AMERICAS GIFT TO
CITIZENS OF EUROPE
Many Soldiers Marrying in Europe
Likely to Remain there Per-
manently

When America entered this war it
was apparent to all that many thous-
ands of our finest young manhood
would inevitably be slain on the bat
tlefields of Europe. 1t was also I'M
derstood that large numbers of our
men would, in all probability, be cap
tured by the armies of the Central
Powers. American relatives, friends
and sweethearts fully realized these
grave dangers when they babe their
soldier boys goodbye; and, as they
now read with anguish the names of
their loved ones in the ever-lengthen-
ing casualty lists, they console them
selves, in a measure, at least, with the
thought that their boys have heroic
ly helped to pay the cost of saving
the world from irreparable disaster.
They did not realize, however, when
they said farewell to their loved ones,
that in addition to the huge losses
from battle and disease America
would be called upon to make an even
larger sacrifice of her young men, due
fundamentally to the wars terrible de-
pletion of Europe's manhood but brot
about directly by the fact that French
girls are practically the only female
acquaintance and companions of the
millions of American soldiers during
their sojourn in France.
1t is hard enough for the American
relative, friend or sweetheart to bear
the thought of giving a loved one to
die, even for the success of a most
righteous cause, but it may be even
harder to become reconciled to the
thought of giving that one to live for
the happiness of charming French
girl, however necessary it may be. to
provide men for the rehabilitation of
France. Moreover, not only will rela-
tives, friends and sweethearts find this
unexpected sacrifice of thousands of
our young men hard to bear, but the
whole country will feel the loss. As
dearly as America loves France and
as deeply as we appreciate our great
and long standing debt of gratitude
for her assistance in gaining our in
we cannot but feel, at first
thought at least, that to give up a
single one of our. American boys to
become a citizen of France, or any
other country is an almost impossible
sacrifice. Yet, is it really too great?
Surely, when we consider the fact that
dear old bloodstained France had al
ready drenched her soil with the blood
of more men than we now have in
Europe before we placed single sol
dier there; that many thousands OF
French families have long since put
on the altar of world-liberty every
male member of their homes; and that
but for these sacrifices German kul-
tur might even now enguE Ia" whole
world, we cannot but feel that no price
that America can possibly pay, with
our treasure, our blood, or even with
our living vigorous, pulsating young
manhood. can ever cancel the deEt Of
gratitude we owe to France.

HIGHLAND WILL GO OVER
TOP In LOAN CAMPAIGN
Members of War Council are Confident
that Full Amount Will be

With those who have promised to
take out a bond this week and with
the amount already subscribed the war
council is sure that Richland will go
over the top and the full amount of
her quota of s1s,OOO.OO will be in be-
fore the Goth. There were large
number of subscribers to this loan,
$50 bonds being taken by the major
ity. Anyone who is known to have
refused to take bond is looked at
askance in this district and to say
the least of it their patriotism is GER
tainly questioned. 1t took drastic
measures in some instances but the
end justified the means and the central
committee as we'll as the thirty dis
trict committeeman deserve hearty
praise for their work.

''GET TO WORK" COUNCIL
OF DEFENSE SLOGAN

s"Get to work. will be one of
the slogans of the new Council
off Defense when it gets under
way. They expect to act under
the, compulsory labor law, which
allows the council to put all i'd
lers to work. This does not mean
that any one will be asked to
work for nothing, but it means
that the council has power to
list men for the work which
they can do and when called up
on they are required to respond,
and to get the regular wages
for such lsbor. The man who
is at work need have no fear
of the law, as it does not apply to
him, but the man who prefers
rest to labor will find it q prod
20 keep him going before the
end of the year.
The council will also ask i'm.
pliment men Of the state to drill
school boys in the. use Of modern
farm machinery, 80 that when
school is out these boys viii be
in shape to give practical service
on the farms Of the state, Al
large part Of the present day
work is mechanical, and the boy
who knows how to handle tht
farm machinery viii be worl
more than the man who does no
know.

JOIN A DROP BOMB CLUB

Have you heard of the new fad in
some of the cities and towns working
for the Liberty Loan Bonds? 1t is a
part of the Fourth Liberty loan cam
paign, and is spreading like wildfire.
All over the town Demolition Drop
Bomb clubs are being formed That
sounds destructive, and it is meant to
be. for the Huns Each club is limited
to nine members, and each member
buys one 800 bond of the fourth Lib
erty loan. This 5000. lent to Uncle
Sam, will buy 90 demolition drop
bombs, the terrible explosives which
our aviators drop on the trenches, bill
lets, railways, supply trains and other
military establishments of the Boches.
Every bomb that finds it mark is guar
anteed to blow to kingdom come
everything in the vicinity Moreover,
the club members, many of whom are
women. may rest assured. that not one
of the bombs they help to buy will
ever be dropped on Red Cross hos
pital, which is the habit of the gentle
Hun whose favorite mark is nurse or
helpless wounded soldier.
Since there are but nine members TO
a club. many citizens who desire and
are able to take more tina none bond
are joining several clubs. 1t is pro-
posed that some emblem of member
ship be adopted. This probably viii
be in the shape of miniature bomb to
be worn on the coat lapel
