carries with it power aud etticienc
and is the recognized standard of up
to.date production the world owe
and we, as Americans. are prou'
of it. At one time before the Euro

a trade mark that carried an unde
current of confidence in trade, tina
made it easy to market their output
not so today-things have changed
and our people begin to realize tina
we can and do produce the best ii
the world. All this was forced upor
us by the inability of Europe to sup
DIV our demands. This forced the
brains of America to get busy and
get busy she did. and the result il
an ever increasing demand o I
goods MADE in America! Who
furnishes munitions of war? Who
furnishes a large proportion of the
war equipment, including automo'
biles and motor trucks, clothing for
the warning nations, and in fact the
whole requirements are made in
America, by Americans-in Ameri-
can factories and we pay American
wages. Our American mechanics
are thrifty and industrious and our
factories are beehievs of activity,
not solely on account of war orders
but on general principles are up and
doing, always ready to meet any de-
mand. Go to any manufacturing
city and you are favorably impress
ed with tn. homes Of the mechanics;
the churches. schools and parks, all
bespeak of thrift and all bear the
marks MADE in America"
Our own city is not immune from
the infection, our mills and factories
turn out "a large quantity of goods
Made in America.
We are growing a developing
nation, when we cease to grow we
die, that is why foreigners cannot
understand why we are eternally on
the move, digging up the streets,
putting in sewers, building railways
This eternal eruption and change is
what makes itAmerica1. Americans
can not give an order to have city
ready and then move in and enjoy
it-and leave it alone. No they
must push on, make improvements
and keep every one busy. Whether
it effects his nerves or not, that cuts
no fikule because it is American,
and when in America one must do
as Americans do.
When election time comes do we
20 to a fine building with full quota
of ltvered attendants TO cast our bal
lot? Well I should say not. The
American wants to 60 to a barn, a
garage or a barber shop, to cast his
ballot, he wants nothing made for
him. he wants to make everything
for himself, and enjoy the fruits of
his labor. We see and admire splen-
did mansions with their beautiful
lawns, with all the luxuiries that
wealth can supply-and no doubt
the occupants enjoy all this comfort
and we are glad if they do, but when
we want an alderman or president
we 90 to a plain frame dwelling on
a side street-a house put up may
be with funds from an American
building and loan association, a
house which bears earmarks of
daddy's tinkering with the blinds
and storm doors, whose windows
gleam at night with the yellow light
the kerosene lamp and whose
fire shines bright through the ISM
glass of the parlor stove whose cheap
but tasteful Gu ia g have been
draped by mothers busy fingers,
whose panes may bear the marks
OF little faces and fingers pressed to
the glass waiting for daddy's COM
ing We know they are not artistic
and we are glad of it. but houses of
this sort, are the kind we 90 to
when we want a man to serve US.
