, It seems to me that all , Amer
ica should devote its whole
thought and energy these days
to making war. . Vs-r(;,-..i
Let War.be the chief business
before us until this terrible con
flict is brought to a successful
flnisht. . . ". . i'.J. '. ....
1 need not tell you why we are
at war.; You know all of that
bette? perhaps than do 1.
, There is just one big, strong
fact staring us in the face. We
are at war. We will come out of
the war victorious or licked. If
we win, our children will be Bafe
from war for a generation or
two. j If we lose, no pen can pic
ture the disaster that will over,
come us. We may get a little
impression of what defeat means
by looking at the wreck and rum
of Belgium, Poland,, Servia and
Armenia.
We must win this war.
But to win it we' need more
than soldiers. We need the con
centrated thought and energy of
all America on the war. We
need the en thusiast ic support and
hearty applause of every man
woman and child in this great
country.
You know how the football
team with the greatest number
of rooters often wins.
Our soldier boys need all the
encouragement, all the whoop
and hurrah they can get from
home.
Besides that, I he various enter
prises of the government cannot
be carried out successfully with
out the enthusiastic support of
the people.
Many newspaper men will not
be able to go to the front.
But every patriotic newspaper
man who sticks to his job and
does what he can to help the
government and nis country in
this gmat ctisH(is worth a dozen
soldiers in the trenches.
Napoleon once said that the
active support of four good
newspapers at homo was worth
a division of 50,000 men at the
rout. Newspapers were not so
plentiful then as now. But you
can see that he appreciated the
power of the press
I have beeu thinking seriously
of my duty in this war for some
time. I am convinced that if I do
everything in my power, using
all the space in the Record need
el, devoting all the time 1 can
profitably to the various War
enterprises, giving all the money
can earc in war times to the
several worthy enterprises and
benevolencies, that even then my
sacrifice will be small compared
to that of any one of the young
men of my town who have left
their business and homes and i el
atives to fight our fight in France.
This matter was brought close
home to me in my own family.
have a brother-m law in tue ar
my. Like oue of the famous wri
ters, I am willing to sacrifice my
wife's kin for my country. He
had a big business in British Co
lumbia. Was making probably
S10.000 a Year. At the first
break be closed out his business
and came home to enlist in the
army. His highest hope was to
be a private on the firing line in
France.

Nobody knows what it means
to have a sick child like the
mother, therefore, I am asking
the mothers of this county, es
pecially to cooperate with uie,
their county quarantine officer,
and by all working together, to
keep down those preventable di
seases like whoopingcougb, mea
sles, scarlet fever and diptheria,
as far as possible. .
' Some old, fashioned mothers
need to believe that' whooping
cough and measles were like tax
es, just had to come, and the
sooner they "came and went,"
the better. But now motheis
know different. They know that
even if children should have these
diseases when they grow up it
goes less hard with them then,
and tbey are more likely to re
cover without defects and im
pairments. Why, when a moth
er's baby has measles if it is less
than five years old, she never
knows whether it is going to be
left blind, deaf, lame, or with
weakened heart or kidneys for
ife. The safest plan is to take
no chances with any of these so-
called children's diseases. Chil
dren don't hav e to have them.
and why not protect them?
Some of the things mothers can
doto keep down whoopingcougb,
measels, scarlet fever, infantile
paralysis and diptheria in their
homes and communities are,
first, to suspect the disease and
keep at home the children buy
ing the first symptom such as
sore throats or head colds, par
ticularly if any contagious dis
ease is in the community. Sec
ond, in case no physician is rail
ed to attend the child, the moth
er snouiu see mat me uisease is
reported at once to the county
quarantine officer who will tell
what to do and how to treat the
case. The law requires them to
do this. Third, every raothpr
should nspect the Quarantine
Law. It may inconvenience her
slightly but what will a few days
of inconvenience mean if it suvt s
rerhaps his several years in
Canada pave him a kener sensp
of duty and a clearer realization
of the needs of our country than
we had here at that time.
Anyway, there he was a man
ol 40, beyond all possible draft
requirements, with bright busi
ness prospects and prosperouM,
living in ease, in an atmosphere
of refinement, giving up all that
many count worth while in this
life to serve his country.
Of course t his is only one o
thousands of similar instances
But it comes close home to me
and heli s me to realize that all I
can possibly do will amount to
little as compared to his contri
butions to the cause.
With such examples before me.
I could not spend these years o
war-iiuie distress in thinking o
business una ruone.y-making a
lone. I would be ashamed to live
in luxury and easr and feel that
I had profited without services
while others millions of others
had paid the great sacrifice for
my country.
So I am trying to find my plat
in this War-time scheme of things
aud serve where where lean
servo my country. I shull try not
to let private business interfere
with my call to public service
which' lean perform efficiently
aud without pay while the War
lasts.:
While the sacrifice newspaper
meu are called upon to make
may be small, still the service we
may render may be great. G. U.
