HOW TO WIN THE WAR.

Herbert Hoover says: "The ques-
ton of who wins this war is the
question of who can endure the long
est, and the problem Of endurance,
in a large degree. is a problem of
food supply and the ships to carry it.
If. therefore we can arrange our
economies in consumption and our
increase in production so as to pro-
vide a full supply to the allies, and
thus to get the best use of the ship
ping. we can contribute to the defeat
of the submarine as surely as do our
Navy and shipbuilders. The farmer
of the United States who works ov-
ertimc and the consumer who econo-
mics in his consumption are fight
ing the submarine with a positive
and sure weapon"

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

For some cause or other Ohio
county is tagging way behind the
other counties in the State in the
matter of patriotism.
So far it has been impossible to
arouse any enthusiasm in any pat
riotic move that has been made in
the county.
Take the Liberty Bond campaign,
for instance. From a patriotic stand
point it would have been a complete
failure had it not been for the untir
ing efforts of the county chairman,
Mr. John H. Barnes, and his co-work-
ers. True, quite a number were pres
cnt at the Liberty Bond meeting at
the court house here a few weeks
ago, but only few of those present
subscribed for the bonds.
A few nights ago a speaker in the
interest of the State War Works
Council of the Y. NJ. C. A. at the
Methodist church was greeted by
only a small audience, and so far as
we have been able to ascertain, there
was no enthusiasm whatever dis
played.
What's the matter with our peo-
Pile? Can it be that they consider
this a war of the few, and that the
various patriotic moves are not of
vital Importance to them? Surely
not.
This is not a war of any man, any
set of men, or any party-it is our

war--a war that directly concerns
every man, woman and child in Ohio
county, and the sooner we awake to
the realization of this, and begin
taking part in every movement for
the advancement of our government,
the better safeguarded will be our
boys who have gone to the front to
fight our battles for freedom and
liberty.
We must get the notion out of our
heads that this is not MY war, nor
MY PARTY'S war, but put our
shoulders to the wheel" and push
for it is OUR war and it is up to us
to do OUR part by taking an inter
est in every patriotic move.
What's the matter? Wake up!
