THE Prince OF Peace"

And He said, 81 came not to
bring peace, but sword"
What strange contradic-
ton, aud how shall we recon
cile itY
Again the season is with us
when the hearts Of Christendom
turn to that wonderful Person
atty and dwell with feelings Of
awe and wonder on the words
that fell from his lips. Again
we commemorate the birth of
him who shall make ns free in
deed. But now we came with
hearts bowed down under n
world sorrow and minds cloud
ed by veil through which it
would seem impossible to pierce.
When we would sing acclaim
the Prince of Peace, we look
out over aworld drenched in war
and blood. We see on every
hand misery and suffering, hu-
mnn conditions which he gave
his life to alleviate. And il has
been so long since lie made the
sacrifice, that hope almost turns
to despair.
Can we by any means CLEAN
one ray of comfort from that
cryptic remark which we quote
above. Was the omniscient
mind projecting itself into the
future and seeing the mighty
struggles through which his
Word tnust adventure c'er it
reached enthronement in the
hearts of mankind?
We cannot but believe that
such was the case. TOO well he
knew the awful dspravity OF
the unregcuerate heart of man;
too well he knew the fearful
lust of pride and power against
which men must battle and un-
der which they must be ground
to powder; too well he knew by
what slow degrees the world
would be brought to realiza-
ton OF the fact that but one
human attribute can ever be
taken into the great hey
love
1t was said OF him that che
was in the world aud the world
knew him not" If the world
then, knew him not, how much
less Shall it know his teachings
without diligent study IN q
search?
1t would be well for the Amer
can people, as they approach
the anniv ersary of the Messiah
ic Birth, 10 again fortify them
selves with the teachings Of the
Son Of Man. We should look
into the national heart and ses
that in the momcntous conflict
before us, we harbor no I'M
worthy motives by which we
may help to defer tho consum,
nation of h is benediction
peace OH earth, good will tc
men, 1t would be we'll thai
we again assure our own hearts
that we desire but the everlast
ing Right of Truth.
Having, then, assured oul
hearts of these things, let VI
revert to just one incident il
his life. Let us recall t ha
when he found the temple OF
God profaned, with scourgt
of cords he drove the profaners
from ito precincts. Wonderful
man! For his own safety h,
would not contend, but for the
honor of hie Father, yes.

the draft rules so as to exclude all such men in cities and to permit local and district boards to reopen the case of any policeman or firemen already passed on.
 In his@letter to Governor Whitman Mir. Hughes directed attention to the fact that there are 10,7e0 policemen in New York city and of this number between 5000 and $500 are subject to the draft. Tn addition the city is employing 120O special policemen in guarding public utilities. It cannot, Mk. Hughes showed, employ men of mature years, since only men between the ages of 21 and 2s are eligible to the force.
 Concerning fremen, MT. Hughes in his letter quoted the fire commissioner as saying that of 3s25 fremen, 1462 were of draft age, and that at least three years are required to train a fiEeman. If any considerable number of firemen was draft ed some companies. MT. Hughes said. would either have to be discontinued or manned by inexperienced men.

WOULD EXEMPT ALL FIREMEN, COPS AND
 MEDICAL STUDENTS
Chairmen of Appeal Boards in New York State Meet and Pass Resolutions
 Urging Amendment

New York, August 19.-Exemption of policemen, firemen and medical and den- tai students from the operations of the President Wilson in resolutions adopt ed at meeting of chairmen of the dis trict appeal boards of the state of New York. Charles E. Hughes, who presided, was instructed to explain the action to Goveronr Whitman, through whom the request to the President was made.
 The resolution dealing with medical and dental students asked the President to detail all medical and dental students and internes in hospitals, after they have been drafted, to schools of instruction or hospitals to continue their preparatory course until called for service.'
 In explaining the resolution to Gov- ernor Whitman, Mir. Hughes quoted Dr.. s. s. Goldwater of the New York city district board of appeals, as saying that 14 years ago there were 27,615 medical students in this country, while last year there were only 13,121. About 4OO0 internes are required annually by the hospitals, while the available supply before the war was only 5000. Hospital staffs also have suffered heavily by men entering the medical reserve corps. Thirty per cent of the countrys medical students had been called to appear before local draft boards before August 10, and indications are that 20 per cent additional will be brought into the service under the sec ond call

QUOTED MEDICAL COMMITTEE

MT. Hughes quoted the central medical war committee of London as hoping the lack of doctors in Great Britain could be made up in the supply of doctors from the United States, and added:
 The present prospect Is that we shall neither be able to assist Great Britain, nor have an adequate supply for our own needs"
 What applied to medical students and internes in hospitals, wrote MT. Hughes, also applied to dental students.
 The committee also authorized stand ard forms for applicants claiming dis charge because they were engaged in necessary industries, including agrfcul- ture. Owing to the wide diversity of these industries the government made no such provision. ThS form adopted today established a plan under which the boards may have such information as they may deem necessary.

HOW TO INCREASE
THE FOOD SUPPLY
Inter- Cropping and Double Crop.
ping is Best Method to Fol
low, Says Lampson

The past few weeks there has been
much needed agitation in regard to
increasing the supply Of food products
on account of the wsr.
The most practical way that it can
be increased in Benton county, is by
inter-cropping and double cropping.
There is great deal of area between
fruit trees that could and under pres
emit conditions should be growing pro-
duce. Part of the land has been clean
cultivated, and is probably too impov-
erished to grow anything but beans,
but beans will do well, even on or
chard land that has been clean culti-
waited. They are one of the most pro-
fitable and most needed crops at the
present time. The beans being le-
gume, will rather improve than de-
plete such soil. In regard to spraying
the trees where beans are growing be-
tween them, it will only require a lit
tie more careful driving and handling
of the hose than is ordinarily the case.
Most orchards are growing cover
crops. It will improve the physical
condition of the soil to pillow the cover
crop under, and grow cultivated crop
one year. Most Of the fertility that
the cultivated crop takes out, can be
very easily replaced, by reseeding to
cover crop. The land that has had
cover crops in will be excellent for
any cultivated crop.
In the case of growing corn between
the fruit trees, it would probably be
necessary to use only every other row
for the cultivated crops, on account Of
the spraying.
Double Cropping
In regard to double cropping, any
land that is growing a crop which
will be taken off by the middle of June
to the first of July, can be plowed and
reseeded to corn, late potatoes, beard
less barley or Sudan grass. Any land
that can be cleared of its first crop by
the middle of July to the first of Aug
ust, can be seeded to turnips. The
market for this crop is of course linn
tied under normal conditions, but un-
der such conditions as we now face, of
great shortage of stock and food sup
ply, the turnips will make a very good
substitute for good per cent Of stock
food and some human food.
| Detailed information on the prepar-
alton of ground, seeding, irrigation,
etc., Of any of these crops, will be fur
nished upon request, by the County
Agricultural Office.
