FAILURE
Germany tried the experiment of
drafting dollars and stay-at-home
civilians. 1t helped her hold out a
little longer. In the long run, it
couldn't stave off defeat.
Now that the war has been over
nearly four years, 1t is dawning on
many minds that Germany wasn't
alone in losing the war. Every par
ticipant lost it, Nobody really won
it, for nobody's gain equaled the
counteracting losses. True of most
wars. Wise George Barnard Shaw
summed it all up in 1914, when. asked
who'd win the war, he answered

It is hoped that the committee
having in charge the expenditure
of the automobile fund, and the
working and keeping up of the
roads in the county, will all pos
sess the road spirit, as well as
have the interest of the tax pay
er at heart. What the public
would like to see is a dollars
worth Of road for every dollar
that may be expended. The fell
low nowadays who has to be
paid for any thing and every thing
he does, before he will offer any
aid to an enterprise, can with
profit be overlooked for the pres
ent, and get in touch with the
ones who want 10 help because it
means more to them and the
county in the long run. If the
various neighborhoods and COM
munities in the county can be
made to feel that they will be
given attention, and that no par
ticular locality is to be favored in
these road working plans, there
will be such a spirit of commun-
ity interest and cooperation
manifest that much and lasting
good will be accomplished. So
let this committee make some
rules for the work to be done.
Let it plat the county. and lay
out some roads, and work with
the district and county author
tiles to carry into effect the plans
laid. The people will catch the
spirit, and it will not be long I'M
til there will be work going on all
