ALL SHOULD HELP
IN GETTING RESULTS

The question of spruce pro-
duction by the Signal Corps for
aeroplane construction, is, as
everyone admits a big UNDER
taking. In fact quite a serious
problem, and in spruce carrying
localities should be the para
mount issue. Every citizen now
fully realizes the important and
urgent need for it and every pat
riotic citizen is willing and anx-
ious to aid in every way posi-
BILE, forgetting his own personal
desires and his own business.
The Leader wish s to be classed
with those citizens who are will
ling to work and sacrifice to the
fullest extent in this and all
other lines Of activities that will
help to win the war. 1t has
come most forcibly to us that
the time has arrived when the
call of duty should be needed,
and we should all put our should
er to the wheel.
Lincoln county has. within her
borders a very large AMOUNT of
the finest spruce for aeroplane
construstion. The efforts of the
Signal Corps for some months
past have not obtained the re-
suits we had hoped for, but with
in the past few days, we are
gratified to say, constructive in
formation has been and Is being
furnished by our citizens, which
if acted upon, and there is no
reason why it should not be, we
believe will aid in speeding up
production. If you have inform
alton that will aid the govern
ment in getting results, it is youl
duty as a citizen of this good
old U. S. A. to volunteer YOU
knowledge and assistance.
Don't be a Stacker.

WHEN PEACE COMES

Some day peac4 will come.
Thousands-millions of men
will suddenly be thrown back
again into civil life. Consider
the vastness Of the readjustment
that will be necessary. Look
back at the period of reconstruc-
ton after our own Civil War.
Prepare for this new period Of
reconstruction. The day of
reckoning is bound to come. Be
gin to save now. Thrift Is the
need of the present, the hope OF
the future.
Liberty Loan Bonds, War Saw
Iings, the safest securities in the
world, are a wise provision for
the day peace comes.
