PREPAREDNESS

Now that in every field of human
endeavor there is coming to be
greater specialization, now that every
form Of activity proceeds according
to established laws and principles;
now that success in any line depends
upon knowledge and proper applica-
tion OF these laws, it is no longer pos
sible to meet the brutal competition
of business successfully. without care
full and systematic preparation.
Agriculture. once looked upon as
the occupation to which every man
might turn when he had failed at
everything else, has become busi-
ness in which to succeed, b man must
have thorough preparation.
No young man would presume upon
his native ability to carry him thru
the practice of law or medicine; none
would believe that in any Of the arts
or trades requiring the exercise of
real skill, he could bluff his way
through. Even in the work of the
teamster. the digger of bitches, and
the driver of railroad spikes, there is
la best and most economical way to do
the work, which must be learned from
ione who knows. or by the long and
'wasteful process of repeated failures.
Yet, knowing all this. knowing that
in every element of the business of
life, there is need of preparation, how
many young men there are, who take
up this business of life entirely with
out preparation.
With opportunities such as were
never before offered for acquiring
thorough working knowledge Of the
principles underlying any art, craft,
or trade he may wish to pursue, we
see the young man idling away his
time, and finally driven to take up
some occupation for which he has
made no preparation.
An observant mal, scarcely passes
day of his life without meeting with
some one who has a tale OF woe to re-
cite of how everything he undertakes,
ends in failure; how luck" is always
against him; and how he can not un-
derstand why others succeed while he
working much harder, always fails.
In the very great majority of cases,
there is no mystery; the whole ex-
PLANTATION lies I'M the fact that he who
always fails, is always undertaking a
work which he does not understand,
and for the understanding of which
he neglected to prepare himself.

Our Scoop.

When the Ford peace ship, Oscar

rumors of dissension on board and
the newspapermen were said to be
'in Dutch" as Tennyson says. Mr..
Ford would not give an interview, as
he was indisposed because of an at
tack of influenza. Knowing that our
readers would be yearning for first
hand news of the conditions we
called up Henry on the wireless tele-
phone and he granted and authorized
the following interview:

Creamery Now
Making Butter
Two Hundred Pounds Made at First
Churning Which Was Done
On Thursday

Ordway's new creamery fs now In

received on Monday of this week
for the first, even before the butter
making machinery was in operation.
Manager Floyd P. Roberts has in
stalled the latest and most modern
machinery for plant of It's size to
be secured and is equipped to handle

electric light plant.
L. o. Gaylord, who has been here
the past week with the carload Of
high grade Holstein cows, inspected
butter Thursday evening. and states
that 1t certainly is a fine quality.
Mr.. Gaylord is from one of the best
uahy uAoIillo VI " lSCohoIh anu
knows good butter. He states that
from his town in Wisconsin two car
loads of butter are shipped out every
week, and sees no reason why this
will not become a greater dairy dis
trict than is that where he lives.
Conditions in Crowley county
are ideal for dairying." said Mr..
Gaylord. You are far better
equipped than we are in Wisconsin
because you have alfalfa hay here
for from So to $40 per ton, while
we have, to pay from $24 to $28 per
ton for the same hay after it is
ground in alfalfa meal. When left
home we were paying $1.4O per 100
pounds for alfalfa meal. Think what
that means and figure your own op-
portunity here to get into the dairy
business"

HOW WILL 1T BE
DESTROYED
To the Editor

To the Editor
Truly the menace of war has
hung over us for many years, and
when war burst in all its dread
reality upon us, it only gave {
feverish stir to war preparations
such as went far beyond the
gigantic efforts that already haC
been made. In act, all the colos-
sal piling up of ornaments seem
ed but a feebly thing as compar-
ed with what has come since then
And now, as never before, all
are looking forward to the time
when they hope the menace o
war shall be destroyed. England
and France, for example, see tha'
the only hope of peace is to crust
Germany so completely that she
will not be able to threaten them
again for a generation to come
at least. This is one means tina
is put forth to secure world peace
and to destroy the world menace
of war.
David Starr Jordan and Others
have another way. 1t is a worl(
court of arbitration, the supreme
court of the nations. where every
question ordinarily settled by wa
shall be settled once and for al
by the supreme dictators OF
world affairs. Hitherto all theii
efforts have been but a fulfill
ment of the old prophecy, Saying
peace, peace, when there is nc
peace"-in other words, talking
peace and making war. The
socialists, bound in a world coali-
ton, promised that there, would
be no more wars. They had
enough men in every nation
pledged to stand as socialists
against war. Socialists were
brothers. Brothers must not fight
They all were a mighty union
and if any nation declared war
they would declare a strike or
the war, and make it impossible
When wars alarms sounded, the
German socialists rallied to war
forgot socialism to fight English
French, and Russian socialists
The big strike was never declar-
ed. Shall we blame thdn for
love of country? We are not
DESTROYS of saying anything here
except to show the failure of So

Quoted the investigations, and il

of the experimentation at the meet

The process of extracting the oil
is not complex The leaves and small
twigs are put in an alright drum

the steam from the retort is regulated
by allowing it to pass off through a
condenser At the end of two or
three hours most of the oil has beer

the top of the water.
The most serious objection is the
difficulty with which the brush is
collected. 1t is though, however, tina
with a tractor and other equipment to
facilitate gathering it, as well as al
efficient extracting machine, that the
oil can be produced in quantity ani
at cost that will make it available

SAGEBRUSH OIL FOR

Since the oil ffotation process has

cialism to destroy the menace Of

In the United States, the hope
of destroying the menace OF wal
is, "to be thoroughly prepared.
This is not new. A prominent
ruler of one of the nations OF
Europe is credited with having
said, not long ago, that after thi
war, the nations will prepare more
thoroughly than ever for war;

saying that the nations will no

has been the talk for a generation
and when war comes, we find
that preparation, instead of pre-
venting war, makes war thou
sandfold more terrible. The only
logical way of destroying the
menace of war, is to get at the
cause OF it. Removing the cause
YOU no longer have the effect
What is the cause of war? There
is but one authority that can tel
us finally and fully.
"Whence come wars and
whence come fghtings among
you? come they not hence, even
OF your pleasures that war in
your members? Ye lust, and have
not: We kill, and covet, and can
not obtain; We fight and war; yo
have not, because We ask not
Ye ask, and receive not, because
We ask amiss, that we may spenf
it in your pleasures. " James Ais
There are things that the ma
ton want badly enough TO spend
treasure and blood to obtain them
That makes war. Now the
remedy is this: "Who is wise
and understanding among you
Let him show by his good life,
his works in meekness OF wisdom
For where jealousy and factor
are, there is confusion and ever,
vile deed. But the wisdom tina
is from above is first pure, ther
peaceable. gentle, easy to be en-
treated, full of mercy and goot
fruits, without variance, withou
hypocrisy. And the fruit o
righteousness is sown in peace
for them that make peace. Jam

Remember the words OF Jesus
BLESSED are the peacemaker

There may be what are consi

ablest. Mr.. Dominick took occasion to
say that he is very much concerned
over the question of states rights, es-

government and the gradual encroach-
ment by it on the constitutional de-
main of the several states. This is a
vital issue although little is heard
