TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1918.
Our American soldiers are proving
themselves equal to the task of battling
with the Huns.
The world of workers may well look
w'ith contempt upon the few idlers that
remain. What excuse can a man give
now for being a loafer?
It is reported that the Gorman navy
is getting ready to come out and fight.
There could be no more desirable thing
than to have them come out and fight.
We believe it will he the most entertaining
light the German navv has
ever participated in.
Our cat says there are some people
who think the whole world would go
to smash if they failed to f-et up in
the morning, hut the old fellow further
arises and says that these same
people could die, as they will some day,
and the sun will rise just the same
and even the whistles will blow and
the wheels turn.
We feel sure the Union Chamber of
Commerce and Agriculture will perform
a real service to the town and
county if it can induce some first-class
man to come here and open a laundry.
The organization has the question
under advisement and we hope results
will be obtained. If the laundry proposition
makes as good success as has
the bakery, which, by the way, was
brought here through the efforts of
the organization, it will prove a real
success.
One of the principles laid down by I
the Great Teacher is: "lie that is not
for me is against me." This proves
that neutrality is really antagonism.
In the present day, an American citizen
"-ho is not for his country is an
enemy of his country. It is not
enough for one to refrain from saying
and doing that which is disloyal.
To be neutral is to come perilously
near to being a traitor. It requires
not only passive submission to the will
of the government, but active obedience.
It is no time for anything save
complete loyalty.
A careful consideration of conditions
leads to the conclusion that our
people cheerfully comply with the
various rulings of the Food Administration,
and the cooperation vv*ith the
government is well-nigh universal.
This disposes the theory that a democracy
cannot do things; that is, cannot
do them in a satisfactory way. The
fact is, the most effective cooperation
is that which comes willingly, not
grudgingly, as is being daily proven
by the people of this country. We
do not believe, if the search were
made today, there would he found a
dozen families in Union County that
have on hand more than the regulation
amount of sugar or flour. Our
people are not only willing to comply,
but they are anxious so to do, and
this is one of the best indications that
can be found of our sincerity of purpose.
There may be here and there some
miserably selfish soul that is hoarding,
but, if so, he will keep very quiet
about it,' for were it to become known,
he would be scorned by his neighbors,
and justly so.
NOTICE
Rev. C. B. Prince, pastor of the
West Springs Baptist church will
preach a special sermon on Saturday
night to men only. The services will
begin at 9:30 o'clock.

BOLSEIIVIKI ADOPT CUBIST ]
STYLE 'OF DECORATION
London, May 17.?(Correspondence .
of The Associated Press).?The Bolsheviki
have adopted the cubist style
of decoration for Russian cities in celebrating
the revolutionary feast days.
The whole city of Petrograd was decorated
in this bizarre fashion for the
celebration of May Day. Thousands
of cubist posters draped with revolutionary
red bunting ornamented the
walls of palaces and government
buildings. Describing the scene the
Petrograd correspondent of the Morning
Post writes:
"Petrograd for May Day w'as turned
into a huge village fair. The ambitious
plans for hiding under red draperies
and hideous cubist canvasses
all the visible symbols of those things
Hint made the greatness of once great
Russia were curtailed by shortage of
,-o ! material, by inability to compel a
suflicieney of skilled labor, or by the
desire of everybody concerned to think
first of personal opportunities ai d only
secondarily of public objects.
"At any rate, the great palaces and
monuments, the works of art of many
generations, were neither hiddmi nor
disguised. hut merely disfigured. T
noted principally the disfigurement of
ho Winter Palace facade. Half a dozen
billboards erected ahout the Palace
Square horo cubist and futurist anjru!ar
daubs on a gigantic scale, each
with a legend explaining what otherwise
was certainly incomprehensible.
"The Treat column of the Palace
Square had evidently defied the attacks,
and only its pediment was partially
hidden by billboards covered
with crude colors, having neither form
nor substance.
"The procession did itself credit in
several particulars. All the fighting
forces on this occasion appeared with
full equipnujnt and arms. Bands of
workmen were interspersed between
the fighting arms.
"Bands, of course, played freely, hut
the Marseillaise, which is the official
anthem of modern Russia pending the
invention of somethin.tr Russian, was
little heard. Military honors are paid
to the Marseillaise, and civilians oilcover
when it is played.
"May Day is. according to beliefs
now' widely promulgated by Lenine
the day of the birth *of the Russian
revolution. All things that happened
before were merely anticipatory throes
or abortive alarms, which the country
is well rid of, and which are best forgotten."
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Editor of Union Times:?
Please announce in your paper of
this week that the County Sunday
school convention (Interdenominational)
will convene at New Hope,
near Jonesville, August 16 and 17.
The program will be arranged later.
Very truly,,
J. W. Scott, Pres.

01R CRUSADERS
I
For the living God in heaven they are
fighting overseas,
Py the blood of Christ on Calvary
is blest the high crusade
And the Ivast of Armageddon shall :
upon his bended knees.
For a thousand years of horror
know the hell that he has made.
And as Perseus slew the dragon as it
clasped the trembling form
Of the lovely Andromeda, so our
splendid boys advance i
To crush the million-headed beast in
furious battle storm
And blast its slime and venom from
the hills and values of France.
The crowned and rampant vulture,
the escutcheon of the Hun,
Types the Ilohenzollern devil, and <
his blasphemy of God;
Rut the eagle of America unblinking <
eyes the sun, \
And our glorious army treads the
path the old crusaders trod. i
Not in Holy Writ nor history nor
legends of romance,
Neither Tancred nor de Buoillion,
neither Richard Lionheart,
More truly fought for God and Christ
than now in ravished France
And pillaged Flanders bear our
boys the true crusader's part, i
For the imperial Ilohenzollern is the <
Moloch of the Huns, ,
Foul murderers of children they and
ravishers of maids,
And the blackened soul of Prussia
breathes damnation from its <
gums,
And the iron cross of Satan for the \
Cross of Jesus trades. i
Put the beast of Armageddon shall be i
beaten to his knees;
By the pride and crown of Prussia
shall the awful price be paid;
For the living God in heaven they are
fighting overseas,
And the blood of Christ on Calvary c
hath blest the high crusade. i
