Just a Little Story About a Big Job:
HOlU Uncle Sam Built Army Cities

From this shop on FIST contracts for
si50,00OOO0 worth OF work have been
given out.
There was no effort 20 advertise for
bids and let TO the lowest bidder. In
stead OF this a census was taken OF
the big firms and each was notified II
would have certain work 10 perform,
and would be compensated on the
basis Of cost plus 7 per cent. or larger
per cent. II the Job was small. But no
single Arm or individual would be per-
mltted TO drag down more than S25OOO0.
The contractors were told that they
could pay the best wages paid in the
community, with certain advances
when necessary TO draw labor. SO they
were satisfied and there was no scar
city Of labor.
June the nrst contract was ap-
proved and June 10 the FIRST work
started.
AT each osntonment Job an average
of 5000 men were employed. AZ the
beginning there were less and at the
peak" from 5000 TO 10000. The men
worked eight hours and were paid
haf wages extra for overtime.
Al the last minute u was decided
20 have the barracks two stories. This
saved roofing, lumber and land space
and reduced the cost si2,OOOOOO.

WARNING.

thankful il the parties would return

State road. They we're placed there as
danger signals. Persons doing such
little petty stealing as this endangers

might cause innocent persons to be

the guilty parties think it high cut to
get cheap lanterns, but il might turn

things like this has happened. 1t has
been almost impossible to keep ropes
on our Fresnns. besides several picks,
shoyels and other small tools have been
stolen in the last few months, and not
very long ago a small sack OF bridge
bolts were stolen, In tact there seems
to be a mania along that road TO steal
tools, or anything that can be found
loose at both ends. Now we don't care
how much you cuss the road or any of
its construction, but whoever is doing
this is some petty thief that might be
brought to i"stice, as we have a very
good line on the guilty parties. with
good prospects OF an early arrest and
conviction, so it might be well for

Encourage Location Of Industries.

N
wealth in this town, II So here a few vital
- points consider.
The live town is always on the lookout to add
other industry to its list.
Industries make work, and work attracts workers,
and Of workers the town is built,
manufacturing plant added to your town
positive addition to the earning capacity of every
citizen of the town So that in encouraging in.
dustres you not only patriotcally aiding your
community, but directly promoting your for
tunes
We have few called business who
satisfied with the population Of their community
didn't want any people didn't want any
trade, didn't want any money.
Those dead and didnt know it but the
community DID know IT,
The town that makes a determined effort to attract
and industries will GET them Its facilities may
be limited its wealth may be great, its situation
may not be advantageous. But LIVE PUBLIC
SPIRIT appreciation of every added assets
the feature that attracts the intelligent business
who is seeking location.
No manufacturer wants to conduct a business in
dead town 1t matters not that the town may
dollars worth of his goods The very atmosphere of
the dead town is like wet blanket his business.
The town with pep, with ginger, with hustle, in
jects the qualities into every business within it's
envrons. Shire sd business men know this, and hunt
for just such towns.
If would grow : a we must show that
WANT growth. And we must offer INDUCE.
MENTS.
For instance
We want to land a manufacturing plant We go
after it, The managers stpulate for convenient
site donated. We donate it. We secure the plant
Now did the donation of the site that plant?
TT DID NOT That was the smallest consideration.
The SPIRIT that PROMOTED the donation the
magnet that did the pulling The managers of
the enterprise wanted to locate in a community where
that spirit ruled They could afford to pay for site,
but there way of determnin whether the com.
nunity really WANTED their enterprise located in its
midst
And thus il goes and
1t is not the bonus, the site, or even the exemp.
on from that is the real drawing power in loca-
ting new enterprises that to aid in building
up and developing community.
1t is the SPIRIT BEHIND these actions Itisthe
BROAD and JUST view taken by the CITIZENS of
the community view that RECOGNIZES the
VALUE of the enterprise sought that CONCERNS its
USEFULNESS as a FACTOR in the community.
We are all human We like to be appreciated at
what feel and know to be real worth. Even the
hardest headed business among is susceptible
TO just appreciation of his worth the community
So when we show the industry that we WANT it:
when say to it, by words and actions that
we APPRECIATE it and VALUE it at its TRUE
WORTH then it is that industry conceiyes desire to
be among and of us.
Our will be big as genuine ambition
1t will be progressive And the spirit of
the population we attract will be OF THE SAME
KIND own spirit
You find live person under slab in a grave
yard And towns but collections of people and
enterprises from which those people live
Just need good frst-class hotel There
is WAY TO GET 1T
Will we do it?

HALL CANE MAKES VIGOROUS
 DEMAND FOR AIR RAID REPRISAL

(written by Hall Caine, the Popular
 British Author)
 German aircraft have raided the southeast coast again, and killed and injured 250 people,"
 A terrible responsibility now rests on those who have hitherto resisted the call for reprisals.
 Since I published my recent articles in London and in the American news papers, I have received many protests from the highest-minded people, who have taken the view that, in defiance of my previous record, and everything I have hitherto said and tried to teach in my books, I have advocated a policy of the most inhuman wick edness.
 But in the face of this latest atroc- ity-a totally unnecessary and brutal attack on a little undefended town, lying breast-open to the sea, full at this time possibly of school children on the eve of their, whitesuntide holi- day-such critics must, think, re- consider their moral responsibility.
 The plain issue before them now Is whether an enemy so wanting in the moral sense, so cowardly, so unchris- tian, SO inhuman, so miserably inspir- ed with the grossest motives of re- venge and conquest, in word so des- titute of the elementary sense of right or wrong, can be restrained by any other means than those which he ia

Amusement
.POLI's

The last day has arrived when one of the snappfest shows that has ap- peared at Poli's theatre for many weeks may be seen. Today Is n..si- lively the last day of George Walsh s smiling face appearing at the Poli theatre in "Some Boys which makes them all roar and hold their sides in the great comedy production he leads. As a woman impersonator he is immense and on lsnd and sea he is the same. His clever exhibition climbs are truly wonderful.
 Lady Agnese with her five Irish colleens is attracting attention wide ly because of her mission to this coun- try in connection with the relief of suffering children in the Eme9rald Isle. Her act,< staged by a master hand and dominated by talented nlisses, each of whom is said to have kissed the Blarney Stone and at leaat capable of nifty music and dance.
 There are besides these two big fea- lures. an unusual showing by the Hearst-Pathe news service, whirl- wind offering by Lulu Goats and her crackerjacks. Lowry & Lacey sis ters are three ginger-snaps personi- fled, Cole Russell & Davis in a pep per-pot act of talk that Is original and we'll shot across and the three musical Brittons who suspend action not for one moment after they go up on the stage.

 say that he is palpably incapable of approach from any higher stand point. He is a brute, and the only way to deter him is to treat him as you would treat a brute, to restrain him from his outrages as you would restrain a brute.
 If it is answered me that this im- plies a violation of the moral law, reply that where war is there can be no moral question of moral lawe--- war being essentially the negation of moral law, only called to existence when moral law has failed.
 If we are Justified within ordinary region and necessity of war in shelling the French villages which lie in tho Hindenburg line, and thereby destroy ing French property, what moral law will condemn us for doing to the Ger mans as they did to usVbeing prompt ed thereto by sense of justice only, and determination to prevent such things from being done again. I know that after the publication ot these words, spoken in the heat of indignation, shall receive further ve- hement protests, not to speak of ex- pressions of regret. that will touch me l more deeply, but feel at this moment of writing that the moral responsibil- ity of those who deny oNr right of re- prisals IS immeasurably greater than my own, both men and God.
