Hard Buying Makes Easv
Selling

Quality in merchandise is tangible fact to those
who know and those who really compare The great
est encouragement we have in our merchandizino
methods is that Idaho county buyers seek quality II
is the only way for wherever unreasonably low prices
given by skmping quality, the of the merch
andise must certainly be at loss in the end. Tho
quality of the A. F. Company merchandise has such
well known high standard of genuineness that en-
phasizng the fact is unnecessary.

My Dear Friends

My Dear Friends:-
The winning of the war is
not the only task before America,
1t is a question whether it is the
biggest task. A member of
President Wilson's cabinet has
given a vital message to the
churches in the following: Call
upon the churches to keep high
and strong the morale of the
people who are not fighting.
This is our task, and if we sue
coed in doing it we will have con
tributed much toward the sue.
cess of our armies. We may
lose more than we gain by win
ming the war if we neglect the
moral and spiritual interests of
the people at home. Our armies
are lighting to make the world
safe for democracy" but the,
task of the church is to make
democracy safe for the world"
Both are necessary to the peace
and happiness Of the world, and
the success of either depends
upon the success of the other.
What can | do, what can you
do to help? We can begin b.
filling the empty pews; fill one
yourself, and bring your friend
to fill another. The preacher
finds an inspiration in a full
house that nothing else can give.
It's inspiring to those in the
congregation as we'll. Will you
not help fill the house Sunday
morning? Make some sacrifice
and come! Help make society
safe for our boys when they have
finished their task, and come
marching in"

TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit 1t, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
he war on the part Of q great many
people In various parts Of the country.
The reason for this Is even deeper than
institutional pacifism or pro-Ger-
tnanism based upon explainable blood
Or mental association. The fact Is,
although We did not realize 1t until
recently, the average citizen Of this
country has not had instilled in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea In America and
the ultra-political nature of our form
Of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance Of the appre-
eatOn by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition is
Possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
OF Winning the war. 1t involves a COM
plete feadjustment and revitalizing Of
our methods Of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools Of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
md the advantage Of collegiate In
s1uGion in political economy, and
sFen the influence Of the discussion of
fhese matters in high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. 1t
must be remembered, however, that

WHAT The VICTORY OR
Defeat OF GERMANY
MEANS TO EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by ALBERT PAyH0N
TERHUNE, author and globe-rrsster,
TO the National Security Leagues
campaign of Patriotism Through Edu-
catienl
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-sae set
back of humanity, democracy, ciyiliza-
ton, rights of man, etc. But, to Amer
lea, it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; and, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for yictories-a rec Jrd as
old as our nation-a record that means
more than the rigla to drag. Even as
a beaten army never wholly regains its
old form-even as beaten ring cham
pion sinks at once into desuetude-so
our nation (its traditions of victory
gomez would suffer far worse deteriora-
ton than the mere fact Of defeat could
infiict.
1t would mean that the man who has
rlsked all in his country's struggle for
Right could never again feel his former
calm certainty that Right must tri-
umph. Thus, the moral tone of the in
dividual, as we'll as of the nation,
would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked In
war of conquest. From 1775 to the
present we have fought for Liberty or
for Union or for the Oppressed-ever
for some sterling principle of right.
From childhood we have been taught
to believe that the high unseltisfness
of our war aims has given us the VIC
tory. We have seen the decay or de-
struction of men and nations that have
battled for dominion-as Germany Is
now, battling. Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to its pres
emit estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice Is q
iundredfold justified.
