COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag,
and to the Republic for which It
stands, one Nation indivisible with
Liberty and Justice (or All."
NO MIDDLE tiKOl'XO
The call to arms nun come. Con
gress and the president have declared
the United Stales at war with Ger
many, and we are at war. Tliero can
be no middle ground. We must be
either loyal or disloyal. Germany
lias forced the issue, and America
has accepted the challenge. If some
of us were in favor of peace before
the declaration of war, we can no?
uow be in favor tf peace if it has
to be bought by the sacrifice of this
government's digulty and honor. We
are at war, there can be no turning
back. America will respond to the
call and the nation's honor will be
upheld by its patriotic sons, for this
honor was upheld by our forefathers
who gave us liberty.
REASONS FOR THE WAR
Oftentimes the question is asked
why we are at war. Summarizing the
events of the past two yer.rs, the an
swer, as wo see It is very plain, and
shows conclusively that Germany is
to blame.
1st. She has defiantly murdered
American citizens and laid the re
sponsibility to us.
2nd. She has repeatedly violated
the l.-.ws of all civilized nations and
brazenly asked,
to do about it?"
3rd. She has plotted to destroy
our factories und interrupt our activ
ities on land and sea and also plotted
to incite Japan and Mexico to stab
us in the back.
4th. She outraged the whole civil
ized world when sho shot and dyna
mited her way through a little non
belligerent nation and caused untold
suffering to innocent people.
5th." Wholesale murder of inno
cent noncotnbatauts.
6th. Hundreds of crimes that are
barbarous and too numerous to be
mentioned.
These are only some of the rea
sons why Germany Is to blnmo and
why an outraged nation has taken
action against the arch enemy of
democracy and decent respect for
obligations between nations upon
which civilization depends.
Probably it will he a war to the
death, but the matter must be set
tled for ell timo to come.

"Bo Kind to Animals Week" will
be observed by humr.ne uocieties
everywhere April 16 to 22, ending
with Humane Sunday, when the
churches will feature the occasion
with special services. Schools will
call attention to the kind things that
may bo done for animals and the sev
eral thousand humane societies will
ask the co-operation of individuals

society, "We speak for those who
cannot speak for themselves." Kx.
Some men ofTer as an excuse for
their failure to accomplish certain
results, or to enjoy certain advant
ages, that they "haven't time."
The trouble is that so many men
try to do several things at once and
in the scramble overlook something.
Freiiuontly. the Item overlooked Is
one of the most Important.
The man who makes things happen
and achieves great results usually
does one thing at a time, closes the
transaction, then takes up another iu
logical order, and by careful, efficient
plunnlng, manages to get everything
done on schedule and have timo left.
