WE MUST NOT LET OUR BOYS IN
THE TRENCHES DOWN

While all Americans are glorying
IN the splendid bravery and fighting
efficiency which our boys are display
ing In France, many are wondering
now 1t Is possible for few months
framing to transform all kinds and
glasses of young men, taken from the
peaceful aVocations of life, into real
soialers who adapt themselves to the
horrors of modern warfare with the
courage and steadiness of veterans.

When you have subjected your

clear to them.
If we are to satisfy the boys when
they come back, we have no time to

Why not put out living memorials to

service, so all are dependent for food
and munitions and financial support
upon the home folks and, if that sup
port weakens or collapses, not only
the guns, but every branch of our
fighting machine will have to go
back instead of forward. The lesson
that our lives and possessions and
services belong to the nation and not
to ourselves is hard one to learn,
but we must master it before we can
do our full part in winning the war
In mastering it we can draw in
spiration from the example of the
men at the front. If we find it hard
to make up our minds to sacrifice
some Of the pleasures and comforts
OF life in order to save money to loan
to the government; if we are reluc-

appetites in order to conserve food
| thought of the acts of courage and
heroic sacrifice which are being per-

men at the front every day, and

minute of every hour, will help to

Think, for instance, of the sublime
| self-sacrifice of the men of a British
battery which was being deluged
with gas shells. While the lombard
ment was at its height the infantry
which the battery was supporting
signaled for a barrage. There were
two men with each gun, the layer
and the fuse setter, who could not dc
their work efficiently while wearing

tore off their masks and filled the

of protecting the infantry might no
be interrupted. Afterwards, wheI
asked why they so unhesitatinglI

We did not go into this war to de,

wipe out the German system of mil
itarism. Yet some people are strenu-

upon which German militarism is
based. This is a case of straining at

Mineral County has a project
worthy of consideration by the re

the opinion Of many that the pro
ject is feasible one. 1t is here
by suggested that meeting of cit
liens be called to take up and dis
t'uss the matter jointly.
The reclamation board requires,
not an individual report, but the
view point of a representative and
nan political gathering.
Practically, only two questions
require answers, viz: The amount
of acreage irrigable and the soures
and feasibility of the water supply.
The writer has in mind two
worthy gentlemen whose cards are
out as candidates for office this
fall who are capable of furnishing
all the information needed in this
matter. And as it requires merely
