SACRIFICES FOR WAR Ever increasing sacrifices must be made in order that the present world war may be won. Many of our allies are already making total sacrifices, not only of physical comforts but of their lives. Here in the United States we are being asked to use less of this and that in food and clothing which we have hitherto enjoyed. Many of us hesitate to give up many things not because we are not willing to aid the government, but for the rerjson we suspect that we will forego these comforth while prof iteers make money out of our sac rifices. There is evidence of this controversy raging all about us day by day. The farmers want higher prices for their products, labor wants higher wages and manufacturers want high priced for their articles; and all of them want the soldiers and sailors to fight and die for $30.00 per month that they may continue to “enjoy the blessings” of the war effort. The American people will make sacrifices of almost everything in order to win. The one sacrifice! which they could make to hasten victory is that of “Color Prejud ice”. If and when they slay this monster they will have gone a long way to win the battle against the 86 Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey Schenley Distillers Corp., NYC. HAVE TIME TO SERVE Keep Your Electric Appliances in Good Repair^Ready to Use! America's homemakers are answering the call. Hundreds of busy groups are hard at work—giving freely of the time and energy America needs today more than ever before. How do they do it, these legions of women? How does any women find time to keep her home going and still have extra hours to give her country? Automatic electric servants are a big part of the answer. Ready, willing and able, at the touch of a switch—they re on the job twenty-four hours a day, if needed—doing the big jobs in a fraction of the time they used to take. _ FOR FURTHER ^ INFORMATION SEE W** W YOUR ELECTRIC DEALER OR NEBRASKA POWER COMPANY BUY U.

SIR RICHARD CRIPPS COMES TO POWER Last week Sir Richard Cripps was made a member of the War cabinet of Great Britain in a post second only to that of Prime Min ister Churchill. Cripps, an aristo crat, turned “radical” was until recently ambassador to Russia where he won the confidence and respect of the Russian leaders and the Russian people. He insists that in order to win the war and afterward the peace, we must take Russia into fellowship. And this, notwithstanding the fact that our economic theories are at var iance, as, indeed they were at other times when there were other rulers of th lands of all the Rus sia’s. We congratulate the British people upon the elevation of Sir Richard Cripps to his present post. If and when Churchill leaves the post of Prime Minister, we hope Sir Richard succeeds him. THE NEGRO AND DOUGLAS COUNTY RELIEF ROLLS Director Voght of the Douglas County Assistance Office recent j iy made his report. He stated I that 22 percent of the persons on 1 his relief rolls were Negroes “be cause colored discrimination den ies them work”. And may we add that “enemy aliens” are employ-' ed even when the loyal Negro is denied that very employment. And thus we achieve National Unity, victory over the Axis and Demo cracy. Director Voght has started a “train of thought” for victory. CONTROL OF AGRICULTURE Leaders of the National Grange one of the largest of the Farm Or ganizations, insists that there is too much government control over agriculture and that unless it is relaxed, the liberty which we talK so much about winning in war will be lost to the farmers in peace. Verily, there are tremend ous times. HON. JOSEPH W.. MARTIN Hon. Joseph W. Martin, Minor ity Leader in the United States House of Representatives and Chairman of the Republican Na tional Committee, will address the Founders Day Banquet at Lincoln, Nebraska, Saturday night. His thesis, doubtless, will be National Unity as a necessity for winning the war. And whereas, he will maintain this view, he will also insist that neither the war nor the peace ca nbe won and our forn> of government perpetuated, unless we hold, defend and protect the TWO PARTY SYSTEM against anyone who shall assail it, for this i sthe final check and balance un der our theory of government vi [ tal to national ideals and life. Mr. Martin has one quality, found, too often, in small measure in public men, DEEP SINCER-t ITY AND INTELLECTUAL and MORAL HONESTY. Come again, Mr. Martin, we are always glad to have a statesman of your stature in our midst. GEORGE WASHINGTON Last Sunday marked the two hundred tenth anniversary of the birth of George Washington. Millions of pages have been written about this great man. The story of his heroic life has been told in every language in ev THOMAS FUNERAL HOME 2022 Lake St. WE. 2022 STRAICHTENS THE HAIR fOR 20 OATS OR MORS ST SOMCRING THE STIFTNEIS AT ANY DRUC STORE POPULAR FOR 27 YEARS I KONGO CHEMICAL CO..

I ntbe present conflict of arms and ideas we turn to Washington for inspiration and courage for in these respects above all others, he was supreme. With these two weapons he held his “ragged reb els” together and with them fought a war of liberation. He sought and accepted the aid of all men of all colors and creeds who believed in the cause of American freedom. Often, when his little army was discouraged, cold and hungry and almost naked; he stood by his i deals o fliberty and by the force of his personality and well nigh di vine faith, hel dhs men together for seven years and finally led them to victory. The army Washington command ed, known as the “continental ar my” consisted of 35,00 men, three thousand of whom were Negroes. With all units, French, German, and others, the total number of men engaged on the American side, ran as high as 250,000 men. After the war was over, Washing ton retired to his home at Mt. Vernon, Va., where he planned to spend the last days of his life in peace. But this was not to be. He was recalled from his retirement and became the first President of the young Republic. And after serving two terms in this office, he again went back to his beloved Mt. Vernon and passed the last days of his life. In his last will and testament, he freed his slaves. In the light of later opinion that seemed a small gesture, but at the time slavery was universal. And Washington/ hoped that his example would be followed by other slave holder^ and that this institution would gradually disappear. History justly accords Wash ington an exalted place among the great of earth. In his own coun try he is recorded as “First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of his Countrymen”. Unlike Lincoln, Washington was a man of great wealth, yet, in spite of this handicap in the cause which he espoused, he gave to it the unselfish devotion about which Lincoln spoke so eloquently in af ter years. I nthe midst of our tragic days, we may profit by Washington’s example. THE GREATNESS OF AMERICA BY RUTH TAYLOR What makes America great? It is notthe vastness of the country, nor the fruitfulness of its acres. It is not the hidden wealth of its natural resources, nor the size and variety of its manufact uring plants. It is not its deep harbors, nor its navigable rivers, nor the great arteries of its high ways. Whta makes America great is its latent power to turn all of those into production for the good of all the people from coast to coast. The greatness of America de pends upon you and me; upon each and every one of us, whether we live on a lonely farm or in the crowded city, whether we live on a tree shaded street in a quiet town, or under the shadow of the great sky scrapers of a bustling metropolis. As Lyman Abbott Once wrote: "A nation is made great, not by its fruitful acres, but by the men who cultivate them; not by its mines, but by the men who work in them; not by its railways, but by the men who build and run them. America was a great land when Columbus discovered it; A mericans have made of it a great nation." A country is not greater than its citizens. We are a UNITED stat es of America because the men of this country decided to put aside sectional and religious differences to work together for the good of the country as a whole. If we want to change our nation, wo have the power to do so, by chang ing the minds of the men and wo men who comprise the country. If we want to be prosperous, we can, for new wealth can be built only by men. If we want security, we can build it. If we want to erad icate all evil systems and handi caps, we can—for we created them America was made great by the men who built it. If it remain:, great, it will be the doing of you and of me and of all our fellow HOTEL OLG4 NEW YORK CITY 695 Lenox Avenue (Comer 145th Streel ) Select Family and Tourisv Hotel Running Hot and Cold Wall in Each Room All Rooms Outside Exposure —Service Subway and Surface Core a* Door; Rates Reasonable.

WHAT TYPE FOR WAR PRODUCTION? ; Pixpage—To Guide America’s “red” hog producers toward morg efficient production of “Pork for Defense.” the United Duroc Rec ord Association, largest of the swine records, staged a National Duroc Congress at Peoria, Illin ois. The Congress featured a Market Barrow, Breeding type and Carcass Demonstration with the purpose of standardizing Duroc type (as shown in the picture) to war production needs. Large del egations from all hog-raising stag es of the nation attended this edu cational event.

But there’s no joking about the fact that while tanks, planes, and ships are play ing their important roles in our military and naval defense, these efficient new tractors will be per forming a less glamorous but e qually important defense task on large and small farms the country over—doing their part in the task of bolstering America’s food front.
