But to it we wish to add this voice: MAKE LABOR FASHIONABLE! Put the two virtues side by side in double harness all over this coun- try during the days that are coming, and the United States will easily come into her own. : Seek -to disguise it as we may, our country, when this war began, was fast drifting toward a loafers’ paradise. Thousands of our young men have been reared in idleness, with not the faintest conception of Starting with sons of wealthy par- ents. 1t exténded downward in the scale of society, as class after class att"mplei.lv o imitate. those financial .above them, until not only was thei'g am¢ng’ all®lasses a physical aYersion to honest’ toil, but the very idety see&g\i to” tarry “with it a sense of inferiority and degradation. Aside 'from ‘the deplorable causes producing it, the present national camphigi}- of production is the salvation of our country in more ways than just that of providing food for the world. It will make useful citi- zens of boys who were fast becoming degenerates from the need of a serious object in life. It will give vital force to the academic teaching of the honor and dignity of labor. It will toughen muscles long unac- customed to exertion, and will transform weaklings into that which the Almighty intended they should be—MEN. Vital, forceful, red blooded MEN. § No great forward stride of auy people is ever accomplished without great sacrifice. When our revclutionary fathers conceived the vision of a great nation that should exemplify to the world the blessings of peace and liberty, they made great sacrifices, and made them willingly. Until the entrance into this war their descendants were in danger of losing sight of that grand vision through the curse of too great plenty of the creature comforts. s But we are awake at last. True, it took a world-wide calamity to arouse us; but onces aroused, we are going to take a different view of man and his mission. When we come into our own—which we will do when we have won the conflict before us—we will discover that the true glory of man lies in EFFORT and ACHIEVEMENT for their OWN sakes, rather than in the enjoyment of their fruits. Keep in mind th2 fact that the billicns cf dollars that will be loaned to car allies will be spent right here in this country in the purchase of supplies fer their armies and civilian population. This will mean in- creased acivity for every line of business from the factory to the farmer. It will also mean that the millions that have been hoarded up will be put into ecirculaticn and each person will be directly benefitted thereby. Men cf brains will see the significance of these facts, but the croaker, of course, will keep right on croaking until the devil gets him. We notice wlere the sea weed is being raked from the shores of the lake. iat wen't do any harm, either. That sea weed has a lot to an- swer for. But we believe we can tell a rotten head of cabbage from a watermelon, and we are not the only person who ‘can. To whom it may concern: If scmebody’s household canine pet with large feet doesn't keep off ye editorial garden there’s going to be another break in diplomatic relations somewhere, and we won’t stop to write notes. We are doing our best to be patriotic. % Now that we have a war with Germany let's eliminate that of the clothesline variety. A kind word across the back fence is better than a tilted nose any day. Experts have figured that for the first year the war will cost the United States about $17,000,000 a day. One hour of it would flatten us out. Two important things in this life you should do—buy a government bond and pay your subecription.

Pioneer Office ) | Everywhere under the sun— wherever roofs are laid — . Certain-teed stands for these two things: Efficiency Economy CERTAIN-TEED roofing is the most efficient and econ- omical type of roof for factories, office buildings, farm buildings, garages, ete., because the first cost is less than that of metal, wood shingles, or tar and gravel. This is particularly so now, because of the present high prices of some of the materials. CERTAIN-TEED costs less to > lay than any other kind of roof. It will not rust, is not affected by fumes, gases and acids, coal smoke, etc.; it is light weight and fire retardant. Every rain washes itclean; and it does not melt or run under the hot rays of the sun, nor can it clog gutters and down spouts. . Certain-teed Roofing . is the pest quality of prepared roofing. It poys to get the best. The only difference between the first cost of a good roof and a poor )ne is in the ma- terials—the labor, freight, etc., costs the same in both. As CERTAIN- TEED Roofing is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years according to thickness (1, 2 or 3 ply) it will be in splendid condition years after a poor quality roof has to be replaced. For residences, Slate Surfaced Asphalt Shingles have all the advantages of CERTAIN-TEED Roofing, plus artistic beauty; not bulky, and are uni- form in w=izht, quality and appearance. They need no paint, are pliable, eliminate waste and misfits, cannot curl, buckle, rot or crack. Guaranteed for ten years. Investigate CERTAIN-TEED before deciding on any type of roof.
