POTATOES HAVE WARTS

The potato wart has appeared in
Pennsylvania. The potato wart, un-

is heir, is extremely dangerous and
frequently grows until it becomes as
large as the potato itself. Uncle

this disease. The town gardener
and the big farmer should be on the

stricken world is begging us to fur

to rehabilitate themselves, now is the
time for all America to take those
steps to entrench herself as the

Vast sums of money must be had

The government needs the money
to maintain the big remnant of the

And the plan to raise this money
is to get it from the savings of the

This is mighty poor time for an
American to stop being good Am
erican.
We went into the world war with
rush when we did go, for we knew
that we had lot Of time to make
up. From the minute Congress pass
ed the war declaration until the Ger
mans at the armistice whlmpered out
their surrender, this country was
working at the war business and that
was just about all the job it had.
Americans "went the route" as the
saying goes. Our soldiers fought
as hard as they knew how, and that
was good enough to make the Prus-
sian Guards quit like ours at Sc
dan. The creature who once was
the proud proud Kaiser of all the
Germans took it upon himself to scoff
at the quick trained American army.
That was twice he had made q mis-
take. Once before early in the war
he had sneered at a. Contemplate
little army" Of Englishmen, but they
stopped him at Ypres. And we
stopped him at Belleau Wood and
we broke him in the Argonne.
When we got into the war the Am
erican navy reported in English wa
ters ready to go into action. They
made the high seas and the straits
too hot to hold U-boats. They help
ed keep the German High Seas Fleet
cooped up in the Kiel Canal till the
hearts Of the German sailors turned
to water. In the air we helped curb
the Hun hospital bomters and baby
killers. We got few hundred of
them and were just getting started
in that highly interesting game when
the Hun caved in.
When it came to raising money no
one else even approached us. We
set O record that will hold the adj
miration of the world for many
years. We poured millions into the
business of war. No nation in his
tory ever approached our record. If
it is ever broke we will have to break
it ourselves.
That is what we have dee. When
we got in we got in good. There was
nothing half hearted about it. We
were not counting the cost. We want
ed victory and we got it.
Germany was winning that war
till the Yanks got over. Europe has
admitted that and history will set it
down as true. The American sup
port turned the tide. We all remem-
Der Chateau Thierry. We viii al
ways remember it here in America
as we remember Lexington and the
Alamo.
We came into the game of saw
ing the civilization of the world and
we are to see it through of its fin
ish. Certainly we do not want to
fall down. We don't want to quit
and spoil the record that is ours.
Now that the enemy is whipped,
now that the might of America has
been established by the exertion of
force, not quite to the uttermost,
now that the entire world recognizes
