THE FIGHT TO A FINISH.

LloydGeorge's declaration that the must be fought finish" hardly needed to convince any intelligent observer of the futiy of peace at this time It is perfectly evident that the Allies to fight it to definite conclusion-that they have the will, the and the money It would, Loyd-Ge be absurd for them quitting be- fore their purpose attained after such invest ment' of life and treasure.
 Germany is not yet humbed scared that she is disposed beg for peace There from Berlin only the solemn twadde about the forced on Germany" only chattering persecution" by relentless foes and the parrotke pleas of self defense" The only difference is that instead of bold, aggressive exhortatons stand gether
 Germany is now, enough rnged about by enemies bent her destruction What long existed only in German imagination has actually come to direct result of Germanys action Her predicament is in deed precarious But all the in such plight should expect signs of awakening in the German nation Few signs appear There discomfort and the beginning of quest for the truth ought have begun years ago. but the mtarists still have the upper hand the nation through bitter defeat instead of learning by the free of it's intellect
 The German nation has been the dupe, doubt of the war lords It is hard that the sins of the war should be visited bitterly upon the people; but only so it appears justice be done and the worlds fu ture peace assured.
 The United States, at any rate cannot "butt in" We must let them fight Our mission is rather help reconstruction and promote the building of able worldfederation Therein lies the highest oppor tunity open to American statesmanship

 'Tu show you, sir" interposes a third. Tt is an under the water, with snug nose, and has

FARMERS NEGLECTED
 BY THE REPUBLICANS
But Democrats Quickly Gave
 Them Rural Credits.

Don't forget, Mir. Farmer, that through your Farmers National Con greSs. National Grange, National Farm CTS Union, American Society of Equity and similar organizations you have for years demanded and have importuned Republican administrations for legisla- ton you needed.
 What did you get?
 Through ali the years since 1864 the Republican party was deaf and blind to the farmers financial needs, this in the face of the fact that successful sys tems Of rural credits were in operation throushout Europe for century. When this great Democratic measure Was put to vote in the senate on May {. 1916. only five Republicans dared vote against it. Three of them were on the subcommittee who wrote the Repub- lican platform of 1916.
 Was it because you were not Big In terests: You were, many of you, high ly financed, and High Finance held the mortgage, and to that extent you be- Ionged to High Finance. But you paid big interest to associate with Big h. terests A stack of wheat wasn't as good collateral as n sheaf of scraps of paper held by a stock gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses of the Repub- lican party caTe to give you financial justice. They were too busy protect ing" themselves.

 The Republican party refused to do these things. which the prosperity of the American farmer required.

WESTERN CANADA
Cooperative Creameries Snow
Tremendous Increase IN
Butter Production.

The Dairy Commissioner, at hrst an
nual convention Of Saskatchewan
Dairymen's association. reviewed pro-
gress of 1915 which shows great IN
crease In the butter production OF the
cooperative creameries amounting 10
1.5OO, 600 lbs. He also said the I'M
provement In quality Is shown by tna
preference accorded Saskatchewan
butter In outside markets. Shipments
out of the province for the year to-
tailed 52 carloads.
According to bulletin Just issued by
the Manitoba department OF agricui'
ture. the dairy industry had a very
successful year in 1915. There was an
increase Of over 1000 900 lbs. of cream
cry butter produced, as against the
previous year, about 100000 lbs. In
crease in dairy butter and over 25,OOO
lbs. increase In the cheese output. The
increase Of the total value Of milk and
milk products was over $4,000. The
production of dairy butter for Mani
toba during the year was ALSO, a. lbs.
and 1t brought an average price OF &c
per lb. of creamery butter 5,839,667
lbs. were produced which commanded
zoe per lib. on the average; cheese pro-
duction was 726. 725 lbs. which sold at
an average price Of 15c-the total
value of these three products Is given
as 81, 76O, sos, In addition to which the
milk produced Is valued at $525,659
and the cream at $15S,s27, the average
price of the milk being reckoned at
2.1c per lb. and Of sweet cream at &c
per Id. butter-fat. In connection with
the dairy industry 1t Is interesting to
note that almost the most important
fodder crop now Is corn, Of which the
1915 production amounted to 100, 132
tons. The biggest cultivated fodder
crop Is timothy which for last season
produced 193,357 tons and the next
most popular crop was bronze grass
with 1876 tons; Of alfalfa and clover
there were produced some $4,000 tons.
The number of cattle in the province
is given as 631 ,005, which Is an in
crease of 10000 over the previous
year.
The fact that the Red Deer, Alberta,
cheese factory Is handling four times
as much milk this season as last win
ter shows the growing improvement In
the dairy industry. On Feb. H. 1t was
announced the factory had just
shipped two tons of cheese for Calgary
market.
Cardston, Alberta. creamery In 1915
paid its patrons a rate of 271ac per
10. for butter fat and had a profit re-
naming over all expenses of $5,5S4.
The creamery during season distrib-
uted among farmers $61 lit and manu-
featured $4,000 lbs. butter and $4,000
lbs. cheese. Average price realized for
butter was 2SA cents.
The development of the dairy indus
try of Northern Alberta Is well indi-
Gated by the growth Of prominent
dairy business here which in 1915 pro-
duced 2,525.0 600 lbs. butter, an increase
of 100000 lbs. over the previous year.
This product has found market In all
parts of Canada and this year will en-

Portland, Me-, Aug. 9.-Every point

sharply for two submarines, believed
to be foreign vessels and possibly the

The strange vessels were reported
four miles off Cross island, near Ma
chias, and close to Canadian waters
by coast guard lookout, who said
they were proceeding at top speed

Later a thick fog made observation
impossible.
Tho lookout, Lowell w. Dunn, was

1t was suggested that tug towing
a whaleback vessel might have ac-
counted for the statement of Dunn.
Both Of them. 1t was argued, might
have been lost to view In the fog and
not because they had submerged.
The Navy department announced
that no American submarines were off
the Maine coast.
Information that no British subma-
rines were cruising in these waters
seems to create the impression in the
the Bremen was lodging about close
to the three.mile limit. preparing to

considered was that the coast guard
