maintenance Of the highways al
ready constructed; the construction
and completion Of those highways
which are vitality important because
Of their bearing upon the wat stu

modities; the poslponement Of all
highway construction relatively es-
sential or not based upon important
military or economic needs. The
department is preparing 10 suggest
to the state highway departments

TYPOGRAPHICAL

I wrote an optimistic verse
10 Keep my heart from signing;
The world had gone from bad To
worse,
And men were yainly dying
So thus | forced myself 10 sing
In face Of dire defeat:
Mans laughter is the wholesome
thing
That makes this sad world sweet
My message never reached mankind
That had such need to hear Il;
Men think | have a cynic mind
And ultra prussian spirit
And YET | tried my best To sing
The song that | repeat
MANS laughter is the wholesome
thing
That makes this sad world SWEET
o fate taat works from sun To sun
In bright or stormy weather.
Why should the printer man have
run
Those first two words together?
lie sci my lines Ia hold a sting
And make my thought a cheat

thing
That makes this sad world sweet

sELFIsHNEss Is DIsLoYALTY.

Any person, who seeks honor or
personal gain in connection with any
war activities is war profiteer, and
is guilty of the worst form of dis
loyalty. Every personal sacrifice is a
patriotic effort. It is the duty of every
honest citizen to do his best to bear
the Nations burden without COM
plant. This is no time for obstruc-
tionists. Those who have grievances
may complain, in order that better
progress may be made. The Stacker
and chronic kicker is always detri-
ment. While petitions of redress to
proper authorities will always COM
mand respect and investigation, let
us not forget that every one is asked
to do his share to win this war. There
is satisfaction in having done our
duty. There is honor enough for us
all, If we do that which is expected
of US. The patriot knows no self
preservation, the profiteer no self-sac-
rifice.

We have never known two injus.
tices to make anything right. The
Saturday News has prospered by be-
ing as just to the white man as it has
ever been to the Negro. We have
never gone off half-cocked upon any
proposition. Whenever we grope, we
are in search of the truth. We want
to be right and avoid as nearly as
possible being wrong. We are not
for the Negro right or wrong. We
want him to be right. We complain
because majority of white people
will always side with white man
when question arises between him
and one of our color; still certain col.
ored newspapers, without making any
Investigation whatsoever as to the
evidence, would have the entire Ne
gro race do identically what they con.
denim the white people for doing. Be
cause the white people do wrong Is
no reason why the Negroes should
do wrong. The best preparedness to
receive justice is to be just yourself

'TWO-MINUTE WAR TALKS


Don't spend Lot Of time thinking
what is going to become of the Ger

When we get through with them

we tell them.
The only thing for us to determine

victory is complete before we stop.

body liked, who belonged to no church

When he died his neighbors wanted
to know who would preach his funeral

willing to do the job.
Finally man was found who
agreed to say few words at the grave
rather than. have him buried without
