The people of the United States do
not by any manner of means wish to
become involved IN the European war.
Every one is trusting to the wisdom
and foresight of Washington to keep us
out of the war.
To do that Will require much fore
bearance and care. The average citi-
zen can know little of the real inside
facts at the critical moment and it
would be the course CT wisdom and
true patriotism to support President
Wilson and not be eternally complain
ing of the way matters are run at
Washington touching the war;
Encourage rather than criticize the
administration and you will be acting
the part of reasonable citizen. Don't
get the mouth disease.

BOYS CORN CLUB.

Why not have boys corn club in
this county this year. 1t would open
the eyes of some of the older men to
see how far behind the boys would
leave them.
Some will say this is not gram
country and corn clubs cannot be ex-
pected to amount to much. That is
where the mistake comes in. When we
remember that 100 bushels OF corn
have actually been grown on an acre in
this county and that quite number OF
farmers actually grew fifty or more
bushels to the acre last year without
any specify big preparation, it will be
readily seen that corn clubs are just as
feasible here as anywhere.
Besides there is nothing that will
more rapidly bring this section to the
attention of the surrounding section
and to distant parts of the country also
as to show concluslvely that we can.
grow at least all the corn we need for
home use at profitable rate.
Every farmer in the county should
plan to grow all the grain he needs for
home use and never rest satisfied until
he has reached that object. 1t is rank
folly to claim that we cannot grow
what grain we need for home use when
each year sees more farmers doing that
very thing.
What we need in this mountain sec
ton more than any other one thing is
an influx of people. In no way can we
get them so quickly or so surely as by
demonstrating the possibilities of this
section in growing the grain needed for
home consumption. 1t can be done be-
cause it is being done each year. More
farmers could do it if they would give
greater attention to the best methods
for reaching that end

in nis closing speech in congress said
the Germans in this country would
stand first and last for America even
against Germany, but he was far from
liking the attitude of England and
thinks the United States is not taking
just the proper stand in the matter of
shipping arms and ammunition to the
allies. There are others who are in
sympathy with Mr.. Barthold while
there is some very strong argument to
sustain the course followed by Wash
ington. Even the best international
lawyers will some times disagree and
this is liable to be one of the cases in
point.

While the custer bill is good as far
as 1t goes, there seems to be something
lacking yet. In some instances courts
have ruled that clubs that dispense
whiskey to their members are within
the law.
1t is chilly time when the whiskey
forces cannot influence some Judge to
twist the law favorable to John Bar
leycorn. 1t would seem that there is
an act needed that specifically specifies
clubs and all such organizations as be-
ing law violators when they either dis
pense or allow whiskey to be kept or
drunk in the rooms of the club.
They may evade the law for while
through the elastic conscience of some
judge, but the final result will be that
the sale or dispensing of intoxicants
will cease.

The claim has been made by govern
ment heads of departments that the
visible meat supply of the country is
not sufficient to supply the coming de-
mand. When the statement was first
made it had tendency to cause many
persons to feel that meat would likely
go SO high as to make it almost as
much of luxury in this country as it
has been for many years in European
countries. More recent reports have
had tendency to very much allay that
fear as the claim is made that no such
danger faces this nation, but it is ad-
mited that there is strong probability
of considerable increase in the cost
OF meat at no very distant time.
There is very encouraging feature
connected with this so far as the people
of this section are concerned. 1t GER
tainly means that the price of live
stock is almost sure to go to slightly
higher levels than in the past. With
the practically assured continuance OF
the European war for year or longer,
the outlook for good profits from live
stock for the stock raisers of this Sec
ton may be considered excellent.
Considering the question from every
point possible there seems to be no Wis
ible reason for live stock shrinking in
price within year if at all. For that
reason our farmers have followed a
very wise course in keeping their cows
further inquiry we are more certain
than ever that the number of calves
this year will be greater than ever
known before in this county. That
means greater prosperity for all.

The Progressive Farmer is stressing
the slogan: Food and Feed First. 1"
We believe the farmers and people
generally of this county are awake to
that thought now as never before and
they realize its Importance as never
before.
Because they realize the great i'm
portance of food and feed and the as
surance that the demand for those
products is sure to be greater the COM
ing season than the oldest citizen has
ever before known, we believe this
county Will produce the most bountltul
crop this year ever knwon.
We believe this can be done in spite
Of weather conditions or in spite Of any
weather conditions that we are likely
to have. Our people have learned
many valuable lessons the past two
years and next fall is almost sure to

the numerous items that make up the
living OF your family and see just how
many of those items you buy and how
many you produce at home? 1t would
be time we'll spent to do SO.
Then remember this: What you do not
produce you have to buy and you must
get the money some way to buy. Do
you know how you get the money to
buy what you have to buy? Study the
question and see if there are not sever
al things you buy that you can raise
for less money than you are paying for
them. If so, why not raise them and
put the difference to your bank &C
count? That is the sure road to pros
perity.
Now is the best time to take that in
ventory because this is the best time to
begin to arrange for growing more
things you buy than at any other sea-
son of the year.

WILL IT PAY?

We learn that in many parts OF the
cotton country plans are on foot to re-
duce the cotton crop this year by plant
ing many acres to potatoes. If this be
true 1t might be wise for our farmers
not to go too heavy into growing pota-
toes. 1t is all right to grow all you
will need tor home use and few to
spare, but the potato as money crop
promises not to prove profitable this
year.
If the war keeps up the demand for
meat. gram and beans will continue
heavy. Would it not be best to think
a little and put in more beans, raise
more lambs and feed the calves better
and at the same time produce all the
roughness possible to feed the live
stock rather than to go in too deep on
the potato question this year? 1t is
worth considering to say the least.

the first act II seemed to me that I'd
known her all my life and by the time
the third act rolled around 1t was per-
fectly natural to go around to the stage
entrance and tell her how much better
she was looking than the last time I
had seen her. Also to elicit some little
information as to her history and am
bitions.
The answers to questions Of this sort
were that Arizona and New Mexico were
the only two States she has never
visited. Just how she escaped she
couldn't tell But the fact remains that
they are still terra incognito. as the
diplomats would say. The habit of say
ing things in that way is what supplied
the dip to diplomat. II is understood.
This much information regarding Miss
Bauer was obtained however. She hasn't
been on the stage any longer than she
looks-and that isn't so very long. She
has always been an admirer Of Bessie
Clayton and as a little girl practiced
dancing as she saw Miss Clayton dance.
She believes that toe dancing Is going
