As the real issues present them selves it becomes evident that this nation acted wisely indeed to get into the con flic t at this time, and' assist the other nations who love peace and fairness to humanity, in stead ot waiting until a Inter date, and possibly facing the armies of the kaiser alone. Crook County has nn every call that has been made thus, far, promptly, and is far ahead ot many communities in this respect. The quota of men was filled promptly, the $50,000.00 liberty loan bonds were subscribed readily. The Red Cross subscription is next in order. We are asked to raise $5000.00 for that purpose, and it must be done without question. No more important work can be imagined than that the lied Cross performs. Thousands upon thousands of lives are being saved In Europe- hy this organization, and since a large number of our boys will be on the battle fields there in a short time, it is necessary that the calt for funds be met promptly. Next week is Red Cross week, and everyone will be given an op portunity to assist. Meet the first call with your subscription, for the people who are donating time and the use of cars in making the can vass are no more interested than you are. It is our war, do your bit. THE BEAR CREEK ROAD ffi la 85 H 55 m ffi if! 7se hotter Jtour Standard. mm Made from Crook county's best grain It has that superior flavor PRINEVILLE FLOUR MILLS 5 1 9 8 9 8 : : : ffl (By Albert Schreder) The Item reported In another column of The Journal relative to the road proposed by Mr. Luthy, I 1 believe will bear a few comments from one who can look on without a view of personal benefit. In my travels through the Bear Creek country, I have had an un equalled opportunity to talk to the people about the road systems and to find out their ideas. This fact seems to be unanimous we need better roads. But right there the unanimity of opinion J ceases. i In my talks with the people no general system of road improvement i seems to meet with general en couragement. At one home a plan for road Im- I provement would be heartily en ! dorsed, while at probably the very j next place it would be bitterly ' scored." j To one just looking on it would 'seem that everybody, is willing to see a road built as far as their door but if it goes through their field or helps some neighbor a little farther up the line, that part of the road either does not have their support, or has their active hostility to com bat, j This sounds far-fetched, "people, but you will have to go through the mill as I have done during the last three weeks to realize how true it is. How the County Court can possi bly hope to accomplish anything in the face of this is a mystery. It has now shown a disposition to act, in fact is anxious to relieve the present situation. Are YOU going to assist or knock. The question is now strictly up to you. The date of the hearing Is set. Sections of the country bene fited by this road should send dele gations to this term and assist all they can. Those who cannot go personally to the Court should send a letter stating their feelings. It is certainly worth a two cent stamp to you to have this improvement Send a letter to County "Court, Prineville, Oregon, letting them know your opinions. Boost, don't knock. If you are opposed to this road point out distinctly in what way it could be improved upon with the limited amount of money on hand Sign your name to your letter.
