needs.
C. 8. FOOD ADMINISTRATION
Don’t forget to buy a thrift
stamp.
This would be a good time
to include the sheep-killing dog
in the meatless days.
Farmers will soon be afraid
to be seen bringing eggs to
town, for fear of encountering
the income tax collector.
An evangelist says the kais
er and his field marshals will
spend eternity in hell. In that
case Judas Iscariot should start
a petition for a pardon.
According to information re
ceived in Washington, butter is
selling in Berlin at $2.25 a
pound, sugar at 56 cents a
pound, ham and bacon at $2.11
a pound.
The country needs more
sheep, says the Department of
Agriculture. Six farms out of
seven in the United States have
no sheep. Six out of seven have
dogs. Yet, strange as it may
seem, there is more money in
sheep than in dogs.
The Department of Agricul
ture estimates that only one
third of the marketable surplus
of the potato crop had been
moved by January 1, 1918.
Last year’s potato crop was
the largest ever produced in
the United States
Emma Goldman, a noted So
cialist lecturer, whose convic
tion of conspiracy against the
selective draft law was upheld
by the United States Supreme
Court, has been placed in the
penitentiary at Jefferson City,
Mo., to serve a sentence of two
years. Somebody break the
news to Detherow.
Some people pay no atten
tion to government food regu
lations, and refuse to observe
either wheatless or meatless
days- They refuse to buy Thrift
Stamps or Liberty Bonds and
ignore all appeals for help for
the Y. M. C. A. and the Red
Cross, and if any member of
their family happens to be
classified for the first call for
war service, they consider it an
outrage. This would be a great
country indeed if it were made
up entirely of this class of “pa
triots.” Fortunately, however,
there are only a few of this
caliber, and most of Uncle
Sam’s sons and daughters are
ready to rally to his support
not only with their money and
their co-operation but with
their life if needed.
This is our war,and it should
be the chief business of every
loyal man and woman to put
forth every effort to help whip
Germany and her allies just as
soon as possible. 'W e should
leave no stone unturned that
I will enable us to produce enor
< mous crops this year, and at
the same time we should see
to it that nothing is wasted. We
should loan our money to our
Government and thereby help
win the war and at the same
jtime save money.
u SCHOOL NOTES
Today, we are on the thres
hold of two choices. Shall we
; take the right one: love, ser
vice and patriotism, or their
opposite Our choice deter
mines not the success or fail
ure of a factional party, but of
a nation. That nation is the
United States and as Abraham
Lincoln has expressed it. a
house divided against itself
cannot stand. Do you love
your country? If so, speak a
kind word for it. Shall you
serve your country? If so, buy
a Liberty Bond, a Thirft Stamp
or help the Red Cross work.
If you are patriotic learn the
“Star-Spangled Banner” or any
other patriotic song, and be
ready to sing it on all oceas
sions. Songs are inspiring, and
muisc cheers the broken heart,
Salute the flag; we know but
one flag; one hope and one
country'.
Our fight is for Democracy.
We shall never allow the «ac
red principles of our forefath
ers to be trampled beneath the
iron foot of German Imperial
ism. We know not by what
course to be guided but by the
experience of the past. Hu
manity, whose sentiments and
principles are so dear to them,
as ours are to us, is calling.
Can it be, that we are of that
number who having eyes to
see, see not, and having ears,
hear not. France, our ally of
Revolutionary times, and a rad
ical believer of freedom is
pleading. England, our moth
er country and co-worker, is
watchfully waiting. This does
not mean that these countries
do not recognize our entry into
the world war as an invalu
able aid. But it does mean
that nearly all the food supply
from which they have to draw,
is in the United States.
It has been said that the peo
ple of the U. S. are the most
luxurious and extravagant on
the face of the globe. Let us
suffer this not to be so. It will
prove a snare to our feet. Is
sacrifice so dear, as to be
bought at the price of govern
ment control. Sacrifice has
been thus defined: “For a glor
ious cause, I give this, which 1
can willingly do without”
When our meatless, wheatless,
and sweetless days come
around, let us think of this.
It would be well to do, as ad
vised by the Food Administra
tion Bureau. Cards are sent
out by, this Bureau on which
you can state what you will do
in this nation-wide campaign.
We are not groping blindly in
the darkness. Who is it that
will or cannot profit by the
examples and experiences of
others. It is not Uncle Sam.
Look back upon the past of
France and England. Every
one knows the consequences.
Let us be awake. Every mov
ment made by the Government
should not be hampered by our
near sightedness or incapability
of looking into the future.
The food that is intended to
be conserved, is the most ener
gy producing to our soldiers.
A well fed horse is most ener
getic; this can be applied to
our soldiers as well Let u*
show that we believe it. by our
actions. Join in with the rest;
the army of conservers art'
marching to victory. Always
have this as your motto :I know
but one country and one flag.
My country shall always be
right, but right or wrong, my
country.

Granny’s Talk to Young Mothers
“Cranny” Chamberlain ‘‘Few young mothers realize the extent to
which a cold lowers the system and makes it susceptible to con
tagious diseases. It has been proven that the majority of diseases
arise from germs, but it is not widely known that a healthy sys
tem will repel their attacks.
Mothers should never allow a cold to run for twenty-four
hours without attention. If this is made a rule there will be less
sickness for young mothers to worry over. A good reliable med
icine for coughs, colds, croup and bronchitis should always be
kept in the home where there are children. You may say that
you have no confidence in cough medicines, but that is because
you have never tried
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
This medicine is thoroughly reliable and has stood the test of
nearly half a century. No, it will not hurt the children—there is
nothing in it that would even injure the baby."
pretty near a couple o’ miles

go.”
“That’s nothing,” said the
Canadian. “I was out on my
farm one day about fifty miles
from the house, when a fright
ful stoim came up- I turned
the pony’s head toward home,
and he raced the storm so close
for the last ten miles I didn’t
feel a drop. On the other
hand, my dog, only ten yards
behind, had to swim the whole
distance!”
