nomically, militarily, all ways, if the
struggle is prolonged This is the COM
mon assertion OF the Germans them
solves, who do not dream that the
allies can continue the war into next
year.
But everything that has happened
in the past month has but emphasiz-
ed the Importance of the American
role i'm the war. Unless Russia re-
turns to the attack, we must he ready
next year to make up the deficiencies
in France man-power and with the
British continue the pounding and
grinding up Of German man power
until Germany consents to make peace
upon terms that demonstrate the
downfall of her military caste and
leave the world i'm some sense protect
attack.
Writing here for readers to whom |
have been talking now for nearly
three years, / think it would be folly
to pretend that the present situation
in Europe is favorable, viewed from
the point of a German-American con-
test. That Russia, Britain, and
France could conquer Germany and
Austria, with Italy neutral or allied
with the western powers, / never
doubted. With Russia in the war, the
end this year would be assured. But
the collapse of Russia leaves a gap i'm
the alliance against Germany which
can only be filled when we are ready
and may be fatal to all if we are not
ready before too many months.
1t may be that Germany will COL
lapse from starvation before the mid
die of August brings a new harvest.
II may be that the German Socialists
will compel the government to make
peace on the basis of a surrender but
l do not believe either thing will hap
pen. 1t may be that Russia will at
tack and a new Brusiloff victory. like
that of last year, will restore the bal
ance, But / doubt it. Equally ILL
founded seem to me German claims
that they will win the war by their
submarine campaign. Many months
will pass before the British people are
as hungry as the German has been for
more than a year. And i'm this time
the German situation is hardly likely
to improve much.
When American troops begin to ar
rive in large numbers in Europe, / be-
lieve the Germans will see that the
game is up. and not before, unless
Russia comes back. Until the Ger
man masses see that the game is up,
think they will go on and their pres
ent expectation of victory has put an
end to all chance of disintegration due
to domestic discomfort Kitchener's
estimate of three-year war was bas-
ed on a belief that Russia would con-
tinue.
With Russia out it seems to me that
there can be no escape from a four.
year period, unless America follow=
the Russian example and fails to do
her part-then / think n peace by ne
sotiatiOn will come before next spring
and leave Germany in possession of
some Of the fruits Of her campaigns
and not improbably in possession Of
that great Mitteleuropea, which would
he but the basis for new campaigns
OF conquest to complete the work al
ready begun, the work that was to
give Germany world power and world
domination. - From "An Ominous
Month of War" by Frank III. Simonds,

AGRICULTURE CLUB BOYS OF
CONWAY VISIT COUNTY
AGENT SPENCE

Saturday morning the County
Agent was surprised when five Of
Conway's Agricultural Club boys
with Mr.. Jonathan Wynn, son and
Erwin Rice, walked into his Office.
The club boys walked distance OF
seven miles TO reach Berea. A very
interesting meeting was held in
County Agents Office. Instructions
were given TO club boys. Also record
books and first lesson on soils were
given the boys. At the close OF the
meeting the boys drew for the pig
which the Berea National Bank is
giving 10 Conway Club. Patton Rice
was the lucky boy. He will receive
his pig later.
The visitors were taken through
the Printing Office, Woodwork and
Repair Shops, Laundry, Blacksmith
Shop, Power House, Ice Plant, Dairy
Barn, and Dining Rooms Of Kentucky

HOME DEPARTMENT

homes OF the people are the founda-
ton Of the strength Of our national
government, and should be built
upon solid basis OF truth and
Righteousness.
The home should be refined. II
the children do not learn refinement
in the home, where will they learn
it9 The atmosphere Of the home
should be one of restfulness and
simplicity. IL should be ta'tefully
furnished with many books and
pictures which will stimulate the
minds Of the children TO think
along educational lines. II should
be orderly and systematic. This
will encite the children TO think
along these lines. If we live in q
disorderly house our minds soon
become disordcrly, and we cannot
think clearly on the problems which
are sure To confront us all through
life. IL should also care for the
physical development Of the child.
and see that he gets the right prin-
ciples and training in health and
sanitation.
In short, il should minister TO him
mentally, and morally.

THIS WAR TO BE WON By
FARMERS

II America is TO win this war
against Germany she must do it
mainly by providing food for the
armies.
The Citizen proposes TO give help
full suggestions TO our mountain
farmers all through.
The questions NOW are: Shall
we pillow enough acres, and shall we
put in the best crops?
Now is the time To clear up all
the land that is grown up TO bushes,
and find all the bits Of plow-land
that have been overlooked.
And we must study on what crops
to put in.
First Of all w must raise all we
need for ourselves. We can't afford
to buy flour, sugar, and outside
things and quite likely there will
not be any that we can buy. For
sweets we must have honey and
sorghum. In place Of wheat flour
we can have corn-meal, oatmeal,
The best way to sell products is
TO turn them into live stock and
drive il on foot TO market, but we
must be sure TO save the females so
as to keep up supply. Beans and
peas take the place OF meat, and
enrich the land at the same time.
These should be increased many
times over.
II cans are high and hard to get
We must be more careful OF drying.

FARMERS OF ROCKCASTLE

Never before in the history o
Rockcastle County has there beer
so much interest taken in Agricul.

Agriculture, more and better stool
is rapidly increasing in this County
The seed bed for all the crops ar,
being better prepared than ever be-
fore. More poultry, hogs and sheer
are being raised than ever before
The entire County is well organ
lied and actively engaged in rails
ing a WAR CROP. No longer does
this County stand at the foot of the
ladder. She has started TO climb
and is mounting by leaps and
bounds. The Boards of Directors
are certainly doing all they can to
forward this great work Of food
production in the County.
Conway and Cove Branch in mag
isterial district, No. 2, have per-
manent Farmers Organizations, and
are doing wonderful work. At these
clubs all questions of Home and
Farm are discussed. Conway Club
will put on the market this. year
from $50 to 800 crates, "a quarts
each, of strawberries. This club
is introducing pure bred stock.
More than 1000 pure bred Rhode Is
land Red chickens will be seen in
this valley by June IS.
Cove Branch is young but Is
rapidly growing and developing in
Agricultural interest.
Disputanta and JOhnetta in mag
isterial district No. 3 are actively
engaged in doing many new things
and doing better the old things.
In each of the other three mag
isterial districts there will be two
permanent clubs as in district Nos.
2 and 3.
IL won't be long until Rockcastle
County will be a leading county in
sweet clover, fine sheep, and pure
bred poultry. Buckwheat crop is
rapidly increasing in the County.
This county is really worth more

think.

HOME MANAGEMENT
BY Alta Boylen
OF the Pendleton, Oregon, High

OF the Pendleton. Oregon, High
School
No woman can rightly or wisely
administer a home unless she has q
clear sense Of proportion. BY pro
portion we mean the ability TO dis
tinguish the important duties from
the unimportant duties. A woman
who spends her time fretting about
the unimportant things in a home
will never become an efficient ad-
ministrator Of that home. While
think that il is Of as much impor-
lance as keeping the minds and
ideals of the family pure and clean.
The thing which is always and
forever essential should be perfect
ly clear TO her. She should know
what influences tend toward the
betterment Of home life and should
plan her work accordingly. She
should know that the ESSENTIALS Of
any home are: system, goodness,
and hospitality.
The tricks, fashions, and devices
which add to our conveniences
should be brought TO their proper
places in our thinking. We should
not grow into the habit OF think
ing and wondering all the time what
new device we can buy which will
make our life easier, but we should
plan how to use what we have. We
should not deem ii necessary TO
purchase every little baublc which
we think will add TO our comfort;
in many cases these things are not
Of much help after we buy them.
The home is for the citizens Of
our country. II is the place where
the children should learn the right
principles of life; where they
should get the training which will
enable them to go out and grapple
with the problems Of life. The

To do all you can along the line Of
producing food. See to il that you
have plenty of corn, beans, cow
peas, soy beans. potatoes and gar
den vegetables for home use for
twelve months. After you have
planned for this then add enough
to help feed our soldiers and our
part of the world. We have it to
do and we must do il. We can do
this by carrying out the following
rules:
4. Smash all clods so as to have
more plant food available.
?. Keep soil in good condition by
stirring il often.
3. Keep all weeds from growing
in any crop.
4. Plant beans to hull and keep
for winter use.
5. Plant soybeans to hun and keep
