MONEY TO WIN WAR
How Americans Can Defeat
Blood-Crazed Kaiser.
Small Contributions From All Whu
Love Liberty and Appreciate Its
Blesslnge Will Save World
From Qrave Danger.
Many are familiar with the fable
that appeared In the old school readers
about the king who ofTered a fortune
and the hand of his daughter to the
man who could tell him a story that
would last forever In the telling, with
the stipulation, however, that. In case
the story came to an end, the person
who failed to complete It was to lose
hlr. head by the sword.
A number of adventurous spirits lost
their heads In the attempt to keep a
serial going forever to amuse the ec
centric monarch', but one young man
Anally won the fortune and the daugh
ter by wearing out the very soul of the
king with the story about the locusts
carrying off the corn. "And then an
other locust came and carried off an
other grain of corn," etc., etc., until
the king decided he had had enough of
the story.
America—In fact, the whole world.
Is dealing with an "eccentric" monarch
today. This monarch wants the Impose
sfhle, and everyone who refuses to give
it to.hlm must lose his head. There
Is one way to deliver the peoples of the
world from this menace.
Kaiser Wilhelm can he worn out, If
he cannot be crushed by one tremen
dous blow. And the government at
Washington hns pointed out the way.
Money will defeat the kaiser. Small
savings, llke-the locusts, coming along
from 110,000,000 American citizens,
will wear out the soul of the war-mad
monarch. American money can wear
out nn.v army In the world, because
there is a great deal of American
money anil there are many Americans
who have it. Just a mere matter of a
<p .■ or a day from every wage earner
in the United States would mean bil
lions of dollars every year to buy guns
and food for soldiers, and ships to
cnrry them actoss the Atlantic to de
feat the sinister purposes of the kaiser
and his crew,
A quarter, like the grain of corn, Is
not much In Itself, hut millions of quar
ters every day mean victory for right
eousness and Immunity.
Going Away Off.
Sloanle Williams, son of Thomas A.
Williams, who recently removed to
Montgomery, Ala., from Franklin, and
the son of Capt. E. B. Chenoweth,
former coroner of Johnson county, who
enlisted in the medical corps ut Ft.
Harrison, and was sent to Honolulu,
Hawaiian islands, for base hospital
training, were playing.
Sloanle started an argument by say
ing "My papa and mamma and I are
going away off."
Young Chenoweth replied * "So are
niv papn and mamma nnd me.”
Sloanle took the matter In hand and
announced: “Well, I bet w^ are going
the farthest.”
Chenoweth Immediately objected,
and the argument waged furious. Fin
ally.young Chenoweth nsked young
Williams: "Well, where nre you going,
anyhow?”
Williams was unable to answer, ami
the physician’s son quick to show his
superior knowledge, answered : “Well,
wherever It Is, I bet It isn’t as far as
llalleujah. that's where we’re going to
move to."—Indianapolis News.
Soap for Wfcunds.
Common yellow soap, the kind used
by housewives In washing clothes and
dishes, has been found to be a wonder
ful cure for wounds In French hos
pitals and Its use has spread to the
British medical stations. A solution
Is made from a cake and Injected Into
soldiers’ wounds, even In the latest In
stances Into the deepest bullet holes,
where It has proved Itself to be a su
perior antiseptic to hydrogen perox
ide and most other germ killers, and
lu addition a strangely effective heal
er of torn tissues.
Wounds treated with soap need few
er dressings and lessen pain far
more than do wounds treated with
other antiseptics. These facts greatly
expedite the work of the surgeons,
who can handle more men than when
using other solutions.
What the Girl Said.
Being in charge of the complaint de
partment at the local postofflce, I had
a rather amusing Incident occur a few
days ago. The blank used In filing a
complaint required answers to about a
dozen questions, as, for example, date
of mailing, contents, nature of com
plaint, as loss, damage or rifling. A
young lady came to the window nnd
explained that she was to receive a
parcel containing medicine from an
out-of-town doctor, and same was long
overdue, according to advices regard
ing shipment received from the doctor.
So I proceeded to have her answer
the several questions on the blank
mentioned. When I read the ques
tions, nature of complaint, she replied,
“Stomach trouble."—Chicago Herald.
