about the place are several wasonloads
of rocks for which I cannot figure any

could float the tree trunks down the creek

water now for that But now that we
have Bill" there will be no trouble on

To Stock Pond With Bass.

The boys are planning to ask Director
Smith Of the bureau Of fisheries. for big
mouth bass with which to stock their
pond. l am not counting that among the
practical benefits of building the dam, but
1t would be mighty fine to go out and
catch q mess of bass without having to
go of our own place Years ago 1 used
to do a good deal of bass fishing. One

ton of sweet milk and cherry pie, fol-
lowing onions, radishes and strawberry
shortcake, she declared, would be plain
murder. But cherries are ripe and we
want every possible home product on the
table. Those who eat the pie needn't
drink milk, or they can have buttermilk.
And If they're afraid to eat the pie they
can be merely introduced and wen save
it for next day. That would be satisfac-
tory to ME. for We don't often have pie
at our house. I'm very fond of pies. but
Jane thinks they are not good for the d.
gestion. So l have to get my pie at the
lunch counters, though I am supposed to
lunch on crackers and milk or something
equally innocuous.
From the amount of space I have
assumed that I am laboring under the
impression that we are the only people
who will have dinner tomorrow, and that
all the world is interested In what we
are going to eat. But don't you see that
just plain "eatings." as Uncle Joe Can
non says? It is an epochal banquet, a
feast Of triumph. proving that a gov
ernment clerk can go back to the soil
and produce things to eat.
We are not claiming that 1t is evidence
that We have solved the high cost Of liv-
ing for have no doubt that what we eat
tomorrow will have cost more than if we
had bought it in the Washington mar
kets. But it doesn't follow that this will
always be true. We are just beginning
to realize on our work and expenditure.
When you make an investment you don't
expect to get back your entire principal
with a profit at the first interest period.
Suppose my radishes have cost me a cent

Cow a Good Investment.

The COW is the one investment that we
are realizing a profit on right from the
start. Jane sells two pounds Of unsalt-
ed butter a week at 80 cents a pound
and neighbor who doesn't keep a COW
sends twice q day for a quart of milk
paying cents a quart. This brings a
cash income of $2-9S a week, which con-
s1derably more than pays for the cow s

all the milk and butter we need on our

LORD KITCHENER URGES ENGLAND ID
 BE PREPARED ID
 MAKE SACRIFICES
Congratulate Our Troops, 7 Declares War Minister 1; We Are Proud of Them" :" Outlines Situation

London, August 25.-(5:22 p. m.) Lord Kitchener made his first speech as minister of war in the House of Lords today. He told his hearers that this war undoubtedly would strain the forces of the empire and entail big sacrifices. He lay stress on the fact that his position in the cabinet in- yolved adherence to neither party.
 He continued:
 "The terms on which I am serving are the same as those under which some of the finest portions of our manhood, now so willingly stepping forward to join the colors, are engag- ing. That is to say my term of office is for the duration of the war, or for three years, if the war should last longer than that.
 Tt has been asked why this period has been limited. 1t is because If this disastrous war be prolonged, and no one can foresee for a certainty it's dur ation, that after three years of war. others will take our places and see this Platter through.
 There will be serious conflicts which undoubtedly will strain the forces of our empire and undoubtedly consider able sacrifice to our people will be en- tailed. These will be willingly borne for our preservation in the world posi- tion and our honor and they will be spared by our dominions. who are now sending contihsents and giving assist ance of every kind to the mother coun- try.
 Our expeditionary force has taken the field on the French north north vest frontier and advanced in the vi cinity of Mons, Belgium.
 In Contact With Germans
 "Our troops already have been for 36 foufs in contact with the superior forces of the German invaders
 "In that time they maintained the best traditions of the British soldier and behaved with the utmost gallantry
 "The movements they have been c;lleu upon tO execute nave been those which demanded the greatest steadiness of q soldier and skill in the command ers.''
 Lord Kitchener alluded to Premier Asquith's statement in the House of Commons that the British troops had greatly aided the French and had been able to maintain their positions in the force reading as follows:
 The speaker said ne had sent tel egram to Sir John trench. the com n.ander of the British expeditionary force, reading asc follows:
 .Congratulate the troops on their splendid work We are proud df them ' Lord Kitchener. continuing. pointed ort that the fighting in Europe would result in greater casualties than the campaigns Great Britain usually was engaged in.
 Prepared for Sacrifices
 He said he was certain the public vas fully prepared to meet whatever losses and sacrifices the country might have to face and he paid d glowing tri-. bnte to the readiness of the expedi- tiorary force and the invaluable aid of the press and public in preserving silence and accepting the novel situ- alton.
