Wake Up. Farmers.

a. Under a picture of three French
women dragging harrow, George
Weymouth, editor of Farm Life, Spen-
Ger, Ind, makes solemn appeal to
the patriotism OF his subscribers. In
the course of it he says:
"Our weakened allies must be fed,
and only you can feed them,
wake up, you farmers and do your
part,-for there is nobody else under
heaven to do it.
"Organize your farm and your
neighborhood for maximum produc-
ton.
do not listen to the spies and
whisperers and sedition mongers who
try to hold your hands.
TT was these secret treacheries that
disrupted Russia and weakened Italy.
"They must not be permitted to dis
rupt and weaken America.
your work must beN done. and If
you have to skimp a little in conserv-
ing food, If you have to contribute Of
your money. If you have to toll for
extra hours-these things are trif1es.
Think of the men in the trenches
and the women that work like oxen.
Look at this picture again, and
thank your God that you have the
blessed privilege of doing your bit to
help win this war;"

hopeful side of it all, as viewed through
spectacles which see Germany ready

Though the negotiations entered
into at Brest-Litovsk may mean moth
Ing so far as bringing around per-
smanent peace between all the powers
engaged In war, they tend to show a
weakening on the part of Germany.
They show conclusively that Ger
many's aims in 1914 and Germany's
aims In the waning days Of 1917 are
two separate and distinct things.
These aims may again be modified in
1918, modified to such an extent as
to astonish the world. And every
modification is but another confession
Of failure. When penitenee finally

Germany than the Germany that star
tied the world some three years ago

the hopeful signs that point the way

('Twas just across the street from

The tiny fiat, the window bay,
The curtains draped so all might

The busters whisk. the moving broom,
The movements light as elm fay;
And oh, tits lonesome in my room
Since Little Housewife went away.
The ripping hair of golden brown
Beneath a nurse-like cap of white,
The apron neat, the trim cut gown.
Gray eyes that sparkled clear and
bright;
The busy hands and tireless feet,
The clear-toned voice that carolled
And oh, tbs lonesome IN our street
Since Little Housewise went away.

That this small happiness should
stay?
For oh, tits lonesome here for me

No Doubt About II.

William J. Bryan told this story re-
Gently to Western audience to IL
1ustrate his attitude on the presiden-
tial question, as concerning himself:
A Western cowboy once decided to
attend a dance which was being held
in the second-story dance-hall In his
town. He was comfortably wellsEorti-
fed with liquid cheer, and had hard
ly climbed the outside stairway Sand
appeared on the dance floor before
the floor manager arrived and quiet
ly escorted him out
He went down, imbibed a few more
drinks, and came back. This time
he was hustled out a little more
promptly and with much less cere-
mony.
After further attempts to drown the
sting of these rebuffs he essayed a
third visit. This time he had hardly
opened the door when a well-placed
kick sent him spinning down the stairs
to terra f1rma-
Sitting up and rubbing a variety Of
bruises, he remarked:

they don't want me up there"

rHD REWARDS OF SACRIFICE.


Beginning the New Year right, New
Britain will 90 on q coal ration tomor-
row. Details Of the system under
which citizens here will be appor-
toned coal have been made public in
the columns Of this newspaper and
should. by this time, be familiar to all.
Two tons Of coal will be the maximum
allowance to any dwelling, tenement
or apartment house which accommo-
dates less than five families
Hereafter, when consumers want
their coal it will be necessary for
them to file a written order with the
dealer. This order will contain data
Of moment, such as the immediate
need, the quantity used over given
period, and how much coal is already
ON hand. In this way the fuel admin
istration hopes to prevent the hoard
ing Of coal. Further. an equitable
distribution Of coal will be brought
about In this manner.
There are many things the people
of this day and generation are asked
to suffer which. in the long run, will
be obliterated with the closing Of the
war. Until then, however, the sacri-
fees must be made, and the better
the spirit in which they are practiced,
the better for all concerned. The
checkrein may hurt at times, but its
pinch is only temporary. When the
golden days come those who have
gone through period of deprivation
will be best able to enjoy them.

Bouys
BY LIEUT.,

Buoys are the tra1lc policemen Of
the sea- They are mounted-astride
of the rolling combers. Their de-
meanor Is unutterably placid. Their
tour of duty Is six months, or longer
when the Lighthouse Tender Is late.
No city cop mods 50 kindly when
you pass as does the bobbing harbor
beacon. Should you disobey the
channel laws or defy the right-of-
way your piracy is not disputed. BY
its warning alone the buoy does its
duty. Punishment is In the hands of
Providence and the Admiralty Courts.
In one way only can the quiet buoy
be vicious. Cut an inch too close in
your course and long steel tentacles
of wire and chain entwine pro-
pellers and shaft and rudder until
even the greatest dreadnaught lies
helplessly drifting. Whereupon there
is the Devil to pay; and his wages
are courts martial, demotion, dis.
missal and once, in a foreign navy,
suicide.
The first buoy was several logs
dashed together and anchored by a
stone. Man was just venturing upon
the waters. Rats ready-made by Ma
ture were bestowed upon him In

better and better RATS. His old
ones anchored by rattan-held boul-
ders came to mark his landing place

Where Bites Arc Treated.
no.. (World Outlook)


Africans go to the mission dipensa-
ries to be cured of bites from all kinds
Of animals, and a large number of
them are cured. The commonest bites
are from snakes. In Inhambane are
eighteen to twenty varieties of pois-
onous snakes, some very deadly whose
bites mean a fight for life. Hyenas
kill or carry off hundreds of children
each year. and most of those who are
rescued have terrible scalp wounds, as
the hyena carries a child by the head.
Other biting pests of the region are
lions, from whom few escape alive;
scorpions. very poisonous and fond OF
getting into beds; hypo flies, large
flies that in biting take huge pieces
of flesh and cause great swellings;
sharks, of which the bay is full.
But the most common bite and
seemingly the hardest to heal is the
human bite. The Africans when they
get angry use their teeth to good ad-
vantage. There is scarcely morning
that several do not come to the dis
pensary. One boy had his lower lip
bit off and for him q new lip was
made. ?.
