HOW FAR ARE
YOU FROM FRONT
-W.S.S.-

One of Pershing's men, returned
from France, was speaking:
"When l left for home," he said,
"the boys over there were feeling pret-
ty blue, because they thought that
you here in America were not backing
them up as you ought. We had a
bitter winter over there. The wealth
er was the coolest France has known
in years. Many of us were without
proper food and clothing Some were
even without shoes. None Of US were
complaining, though, but the feeling
that when we were doing so much for
you, you were not doing everything
in your power to back us up some
times bit in pretty hard.
eve felt like the little Irishman
felt in Y. M. C. A. hut one even
ing. A bunch of us had gathered there
to listen to speaker from America
During the course of his lecture he
said: - tkIUH UHt1
"'We in America are behind yor
boys to a man.
"Then my little Irish friend got up
YES he said, you're all behind US
all right, h of a ways behind
1000 miles," 4 4
Are you that far behind "the boys!

SHILLING WASTED
IS STAB IN BACK

In England they say, "Every shil-
ling wasted stabs a soldier in the
back"
If you actually knew that by buy
ing only those things you absolutely
needed and by putting your savings
into War Savings stamps you could
saAo livese, would you do it? Take
the word of the president that you do
save lives when you do this.
II is not enough to deplore what
the Gemans have done. That viii. not
hurt the Germans; they done care
.vliat you think of them. Help your
government to fight them. That is
the only timing that counts with a
German. When you save and buy
War Savings Stamps you attack a
German in the place where it hurts.
Everyone knows best how he can
reduce his expenses so that he may
have more savings with which to buy
War Savings Stamps.

One OF the greatest drawbacks the

where crops are mostly cotton and

Dairy products here bring good

OF course agricultural pursuits have
their drawbacks in any country. In
the south to milk COWS in a warm
barn is no snap either, and in the
north it is no snap in cold weather
either. Now, then, | think the
northern farmer is lucky. OF course
he has big job on his hands with the
stumps and brush, but he has good
chance all around. If the man has
the stuff in him he will make good
anywhere If he does not make good
up north, he had better stay away
from the south and get job in
some munition factory.
The contribution toward winning
the war by the little farmer is ust
as equal as the big farmer. What
one lacks in quantity the other
makes up in spirit. And remember
those are the powers that be.

A Red Cross Fourth.

The Nation approaches another
birthday. The Fourth of July in
1918 will be the most glorious
day of celebration the United
States of America has ever
known. 1t will mark the end OF
year of great decisions, of a
great patriotic awakening, OF
Countrywide response to the
call of Liberty, a year Of achieve
ment unparalleled in the historyof
world, year in which American
ideals have been spread through
out the civilized world. The
whole country marches with the
Flag.
A single thought controls the
nations activities =" Fight to
Victorvl" The President has
called the nation to servlce-to
apply it's force without stint or
limit. He has given noble ex-
preston to it's aims; the Ameri-
can people are unit behind
him.
The American army, rapidly grow
ing in numbers and power, has met
the foe upon foreign soil, and lighting
side by side with the gallant armies
of the free peoples of the world, has
sealed the doom of the powers OF
darkness. The American navy scouts
the sea and drives to cover or destroys
the pirate boats of the enemy. The
American Red Cross, Y. M. c. A. and
Knights of Columbus perform with
characteristic sacrifice their deeds OF
mercy in many lands. The Stars
and Stripes are the symbol OF hope to
hundreds of millions throughout the
world.
Villas county's Fourth will be held
at the county capital and Will
consist of band concert, patriotic
speech by noted orator, and drive
for embership to the American Ked
Cross. This Fourth is for the benefit
of the fighting boys and every patrl-.
otto Villas county man, woman and
child are expected to lend their mem
bership fee. 1t is your bounden
