A CRITICAL MOMENT IN
The NATIONS HISTORY

Rio Grande County Ways and Means
Committee
CARL b. STOW, Chairman

These are big times. Times of
cause the part each of us play in the
war shapes the results of this crisis.
The gravity of the situation must be
realized because of the serious dan
gers which confront the American
people-their lives, their liberties
and their institutions.
We should move today as if we
were to face Germany alone tomorrow
that the world may be made safe for
democracy. 1T is struggle of men
who love liberty everywhere" and
every individual should strike his
hardest blow during these critical
moments.
Remember that your life, your flu
ture and all you hold dear are at
stake, and If each citizen will realize
this condition and do his utmost to
defeat our enemy, it is possible to
bring the war to speedy and sue
cessful conclusion.
We are fighting for universal hui
man liberty-not a selfish and sep
arate kind, and today is the critical
spirit of patriotism and the need for
individual effort is our great duty to
humanity.
Here in this great agricultural dis
trict we are fortunately situated to
do even more than our share to
bring the war to successful termin-
alton. The production of increased
food supplies to feed the men our
government will send to Europe. as
well as the allied countries, is the
very foundation of our military
strength, and every producer of food
stuff who plans and labors to in
crease the yields of his crops. is ex-
ceptionally loyal and patriotic, and
shows his desire for freedom.
Approximately $500 acres of po-
tatoes will be raised in Rio Grande
county this year. and if by extra
labor or more scientific management
one additional sack of spuds could
be produced on every acre. you will
add to the worlds food supply dur
Ing this critical time total of TWEEN
ty-two cars of this essential food.
The governments plans for war
preparedness are being successfully
worked out; conscription developed
an effective and patriotic move; the
intelligent cooperation of the women
in the Red Cross work assures sue
cess for that branch of the war; the
sale of liberty bonds has staggered
the world with its incomprehensible
figures, and these patriotic achieve

OREGON APPEALS
FOR HELP ON SHIPS

The secretary of the Oregon State
Editorial Association informs The Sill
yer State that the effort of Oregon to
do her part in the war by building
steel and wooden ships is seriously
crippled because of lack of labor
Latest authentic information gath
cred points to the necessity of employ
ing at once nearly 10000 men in the
shipbuilding business at Portland, and
between two and three thousand in
yards outside that city.
With contracts already let and cer-
tain to be placed in the near future,
it is stated by the shipbuilders that
from 10000 to $4,000 men should be
employed by the close of this year,
or early next year. The work is on
hand to give this employment and the
demand for ships is growing greater
every day.
The development of an industry of
this magnitude so suddenly has re-
suited in drawing practically all avail
able men within immediate reach, and
already the shipbuilders of the state
are urging laboreTs from all parts of
the West to take positions in their
plants.
Appeals are coming from national
officials and leading business men of
the East for all seaboard states TO
concentrate their supreme energies
upon the program of building ships.
This is declared to be the greatest
duty confronting the nation today. and
on every hand it is admitted frankly.
despite optimistic statements made of
the position of the allied forces, that
unless ships are built by America at
a pace absolutely beyond the present
program, the effectiveness of the
United States in the European war
will be largely reduced. Germany IS
counting implicitly upon destroying
more ships than are built, to prevent
America from participating extensive
ly in the war. The submarine pro-
gram is making more rapid progress
than the shipbuilding program. For
these reasons the Federal government
ID putting Tie DutlQillS VI SnApo dS lAG
primary patriotic duty of the people
of the country, and urging every per
son who can aid in the work to take
it up with as much rey orence and as
much sense of duty as if he were en-
listing in the army.
Americas food, munitions, arms
and men cannot reach Europe without
an adequate supply of ships. Best
authorities declare these should be
built of steel and wood as rapidly as
the forces of the country can be mar
shaled for the work.
In the emergency every man who
has any mechanical or artisan skill
whatever is being adapted to some
part of ship construction, wherever
he desires to work. 1t has been nee
essary to teach labor to do classes of
work it has never undertaken before.
All the facilities for such instruction
are being provided by the shipyards,
the government, and state, and men
are having an opportunity to take up
lines of employment never presented
before at the best wages that have
ever been known in the Pacific
Northwest and perhaps the country.
