Advertising' retro made known uuon Published Every Friday. Subscription Price, $2.00 Pet . Year In Advance Vol. 9. Sept. 14, 1917 No. 37 Cold Facts Hon. W. B. Burrows, one of four -minute men of his state, at Springfield, Mo. on a recent date delivered an address, a part of which is herewith printed: - \We are fighting today for freedom. America has always fought for freedom. In 1775 our forefathers fought an auto- cratic German king on the throne of England for our own freedom; in 1812 we began our fight for the freedom of the seas; in 1861 we fought for freedom of the slaves; in 1897 for freedom of Cuba, and in 1917 we are fight- ing for the freedom of the world. But we have not entered this war hastily. We stood by and saw peaceful little Belgium invaded, her cities burned, and her civilians, men, women and children butchered as an exam- ple to those who dared question Prussian might. We saw the France that gave us Lafayette and Rochambeau, without whose sunport this nation might not have been born, brave liberty - loving France overrun, her cities destroyed, her hospitals burned, cathedrals desecrated, and her women deported to serve Ger- man masters. We saw defense- less cities in England bombard- ed by German warships against all rules of civilized warfare. We saw little babies in their cribs murdered by the bombs of a Gierrnan Zeppelin, and still we said this is not our war. \Then war came to America. The German submarine, that slimy serpent of '.he sea. reach- !ed its snaky arm: out and sent '114 American souis, men, women l and children, into eternity. The ; dying cries of our little children, ' begging for help, rang in our !ears, while German autocracy : delared a holiday to celebrate I this glorious achievement • of 1 German arms. Still we were R , patient. We gave this Prussian i despot an opportunity to disavow this act of murder, more damn - !able than all the homicides in 1: - .1 , the history of the world. But when he sank the Sussex we told him that unless he imme- diately agreed to abandon this murderous method of warfare, that we had reached the parting of the, ways. ''And he agreed, but he broke this solemn obligation just as at Leige he violated the sacred treaty at Antwerp. He did more than this. He tried to get Mex- i 1 ico and Japan to attack us. He I 1 filled our country with spies who destroyed our industries. He bribed our citizens to spread the false propaganda that this is a rich man's war, that we are fighting England's battle, that we should wait to fight until a German army landed on our shores. This is what we some- times hear, but the man who makes such statements or gives ear to them is fighting for the cause of this Geman despot and against America and detnocracy. This is no time for hypocricy, partisanship or divided elle- giance. We are either for Amer- ica with all our heart and mind or else we are for Germany. It is time to show our colors.\ A card received this week from Pete Clark who is with the Forest Reserve Regiment stated that they expected to be out on the \big pond\ last Sunday on H their way to Frarce.

SHOE CLERK IS MILLIONAIRE Thls is Story of Rich Lumberman Who Came to United States From Sweden Without a Cent. From a poeition as ehoe clerk, a job that brought him a salary of $20 a month, to millionaire hunbermin —that is the life history of Aaron F. Anderson, formerly of Cadillac. Mich., and now a resident of Seattle, Wash., the Detroit News states. An- derson and his associates have just closed a deal in Seattle whereby they purchased 350,000,000 feet of tim- ber, a transaction that involved 8750,000. Ander8on was born in Sweden. Forty years ago he decided to come to America. Being without funds, it was necessary for a relative in this city to supply the cash. Anderson came across the Atlantic in the steer- age. Arriving in Michigan, he began work as a ehoe clerk. The $20 a month provided him a place to eleep, paid for his board and washing and allowed him to save a few dollars every month. At the end of several years he had saved enough to buy a email tract of timber land. He sold thie and bought a larger piece of forest. With- in a decade he had become wealthy. Now he is a millionaire. MUSIC AS PENMANSHIP AID Wait: and Fox Trot Used With •Suc• cess as Accompaniment to Studies in Massachusetts School. Music—waltz and fox trot music —to minimize the agonies of pen- manship is the latest expedient to be employed by the Dorchester (Masa) evening high school. The experi- ment has yeen going on for FOITIC time and, according to L. M. Rand, an instructor in the high school, has been marvelously succeesful. Music by a phonograph, according to Mr. Rand, eliminates the monot- ony of penmanship exereises, agree- ably relieves the mind from the dead- ening effect of routine endeavor, and is at once a metronome for the gang- ng of speed and a e.afety valve to pre- vent the nerves of the pupils from fraying under the work. \It furnishes an exact count for the operation of letters and stimu- lates the mind in a tedious job,\ eays Mr. Rand. \Letters and numbers, particularly capitals, are peculiarly adapted to this. For some letters we play A. fox trot; for others, a waltz.\ WILL GASOLINE BE MINED? The latest estimates of the United States geological survey shows that if gasoline continues to be used up at the present rate, all the petroleum fields now in Wie will be exhausted before 1950. Nkrhere, then, will our future gasoline come from? mike the Popular Science Monthly. Billions of dollars are involved in the ques- tion. The probable answer is that \mined\ gasoline will be used. Colo- rado, Utah and other Westeni and middle Western states eontsin exten- sive oil-befiring deposits of bitumi- nous shale. Crude oil can be extract- ed from them and this can be dis- tilled further to obtain gasoline. Enough gasoline could be pmduced in this way to equal many timee the amount obtained from all our pres- ent-day petroleum fields. MOTIVE ENOUGH. Manager—Your play lacks mo- tive. Playwright=Notive?

WOOD STUDIED KORAN Found It to Advantage In His Post as Governor of the Savage Moro Province In Philippines. r - 'At, one time General Wood had' the most hazardous poet in the Phil- ippines, that of commander of the department of Mindanao and gov- ornor of the Moro province, fiercest pf the island bailiwicks. \More than once,\ writes Isaac F. Marcosson, whose personality study, \Leonard Wood—American\ appears in Every- body's, \he blocked eavage cunning with his knowledge and foresight, as in the following instance: \On one occasion he received delegation of Mohammedan polyga- mists who had come to plead for their harems and justify slavehold- ing at the . same time. The sultan of Jolo, who sat cross-legged on his rug, 3poke up: \'The prophet has said that a DUD may have many wives. It is so or- dained in the Koran.' \ `That is quite true,' replied Gen. eral Wood. have read it there my- self.' All the Mohammedans looked up with pleasure and satisfaction. \ continued the general, \ 'the prophet also says that \a yrise man will be content with one.\' \There was nothing more to be said, and the Moros left, stunned into silence and obedience by what they believed to be the uncanny wiz- ardry of the Big White Chief who was as wise as he wa8 brave.\ IT COSTS TO BE EXCLUSIVE Carnegie and Other Millionaires Pa)! High for Adjacent Property In Or. , der to Protect Their Homes. Possessing a mansion iu the Mer tropolis apparently is not without its troubles, observes the New Yoric Globe. Ftecently Andrew Carnegie paid $1,750,000 for the privilege of deciding who shall be his neighbors to the south. A few years ago Mr. Carnegie similarly protected himself to the north, where a eelect colony of homes has since been established. In the rage nf Mr. Carnegie theFe seemingly wasted millions work a double purpose. In addition to pre- venting undesirable construction they become very profitable invest- ments, as the land is turned over piece by piece to persons who will pay handsomely for the privilege of joining a millionaire's home colony. Commadore Arthur Curtiss James conducted a similar protective buy- ing movement on Park avenue. He bought up all available lands adja- cent to his million -dollar resideneei at Sixty-ninth street.
