THREE WAYS FOR PROGRESS

The war may be over within a year
1t may last for several years. What
ever may be its duration. II seems
wise to give some thoughts to what
will Happen after che war is over.
Precedents prove nothing.
So this is our guess. That the en-
ergy generated by the prosecution of
the war will carry business forward
even after the declaration Of peace.
That the active business man will
find at least three great lines of work.
First, interior development Of our
country; road building, power plants.
inland water ways, and even railroad
improvement.
Second. the desire for travel will
finger in the minds of many thous-
ands of young men who heretofore
have been stay-at-homes. and there
will be plenty of young Americans
to push foreign trade for progressive
American houses. and, notwithstand-
ing competition there will be a great
development of our foreign business.
Third. the business man in politics
will be the result of the present-day
cooperation of business and govern
ment officials in all lines of service
with resultant benefits to both

AUDUBON SOLDIER BOYS
ARE VERY APPRECIATIVE

FIT. Casey and FIT. Flagley, Wash.
The SO Audubon county boys who
went to Washington wish to thank
the friends and folks back home who
contributed so literally to their
comfort while on the way.
The journey at best was most
tedious one, lasting from Thursday
morning until the following Monday
night, and the railroad accommoda-
tons from Omaha were very poor.
However, the Audubon county
boys were well provided fol- in the
way of food and other good things
such as apples. oranges, nuts, candy,
gum and cigars, all Oh which was
very much appreciated by the entire
bunch. None Of the quotas from
the other counties were nearly so
well provided for.
We wish to thank the donors of
the Comfort Funds Of Audubon coun-
ty for the Comfort Kits and Sweat
ers; the o. Z. S. of Audubon and
Extra for the lunch boxes, and the
Masonic lodges of Audubon and Ex-
ira for the banquet and entertain
ment by the Kimbailton band.
The boys also wish to extend their
thanks to the citizens of Brayton
and vicinity for the $4,000 mess
fund and the merchants of Audubon
and Extra for their contributions
and the Red Cross organization OF
Audubon county and the people OF
the entire community for their in
terest and well wishes.
We thank you.
Committee Audubon County

FORWARDS!

The new year is upon us. We can
scan the twelve months just past and
obtain an idea of what we may ex-
poet during the coming year. 1t will
be a season OF great requirements
and full Of demands for sacrifices
Just what each one will be- called
upon to do is not to be foreseen, but
1t Is safe now to predict that the
year will exact of everyone all Of
the services and sacrifices that he
can afford.
II you have not done for your
country your whole duty during the
past year. you may expect to be
asked to do so the next. You will
be called upon to do not only what
the authorities may ask, but to rem
der every possible service that is
within your power.

TINE is VALUABLE

Habit accustoms us to doing the
most of the everyday things in par
ticular ways. and we think Of them
only when they chance to be done
differently. We sometimes form the
habit of being late IN keening en-
gagements. and feel that the loss, IL
any, is our own affair. v Is also
the affair of the one we keep wait
ing. as he may consider his time of
much value. Only the idle and the
careless, whose time is Of the least
value. can afford to waste 1t by care
lessness in keeping engagements

THE PACIFIST

Speak gently to the pacifist,
And do not mind his drivel;
He's really very fond of war
Provided it is civil.
The pacifist is keen to fight,
To say he's not been idle,
He cannot get enough of strife
II it be fratracidal.
His right hand carries gentle peace
For foreign folks who xes US,
But with his left he loves to jab
His brothers solar plexus.
For liberty of every kind
A passion he discloses,
And dearly hates all tyranny
Save that which he imposes.
He loves to lash his fellow-cit,
And purge his soul of error,
He continues the rank and file
In every reign of terror.
