the Allies and the Teutons have been locked in
battle so long that the world has become almost
callous Every day we have read in the news
dispatches accounts of horrible fighting. Today
forty thousand men were wiped out Yesterday
whole battalions were decimated. The day be-
fore thousands of men were caught in trap and
killed Reports state that Germany's list of
killed totals over two millions. Beautiful cities
and precious works of art have been RACED.
Helpless women and children have been driven
by the enemy from their homes and starved or
thrown on the mercy of the charitable. Nolong-
ey are we affected by the horror of these dis
patches. Our minds have refused to grasp the
tremendousness of it and we read the war news
with scarcely more of thrill than we get from
sensational murder. Recent dispatches from
Europe have emphasized the peace note. Ger
man socialists, apparently, are demanding that
something be done to end the slaughter Aus
tria, likewise, is ready for peace-in all proba-
bility has been for some time, tits not unlikely
that France and England, despite their asser-
lions to the contrary, would be amenable i'll
proper terms could be obtained The neutral
world is crying for peace. Will the New Year
bring its Nineteen sixteen will hold much for
the United States in the way of prosperity and
We have reached a period of con-
struction which will begin this year. Many
serious problems are before the people for solu-
ton, and the tendency is to ignore radicalism
and to concentrate our efforts on safe and sane
policy. But of all the gifts which the New Year
may have in store for us the greatest would be
peace in Europe.

Comes to town.

Nineteen hundred fifteen was a banner year
both in the gross quantity of the crops produced
and in the prices received for them. The Agri-
cultural Department in its final estimate places
the total value of the years crops, on the farm,
at S. $40, 900. The extraordinary demand for
foodstuffs produced by the war operated to slim
uIate both crop planting and crop prices. All the
principal crops except barley and tobacco were
the most valuable ever grown. About 109 mill
lion acres of corn were planted; the harvest was
over three billion bushels, worth the record
price of 81 ,756, 100000 For the first time the
crop of wheat passed above the billion bushel
mark, produced from 60 million acres and WORTH
$50 millions. The average yield of both winter
and spring wheat was slightly under II bushels
to the acre. This is not half what it would be
if more scientific methods were used. Hay beat
its record Of 1912 and produced s. million tons,
worth 9lJ millions. Potato growers planted the
largest area ever known, but the crop totaled
only $50 million bushels This was SO million
less than last year, but the higher price brought
the value up to - million dollars more than last
year. No matter what weather conditions may
be, the crops for the whole country average up
very much the same and continue to grow in
value very steadily. Awet season may injure
the grain crops in given area but it will produce
la luxurant hay crop, so the tendency is for crop
conditions to equalize themselves, where people
are wise enough not to put all their eggs in one
basket" People of this section have been with
out this wisdom in the past, but they are learn
ling better now and diversihcation will be prac-
lticed more and more in the future.

DUMPING

Congress has serious problem to face in pro.
viding adequate laws against dumping"
Dumping is the selling of a product in foreign
country at lower price than it is sold at home.
In the rebuilding of Europe, which must follow
the war, the United States, in all probability,
will be the object of dumping campaign by
foreign nations, If this should happen, the
markets of this country would be demoralized.
The United States is rich Foreign nations, bro
ken in fortune, by every trick of trade, will at
tempt to rebuild their fortunes at the expense of
the United States. Canada, South America
and Australia have laws to prohibit dumping.
The necessity for adequate laws far the United
States is an immediate one.

While the European war has made many drugs
and medicines scarce, it has also brought back
into favor many old-time remedies which were
long ago discarded by the medical fraternity.
For example, sugar is found to be valuable
material for dressing wounds already infected
aud the British government has discovered that
men whose wounds are treated with ordinary
sea water make better recoveries than those
treated in hospitals with more scientific antisep-
ties. Even garlic is now admitted by military
surgeons to possess extraordinary virtues when
used as an antiseptic dressing. Ashes obtained
from burning wool or cotton cloth are highly
valuable in treating wounds and are very much
used by the Cossacks.

A BACKWARD STEP.

We have always thought our County Court did
most wise and commendable thing when by an
appropriation of $500 it enabled the county to Sc
cure the services of government agricultural
exgert throughout the entire year. During the
past wear some dissatisfaction arose over the SER
vices rendered by the gentleman serving in that
capacity, and for this reason a sentiment favor
able to the abolition of the office resulted in the
defeat of the appropriation Monday.
We will not discuss the merits or dement's of
Mr.. benson, for that should have nothing to do
with the continuation OF adjustment of the Of
fise. If his services were unsatisfactory he
should not have been reelected, but if the office
Is helpful to the farming interests of the county,
it should be continued and the best man possible
employed.
We believe that a man should be found for the
place who is an expert, not only as an agricul-
turist, but also as judge of livestock. We need
improvement along this line just as much or
more than along the agricultural line. 1t is an
easy matter to find man combining these quail
ifications and his services would prove of meal
culable benefit to agricultural and livestock in
tereSts of our county.
We believe our magistrates want to improve
conditions throughout the county in every way
possible. Most of these men are progressive in
their views and know that the old way of farm
ing in this country has brought poverty, where
up-to-date methods will revolutionize conditions
and bring improvement all along the line.
The old way is rarely ever the best way and
most certainly it is not the best way from the
farmers viewpoint. Government statistics and
4. Al = l. Al l.
of doubt This being true, we believe the court
should reconsider It's action with reference TOD
this question at its April meeting and make the
appropriation for this office. Then let man be
found who Will take an interest in building up
the agricultural and livestock interests Of the
entire county, paying especial attention to the
smaller and poorer farmers, who above all 9TH
ers, need this assistance,

THE INFANT PRODIGY

You've heard about the boy who leads at school
And the manly kid of six who swan the pool;
OF the boy who knows his Homer-famous he,
And the boy who played the violin beautifully

OF the girl who knows her Shakespeare through

OF the mathematics marvel and his sums OF
two and two,
Butthere's another Infant Prodigy,
Who is greater far than these,
He's not the perfect little boy
Who minds his as and p's;
know his sphere is lowly
He deserves greater renown,
He's the kid who stays at home and works
When the circus
