There is no getting away from

To Avoid War.


AS l have said again and again, and
as 1 cannot too otter repeat 1 advo-
cate this preparedness as a means to
secure peace and to avoid war. A
good mother wrote me the other day
that she feared preparedness because
she did not wish her boys ito go up
against the cannon" Now, the one
perfectly certain method of insuring
that her boys and all the other boys
in this country shall "go up against
the cannon" is to persuade foreign
powers that they can attack us with
impunity, because our mothers have
refused to let their boys be trained
efficiently. 1 abhor unjust and wan
ton war More than that if there
were a great war my sons would go,
and probably all my young kinsfolk
would go. If the war became serious
enough. I would have to go. 1t would
be the bitterest grief to me to see my
sons go, as every father here will un-
derstand. All that 1 honorably could
do would be done to help keep this
country out of war, so that my sons
would not have TO CO. But 1 would
far rather have them go than have
them ctay at home under conditions
which would make their children
ashamed of them and ashamed of be-
ing Americans
Our foreign policy should be man

such waste and such blood-spilling
more than 1 do. The most lamsntable
of all the tragedies connected with
blood-spilling is the spilling of the
blood of brave men too late to secure
the end for which the blood is split
Under such conditions there is no
chance of triumph; the dreadful
choice is between dying hopelessly
for the right and yielding abjectly to
triumphant iniquity May we so act in
the present that neither we ourselves
nor our children's children shall ever
in the future have to face so evil an
alternative. We wish to secure peace
both for ourselves and for others To
do so we must be both strong and
just; for weakness invites injustice at
its own expense and is poWerless to
ward off injustice from others. L ask
you TO prepare so that we may secure
peace for ourselves and for others, not
the peace of cowardice nor the peace
of selfishness. but the peace OF right
eousness and of justice. the peace OF
brave men pledged to the service Of
this mighty democratic republic. and
through that service pledged also to
the service of the world at large.

Service to Country.

I speak for military preparedness.
L speak for industrial preparedness.
1 speak for the performance of inter
national duty, which can only come
when we fit ourselves to do our duty
to ourselves. and when we have made
up our minds never to make a promise
to any other nation which cannot be
kept, which ought not to be kept, and
which will not be kept. I speak of all
this in the interest of national unity
and manhood, of international peace,
and of the service of our country and
of the world at large. 1t is our duty to
secure justice and well-being at home;
but we live in a FOOLS paradise if we
think that we shall be permitted to
secure such justice and well-being, as
the world now is, unless we are pre-
pared to hold our own against all alien
enemies L appeal to Americans ev-
erywhere, to stand against the Grass
materialism which can show itself just
as much in peace as in war. | appeal
to our people to prepare in advance
so that there shall be no hideous emer-
gency which renders it necessary to
submit to inordinate profit-making

1t was fitting that the Business
Mems club should desire to do
something worth while, to commem-
crate their last meeting of 1916,
which happened to fall on Dec. Is.
The club invited all clubs and
churches to cooperate in preparing
for community Christmas cele-
bration, and all responded heartily
through their committees, all of
whom should receive the thanks of
the entire community for their eff
ficient service,
AS the high school building has
rightly become the center of our So
cial life, beautiful Christmas tree
was planted and lighted upon the
school grounds as an invitation by,
and introduction to, the spirit of
Santa Claus who ruled inside The
standing, as well as seating capac-
ity of the auditorium, was filled to
overlooking, to listen to an excel
lent program, consisting of Christ
mas hymns and anthems sung by a
community choir under the leader
ship of Miss Leonard and Mr. COch-
ran. While all selections were most
enjoyable, especial mention should
be made of the rendition of Franz
Gruber's Holy Night" Silent
Night!'' in the original German. AS
Mayor Haberstroh, who appropri-
ately presided at the meeting, said,
it was peculiarly childrens night,
so a Junior organization from each
of the four churches assisted in the
festivities, by rendering sweet
Christmas carols or performing
dainty German folk dances, all of
which were most commercially ex-
ecuted, demonstrating also the abil-
ity of their instructors. The beau
tiful decorations about the stage
emphasized the thought of the oc-
casion, as did also the booths in

ALFALFA, BACK

The increasing demand for alfal-
fs, with corresponding increase OF
price, has made this one Of the
most profitable crops for the farm
ers of large or small acreage.
According to the experiment sta
lions, alfalfa has a higher feeding
value per pound than any other
forage crop,and it actually increases
the fertility of the land upon which
it is grown.
No other section in the world pro

that is recorded in the Arkansas
Valley OF Colorado, nor has any
other section as many alfalfa meal
mills.

alfalfa should be we'll plowed the

seed may be sown with oats. The
growing oat crop shades the young
plants until they get established.

advantage of growing alfalfa on

by the loss which the hay sustains

Of the phosphorus being dissolved.
Farming by irrigation was started
in the Arkansas Valley of Colorado
in the late sos, when the first direct

Since that time there have been
hundreds of miles of irrigating
