MAY DECLARE WAR

HAVANA, Dec. 9.-The belief was expressed by several congressman this afternoon that President Menocal to- morrow would send a message to con- gress asking that a declaration be made that a state of war exists be- tween Cuba and Austria Hungary, Cuba was the first of the Latin-Ameri- can countries to follow the United States in declaring war against Ger many, and the expectation is that she will duplicate this action in the case of Austria Hungary.

AbOUT LAND VALUES
The sale of IN Andrew County Farm
shows The Great Increase
In Price.

The sale of a coo acre tract of land
in this county at more than $1,000
per acre, at public auction during cir
cuit court last week. conveys an idea
of how Andrew county land is re-
Garded. This was a partition sale and
the purchase was made by a resident
Of the county. The fact that some of
the highest priced land that has been
sold in the county during the last few
years was almost invariably purchase d
by a home man, speaks highly for the
merits of the soil The purchaser
knows what he is getting and is will
ing to pay the price.
There can be no question that land
price and that it Is destined to reach
5000 per acre within the next decade.
1t 10 not alone the fertility OF the soil
that causes IT to bring good prices and
insures continued good prices. but the
fact that crop failures are practically
unknown here. At long intervals a
partial failure of the corn crop may
result, but most every year good crops
are produced and good prices are re-
allied, a profit of at least 20 per cent
on high priced land being realized
even when the product is sold out
right. Even when there is a bad year
this percentage is maintained, lor a
complete failure at many other places

THE FREEST COUNTRY
What We VIII Get Out of This War
When the Great Struggle Is
VIGOROUSLY Closed.

Every traitor and every near traitor
in the United States is inauiring:
! what are we going to get out of this
war" re-.
Well. among other things, we are
going to get a better grade of patrio-
tism than we have been having.
We are going to put an end to
building up foreign colonies in the
United States rs breeding places for
| treason.
| We are going to quit making the
foreigner believe he is the only cre-
ature on earth worth while.
We are going to love every foreigner
who really becomes an American, and
all others we are going to ship back
home
We are going to stop hiring men In
I the banks and public offices simply
because they speak foreign languages.
In this way we expect to encourage
the speaking of the English language
We are going to have consultations
with the I. w. WIS to ascertain
whether or not they have a real grie-
vance or any just cause for their
treasonable mouthing3 and threats
If they have any just cause. we are
going to remove 1t; then we are going
to shut their mouths for good and all.
We are not going to let men come
into the United States without some
kind of bond guaranteeing that they
are not going to engage in burning
property or in carrying on secret work
on behalf of the country they came
from.
Out of this war we are going to get
new United States. We are going
to hate nobody. but We are going to
be prepared to fight whenever neces-
sary.
| We are going to have the freest
country in the world. but we are not
going TO allow any traitorous high
brows to set their own standards of
freedom by which 10 convert freedom
into treason.
| There are good many other things
I'VE are going to get out OF this war"
When the soldier boys come home.
We are going to have two million Of
patriots who having fought for the
flag will make good citizens and
thorough patriots.
The people of the United States are
going 10 get more out of this war than
will be returned to any other country
In the world.-Des Moines dowa)

There was great German immisra-
tion to this country just after the
Franco-P Prussian war in the early sew
enties, nd-many wore badges made
of the cannon captured from the
French. Some OF these are among
the prominent citizens OF Northwest
Missouri now. These men fought un-
der Van Moltke, and had passed
through a war that was watched over
by the great diplomat, Bismarck. They
had reason to be proud OF what was
done then and It is difficult for them
to realize how different are the meth
ods OF the Germans now. 1t must be
borne in mind, however, that there
are no Won Moltkes. Bismarcks and
King Williams in the present war.

JUDGE BURNEs PUSHED WORK

The November term of the Andrew
County Circuit Court was in session
last week and lasted only four days,
the docket being almost completely
cleaned in that time. II is a compli-
ment to a county that there should he
80 little litigation, and it is especially
creditable that the criminal docket
should show only a few cases. nearly
all of which being Of minor offenses.
The grand jury summoned was in
session only two or three days and
returned but two indictments we
learn. Not much going to law and a
dearth OF unlawful acts is a recon-
mendatlon 10 all good people in any
couuty-Savannah Democrat.

and a commensurate increase in
price. OF course, the raising and feed
ing of stock usually adds TO the per-
centage of profits.
Besides this cereal. other crops are
usually produced in abundance here.
Wheat, oats and other small grain as
we'll as alfalfa. clover. etc, bring an
average profit even greater than that
of corn, In short. It is the diversity of
products that counts here as well as
the good seasons, and fertile soil All
these combined will not only cause
present prices soy be maintained, but
produce substantial increase in land
values.-saxannah Democrat. Il
