THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION. 225 West S9th Street, New York City, is our Bole and exclusive c oreigrn Advertising Agent. "Long May It Wave." It- takes money to carry on a big war. How many dollars have you contributed so far? tT-w. s. s. Better invest your money with Un cle Sam now in the way of Thrift Stamps than wait and have ; to pay it out as indemnity to Germany later. v. s. s. If the sheep-killing dogs were put out of business mutton would soom become cheap enough so that a per son would not have to be a million aire to afford to eat it. w. s. s. France has been decorating Amer ican soldiers for bravery shown by them whilst being attacked bw Ger mans, recently. If France is going to decorate every American showing bravery she will have a big jcb on her hands. w. s. S- Two lieutenants, one from New York, the other from South Carolina, went out into No Man's Land in broad daylight and captured a Ger man on the western front a few days ago. And yet Germany" says the Americans are bluffers. w. s. s, "Wireless apparatus sufficiently pow erful to communicate with Germany, was found in the laboratory of Richard Pfund, a German, in the tow er of an office building on Broadway. Pfund was former manager of a Ger man wireless telegraph company. The dispatches say "Pfund was not taker into custody." It seems that it is about time that some of these pesky, traitorous Huns were treated as trai tors should be, and as they would be if they were Americans caught in Germany. Being arrested and. then turned loose on account of business reasons, having a sick wife, or some other such an excuse is getting mo notonous. If a few of these fellows were stood up and shot it would have a wholesome effect. w. s. s. THE REAL FACTS.. We hear all kinds of war news, ru mors, etc., but after all is said and done, it is not so hard to get at the real situation, and it certainly be hooves every American who loves his home and family to look the situation squarely in the face. The situation is desperate, and, wr see no reason why so many of our leaders and newspapers attempt tc conceal the real facts, for by so doing a .iaise spirit oi optimism is allowee to prevail, when there is no reason for it. Russia is finally, and we-fear for good, out of the war. It is. not the mere fact that Russia has quit that is so important, but it opens up tc Germany a new and great store-house where food can be procured in great quantities, putting her almost inde pendent of American and Englisr markets from which she has so long been excluded. Not only that, but il will enable Germany to procure all the man power she wishes to engage in farming, trench digging and am munition manufacturing, for she will no doubt offer very tempting prices to the Russians to go to Germany and engage in those occupations Russia, Montenegro, Serbia and Rou mania are now out of the fighting, and Italy almost so, thus it is left for England, France, Portugal and Amer ica to do the brunt of the remaining fighting. All that is now between the allies and defeat is the allied troops on the western front. With that line once broken, it spells disas ter, if not defeat for our cause.' These words look cold and heartless in type, bu$ we give you the situation ?s it really is. We do not mean by this that we consider the allied cause as hopeless, or that we are doomed to defeat, for we do not. But; what we want, to convey to the minds of. our readers is the' desperate situation Icon-t uplS ihifidsn this war. England admits thafcrshe can only raise 750,000 more men, ant then her mac power will- begSi to de cline.,, France has -already- reached wie uraii; ot her man power, and in numbers is steadily declining. True, we have enough men of .fighting age in America to win the war, But it is a'lorig Way to France, we are short of ships in which to transport troops; it .takes time to raise -and trainman art my of fighting ' men; it takes huge sums Of Tnidhey 'to equip an army. Troops are needed. in France -NOW... I AnWcan havnot rallied to .the financial assistance of k, the United States as they should. True tne Sy, those who have immense sums of money to invest, have in vested heavily in Liberty Bonds, and will continue to do so every time the country makes an issue of them, ouz how about the masses? How about YOU? Have you invested a single cent in War Savings? Polk county is lagging, and that very badly in this matter. We have not 'contrib uted one-tenth as much money as we should. The trouble 3is in the coun try districts with the farmers. Prac- tically all tne money uiat subscribed either to Liberty Bondsoi Thrift Stamps in Polk county has been done so by people residing ir the towns. What is wrong with the farmers of this county? We cav not believe but that they are patriotic and want to see the allies win. Vui there is one thing just as certain as the coming of tomorrow, and that is if the farmers of the United States do not go down in their pockets just as deeply, in proportion as have done the monied class, then this war is go ing to be lost. You may hot like our ianiruage, and we do not care wheth er you do or not. We are putting FACTS before you now. If you are not able to invest in Liberty Bonds you ARE ABLE to buy Thrift Stamps. . , If we win we must furnish the nec essary money to carry on this war. If we do not and lose, don t evei think but what Germany will make you produce your money, and can not what condition you are left m. what becomes of your family. Many country boys are in the armj fighting for the United States. Thej naiui an; iw w v... i -- their part. Are you going to disap, point them: we caniiui " But it is time that you-wake up, and fully realize the seriousness of oui condition. Don't put it off any long er.

It has been said many times that this is an; age of advertising. Noth ing yields bigger returns to a mer chant than the right kind of an ad vertisement nothing is so useless and expensive as the wrong kind of advertising. More huge fortunes have been made during the last half century through the medium of ad vertising than by any other means. The right kind of advertising thf kind that pays big dividends. AU you have to do to see and understand this kind of advertising is to pick up a metropolitan daily and study the ads. appearing in that paper. No where do you see an ad. reading 'John Jones, dealer in Dry Goods; Groceries, Boots, .Shoes. Hats, Caps, 3tc." but you sees John Jones calling the attention of the,j-eader, to,, some particular style of merchandise, giv ng a description of same so that the eader knows what he is talking ibout, and HE QUOTES A PRICE on t. That is the right kind of adver Lising. ' The wrong kind of advertising The kind handed to the newspaper nan on January 1st and allowed tc un until December 31st without s hange. This kind does you no good, lor does it do the newspaper any ood. An advertisement in a country newspaper should never run more than- two weeks without change. The kind without a description of what you are trying to sell, and failure to quote a price on the article you are trying to sell. If any of our merchants have nol 'he time to prepare their Topy just all in either the Business Manager r the Editor of the NEWS; tell us vhat you want to sell, give us the irice, and we will take great pleasure n submitting for your approval the idvertisement as we think it should ippear. Don't be afraid to ask us That is part of our business, and a luty that we perform cheerfully. w. s. s.
