In The Spirit Of
Civilization

WK HOPE, WITH TOP, that the year nineteen hud red ud
righlw wtll aaanMtMe the flaal victory la man
kind's low Dnnle tor LIBERTY.
BLOWLT It has been realized by Americans that the world
Is not yet free—that a false and barbarian philosophy still delusive
ly sways certain strong peoples—menaces the rights and privileges
so long commonplace In this Republic.
RELUCTANTLY and dally It has been our duty to oppose
brute force In the only way Intelligible to brute force—to prove
again that the sword of Justice mutt ever triumph over the sword
of Iniquity. » ,
STEP 11V STEP, painfully and with Infinite heart-breaking
through the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages; the centuries of
Feudalism; the folly of Religious Intolerance; the despotisms of
; liters and Kings—has the world steadily been made better for
ose who live la It.
RESOLUTELY the free peoples, cemented In the most lofty
cause, non' march forward to determine once and for all that Fair
Play between nation and nation, and between man and man shall
prevail. „ -
i tr* ,
* DIMLY do we appreciate the great and far-reaching Issues
of this tremendous struggle In which practically the whole world
Is now engaged—the intlmlte and personal Influences which the
result Is to exert upon the Improvements of the common lot for
generations upon generations to come.
WE KNOW THAT THE TEST of the United States Is at hand
and that It we tall, the blood of our children will pay for our
betrayal of Democracy.
LET U 8 STEADFASTLY STAND TOGETHER, our hearts up-, ?
lifted by the majority of our cause, our minds serene In the knowl
edge of righteousness and our hands Industrious to the full meas
ure of our abilities.
In This Solemn Spirit We Wish You A
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Phone Company's Future is Dark
Thai the telephone companies of
the United Butee are facing thn
darkest period of their existence and
that to continue their previous good
service they must have the co-opera
tion or the people of the United
Btotee, Is the statement of J. F.
Oreenawalt, publicity manager of
the Mountain Statas Telapbone and
Telegraph Company.
More than 200 skilled meo have
left the employ of thn company to
enter the government service, ac
cording to Mr. arnenawalt. leaving
a hole that It la impossible to fill,
with practically all of tbe skilled
man of the eatlm Ball system In the
government service. The Bell sys
tem furnished 1,600 men for the sig
nal service alone, of which the Moun
tain States quota was 110.
This together with tha almost Im
passibility of procuring material for
construction and repair purposes,
pats tbe company, according to Mr.
Oreenawalt, “between thn devil and
the deep bins son." The Bell syetea
has beta Instructed by the govern

HOVER'S GOOD TO GET YOU
The darned old Hoover pledge has
coma to onr house to stay;
To frown our breakfast bacon down,
and take onr stank sway;
H cans our morning wnfflas, and our
sausage, too. It seams,
• And dllatas on tho succulence of
corn and spnds and beans.
So skimp ths sugar In your cake and
leave the butter out.
> Ob, Hoover's goln' to get you If you
don't watch out!
»
Oh. gone are the good old dayi of
the hot cakes thickly spread.
And meatless, wheatless, hopeless
days are reigning In their stead:
And gone the days of fat rib roasts
and two-inch T-bone steaks,
And doughnuts plum and golden
brown, the kind that mother
makes.
And when It comes to rake and pie.
just learn to cut it out,
Or Hoover's goln' to get you If you
don't watch out!
r So spread your buskwheat sparingly,
and peel your talers thin;
And tighten up your belt a bit and
don't forget to grin.
And If. sometimes your whole soul
yearns for shortcake high and
wide,
And biscuits drenched with honey,
and chicken, butter fried.
Remember then that Kaiser Bill is
sbort on sauerkraut.
And Hoover's goln' to get him If
we ll ALL HELP OUT!
