amount of advertising that paper
carries, we think the statement is
correct.

THE ROAD TO FRANCE

(By Daniel NJ. Henderson,
Thank God our liberating lance
Goes flaming on the way to France!
To France-the trail the Gurkhas
found!
To France-old England's rallying
ground.
To France-the path the Russians
strobe!
To France-The Anzacs' glory road!
To France-where our Lost Legion ran
To fight and die for God and man!
To France-with every race and breed
That hates Expressions brutal creed!
All, France-how could our hearts for
get
The path by which came Lafayette?
How could the haze of doubt hang low
Upon the road of R~ochambeau?
How was it that We missed the way
Brave Joffre leads us along today?
At last, thank God! At last we see
There is no tribal Liberty!
No beacon lighting just our shores!
No freedom guarding but our doors!
The fame she kindled for our sires
Burns now in Europe's battle fires!
The soul that led our fathers west
Turns back to free the worlds op-
pressed!
Allies, you have not called in vain!
We share your conflict and your pain!
"Old Glory" through new stains and
rents
Partakes of Freedoms sacraments!
Into that hell his will creates
We drive the foe; his lusts, his hates!
Last come, We will be last to stay
Till Right has had her browning day!
Replenish, comrades, from our veins
The blood the sword of despot drains,
And make our eager sacrifice
Part of the freely rendered price
You pay to lift humanity
You pay to make brothers free!
So, with what proud hearts We ad-
vance-to France!

To be that way, we must develop our
resources, conserve our products and
systematic our living. We must
know what we have behind us to
make our success possible. This is 4
day and a time for the taking of stock
by every individual in the country.
This is a time when no man can know
too much about himself and his per
sonal resources.
At this time, when our Mother coun-
try has just had a birthday, what
would be more appropriate, more fit
ting, than a birthday gift to her Of
our best cndeavor along this line Of
being personally fit for the job that
we have TO do. She a only succeed
through us, and we can only succeed
through her. The United States is
emblcmatic to the whole world Of
equal rights and liberty Of life. And
who will place the democracy Of life
in the hands of all peoples, then we
must do it in her name. 70 do this
we must individually be in condition
for the contest. To be that way We
must use every method, every way,
to bring about that desired end. One
great way is open to every man, be
he great or be he small, and that is
through the conservation Of every item
that goes to make up life. Herbert
Hoover has sounded "a solgan, Save
the Waste and VIII the War" Yes,
save the waste and not only the waste
IN food stuffs, but the waste in every
other item OF life. In time, in effect, in
speech, in pleasures, in necessities,
and in fact in everything. Germany
teaches us a great lesson in the fact
that it was by just these methods that
she has beer enabled to keep going
for three years in the face OF such
great odds.
Let us give to the Mother country
as her birthday gift our individual eff
forts. our combined efforts, and our
utmost strength in doing all those
things that will save every bit of
waste in our individual and national
life. Let us "Save the Waste and Win
the War; not only for the sake of
democracy, but for the sake Of our
selves in making us better citizens
and better individuals.

do YOU realize the relation between
the individual and society? What
right have you to take advantage Of
the demand for coal? Where's the
moral sense of the man who would
make such a demand at such a time?
Nov those are stern words but
they come from stern facts. We are
up against a situation that is real.
We want boats. We have to have
iron. We have to have coal to melt
the iron. And you people have TO
furnish the coal. What's the word
that is going out? Is it hat the
American business man has lost his
vision? No; eve l say that you
will do the wisest thing, the sensible
thing, the thing you will be proud of
20 years from now. The best thing
for YOU to do, the American thing to
do. is for you TO put into the
hands of one man or of a small group
of men the fixing of prices Of coal
and let the word go out that the
American coal operator is as much
a patriot as any man, rather than
compel the Government 10 use n
strong hand. Say to the Government,
The coal mines of the country are
at your service. Let US deal with the
people of the United States and we
will prove that we can be fair"

This county, along with eleven 9TH
or counties extending across the
state, now have an opportunity before
them to do something for themselves,
as well as for the state. The new
| Highway Commission takes office the
first of this month and by them the
state highways will be chosen and the
state and federal road aid apportlon'
ed. 1t will be useless to expect that
more than two east and west roads
will be selected. and with the north
trail, known as the Yellowstone Trail,
in good shape and a popular contender
for selection, it behooves these coun-
ties through which the Black and yell
low Trail passes to get busy right
away.
These two trails are the only two
that have a continuous road clear
across the state, east n west, ana
are naturally the ones that should be
chosen. But other trails that JOIN
from the southeast and go part way
into the state are also after the Off
cial designation. The b. & Y. is the
direct and shortest line from Chicago
to the Yellowstone Park, being less
by over a hundred miles than any
other route. 1t has a splendid coun-
try through which to pass, it has no
great engineering problems to sur
mount, it has no awful grades to mar
the pleasure of the drive. But all
these natural advantages will get US
nowhere unless the state commission
is convinced of the fact and have it
shown to them. Every county of the
twelve must do the utmost in having
the trail in such condition that it will
appeal to the commissioners and con
vince them of the truth Of our claims.
Bookings county is taking steps to
do her part. Every land owner and
auto driver in the county must do his
part to help. Those along the direct
line Of the trail are the most benefited.
but even those a little remote receiv-
ed good from its being here. The trail
must not be damaged. On h east,
through Minnesota, it has a splendid
roadbed. We must continue that ex-
cellency on to the west. We have no
great problems to face, no great ex-
pense to pay. 1t is just a case of get
ting together and doing the necessary
things that must be done, n in do
ing them we'll and permanently. NO
subterfuge. no makeshift, will answer
the p Bookings county must
have this highway and she must do
her part in making it a safe, pleasant
and convenient route between Chi
cago and the northwest. The B. &
Y. Trail Association for Bookings
county has been organized, commit
tees appointed and they are working
on the project. They need your help,
you need the highway, when they
come to you do all you can to help
them carry out the plans for the coun-
ty. Doing this will benefit the state
the county and yourself.

Why the Annual Chautauqua?

Relaxation of the mind from the cares of business and public affairs
is as important as the recreation of the body. While war is uppermost in
all our minds, and rightfuHy so, it is well, however, to have occasional op
portuniy of relief from the strain. one resnul field o which the burdened
may turn in these times OF stress and national peril, is the Chautauqua.
It's atmosphere has always been noted for its rejuvenating and revivifyng
qualities.
To the persons and families of limited means and having cares not easily
set aside so as to take an extended outing at some popular resort, a Chau
tauqua offers a week of wholesome recreation at a nominal cost. 1t may
not be a change of scene but it will be a change o Interest.
Then comes the question of cost An adult ticket at $500 will bring
the cost down TO Is cents an entertainment. Provided a person ca only
attend the evening numbers and in the afternoon on Sunday an adult sea
or ticket will save the purchaser $155. Every year many people express
ed themselves as having made a mistake by not buying season tickets for
the reason that they could have saved money by it even if they had at
tended but half the time.
Those who have looked ove the program say that it is as we'll bal
anced a program as has yer been presented in Brookngs. There are
sol extra numbers not mentioned in the booklets. On the second day
II the evening will be an illustrated lecture by Lieut. Leo Nichols. He was
a member of the Honorable Artillery Company of London and spent six
months sin the trenches untlh he severely wounded and sent to the hos
pml. 1t vas necessary to amputate his right rm and the story he has to
tell is n of thrilling interest. 1t brings right home to u the atmosphere
Oft he trenches and he tells it in a most unique way. He tells little things
about trench life which can be known and told only by those who have had
the experience.
The Sunday program has been changed so that the numbers will be
appropriate to the day. In the afternoon the Ladies' Orchestra will give
an appropriate prelude after which there will be a lecture sermon by Rev.
+. NJ. Warren. In the evening there will be a sacred concert.
Gov. II. a Buchtel who is to lecture on America and the Great War"
and for a time resided in Bulgaria, is conversant with the Balkan situation
and will speak authoratively on the subject
