What'II the Answer Be?

BY Richard H. EdmOnds Editor of Manufacturers Record
America is made up of 1OOOOOOOO units of individual
and It has been well said thar God does not
know America is America except as he knows you and
me and every individual who in the aggregate comprise
America
You American to the extent of your individuality
Your responsibility in this world crisis is exactly the same
as that of America as a whole.
America must put forth every of its strength to
ITSELF but America will fail do this to the extent
that any single individual fails to do his or her full duty
Viewed from this angle, are you truly American or
you merely hanger-on, shouting perhaps with the
crowd but doing no real effective service in this the
greatest crisis since mans creation?
Go deep down into your soul before you make answer
to yourself to your country and to your God to these
questions:
What Am personally doing to uphold the government
to equip and sustain soldiers and to tighten their bur
dens?
What sacrifice making to match the sacrifice of the
soldiers who give up home and endure untold hardshps
and offer their lives to protect me?
What doing to increase the output of the things
needed for to sustain the nation its stupendous
task?
Am seeking personal gain of higher wages or shorter
hours, larger profits merely for my individual sell
fish interests?
Am consecratng every ounce of my strength, every
power of my being toward arousng the nation toward
quickening latent patriotism into living fame toward
increasing food production essenng food consumption
and waste toward the building of Ships the increased
output of steel and iron and coal and chemicals and
chnery the expansion and at the time the
ton Of transportation facilities by rail- water of high
way?
Am l adjusting my family expenses by cutting out
every unnecessary thing that the money thus saved may
be dedicated to the nations through Liberty Bonds
Red Cross Y. M. C. Aswork or religious activities?
Am merely casual looker-on and unthinl1ng beast,
with realization of my individual responsibility to God
and man, consecrating all that is in me- all my
powers of mind and body this great task the most
mentous to which mankind has ever been called?
Am | shirker Stacker, physical mental of fnan-
cial coward am l a or woman into whom God
has really breathed the breath of life in its largest and d
vnest sense?

The lola Register thinks that the spectators who grab
bed the potato crop last fall and held for $3.50 bushe
getting "wha is coming to them" when the price
of potatoes has dropped to 60 cents buhe down there
They may be getting of what is coming to them but
what really is coming is control that these
necessities of the people cannot be grabbed and held
exorbitant prices The government has undertaken to
control the price of wheat 1t can never make complete
success of food control without going clear down along
the line Anything else gross injustice to the
1t assists the spectators.

LUKE MeLUKE SAYS.

The reason why a princess will lis
ten respectfully when she is with
nineteen-year-old cigarette cremator
is because she never lets her father
get word in edgeways, because
father does not know what he is talk
ing about.
Nature is a pretty decent old cuss,
after all. She has fixed it SO that wo-
men get their noses red when they
cry, and that is the only reason why
they do not bawl more than they do.
When a man has no truth in him it
makes him mad to find that his child
rem lie once in a while.
A girl hates to have her fellow call
on her in the evening when he needs
shave because it gives her red
cheeks to sit beside him on the lounge
in the front room.
A man can get up and fix his own
breakfast if he has to. But if he ever
does it once his wife is going to hear
about it every day for the next three
years.
Another good bet is that the in
side of the family Bible does not show
the marks of use as much as the cover
does.
A man has better memory than
girl. A girl has to learn how to swim
all over again every summer.
A lot of men never combine bust
ness and pleasure, because they can
see no good reason for spelling the
pleasure.
1t doesn't hurt to tell the truth
once in while. Men say that women
talk too much, because they do not
like the other sex to interfere in one
of mans favorite pastimes.
A girl will marry man she has
known twenty weeks. Then she will
spend twenty years wondering why.
The spring canteloupe will soon be
on the market, and it night be we'll to
send the chisel out and have an edge
put on it.

Resolution by Alderman Hanson
Be 1t Resolved by the Common Coun-
Gil of the City of Wauwatosa that the
City Clerk be and hereby is ordered
and directed to advertise for bids for
furnishing a bond for the City Treas
urer.
On motion of Alderman Krafczyk,
the rules we're suspended and the fore
going resolution was adopted.
The City Attorney reported that the
Railroad Commission met April 4th.
5th, 8th, 9Th, 10th, 18th. during which
time they took up the matter of street
car fares and service, in which the
City Of Wauwatosa is interested. 1t
appeared that Mr.. Ross w. Harris, ex.
pert statistician. had created consider
able surprise by his testimony which
demonstrated conclusively that in
stead of a return of from per cent
to loss of .03 per cent, that during
the past three yeaxs at least, the com
panies had earned better than Z per
cent on their suburban traffic, and had
convinced the Railroad Commission
and the street railway companies that
their method of apportioning the ex-
pense of operation was entirely wrong.
There being no further business, and
on motion of Alderman Krafczyk, the
Council adjourned.
