At the August primary the people
of Ohio county will be called upon
to vote on the road tax. The measure,
if it carries. will impose a tax of 20
cents on the hundred dollars worth
of property to be expended for road
purposes. For every dollar of road
tax the people vote upon themselves
the state will pay three dollars to the
road fund of the county. The people
are offered good roads IL they will
pay only 25 per cent of the cost of
building them. The proposition looks

Hartford friends of the Red Cross,

The spirit of the allies is now
firmly fixed that the war must be
fought to a complete overthrow of
the German power. Time and ex-
pense will not be considered in the
larger necessity of finally and for
ever destroying the German military
machine. The future tranquility of
mankind can be secured only by
crushing the military monster that is
drenching the world in blood. Left
with a germ of life 1t would rise up
again to threaten the peace of man
kind and the civil progress of the
world. German lust for conquest
must be destroyed.

When the victorious allies begin
to build anew the national fabrics of
the old world they should not forget
their duty to broken and bleeding
Russia. Russia under the rule of
the Bolsheviki mob may present lit
tie claims for sympathy, but it must
not be forgotten that Russia did
bleed and die in the great hour of the
allies need, and her army played an
important part in staying the hand of
the Hun until England, France and
Italy could prepare for the final con-
quest.

America must win this war. The
German military power to-day is
stronger than that of the allies. This
inequality must be overcome by the
addition of American strength. We
must send men and money in vast
numbers and quantities to the relief
of our allies. The condition is Sc
rious and calls for the best that is in
the hearts of our people. Every man,
woman and child should perform
some productive labor, luxuries
should be scorned and every possible
sacrifice should be made till we win
the war. To hesitate to sacrifice is
not only disloyal, it is a crime.
