FOUR YEARS OLD

With this weeks issue the
American is entering upon it's
fifth year Of existence, being
Volume S, No. l. The publica-
ton Of the American was com
menced shortly after the great
war broke out in Europe, four
years ago, so it can truly be said
that this paper was born and
reared during exciting times
and history making days. How
ever. the first three years it was
not noticed so much in America
and business went along almost
in it's usual course. but the past
year has been more Of strenu-
Gus one. Profits in small estab-
lishments have been cut consid-
cradle and the newspapers are
surely no exception to this rule.
However. the American has en-
joyed a steadily increasing bust
ness and was this year selected
by the County Commissioners as
the official newspaper of Pine
County. We wish to take this
opportunity of thanking our
many customers for their liberal
patronage during the past year
and hope that we may merit a
continuance of same. 1t shall al
WAYS be our endeavor to give
good service and a paper which
is up to a certain standard at
all times. even under the pres
sing conditions.

Their sacrifice and heroism
should not. and will not. so far
as Minnesota is concerned, be
abrogated in the least by the cir.
cumstances that have necessi-
tated their absence from home
and loved ones. It will mean labor
and expense but it must not be
said that Minnesota in the least
has neglected to preserve for her
soldiers the important privilege
and expression as embodied in
their right to vote, if they want
to.
In this project the Safety Com
mission feels that it has the COM
mendation of every loyal citizen,
regardless of political prejudice
or affiliation.
The voting will be done by
mail and by enlarging the scope
Of the absent voters law. Votes
will be certified and registered
thru commanding officers of mil
itary units.

There have been indications that the
Germans intended making stand
