June 5 The enemy's entire pressure
now to have been turned upon
inently in the day's development is
that the U boats are still operating
near the coast and h?ve not returned
to their bases, assuming that the two

the only ones on this side of the

dences the fact that theh submarines
are movirfg steadily southward, if
they are the same ones which attack

Paris when the great German drive

SECOND DA Y
THE SLACKER
Throughout North Ca:polirm and the nation sentiment
toward the slacker is crystallizing and the fine finger of
scorn and cpntempt is stharching him out.
There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some
of them:
The service slacker thip man, who should be in the
ranks and 'is not. f
The lattor slacker the man who is able to work and
doesn't. f ; .
The fcod slacker -the male or female hog who refuses
to readjust their diet so as to meet the demands of our
Allies for those foodstuff which may be exported.
The financial slacker the individual who can but does
not buy Liberty bonds and War Savings Stamps.
Slacking, at home means more blood spilled by true .blue
American boys in Prance.
Slacking in An?triaa mteans starvation for innocent
women and children in England, France and Italy.
7 Slacking- at home is a menace to the success of the
American, British and French arms in France.
THE SLACKER "S REWARD
The intelligentobservant, patriotic people of America
will not forgive slacking.
The slacker is a marked man. Not only during the
war, but as the w ar goes on and the casualty lists come
in he will be mom and more scorned and hated by decent
citizens.
, After the waH is over he will be anobject of contempt.
He will be wi hout the regard of decent people in his
community. Hi s children and his children's children
after him will p ay a bitter price for his disloyalty For
his failure unde? r test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity. .
Inexorable f a ite is setting him apart and he will not
escape.
Every Bushel Saved Now will
Supply a Soldier with Bread
Until Next Harvest.
sr.
of community entertainment and it
welcomes the people of the County
here for a fiVe day period of better
mutual understanding, and the oppor
tunity to visualize the war situation
by hearing the combined knowledge
and experience of men who have been
upon the fields of Russia and the
fields of France. ,The musicale pro
gram is featured by the famous Kil
ties Band, the leader of which has
been over the top into 'no man's
land' four times, and numbers of
whom have been wounded in action.
Mr. Zealley, the leader, will relate
some of his experiences. The other
musical numbers of the program ave
especially good. Every speaking is
preluded by Music; the programs are
varied and delightfully interesting.
Every man, woman and child who
Lean spare the price( of a Season Ticket
for this once a year attraction will
do well to buy now. The general ad
mission for all entertainments total
around $5.00; a 'Season ticket will
only cost two dollars and an addi
tional twenty cents for Uncle Sam.
The tickets are transferable.
In addition to the advantages ac
qruing to the holder of a Season ticket
the forty men who are as Guarantors
bringing the Chautauqua here will
receive credit on their guarantee for
tickets. Single admissions will not
aid these forty men, who trusting to
the community spirit and the high
order of the Community Chautauqua,
have guaranteed this organization rive
hundred Season tickets.
Sure, you're going to the Chautau
qua, "Mac", B. Jones, or other guaran
tors have the tickets, anTi are at the
public's beck and call.
