When the present conflict burst
upon the world, humanity-dem-
oeratie humanity-was asleep. 1t
was a sleep that had lasted since
Washington and his ragamuffin
army had first made the world
safe for democracy. His work
had been done, and well-done,
and Americans had for more than
a century been living under the
delusion that was nothing more
to do In the cause of human free
dom
From the establishment of this
republic, orators and writers have
never tired of ringing the changes
on the glorious privileges of
American citizenship. They are
instilled into us from the kinder
garten to the college. They are
the daily pabulum upon which our
Anericanism is nOurished.
The world eataclysm found us
making a fetish of our rights
and privileges. We were ex-
tremely jealous of them, and re-
scented any infringement of them
with the fiereeness of a broOdin2
hen. We were proud of them, /
and Haunted them in the face of
our less fortunate neighbOrs
across the water.
But ole thing we had forgotten,
namely, that someone had paid
a price for these priceless bless
ings of liberty; somebody had |
purchased them, and we were not
that somebody of somebodies.
They had been purchased by
blood, but as we had not shed
that blood, we never fully APP
preciated the value of the pur-
chase.
And we are only just beginning
to grasp the fact that our re,-
dictionary sires, when they had
marched through blood to the ,
goal of their inspiration, be-
gueathed to us, their descendants, !
not only the glorious blessing Of I
liberty, but by the side of it and i
hand in hand with it, the duty of /
preserving it in its purity as re t
ceived. That duty has never been a
lifted from our shoulders, and G
never will be, unless we shall so a
'ar fall short as to cease to value q
the fruits of the sacrifices so =
sheerfully made by those old i
heroes of the long ago. G
This duty is looming larger and Il

The school board has not yet selected teachers to fill these vacancies.
 Stafford did unusually we'll in sub- seribing for the Liberty Loan, and the large amount of work put in by the local committee showed results The total amount as reported by the First National bank was about S2OO, @ OOO, Wilmington subscribing $75, 900 of this amount. The number of sub- soribers through the National bank was 39s and 705 through the Stafford Savings bank, making a total of l 1O3 individual subscribers. There were subscriptions from Stafford sent out of town and the state amounting to several thousands of dollars for which Stafford receives no credit.
 Two high school boys on Monday night took W. H. Webster's auto from near St. Edwards hall for a joy ride. They did not return the car until Mir. Webstsr's daughter dis covered it was gone, and the young ladies were very much frightened over it's absence, one of them being in 8 serious condition for a short time. Almost anyone can make some allow. anoes for pranks of young boys, but it seems that they ought to realize that there is limit to what they can do and get away with. Certainly personal property and also personal health ought to be taken into consideration when excitement is wanted. A young fellow does not have to be selfish and entirely thoughtless in hIs fun. It is hoped that nothing of this kind ever happens in this community again. The affair was settled out of court.

DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR DUTY.

The Red Cross campaign in Stafford will begin it's house to house canvas Thursday morning and continue through Monday If anyone is in- advertently overlooked and has not been given the privilege of subscribing or wishes to increase his or her contribution please notify the chair man or one of her committee. Exc ourive committee, Mrs. Leonard Baker, chairman, Mrs. O. B. Pinney, Mrs. G. P. Bard, Miss Margaret Cooley, Miss Alberta Eaton. The captains of the team work are Miss Isadore Dun ham, Miss Lucy Matthews, Miss Mary Hanley, Mrs. H. Pownall, Mrs. c. Meyers, Mrs. R Ellis, Mrs. F. San' ford. The captains will choose their own teams. The Holland county apportionment is $15, 1000. We hope to raise $2,OOO, 25 per cent. of the amount raised to be retained to be used in local Red Cross work for the purchase of materials for the manu- fracture of supplies for the army and navy. Subscribers of one dollar and over are entitled to annual member ship in the Red Cross and pins will be provided. Everyone is urged to GO operate with this nationwide movement. The Red Cross drive is teing conducted all over the United States this week in an effort to raise a fund of $1OO, O,OOO,OOO. This is a large sum, but the need is great. The Red Cross is the official agency for the administration of relief to the wounded soldiers in France and is doing grand work and soon America will probably have vast army on the field of battle. Only a small proportion of our population of this country will go on the fighting line, and the many who cannot go must do their part to help alleviate the suffer. ing of those men and boys who are fighting for us, and also help prepare to meet the future suffering of our soldiers who are going to the front to. meet the most brutal enemy an army ever faced. Do your best. It is not only your duty to give the Red Cross all the help it needs, but you should give willingly.
