Women Catch Fish with Hands,

Fishing in Samoan seas is often done
by the women, and without nets, boats
or hooks. They simply wade into the
water and form themselves into ring.
The fishes being so plentiful, they are
almost sure to imprlson some In the
ring. These women are very quick and
active, and every time they catch n
fish with their hands they simply throw

oNR PLAIN DUTY.

ONk PLAlN III /.
At last we are facing war, and their
seems no honorable way in which i
can be avoided. We, therefore, mus
fight.
But with the conflict reality, il
will be well if we as a people are dis
posed to profit by the experience of the
nations across the water,
1t seems like a prosaic matter fol
discussion, but really one of the great
est factors that will enter into the
matter is our food supply, We are
already faced with prices as high as
it would seem we could possibly en-
dure with a pronounced shortage in
many lines of products and if large
army and navy is to be recruited from
our industrial workers the situation is
likely to become serious.
1t is, however, fortunate, that the
crisis should come at this season of
the year, when the people can plan to
meet the situation. The farming sea-
son is just opening, and every man,
woman and child in the United States
should be brought to feel that on his or
her shoulders rests a very tangible
portion of the responsibility that ia
ces the nation.
Our people must be fed In an ordi-
nary year this matter would automat-
ically take care of itself, But not so
in this instance. Aside from the fact
that thousands and thousands will be
drawn from the ranks of the workers,
we will have also to reckon with the
restlessness and excitement that will
inevitably prevail throughout the coun-
try. This is not conducive to success
full work.
What our people must realize is that
no calamity can be allowed to touch
US as a whole. An army may be mo-
bilized, and the navy strengthened,
but affairs will move along in theDsame
grooves in all lines of industry. Hence,
with the increased demand for food
supplies that is sure to come, the first
thought of all the people should be to
see that every available foot of till
able soil is made to produce a crop.
Ard this should not only apply to
farmers. Millions of people in the cit
ies and towns can contribute largely
to the result. Unused back yards, va
cant lots, fallow fields, even railroad
rights Of way can be made to add their
quota. Every dweller in a city or
town who can by any means secure a
plot Of ground should do so and de-
vote a portion of his or her time this
season to producing something to eat.
None should evade this duty, for
duty it is.
Let none delude themselves with the
belief that there will be any material
lowering of the prices of foodstuffs
unless there is an increase in produc-
ton. The demand is too great There
are yawning markets the world over
for every bushel of wheat, corn, pota-
toes, or anyother article of food that
we can produce, and even shuld we
escape a long war, at least as long as
the conflict continues in Europe that
demand will be urgent.
We can, we should, we MUST make
Of ourselves that which we glory in
proclaiming-a nation of farmers.

by Miss Nell McConnico, who person
ated a washer woman with a bundle
of freshly Numbered clothes. AT late
hour the guests were served. In the
center of the room over the table was
a canopy Of rainbow colors. On the
dining table was an exquisite cluny
piece, which held a basket of hlacs
and butter cups. The menu consisted
of cream in rainbow stripes, angel
cake, sailed almonds and candy in diff
ferent colors. About thirty had the
pleasure Of being Mrs. Rice's guests
on this delightful occasion.

which added much to the impressive

WOULD BOND COUNTY
FOE S25O,000. 90
Petition Presented to County Com
missioners Asking for Quarter of
Million Dollars Worth of Seed
and Feed Bonds.

A. A Robinson, chairman of the
Agricultural war committee of the
Association Of Commerce, and several
members Of his committee appeared
before the board of county commits
sioners Tuesday afternoon and pre-
sented petition signed by 159 vot-
ers Of Ward county, asking the county
to issue S250,000 worth Of bonds
which will enable Ward county farm
ers 10 purchase feed and seed for
next seasons crops. The money
thus raised would cost the farmers
about per cent interest. which would
include the interest on the bonds and
the cost Of handling the accounts.
The commissioners are considering
the matter and it is not known lust
what they will do with the petition.
The committee explained that many
Of the farmers of the county had
about gone the limit financially and
without some kind of financial assist
ance, they will not be able to procure
feed and seed for next years crops.
1t is a patriotic move as well as
good business move to see that these
farmers are provided with money
they actually need. Many of the
farmers do not need assistance of this
kind, but many who have depended
upon the banks heretofore, will find
next spring that many of the banks
VIII not be in a position to furnish
them with the money. The committee
explained that the banks are carving
large number of farmers from last
spring and longer. Many of the farm
ers have applied for federal farm
loans but the money is not vet at
hand and the banks are still carrying
them on the old loans. waiting for the
arrival of the federal money. This
makes both the banks and the farm
ers hard up.
One of the commissioners who has
been on the board for years, states
that he is not in favor of issuing
bonds for he remembers when the
farmers were furnished with feed and
seed in 1911. Some of them failed to
pay up and the county lost some mon
ey. The county filed liens against the
land but in 1915 the supreme court de-
clded that the mortgages on the land
held priority over the liens and the
county will never be able to collect
some of the money
The committee explained that in
case the county did lose some money,
it would hardly be necessary for it
to do SO again, as a committee could
be appointed from each town to inves-
tigate the farmers needs before he
be given credit, and the elevators
could be served with notices so that
the county would be paid first out of
the crop. Some of the other counties
are issuing bonds of this kind. A
slope county has issued 100000
worth of bonds. The committee be-
lieves that the county is able to
finance its own seed and feed PROPOSE
| ton for next year.
President Townley of the Nonpar-
tisan League conferred with Pres
ident Wilson relative to securing $780,
100000 for the farmers of the north
west for feed and seed, but it is not
! certain that any Of this money will
