The local w. r. c.. is to be COM
mended on the recent resolutions
unanimously passed protesting again
st the custom of compelling some
disloyal german sympathyzer to kiss
the Stars and Stripes. Ladies of the
Relief corps and kindred organiza-
tons throughout the land are taking
similar action. 1t is an insult and a
dissertation of the American flag to
even permit an unspeakable Hun to
touch the flag, much less kiss it. 1t
would be parallel case where one of
the detestable german beasts to in
suit an American woman to compel
him to kiss her to condone the often
Sc. No, if Old Glory is to be kept
clean and unsullied, the lips of any
traitor should never be permitted to
touch it. So the patriotic ladies of
the land are to be commended for
rising up in their wrath to protest
and demand that the practice be
stopped.

ated. Our brave boys are fighting
and dying on the bloody battle fields
across the sea. Thousands are being
sent acioss every day to take their
places in the trenches. German SUBJ
marines have invaded our coast and
the streets of New York are now
darkened at night for fear Of the
enemy air planes. These are the
darkest days the allied nations have
ever known in the entire history Of
the world. No one doubts for a
minute that the enemy will be humb-
led in the end; and no one now has
any misgivings in regard to the
mighty task that is before US. So it
is then, that there can be no place
now under the stars and stripes for
any nan or women who is not in full
sympathy with the soldier boys at
the front, and who is not willing to
back them with their money and
their all as far as necessity may re-
quire. Those at home are no less
soldiers than are the boys in the
trenches. Soldiers are conscripted
now, that the burden may fall equally
on all classes. The rich, the poor,
the high, the low, are on a level now
and fighting shoulder to shoulder for
their country. So those at home
must each do his share. Every
person must support his government
in any capacity he may be asked, and
to the limit of his resources if need
be. The poor washerwoman gives
her bit and takes pennies from her
childs bank, as did one woman in
Paw Paw to make the first payment.
There can be no exceptions. All
must give when asked by the govern
ment, and hold himself in readiness
to do his duty, whenever commanded,
no matter what that duty may be.
There is no middle ground now. One
is either for his country and loyal
to it, or he is giving aid and comfort
to the enemy.
So while the local events of the
past week are deplorable in a sense
and have caused many tears and
heart aches, they have demonstrated
most forcibly, that the citizenship of
this country has reached a point
where nothing but patriotic LOYALTY
for the stars and stripes, and un-
selfish sacrifice for the country and
the boys in Khaki at the front will be
tolerated.

1t has been quite a common thing
during the months since the United
States entered the world war to read
of the rough handling of some of the
alleged "Slackers" in various sections
of the country. Several times in our
own state of Michigan in recent
months, men accused of disloyalty to
the country or unpatriotic utterances
have been tarred and feathered and
subjected to other indignities by citi-
zens oe their community. Not until
the last week however, have any
harsh measures been meted out to
any citizen of Van Buren, county.
Las aturday morning one of the
prominent farmers and stock buyers
o. Lawrence was hung in ef1igy in
the public streets of that village be-
cause it is alleged he had declined to
contribute to the county War Fund
as literally as the committees in
charge thought he was able to con-
tribute and on Saturday evening the
buildings of a prominent fruit grow
er of Antwerp township were streak
ed with yellow because it is alleged
he had refused to subscribe any sum
whatever for any war purpose.
These affairs have been the sole sub
ject of local discussion during the
week.

Our boys at the front are acquit-

given an opportunity to face the
enemy. While the news from the
front the past week has been dark
and forboding, no one is disheart-

in every line of war activity, and
there is just one thought in the
minds of every patriotic loyal Amer

Even if the enemy should reach the

should push the allied armies back

enemy will eventually be crushed and

end every activity is now aimed and
every mind is focused.

One of the most important attri-
butes that contributes to success in
life, is promptness. This attribute
should not be neglected or forgotten
in the training of the youth in the
school and in the home, and teachers
should see that the forceful examples
are constantly set for the guidance
of the youth. If an entertainment is
scheduled for 500 o'clock, it should
begin at that hour. 1t is quite a
common thing to set the hour for the
Opening of an entertainment or
function with the thought always IA
mind that the opening will probably
be a half hour later than scheduled.
This is all wrong. The hour for the
opening of the school day at 900
o'clock means 900 o'clock and not
half past nine. So the hour set for
the opening of any event or enter
tainment should mean exactly that
hour and not half or three quarters
of an hour later. Promptness is one
of the key notes of success, and
should have a prominent place in the
of the boys and girls.
