Sending an American Christmas

is the task of the woman's bureau
of the American Red Cross. The
large number of men in France, as

his mite to the cause of making

GoMPERs ON PREPAREDNEss

The whole nation take lesson from the letter
which President Gompers of the American Federation
of Labor has addressed the officers of three million
members of federated unions. He says:
1.-THE wage of the United States will have

liberty justice they have part in directing
spirit the methods that shall be adopted for the
defense of republic.
"Some plan will be adopted. Whatever the plan
may be it will affect wage earners primarily. If the
labor shall clearly enuncate what part it is
willing to take in defense of the republic it will be in
position to have voice in deciding the whole plan of
national preparedness for Defense but if the labor
should hold aloof should refuse to pro-
claim constructive program all wage earners will be
forced to accept conditions and methods determined by
those who do not understand sympathize with the
aims purposes of the labor movement"
In well-weighed words he has here stated the prob
that confronts every citizen group of citizens.
We all have duty to perform for liberty and justice
and the citizen who does not apply himself to construc

THE PETTY PRINCE FROM WISCONSIN

During the present war; we have heard considerable

a Russian Poland and Austrian Poland. We have
learned that the Poles themselves great people,
but people all living under foreign domination
Searching history find that Poland was at time
great power, the buwark of Christianity against the
invading Turk. The Poles performed a great service
for civilization and have contributed much to civza

We have read somewhere that historians generally
agree that the dismemberment and disntegration of
Poland due to the lack of strong central
ment. Under strong ruler it powerful but under
ruler the petty nobility asserted themselves
that the central government pOweress. 1t is said
that in the Polish Diet nobleman had the power to
veto the action of the whole assembly. We know
that with such constitution it is little wonder that the
Polish nation travelled the road to ruin
But in spite of this clear lesson of history, the
United States Senate still cngs to the ancient rule
which permitted LaFolette and his handful of adherents

Mr.. Williams was speaking of mail order competi-

THE retailer who is not using his local newspaper
for advertising is overlooking the biggest trade build

nothing that equals advertising for the
