FOR RUSSIA -- "'"Vi lir i mmm i mi. - - ' Postponement of final action on war prohibition until after the con gressional recess was agreed upon by Senate leaders. Assurances given by the dry leaders point to a victory for the temperance forces upon the re convening of Congress in August. A Washington, D. C, dispatch, dated July 13, follows: "National prohibi tion legislation was postponed by con gress today until August 26, at least. "In arranging for a midsummer vacation, a formal unanimous con sent agreement was entered into by the Senate to defer until August 26, further consideration of the $11,000, 000 emergency food production bill, containing the amendment for "bone dry" wartime prohibition, effective New Year's day. As a part of the agreement, however, the prohibition advocates secured the definite pledge that the bill shall have right-of-way when the vacation recess period of the Senate ends. "Senators on both sides of the fight expressed complete satisfaction with the arrangement made after many days' spirited negotiation. ine promotion advocates are confident that they have a majority to keep in the bill some kind of a drastic wartime production provision soon after vacation ends. Opponents are hopeful that during the coming weeks there may be developments to defeat or modify the legislation." W. J. Bryan's Commoner. PiarmartpH PHONES 1 and 16 M. H.

Ha It received Its War Saving honor nag, which algal' See that It ha answered nobly the call of it Government aad can be counted oa at every call? If not, why not? Are you satisfied with yoar county's record? Did yon do yoar part In signing the pledge and tiring your servics to make your county to over in the drive? Another opportunity Is going to be given your county and you to say what yon will do. Those who did too little or pledged amounts too small will be given a chance to save their record. Many who hare reconsidered since they were called on weeks ago will want to make their pledge larger and their service mors liberal and willing. Many since that time have come to know the good Investment that War Saving Stamp offer and they are willing to pledge themselves to save more that they may Invest more in the best securities on earth. Again, a a result of the drive, many people have come to realize for the first time that they .owe their country a debt of gratitude and service. They will seek this opportnity to pay this debt. No individual, no township, no coun ty can afford not to pay It. None of these can afford not to invest to the atmost In War Savings Stamps, a a mere selfish mean of protection after the war. Then will money be scarce, labor cheap, and prices high. The county or the Individual that haa snade no provision for the future will bo more than unfortunate. The poor est county as well ss the poorest In dividual after the war will be that one who made the least effort to buy its full quota of War Savings Stamps and other securities offered by the Government. Poor Indeed will be the man or county that will have no rec ord of having served bis country to the point of sacrifice that It might win the war, when all the history of the war shall have beta written.
