Dairy Exports Jump.

In 1914 the United States exported
100000 worth of dairy products.
During the past year S96,000,000 of
dairy food went across the sea. 1t is
estimated that the butter, cheese and
condensed milk exported in 1918 re-
CURED 100000 pounds of fluid
milk. OF course, large portion of
this huge total went to the American
soldiers abroad. However, the year
1919 will probably see the central
countries of Europe in the market for
dairy products and this will help keep
the export trade on a high level.

Finish As They Did

Time was when America was re-

wouldn't fight under any circum-
stances. As being willing always to
turn the other check. As pacifist to

But that is all changed now.

its most cherished decorations for
valor ON the field. Gives them the
first place of honor.
And makes Of Americas President

Americas fighting standard was
established for all time in that mem
orable advance in the St Mihicl sec.
tor. There they did in three DAYS
what they had been expected to ac.
complish in ten. Nonplussed the
Germans by charging machine gun
nests in the open, and shocked them
into the first realization that for them
the end was in sight
And wherever Americans took part
in the operations, on land. on sea or

Safeguarding
Democracy.

Now that we have made democracy
safe, folks, let's practice it.
Democracy first of all isn't simon
pure license to do just as one pleases.
1t isn't personal liberty increased to
the nth degree.
1t ism what the Bolsheviki seems
to think it is.
Democracy first and foremost
means Obligation.
1t means mutual effort for the gem
eral welfare. Its advocates, sup
porters, disciples, call them what you
may, must be soldiers of the common
good.
They must sacrifice some things,
put aside others, deny themselves
many indulgences, and work in be-
half of humanity as whole.
Individualism and democracy must
be divorced. They never trot in dou-
Bile harness. They can never be
made TO keep step.
Autocraey is built upon individual
ism.
Democracy upon mutual freedom,
mutual liberty, mutual sacrifice.
If we hope to make democracy a
world blessing we must live up to its
requirements. We must be brothers
TO the backward peoples as well as to
the most progressive, the most en-
lightened.
We must have the welfare Of the
world very close to heart.
And Uncle Sam has always stood
for that. America has been the asy-
