“This boy of mine is going to

heavyweight as experienced and:
smart as Barlund. And don't for-!

The "fate of the world hung inthe balance" in 1812 when Napoleon
wept through Europe. But the pioneers managed to tear their yes off
the headlines long enough to go on opening up new land, building new
homes and establishing industries. -
In 1853 another Napoleon gaveurope the dithers, but the westward
trek was on here at home and it is cpubtfui if the hordes of covered wag-
ons bothered to wait for the latest extra."
1871 saw the Germans sweep through France, occupying France and
taking over Alsace-Lorraine. But Americans were too busily engaged in
building railroads into every commuaity on the map and new homes. The
sound of the hammer drowned out the “viewers with alarm.”
We believe there is more worthwhile news in those new homes that
are going up in Gainesville—in the high standard of living in America—
in the amount of stock and produce in this community . . than in any
number of men savagely killing one another in Europe.
And while we have the utmost pity for those innocents who suffer, we
. think the things that really count are the things that are going on in Amer-
ica—that we should go on working at our individual jobs, speed up recov-
ery in our own country and make it possible for all to enjoy the American
Way oi Living. -
