Presidents Message.

President Wilson's message in full
follows:
For two anxious years the Ameri-
can people have striven to fulfil the
task of saving our civilization. By
the exertion of unmeasured power they
have quickly won the victory without
which they would have remained in
the field until the last resource had
been exhausted. Bringing to the con-
test a strength of spirit made doubly
strong by the righteousness of their
cause, they devoted themselves I'M
swervingly to the prosecution of their
undertaking in the full knowledge that
no conquest lay in their path except
ing the conquest of right.
To-day as yet we stand only at the
threshold of happier times. To en-
ter we must fulfil to the utmost the
engagements we have made. The Vic
tory Liberty loan is the indispensable
means. Two years ago we pledged our
lives and fortunes to the cause for
which we have fought. Sixty thou
sand of our strongest sons have re-
deemed for us that pledge of blood. To
redeem in full faith the promise of
this sacrifice we now must give this
new evidence of our purpose.

eral moment is probably the incep.
ton of necessary spring activities
which is stimulating business in most
lines. Building and improvement op.
erations are reviving, too-slowly but
steadily and surely. These things,
together with a large scale of road
building and public works should
be adequate to absorb the slack OF
unemployment, and there is more
confidence as to the essential sta
bility of prices and wages and eco

States.
The general demand for lumber is
improving and mining is readjusting
itself to new conditions expeditiously
In this section interest centers in
the coming wheat crop, the prospects
for which. both in yield and in acre
age are thus far the best ever known.
This, with the price assured the
producer, promises a large income
and prosperity.
