unusually heavy travel over the
southern highway from Spring

ing developments at the Wright
county town a concerted effort
will be made to have the roads
between the two points put in

the route also have shown a fav.
orable attitude towards the
Springfield Mansfield highway,
and their efforts will be put forth
towards making the road one Of
the best sections in the Ozarks.
The section of the southern high.
way between the two towns has
been used much in bringing new
automobiles from St. Louis. Els.
pecially is this so since the dec.

Mr.. FARMER, WAKE UPl

World War-Buy a Bond.

Too few farmers, far removed from
the war. realize the seriousness of our
present predicament. The very fact
that the farmer Is not Immediately In
touch with the war makes the danger
more imminent.
Russia is made up Of farming popu-
latlon, probably three.fourths Of which
knew very little Of what the war over
there meant. AS result the army
was not provisioned and money not
kept in circulation and the military
machine collapsed. Support our army

d When you and your neighbor have
bought your Liberty Bonds don't take
them home and hide them in the cup
board. Take them to your country
banker and have him give you certlfi-
Gates of deposit for the bonds. Your
banker can take these bonds to a Fed
eral Reserve bank and borrow money
for your use in case you suddenly find
yourself In need of funds.
Hiding bond in your stocking at
this time Is just as bad as boarding
money. Keep the bonds and the
money In circulation and the country
will pull through this crisis all right.

AMERICA, AWAKE.

1t is time for us of America to real
tze that, in the world war, two al
ternatiyes face us, and only two. The
one is victory. The other is defeat.
We had thought that Germany had
progressed with the other nations in
ethics, in morals, in spirit, in spirit
uaIity. But we were utterly, hope
lessly wrong The passing decades
that had brought to other nations a
loftier ideal, a higher purpose, have
left Germany convinced that might
is right; that decency is weakness;
that forbearance is cowardice. Ger
many still believes that the force
Of arms Cyer-rides the forces of
Christian Righteousness. She still
breaches that, if you covet your
neighbours OK, it is your right to take
it from him if you can; and, if he
object, to kill him in doing it.
Germany has always lusted, and
still lusts, for world dominion. She
wants to see but two classes of hui
man souls on this green footstool of
God; and those classes Germans, and
slaves
And so it must come about that,
if Germ any be not beaten, then it
will come to pass that she will have
her way; if not in one year, in ten;
if not in ten, in fifty; if not in fifty,
in hundred. Some day she will
have her way.
1t is not yet sixty years that Abra-
ham Lincoln said that the nation
could not exist half free and half
slave
1t is now for us, who love his mem
DRY, who worship his fine. rugged
manhood, to cry out; This world
may not exist half civilized and half
German"
We are fighting for our freedom;
for our liberty; for this great coun-
try hat is ours. These things were
not lightly won for us They must
not, they SHALL not, be lightly lost.
1t is victory or defeat that we face.
A stalemate, patched-up truce,
would, and could, settle nothing. 1t
is not nations, but ideas, that now
face each other on the blood
drenched fields of Europe, And
there can be no compromise. Right
fights wrong good fights evil; the
right of the individual to his own
soul and his own body fights against
the brazen and bloody edieyality
that one man may draw from all the
others their blood to the last drop
and their agony to the last pang.
1t is time for us of America to real
lie these things and, moreover, to
know that he who, until the victory
be won, talks peace, talks treason;
