SHIP BUILDING eLUNpERs

Although victory in the war ant
the equipment and safety of Ameri
can soldiers abroad depend chief,
upon the rapid construction of ships
the administration shipbuilding pro
gram has proved failure up to date
according to the Patriotic Education
society.
In a report on the conditions which
resulted in the recent shakeup in the
emergency fleet corporation, the soci.
ETY. says:
America in 1918, at it's present
rate of progress, will produce about
100000 tons of new shipping instead
OF 100000 tons promised by the
emergency feet corporation. 1t is
doubtful if the new government built
yards will turn out single ship in
1913. This estimate is based on care
full investigation of the facts and is
proved by the leading authorities on
the subject in the ountry.
The society charges that red tame
and bureaucratic inefiiciency are re-
sponsible for the fact that the gov
|ernment has scarcely made a begin
ming of the vast but imperative prof.
ect seven months after the declara-
tiOn of war and nine months after the
rupture of relations between the
United States and Germany.
The government, whether inten-
.ionally or not, has. adopted the GUS
tom OF including in it's announce
nents OF new tonnage all those YES
sells that were building on the WAYS
when the United States went to war
and which have since been comman-
deered by the shipping board. says
the society.
OF these ships are being produced as
the result of government effort. All
OF these vessels were being built for
the account Of England, Of France,
,r of Norway. In the ordinary course
.hey would have been engaged in the
transatlantic service, and the fact
that they have been commandeered
by the United States has not added a
single ton to beat Germany.
The statement makes this comment
on what the delay has already cost:
Had America possessed the neces-
sary ships Italy's cries for help would
not have fallen on deaf ears. We
have an army that might be rushed to
France, but it is serious question il
we have even ships enough to main
tain the army already on the ground.
What ships we have are not used
to the greatest advantage. We have
not learned the lesson that ships held
In port through unnecessary delays
are lost to transportation that long"

WHY WE HAVE A GREAT COUNTY

A criterion in judging the greatness
OF men could not, in a few moments
come to a just decision. He would
nave to know the circumstances thai
surrounded each one and the environ
ment in which each one lived. He
would have to know the amount OF
effort that was shown by each to be
great. These are the things that
have an intrinsic value in the life OF
men.
So it is with our county. Putnam
county does not have the vast acre
age in natural bluegrass that has
been bestowed upon some of our sis.
ter counties, nor do we have the
miles of cleared lard that has been
inherited by some counties of the
state, neither do We have the soil
that will produce richly and abund-
antly without much work and ex-
pense. What, then, you say, makes
our county great.
We are living in great county be-
cause we are people that have ex-
perienced hardship And with it all
we have seen future that holds for
us the possibilities of great COM
munity We do not have to say to
the newcomer, my grandfather clear
ed that field" but we can say, 81
cleared that field" and instead of an
advance in some places that has TAX
en- several generations to materialize
we have made practically the same
advances in one Any man can live
in a rich country, but the man who
can live in a poor country, and not
alone live, but give to his heritage a.
better soil than he received is indeed,
worthy and great.
You can all remember when the
farmer Of the Flat Woods" would be
compelled to go to the Hills" for his
corn. You can remember the first
time you heard of the shallow culti-
walton of corn. You can remember
when soy beans. were a curiosity.
You can remember when Putnam
county did not have within her boun-
daries a pure bred animal Last OF
all there is the silo. Do you know
that in the last two years we have
built eleven silos for the purpose of
feeding beef cattle, and ten of these
were built the past year. Do you
know that Pntnam county has taken
her place at the head of the list with
the soy bean producing counties Of
the state. This has all been done in
times of peace when we were not
urged by patriotic sentiment to pro
duce more food stuffs. But now the
government, together with its com
plicated forms of legislation and 9th
er important issues, is calling on US
to tax ourselves to the limit to make
our farms source Of supply rather |
than drawback to progressive |
and nation. Is it not our
duty to consider this call?
No matter what you think Of the
present war policy, no matter If you
think it is all wrong, it is your duty
to feed your son and your neighbor's
son, who are at the front protecting
The land upon which you raise food
for him. In doing this you surely
will be your brothers keeper.
There are thousands of people who
are watching Putnam county during
his crisis, and her rating and prest-
ge in the future will depend upon
he manner in which she uses her re-
sources in the coming seasons. Let
is feel proud of our county. Let us
eel proud of our community, and af
er this war may the boys come back
% their home county and say, Eve
Inow she Is GREAT"
