War Depends On Spuds.
ed Press Service.

United Press SerVlce.
 Berlin, Oct. 16. (By mail to New York. )-Should the Euro pean war continue indefinitely, Germany's ability to keep up the fight will be largely question of spuds. The Fatherland has not had enough potatoes on hand to permit protracted war.
 Statistics just gathered by the commissary department of the army place this years crop at 5O0,0OO,OO0 bushels somewhat less than last years yield. Of this amount 60,000,000 bu. will have to be set aside for seed, an- other 5O,OOO,O00 is imperative for commercial uses, 45,000,OO0 bu. must be counted upon as spelling, while 160,000,O00 bus. must be used as food for ami mals. This leaves only 13O,OOO,- 1000 bu. for food. This amount has never sufficed in the past and it has always been necessary to import heavily in order to supply the German population with this important element of food.
 Unless the war ends before the supply now on hand is ex- hausted, "spuds" may become a determining factor in the final result of the conflict.

Fine Character Sketches.

There are many bits of excel lent character drawing in "The Shepherd of the Hills, the dra- matization of Harold Bell Wright's most widely read novel, which comes to the opera house for it's first annual engagement Thursday night, November 5.
 It is a beautiful play filled with tears and laughter, one cannot help laughing or crying by turns if his heart is right. The peo- pie that move within it are so human that the auditor will pick them out for like and dislike as if he had really known them in flesh, rather than on the boards of the stage.

A Wholesome Play.

A wholesome play, whose au- thor seems to have equal love for nature and humanity and an intimate knowledge of both, is "The Shepherd of the Hills, " the dramatization of Harold Bell Wright's famous novel, which has been made by MT. Wright with the assistance of Elsbery w. Reynolds.
 The ''hills," the beautiful Ozarks, and against this majes- tic lay background the author has sketched the tenderest tale of love, the most appealing sto- ry of nature. Though the peace of the mighty hills pervades the drama, it's acts are tense with deeds of daring that demand both physical and moral courage.
 "The Shepherd of the Hills will be the attraction at the op- era house Thursday night, No vember 5th, and judging from the favorable impression it left last season, the present engage ment should prove another re- cord-breaker.

Election Vote Light.

The national election of Tues day attracted little interest To- cally and it was a hard matter to secure election officers for the two precincts. The public spir- tied citizens, who served were:
 First Ward-J. w. Shuford, R. c. Wallace, Nollie Kinman judges; w. J. Crossland and C.. J. Saenger Clerks.
 Second Ward-R. c. Harder G. w. Huff, Fred Jones judges i; John Umsted and Ben White clerks.
 There were only three names upon the ballots, Jas. P. Clarke and Harry Myers for Senator and w. A. Oldfield for congress man, which makes the counting of the vote an easy task soon completed after the closing of the polls.

The Shepherd of The Hills.

"The Shepherd of the Hills" a dramatization of Harold Bell Wright's "best seller" will be the attraction at the opera house Thursday night November 5th.
 This story of the Ozark moun- tains has proved very popular in novel form and as a play it is said that it's success last sea- son has exceeded the popularity of the book.
 Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty, the producers, have given it a very beautiful scenic mounting, the mountains of the Ozarks lending themselves to the best in the scenic artists art. The cast has been carefully selected, in fact, it is said to be unique in the matter of types.

there was no formal expression from adj

known that President Wilson and Secre-

mia
The House of Representatives Monday

my COUNTRYMEN. !"

Washington, Aug. 18 Addressing "My
Countrymen, President Wilson today is
sued long statement calling upon citi.
zens OF the United States to confine their
speech In the spirit Of strict neutrality.
The presidents statement says:
My fellow counirymen, / suppose
every thoughtful man in America has
asked himself during the last few weeks
what influence the European war may
exert upon the United States and / take
the liberty OF addressing few words to
you in order to point out it 10 entirely
within our choice. what les effect will be
and TO urge very earnestly the sort OF
speech and conduct which will safeguard
the nation against distress and disaster.
1.-THE effect OF the war on the United
Statesswill depend on what Americans
say and doubtless every man VINO loves
America will speak with the true spirit
Of true neutrality which ls spirit Of i'm
partIality for all concerned
"rhe spirit Of the nation in this criti-
cal matter will be largely determined by
what individuals and societies say upon
it; how newspapers and magazines com
ment upon il; what ministers utter in the
pulpit and what men utter on the streets.
1.-THE people Of the United States are
drawn from many nations and chiefly
from the nations at war 1t is natural
and inevitable there must be the utmost
variety Of sympathy. 1t will be easy to
excite passion and difficult to alIay it.
81 venture, therefore my fellow coun-
trymeu, to epeak "a solemn warning to
you against that most subtle violation Of
neutrality which may spring out OF parti-
sansbip; out Of passionately taking sides
The United States must be neutral il
fact as well as name in these days thai
are to try mems souls.
we must be impartial in thought AZ
well as action. We must put a curb:ou
our sentiments as we'll as on every trans
action as may be construed as prefer
ence OF one party to another"
