AMERICAN (JAMKNKS8.
American gameness,—the quality
that has Inspired the beurers of the
Star Spangled Banner since the rev-
olution. nearly an much, perhaps, as
patriotism Itself, is being evidenced
In this present war-time as never be-
fore in the history of the country.
One of the first evidences of the
gameness of the Amorican people
was when they practically to a man
rndorsod the declaration of war
which through a peace-loving coun-
try from the fat luxury of neutral
profiteering Into actual war condi-
tions.
This gameness was further Indi-
cated when congress passed and the
people accepted unanimously (ex-
cepting only the more radleal anti-
American elements und German
rympathlzers) the selective conscrlp-
t tlon act,—such an act ns Australia
refused and Canada almost defeated
Next came the food and fuel con-
trol orders, wnicli would nave seri-
ously disordered business had not
the American people been gaino and
cheerfully accepted the changed con-
ditions.
Even the taking of the young men
of the nation from the industries and
from their homes made no appre-
ciable impression on the unfailing
nerve nnd gainenesH of the people a>
a whole or Individually, and was ac-
cepted with the best of grace.
WheatlesH, tneatloBS, llghtless. and
non-delivery orders were all met
with acquiescence on the part of
pru<*ically all of the peoplo. all
perhaps, except those of too small
minds to catch the spirit of the
times or of too selfish a dispositior
too respond.—people of the samt
class, in fact, ns the un-American or
pro-C.ermapcitlzens who opposed the
selective conscription law and othei
war measures.
The taking over of the rallroadp
r.nd the shutting down of industry in
the eastern part of the country
among the recent war measures
have given nn opportunity for a dis-
play of gameness on 4ho part of
American big business that many
people never suspected.
It is such gameness that is going
to win the war.
O
Mt.ii ru:ss MWITS.
The "llghtloss nights" order of
the fuel control is one which works
no hardship on any one. -not even
un inconvenience. It simply tor two
ights a week suspends the practice
of an extravagance of eomparativelj
recent origin. There is no reason
why anybody should not abide by the
order. The only loser so far as ac-
tual revenuo is concerned is the
, Shawnee Qas & Electric Co., and it
lores nothing where a flat rate it
paid but the consequent saving ot
luel is such as to Justify the order.
Every patriotic citizen should be
willing to perform this slight ser
vice, entailing an inconvenience that
* is altogether inconsequential.
The Difference.

itable business us the repre.nentativo

j Our county attorney, Clyde Pit-
man, took a few moments from his
| regular work and tried his hand at
1 killing rabbits Saturday evening.
We qo not know what luck Clyde
I had but judging by the way that ne
takes care of the office he saw thu
ruijuits all right.
The Tecumseh schools held school
yesterday und found that everybody
stood behind the move us there was
not many who did not come. We
! did better work than Is generally
done on Monday after a rest^of the
• two days. Those who are acquainted
I with the school work know tnat the
• last of the week is always the best
1 and the last of the term is always
j Hie best. Then if we lose nothing
I but really gain and it being our pa-
triotic duty, we think we are doing
just the only thing.
I The local branch Oi the Red
Cross Chapter has inoveu to the
county treasurer's office. They are
moved around a good deal but it
does not seem to causo any lack of
| interest for a peep in to the room
1 Saturday evening revealed a very
' busy place. You could count some
eight women all too busy to look up.
, They did not Beem to see those who
aiue along at all. A more patriotic
bunch cannot be found In these
parts. Hut a look each evening re-
\eals the fact that there are oth-
rs who ought to be there.
Joe Engle of St. Louis was In town

Dr. O. B. Brown of Tiner nelgh-

The Dealers Part
In Winning
the War
From an address by 1'. CI. llolilon, oT the International Harvester
Co. at Kansas City:
"The destiny of nations, the fate or the peoples of the oarlh rest
today upon the implement dealers ot America. Never has their re-
sponsibility been so heavy; upon no one must ihe Government depend
so greatly.
"Our army and navy, the workers In our industries, the women in
our homes, the children in our schools. Ihe people of the countries
allied with us In tho desperate struggle, all must be fed Food Is the
vital need of tho world. Without a greater production and a grenter
conservation of food than we have ever known, we cannot win the war.
"Tho Government has appealed to the farmers to increase their
acreage ot practically all Brains from fi to r.l per cent over what It
was In 1917. This appeal Is bused upon the food requirements for the
coming year.
"To cultivate this increased acroage will necessitate an equal In-
crease In the man power on the farms. Hut our boys huvo gone to
war We are short of labor Tho situation presents an emergency
to which there Is but one solution
