AMERICA WON'T FORGET
Precedent Wilson Says Wounds of Our
Boys Are hobiest Badges.
,erica will not forget.

America will not forget"
This was the concluding sentence in
q message which President Wilson
sent to the fighting men in Debarka-
ton Hospital No. at New York just
before he sailed on the George Wash
ington to take part in the closing ses-
sion Of the Peace Conference at Paris.
How shall we prove that America
will not forget? Whether the Presi-
dent had in mind the Victory Loan 10
a question which doesn't matter The
fact remains that this loan is the first
test offered. and those who subscribe
to it--and this must mean every one
Will prove that our memories are not
short. our patriotism is still aggres-
sive. not passive, and that we shall do
our full duty In clinching the victory
won by men whose wounds, said the
President. ARE the noblest badges
ever worn"
The text OF the short note written
by President Wilson to Right About,
the official publication of DEGRADATION
Hospital No. l., follows:
Il could tell you" he wrote. what
the sacrifices you have made have
meant to the world. j. could tell you
what history for all time to come will
say Of you and the sufferings you have
experienced on your great crusade.
But these things other men will tell
you
Il prefer to remind you that the
wounds you bear are the noblest
badges OF honor any man has ever
worn: that they exaIt you to su-
preme place in the minds and hearts
of your countrymen and Of all the
world I prefer to assure you that
America realixes that she has no more
solemn obligations, no more patriotic
duty than to express in practical
terms the gratitude that every Ameri.
can, man. woman and child, feels for
every one Of you.

Good Roads An Absolute
Necessity.

AS will be seen from the notice in
The Vidette an election will be held
in the first supervisors road district
on the 3rd day Of May for the pur-
pose of deciding whether the dis
trict shall issue additional bonds
for the construction and maintain
ance of one or more highways in
said good road district. The senti-
ment for good roads in this county
is giowing rapidly and we will
never make the progress we should
until we have good roads. They
are absolutely vital to the advance
ment Of county along almost
every line. We cannot advance
religiously, intellectually or COM
mercially without them and the
sooner we realize this the better TO,
US. Vote for the bond issue and
let's put our county among the best
of the state instead of at the bot
tom. The Vidette has been advo-
eating good roads for years and we
expect to see our hopes realized in
the near future.

Every worker participating tn the

for his services. The medal will be
made from captured German cannon.

what the Distinguished Service Cross
was to the worker in the trenches for
the harder and more dangerous serv-
ice. 1t is intended as an appreciation
OF the service to the thousands OF
American citizens who realize that the
war has been won, but who also are
conscious OF the fact that the troops
have not been brought back home. and
who are anxious to work to the end
OF perfecting rehabilitation and re-
adjustment OF industrial conditions.
Purchasers OF the Victory Loan will
not be presented with medals because
the intrinsic value OF the notes will
be worth par, but to those who devote
their energies to interesting the peo-
pie In any of the government activities
toward purchases. The possibility of
securing one Of the medals, which will
be the official recognition by the gov
eminent Of the work performed,
should act as stimulus to men and
women In working for the Victory
Loan. The only restriction, and that
really Is no restriction. is that the
medals will 60 only to those who are

Consequently. when residents OF the

want to engage in.
None OF the medals have been re-
