WAKE UP. THE HUN
IS AT THE GATE
Full Text of the Remarkable
Appeal
Which Figured as Part of Town Meet
ing Day Program All Over the
State

The time has come for us to know
the facts, We must put the case in
stark and naked words. The millions
OF easy going, complacent Americans,
70 whom the war as yet has no real
meaning, who have not realized what
this war means, must be aroused.
They must be made to realize that
their lives, their liberty and happiness
are at stake, They must be given to
understand that whether this war is
won or lost depends upon their realiz-
alton OF their personal responsibility
and whether they are willing or not to
make the necessary sacrifices to save
themselves
Entered into by us in the interest of
free nation and for the benefit of free
peoples everywhere, the war has now
resolved itself into life and death
struggle for the safety of ourselves,
The situation is critical in the extreme,
and we should know it. 1t is time for
facing facts instead Of feeding on
illusions.
Forced into war by Germany who
violated our rights as ruthlesSly as
she did those of Belgium, we are
fghting war of self defense We
are today in peril We are fighting
10 defend our wives and children from
the defling hand OF the German. We
are fighting to protect our homes from
q beast who knows no mercy; we are
tighting to preserve the institutions
we love, the liberty we cherish the
freedom dear to us.
I'VE are fighting in France because
it is there we can strike the enemy,
but if we are defeated in France we
shall be conquered in America; no
longer shall we be freemen, but the
slaves of the most merciless and brutal
taskmaster the world has ever known,
Our peril is great and only our cour-
age and determination can avert it..
Il is not for glory, or honor or riches
that we fight but for liberty which no
good man loses, but with his life
We must not underestimate our
danger or overestimate our strength.
We should understand that we are no
nearer victory today than we were III
the first month of hostilities and that
Germany is today the victor; we must
yet it into our heads and hearts as a
fact, for such it is, that though with
the help of our allies we are finally
going to win this war at this very
rioment only the gr'..t White fleet i'll

AYRSHIRE CATTLE SALE
C.L. L.Jewett to Dispose of A Head Of
His Famous Herd

One of the few big Ayrshire herds in
Addison County is to be sold at auc-
ton next Wednesday at the farm of C..
L, Jewett in Weybridge, adjoining the
Government farm, and half a mile east
of Weybridge hill. Mr. Jewett took
over the Hamilton estate the first of
this year and in order that the estate
may be settled and the necessary funds
raised to put the farm into the best
possible shape, he has elected to dis
pose of the greater part of this famous
Ayrshire herd. Forty-four of the fifty
seven head of cattle now on the estate
will be sold, and these include 2S regis
tered Ayrshires, eight grade animals,
the remainder being junior calves.
Mr.. Jewett has listed~phe entire herd
in an attractive booklet which gives all
the detailed data OF each animal, milk
and butter-fat records made in the Ad-
olson County Cow Testing Assn. in 1916
and 1917. Since making known his
purpose to put this fine herd up at
auction, he has had a large number
of inquiries from men interested in the
Ayrshires in many places throughout
New England and with favorable wea-
ther it is expected there will be large
attendance at the sale.
In many respects the sale is an unus-
ual one for Addison County for it is
seldom that a cattle auction is so thor
oughly booked with individual records
of each animal so well presented as one
will find in Mr. Jewett's catalog. He
is furnishing these booklets free upon
request to anyone interested enough to
write postcard of inquiry.
County Agent IN. Bartlett has TAX
en- an interest in this sale and declares
it will be a great shame if Addison
County farmers do not do their best to
keep a majority Of these pure-blooded
Ayrshires in the county
