We are now. heginning torealize how far-reach- ing its effects are. - It is. not too much to affirnt” that the war man and. child in the country. - From-the loss of life itself the -sacrifice Tuns all'the way downthe.scale to a'slight deprivation of comfort or luxury. ; ! : But for every widespread disaster there.is usually a small modicum of good to place in the other side of the balance. It may not apparently make a“hair’s weight of difference against the ill, but it is there and perceptible if we-look for it. “What have we of good to set against the evils of war? Our answer would be, greater national unity. A year ago we were for the most part:a country of individuals, individual communities were not looking beyond their own improvements, states were caring for their own people. : Now all horizons are broadened. When a man.sees his son or his neighbor’s son going forth to war, his thought in- . voluntarily goes out to the environment of that boy, the con- . ditions he will ‘meet, and the government which provides or regulates them. He realizes that the government will have ‘to provide these boys with the simple mecessities, food, cloth- ing.and shelter. It will also have to provide them with train- ing, transportation,. weapons, artillery and aircraft for their protection, medical services and hospitals for their care, and & hundred other essentials. And the man also begins to realize that it is up to him in his individual capacity to stand back of -the government, to take his part in providing these absolutely necessary things in his own rightful proportion, either from his abundance or from his bare sufficiency. ; And we need only to see the banners of the Third Liberty Loéan in the windows of homes throughout the land to under- ‘stand how magnificently the individuals have risen to their duty and their opportunity. Everywhere in the homes of the rich and the homes of the poor alike the banners signal proudly:|] “I-have given as I can to the call of the nation. It is my nation i i and I am with it heart and soul in the hour of its need.” ~ 'We cannot estimate the aggregate sacrifices which this splendid showing has required. In many cases it meant the giving up of comforts, perhaps of cherished plans. But each man who has subscribed for his bond or bonds feels that he isj a-component part of his country, that hg stands or falls with it, and that it is a country worthy. of his sacrifice. He is in harmony. of feeling with his neighbor, his community, his state and. his nation. : —_0 . IS IT YOU? There is a man in this town who always acts as-a brake onthe wheels of progress. Every project that is broached for “the betterment of community conditions, elicits from him no more than a grunt of ‘'dissent, if not active opposition. He re- gards every.man as a rascal until proven honest. He can see no sincerity in the most unselfish actions, and can detect cu- pidity at'the bottom of the greatest sacrifices. He is a com-| munity wet blanket.. IS IT YOU? I There is also in this town a man the opposite of this one. He has a keen eye for any chance to forward the interests, of his community. Every proposition for community betterment,| provided it has merit and feasibility, not only has his approval, but he at once _pulls off his coat and becomes one of its’most active boosters. It takes a heavy jolt to convince him of the insincerity or dishonesty of his neighbors, and even then 'he has more pity than blame for them. He is as grateful as fire on a-raw day, and restores our confidence as the spring sun- shine after a dreary winter. IS IT YOU? ' 0 i Report has it that federal authorities have - removed from a safety deposit vault in New York $350,000 worth of precious . stones. It is said that they form part of the Russian crown j jewels and that they were placed in the vault by the wife of a man posing as an-American army lieutenant. It sounds like af] tale from the Arabian Nights and a Sherlock Holmes story]] rolled into -one. —0 .
