IT Is NOT EASY

To apologize. To begin over. To be unselfish. To take advice. To face a sheer. To be charitable. To keep on trying. To be considerate. To avoid mistakes. To endure successes. To profit by mistake. To think and then to act. To forgive and to forget. To keep out of the rut. To make the best of little. To subdue any unruly temper. To shoulder a deserved blame. To recognize a silver lining. But it always pays. Ohio Edu- 'ational Monthly.

 The whole world is at war. Everything is in a turmoil and everything is to be reconstructed in some way from this chaos. Sundry laws and restrictions are being passed in our. country. People are waking up and doing some independent thinking and everything is getting very un- @ r tain. Prices on everything are going skyhigh and nobody knows where it is all going to.
 Conditions are not what they were thirty years ago. Every thing is being done on a big scale and the lone individual stands as much chance as the proverhial snowball. The tend ency is to expand and if your neighbor gets in the way of your expansion you can soak him, This tendency is the cause

 Individuals can not stand sing ly, be they ever so strong. And organization is the only hope of the little man, be he farmer, banker, merchant or ordinary laborer. The milionaries are disappearing and their place taken by billionaires.
 The wholesale merchants are organized. The retail mer- chants are organized. The coal miners are organized and since they were organized they have done more for themselves than everything else did before.

APPEAL is MADE
BY RUSS TROOPS
TO GERMAN INVADERS

Petrograd, Sept. l2.-The committee
of the Twelfth Russian army before
leaving Riga left an appeal printed in
German and addressed to the German
soldiers pointing out that the Germans
were making war on the side of auto
cracy and against revolution of liberty
and justice. The appeal said:
"A victory Of Kaiser Wilhelm would
mean the end Of democracy and liberty.
We are leaving Riga, but we know the
revolutionary spirit will prove stronger
than your cannon. we know that in the
end your conscience will see more clear
ly and that you will march on to victory
and liberty side by side with the feyo-
lutionary army.
Your strength is greater than ours,
but your superiority is merely of physi-
cal and material force Moral force is
on our side. History will relate that

their Russian brothers forgetting the

DRY FRUITS WHEN
CANS ARE HIGH, IS
UNCLE SANS ADVICE
Specialists Show Just How
Prudent Women Can Help
Conserve Food Supply by
Simple Means

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 24-Dry
vegetables and fruits for winter use if
tin cans and glass jars for canning
are scarce or expensive
This is the advice of u. S. depart
ment of agriculture specialists who have
studied possibilities of conserving food
to meet war needs i'm spite of any
difficulties in obtaining canning con-
tanners.
Drying was a well-recognized, sue
cessful way of preserving certain foods
before canning came into general use,
the specialists point out, and modern
methods make it still more PRACTICABLE,
either in the home or by community
groups.
Three satisfactory methods of dry
ing have been found by department
specialists. These are sun drying dry
ing by artificial heat, and drying with
air blasts, as before an electric fam
Trays for drying by any one of these
methods. as well as tray frames for
use over stoves or before fans, can
be made at home.
Homemade trays may be of side and
end boards three-fourths of an inch
thick and two inches wide; bottom
boards of lathing spaced one-fourth of
an inch. If desired, one-fourth-inch
galvanized wire mesh may be tackled to
side and end boards to form tray bot
toms. Frames for use with artificial
heat should be of noninflammable ma
terial as far as possible.
In drying before fan the number
of trays placed one above the other
will depend, to a large extent, upon the
diameter of the fan. In sun drying,
trays as described may be used or the
products to be dried may be spread on
sheets of paper or muslin held in place
by weights.
Vegetables and fruits will dry better
If cut into slices one-eighth to one
fourth inch thick. If thicker, they may
not dry thoroughly. While drying, pro-
ducts should be turned or stirred from
time to time
Dried products should be packed tenn
porarily for three or four days, poured
each day from one box to another for
thorough mixing, and so the whole mass
will have uniform moisture. If during
this conditioning" any pieces are found
too moist, they should be dried fur
Their.
When in condition, the products may
be packed permanently in tight paper
bags, insect-proof paper boxes or car
tons, glass or tin containers.

1916 have not fallen off in 1917, but
are continuing on an even greater
scale
The shippers will show that the net
revenues of the railroads of the south
ern district for, the first four months
of 1916 were $f2 1O4,O55, while the net
revenues of the same roads for the
first four months of 1917 were $46,-
3S1,472, or an increase of approximately
10 per cent above the most prosperous
year i'm railroad history.
From these figures, which are typi-
cal of the general exhibits to be filed
by the shippers, they will contend that
they are justified in asserting that no
emergency exists in the financial af-
fairs of the railroads in this state, and
that even if an emergency did exist,
they are amply able to cope with an
emergency by using the surplus which
they have been allowed to accumulate
for that purpose.
GA RATES ALREADY HIGH.
But these figures bearing on the
financial condition of the railroads of
Georgia will be only a part of the show
ing made by the shippers in opposition
10 the 10 per cent emergency petit
ton.
The shippers will show that Georgia
intrastate freight rates already are
% per cent higher, for distances rang
ing from to IS miles, than the average
rates for the same distances in Vir-
ginia, North Carolina and South Carroll
ma.
They will show that Georgia rates
already are 42.5 per cent higher, for dis
tances ranging from so to 100 miles,
than the average rates in those three
states.
They will show that Georgia rates
already are 53.5 per cent higher. for dis
tances ranging from lao to $50 miles,
than the average rates in those three
states.
on top of this. they will point out
that the railroads were already before
the commission, before filing their 10
per cent emergency" petition, with a
petition filed i'm the spring of 1916, ask
ing for general revision of Georgia
interstate rates which would amount to
an increase of approximately % per
cent They will point out that the rail
road commission has heard the evil
dence of the railroads and the shippers
bearing upon the 1915 petition, and that
the lawyers for both sides are now pre-
pairing their final arguments to be SUBJ
mitted early in August.
They will point out that the rail-
roads of Georgia. already charging high
err rates than they are allowed to charge
in Virginia North Carolina and South
Carolina. and already before the COM
mission with a petition for revision
amounting to an increase of % per cent.
cannot wait for that petition to be act
ed upon before they come with a spe-
cial emergency petition asking for a
flat increase of Is per cent.

Regulations Governing Draw

of President

WASHINGTON. June 24.-Regula-
tions for the selectives new national
army, now awaiting President Wilson's
approval, contain provision for every
step in the 81 eat undertaking, except
the actual method of the selection it.
self
No official announcement has been
made. and official confirmation is being
withheld, but it has been stated, and
generally is accepted here as true, that
the federal government itself will do
the selecting, probably in Washington
so there will be no opportunity for local
favoritism, political or otherwise
AS the regulations stand now, every
registered man bears a number. The
numbers will be forwarded to Washing
ton and the drawing will be entirely by
number. The identity of the number
ed men will be entirely unknown to
those in charge of the machinery and
can be established only by comparing
a number with a printed list in the
mans home district.
AS the numbers are drawn. they will
be telegraphed to the home districts
where the registered men will learn if
they have been drawn.
Then the question of exemption will
come up and this will go before the
local boards. If a man is exempted
the man bearing the number which was
drawn next in order will take his place
and so on.
In this way, all those available for
service out of the 1O.O0O,00 who regis
tered will, be made ready for the coun-
trys call, and from them the first in
crement of $4,000 will be assem- led
The others will be called as the need
develops. Plenty of time will be given
for selected men to arrange their per-
sonal affairs and report to the canton
ment camps 1t is hoped to have them
all in training by September 1. or very
soon thereafter
