Whatever program' that Russia has had in
her development one fact stands out sun clear.
It has not dulled or blighted the patriotism of
her people. Nowhere in all history has there been
a more challenging and magnificent example of
defeiisO of homeland by any people than has been
made by the people of Russia against a superior
equipped and a ruthless foe. Undergirding Rus-
sia’s inspiring defense of her country is a great
courage. The Russian soldiers and civilian men
and women do not1 fear their enemy. They are
fighting for their homes and their way of life. a chance

peared that justifies the muddling of the rubber

is well known. He has a reputation as a planner
and builder, that establishes beyond any doubt
that he is not uppracticable or a visionary dream-

petty jealousies be laid aside and that Kaiser’s
proposition be viewed with an open mind. If
there is a possibility that it, has merit it should
be given a trial. It is a good time to remember,
in this connection, that many, of the great

1 MOKE DEMANDS ON COMMUNITIES
As time goes on the demands of war are go-
ing ^o .continue to draw more heavily upon the
small communities such as this. The service is
going to continue to call our young man power
as will the defense plants. As the war machine
gfts under way more and more lines of merchan-
dise are going to dwindle to fewer items, leav-
ing only necessities. The struggle to maintain
its institutions' is going to become increasingly
difficult for the small communities such as ours.
In view of this fact it becomes not only impor-
tant but a necessity, that we conserve every
resource we may have that the burden may not
be too heavy to bear. One way to aid in this is
for each of us to resolve to spend his money at
home with the home merchants who advertise
and other competitive prices. Regardless ,of
what has been our practice in the past the time
has come to make adjustments—everyone is
being called upon to* make adjustments. Let one
of these adjustments be that, .we will trade at
home more and thus defend pur own home front.

It is being predicted that after the war the
jeeps will be offered for sale at a reasonable
price to farmers as a means of farm power and
transportation. Jeeps may be used for plowing
and other farm work except cultivation of corn
and other row crops. They are set too low for
this. They have six forward speeds and two in
reverse and . are very sturdily made.

What We Think
B> FRANK DIXON
There never has been a time when
it has been more difficult to look
ahead and adjust, the future plans
for business, ' big and little; (The
reason for t^iis' is that, no one can
look ahedd ' and foresee what . the
future holds even aa much as three
months ahead. The reason for tbit* is
that no one knows what the plans
for three months ahead will be. Con-
ditions will determine what these
will be and plans for them cannot be
maje until conditions reveal them-
selves.

What these conditions will be de
pends upon the events that may hap-
pen on any of the several battle
fronts. The fortunes of war will de-
termine these and' the fortunes of
war being most uncertain, the futurd
becomes unpredictable.
Not only is this uncertainty felt
in business, big and little, but it is
felt in the case of every individual.

THE COUNTY PAPER
l
Thousands throughout the country
cannot look ahead with any certainty
or assurance and know that they will
still be engaged in their present em-
ployment.
This much we know. As the army
Continues to draw upon the manpow-
er of the nation sd will the civilians
at home be drawn upon more and
more to fill the vacancies in defense
plants caused by the drafting of the
younger men into the armed forces.
This is one of the results of total
war. While the law of the land does
not provide for the drafting of labor,
there is still no doubt but that men,
now immune from the draft, in
civilian employment, are going to be
called to take whatever place their
peculiar skill fits them for in the de-
fense industry. While this call will
not have back of it compulsion cf
the law, there is little doubt that
any man so called will refuse
to respond. He will ^feel that it is his |
patriotic duty and hi* responsibility
as a citizen of this United States to!
render his services where they can
be used to the best advantage.
On the military side the supply of.
Class 1-A men is rapidly beii)g ex-
hausted, yet the limits of the army,
planned, for have not heen met.' To
meet this need younger men must
and prill be drafted-
This is the picture that faces the
country. It' is upon these Sfacts th^t
plans for busiriess and individuals
for the future must be built. We
know in advance that we, as p
nation, and as individuals, are going
to do whatever will be necessary to
win this war. As a nation, and as
individuals, we will be ready when
the time comes to make whatever
sacrifice we may be called upon to
make that the full force' of our
strength may be Available for the
final knock out blow.
