We have made the decision.
which we herewith submit to Prog
ress readers:
The soldier at the front won the
because he did the fighting.
The commanding officers won the
war-because they conceived the
plans which we're executed by the
soldiers and brought success.
American farmers won the war
because they made and furnished
the food for the army.
The sailors won the war-because
they alone were able to man the
shids that carried the soldiers, their
equipment and food across the
ocean.
The soldiers in the camps won the
war-because Germany knew that
If two million American soldiers in
Europe were not sufficient, the
more than two millions in the home
camps would soon be carried over
on the bridge Of ships"
All the balance Of the men be-
tween the ages Of Is to Al won the
war-because If the two millions in
Europe and the two more millions
in the home camps were not suffi-
cent, the TEN MILLIONS in reserve
would be.
Herbert Hoover won the war-be-
cause he induced the people to con-
serve the food. including the sugar,
to send to the soldiers who could
not have gone hungry and whipped
the Huns-and each and every
household and housewife. hotel,
restaurant and cafe contributed
their indispensable part toward
the victor;'.
The ship builders. present and
past won the war--because the
ocean cannot be crossed except in
ships and nobody but shipbuilders
can build ships.
The financiers won the war-be-
cause. while the people furnished
the money. the financers furnished
the brains to handle 1t and to con-
vey il to the men who turned it in
to the things indispensable for vic

Buyers Of Liberty Bonds won the

costume and spirit of the days that

with great power. During the early
part OF the day the city and county
united in a great homecoming cele-
Ihration in honor OF the returned SOL
Idiers This celebration ended with a
picnic dinner on the university
grounds.
Indications now are that the en-
rollment OF the summer school Will
exceed that OF previous years. A large
portion of the student body will en-
roll in the second term which begins
August 4th Courses for the profes-
sionai elementary certificates will be
offered as well as advanced courses for
high school teachers and college stu
dents.
The high school conference which
lis held every Tuesday at 4 80 is a very
interesting feature of the summer

now being made for the presentation
OF the pageant Shores of Happiness

Great interest is being manifested by
