Mr.. Shellworth also stated that the
company planned to provide sewer
system for the enlarged Cobban ad-
dition at it's own expense and desired
the privilege of connecting with the
main disposal works. This the city
attorney held could be done legally.
When objection was made to this ac-
ton on the ground that the expense
of giving sewer facilities to D. & G..
addition would be practically prohi-
bitive, Mr.. Shellworth stated that the
company would agree to make its
main lateral large enough to take care
of D. & C. sewage, provided the addi-
tional expense of larger pipe be
borne by D. & c. whenever that ad-
dition's sewer was built.

ONLY ONE RESOLUTION NEEDED

of 1915 with every ounce Of strength every impulse
of vitality every thought Of trained mind, every
power Of wellordered and disciplined body.
Noless is demanded Of loyal Americanism.
Minutes lost are hours lost. Hour lost are days
lost-and days lost are battles lost Wecannot af.
ford to lose battles.
DR.. Harry Garfield, fuel controller, asked the coal
minners of the country to give up their Christmas
and New Year holidays, because the time from mine
operations lost in the holidays was equivalent to
four million tons Of coal, and the country needs
coal imperatively.
Divide up the two millions daily among the thou
sands Of miners and divide the miners day b. min,
utes Very small indeed is the amount of coal made
available by the work Of one miner for one minute
1t might foolish to tell this miner not to waste
because thus the country would be deprived of an
ounce or so of coal. -.
But look at the aggregate fgures-two millions
daily! You get new idea of the usefulness of
minutes.
The year 1918 is made up not only of days or
months but of minutes. If we make every minute
count, we shall have rolled up in 1918 tremendous
bulk of achievement otherwise impossible.
II you carry out this one resolution, you won't
need others. ..-% - -.
The year 1918 stretches out before US, a year of
national stress, big with possibilities for good or
evil Do not discount the seriousness of the great
battle in which we are engaged. We cannot afford
to waste minutes. @ =. I s.. Il

doubt the ultimate result. - - ~

machine gun and rifle cartridges. All
OF us should be glad that we are liv-
ling In an age Of diffusion of knowl-
edge; we can trace men from the an.
thropozaic age to the twentieth cen
tury, and calculate their range of de-
veiObment and cultivation. Thus the
range is from the living in caves, to
the flying on the wings of the air.
Invention is the power wheel of
the world. It caused the patent-right
system to be born in England, and its
effective application has been tested
In Germany. Its greatest services
have been rendered In the United
States. Since the anthrop polithis epoch
three millions of patents have been
issued, and out of that number one
million and some hundreds have been
granted by the United States patent
office. Massachusetts in 1641 gave
Colonel Winslow a right. on his meth
cd OF making salt.
The greatest stride in invention
has been made within the last twenty
years. The world has been revolution
lied In art, transportation and agri-
culture. The various mechanics in
1911.12 got twice as much money for
their skill as their fellow mechanics
brothers got in 1891. Men possessing
no skill at all got better wages. With
all the mountains of complicated
laws in the different states against
the railroads, many of them being al.
most beyond the Interpretation of any
court, the average ton of freight is
transported for less than one cent per
mile.

This one resolution we should carry into the New
Year:
Make epery minute Of 1918 count for some pur.
Z pose lc0rth chile
Not in all the history of the United States has
there been time when our country has needed
more than now the ceaseless efforts OF its citizens
intelligently directed and animated by an unshak.
able purpose to make their efforts count for prac'
tical patriotism. -. So > .. ...
Not in all our history has the United States been
organized so minutely and so broadly for war pur'
poses as 1t is being organized today. In our pre-.
vious wars there was always magnificent personal
deyotian to the righteous cause but never any such
devotion of nationwide industry as see now on
every hand. And consequently there was never such
call for the individually active efforts Of the loyal
citizens Of every age, boodhertage, class profes-
sion and trade. - - T.
Furthermore, the business of making war has
speeded up. 1t has become specialized business
epecialized greater degree than any other bust
ness 1t has become business in which individuals
are small but essential parts of a machine which
must be kept in operation night and day, never halt
ing, never being allowed to break down. =
As the scope Of war has widened, its business
reaches into every corner of the globe The farmer
raising wheat in North Dakota or the planter har.
testing cane in Hawaii is as much part of that
business as the aviator lowering over the enemys
lines or the anxious lookout peering through the
periscepe Of submarine, or q soldier In the
trenches. .
