.MAnE IN GERMANY Z,

ALL the world has read those words
a on Germany's goods Of every
sort.
But not content with the peaceful
conquest Of vast empire of trade,
Germany's Kaiser and his savage crew
Of militarists, are now engaged in a
bloody conquest of the nations, even
bOasting their purpose to subjugate all
the world!
Peaceful Belgium, blooming gar
den spot Of prosperous cities, towns,
and villages, filed with a happy, indus
trious people-turned into wilderness
of ruin and.destruction
One million happy homes in ashes,
and five millions of honest Belgian folk,
old men, women and children, driven
forth shelterless into their devastated
and barren fields and streets, there to
suffer all things-even starvation
Hundreds ofinnocent non-combatants
murdered, or worse, including women
and children slain in their beds by as
sassin bombs dropped in the night time
from ZeppIin airshipsl
Two and a half millions of these
wretched, cruelty wronged Belgians,
fleeing from the torch and sword Of the
merciless invader, seeking exile in
foreign landl
A half dozen. Cathedrals among Eu-
ropes masterpieces Of sacred architec-
ture, together with that famed gem of
loveliness, Notre Dame at Rheims, as
ruthlessly battered and sacked as tho
some fifth century Huns had laid their
barbarous hands upon them!
The magnificent city of Louvain with
its treasures of art and beauty, wan
tonly burned!
Millions of brutal tribute money
under threats of death, laid upon
these despoiled Belgian cities and their
impoverished citizens by the same saw
age Germans who wrought all this de-
vastation!
All Europe turned into one vast war
camp and battlefield, till eleven
millions of armed men are madIy en-
gagged in mutual slaughter aud pillage !
Wars bloody toll already past the
million mark and the awful killing only
begun!
Not millions, but billions Of property
values already wasted and destroyed
and a frightful mortgage of expense
incurred that the next generation may
not be able to meetl
The murderous Turk melted to pro-
claim "Holy War. which means the
indiscriminate butchery by the brutal
Turk, regardless of age or sex, of many
thousands of helpless beings unless the
Allies can defeat the Kaiser's cruel
planI \
Millions of sorrowing parents, widows
and orphans in all lands mourning their
dead!
Disaster, want, disease, famine, fail
ure and loss for all Europe, past gen
eration's power to repair, as the un-
speakable aftermath of this Kaiser's
ambition!
All this HE'LL was "Made in Ger
many!"

There is a diversity of opinion as to
the ~advisahility of blowing I'm winter.
1t. is generally conceded, however,
that sod lands should be pl0wed in the
winter season. The freezing and thaw-
ing of the soil put it i'm much better
condition than il can be put by the
plow and harrow after the spring has
opened.
Winter blowing also destroys many
insects that would damage crops If
they were allowed to live.
There will be much more moisture
laid up in the soil and saved for the
use of the growing crop the next year
If the blowing is done during the win
ter season than there would be if 1t

order houses or from unknown PRO
ducers' they usually get cheated either
in the article or the price paid for it.
The Farm and Fireside comments upon
this sort OF buying thus:
Strawberries by mall Under some
such seductive headline a mar at Worth
ington, Indiana, advertised in the In
dianapolis papers. He offered straw
berries at two dollars a crate of thirty
two boxes, leash to accompany order"
None of the people sending the two dol
lars received any berries, The whole
thing was a wicked swindle.
Probably the persons swindled carry
still some resentment against other
strawberry growers. As a matter of
fact, however, investigation disclosed
the fact that the swindler lived at a
hotel, and after taking his fill of berry
orders disappeared, leaving an unpaid
board bill.
The moral seems to be that not al
who advertise country produce are
farmers, and that selling and buying by
mail calls for mutual acquaintance be.
tween buyer and seller. In the indiana
case a good, honest midjleman woul,
have been a great convenience.

1t is very gratifying that so excellent
an authority as a member of the firm
of Swift. & Co. is quoted. as eXpr ssing
the belief that the impending European
war viii not result in an increase in
the price Of beef. The first impression
in this connection wa naturally that the
war would create a great demand from
the other side for beef, just as it GER
tainly will for wheat and corn. On that
presumption the natural conclusion was
that straight way there would be fur
Their big jumps in the already out
~rageously high prices of meat,
This packer, however, gives it as his
opinion that we will not be called on to
supply the European armies with beef,
and that there is no present indication
that the prices will be seriously af-
fected.
As a matter of fact, Europe isn't 60
ing to eat much meat for some time to
come. Unless the war is averted, beef
and meats of all kinds will very soon
pass out from the general menu Of
Europe altogether. The nations will
not be able to afford them. They will
have all they car do to feed themselves
with less costly foods. Meat is not an
absolute necessity. Rome conquered
the world when she was practically a
vegetarian nation. Millions of Euro
peans are vegetarians now The war
ring nations will have other use for their
resources besides expanding them on
beef.
Wherefore, we shall probably be able
to keep most of u supply Of meats on
this side of the water, and if the prices
are boosted again it will be because
they are boosted. -Brattleboro Re-

HOW TO GET STRENGTH

after any sickness IS purely a matter OF
nourishment, whether the attack was
an ordinary cold or severe illness; the
weakened forces cannot repulse disease
germs, and this is why a relapse is so
often fatal or why chronic weakness often
follows sickness.
Restoring strength to millions of people
for forty years has proven the real need
for taking SCOTS Emulsion after any
sickness; nothing equals it nothing
with it. It's pure, medicinal
nourishment, free from alcohol or opiates,
promptly creates rich blood, strengthens
the nerves and lungs to avert tuberculosis.
