The attempt to divide Americans into classes by providing for a special tax on incomes over $25,000 to'] pay officers and enlisted men in j France $50 a month bonus through-i out their foreign service was rightly!( defeated by an overwhelming majority in the Senate. Tne vote of forty-J seven .to five, by which the proposed j amendment was defeated, is an ex-' eellent index of the patriotism of, Crtntrrps? It shows also that how-', ever pacifist propaganda may be r cloaked by parliamentary procedure it is not likely to make much head-1, way in Congress. It is not necessary to bribe Ameri- i can soldiers to go to France to fight, for their country. They need no such:i 11 inducement. Wherever the battle line; i of defense may be they are willing to go there to fight for the flag. The Senate is aware that the sons' of capitalists, like the sons of labor.; have been drafted for the service of' their country.. Xo line has been drawn in the selective service law. The cantonments have gathered in rich men as well as poor men. All srp eouallv willing to do their bit for their country. The battle line of America happens to be in France. The nation will be defended there with the same valo. as would be shown if German troops were on American soil. Watermans Tdeal Fountain Pens at Herald Book Store. l HE!) CROSS AT EHRHARDT. Much Being Accomplished by the Ladies of That Live Town. ????? Ehrhardt. November 27.?Stretch-J ed across in front of the old drug i store in Ehrhardt is a large sign. In the center of this is a red cross. Painted at the top are the words "Red Cross;" at the bottom "Headquarters." and on either side of the cross are the words "What About Your Part?" This old store is. of course, the headquarters of the Ehr^ * ^ 5 1. hardt Red cross cnapier. aim next; the ladies are "making things hum." Some months ago. Dr. E. 0. Watsen and .Miss Mary Livingston came down and helped in organizing a branch of the Red Cross. There were forty-three charter members. Through the splendid work of Mrs. S. W. Copeland, as membership chairman, there are now over one hundred and thirty members, and more are coming in all the time. The majority of these are not members in name only. They are workers. Up until a few days ago material was not to be had. However, a good supply has now been secured and the sewing machines are humming both at headquarters and in dozens of homes in town. Mrs. Max Walker, as chairman of the finance committee, has done good work and has raised several hundred dollars for the cause. Articles of numerous kinds are now being made for the soldiers, and there will be money to carry the work on and on. Mrs. Walker is not alone in her work to raise money. The school girls have caught the spirit of the movement. A few days ago five of them, dressed in spotless white, wearing white caps which bore a red cross, were at work, as they said. ] for the soldier boys. That night they brought in over fifty dollars for the cause. Almost every afternoon the Red ; Cross room is open and anyone who can and is willing to knit or to sew may get material and instruction { there. The work may be done there j or taken home. When the room is not open Mrs. J. M. Dannelly will J furnish material and instruction at her. home. While Ehrhardt is interested in Red Cross work, she does not stop J there. Quite a neat sum was real- ] [zed for the army Y. M. C. A. work. \.n interesting incident occurred while subscriptions were being taken at one 1 of the churches. There w s a little girl in the audience who hud started a, bank account of her own. She had S saved and deposited a few dollars. r On her own account she subscribed i every cent of *her savings to the ? * ? i i,;? i cause. Tiie writer wisneu m mo . heart that the kaiser could have beard that and could realize the spirit that is behind such acts as this one, i spirit of sacrifice and patriotism ! which is stirring the hearts of the women and children of the nation, ( while the men are going forth to i war. j 1 Lucky Guy. ' "They rejected him because he had j flat feet." "And you were accepted?" ' "Yes." "Lucky for you it's flat feet, not flat heads, they object to." That "little handful of willful men" are now busy explaining to their conItituents. The people, however, know the answer. Looking for a safe bank for your war-price savings, neighbor? What's the matter with Uncle Sam's'great j Liberty Bank. CARD OF THANKS. < .Mr. and .Mrs. W. C.
