the same patriotic fervor to carry on
the war.
is it change or was the feeling
always there waiting for the neces-
sity to show itself? Probably both,
but there is now question OF the error
of Germany's estimate. The adapt
ability of Americans, both as indi-
Vldnals and as nation, is counted
one of the greatest factors in vim
ming the war, but the fighting spirit
that made this country free and then
madeit great has never been lost for
q moment. 1t has shown itself in
turning the prairie and the forest in
TO homes as we'll as on the battlefield. !.
Now it is showing itself in our young
worriors and the men and women of
an older generation who are eager to
sacrifice when the call comes.
1t is a stupendous sum that this
government needs to carry on this
war of wars and the people stand
ready to aid to the limit of their re-
sources. Business may come first
but the country's business comes
first of all business.
Does anyone ever think of the third
or any other Liberty loan falling
DOWN Not for minute. 1t will
take organization That was expect
ed. 1t will take great deal of hard
work, but there are enough willing
to give of their time as we'll as their

The fact that the Liberty bonds are
the best of all investments does not
in the least lessen the patriotism Of
loaning, 1t is the lighting spirit, and
the realization that all those about
us have the fighting spirit, that
makes this country enter into the

unquestioned assurance Of it's sue

TIE SOLDIER AND
THE BOND PURCHASER

1t is sacred duty of every citizen
and it should be regarded as q glor-
ious privilege by every patriot to up
hold the governments credit with
the same kind of self. sacrifice and
nobility OF soul that their gallant
sons exhibit when they die for us on
the battlelelds of Europe"
Secretary McAdoo has issued no
stronger call upon the American peo-
pie to support the Liberty loan. The
third loan will soon be opened. Be-
hind every American soldier in
France, back Of every American
sailor on the seas, there should be
worker and a bond buyer at home.
There is the braver part, but we who
remain at home can be no less useful
if we exhibit that self-sacrifice that
they demonstrate in risking their
lives.
III the American people possess and
pat into effective force the same faith
in Americanism that the Germans
show for their kultur, the struggle
between Germa kultur and American
civilization will be a short one and
America 3 victory overwhelming.
We may be little slow, may have
much inertia to overcome. but Amer
lean might, like the mills Of the gods,
may grind slowly but will grind ex-

FACTS CURE FOR
ALL DISTEMPERS"

A letter Of greeting from President
association of Indiana, at it's recent
meeting in Indianapolis, contained
these pertinent sentences:
"The editors of the country have
great responsibility at present, the
responsibility of holding the atten-
tion of the country steady to the truth.
Extraordinary efforts are being made,
| am afraid, to mislead the people
with regard to the actual facts of the
war administration, and there is q
peculiarly strong effort being made
to take the direction of the war out
Of the hands of the constitutional
authorities.
The best way to meet such efforts
and to neutraliZe unfair opposition
is to bring the actual truth constant
ly to the attention of the people. The
things that are wrong must and will
be corrected, but the things that are
right must and will be maintained,
and the cure for all distempers is in
every instance the real facts. These
shall always be rejoiced to have the
people of the country know, and I
am sure can count on the loyal edi-
tors of the country everywhere and
OF whatever party to put upon these
facts the true and just Interpretation.

and dignity is now imposed upon the
United States and l. for one, have

power Of our people to rise to the

RED CROSS WORK
Patriotic Spirit Shown and Keen

In various papers of the State, we
frequently read articles regarding
the activity of different places in be-
half of the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.,
and extolling the patriotism of the
particular town, but to date no men,
ton in that respect has been made
regarding the little town of Beo-
wave, Eureka County. hence we feel
it high time we made ourselves
heard:
The people of Beowawe-C ortez VIE
cinity are thoroughly patriotic and

vices in behalf of out Country when
lever needed.
The boys of this section who have
responded to our Country's call are
of Nevada's best-strong and hearty
lads, able and willing to undergo any
hardship for the honor of our native
land. Some of them are already in
France and some are still to go; but
wherever they are they may know
that the good wishes of friends and
relatives at home are always with
them; and that we are glad that
they belong to US for wherever duty
may call them. we know they will
gladly respond.
We are a small community, but
we have given of the best we have
and will strive to add our little bit
regularly towards making the hard
ships of our boys and their associates
as easy as possible.
We have no Red Cross Chapter but
we have men and women of the true
blue" kind who are willing monthly
contributors to the Red Cross fund.
The amount is not very large but it
is being forwarded steadily and we
hope to gradually increase the total
each month.
In addition to the above we intend
to hold special Red Cross benefits
from time to time. Our initial en-
deavor having been made on the
evening of the End instant when a
little social dance was given by the
community.
All of US were there and besides
enjoying a most delightful time and
having many fine things to eat which
had been donated by willing friends
of the cause, we were very much
gratifed to find our total net receipts
to be $4,000 which amount will be
forwarded to the Red Cross Chapter
at Reno where our monthly contri-
buttons are being forwarded.
