tMr. White. editor. author and King Of
1ne war and all Of its many angles while
on an extended visit to the various battle
lines Of tho Allied armies)
Back Of the German lines every
ounce Of food is conserved, and dis
tributed with fairly equitable pre-
cision; every yard of cloth is num-
bered and is entered into the war
strength of the empire. Every penny.
weight Of German coal is handled
with scientific care. and the one end
and aim Of all this autocratic control
OF food and clothing and heat is tho
winning of the war. There is no other
purpose in the German mind. Every
German mark Is a German soldier;
every grain Of gold is doing its full
share to work out that indomitable
purpose.
Here In America we must realize
that the warSwill not be won on any
front, but in our own hearts. This is
clash Of civilizations. We must de-
velop in our hearts a democratic pur.
ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many. We, too, must make soldiers
OF our corn stalks, make defenders of
our wool and cotton and silk, make
every pound Of coal an American
pound, and we must make bullets Of
our pennies. If We fail to develop this
democratic purpose in the eye to eye,
knee to knee. hand to hand, struggle
on the front, which, after all, only
reflects the strength of our convic-
ton, then our civilization will go
down. To fail to support our soldiers
with ammunition, with food. with
clothing, with coal, will weaken them
for the great conflict at the great mo-
ment, and that weakening will come
from our hearts at home. 1t will
come II we are slow with our finan-
cial support Of the men. The Liberty
Loan furnishes US with the only way
We home-stayers can practically show
our purpose. Our patriotism will be
measured by our performance toward
the Liberty Loan. What we lend to
our country in this time Of need will
measure our love of the freedom our
fathers bought. 1t is at stake. The
autocratic purpose Of Germany. iron
willed and yet unbroken. aimed at
world conquest is threatening U.s..
What is freedom worth to you? 1t Is
worth what you lend to your govern
ment in this hour of its awful need.

not to increase the price Of sugar u

but to encourage the planting Of sugar

sugar shortage IN 1919.
The Importance Of increasing Colo
Eado's sugar beet production during
the coming year was emphasized b.

Those who receive the bonds are to
agree that they will cash them for tho
purpose of purchasing a basketball
sweater as soon as peace is declared.
In this way the government will have
the use Of both the money and the wool
during the period of the war, and the
players will be able to draw the inter-
est and will also be able to get much
better sweater for the price after the
war than now.
The interclass track meet will be
held Saturday, April 27. Various
kinds of contests will be held on this
occasion and thrift stamps will he
awarded as prizes.
Never before in the history of the
high school has the attendance held up
so well in the eighth and ninth months
of school. The average daily attend
ance for the eighth month was los az
compared with 90 for the same month
last year. The attendance last spring
fell to eighty for the ninth month Of
school, but it is hoped that it will keep
up much better this year as it has been
over hundred every day this week.
The total amount of thrift stamps
raised by the public schools of Glen
wood Springs is $2,769.45. In addition
to this, several hundred dollars have
been subscribed to the Liberty Loan.
