The school board has not iM-en able to find a substitute for H. W. Perry, wbo had to go to Camp Custer and therefore there will be no manual training in the school this year.
Mrs. E. J. Bird has been hired to ttach the algebra classes formerly
^ J j taught by Mr. Perry and also to teach the arithmetic and grammar classes in the eighth grade room. This latter ts due to the fact that the classes in this room were so large that each pupil was not getting the individual training that be should have.

R. if he were to wear hls uniform. All went weir, including a trip to Camp Custer, until he reached tha depot to return to this city. When ha reache<i here, a guard said "Button up your coat.” Mr. Jones thought rather than to cause any unnecaasary trouble, he had better do that. It happened that he had his overcoat unbuttoned and his hands in hls pockets "kid” fashion. FVrhaps all citizens do not know that the recruita have to keep their uniforms buttoned.
Finally Mr. Jones w'ondered why ha was the cynosure of all eyes, and went to one of the guards, who asked him if he was going away on that train and also told him to show hls pass. Mr. Jones told the guard that he did not have any pass. After a long discussion he was allowed to get on the train, but the guard soon returned and ask him to get off again. This time Mr. Jones found two policemen who tried to cross-examine him and

of beauty in a town or a neighborhood.! The selling value of real estate can he greatly enhanced by tree cultivation • But many people seem to think they j can stick trees into the ground and have them grow without any further attention. j
Out In the country where there is plenty of air and sunlight and water the^' will prosper without trouble. But 1 place them in a town where their roots lie largely under nia<adam streets hnd ' concrete walks, they ar^ going to lack th 'ir proper supplies of moisture.
Aiitomohile travel, grinding fine partlcbs of stone and earth off the streets and sending It all Into the air In th"' form of dust, is an injury to trees The pervasive dust covers the leii” 3 and obstructs the performance of their functions. Or if streets are oiled so as to prej'ent the dust from flying in some measure, the oil must obstruct passage of water In the soil atid frequently the tarry substances como In contact with the roots and Injure them.

In most of the districts, committees for canvassing for the sale of the bonds were appointed, and in many instances subscriptions taken. All of the/districts had patriotic exercises under the direction of the teachers, and in many.of. the schools these exercises were of a high 4rder. ■
It was a physical Impossibility for the chairinau to furnish every district In the county with a speaker to explain the bond sale and the manner In which the canvass of the several school units of each township should be made, but the very best that was possible was, done and speakers sent out so far as' possible. The chairman could do no bjtter than make a draft to fill the engagements, but the following named gentlemen responded to the call and went out into the field and In some ir.stances addressed as many as three meetings, going from one school district to another, making a drive of sev- j eral miles tu meet the engagement.

It Is too early at the time of the pa- peis go'ng to press, to get returns from the entire county, but the chairman has handed us a list of the several districts which have reported and of the work that has been so far accomplished. while reiMjrts are still coming in every mail. I
There will be an effort made on the part of the several districts of the. count.- to get the amount that will be ap-,<ortioned to them subscribed as soon as iiosslble, that their township may not have to act under the call of the supervisor, for a meeting of the township nt the town hall when they will be sent back to fill the amount lack- !nv of their quota. '
The amount to he raised by 'each' township will he found in another column of this paper and it will be an fas- matter for the several school dis- trlrts to ascertain from the supervisor wltat the amount of their share of the township quota to raise will be.
District chairmen will make fre- qiie.-!t reports to the supervisors oi the •v'itiRcrint'ons taken in their school district-i. so that ho may he apprised of •he success of the canvassers, the; emoiint already raised and the amount . that will lie still necessary to sub- ( scribe. * j

CHAPTER XVII.Some Uettere and a Reply.|ER letter came to him a n eek_
later, though she bad |K>8ted~ It the morulug she took the train from Monioon. It bad
lain for daya In the poet office box of the Eaat Coaat company, waiting the da7 when one of the teamsters should call and carry it in overland. Steve had never before seen her bandwriting. It was his first letter from her. yet be recognised It the Instant Big Louie put It in bis baud. And he was glad t^t night that both Fat Joe and Garry were absent from the up river camp—glad that he was to have the next hour alone. But when be broke the flap of It Big Hbuie. who lingered uneasily in the oi>cu doorway—even Big Louie, whose wit.-* were not pnrti<‘- ularly keen—knew from the expression which passed over his superior's face that this heavy enveloi)e which he had brought had not contained good news. The quick contraction of lunscles which tightened his Jaw was to<» much like a Kpnsm of |iulu. For her first letter, so the sentence ran. was to l>e her lust. She wrote “less kindly than she would have wished to write" that she and .Mr. Wlckersham tiad de< kled upon thirst of May, and after the silence
become a throbbing thing Big ^joule decided instinctively that he would let go until later the demand which he liud planned to make for a raise to meet that ral.se which, so he had hcanl It gos8li>ed In town, was l>e- Ing paid the ;iien In the northern lumber tamps. He stumbled going out ami lost Ills balance, so that the door era lied to behind him violently. But Steve stood ns he had stotnl when his eyes sought the first line of her note, nor did the crash penetrate his ears.
Kepeatedly In the interval which had ela.'Seil since she hud bidden him p>od by the latter bad told himself that she woiihl not write, but the repetition bad I <-t'u uin-i'iivlnclng. lie knew that now
r.arbaru did not v, rite again, and in this at least the man who loved her Hiitii-ipated her correctly. The letters, however, which Garrett Devereau re- lelved i-ach day from Miriam—bulky, extra postage epistles-bnmght often ncw.s of her. .\nd there fragments Garry, knowing witliout being told for whom they were inoaut. duly delivered to Steve, in we«'kly or fortnightly lustallments, whenever the latter's duties brought him to .Morrison, for Gar ry and Fat Joe. who had lx‘en transferred to the lower cud of the work, along with the bulk of the up river force, had noticed that difference too.
“Miriam says for me to keep my feet dry this cold weather," he'd tell the other man laughingly, “and Barbara sends her regards to all of us and
that we are making splendid ly.” t)r again: “Barbara’s look
Iiig g^^ye pale. Miriam writes. She fays she’s—er—trying to do altogether too much for her endurance.”
Whatever the bit of news was Garry passed It on religiously, a little guiltily •ometimes, b<»csii.se of his own great hapitiness. Once be had failed signally to rend behind his friend’s iuo«>dy si lem-es. His surml.se coiicerulng the tenson for Steve's chaugiHl l)eaiing was not so wide of the mark this time. Often within himself Garry’s wrath seeth«-d hot. but he was no longer as readt as be had once been with verbal, cynical criticism. Only to Fat Joe did he dare iK>iir out bis soul with that vivid incisiveness which always held Joe s|i(>I|lK)und.
“He's eating his heart out over her,” l*p’d extdode. “over a girl who Is prov iDg every day that she Isn't worth a tailnute's heartache of a man like him!1 ust-d to think she Lad brains if auy of them did. I used to think that Barbara Allison was something besides a fiuffy little fooll Why can’t he see for himself that she's just as worthless as most of the rest of them?*'
AijJ from there, without knowing how truly funny such argument sounded coming from bis Ups, he would soar to wonderful heights of profanity. But save for the pleasure which be took la the pyrotea|Rilc8 bis outbursts made little in^affilnoii uiK>n Fat Joe. The lat-
Italned a sort of placid superl- perbaps l>ecause he had learned
M>y that this attitude aggravated Qft'y’s rages, (terhaiw because be waa ■o^ery certain of his man.
*■ wouldn’t go to getting afl stirred uplke this oo early In the game,” he’d ttly with unvaried calm. “Shucks. lf«tt)o early to l>egln counting either tnR'a pile of chips"—either man to bail minds meaning Steve and Wicker- . •hito without the naming of names. "Tm are too liable to premature en- tbBlaama or dtscouragementa, Garry. T^’s why I mostly manage to beat yotas easy as he U-ats me whenever wathrow a hand or two. Ain’t you lulkr going to learn tliat a man must gkn>Ie a bit on the cards still waiting to^ dealt?”
^d again, confidently:^'a worried—of course he Isl Ha
814* enjoyin’ bis meditations a little bUj'baoe days, but he's enjoyin' 'em UK|B all by himself that he would be If ^van ap there with him, forcin’ him
rlsstlngly like four aces •ucea St present he’s hold-
worried. and that's why I grow nervous myself, because It

Every man to bis own taste In such matters, says I. And shucks, man, can't you tell Jost from seeln* ’em together that they was made for each other? If a man quit every time a woman began to put him over the jumps we’d bare a daugerous decrease In marriage U- ceuses staring us In the face. He’s just learning to care more for her. that's all, and caring a lot about anybody never was a comfortable state to be in. It's entirely too uncertain and unsettling. But 3’ou wouldn’t enjoy nut caring about anybody at all yourself, would .vou?”
Garry admitted that be woukln't“Well, then, don’t waste your time
pit.ving him." A cold gleam flickered in those bleached blue eyes. “Don’t you su]*po8e I’d have taken aport long ago this animated Ice chest who Is making all the trouble just to see what makes him so cold If 1 didn't know I’d be BttoUing the big show? Couldn’t you see without iny tellln’ you that I’d rise up some day and leave him looking like a pieninlure blast after all I’ve learned be's plamiiu' to slip us If I wasn't sure that he’s going to get It, worse than I could ever give It to him,'from (hat girl herself? Well, I would. He inakra me shiver, that man; makes me crawl utul itch to take his head In one hand and his throat In the other and exert a little strength In opi)oslte directions. Give our entry time! The game Is running deed against him at present. I'll admit, but be's hu.sbnnding his chips. Ho ain't drawing wild and squandering his Chances. And he’g only l>egun to p'.a.v."
Before snow came tinft fall Stevo had recovered Ills outward confidence at least. He bad licgtin to hoi>e again while he w.alte.l and lalstred pnall- glonsly ugnli St the <-oniing *)f spring. Blit In Ills heart he was no longer sure. He could not suniinon )>a -k that .serene self surety wlik li toward the end had shaken even the girl's certalnt.v In her self. He could no longer argue con vlucingly wifti a vision of her. as be had often argucvl with Barbara herself, that hl.s way would be her way In the end. for he had l>cguii to realize the width of that gulf which he knew must setuu to exist la-twerui them. If not to her then to (he eyes of others of her world.
It was ills memories which gave him consolation those long nights, but they also gave him doubt. Beiiienibcriiig the daintiness of her ns she had come to him the night of her party, recalling the things to which she had been accustomed since she hud opened her eyes on the first light of day. he begun to ask himself, ns every man like him bad asked who ever lovi-d a woman, bow in any falniess he could exi>ect her to accept the little which he could offer in return. To Steve and Fat Joe, to the men of bis gang, his confidence was that of the old, old Steve who ten years before had cocked bis head at one of Allison's switch engines and promlsrsl gravely. “I’ll Lev to be glt- tln’ one of them fur myself some day.” But bis heart nclie*l. and when that ache became so leaden that be couldn't endure It any longer In silence be carried It to the one person In his life who was best calculateil to understand. Diffidently he broached (he subject with Miss Sarah, npiironebing it in a roundabout fashion least likely to de celve that bright eyed little lady.
“Gurry Is saving his money against the fatal day," be laughed one night “He has become a rank miser! Joe says be goes for days at a time Itorrow lug his tobacco, and be won't play anything but iicnny ante now when he ran be coaxed to play at all!”
Miss Sarah was too kind to look at him directly that evening.
“The regeneration of Garry Is one of the things which had made my life most happy.” she answered. And then, iwiving (be w-ay for what she knew was on his mind: "1 suppose yon will t*e surprising us 3-ourself one of these da3’8. .And no doubt you'll be just a.s happily positive as Garry Is that your choice Is the only one In the world.’’
They were alone in the big living room. Caleb was still in town gossip- Inir with Hardwteh Elliott And Steve's bruised smUe clutched at Miss Sarah's heart »
“I!" he overdid his amusement. "1 have lived too much alone. I'm afraid, ever to prove very attractive to any woman's fancy. Bachelors are not always bom; they are sometimes the habits of loneliness."
“Stuff and nonsense!" the good woman ridiculed him. “Why—why. If It weren't for a suspicion (bat you might have your eye on some small person or other I'd drop everything and hunt one up for you myself. Why, Stephen, wli.-it a remark for me to hear from you!”
Both -were silent for a moment.“Marriage la a mighty expensive
pro[K)sitiun,“ he commented at length profoundly.
“Is Garry such a plutocrat any more ?"
“That la not a fair lllustratton for us to employ,” he countered, and Barbara Allison was not the only woman who loved bit laxlly final statements. “Both Garry and Miriam hare l>een tangbt that th‘*r*» si** w.»i- e thi jfi* (hM'i the banisdip of making last year's Umou- sIbs do for another

“1 could care for such a girl—yea.”
quite a few charming brides walk to the altar and wondered^ If that wasn't their sentiment too.”
She chose to l>e suddenly vextnl with him.
“1 do not like such humor, and of course .vou are joking. I have heard Gan-ett I>evoreau talk in just such a strain too often to l>e amused by It And If you mean'*—
"If I meant it 1 was crying the bab.v," stated the man coldly, and .Miss Sarah knew that he was rebuking himself, i “I couUl care for such a girl-yes But I doubt if I would marry a woman who had even the smallest doubt There are too many sharp places to be smoothed over without chancing that tragedy of discontent. It's merely habit ' that's to blame again, that's all." He cast about for a imraliel. “One does not miss sugar so very much from n meal until be knows he can't have it. And (hen-well. .Miss Sarah. 1 have many times talked i>eevlshl3. for a man. because there was none to be bad.”
“We are talking of women. What about salt?" she liit|uired quickly.
"That Is very indis[iensnb!e, too. but"—
"Of the two wlihdi do .vou alwa.vs take care shall not be missing from your pack whenever you (um Into the woods ?’’
“1 see where you are heading, but’’—I “I do not like dissemblance. Stephen.” she warneil. “You know without the salt of hive the sugar of life can grow slckcuiiigly cloying." •
He did not win bis argument, but defeat pivo him far more happiness * than could have <-ome from victory, lioavlng her that night, he closed his hand over her dolieatc fingers In a clasp which left her smiling in wonder after he ha<I gone. She wntobci horse and rider di8ap(*enr into the whiteness of the new winter till Ixith were lost to her sight. j
' “Bless ihe boy!" sli?"murmured then.“Bless the Ik>.v!’' And to Caleb, her
j hruthor, when he came stamping In:< “I surely must take a hand with these
children. They have been left to their own devices long enough." |
Caleb had recovered bis good natured view of the whole affair; he was given to grinning those days at her flutter- Ings. On nn>re tlian «>ne occaskm he told her none too flatteringly that she
' made blna think of an olticluus ben ! with a brood which a high rate of mortality and prowling night raiders had left bereft of all save two of her batch. But this portlcnlar witticism did not bother her In the least, perhaps because she realized bow pat the comiMirison was. Instead of silencing him she showed him the letter which she constructed some days later—constructed most painstakingly the second week In December, rbe deigned to read it aloud to him liefore she dispatched it on Its Journey.
I “Barbara, dear child,” she wrote, “this is the appeal of o lonesome spinster lady who finds that winter, still only a lusty infant here, is (be season for younger, warmer pulses. I am very tired of Caleb’s cuutlniitMl company— that is, with nothing to leaven It. The keenest of epignimmarlans, my dear, becomes very commonplace, you know, to ears too long tuned to one voice. So I am writing you In dignified desperation to come to me this holiday season. Caleb Is not always as epigrammatic as I could wish. I am going to be |K>sltlve that you will come unless you have already made other plans. And, on second thought. If you have already done so 1 am going to fall back upon the privileged tyranny of one who ones carried you In her srtos. Ton must come to me this Christmas!”
There was another whole paragraph of rambling, repeated arguments and then a full page devoted to the beau- tlee of the hills and eeaeon. I
“The days ara diamond brlUlaot,” she wrote, “and the nights as dryly cold at'rt crisp us Caleb’s few last cherished hoCtles of ehenpagne. We hare
»
There was a qualut twist to (be letter “8;” sharp angles In the cbirograpliy which a newer decade of femininity might hare found sadly lacking In a largeness of loops now ludlspensable as indication of “character.” And there was a postscriiX, of course.
“Stephen O'Mara has been several times to dinner since your deimrtiire. Be Is working '’cry hard, but most siic- ceaafully, 1 am sure, for be appears to he very happy. He Is tblnner'thau be was, but who could bare guessed that the boy be was would grow to be such a handsome man! Men with eyes like bis and such voices used to break the hearts of susceptible maids when I was sixteen. Do come! 8. H.’’
She read It aloud from beginning to end. nor did she falter much when Caleb greeted the postscript with a shoot of joy. Caleb was most high spirited those days, for the line in regard to the progress of Steve’s work waa in .truth an understatement If anything, even though the assurance of bis happiness might have been called a mis- coustruance of facts.
“What do you think of It?’’ bis sister asked iileasautly, when she bad finished reading. “Will It—do?"
“If you mean will it fetch her. 1 cau only say heaven knows!" Indeed, be was enjoying himself. “You feel positive that she cares for him, you say? But I thought you were always Inclined to believe Steve rather easy to look at. even ns a boy?” '
“I was." muiutaiued Miss Sarah. Her voice grew girlish. “Do you remember the night you gave him my old banting coat. Cal, and he went to sleep with it to bis arms?"
Some of the teasing note left her brother's voice. i
“Then why do you tell Barbara—why do you seem to infer"— He floundered hopelessly |
“Stupid!' said Miss Sarah. “W she come ?"
"She won’t!" lie stated solidly.When ho spoke In that tone Miss
Sarah always chose to believe the contrary, and events in this Instance proved her right. Barbara did not wire She wrote a long letter full of little twists and tunis which led at last to the subject which Miss Sarah had mentioned so parenthetically.
“I'm delighted at the prospect of get' ting away from town for a week,” she close*! ns she had opeued her reply— “delighted at Mr O'Mara's splendid success. I.jist night 1 overheard father telling some business associates that he would one day be the biggest power in the north country unless something liap|>eued to check him soon. That was very flattering, wasn’t It? It will make yon >cry proud, 1 know. Tell Mr. O'Mara I wished to Ite re allt^l to iiiiii. As I have already warne.l voti in this letter, father insists on coming with me. 1 thiuk he must be a little tireil of the city himself, for be Is very restless And remind Uncle Cal that 1 am to have the wishbone or I will not come at all!”
This reply Miss Sarah also read aloud to her brother In a voice that was not quite Christian, however, for It was gloating in tone.
'There!" she breathed. “And, Cal. aren’t you ushamei] sometimes to.have your Judgment so often refuted by a mere woman?"“She fails to mention whether she ever
noticed the color of his eyes’’—Caleb cbokeil a little—“or-or the heartbreaking quality of his voice. Maybe she hasn't notice*! 'em yet herself, eh?"
Miss S.'irnli went upstairs to her desk, and she wrote two letters that night before she retired. One went to Barbara The other had not so far to travel, hut It was longer in reaching Its destination

Michigan will be canvassed thoroughly, and It Is the hope of every patriot that our State shall make a showing equal to the best. You are earnestly asked to give these canvassers a courteous reception and a moment of your time. They have a few days only in which to canvass your community, and they will be brief and to the point.
They will explain that the object of the conservaition campaign Is to save food stuffs that can be sent abroad for use of our soldiers, and to help feed the starving populations in countries which have been made the theater of a hideous war, which, without defensive cooperation in contribution ot men, money and food, will certainly be brought to our own doors.
You will be asked to do your bit by doing wibat you can to conserve food by making certain substitutes in the preparation of family meals. It is a patriotic duty, and I feel sure that you wll receive, will a willing mind, the suggestions of these agents of the food administration and do your best to follow the subsequent suggestions that will be made to }'ou.
THFTRRPORK, I. ALBERT E. SLEEI»BR. Governor of the state of Michigan, do hereby earnestly request all housewives and others having supervision and control of the disposition of food for table use, to cooperate with the food conservation forces of this state to the very best of their ability.
ALBERT E. SLEJEPER Governor.

Re/D^iDber, the bond yon boy is as good as the cash, and tan be converted into’cash should yoor necessities require it
1M l«
Thrift is a good habit. Liberty Bonds are a good investment. Begin now to save money by every possible economy ^nd sacrifice. |
Will You Help Boys Come
'.i'r?.
\\.
The Purpose of the Second Liberty Loan, I
The purpose of the Second Liberty Loan is to help make victory sure, and to save the lives of our sons.
The money you pay for Liberty Bonds, buys food, clothing, guns and ammunition for the boys you now s>e marching away.
They cannot fight without arms and equipment; the more quickly and liberally these needs are supplied the sooner the war will be over—and the more American soldiers will come home in safety.
The bond you buy will help buy these necessities. It will help shorten the war. It may save a precious life.
$
Your Part Is Merely to Lend MoneyThose stalwart lads you see marching past with smiles on
their lips and high courage in their hearts are ready to lay down their lives for their coutry. '
Their country—YOUR country—simply asks you to LEND your money to help our soldiers win the war—to aid in arming and feeding and clothing them—to protect them as they fight YOUR battles.
This is a' Duty, a solemn, sacred Duty, which mIjST be performed.^ . ' *
It is a Duty which falls upon ajl of us, rich or poor, according to our means and our ability.
The war is now a fact—an American fact. We are in it. We are in it to stay. We are in it to win it. We MUST win it. jOur sons must come back to us crowned with a glorious victory. Our country must be safe-guarded from disasters whose gravity we have only recently begun to realize.' The world must be purged,^ purified and made free. »
You want to do your part. You are eager td help in every way you can. The one big, fine thing you can do is to lend your money to your government. Buy Liberty Bonds.
/
The Safest Investment in the World ^Bear in mind that you are not asked to give anything.Liberty Bonds are an investment. The principal is safe, and
you are paid interest for the use of your money.These bonds are the safest investment in the world because the
‘Jnited States of America, with all its tremendous resource, standc behind them.- If the United States endufes, your bonds are safe. If the United States does not endure, you lose everything you possess. And we are in this war to make sure that the United States DOES endure.
When you buy Liberty Bonds you are helping to fight YOUR war and protect YOUR interests. Your interests and your country’s are one and inseparable. .
Liberty Bonds Are Easy to BuyThe second Liberty Loan is*now open^or subscription.Liberty Bonds are easy to buy.
, Your bank—any bank— will take your subscription without any fee or charge for services, and hold the bonds for you after they are issued. * .
You can buy Liberty Bonds^on partial pa3nnents—onl^ a Dollar down on each bond, if you wish.
Thrift is a good habit. Liberty Bonds are a good investment. Begin now to save money by every possible economy and sacrifice.
Buy all the Liberty Bonds you cati.
^ Let Us Not HesitateLet us not hesitcfte in this hour of our country’s call; let us re
spond like true patriots, proving our loyalty and our willingness to furnish the government with money fo sustain the boys we have placed in the field, and the others who have been called and who will soon leave for the training camp.
It is not a gift but an investment; it is a loan to the government which furnishes us with the best security that can be obtained on earth. If you have not the ready cash, then buy a bond on the installment plan; you will have until the 15th of January to make the final payment.
If you have credit but not cash, use your credit and take your bond now.
The boys who have gone to the front are not “slackers,” and it is the imperative duty of us who have been left behind to show them that we are not “slackers.”
Our aid and our^sistance to just do our “bit” has been asked of us; the prompt a^on we take in purchasing a bond either large or small, will be our reply.
REMEMBER, THE BOND YOU BUY IS AS GOOD AS THE CASH AND CAN BE CONVERTED INTO CASH SHOULD YOUR NECESSITY REQUIRE IT. NOT NEXT WEEK, NOR NEXT MONTH, BUT TODAY.
I Sign the application blank, and place your order when called upon and show by your pron^t action that your are back of your government for every dollar you can raise.
Let us show to our neighboring counties in the great state of Michigan that we are alive to the necessities of the grave situation which confronts us.
Do not let the fact escape you that if we do not pay in cash by pui;chasing a Liberty Bond, which will draw 4 per cent interest, payable semi-annually, then we will pay in increased taxation which will not bear interest.
The time to lift is now; the liberties we today enjoy if we would preserve them for our children, can only be secured and made safe by the patriotism of their fathers and mothers.
Take your bond whether it be large or small, but buy, and buy now.
To the' Men and Women of Old ClintonWe have fajth in the loyalty and the patriotism of “Old Clin
ton,” and shall rest coiltent that in this urgent call of our country she will rank among the best. ' *
Listen, men and women of Clinton county: The men who have responded to the draft call and are now in Camp Custer at Battle Creek; the men, if you please, who have given their,bodies to protect both you and me, have subscribed for $650,000 of these bonds. Tdke this mark of double patriotism to your heart, fathers and mothers, and buy a bond. It will cheer and encourage your boy in uniform who must take the thick of the fight, but who in taking it has bought a bond.
Clinton County Liberty'Loan' CommitteeJ. W. FITZGERALD, Chairman -
Marching Honie ALgain:*V^OUR OPPORTUNITY to subscribe to the Second Liberty ^ L6an comes at the. time when you have just begun to
realize that your country is actually at war.-You have watched* with'a swelling heart, your boys and their
comrades march proudly away to do their share in the war to sav.e civilization and preserve liberty. ■ Your one. great regret is that you cannot go-with them; your most fervent hope and prayer is that they may. return safely, and victorious. I
