President Lucas gave an excellent) review of the, city’s business eve: | ning and his recommendations sould | be given earnest consideration. ! That portion of the message de-| voted to the health of the community | is an excellent antidote to the false and malicious reports being spread through irresponsible and unofficial | channels. There is no epidemic of any kind in the city. Its health conditions are! excellent as revealed by statistics in the survey of Mayor Lucas. i Every citizen should read this re- sume of the administration's record ‘and. assist in every possible way a} realization of the recommendations. Nothhig is gained by giving aia} and comfort to detractors or publish- ing. patter that libels a city and re- tards its growth, The time has come when vital statistics should be gathered in a sci- entific and orderly manner, It is im- portant that the death rate be com- puted accurately, separating deaths of residents from those of non-resi- dents here for treatment at the var- ious hospitals. There is a growing need for a pub- lie, racreation park. .Mr. Lucas’ sug- gestions,are timely. It will take time to work! them out, but if Bismarck is to, grow, and prosper, projects that improve living, conditions must be shouldered. Study the message. Get behind ‘the commission and boost for Bismarck. } Let us build up and not tear down. We'll prov herman right un- less we adopt universal servi DO IT NOW. Plow up that vacant space in the rear of your lot. Make every foot of vacant land productive. It is the su- preme duty of those who are not called to serve the nation on the fir- ing line to assist in the production of food at home. The vacant lot next door should be plowed up and made productive. Bismarck should do its “bit” and put all idle land to work. Get busy! Dark days for Uncle ‘Joe Cannon. O woman has been elected to con- gress and Danville has gone dry. The mere thought of a draft gives congress cold feet. OUR JOB. Here are a few plain facts for in- telligent Americans: Every day, while this war lasts, thousands of helpless persons in Bel- gium, Serbia, and the invaded regions of France, will be starving to death. Every day the misery and suffering of millions will grow worse. Every average day about 5,000 will be killed or wounded on the western battle front alone. Every day that we hasten the send- ing of American troops to Europe cuts off » day of the war. Perhaps it cuts off more than that. It isn't the deadly execution. they will do. It isn’t the idea that they will descend upon the hostile warriors and eat ’em alive. It is the tremen- dous moral force, greater than all armies, that lies in the notice to the world that we are not a nation of ‘boobs, we are not obliged to let oth- ers do our fighting, we are not in this war with dollars alone, but with the full strength of 110,000,000 people. Facing these facts, the half-witted, and the half-hearted, in congress and out, want to waste time over a back- fire scheme to wait for a volunteer amy, «- | 1: * "Rh ots | sible!
