his cold gray eye upon her and re-

The poor girl never came back.
It was his thirteen years campaign
in the Soudan which won Kitchener
his elevation to the peerage, money
grant of a million dollars and his SUI
preme place in the affections of the
British public and the British SOL
diers. The enemy he conquered was
no easy foe.
Tommy Atkins respect for the
Soudanese fighter was expressed in
KpIng's poem, Fuzzy Wuzzy':
you're poor, benighted heather,
but first-class fightin' man"
Grimly, resolutely, Kitchener pur-
sued the khalifa and his fanatic
hordes, laying a railroad through the
desert as he advanced until at last he
met and defeated him in the great
battle of Omdurman, killing 1900 in
one day. He finished his job by blow
ing up the sacred tomb of the mahdi,
scattering the prophets bones over
the desert sands. In England he was
much criticized for this action, which
Kitchener explained by saying:
my instructions were to destroy
the enemy. I destroyed also the rest
ing place of the false prophet, for the
war in the SoUdan was a war of re-
ligiOus fanaticism, and so long as that
tomb remained it would have been a
raIlying point for rebellion"

of battles, he seeks tranquility of gar

THE WILKERSON DUST PROBE

THE WILKERSON GUST PROBE
Comes a report from Washington
that Dist Atty WilkersOn is going to
have a warm session before the SEN
ate judiciary subcommittee tOmor-
row.
The Subcommittee is inquiring in
to his removal and the appointment
of Charles F. Clyne in his place.
Clyne was appointed on the re-
quest of Sen. Ham Lewis. Clyne was
one of the men who worked for Lewis
in the Illinois legislature.
It has been charged by Wilkerson's
friends that he was removed on ac-
count of the numerous probes of Big
Business he has begun.
His latest" offense appears to
have been the investigation into the
high cost of living. The subcOmmit-
tee plans to make it warm for him on
account of a number of interviews he
is accused of having given out, in
which he told about the Standard Oil
Co. data which is said to be buried

THE HOME" PAPER.

The home newspaper + the
most interesting reading matter
one can obtain. There is moth
ing else like it.
Next to a letter, the home
newspaper is the most entertain
ing thing in the world for one To-
Gated in a distant city, it is just
as interesting while we are at
home, although we are not wont
to appreciate this fact, it is over
looked because it has become a
part of our daily life, just as
much so as the allotted three
meals a day.
No one who forms the habit of
reading the home newspaper will
ever give it up. No one is will
ing to miss the pleasures thus
derived. No one is willing to
deprive himself of the intimate
knowledge of his neighbors' sue
cess and failures, joys and sor-
rows, trails and tribulati ms.
There is no other medium
that can take the place of the
home newspaper. Aside from
giving the news of the whole
world, it gives US something that
can be obtained nowhere else. It
gives US all the. little incidents in
the daily life of our friends and
neighbors, of those people we go
through life with, arm in arm. 1t
tells of their progress. 1t tells
Of their social life. 1t tells of the
weddings, parties, clubs, church
societies, etc. 1t tells who is visit
ing. 1t tells who is sick and
heralds their recovery.
These little personal items
create a home newspaper. These
little facts about the people we
elbow through life with are far
more interesting than some big
story" from a distant city. This
is what makes the home news
paper.
Can you afford to be without it
for only a few cents week?

fighting strength, and Austria
seems to be gathering anew her
strength despite the attacks de-
livered by the Russians and Ser
ivans. No great portionsof Aus
trials territory is yet occupied by
the Russians, and Austria may
hardly be expected to sue for
peace as long as the armies of
her great ally are intact, and,
while the Germans have been
pushed back from their advanced
positions in front of Paris, their
armies have been no more DECEIVE
ly defeated than were those of
the allies during the smashing
advance of that famous German
right wing.
1t is difficult to see how either
side in the titanic combat afford
to quit until the over whelming
superiority of the enemy has been
demonstrated. The establish
ment of peace now, even without
the payment Of indemnities and
any change in boundary lines
would leave absolutely unsettled
every issue involved in the strug-
gle. The powers would take up
anew the race for naval and mill
tary supremacy and year after
year billions of dollars would go
toward the support of the spirit
of militarism, with the evitable
result that an ever geaterstruggle
would be the result.
1t is very doubtful whether it
would be for the good of Europe
and the world to bring the war to
an end at this stage, because
nothing would be settled. It
would be better to fight it out now
than to have it renewed a few
years hence. Hundreds of
thousands of lives may be sacri-
feed, but the sacrifice will not
have been in vain if it results in
enduring peace and happiness to
million of men and women for
years. even centuries, that are to
come, = Huntington Advertiser.

Despite the suggestion that is
made now and then it is yet too
early to hope for peace in Europe.
The war has not yet been fought
out. The contending nations have
not exhausted their resources.

chilled by six weeks Of even such
a terrible conflict.

The advice commonly given in pouf-

cleaning of a chicken house as in the
cleaning of a kitchen. Such advice
may be suitable for the city poultry
fanciers, but some Of it is out of place
when given to the farmer. Poultry

work. must pay for the labor put into

gestions Of the theoretical poultry

at n feed and timothy hay and oars
at the next, if such feeds are availa-
bic. Years ago feeling the livestock
on the farm was solely a physical
task, but now we find that it requires
a good deal of mental labor if the
work is properly performed; and be-
cause of the mental activity required
it may become a source of pleasure.
One thing should never be lost sight
of during the winter and that is the
manure should be hauled out as fast
as it is made and applied to the land.
This is M of the ~by-products of stock
feeding and can be made a source of
great profit if properly handled. A
part of the winter should b. spent es-
pecially some part of the long nights,
in gaining knowledge that will make
Us more efficient next season. l. is
the time for reinforcing our mental
powers SO that we may be able TO do
rotation Of crops, and these off days
afford US an opportunity to do this
work. 1t will also be a good time to
take an inventory of our business and
if we have been doing this annually,
as we should, then we will know
whether the past year has been a pro-
itable one to US from a financial
standpoint. We will have time to
study livestock and determine
whether we are keeping the kind best
adapted to our farm and markets.
This should be the busiest winter we
have ever had, not on account OF so
much manual labor performed, but
because of our large mental activi-
ties. If we do not come out in the
spring much stronger mentally than
we are now we have not measured
up to our possibilities.
