BY ALBERT JOHNSON
Representative in Congress for This District.
No one wants war any more than he wants lep-
rosy smallpox And yet, out of the 571OOO,OOO
Christians of the world, 514,0O00OO of them are at
wor or 80 per cent. Only 100000 Christians are
at peace.
These are in the Scandinavian countries, the
South American countries, Switzerland, Holland,
Spain and Portugal and for the time being, Greece.
The whole 571, 100000 Christians want peace. They
must get it by fighting.
Strange to relate, the real problem that brought
this war is Asiatic Turkey, the land Of the Bible,
and the birthplace of Abraham.
No one wants war, but when comes-and the
momentous events of the world have been such that
we could not have kept out of it even by vote-the
thing to do is to fight and fight hard quick and in
telgently.
: What the United States wants now is a quick
victory.
When the world war is ended, the world will
know that the United States ended it.

half OF CORN
STILL IN FIELD

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec. - Halt
of Indianas corn crop is still in the
field and only about 40 per cent OF
the corn growers of the state nave
selected their seed for next year, a
conference of Purdue University seed
corn men revealed.
Reports from the men showed there
probably was enough seed corn to SUD-
ply the demand in every county,, said
j. A. McCarty Of the crops and soils

fects of the hard freeze cannot be as
certained for some time. However.
it is a certainty that the severe cold
has damaged a large per cent even
of the matured corn, both IN the field
and hanging up, and only small part
of 1t will do for seed.
About the wisest thing the farmer
can do is to place the best matured
ears on drying rack where artificial
heat may be used and then test the
corn for it's terminating qualities neX'
spring before planting"
1t was proposed at the conference
that local formers and grain dealers
organizations bend every effort to pre-
vent the marketing and feeding OF OLD
corn. so that ii may be used for SEED
next year and help relieve the short
age as much as possible.
All seed in the state will Dc listed a

be made to help those counties which
have an oversupply in disposing o.
the surplus to counties which face {
shortage of seed corn.

CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR, Ky.
Dec. 22.-Grave warnings to soldiers
of the S4th division, National Army
in training here, to beware of VAN
lire, profiteering in matrimony, has
come from the commanding general
himself
The warning was occa stoned by re
ports from other National Army camps
that women were marrying soldiers
not because they cared for them, OF
really wanted them as husbands, but
because Of the SIS monthly that would
be allotted them from the soldier G
pay and the additional SIS they would
receive from the government. So far
as known here there have been no
such instances at Camp Taylor, but re-
ports Of such marriage from other
camps have been numerous.
The warning was issued because
it was feared many boys away from
home surroundings, and feeling the
lack Of home conranionship might al
low themselves to become easy prey
for INSCRIPTIONS women who would
marry them for revenue only"
Among reports of such marriages
from other camps is one from Camp
Mills. It reads:
