The other day a farmer drove five miles
to pay a debt, losing half a day’s time by
doing so. Had be been a depositor with
this Bank he would have mailed a check
at the expense of two cents, and spent
his time more profitably. It is extrava-
gance not to be a bank depositor.

FOREIGNERS WHO DO
RIGHT ARE SAFE.
Liberty and Property of Those Who
Conduct Themselves Properly Not
In Any Danger.
Washington, April 5.—Official an-
nouncement was made today that for-
eigners in the United States who con-
duct themselves properly will suffer
no loss of property or liberty as a re-
sult of a declaration of a state of war.
After receiving a formal opinion
from Secretary Lansing, Secretary
Tumulty today sent the following tel-
egram on the subject to Mayor Seger
of Possaic, N. J.:
“There is no danger of any foreign-
er who conducts himself properly suf-
fering any loss of property or liberty
by reason of a state of war if such
should be declared by congress.”
Mayor Seger wrote to the white
house after a meeting of Mayors of
New Jersey cities at which the ques-
tion was considered. He reported that
some foreigners in Passaic were tak-
ing their money out of banks and in
other ways indicating their apprehen-
sion.
WORLD’S FOOD CROP SHORT.

3 HENDRIX & MOOR.
Rome, April 5, via Paris.—The
world’s food crop is deficient and the
situation is becoming alarming, ac-
cording to David Lubin, American
representative to the International In-
stitute of Agriculture. Mr. Lubin is
here to report the facts to President
Wilson through Ambassador Page and
is urging the imperative necessity of
a mobilization of American agricul-
tural resources. To a correspondent
of the Associated Press Mr. Lubin
said:
“For the first time in many years
there exists a deficit in the supply of
corn, wheat, rye, barley and oats, esti
mated at a total of 130,000,000 bush-
els less than the normal requirements
for countries open to trade. The sit-
uation is worse than was expected
last October. The institute’s reports
indicated then a surplus of more than
enough to feed the world until August
of this year, when the new crops will
begin to come in.
“We must profit by Europe’s experi-
ence before meal tickets become nec-
essary. We can avoid high prices by
eliminating waste, by growing more
food and by effective organization of
our food supply, which is more impor-
tant than getting men for the army.”
U. S. RECRUITING
OFFICER IN CITY
LOOKING FOR MEN FOR NAVY.—
THAT BRANCH OF THE SER-
VICE NEEDS THEM.
All you hear about is war and ru-
mors of the same thing. No sooner
had the ink gotten cold on the resolu-
tion signed by President Wilson than
a naval recruiting officer appeared on
the scene here arrayed in the habili-
ments and panoplied in the regimen-
tals of the calling he represents. He
was looking for likely fellows who
want to see the world, and this man
who is what is known as a master-at-
arms in the navy, is out to find these
young fellows and enlist them. His
name is W. L. Brown.
It may be that some of our boys
don’t know a belaying pin from a mar-
lin spike and that others could not tell
the hurricane deck from the larboard
watch, but that makes no difference.
If he is all right physically and is
eager for the fray he is on.
Of course this war may get to the
point where our boys would have to
actually go as far away from home as
Germany or France or England. It
might be that William II, emperor of
Germany and king of Prussia will
back down when he hears Uncle Sam
calling on his boys to defend the stars
and stripes and uphold the dignity and
honor of the flag on land and sea. Let
us hope: that this will be the case, and
that William will see where he is
headed, and as they say on the ocean,
heave to and haul down his colors.
In the meantime this Mr. Brown is
looking for men for the navy, and if
you want to join and can stand the
tests, as said before, you are on.
FAMILY AVOIDS
SERIOUS SICKNESS
By Being Constantly Supplied With
Tkedford’s BUck-Diaajht.
McDuff, Va.—“I suffered for several
rears,*’ says Mrs. J. B. Whittaker, oi
his place, “with sick headache, and
stomach trouble.
Ten years ago a friend told me to try
Thedford’s Black-Draught, which I did,
and 1 found it to be the best family medi-
cine for young and old.
I keep Black-Draught on hand all the
lime now, and when my children feel a
little bad, they ask me for a dose, and il
does them more good than any medicine
they ever tried.
We never have a long spell of sick-
ness in our family, since we commenced
using Black-Draught.'*
Thedford’s Black-Draught Is purely
vegetable, and has been found to regu-
late weak stomachs, aid digestion, re-
lieve indigestion, colic, wind, nausea,
headache, sick stomach, and similar
symptoms.
It has been in constant use for more
than 70 years, and has benefited more
than a million people.

Shall We Go It Alone
Or Join the Democracy of Europe
In Fighting Germany?
Shall we send an over-seas army to join the Entente Allies? Is it best for our
Navy to cooperate in destroying German submarines? Will unlimited financial assistance
to the Allies prove most effective? Or, shall we wage war with Germany independently of
her other antagonists?
On these questions editorial opinion throughout the United States is sharply, tho
far from evenly, divided, most of our press seeing in the European war a conflict of
principles, a struggle between absolutism and democracy, declaring that the United Statens
should cast its lot with the Allies on the firing line of democracy. The go-it-alone^
side of the argument is concisely stated by the Leavenworth Times : ^ This is an affair
of our own with Germany. To be sure, the fact that Germany is having trouble with us
probably will be of material assistance to the Entente Allies, but in their fight with
Germany we still are neutral.”
The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week (the issue dated
April 7th) presents the consensus of editorial opinion throughout the country on the steps
that should be taken in the present situation. All view-points are given.
Other timely articles on the war, and other subjects of world-interest, in this
number of THE DIGEST are:
Copenhagen, April 5. via London,
9:07 p. m.—The German public to the
present time has had no opportunity
to hear the full story of the reasons
leading up to the entry of the United
States into the war, as only condens-
ed and expurgated versions of Presi-
dent Wilson’s message appeared in
German newspapers yesterday under
headings indicating that this was vir-
tually the complete text. This in part
is apparently due to the fact that the
first versions of the speech telegraph-
ed from England to neutral countries
on the continent on Tuesday were
sharply condensed, whole sections
having been eliminated, particularly
from the latter part or the message.
But a comparison of this tabloid
version as received in Denmark, with
that published in Berlin shows that
the German censor’s pencils had been
vigorously employed to strike out
references to the conduct of German
agents, which constitutes one of the
main items of President- Wilson’s in-
dictment of the autocratic German
government.

HE KNEW.
A supervising principal recently was
testing some children in reading and,
in order to know whether they inter-
preted correctly, asked the meaning
of different words. One word which
promised difficulty was “christened.”
When asked, none could tell its mean-
ing the supervisor asked. “Well, what
do they do when a baby’s born?”
One urchin, whose home must have
had a recent visit from Mr. Stork,
popped up and said, “They weigh it.”

There is an old proverb to the effect that the
onlooker sees most of the game. The player’s con-
ception of it as a whole, that is as removed from his
individual effort or experience, is bound to be blurred
and clouded by the dust and noise of the struggle.
The observer notes the movements of all the players,
grasps the massed combinations, and surveys the ebb
and flow of the contest with cool understanding.
The reader of THE LITERARY DIGEST has the
benefit of such observation. He has summarized
for him weekly an impartial review of what is be-
ing thought, said, and done on all sides of the
great questions that are absorbing the interest of
the world, and he gets the inestimable advantage of
perspective. THE DIGEST takes no sides, keeps
out of the struggle of politics, social disputes,
trade rivalries, and the rest, and records all view-
points. Begin reading it at once if you really wish
to understand the great game of life as it is being
played to-day.
