How would you like to see free
America become German province
with German Governor-Generalp placed
over it? Would the most ardent paci-
fist in this country be willing to sub
nit to such a condition! Yet that is
exactly what will happen if the United
States fails to win this great war. The
distinguished visitor from France and
England made it plain that if we do
win, S5 per cent of the credit will be
due to the efforts of those who stayed
at home. They must push business to
the utmost and give of the profits,
they must increase food production, and
elimanate waste.
The motto of. Canadian women is,
"Give until it hurts And how freely
they have given of their loved ones,
time and money. A gentleman who
recently visited here from Canada stat.
ed that out of the regiment with which
his son went to France, only thirteen
had returned. Yes, they have given I'M
til it hurts and the women of our land
may have to give in the same way.
Many of the contributions to the Red
Cross Fund of $1l4,000,000 raised dur
ing the past week cost their givers true
sacrifice. How proud we should be that
good, generous old Idaho County ex-
ceeded it's quota of $4,000 by $4,000.
The spirit of rs and '61 is as much
alive today as it ever was. What else
would induce the women of Grangetille
to go to the Red Cross Headquarters
day after day to make the garments
and equipment needed by the soldiers
Do you realize how many pleasures they
are sacrificing by doing this work! Do
they ever complain? No, they act as
though they enjoy it, and that is true
| patriotism. The war is teaching us to
give cheerfully, to work unselfishly, and
to place our country IS welfare above
every other consideration. We know
we are right and we are going to win,
but we must work in order to do it,

matter made possible the qualification of every material whim. and simulta- neously rendered that qualification inn possible. so his realization of the un- reality of death rendered his escape from the cross the simplest thing to him, and yet drove him to demonstrate that unreality under divine compulsion. Jesus" writes Mrs. Eddy. on page 51 of Science and Health, could have withdrawn himself from his enemies. He had power to lay down human sense of life for his spiritual identity in the likeness of the divine; but he al lowed men to attempt the destruction of the mortal body in order that he might furnish the proof of immortal life" The life of Jesus expressed the highest and purest sense of scientific gratitude. That gratitude was, how ever, never to person. but always to divine Principle.

best use of cereals produced silos should be built to preserve this feed, as experience has proven that such crops made into ensilage increase their food value fold
 III. SWINE AND POULTRY. As one means for rapid increase of the meat supply We urge the more exten- siVe breeding of swine and increasing the egg and poultry production.
 ". PESTS. As the various insect pests and fungous diseases of the state cause great losses to our producers, we urge that all farmers seek the assist ance of the state and United States Chronological departments for advice, which will gladly be given, and CO., operate to reduce this loss to the minimum.
 V. HOME ECONOMY. We urge that the men of our state cooperate with the women in reducing the great waste and extravaganza in our homes and willingly accept simpler living, made of home grown products as far as pos sible, so that we as Americans will not
 be truthfully accused of being "the
 most fastidous in taste and the least efficient in home management of any civilized nation"
 Conserve Seed WHEREAS, there is a shortage in the supply of seeds of many farm crops i bringing before us the necessity for the use of the existing supply to the best possible advantage and. WHEREAS the campaign for home gardens, unless carefully directed may result in the waste of large amounts oi seed which can be better used by prac- | tical farmers and experienced garden

HOOKER LIGHT PLANT
is DESTROYED BY FIRE

A fire at the light plant, Monday
morning, destroyed all the electrical
apparatus, damaged the machinery,
burned an automobile and will leave
Hooker in the dark O. night for
months to come.
No one was at the plant when the
fire started, so no one knows how it
started, but out Of the dozen or more
guesses the best bet seems to be the
over-heated stove theory. This would
explain the fire being in the rafters
of the building when first seen, but
at that, it is only one more guess.
Those who were first on the job
are of the opinion that the fire could
have been extinguished with very
nominal loss, had the hose not been
frozen, but as it was, the hose was
so badly frozen that they could not
get the water through it, and by the
time that new hose was attached
to the hydrant the fire had gotten
beyond control
There were two explosions that
scattered the fire throughout the
building and drove some of the fire.

There was no insurance and the
city will have to float bonds to in
stall a new plant, or at least repair
the old one. The plant, as it stood,
cost the city in the neighborhood Of
$22, 100000, to which might, be added
the six thousand odd dollars worth
of bonds that were issued a year ago
for refunding purposes.
Whether the citizens will vote
enough bonds to enlarge the plant
and install larger engines and gen.
orators, or whether they will pust re-
pair the old plant, which was too
small for the town, will have to be
decided before the bonds can be is
sued.-Hooker Advance.

the business houses of Liberal and
our county, we help our community.
When we help our farmers, we help
Liberal, for they come to Liberal to
spend their money and we want them
to come. Anyone who does not stand
up for home industries and business
houses as much as possible is a slack
err. We should not welcome outsiders
to the detriment of our own town.
Our home products should be pre-
ferred to those imported and that is
what the United States government
encourages. Every time you use home
products on the table, home-ground
meal and flour in your mullins, bread
and cakes, you help in food conserva-
ton, which is woman's part in win
ming the war. If we do not patronize
our home people, but always go out
side our town and county to support
others, we are the losers as COM
munity.

Institute Speakers

Miss Boyd, emergency home dem
spoke at our farmers institute, last
onstration agent of Stevens county,
Tuesday afternoon. She spoke on
"Childrn's Gardens. Her plea was
for more production of vegetables in
this part of the state. Mis- Boyd is a
government agent and a food con-
servation agent and she handles her
subject with skill.
Mrs. Newsom, of Beaver county,
Okla, spoke also, Tuesday afternoon.
She exhibited her steam cooker and
spoke about her work among her
women in Beaver county. Mrs. New
som interested both men and women
in food conservation and everyone
that heard her was lead to understand
more fully the government food con-
servation movement. We hope Mrs
Newsom mill come again for she is
our neighbor and Beaver county is
doing the same work as Seward coun-
ty in food conservation.

 Missionary Work.
 To be credited with this change of attitude on the part of the Papago farmers is a large amount of mis- sionary work furnished by the Cor nelia Copper company in the first half Of the year, when it joined with other copper producers in the state in the movement to increase the Ari- zona output of agricultural products. The Cornelia Copper had number of Papago laborers working about it's mechanical plants where 1t has sue cessfully. pursued the policy of edu- eating these Indians to a more use ful and renumerative form of work tan previously followed. From the Indian employed about it's plants the company selected number who had special adaptability for farming and who had acquired new light on the white brothers ways and meaning. They were in consequence able to take their brothers in the Papago val leys a clear idea of what it was be- ing striven to do in increasing the farms land output and also to assure them that arrangements had been made to see that they got a square deal when it came time for market ing the crops. In addition they took the guarantee of all the free seed that the Indians could use, the com pany providing the seed.
