Prosperity Needed for War
Aniot lea's success in the war depends
on the continuation of her business
prosperity.
We havo the void of no less nfjauth
orlty thuti Uowiird E. Colli u, of the
Council of Nutlouul Defense, for tills
statement. He says
"Unemployment aud closed factories,
brought about through fitful mid ill
advised campaigns fur public aud pri
vate economy, will prove u veritable
foundation of quicksand forthesoiious
work we have at hand. We need pros
perity iu war time even mure than
when wo are at pe-iee. Uuaiues de
pressions uio always biid, but doubly
so when we have a light on our hands.
"The declaration of war uau have
no leal evil effect on business. What
uai directs are apparent uie purely
psychologic aud latgely of our own
foolishness. We need more business
not less. There Is real danger iu hys
teria. Indiscriminate economy will be
ruinous. We must have suc
cessful industries If successful tux
.evles are to be raised."
Every true American is anxious to
"do hit bit" for his country. There is
no way in which those who cannot
participate iu actual warfare cau do
more than to keep right on doing busi
ness as usual
It Is proposed "to pay our way as we
go," iustead of saddling our children
with boud issues of large amounts.
The only way wo can do this is to
Weep motley circulating. Money hid
den away Iu safety deposit vaults Is
useless. When it is in motion It is do
ing the utmost good.
Keep right on doing as you are now
T.ie only danger we face Is the danger
of our own cowardice.
Iiuy what you need, as you need it.
Be thrifty, as the president has coun
seled but do not be miserly. Lend
your support lu the usual way to those
industries which must moot the ex
penses of the war through taxation.
"Do your bit" by being .cool-bended,
unafraid, and helping to keep business
normal. It's the biggest single uecess
Ity to a successful warfare.

Tho ingratitude of the boys and
young men has been noted on many
ocensions, but particularly ou last
Saturday aftornoou when the Baud
which hnd been scheducled to furnish
the music for the patriotio meeting in
our city showed a total of thirteen
members present out of a class of about
thirty. Where were tho other 17?
These boys were ready and willing to
receive a musical educntlou at the ex
pense of the merchants nnd citizens
who contribute each month to tho sup
port of this organization nnd are will
ing to nccopt the services of their band
muster, Prof. Leltoy, who has been at
all times found at his place of duty at
the specified time, and who has many
times gono u little further than his
duty demanded in order to acoomodute
binno of tho members, still nt a time
when their presmicu is desired they are
absent. Even though these boys did
not soe fit to attend the regular open
air concerts we should think, out of
gratitude for what they have received
gratis aud a sense of patriotism they
would have offered their services on an
occasion such as last Saturday. We
do not think thafnuy of their employ
ers are small enough calibre to refuse
them nn hour off duty to take part In
the program. We trust that when
thoy are again requested to take part
In n musical program that every mem
bor will bo. esnt.
Holds Court on Sunday
On Satuiday evening Sheriff Hulfer
took Into custody Curl McCruckcn, n
minor, who was Intoxicated. Sunday
he was brought beroie the County
Jude, and upon Informing the oillcers
where he hnd secured the liquor the
Judge remitted his line, compelling hl-i
to pny only the court costs, amounting
to ?7. Ernest Wiggins was the person
who furnished tho liquor. He was
brought before the Judge and assessed
S107, the amount of the fine plus court
costs. Judging fiom the way the boys
are beiuir lined up in court and scpnr
ated from their cash, It seems as though
our city and county oillolals Intend to
compell our citizens to observo the
liquor laws
