and how effectively they fight
depends upon the combined eff
forts of the remainder. Every
individual act that contributes
at all toward increasing the in
dustrial or financial power Of the
United States is a very real
response to call to arms.
In his address to the Ameri-
can people President Wilson said
Upon the farmers of this coun-
try in large measure rests the
fate of the war. America must
furnish food not only for her.
self but for all the nations at
war with Germany" So upon
the farm woman devolves the
duty of rendering effectual SER
vice to her country by helping
conserve and increase the food
supply
1t is necessary to produce all
the food stuffs possible in the
farm garden, given first place
to potatoes, beans, onions and
corn, learning to dry sweet corn
as was done on every farm
years ago or even canning it at
home. It is a simple process, is
much less expensive than buy
ing it at the grocery store.
Plant a second corn crop as
soon as the early vegetables are
out of the way. By succession
of planting the farmer may have
vegetables out of the regular
season as we'll as the city dwell
ers, and with no expense, other
than the labor.
To increase the meat supply
refuse to either kill or sell calves,
lambs or pigs. Try to raise as
much poultry as possible, as
poultry yields quick returns in
meat.
There is milk on every farm
and whole milk cheese is nutri-
tious, is easily made and ex-
ceedingly cneap when compared
with the commercial article.
Very helpful bulletins on cheese
making and the canning and
preserving of vegetables and
meats may be had from the De-
partment Of Agriculture Help
in forming garden and canning
clubs among farm boys and girls
may be secured from the same
source.
In club work a study of food
values would be of great bene-
fit. The already high prices will
undoubtedly go higher. The
housewife must learn the val
ues of substitutes for some of
the food she has been accus-
toned to use. AS rule, the
farm woman serves heavier
foods and more meat than is
really necessary. It is possible
to serve simpler meals and still
get the required amount Of nour-
ishment.
We can go a long way to-
ward paying the bill of war and
at the same time render real
service at home by cutting down
our food waste. The very album
dance of food stuffs on the farm
tends to wastefulness. Let us
resolve to make every ounce of
food count.
It is now both fashionable and
patriotic to practice thrift. And
thrift doesn't mean stinginess,
nor meanness 1t means MAX
ing the best possible use of all
that we have time, money, en-
ergy and material, and not
spending more Of any of these
thing than we really have.
This will be a fine experience
for all Of us, this necessity for
thrift and economy, and we are

have been reduced to minimum.
Apparently this unprecedented and
most kindly treatment has not engen-

ana kindness are abused. Spies are
everywhere, and information Dis being
communicated to the enemy. that

Germans are like the vipers that,
rescued half frozen, bite the benefac-
tors that warm them to life. And it
does not need a political st. Patrick
to declare; that such vipers must be
extsrminated. We cannot allow these
treacherous Germans to strike in the
back our: brave troops who are fight

for their protection, our government
must initiate heroic measures. Kind

"Must Fight and Conquer"

Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg
in addressing the German Reichstag
main committee safd: "Isrepeat that
the formula Of peace without annexa-
tions is unacceptable to us. We can
not declare our terms of peace. We
must fight and conquer That is the
declaration of the Kaiser to the Ger
man. people, who have sacrificed so
much in the war of the past three
wears, and who today are meeting de-
feat on every, hand on the land and
having only partial success in their
inhuman U-boat warfare on the seas
Must. fight and conquer" means
that Belgium shall have no recon-
pense for the terrible outrages that
have been committed, that France
and England must be crushed beyond
the hope fof. formidable rivalry, that
Russia shall return to the inhunan
government of the Car, and that the
United States must be humiliated and
compelled to pay the enormous costs
OF. ,Germany's war. 1T further means
that every bit Of. the worlds civifiza-
ton must be subordinated and sacri-
feed to Germany's ambition for world
empire. Such results cannot be per-
smitted. The last ounce of the allies
strength must be given if necessary to
prevent it. The United States must
strike with all its power against such
San inhuman nonstrosity.
/ Note that the chancellor, did not say
Germany must defend itself, but thai
it must conquer. The challenge te
America and the rest of the allies is
plain, the unbearable terms of the
German conaueror are realized in ad.
vance .andfthefr impossibility should be
made sure.

German people see the ilnpossibility oil

One of Boston's amateur gardeners
has just figured. out that he is likely to
get SIG worth of potatoes this fall that
have. cost him $31 to produce. He
has charged his labor at 25 cents an
hour and a total o; $17.50. He has
had to pay $3.50 for his plot of land
ready for planting. That is. an ex-
horbitant price to pay for an eighth
Of an acre and it is not likely an ex-
perienced man would put $3.50
worth of labor on such plot after it
was ready to plant 4, So the amateur
has not produced his crop at a reason
able cost, but he has learned how to
do something to increase the food sup
ply, and that may be worth more to
him in the coming years than this

It is quite amusing to read the SOL
emn declarations of the United States
senators that with speculation in grain
on the grange exchanges there would
be no market for the farmers grain.
The faHacy of their claim is shown by
the closing of the corn exchanges in
Chicago this week The price of corn
hmm ediately fell So cents bushel.
This reduction did not affect the farm
er in any way because the corn was
out of his hands long ago and the SO
cents bushel was simply what the
spectators. were making on it after
it had been taken from the control of
the farmer. We do not credit the
talk that the millers would not pay
reasonable prices for wheat direct
from the farmers. 1t is pure tommy
rot. There is serious question whether
the government can properly control
the food supply but little danger that
it will destroy the production of food
at reasonable prices.
