AMERICA AND WAR.

In times of intense mental stress, it is we'll to keep clearly in mind the ultimate object we have in view.
 If America is in this war, through no will of her own, it is, not to help or to hurt any particular belligerent, but to accomplish certain specific purposes that are distinctly and wholly American.
 That fact is.ene which every Ameri- can should set resolutely before him, and keep before him. America is at war. not to further Russian dreams of conquest, nor to destroy Germany, but to assert certain specific Ameri- can rights, which, as Americans, we feel bound to maintain. So far as Americans are concerned, this is not a war to hold the German colonies for England, to win back the lost provinces for France, or to place the Slav in control of the Dardanelles ), but to protect American rights on sea and on land, and to ensure that our sons will have handed down to them untarnished the heritage of freedom which our fathers bequeathed to us.
 In war it is for us to use our re- sources wisely, with an eye single to the efficient accomplishment of these great aims. We must consider, not the fortunes of other bclligerents, but our own future; and not merely the immediate moment, but the troublous times sure to follow the war, when perhaps we will need our resources of men and money more even than we need them today.
 After the war, what will face us ? We will find great European nations, armed and trained to the last man, burdened with debt, eager to recoup themselves, casting greedy eyes on our own developed resources and on untouched South America. We must be ready to meet the issue which will face us then.
 So 1t is well, whatever comes, to keep constantly before us the clear cut American purpose for which we are at war, and to be lured into pur- suit of no other or selfish objective

CONSCIENCE E-STRICKEN MAN MAKES RESTITUTION
Repentant One Usess Savings of Years to Pay for MOlasses Stolen
 Long Time Ago.


 Enid, Okla., April Tt will take Diogones, himself, equipped with a modern electric lantern, to fathom the mystery of the honest man," who stricken over a theft Gin early days when the country was in the makin'," travelled 200 hundred miles to pay T. w.

The en- tire $60O,OOO,OO0 worth of foodstuffs that the South imports from the North can be raised in the South. And in these days of food stringency, with mot enough to go 'round,' the na- ton would be better off if the South did more of it's own food raising-and so would the South.
 The Southern planter should raise his own corn, potatoes, garden truck, pigs and dairy COWS. With the appli- cation of sound business methods, ef- ficiency, industry and energy, it is possible that this s600,000OO0 worth of produce could be raised in addition to the regular cotton crop. That would mean the utilization of every acre of idle land, of course.
 It is absolutely necessary for the South to raise these diversified crops. It will hel pthe South and the North: the South would be more prosperous than ever; the North's teeming in- dustrial population would enjoy more reasonable prices than is otherwise possible.
 The South this year has wonder full opportunity of plunging into a virtual new business with every pros- meet of ma lxinr it nav "hip n
