10 you know about the new sys-
TEN Of supporting fehces? The old
method of placing heavy, rigid posts
every few feet has been demonstrated
to be wrong in principle. The new
system of supporting fences is to make
them on the principle Of a fiddle string.
You know, a fiddle string Is fastened
at each end. says Farm Machinery.
Anything that hits 1t at any point pro-
duces stresses 10 the string, that are
transmitted to the terminals. The
new fences are built in the same way.
Two solid terminals are built. 40 rods
apart. Between these the wire IL
stretched tightly, but It will sag be.
cause the distance between terminals
10 so long. So It Is held up from the
ground by thin, flexible steel supports
that are anchored 10 inches below the
surface Of the ground. With these
bow-string fences, when a sudden
shock comes on the fencing wire, such,
for example, as a bull charging the
fence, the flexible supports bend In an
even curve from their point of anchor
age, their knifelike edges cutting the
ground and %cushionlng against the
earth. The fencing wire acts exactly
as though the flexible supports were
not there, In taking care of the shock.
It is transmitted directly to the end
terminals, which are made amply
strong to resist them. 49,

WAR AND PROGRESS.

America has not sought after war, or hurried
into war; and America will now wage war with all
the better spirit and all the greater effectiveness
for three years Of patient restraint.
War is, after all, not the supreme evil. On the
contrary, the records Of history Individually show
that. through war, humanity has steadily advanc-
ed to greater heights of progress. There is no
great step in the worlds development that has
not been preceded by, and, indeed, brought about
by, an era of war.
This is an old, old world. It was old when man
first set foot upon it. Through ages recorded only
in the rocks, it had been shaping itself for mans
habitation; and through ages since then, marked
by struggles that have engulfed whole nations, it
has gone steadily forward, to what ultimate OBJ
jective we know not, but always improving, always
advancing, each terrific spasm of war serving to
sweep away ancient abuses and to clear the ground
for building anew on better lines.
A glance at history will show this. We our
selves went through hard trials in revolutionary
days; but out of those struggles the great hope
of democracy, the American republic, was born.
For more than twenty years Europe was devas-
tated by the Napoleonic wars; but out Of them
emerged modern civilization. Our own Civil War
marked not the end but the beginning Of a great
prosperity, coupled with new ideals Of liberty.
The Cars peace palace of the Hague was the
dream Of an age Of peace but war has snapped the
letters from the Russian people.
Progress can come only through ideals and
through sacrifice, and true ideals and high and
generous individual sacrifices are born only Of
times Of stress. A man must suffer and sacrifice
before he can achieve. He must learn to devote
himself to his purpose with q huge single-ninded-
mess. Just 50 with a nation. What may come
out of this war we cannot tell; but if the lessons
Of history teach anything, they spell assurances
that all will be well with our future in proportion
as we do our part as men and women.
Let us welcome Lefore county to the ranks Of
the progressives. The supervisors have Just auth
lorized contracts for 1874 miles Of graveled high
ways. The 'cost win be $6e4,Ooo, over 1920 per

WILL HUNGER M

"
We may put it down as a self evident fact hal
if the people of this country persist, during the
coming year, in living on the same extravagant
scale of former years, we as a nation will strike
the rocks.
Experts in the agricultural department have
estimated that the actual waste OF food IN the
United States is $780, 600, 900 annually. This is IN
addition to the enormous consumption in excess
of what is really needed to support life comfort
ably.
The international Institute of Agriculture
sends this solemn warning from Rome: The
worlds food crop is deficient and the situation is
becoming alarming"
Now we are doing much talking as to the duty
of raising bumper crops, of increasing our pro-
|duction in every way possible, which is perfectly
right. But more than this is needed. We must
act as well as talk.
Heretofore the United States has always had
a safe surplus of foodstuffs from one harvest
then the next garnered. This very fact, possibly,
has had more to do with fostering our entrava-
gance than anything else. We have felt that our
resources were boundless and that we could never
come to want.
Now, however, that surplus has vanished, and
in its place we have only gold, the most useless
commodity in the world unless it can be exchanged
for that which we need. And at last we must
wake up and face the fact that we are up against
a food shortage, and gold can not buy food where
70 food exists.
The solution of the food problem is up to every
nan. woman and child in the country. 1t is use
'css to mince words for fear of hurting some ones
ceilings - EXTRAVAGANZA AND WASTE
MUST CEASE. 1t is useless to undertake to so
lace ourselves with the prospect Of a large increase
in production, That of itself will not relieve the
situation if extravaganza continues. MI must
exert themselves to PRODUCE, and ALL must
exert themselves to SAVE.
You, our farmer friend, because you have
,lenty and are raising plenty more, have NO
RIGHT to waste that plenty or to throw it away
IN needless extravaganza. Others will NEED it,
and it is their RIGHT that they should be able
to get it.
You, Mr.. Rich Man, just because you have
plenty of money to pay for it, have NO RIGHT
to waste that which OTHERS NEED, and Of
which your extravaganza will deprive them.
Let us not be deceived. 1t is up to each one
rich. poor, high or low-to conserve the food sup
ply. For waste this year will be nothing less
! than a CRIME, and should be so recognized and
treated.
A few months ago, when gold was flowing into
our Golfers, in yellow streams, we strutted and
boasted of our boundless, wealth. We compared
ourselves to Midas-that everything we touched
turned to gold. And now we are in grave danger
of finding ourselves in his predicament-our gold
useless because we can not eat it.
Economy in any line is ~praiseworthy, but
economy in food products just now is the highest
type of patriotism, and the most disloyal of all is
the man or woman whe wilfully wastes the nation's
food.

FOOD A COMING.

All signs point to a serious stringency OF food
stuffs by fall, with it's consequent aeroplanlng OF
prices and suffering to the poor.
All signs also point to the fact that the nation
will get the taste of an autocratic food dictator.
President Wilson has already told congress
that such a step will probably be necessary. Inc
president also is in favor Of strict regulation Oh
selling prices before it becomes necessary 70 ap-
ply the food dictatorship. He has virtually told
congressional leaders that something must be
done. and the something will be something radl-
cal and sweeping.
Naturally, in a time like the present, the arts
az war and not the arts Of peace will prevail. War
doesn't stop at innovations, and breaks precedents
with impunity. New situations require new treat
ments.
And it looks as if our government will not be
a bit backward in applying new methods to this
new situation.

WAR TAXES.
n N N "a

The usual method Of fhaicting war taxes is I'M
satisfactory. The taxation OF the necessities or
life are onerous, especially in a time when the cost
of necessities already are sky high. !
To the government will come the task Of
deyising means Of taxing the country in q way
that will not unload the heaviest part Of such tax
alton on the shoulders Of the poor; as is usually
done.
Great Britain has shown the way. Premier
.Asquitl's government has not loaded taxes at one
point and held them soft on the other, but has
devised a system that forces everyone to con-
tribute according to his standard of life, wealth,
or poverty.

In these trying hours there may arise a few
who will try to get rich quick at the expense OF
the nation and its people. But it will be neither
profitable or wise for them to attempt anything
ef the kind.
If their business is national in its scope, the
government will handle them without gloves. The
president has 50 warned them.
If their business is local in its character, we,
the people, will see that they get their just de-
ssertS.
There must be no price boosting, no gouging,
M angling for sudden wealth for the few at the
expense Of misery for the many.
The man who can not be a patriot from choice
must have it thrust upon him from necessity.
The people are mighty and their will must pre-
vail. 1t must be a period Of loyalty and live and
let live.
