AMERICA'3 PART IN THE WORLD'S WA (Medal essay. Prosperity Hi; School. Written by Mijs Mary Jai Cook, Tenth Grade.) Abraham Lincoln, in his Gettysbu address, said that he was fightii that "government of the people, the people, for the people, might n perish from the earth." Is it not f that cause that America now giv battle? When the president said tb we were fighting "to make the wor safe for democracy,'' when Senat t Borah said recently that the war to determine whether a republicform of government can endure, soi *nay have thought that they we merely indulging in patriotic rhetor But as a matter of tact no men ev spoke calmer words of truth. Certainly no one can doubt th it? fio-Vitinc t'nv Hpmnrrflt lO a va v% v ? ? ? , fighting for the right of the people rule. Certainly we all realize that nation which cannot defend the pri ciples on which it is founded is n destined to endure, and a nation whi< is unwilling to fight for its principl cannot endure." Truly are our m< fighting for democracy?fighting th ^the hands of the clock of hum; progress shall not be turned bac] fighting that the rule oi kings sh? never again supersede the rule of t! people; fighting that the gains .Runnymede and Marston Moor ai Yorktown shall not be lost to huma lty; fighting that the martyrs to tl cause of freedom and progress in i 5ast ages shall not have died in vai Suppose Germany should win th "war. Suppose the kaiser, flushed wi a victory beyond the wildest drears of Caesar or Napoleon and mad wi' the idea that he is divinely named rule the earth, should triumph ov America, England and France ai ktrep at his bed: and call a victc] ous ;;rmy ready to spring wolf-like i th* "voat of any nation opposing h will.

It is her duty to t,u port our brave allies by sending the the help they are in such aire need c for have they not stood between i ;ana use German army, and, by the ccr.rage and sacrifice, have saved 11 day for us no less than for thei selves? We must help them conqu *iow and we must count no sacrifii "too great to make in order that v -may conquer, in order that the wor -'may be saved from the tyranny of .power which knows no god but for< and which would know no mercy f< ^is as a conquered foe. If we do n conquer Germany now the world mu remain an armed camp through fe; of her until she is conquered, and 01 children and our children's childr< ? ? j - o may not see ine euu ui mis 51c struggle. it is the part of home-staying Ame icans to give our soldiers all the su port of which we are capable, and 1 so doing can surely shorten the w and save to the world billions of d< lars and hundreds of thousands lives. How can we hold up our eni In many ways, but not the least th we can do is to keep blazing the fir ^of courage and determination so th "she light may flame across the s< into the very trenches. Military e perts, social workers, practical ps ' ehoiogists, government officials ai the soldiers themselves have giv< .their opinions concerning this. Th< say, "Smile when your boy goes ai sToiift in vour freauent letters to hii Don't let him hear one sob, feel 01 -^nisgiving, see one tear.

Look for the best and be rea< tor the worst. God has a way of tur 'mg the worst things into the best, i -to call anything worst may be as ii impious as it surely is premature.

When preparing for the issuing of Thrift Stamps and War Savings , Certicates the national admlnlstratration very wisely decided that they should not be subject to any taxes, federal, state or loeal. In j this respect they are entirely j unique, being free when almost ev- j erything else it subject to impost. As the amount that an individual j may hold is limited to $1,000, this j concession does not deal unjustly I toward other security holders. It is simply an Inducement to the small investor to make an unusual effort in his own and his country's behalf by depositing as much of his i surplus with the government as possible. Those who buy these lit- , tie bonds?and all should do it? should understand in advance of i the coming days of taxation return In April that whatever of their earned savings or surplus derived j from economies is copverted Into Thrift Stamps or War Savings Cer- j tiflcates need not be recorded upon ! the assessor's blank. As the inter- \ eet and principal are payable in j 1923, neither is it necessary to make mention of the investments i In the return to the income tax col- \ lector. t They are, as stated, absolutely tree ana, as tney aiso pay ^ per cent compound interest, are the best securities that one can buy in these troubled times. / | .i Every time you buy a War Savings Stamp you help weaken the Hindenburg lin?.
