question of issuing bonds to pro-
vide funds to be expended in pay-
ment of accounts legally con-
tracted in constructing and equip-
ping a public free school building
of brick material, and purchasing
a site there for, and authorizing
a tax upon all taxable property
within said districts sufficient to
pay the current interest on said
bonds and provide a sinking
fund sufficient to pay the prin-
cipal at maturity-said petition
bearing the requisite number of
signatures of broperty tax-pay-
ing voters of said District, and i
being in every respect in con-1
formity with the law, and Hj
further appering that said
County Line Common School;
District No 34 has been hereto j
fore, to-wit on the 4th day of;
April 1917, in accordance with j
the laws of the state of Texas \

pering that said Mistnct as so

more than nine square miles and j
that no other district has been j
reduced in area below nine!
square miles by reason of the!

JOHN A, tJA WAN, V f -it.
Those whoj before the United
States entered the war, thought
it best to remain neutral and
postpone until after the war the
settlement of differences with
belligerent nations, will have no
difficulty in recognizing the
change in the situation caused
by our awn nation's entrance
into the war. Had we remained
neutral we might have been able
to act as mediator and thus ren-
dered an important service to
the world. In entering the war,
however, we surrendered that
opportunity and incurred the
enmity of tne central powers.
A new situation, therefore, con-
fronts us. We must not only
protect ourselves from those who
are now our enemies, but we
must find an opportunity for
worid service in aiding to ar-
range a permanent peace, built
on justice, liberty and domo-
cracy.
WE MUST WIN. Defeat is
inconceivable—it would be indes-
cribably unfortunate if it were
possible. We can not allow any
foreign nation to determine the
destiny of the United States—eg.
pecially a nation committed, as
Germany is. to arbitrary govern-
ment and militarism.
Neither can we afford to have
our lilies overcome—that would
bring upon us the disasters of
defeat or 'ho burden of carrying
on the war alone.
We are in the war by the ac-
tion of congress—the only body
authorized to take he nation in-
to war. The quickest way to
peace is to go straight through,
supporting the government i f all
it undertakes, no matter how
long the war lasts or how much
WE MUST WIN.
Any discord or division, after
the government has acted, would
prolong the war and increase its
cost in money and men.
