COUNTY AGENTS ARE
CAPTAINS OF COMMIssARY

The county agents constitute Ameri-
can agriculture S first line of defense.
They are the men in the first line
trenches, zealously guarding the far
mer's interests and bringing to his at.
tention all that is of immediate pra,.
tieal value in our scientific teaching,
and fortifying this with results from
the experience of the most successful
hard-headed practical farmers of each
county.
At time like the present, when the
nation is engaged in great war
wherein food production is of vital
military Importance, the value of the
county agent to the government can
hardly be over-emphasized.
Since the United States became a
belligerent, the county agent has done
valient war service. In counties having
agents, it was possible during the past
summer to secure truly wonderful re-
suits, in quickly and adequately meet
ing difficult labor situation; in locar-
ing available seed stocks; in arranging
for farm credits for the purchase Of
machinery and fertilizer; in supplying
tractor power, and in other forms Of
effective leadership, all contributing to
a great increase in the production Of
spring wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and
other food crops; and, finally in assist
ing facilitating marketing. ''-
Some Of the most important bates
Of this war will be won during 1918
in the furrows and fields Of America.
The county agents Win be the captains
of the soldiers Of the Commissary who
win make these Victories possible.-Carl
shurz vrooman.

DRY HOLLOW AND DIVIDE CREEK

Last Saturday, December Is w. J.
Smart and his l6 year old daughter.
Mamie, met with quite an accident on
the Dry Hollow road Miss Smart was
learning to run their new Ford and &C.
companied by her father went For
spin to Silt. Miss Smart was driving
the car, and, while coming home, and
directly opposite the old cabin previous
ly occupied by Fred Hasselbush, Miss
Smart started around the sharp horse
shoe bend in the road as the car start
ed down into the bend Miss Smart
turned off the gas and applied tn.
foot brake, but through some defect,
the brake failed to work as the ear
went down around the curve. She
handled the car with skill until she
struck chuck hole and the car skid
ded toward the lower bank, but Miss
Smart quickly put the ear back in the
road, but at the same time Mr.. Smart
reached to turn off the gas, and bump
ing his daughters arm, caused her to
turn the steering wheel, and being 80
close to the edge of the bank, the car
skidded and went over the high steep
bank on the lower side, turning over
twice and stopping in the bottom of
Dry Hollow. Miss Smart still held the
wheel when the car stopped rolling and
was not hurt, but Mr.. Smart was
pinned down under the car, but was
not seriously hurt. He was squeezed
by the car laying on him, but it is
hoped that he will be the same in a
few days. The top of the car was
completely ruined, the body badly brok-
en-, two Tenders mashed, the windshield
broken, two tires torn open and the
radiator badly bent and broken. The
Dry Hollow road has been in poor con-
dition all summer and grain hauling
was hindered much by the chuck holes
and holes in the bridges. 1t looks rs
though our county commissioners could
do something in this section Of the
county once in a while, as the Dry Hol-
low road has the most travel Of any
road between Glenwood and Rifle, but
if we want the road repaired, it 10 up
TO-. us to do it, also, patch holes in the

behalf of the American Red Cross we
acknowledge with thanks the receipt
of your generous contribution of three
cartons of hospital supplies received
December 10th, 1917 and to assure YOU

noon truck from one of the companies
was at the Red Cross warehouse here
in camp to take out lot of about $50

To all County Food Administrators
The government has issued an order
to conserve and stop the boarding of
flour and asks you to notify all the
retailers. in your county. that they must
limit the sales of flour, to parties IN
town or living within reasonable Dis
tanee to one 90 lb. sack at a time.
This does not include hotels, restau-
rants or parties living at distance,
who only come to town occasionally,
or once in two or three months: These
people are entitled to flour enough to
carry them over. Hotels and restau-
rants are entitled to -four enough to
supply them for thirty days.
Retailers must use their Judgment in
selling flour and try to prevent per-
sons from buying in several places.
They should not sell flour to new Gus
toners or persons who are not in the
habit of buying all their supplies from
them, and it is up to the retail mer-
chant to be in the clear as there is no
excuse for ignorance of the law.
Yours very truly,

Both Worn Out.

Walter Whiteman, an employee OF
the Adams Express company in Co
lumbus, Ind, was unloading cali
consigned from Columbus to Indian
apolis, when the calf showed dispo'
sition to ramble. It rambled all
around, in and out of town, and White
man had TO forsake his other duties
and follow after. The chase continued
from four o'clock in the afternoon un-
til about ten o'clock at night, when II
was a drAw between the calf and
Whiteman. At that hour Whiteman
walked up 20 the calf and the animal
accompanit him back to the Penn.

protest.

j. W. Cooper was one Of the contest
ants IN the democratic primary held
Saturday in the seventh judicial cir
cult, and while he did not pass under
the wire as a winner he made a splen-
did race, coming in third. The two
men ahead OF HIM will have to decide
for the nomination IN a runof.
In his home town of Smlthvilie,
which cast 800 votes, he received 268.
In his home county of Dekalb. which
cast 800 votes, he received 699. MIR.

new CLERK AND MASTER.
c. G, Black Resigns and !, E. Thurman
Appointed to Fill Vacancy.

Chas. e. Black has resigned as Clerk
and Master of the Chancery Court
here and Judge A. H. Roberts has ap-
pointed /. F.. Thurman to the vacancy
and Mr.. Thurman will take charge to-
day.
MIR. Black has served as clerk of the
Chancery Court here for nearly thir-
teen years, having resigned as cashier
of the First National Bank to accept
the clerkshlp. During the time Mr..
Black has served as clerk the office has
been conducted with the utAost tair-
ness and courtesy and attorneys have
been loud IN their praise of the careful
and exact manner IN wAIch the business
of the Office has been conducted. No
man in the county deserved or enjoys
a larger measure of conf lence and re-
spect of those who know Mr.. Black
best than he has enjoyed for several
years. HIS work as cashier of the
bank won for him the confidence and
good will of almost every business man
in the county and through al his years
of service as clerk he has IN no way
reduced that high sense OF regard in
which he is held. The writer has
known Mr.. Black personally and intl-
mately for more than ii teen years and
in all that time we have. found HIM
courteous, honorable to the last ex-
treine, and reasonable.
Just what line of work he will en-
gage In he Is not now prepared to
state, but it is surmised by some that
ne will comparatively soon assume an
other public position, where his SER
vices will be highly satisfactory.

'Tt is time for Us to realize that we

that this great country Of ours cost

only due to the loyalty, sacrifice and
service Of our forefathers that we have
a country, and 1t Is our highest duty
to preserve It unimpaired and pass 1t
on to posterity, no matter what the
cost may be. Our citizenship and their
ancestors came from all parts of the
world to make this country a home
and enjoy its blessings and opportu-
mites; hence, in the crisis before US,
It is the duty Of everyone to stand
squarely back of our country and be
prepared to defend the flag. Every

can or pro-German. Great as the coun-
try is,. there is not room enough for

POTTER ELECTED MAYOR.
Wins Over DR.. Lewis--Bad Weather Re-
suits in Light Vote.

The city election Saturday brought
out light vote, the total vote cast be
ing only 81. but had the vr'e heer %ul
there would have been 200 or mo Q. S
W. Potter was the successful candidate
for mayor, winning over DR.. v. L.
Lewis by 16 votes.
Mr.. Potter made his campaign or
the pledge of macadamizing Mair
street before the year is gone.
Whether or not that really influenced
votes is disputed question, although
practically every one IS strongly IN ia
vor of the proposed Improvement OF
Main street
Owing to the season icing so tar ad-
vanced and winter weather being now
with US. there is no likelihood that Mr..
Potter will attempt to do any special
work on the streets until spring. BY
that time it may be possible for him to
secure cars for hauling the crushed
lime rock or Stag for surfacing. Every
citizen should lend all the aid and en-
possible for what Mr..
Potter proposes to do Is very badly
needed and will do more in the way of
lnprovem of our town than any
single thing now in sight.
The following is the vote as cast.
The first tour aldermanlc> names were
the men elected. Judge G. p. Burnett
had no opposition for member of the
school board.

MUST HAVE MORE MEAT.
Backyords and Farms Must Raise More
Chickens, Ducks and Geese.

Because of the war the meat reserves
! of the world are diminished. The
herds of live stock in Europe have beer
reduced by slaughter made necessary
meat production IN the years just pre-
ceding the war was barely sufficient
tor our own uses. And yet We are
new called upon, not only to feed our
selves, but to feed Europe to large
extent. And we must do 1t If we win
the war.
Where will we get the meat? Yon
can do your part, OIL your farm and IN
your backyard by producing more pouI-
try-lncreasing the supply of eggs and
chickens, geese and ducks. Our total
number OF beef animals can not be IN
creased with sufficient quickness. Sew
eral years are required to build up cat
tie herds. Hogs can be increased con-
sderably IN year. They can be Ia
creased faster than any other meat an
imal. But poultry can be doubled IN a
year. 1t offeis the fastest and cheap
est possible source OF meat increase.
That is why it Is SO important that ev-
eryone help IN poultry production next
year.
The more poultry and eggs we pro-
duce the more poultry ard eggs we
will eat. The more Of that food We
eat tho less beef and pork we will need
or want-leavinS that much more to
60 TO Europe. Thus We do indirectly
the thing We can't do directly. BY
poultry production We get quickly more
meat to win the war. although we can
not increase in that time the number
of our meat animals.
Get some good hens. You will help
win the war. You will reduce your
own cost Of living. You will turn
waste into food. Get some good hens.
