mental leaders of the Allies are bearing fruit.
And what is of infinitely more Importance, the
American people as a whole are loud in their sup
port of the new policy which the secretary has
inaugurated.
Our leaders have the assurance that the man
power and wealth of the country are back of a
policy of action. They are tired of talking and
dawdling, and anxious to roll up their sleeves to
go to work.
Co-incident with the announcement of Amer
icas new zeal is the change of attitude in Ger
many toward our Intervention. Six months ago
the German war lords were laughing at us. To-
day they are realizing that Americas interven-
ton is the factor that will prevent them from
snatching victory from the Allies.
This is not said in a boastful spirit, for all of
US admit that our troops have not saved the day
by their great numbers but it is said as an in
dication of the added power which it gives to the
allied command in mobilizing reserves and bolst-
ering up weak spots in the line Our boys have
demonstrated their fighting ability. This is at
tested to by the commentators which they have
received from both British and French COM
manders. The thousands Of Americans who fol-
low the original expedition will not be behind in
their professors in valor and strength. AS they
go over in increasing numbers, the power Of the
Allies will swell, while the reserve power of Ger
many dwindles. Therein lies the significance of
our power.

If soldering is science, war garden

Out in our neighborhood a company

enough to pay the water bill. The
gardens are twenty to fifty feet in

planted what he thought were beans

went in for turnips and got potatoes.
A third decided to mix all the seeds

what he did get, for just as his de-
lightful mixture was ready to harvest
somebody came along and did his har-

Good government in democracy depends up
on the voters. It is within their sphere to keep
incompetents and undesirables off the ticket and
out of office. The forthcoming primary gives
Wayne county voters the privilege of selecting
the men that are to represent both parties in
the election.
The good citizen will 60 to the polls Tuesday.
He will cast his ballot for decent men. The I'M
principled man also will go to the polls. He will
vote for inefficient and undesirable men. If the
good citizens want good men on the tickets, they
must outvote the undesirable citizens.
If poor men are put on either ticket as re-
suit of the primary, the patriots of Wayne coun-
ty will have no one to blame but themselves.
They cannot accuse political bosses and factions.
The blame rests on them solely.

dates are. Vote for them
