X TEST or ENDURANCE

Just now when men and women are to:ling to meet the obligations of war it would seem that no word should be sLoken that would encourage one to relax or to lose the least interest in striving for economy and efficiency. Heaven knows that every true Ameri- can is far from any hint or suggestion that would relax our diligence. But we cannot afford to forget the morrow. We must take thought for it. The war likely to come before the harvest. We must think of tomorrow, of sowing as we'll as reaping We must prepare for endurance and not be forced to re- linquish our determination for vic- tory.
 The contest is already on for en- durance That stage is reached when the enemy is desperately hoping to gain a favorable decision by sudden and brilliant dash our military leaders gre practically agreed. But they are also very hopeful if not confident that victory will come from endurance, fortified by increasing determ:nation and sacrifice of Americans.
 The man in the field, the factory, the store, the bank, and the woman in the home will be the measure of our military strength. Courage, fortitude Eo;o will u,;, prf until endurance wears out the enemy and overcomes his unsuitable lust for pow CT We must conserve our strength and every day increase in efficiency for the task that lies ahead.-Farm and Ranch.
