HENNE'S HARDWARE
Quality First, Last and Always ^
My Fellow Countrymen:
"The entrance of our own beloved
country into the grim and terrible
war for democracy and human rights
which has shaken the world creates
so many problems of national life
and action which call for immediate
consideration and settlement that I
hope you will permit me to address
to you a few words of earnest counsel
and appeal with regard to them.
We are rapidly putting our navy
upon an effective war footing and are
about to create and equip a great
army, but these are the simplest
parts of the great task to which we
have addressed ourselves. There is
not a single selfish element, so far
as I can see, in the cause we are
fighting for.
Plea for Service Without Profit
"We are fighting for what we believe and wish to be the rights of
mankind and for the future peace and
security of the world. To do this
great thing worthily and successfully
we must devote ourselves to the service without regard to profit or material advantage and with an energy
and intelligence that will rise to the
level of the enterprise itself. W^
must realize to the full how great the
task is and how many things, how
many kinds and elements of capacity
and service and self-sacrifice it involves.
"These, then, are the things we
must do and do well, besides fighting
—the things without which fighting
would be fruitless. We must supply
abundant food for ourselves and for
our armies and our seamen not only,
but for a large part of the nations
with whom we shall be fighting.
Ships by Hundreds Needed to Carry
Food
"We must supply ships by the hundreds out of our shipyards to carry to
the other side oE the sea, submarines
or no submarines, materials out of
our fields and our mines and our factories with which not only to clothe
and equip our own forces on land and
sea, but also to clothe and support
our people for whom the gallant fellows under arms can no longer work,
to, help clothe and equip the armies
with which we are co-operating in
Europe, and to keep the looms and
manufactories there in raw material; coal to keep the fires going in
ships at sea and in hundreds of factories across the sea; steel out of
which to make arms and ammunition
both here and there; rails for worn-
out railways back of the fighting
fronts; locomotives and rolling stock
to take the place of those every day
going to pieces; mules, horses, cattle
for labor and for military service;
everything with which the people of
England and France and Italy and
Russia have usually supplied themselves, but cannot now affprd the
men, the material or the machinery
to make.
Efficiency   Demanded   ol*   Farm   and
Factory
"It is evident to every thinking
man that our industries, on the
farms, in the shipyards, in the mines,
in the factories, must be made more
prolific and more efficient than ever
and that they must be more economically managed and better adapted to

no step that will increase the production of their lan*d or that will bring
about the most effectual co-operation
of their products?
Calls on Young and Old to Turn to
Farming
"The time is short. It is of the
most imperative importance that everything possible be done and done
immediately to make sure of large
harvests. I call upon young men and
old alike and upon* the able-bodied
boys of the land to accept and act
upon this duty—to turn in* hosts to
the farms and make certain that no
pains and no labo* is lacking in this
great matter.
"I particularly appeal to the farmers of the south to plant abundant
foodstuffs as well as cotton. They
can show their patriotism in no better
or more convincing way than by resisting the great temptation of the
present price of cotton and helping,
helping upon a great scale, to feed
the nation and the people everywhere
who aie righting for their liberties
ar.d for our own. The variety of their
crops will be visible' measure of their
comprehension of their national duty.
l"tmo-.'i*:icj's   Chance   to   Prove   Effi-
ckney
"The government of the United
States and the governments of the
several states stand ready to co-operate. They will do everything possible to assist farmers in securing an
adequate supply of seed, an adequate
force of laborers when they are most
needed, at harvest time, and the
means of expediting shipments of fertilizers and farm machinery, as well
as of the crops themselves when harvested. The course of trade shall be
r.s unhampered as it is possible to
make it, and there shall be no unwarranted manipulation of the nation's
food supply by those who handle it
on its way to the consumer. This is
our opportunity to demonstrate the
efficiency of a great democracy and
we shall not fall short of it!
"This, let me say to the middlemen
of every sort, whether they are handling our foodstuffs or our raw materials of manufacture or the products
of our mills and factoiies: The .eyes
of the country will be especially upon
you. This is your opportunity for
signal service, efficient and disinterested.
Middlemen    Urged   to    Forego    Big
Profits
"The country expects you, as it expects all others, to forego unusual
profits, to organize and expedite shipments of supplies of every food, with
an eye to the service you are rendering and in the spirit of those who
enlist in the ranks—for their people,
not for themselves. I shall confidently expect you to deserve and win the
confidence of people of every sort and
station.
"To the men who run the railways
of the country, whether they be managers or operative employes, let me
say that the railways are the arteries
of the nation's life and that upon
them rests the immense responsibility of seeing to it that those arteries
suffer no obstruction of any kind, no
inefficiency or slackened power. To
the merchant let me suggest the
motto: 'Small profits and quick service,' and to the shipbuilder the
thought that the life of the war depends upon. him.
Will Sacrifice Ships to Keep Supplies
Moving
"The food and the war supplies
must be carried across the sejis, no
matter how many ships are sent to
the   bottom.     The   places   of   those
FREE TBC CLIOTCS IN
WASHTENAW COUNTY
Date   of   Saline   Clinic   is   Monday,
April 23, in Tillage Hall.
"Anniversary tuberculosis clinics"
such as are being held in many counties will be conducted, in Washtenaw
county during the last week in April.
They will be under the auspices of
the state board of health tuberculosis
survey and they will be in commemoration of the series of clinics held a
year ago in the county tuberculosis
survey. __
The following schedule has been
arranged: Saline, April 23; Manchester, April 24; Chelsea, April 25;
Whitmore Lake, Apiil 26; Salem,
April 27, and Ann Arbor, April 2S.
These free public examinations will
be from 10 o'clock each morning till
four in the afternoon-; they will include examinations for tuberculosis
and also for defective teeth, tonsils
and adenoids. The cliniics are, however, not alone for children but for all
persons who are physically run down
whether they suspect they have tuberculosis or not. While under the
auspices of the state board of health
the active work of the free clinics
will be taken charge of by the University Hospital Circle of King's
Daughters.
In the schedule given above an attempt is being made to reach as niany
different points throughout the country as is possible in the short space
"•f a week's time. Persons living in
towns" or in rural districts that are
not visited by the state hoard of
health may take advantage of the free
clinics nevertheless by going to the
nearest place where one of the clin-
"cs is conducted. It is an opportunity
fhat comes but seldom, as some of
ihe ablest tuberculosis diagnosticians
will be there' to do the work.
When the original tuberculosis survey was held in Washtenaw county a
vpar ago 424-examinations for tuher-
pnlosis were made. Of this number
110 were "positive" cases. SS "sus-
nicious" and 19 "arrested." Those
examined then will have an onpor-
tnnity to be re-examined this year,
f>nd all others who feel run down can
<=ecure a valuable physical examination free of charge.

tasks than they have been; and what
I want to say is that the men and the
women who devote their thought and
their energy to these things will be
serving the country and conducting
the fight for peace and freedom just
as truly and just as effective as the
men on the battlefield or in the
trenches.
"The industrial forces of the country, men and women alike, will be a
great national, a great international
service army—a notable and honored
host engaged in the service of the
nation and the world, the efficient
friends and saviors everywhere.
Thousands, nay hundreds of thousands, of men otherwise liable to
military service will of right and of
necessity be excused from that service and assigned to the fundamental,
sustaining work of the fields and factories and mines, and they will be as
much part of the great patriotic
forces of the nation as the men under
fire.
Adequate  Food   Supply  Is   Supreme
Need
"I take the liberty, therefore, of
addressing this word to the farmers
of the country and to all who work
on the farms: Tne supreme need of
our own nation ,nnd of the nations
with which we are co-operating is
an abundance of supplies, and especially of foodstuffs. The importance
of an adequate food supply; especially for the present year, is superlative.
Without abundant food, alike for the
armies and peoples now at war, the
whole great enterprise upon which we
have embarked will break down and
fail.
"The world's food reserves are low.
Not only during the present emergency, but for some time after peace
shall have come, both our own people
and a large proportion of the people
of Europe must rely upon the harvests in America. Upon the farmers
of this country, therefore in large
measure, rests the fate of the-war
and the fate of the nations. May the*
nation not count upon them to omit

supplied at once. To the miner let
me say that he stands where the
farmer does. The work of the -world
waits on him. If he slackens or fails,
armies and statesmen are helpless.
He also is enlisted in the great Service Army. The manufacturer does
n'ot need to be told, I hope, that the
nation looks to him to speed and perfect every process; and I want only
to remind his employes that their
service is absolutely indispensable
and is counted on by every man who
loves the country and its liberties.
"Let me suggest also that everyone
who creates or cultivates a garden
"helps and helps greatly to solve the
problem of the feeding of the nations;
and that every housewife who practices strict economy puts herself in
the ranks of those who serve the nation. This is the time for America to
correct her unpardonable fault of
wastefulness and extravagance.. Let
every man and every woman assume
the duty of careful, provident use and
expenditure as a 'public duty, as a
dictate of patriotism which no one
can now expect to be excused or forgiven for ignoring
Plea for Publicity in Press and Pulpit
"In the hope that this statement "of
the needs of the nation and of the
world in this hour of supreme crisis
may stimulate those to whom it comes
and remind all who need reminder of
the solemn duties of a time such as
the world has never seen before, I
beg that all editors and publishers
everywhere will give as prominent
publication and as wide circulation
as possible to this appeal. I venture
to suggest also to all advertising agencies that they would perhaps render a very substantial and timely service to the country if they would give
it widespread repetition. And I hope
that clergymen will not think the
theme of it an unworthy or inappropriate subject of comment and homily
fiom their pulpits.
"The supreme test of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act and
serve together!"
