By W. C. Edgar, Editor The Bellman Out of the welter of this great war with all its vast sacri- fices, its enormous losses of life and treasure, its desolation and its heroic achievements, there is slowly coming forth a new spirit of human endeavor with new objects of human attain- ment. i X Nations long in darkness see the light and are blindly struggling toward it; in their efforts to reach it some. of them are grotesquely floundering in elementary pitfalls, yet still they go forward ; others, less unaccustomed to the exercise of liberty, are finding their way by more reasonable processes. 'All are struggle in the same:direction toward the new light that has arisen over a long-darkened world and are determined sooner or later to reach it. g However difficult the task may appear to be, we may rest, assured that this object will be attained, for the peoples of the werld have determined to secure it and- it is the obvious destiny of mankind that they shall not be thwarted.’ ! Into a position of leadership, not achieved by conquest, but by accomplishment has America been placed by the consent of the world. 'Acclaimed as the pattern of democracy, this country is implored not to desert humanity now but, even as it intervened to save it from the terror of militarism in time of war, to give it continued support and encouragement in these days of reconstruction and rehabilitation.’ America has be- come, in a wider and nobler sense than ever before, the hope of the world and it will not, it cannot fail to be equal to its high responsibilities. It is a glorious privilege to be an American citizen and to perform a part in the rejuvenation of mankind at this critical hour. For this was America created and early endowed with the heritage of liberty; for this has she been prospered abovegy all nations and preserved in her strength and integrity. | urday, will'be thrown ‘Parsmount photopl e .

True citizens of the Republic will not hesitate in the present itself. It behooves them to do that which lies first at hand, and the call of the country now it for subscriptions to the last Liberty Loan. This is the obvious and paramount duty of the moment, to make the dollar of the American purse follow the bullet from the American gun. & In' a spirit of profound thankfulness and humble-minded rejoicing that the erfforts of the nation have brought victory and peace; its citizens should eagerly and gladly come. forward in, response to this demand, thereby to finish that which was 8o courageously undertaken, so gloriously’ conducted ‘and ‘so_ effic- iently brought to fulfillment. The loan should be taken not reluctantly, but with enthus- jasm and overwhelmingly; not only as' a sacred obligation of citizenship but as a thank offéring and as an earnest that Amer- ica, having put her hand to the plow, will not turn back until the work is done. The measure of the response to this demand will be accepted by the world as the measure of the willingness of Americans to support at home the splendid achievements of their sons abroad.

Since the European war began there has been a steady increase in the prices of nearly everything we use. There has not been a corresponding increase in ‘telephone rates. In order to meet the high cost of telephone operation, a revenue in just proportion to the expense must be obtained. The necessity for more. telephone revenue is easily understood. The cost of telephone operation has steadily advanced both because of increased cost of material to the telephone company and the increased living expenses of employees. The consumer has realized the necessity of paying more for rent, for in all of the necessities of life. The telephone industry has produced higher prices If this Company is to continue to furnish telephone service to the public it must obtain such rates as will produce a revenue sufficient to cover the cost of providing.the service. i NORTHWESTERN TELEPHONE EXGHANGE GO. | e e e 1 0 P o e Defective
