from
our midst. Ve shnll seize this oppor
tunity to finish up the clennlng of our
own household. To sustain our nrmy
nnd navy In tho struggle for such n
cnuse, to uphold our president, to aid
our allies w ho hnve fought so long and
so bravely, these nre worthy of our
sacrifices.' I am confident that the re
sponse of the American people to tho
third Liberty loan will bo generous.
Bonds Feed the Boys.
Every farmer knows how his boys
like to ent. Mother's fried chicken
and npple dumplings nnd pumpkin pies
hnven't n chance In the world when
the boys sit down nt table. Lots of
farmers' boys are In France nnd tho
fnrmer doesn't want them to go hun
gry over there. Liberty Bonds buy
food for them.
Don't Bury Your Bond.
When you nnd your neighbor hnve
bought your Liberty Bonds, don't tako
them home and hide them In the cup
board. Take them to your country
banker nnd have him give you certifi
cates of deposit for tho bonds. Your
bnnker can take these bonds to a Fed
eral Reserve bank nnd borrow money
for your use In ense you suddenly find
yourself In need of funds. Hiding a
bond Is ns bad ns honrdlng money. Keep
the bonds nnd the money In circula
tion and the country will r'l through
this crisis all right.
The Safest Guide.
The much-praised optimist, although
to bo admired. Is not a snfe guide. He
tells us nil Is well, when It Is not
He fall to see tho pitfalls and urges
us forward and we fall Into them.
Likewise the pessimist, although
shunned nnd berated, lead us to be
over cautious. Under his Influence we
hopelessly sit down for fear we will
fnll Into the pit, when there Is none.
The cautious lender who wntches,
wnlts, nnd withal Is patient expecting:
the world to move forward. Is always
most trustworthy.
