The pupils Of the respective schools
of the county have already started pre-
liminary training to fit theselves for
the meet and June lst will be a much
anticipated date. Such events teach
better than volume of sermons the
value of high ideals OF living, regular
exercise, care in diet, poise, mental
control, perseverance, and the value
of sustained effort If the grammar

clean and tempeate living we would

The Congress has by an overwhelm-
ing majority passed the CONSUMPTION
bill, and now the construction of an
army will begin in earnest. This is
az if should be. The whole American
nation is in this war, and III 1t to win.
1t makes not one bit OF difference
whether our representatives are right
or wrong in the declaration OF war
We have, through them, declared that
a state of war between Germany and
the United States exists, and on that
foundation we must tuild our super
structure. We must defeat the Ger
man government, or the German gov
eminent will defeat us, and should we
he defeated. which we will be unless
we fight, and fight hard, it will be the
lot Of rs. and our children, and our
children's children, to pay and pay and
nav With monarches it is different
from decmcracies. 1t is case OF take
all that can be taken, for the aggran
dizement of the rulers. The people
do not count,
This fight, in which we are now en-
barking. is not the fight of the other
fellow. Each and every one OF Us
is interested in its success. and VI
tallv so. Our freedom and the free
dom of generations yet to come. de
pends upon the result OF this war
Every person in the United States Is
equally interested, and for selfish rea-
cons. if not for patriotic ones. and
must do his share in fighting the bat
ties. 1t is not all to be done by
marching heroically to victory
shooting and being shot at. This
branch OF the war business is hard
enough, but it has its compensations
The men who do the fighting have q
chance at the glory. and the worst that
can happen to them is TO die, which
thew will all do some time, war or nc
war. Those who stay at home, be
cause they are too old, or too young
or too fat. or too thin. must do their
share The share OF those who are
physically unfit for the long marches
and hard knocks will be. and is. to
nrovide the necessaries of lift for those
who are to do the fighting. We mus
all do our bit, for an army, no matte
how big. IS composed of individuals
and each individual must do his part
This part must be done intelligently
and to a purpose. 1t will not do for
each person to do his own thinking
and act accordingly. Team work

way to secure team work. 1t will b.
