Washington, April 10.—Democrats
and 'Republicans of the House Ways
and Means Committee at its organiza-
tion meeting today united in approval
of the administration’s war financial
program calling for a $5,000,000,000
issue, of which $3,000,000,000 will be
used as the basis for loans to the al-
lies. Chairman Kitchin with the au-
thorization of the committee, will re-
port the bill tomorrow and its pas-
sage in the house not later than Fri-
day night he thinks is assured.
Little delay is anticipated in the
senate. Within two weeks the meas-
ure may be on the statute books.
In order to prevent any possible
financial handicap to the military
needs of the country through delay in
raising the $1,750,000,000 proposed as
the amount to be obtained by taxa-
tion, the Ways and Means Committee
decided to embody in the bond issue
authorization, authority to the secre-
tary of the treasury issue $2,000,000,
000 in one-year treasury notes as need
to anticipate the tax receipts, which
will result from the war revenue bill.
The latter measure will be consider-
ed after the bond issue has been dis-
posed of. Indications are that con-
siderable time wilf be required to
draft the revenue bill and that both
houses will debate it at length after
its introduction.
The total thus authorized, should
the committee program be ratified by
congress, would be $7,000,000,000 for
the first year of the war, not all of
which however, would necessarily be
spent. The total is $250,000,000 more
than the administration leaders have
been counting on.

The Favorite has been asked by par-
ties in the city to ask those who have
been in the habit of tearing down
flags in front of business houses to de-
sist from such practices. The Favorite
does not know who these miscreants
are, but would advise them that they
| are treading on dangerous ground.
There is no special efficacy in a
[piece of bunting with red and white
stripes on it and a blue back ground
with somthing like four dozen stars
splashed about on it, no more than
there is in a Chinese joss. Both are
material things, and to worship the
one is about as foolish as to bow down
before the other, but it is what the
flag stands for, that we must respect
it. Behind the stars and stripes is our
nation. To insult the emblem of our
patriotism is an act that can be pun-
ished by law, simply, as stated above,
for what the flag stands for, and not
[ the piece of bunting itself.
While your boy who is the best boy
I in town, has not been guilty of this
mischief, it might be a good idea for
you to have him read this item, as he
could have a friend who unthoughted-
ly might commit this breach, and
thus be liable to a heavy fine, and if
he did not prove to be a poor widow’s
son, it would be some boy whose
[father could illy spare the money to
pay his fine.

:i ^heGospel o
Good Teeth
I am going to give you a short
sermon on Good Teeth.
You owe it to yourself and to
those dependent upon you or
with whom you associate to rad-
iate good health, and you can’t
radiate good health unless you
have good teeth. Some of us
live to eat, but we all must eat
to live, and if we don’t eat prop-
erly and masticate our food
properly we won’t live long.
There is no excuse for any one
to neglect their teeth. I can
prepare and fill or crown your
teeth without pain.
Work all guaranteed.
DR.F.C. ALLEN jj
A large number of men and boys
attended the meeting at the Firemen’s
club rooms last night to take steps
towards effecting an organization of
civilians to drill.
J. L. Webb, formerly captain in a
company at Tioga, and a good tacti-
cian, acted as chairman of the meet-
ing. Sid Smith, who has seen service
in the United States army, having
been stationed at Fort Sam Houston,
made one qf the best talks of the
evening, in which he stated clearly his
position in the premises.
E. H. Pritchett, a graduate of Vir-
ginia Military Institute, was present,
and gave the crowd the benefit of his
ideas military. He was followed by L.
H. Rather, H. L. Rodgers and others,
all of whom thought some sort of
preparation was necessary, in view of
the fact that no man knows just what
is ahead of us, and being prepared for
the worst is always good business.
There will be another meeting Fri-
day night, and a man who knows the
trumpet calls has been asked to be
present and play them for the benefit
of those attending, just as a sort of
inspiration. The “mess” call will be
the one most of the “rookies” will
learn first, and “reveille” will be the
one not admired, for it means get up.
Reveille is a beautiful call, while there
is nothing about the mess call that
sounds like music, except the rattle
of the bean pans, subsequent to the
call.
Some Reflections.
Of course you did not raise your
boy to be a soldier—nobody wants to
see the work of years poured into a
uniform and then put on the firing
line to be used as a target by a for-
eign foe that fears neither God nor
man, but if your boy is eligible, and
his country calls him, he had better
be in shape to answer that summons.
It augurs better for him in the^begin-
ning, and the chances are it will be
better for him in the end “When
Johnnie Comes Marching Home” with
shoulder straps on him, account of his
preparedness, rather than corns in his
hands, where he has been holding a
shovel to dig ditches.
If you were going to fit your boy
for a business career the chances are
you would give him a few lessons in a
business college, unless he is a great
deal smarter than most of us, and
knows it all anyhow. The same with
this soldier business. The man who
thinks there is nothing to learn in the
way of tactics and discipline, when it
comes to this army business, had bet-
ter think again. It is not all brass
buttons and grandstand playing with
dress parades and reviews for the
ladies to admire, while colors come
gracefully to the ground to be furled
for the night, but it is work and busi-
ness, this soldiering, and if yau have
to go you should be prepared. Also
the training will not hurt you, even if
you do not go.
Don’t forget the meeting Friday
night, and The Favorite, while not
running the thing, would suggest that
the meeting be held in the court house
rather than the Firemen’s hall next
time, since the former will hold more
men.
Tell your neighbor about it, and
both of you come.
