MAY 23, 1918 Pas Psi Nit les Ma Ian lias Pa WHY BUY COAL NOWR The movement to encourage coal users to lay in their next winter's supply right now is not inspired by the dealers to help them through a quiet season. It has its inception by reason of economic conditions which threaten to make- it extremely diffi- cult for the late buyers to secure any supply at all, and should be care- fully heeded by those who anticipate using it during the winter. __The reasons set _forth by the fuel, administration for urging early buy- ing are that transportation facilities are now available, whereas later in the season they will be required to move the crops and the rapidly in- creasing output of war materials; labor in the mines is not plentiful so that production of the Montana Mines, instead of increasing next winter, may be decreased, and the demand throughout the country be- cause of war conditions is fully 20 per cent greater than last year. These conditions actually exist. They have not been conjured for the purpose of helping someone to make a little more money, and it is a pa- triotic duty to take heed so that those in charge of war operations need not be embarrased during the winter by calls from people who have neglecteia to provide for their comfort, and which they will not be able to answer, at • least not without interfering with other affairs. U. S. Fuel Administrator Garfield says: \If- you have not the money. to pay for your year's supply of coal, do without clothes, do without lax - tines, borrow the money if need be, but get in your .coal at once. les Vs A PREPAREDNESS MEASURE The Sanders County American De- fense Society was not brought into txistence by any specific or flag- rant unpatriotic condition which was defyin s ; the authorities and threaten- ing the welfare of the community. It is not an organization such as the vigilantes of the carly days which were born of the necessity fof curb- ing lawlessncee when other methods bRd ,frove,titinetT-etit e. It is sirriply a voluntary associa- tion of citizens who feel that the in- terests of the nation demand, not merely the peteei-ee. non-resistant at- quignence to the ordinary laws of the land and .thon e rnade necessary by the state of war, but the active, ag- gressive stipport of all measures and activities that will hasten victory and save the lites , of those who are fight- ing for our protection. It is an organization to keep watch for Anything that may savor of dis- loYalty and to assist the authorities . to stamp it out before it has an op- portunity to \take rOot and spread. Just as one who is cautious will guard his health and adopt prevent- ives at the first sign of disease in order that his energies may not be impaired, so the Members of this body are uniting to prevent trouble and avoid, the damage that might .e done if sedition were allowed to creep in and work unnoticed and unmo- lested until it assumed proportions that would demand drastic action. It is a measure of preparedness against the insiduous propaganda that might easily lodge in the minds of poorly informed or u.nfriendly dis- posed people, and as such it can be of •great benefit in helping to avoid trouble by nipping it in the bud. Mt 101 THE SPIRIT THAT WILL WIN One thing about Dr. Salmon that impressed. us, both from the tone of his address and _from private con- versation with him, is the spirit of confidence lie possesses in the final victory of the allied armies. This is not born of mere braggidoccio, but arises from the .. knowledge that the cause is just- and from his observa- tion of the spirit of the enemy. When one has spent nine months in almost daily contact nith the en- emy and has had an opportunity to observe the cruel_ and vicious meth- ods of warfare that he makes use of. the insults and abuse that are heaped upon wounded comrades, and knows of his own knowledge of the mis- , treatinent of helplesst prisoners and civilians, and has also observed how quickly these same brutes will dis- play the yellow streak when they fear The same kind of treatment is going to be accorded them, it would be strange if be could conceive of any- thing but an allied victory. Dr. Salmon was compelled to leave the field of battle because of wounds. It might be considered that he had done his bit, but he is not satisfied • to let it go at that. If he .canno* get the Hun with a machine gun he is going to help by arousing others to the task that is before them. If his is typical of the spirit that is aroused by the tactics of the con- quest - seeking, treacherous - fighting enemy, there never was and can never be a chance for a German victory. He believes that a peace negotioned with the military powers would be absolutely useless -that the allies are bound to fight it out until the German people, who applaud the deeds of frightfulness committed and only start to cry for peace when reprisals are made or the pangs of hunger be- gin to gnaw at their vitals, are brought to their knees with the cry of \Mercy kamerad\ on their lips - and then it will be well to search them carefully for some concealed weapon which might be used the in- stant the allies are off their guard. u r t: I 3 3 '11) II it NOXON NEWS II u u u 22 22 12 22 22 22 B.
