THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.

1t is only by visions that we live.
A nation, an individual, with a great
mirage of a higher destiny, is still
born.
America cannot live by prosper
ity alone. 1t must believe in a su-
premely great future: and must be
prepared to die, if need be, for that
ideal.
What does this war mean to Amer
lea? Only billiards and Grandgrinds
ask that question. The answer is not
in our pockets nor In our lives-it
lies in the future. 1t is a Vision.
Conjure up the spirits of Washing
ton, Lafayette, Tom Paine and Lin
coin, and they will tell you why we
r fighting. They fought for a vi
siOn-sOmething not seen with the
eyes nor felt Of the hand.
Ask the spirits Of Joan of Arc
Bruno and John Brown why they died
in flames and on the gibbet. They
will answer, Because we had a vi
siOn!"
America today fights for the Vision
that is her soul-her birth-soul-Ul-
innate Democracy and the Freedom OF
a Planet.-Life.

PROUD OF AMERICANISM.

A man in Dubuque the other day
stood upon the witness stand and re-
nounced his American citizenship.
81 don't want to be an American cit
izen; l resign my citizenship" he
shouted.
A small loss.
This man never had any citizen
ship.
He admitted that he had been edu-
Gated in Germany and returned to
America when through college. He
held a pastorate for a while but lat
err resigned because of a quarrel with
his congregation.
His activities have not been dan
gerous-rather pernicious and aggra-
waiting.
Now he will be taken care of.
We are glad that this man renounc-
ed what little Americanism he had.
Not much to be sure.
He had never caught the spirit of
Democracy. The lessons taught in
our public school system never reach
ed him.
The cup of freedom never reached
his lips because his eyes were blind
and his soul closed.
But there is another side.
The side of a nan proud of his Am
ericanism.
This should be YOU.
You realize the greatness Of this
great democracy.
You understand the silent bond of
patriotic fellowship between your
self and your estimable neighbors.
You are the people.
You are one of that great multi
tude proud Of that simple title-"A
Citizen of the United States of Amer
lea"
Let this sink in.
Were you crowned king of the
world you could never achieve a tit
lie half so fine.
Be proud of your democracy. Be
proud of your fellowship in the best
of all lands. Last of all
Be proud to be just a private in our
great army of citizens.
How wonderful it is!

A NATIONAL DRIVE
TO HELP u. S. MEN.
Continued from page H.

CONTINUED from page ID
ents of Wisconsin boys will welcome
this good news. They will feel that
their boys are surrounded by whole
some associations and will have some
substitute for cheerful home influence
es. Games and music and piles of
papers and magazines are provided in
each Salvation Army hut. If the boys
are hungry they can often find a nice
pie or doughnut or homemade candy
to eat. These dainties are cooked or
prepared in the little kitchens with
which each hut is equipped. Thus
much of the cherries atmosphere of
the battlefield is d~issipated and for
gotten and the inconsistencies and Ion
Illness is displaced by the good fellow
ship and cheerful intermingling with
these inimitable women and men from
over home. It is to the undying cred
it of the American soldier that these
women are held in the highest re-
spect by every nan in the army and
it is of great credit to the high char
acter of the workers that in all the
four years of unifying with millions
of warning men not a breath Of scan
dial has ever been spoken to COM
promise any of the hundreds who
daily devote their time and lives to
the relief of every form of ~privation
and hardship incident to army life.
When these brave, loyal people come
to the American public for support
of their work in far off France, they
can be sure of the finest support that
goes with American gratitude.

OLD PIONEER DAYS,

Rob Stoffel relates that the house
he live in northeast of town was
built about sixty years G by the pi-
oneer, j. w. Morrison, who owned the
farm. The house is good yet. Mr..
Morrison had to carry his rifle to the
spring to guard against Indian Jul
prise. Another old landmark is or
the Ed Mclean farm west of town
where an old log house still stands.
This old structure was hauled from
Galena about seventy years ago and
put up near where Eds house now
stands. Old landmarks are plentiful
in Grant county.

WILL BUILD
SULPHURIC ACID PLANTS.

The United States government has
let plans for the erection of two sui
phuric acid plants to be erected in
this field. One plant will be built at
the National Rooster near Cuba City,
to take care of the product from the
Vinegar Hill Zinc mines, and the
other will be erected at the Skinner
Rooster at New, Diggings for the ores
from the Wisconsin Zinc Company
mines. This action on the part Of the
government places added confidence
in the life of the district. The plants
which the government will erect are
expensive and are being built only
after long and due consideration of
the advantages of locating here.
The plants will produce suIphuric
acid, from the sulphur, which is not
a valuable product as it now exists.
In the acid form, it is of great use to
the government in the manufacture of
munitions.
The plants to be built are of large
capacity, and it will mean that the
mine owners will wish to increase
their daily productions of ore to keep
these factories going to capacity.
This will mean opening new ground,
all of which means more men and
bigger plants and more men means
an added interest in the district and
an advantage to everybody.
Contracts are let for these plants
and work on them is to be started
very soon.

HOW PERSHING GOT
TO WEST POINT.

A story of deep determination and
bulldog grit is Gen. John J. Pershing's
life, avs William Heyliger, in the
July Boys Life.
Pershing was born poor. His faith
er, a section foreman at Laclede, Mo.
lived in a one-story cabin, and right
from the start the boy had to stand
on his own feet. He was not brilliant
but he was a hard worker. AS he
grew up he was ambitious to be a
lawyer, but it cost money to study law
and he had no money.
Many boys would have quit right
there. Pershing was made Of stern
er stuff. In a Missouri ewspap he
read OF a competitive examination for
an appointment to West Point. Many
OF the rich boys of the district were
after that appointment. The outlook
was not encouraging, but Pershing
was used to fighting for what he
wanted. With that bulldog grit of
his he faced his lessons, grapp1ed
them, held them, mastered them.
When the examination papers were
graded, P%ershing, the section fore
mans son, was first by a single point.
He had correctly answered one
question on which all others had fail
ed.

SOMETHING DONE-DO MORE.

Our canning factory will pay well
this season.
This brings to mind that a feasible
industry does we'll in any town.
Our farmers have shown that they
car grow peas and corn for canning.
Our factory management have
shown that they can operate in a bus
mess way.
Now then
We can develop other industries
along the same lines.
Lancaster does not want wildcat
industries.
We cannot hope to manufacture
where the raw materials must be
shipped in. We have no coal. Our
shipping facilities are none too good.
We can manufacture where the
raw product is a home affair.
Our region is highly suited to dair-
ying.
We have the first essential-the
COWS.
We have the productive milk.
We have an immense amount of
feed right at the canning factory
stored in the big silos.
Let us build a condensery.
Let us do it ourselves-not let some
promoter come in and float the scheme
taking down a big profit because we
have no collective enterprise.
Our canning factory is employing
fifty to n hundred people during
the summer. 1t is bringing thous-
ands of dollars into this community.
1t is an asset.
Let us create other assets.

GERMANICA.

With the hour of reckoning slowly
but surely approaching the war mad
German press and the Prussian junk
ers are still raving about a "strong
peace" They still pirate of enormous
indemnities and immense loot while
the organized democracies have sign
ed their death warrant and with grim
determination are tightening the coils
that will destroy them forever. Oc-
c%asionally too we hear Of a peace
with honor but democracy says that
the military assassins have shown
themselves to be devoid of honor. Au-
tocracy's sins Justify the bandits re-
ward. "a rope for a thief and a MUIR
derer."

THE e SECRET.

Two big things loom before the
writer's mind as of utmost import
ance. They are so important IN fact
that from a patriotic standpoint they
dwarf every other consideration in
life. These two, convictions we shall
call them, have not come to us hap
hazardly or because we wanted to be-
lieve. They are the result of pains
taking observation covering a wide
slice Of territory in these United
States and among all walks and clas-
ses OF life. In consequence we ask
to speak as one in authority because
the ideas expressed are absolutely
sincere.
The first is that, Glory Be, this
country is positively upon a war bas-
is. By this we do not mean in a me-
chanical sort of way. We mean in a
moral or spiritual way. No matter
where you go one hears the sincere
ly expressed determination to see it
through" to the bitter end. This idea
is prepared to go to the last man and
the last crust of bread. Do you re-
alize, my friend, what that means?
1t means that one hundred million
freemen have set their shoulders to
one task. 1t means-think it over
and grasp it's possibilities.
The second is an absolute convic-
ton that the end will be right. This
could not have come without the
foregoing. In other words as Ameri-
ca stood a year or so ago, without a
united purpose, with Stacking, back
biting, with mild interest, she could
only lose.
But now we cannot lose.
How soon, you say? Well one mil
lion men are across. One million
more are trained, equipped, ready.
Three hundred thousand a month will
move across until by January first an
American army Of three million will
stand upon French soil. The Ger
mans have already learned how those
boys can fight.
We may look for two great offens-
ives this year. The first, we believe,
will be a German offensive. 1t will
not succeed. The second will be an
allied offensive. This will come when
General FOch thinks it can be made
with the maximum Of result and the
minimum of loss. 1t contains great
possibilities.
The Great Secret? Bend closer,
Friend-America will stand triumph
ant in the end. We believe this
absolutely-This is greatest of all.

policy of force will dominate the
world.
Italy, France and Great Britain have
a combined population of lis, 900 900.
They are much smaller in area than
the Mittel-Europa empire would be,
are detached from each other and
confined within narrow limits on the
south and west of. Europe. Neces-
sarily they would become second
class powers.
The United States, practically
alone, would be left to face the ag-
gression of a power with about twice
the population, directed by %autocrat-
ic rulers toward further conquest.
The only way to make ourselves
safe is to win the war.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-07-17
LET US NOT KID OURSELVES.

The best indication that the Am
erican government looks forward to
a long war is to be gathered from the
preparations now under way. The
war may end tomorrow; it may last
ten years. In either event our gov
eminent is proceeding on the latter
basis while being ready at any time
to cease firing" should our objective
be achieved. The conduct of each cit
izen should be exactly upon the same
basis.

GERMANY'S AIMS ACHIEVED.

1t is aptly pointed out hat Ger
many's desire toward Mittel- Europa
has largely been gratiied. Indeed it
may be said that her success exceeds
her fondest dreams.
Look at your map. Consider it
carefully. Germany stands possessed
of all she hoped to gain when she
forced this war. She has reduced her
allies to military and economic de-
pendence. She dominates Belgium,
Northern France, Poland, Russia, Ser
bia, Montenegro and Roumania. More
Than zoo, 000, 1000 people are under the
dictation Of Prussia.
If the war ends with conditions as
they are at present GermaEy's brutal

WHY WE FIGHT,

President Wilson's independence
Day address:
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise. No half way de-
cision would be t%olerable. These are

pies of the world are fighting and
which must be conceded them before
Ehere can be peace"
