THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.

The greatest sacrifice that any man can make for his country is to give his life for it. But duty devolves upon us who remain at home. That duty is to see that those men who are now fighting and who are preparing to light are supplied with everything that the great heart of America can provide to make them strong. Ve must support them no matter what the cost to us. If they are willing to sacrifice their lives on the battle fields for us, are we who stay behind unwilling to sacrifice something of our convenience, of our comfort, something that we enjoy every day, in order that we may give them more for the fight? We who stay behind, old and young, alike, must devote ourselves daily and hourly to the task of saving, economizing, and sacrificing comfort, convenience and even life itself. Another thing that we can do is to maintain and uphold the American spirit. By our example we can make those who are less fortunat situated than ourselves, imbibe that spirit and do thelr part. This is the duty of the hour.
 Mary Sweeney, Or. 8. School No. 3.
 America has a great task before her. That task is to make democracy safe for the world. The task rests in large measure on the people that are old enough to join the colors and fight on the battlefield.
 The greatest sacrifice 8 man can make is to give his life for his country. If men give their lives for us we should do something for them. We should supply them with food to make them strong for the fight. We who stay behind should economize and save, so that our soldiers may have enough food.
 We should also keep up the spirit of America. If we all live up to the sen tence uttered by Nathan Hale when he was about to be hung as spy, "l only regret that have but one life to live for my country" America will be invinciblel

GERMANY THREE YEARS
AGO AND TODAY

Three years ago Germany was re-
ioicing in Astounding prosperity. Its
commerce encircled the globe; its
industrial activity was the wonder
and admiration of all nations; its
scientists ranked among the worlds
foremost leaders in achievements; its
people were honored by the whole
world, even though some Of their
peculiarities caused many thought
full men to regard with some degree
of fear the future of a country
where the teaching that Knight
makes right had been sapping the
moral strength of the nation. 1t was
not realized, however, that the mic
robe of this disease had so thorough
ly penetrated the whole body of Ger,
man life as to have made it rotten to
the core.
Outwardly Germany was fair to
look upon, and until the fearful day
when Kaiser Wilhelm and his follow
ers Embossed the spirit of Evil upon
the world, Germany ranked among
the greatest and most honored ma
tons on earth.
Today, Germany is not merely
hated, it is regarded with the most
supreme contempt and loathing by
every right-thinking man on earth.
Germany, the once rich and pro,
gressive country, is today staggering
beneath a load of indebtedness which
bids fair to wreck and ruin the Gov
ernment and the people of that land
and of Austria as we'll.
From a country of civilization
Germany has become g. country OF
barbarism.
From a land of prosperity, it has
become a land of almost endless pow
erty, where woe and want and gaunt
hunger are everywhere in evidence
Millions of it's ablest men are dead
Every family throughout its Dor
ders has suffered the agony OF the
three wears of it's hell-born, unjusti'
fable war.
The very flower of it's life, the mer
whose abilities would have carried
Germany to still greater world pre-
eminence in commerce and industry:
have, with their bodies, ~fattended the
fields of Belgium and France and
other countries.

LIVESTOCK AN AID
TO SOIL FERTILITY

When properly handled, livestock
is an efficient aid to soil fertility.
We are interested in increasing and
maintaining the fertility of our soil
because we are to prosper in direct
ratio to the richness Of u land.
Under the menace of the cotton boil
weevil, we should be all the more
interested in maintaining soil tertll-
ity because rich lands are essential
to cotton production under weevll
conditions. With an intensified and
diversified system of farming, the
livestock industry occupies no mean
place. This is a type of farming
that will have to be adopted under
'weevil conditions. If we do not
adopt the system or prepare to
adopt it, the system will necessarily
be forced upon US within the next
few years and the change will be
under pressure.
Livestock will aid materially in
taking care of the rough feeds pro-
duced on the farm and will produce
compost for enriching the soil. We
must grow our feeds and market
them through livestock on the farm,
if we are to prosper with stock OF
any kind. In handling livestock,
probably the largest leak is sustained
in the management of the compost
or barn yard manures. To care for
the compost produced on the farm,
means a great dtal of work but It
is work that IAN be done at odd
times and it is work that will pay
handsome dividends, dividends that
can be observed for years to come.
it IS the dividend Of increased soil
fertility, and after we get the habit
we will not be willing to 60 back to
the old wasteful way again. The best
way to handle the farm manure is
to clean the stalls every day and
haul the compost to the fields two or
three times tach week. Where this
is impractical, the manure should
be sheltered and hauled to the fields
as often as possible. Plenty of bed
ding should be used at all times so
that no part of the fertility may be
lost through teaching. The depart
ment of agriculture estimates that
$1,000, 100000 worth of fertilizer
value is lost annually in the United
States by neglecting the farm ma
nures. We are facing a serious
shortage of commercial fertilizers,
and it behooves US to pay more at
tention to the conservation of farm
manure.

DRINK MORE WATER
IF KIDNEYS BOTHER

Uric acid in meat excites the kid
neys, they become o~verworked; get
sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps
of lead. The urine becomes cloudy;
the bladder is ~irritated, and you may
be obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night. When the
kidneys clog you must help them
flush off the body's urinous waste or
you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the
kidney region, you suffer from back
ache, sick headache, dizziness, stom-
ach gets sour, tongue coated and you
feel rheumatic twinges when the
weather is bad.
Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist your
ounces of Jad Salts; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a FIVE days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This ia
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activl-
ty, also to n~eutralize the acids in
urine, so it no longer is a source of
irritation, thus ending bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves-
vescent li~thia-water drink which ev-
eryone should take now and then to
keep the kidneys clean and active.
Druggists here say they sell lots of
Jad Salts to folks who believe in
overcoming kidney trouble while it
is only trouble.-Adv.
