/ want to wish all of the people of
Linton and surrounding country
Happy New Year. and take this OBJ
portunity to thank YOU for. the ma
tronage and good will that you have
shown me since l have had charge
of publishing the Emmons County

full in giving me the news, as you know
it is very hard for a stranger to get
all of the news, and if at times there
has been some article left out, we as
sure you that it was not our fault.
However, we are becoming more ac-
quainted all Of the time and will nut
forth our best efforts to give you a
newsy paper.
= / also want to take this opportunity
to thank the business men for their
support, in the line of advertising and

been getting our share of the work,
sbut business instinct urges us to. try
and get more advertising. There is
no reason why Linton. should no. be

But to make it this, it is necessary
for the business men to cooperate

to come here and trade. Let's start
out this new year right, by all pulling
together to make Linton the shopping
center of the county. .t

There is less !. rt-American noise
in this country now. partly because it
is becoming dangerous to make it.
But the lack of this noise does not
insure an increase in loyalty. Put
ting muzzle on an anti-American
will not make a good American of
him. 1t may make more or less
harmless class of careless, talkative
persons whose influence would not
have been great in any case. But the
silent anti-American may still be the
most dangerous one.
Germany's aim and Germanv's
abomniable methods 70 warfare are
now so well and widely known that the
true American can be neither silent
nor an Indifferent spectator. The
test of patriot now is his heatry
activity in every word and deed that
will forward the war against Ger

Indifference toward the war l.; no y
possible to any one in America cx-
ccpt to the feeble minded and the

Many who talked violently for Ger

wish to refrain from any act or deed
prejudicial to the American cause;
but such persons s.>,uld not be en-
trusted with any public office, and in
no case should they be retained as
teachers in public schools.
AT this critical period of the war
General Washington's command is
timely: put only Americans on

You are saving wheat and meat in
your home for the soldiers by observ-
ing wheatless and n.2utless days.
What does that saving amount to in
dollars and cents to yourself.
A practicable way has been sug-
gested, not only for keeping account
of your savings but of putting them
away so that they vol really be saw
ing to you.
Invest the 25 cents or the so cents
that you did not spend for meat in a
thrift stamp. Paste the stamp on the
card furnished by the government and
watch your savings from whcatess
and meatless days grow into sub
stantial savings account.
This means three patriotic services.
You will be saving food, helping Uncle
Sam finance the war and putting your
self in position to offer further finan-
cial assistance.

1t seems to US that too many cap
tured spies are being informed.
Spies in war times have always ex-
pccted death if caught and the United
States should make no exception.
Our soldiers are being taught to
weaken the enemy morale. Why not
weaken the enemy snv morale by as
surfing them, by example, of death at
