* * * This paper has enlisted with the government in the cause of America for the period of the war

THE PEACE OUR SOLDIERS WANT—THE PEACE OUR WAR MOTHERS WANT. The Stars and Stripes, the official newspaper pnblished by the soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces in France, a copy of which we have received from Lieutenant Clarence W. Way, now in France, says editorially about the enemy peace offensive : “Let the weak hearted who are dreaming of a compromise; let the pacifists who are talking a peace by agreement; let the sideliners who have had enough of war; let the secretly inclined proGermans who think this war should end without a decision—let them one and all know once and for all that for the American Expeditionary Force there is no such word as ’Peace' with the Huns unbeaten. The man who talks of peace to-day, except through victory'. a traitor." The enemy peace offensive is likened to the action of German machine gun crews in the Yesle fighting, when they fought and killed Americans until they were surrounded, then shouted “Kamerad.” , The mothers of the American soldiers in France want the same peace their sons demand. All the courage of the ancient Spartan mother is in the hearts of the women of America. The object of the Fourth Liberty Loan is to bring that peace— a just peace, a righteous peace, an American peace.

MARBLE INDEX OF A MIND.

The statue of General Kirby Smith, of Florida, who fought against the Union in the Civil War, now graces Statuary Hall in Washington. It has been placed just in front of General John Stark, of New Hampshire, the Revolutionary hero of Bennington, who fought for the establishment of the Nation which Smith and his brothers-in-arms sought to destroy. Gazing at Smith across the hall, with the front of Jove himself, is Daniel Webster in cold marble, the gift of Massachusetts to the Republic. Webster’s words have sealed themselves into the memory of every true American, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable." Kirby Smith finds company in Statuary Hall, and if the South continues in control of Congress much longer it is predicted that if the stone replica of Jell Davis is finally set up there he will find a working majority among his Confederate cronies. Florida might well have selected Stephen R. Mallory, United States Senator. deceased, who did much good work for the Republic, but evidently Florida, as well as the rest of the South, feels that the opportunity is here to pay tribute to the memory of the Southern secessioners. The statue of President James Buchanan is also in course of erection at the Capital of the Nation.

“PAVE THE WAY TO BERLIN” Toe Ann Implrnwnt* for thf plujr- j Idk 'jf thl* new chiii<' have arrived In ; Philadelphia from Washlnctou, and aoon will Ik- In every town ami city In . the Third Federal Reaerve Plat rid.

The ootfll consists of a lar»e hoard ; sign with a faithful map of France and Germany painted on. On the ri*hl of It. appears the j American front line In France. To ; the left la Berlin. Between the two polnta are con- , tours showlnc the hill* and valleys j the mountain* and the rivers, to be I crossed by the “yank*" on the trip ! to the capital of G< many.

McMane. who i _ ls been one of Summit's representatives In the county governing body for several years, and who in pilvau-busin.-s* life is the superintendent of the Commonwealth Water Company, has been notified that his tender of _ to the Government for war ' work uas tx-en accepted, and that a commission as First Lieutenant in thr j Quartermasters* Department has been ' ' Issued to him.

All you are asked to do Is to buy only necessary things and then loannot give- your savings to your Gov eminent to help It fight your war.

COLD COMFORT. Secretary of the Interior Lane nays that “we should all be eoncerued in placing as many of the returned soldiers zs possible on the land, from which comes all life.” Well, that depends. We are friends of the soldier and wish him well. In fact, we wish him the best there is in the country. Before we place him on the | land, we should like to feel reasonably sure that he will be best off there, and will be best satisfied there. We should like to be! reasonably sure that out of his 12 to 16 hours of hard work ever}'! day he will get as much return in the way of monetary reward and comfort as the city worker gets out of his eight hours per j day. The Government has been extremely active in the last fee | months short, ning the day and raising the compensation for men in cities—the factory workers, the railroad employees, the gov-1 erament employees, and the shipbuilders. The government has protected the compensation of all the workers except the agricul-1 tural workers, and has looked after the interests of none of them except the cotton growers. The President lias wired the Georgia cotton growers that they need have no concern about the price of cotton. Aside from that, and* a very limited plan to loan monrj 1 to farmers who are on the verge of bankruptcy as a result! of their work this year, the government has done nothing for the j agricultural producer. What reason have we to believe, therefore. that we would U- doing the returned soldier a favor by phic-| mg him on the land? The man who has bared hi* breast to the bullets of the Hun is entitled to something better than a chance' to labor 12 or 16 hours a day with n gi»od chance of having to go l»irgii<g for a government loan U» carry him through the winter. Isn’t he?

WHY IS IT— That practically all of the allotment of gravel irrnn th*- < ounty to Sen Isle City has I wen placed by a local Freeholder on a road uaed by five per rent of the people, and the road used by ninetyfive per cent has been left in a deplorable condition?

Forward!

With no thought of bursting shrapnel and poisonous gases into which they plunge—with every muscle tense, with every faculty of mind alert, with one thought only—TO FIGHT AND WIN. That is the way our men are going into battle. When the shrill whistle sounds the advance, out they go—their whole heart in the task before them. No power on earth can hold them back. Forward! The same sharp challenge to battle is sounding for us. We must answer in the same proud way—the way of our fighting men—the American way. ff^e must lend the way they fight. We must show the war-maddened Hun a united American people mov-. ing forward shoulder to snoalder, irresistibly, to Victory. Oar task is to supply the money, the ships, the guns, the shells that we must have to win. It is a tremendous task. We must do it as our fighting men do theirs—with the indomitable spirit of Victory. Wc must work, and save, and lend with one thought only—TO FIGHT AND WIN. v Get into the fight—with yoar whole heart. Buy Bond*—to the utmost! This Space Contributed by Swift & Company

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR he employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change hu spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN DO is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results. Edward B. Arnett
