j: Americans Have More Because They Do More
i ^
JUST as the American farmer reduced the time
necessary to raise a bushel of wheat from 3 1-2
s hours to 8 minutes by improved machinery, so have
Americans in all walks of life doubled and trebled
their producing capacity. They bring to their aid
I every improved device or machine that increases
|; the result of their labor. Instead of skimping and
saving they get busy and do more that they may
II have more.
IV
i Now they are equipping the kitchen with real
machinery, and it is high time, as the kitchen range
is a cooking machine that works three times a day,
: every day in the year. As a machine it should be
the very best possiole. That means that their
kitchen should be equipt with a Copper-Clad Range,
which is plain, smooth, free from hinges, catches and
latches, rivet and bolt heads, a range that cleans like
; a dish and never rusts out.

Men c# Draft Age Must
Work or Fight.
Compaint has been made to the
County Council of Defense that the
industries of our city are in danger
of shutting down from the lack of
sufficient hands to effectually carry
on their business and this condition
prevails in particular at the Com
press, Oil Mill, Mills and Veneering
Plant, all of which are unable to em
ploy full forces, although high wages
are paid and continuous work is pro
vided.
Specific coPoplaint is made that the
persons accustomed to do this class
of labor will not remain continuously
employed.
This is to notify all persons within
the ages of 18 and 45, both inclusive,
who have received deferred. classifi
cation either on account of depend
ents, or been placed in the class for
limited service 'that you must imme-.
diately engage in some essential and
productive class of employment and
your labor must be continuous and
this means SIX DAYS’ LABOR
EACH WEEK, and any person of
draft age who does not so labor con
tinuously each w< ) will be taken be
fore the LOCAL BOARD £or imme
diate induction in ACTIVE MILI
TARY SERVICE. No idler of draft
age, or of any other age will be long
er tolerated’ in this community. A
person who has received the favor of
deferred classification and ^vho is
not engaged in work essential to the
carrying on of the War is as much a
TRAITOR to his country as if he was
actually engaged in assisting our
enemies. YOU ARE EITFJER' A
PRO-GERMAN OR A SLACKER and
you must either WORK or FIGHT
and the proposition is put to you
squarely. If you won’t Work contin
uously, it is a cinch that you will do
some FIGHTING, and this will be
the only warning that will be given.

Chairman Committee on Labor,

Washington, Oct. 9.—The Belgian ^
government, according to an official
dispatch from France today, has
been in consultation for the past
week with the allied powers regard
ing measures to be adopted in case
the Germans continue depredations
in Belgium and northern France.
Belgium has issued a declaration
calling attention to the systematic
sacking and destruction by the ene
my, and saying that from the coast
to beyond Bruges the entire male
population between the ages of 15
and 45 has been brutally treated
while being compelled to work for
the military needs of the German
army. A demand is made that the
Germans be warned to stop their cru
elty and destruction while evacuat
ing the country.
Ambassador Sharp, the dispatch
says, has visited the ruined districts
of France collecting proof of the de
vastation and witnessing the evi
dences of well poisoning, destruction
f fruit trees and desecration of bur- M
al places. \
