blasting OF hopes and overwhelming
disasters which war has always brought
from the very dawn of history
| To you war is only word of three
letters which may mean something I'M
pleasant to very remote people, but not
to you.
You think we are safe from invasion,
that no foe can come laundering over
our borders with awful engines OF de-
struction that could turn your homes
into smouldering ruins in an hour.
You think no hostile aircraft can float
above you while. you sleep, dropping
booms that would shatter your houses
to matchwood and crumbled stone and
your bodies to fragments of bloody
meat.
Is there an anti. aircraft gun here to
drive them away? No. Or mighty
searchlight to spy them out among the
midnight clouds? No. Do you want
this protection? Then help pay for it..

forth? Who foresaw the wonderful
changes in Europe? The Russian revo-
luton? What new nations may be
brought into this world conflict? And
how near our borders may the danger
be? The world is aflame-and we are
in War and still unprepared.
Awakel Arise The call has come
Your banks, your business men-men
of careful thought and wide informa-
ton, have given the alarm to pass on to
you. Our hearts are stout, our cour-
age proved, our minds are clear and
our cause is just. 1t is our deadly,
wicked Indifference, our false security,
our blindness and our sleep that dan
ger lies. Awake Arise
Famine goes hand in hand with war.
We must have no famine here, nor
need we. Black disaster to business
as well as lives, families impoverished
homes lost, lives drained away by want,
these we must not have, nor need we.
But we must work-all must work,
and work with intelligence, with unit
ed effort, with desperate earnestness.
We must arm-must prepared Arm
the nation with all the costly new sci
tentific discoveries Of warfare. We must
feed millions now fighting for us in the
field. We must provide the money
must subscribe the Liberty Loan.
The call has come-Arise! You will
be called to act on a committee, or to
actively work at securing bond sub
scriptions. Answer with JOY and pride
and answer at once. And as you work
give thanks that you are so called and
are not called at midnight to step forth
in a binding blast OF death from the
skies. to see all those you love gasping
in quivering heaps-for an instant be-
fore you, YOURSELF. are blown into a
mangled shapeless thing.
The call has come. Awake Take
part-and put your BACK into it. Arise (!

the same week lady and gentle

While they escaped injury, it
was only miracle that they did.
1t seems that about one. half or
more of the fatal and serious au.

unprotected entertainments and
railroad grade crossings. Both
of these are preventable and
should be made so that no furth

occur.
Powell county has a number of
'similar Death traps, and there
seems to be but little disposition
to eliminate them. Some one
will be seriously injured or killed

Viscount Ishii, returned home today.
All members expressed the utmost en-

The magnitude OF the preparations

war on Germany is literally undreamed

preparations will have a great influence
on the victorious conclusion of the war"
Ishii likewise glowingly praised "the
firm determination Of the American peo-
pie in their united work in preparing
for war.

back as his most vivid recollection the
firm friendship of America and the as
tonishing magnitude of the nations fac

Failure With Ourselves

proximate but never realize? Must it

No, Is il something that I would like

own? No,
But the explanation is in the text
Let me read it again. your iniduities

sins have withholden good things from
you"
