SEES THINGS IN THE RIGHT
LIGHT,

A Germantown American
named Jacob Gratis has written
| to the Auburn, Neb.. Republican
| in words that with few changes
could apply to Thousands Of 9TH
err Germans that have come to
America as poor boys, and who
have been welcomed heartily and
have earned comfort and even
wealth. Would that all of them
were like Mr.. Gratis in their per-
ception Of what is due their
adopted country for the benefits
showered upon them. Mr.. Gratis
writes:
"There were ten in our family
and we were poor. like most Of
our countrymen who came to the
good old United States Of America
to get away from oppression, and
it was hard matter to keep the
wolf from the door at times.
When O landed in this country l
secured work at once and re-
ceived more money for one month
work than | got in Germany for
one years work. / sent for my
folks, and l am proud that they
are all true American citizens
and will answer the presidents
call to arms against Germany or
any other country when needed.
l don't see how my countrymen
can. 60 back on Uncle Sam. They
came here without cent and
made money here; now some of
them want to fight the country
that feeds them. The kaiser nev-
err did anything for them or for
me. If he had we would be back |
there yet. All he did was to
start this cruel war and starve
all our people over there, and
make soldiers out of everybody |
and force them to work for his
dirty twelve cents a day, with q
fourth pound of meat and a loaf
If black bkead. / hope to see the
lay when he is kicked out Of
Germany and a president put in
his place. You don't see any
Americans going over for jobs, or

happy here, and don't owe alle-
glance to any king or kaiser. II
nope Uncle Sam will win. /

FLIERS AT THE FRONT ARE
BADLY HANDICAPPED.

Hardly a day passes but there
is some fresh illustration of the
inability on the part Of govern
ments to buy with money some
thing essential for war prepare
ton. We are now discovering
that there is not linen enough in
the world to cover the aeroplanes
that the allies are producing. The
English government has just de-
cided that at least 10000 acres Of
English soil must be devoted to
the production Of flax, instead Of
food. That government is max
ing terms with the farm ers, which
will lead to the planting Of that
crop.
The illustrations are endless Of
the fact that there are not labor
and materials enough to produce
the things that the people want
and the things that the govern
ment wants. There are two ways
of helping solve the problem. Que
is to speed up production and in
dustry. The other is to cut down
unnecessary consumption. By
the latter method every one can
put himself in an effective way
in a front trench. Every one can
make sacrifices that will be re-
fected in a quicker and better
equipment Of armies. The prog
ress that can be made by speed
ing up production can be exceeded
many fold by the effect which can
be produced by whole nation
making up it's mind really to help
win the war. The difficulties of
equipping the army would be cas-
lily cut in half if every individual
in this country would recognize
his responsibility in helping to
equip the army, his responsibility
to get on without demanding new
things he can get on without, and
by 80 doing leave greater
amount Of labor and material to
produce the things the govern
ment must have.
Every yard Of linen that is
bought from to-day on puts the
buyer in direct competition with
the feet Of aeroplanes which We
hope to put over the German lines.
That should be very plain to ev-
cry one when it is known that the
need Of linen for aeroplane pro-
duction exceeds the total stock
there is in the world. But the
same rule applies in almost every |
direction that we turn.

LET US BE THANKFUL.
Are you complaining of the

Are you complaining Of the
high cost Of livingY
Well, Abigail Adams COM
plained of the same thing. Per-
haps after you have read the fol
lowing prices quoted from her let
ter to her husband, the second
president of the United States,
you will count yourself lucky
however. to be living now instead
of in Abigail's time.
This was Abigail's price list in
1776:
Meat. 81 to 50 per h., corn, $25
per bushel, rye, $50 per bushel,
potatoes. $40 per bushel, molas-
ses, $12 per gallon, -four SIS per
cwt., cider $40 per barrel, cheese
81 per b., butterine SO per pound.
sugar SO per ID.
tn 1879 sugar rose to $4 per
pound and tea the same. In 1880
butter sold for $12 a pound and
tea for $40.
Such were the prices in revolu-
tionary times when we were only
trying to carry on a var and feed
ourselves at the same time.
Now, however. our task is great
er-for we must not only fight
and feed ourselves at tire same
time, but we must furnish most
of the food for the allies, if we
are to win this war.
Yet prices today are consii-
erably lower than those which
Abigail Adams pads in 1T !
IF the women in America hoard
food, however, or if they are
wasteful with it in their kitchens,
as surely as the sun rises in the
east, the cost of food will soar I'M
Gil we shall repeat revolutionary
prices.
Let us be thankful that as yet
this has not yet happened. and
that by economizing and avoid
ing waste, and by buying wisely,
no more and no less than what we
need at a time, we have it in our
power to keep the cost ct food
normally low.
Our happiness in this world
depends upon the affections we
are able to inspire. We need the
regard and love Of fellow beings,
the sunshine Of congenial CON-
partnership and the warm hand
clasp Of fellowship. These are
sought by all. Some make
friends easily and quickly, while
others can count their numbers
on the fingers of one hand. True
and lasting friendship will follow
kindly deeds. The man made the
beneficiary Of some kind act will
love the benefactor. Hense deeds
that seem to entail sacrifice are
often the source Of mucr genuine
happiness. Money spent in an
effort to benefit individuals less
fortunate than ourselves is well
spent and in almost every case
will yield interest that can not be
cnmputated by hte use Of figures.
The fruit of such deeds is kind
words, mothers blessings. faith
ers' appreciation, and boys and
girls admiration. Marksville En-
terprise. Il

WHAT YOUR BOY THINKS
OF THE RED CROSS.

Teh Red Cross Magazine for May
contains a remarkable tribute to the
women of the Red Cross which came,
entirely unsolicited, from a soldier
serving overseas with the American
forces. He says in his letter:
'If there ever was spur to honest
American manhood, it is to be found
in the work, sacrifice and loyal, cheer
full aid of the Red Cross women here
and at home Those here are under
going hardships many a man would
cringe form Tehy never complain,
but greet us cheerily with smiles and
kind words. They are both an inspira-
ton, source of help, and living
shame to us. From what would have
been living hell for us, now has be-
come a paradise. through their minis
tration and tireless efforts.

before midnight, New Years Eve,
a number of doctors and nurses
gathered in. the officers ward to help
us greet the New Year The first
toast was Victory and the major

pardon and asked us all to drink to
