buy less abroad and have more to sell. In
the pioneer days our people were self
supporting, and while no one would adj
wise returning to the privations and toll
of early days, something may be learned
from them. The European war has
shown US that We have been importing
many things that could be made or pro-
duced at home and thus furnish employ
ment to our own people. Our imports
have included eggs from China and other
foreign countries, butter from Australia,
post cards, souvenir china and hundreds
of other articles made in Germany"
Our fertilizer manufacturers have been
dependent on Germany for potash, but it
is found thatlt important ingredient in
commercial fertilizer may be produced
at home. And so with many other arti-
ces of necessity or luxury. We have
even imported potatoes although today
they are selling at less than the cost of
production. OF course our farmers and
manufacturers are handicapped today by
the Democratic tariff; but the next Con-
gress will rectify that and the country
will enter upon a new era of prosperity.

The Kaiser says he didn't want this
war. Of course not. 1t was an entirely
different war that he had been preparing
for in the past twenty five years. That
war was to be practically unopposed

the Russian bear was to be hamstrung,
Then, at his convenience, the Kaiser
would subjuga'e the rest of Europe, re-
duce Great Britain to vassalage, and
perhaps send his victorious armies over
seas. No, this war may yet cause the
entire civilized world to take up arms
against Germany, and as it is can only
end in her defeat. L is not the war the
Kaiser wanted.

surplus crop. In Arkansas, and in Texas,
Mississippi and Louisiana, Statewide
educational campaigns have begun. In

year for the purchase of food products.
This amount was $11, 900, 900 more than
the Arkansas cotton crop brought in
1913. A careful analysis of statistics
showed that Texas was sending $780,,
100000 annually to northern and eastern
markets for feed and food products. 1t
was found that if every farmer in Texas
had few chickens on his farm and mark

That's the Wa, You Use Hyomei. the Safe
Catarh Remedy.

The most pleasant. easiest, harmless. and
the really sensible method for the cure of ca
tarrh is Hyomei. which can be had from any
drug store. Just put twenty drops of the liquid
in the smaller inhaler that comes with every
complete outft-then breathe it. few min.
utes' use almost instantly clears the head and
stops that annoying sni fling.
When using Hyomei every particle Of air
that enters the breathing organs is charged
with an antiseptic. healing balsam that destroys
the catarrh germs. stops the uuclean discharges
from the nose. relieves the irritation and
quickly heals the sore and inflamed tissues.
The first days use Of Hyomei will show de-
cided improvement. no matter how dist ressinR
the trouble.
Catarrh, which usually begins with neglected
cold, often becomes very serious ailnent. so
don't wait but start using Byomei today-it is
inexpensive and A. A. Howes & Co. always sell
it on the "No-cure-no-pay" plan.
