HE'S NOT TO BLAME

The newspaper man is blamed for a whole lot of things he can't help. such as using partiality in mentioning visitors, giving news about some folks and leaving others out. etc. He simply prints all the news he can find. Some people inform him about such things; others do not. An editor should not be expected to know the names and residences of all your uncles. aunts and cousins even if he did see them get on or off a train. Tell us about 1t. It's news that makes d newspaper. and every man woman and child can be associate editor f they only will Never apologize when you give this bit of information to an editor for If there ives one so dead that Ee has lost aupreci- ation of such favors he is dead indeed to every virtue that i'm parts value to a newspaper -EX- change.

 It is said that the average cost of producing q bushel of wheat as far as physical labor is con- cerned is 45 cents.
 Next Saturday. August 25. is the day appointed for our county wheat day when arrangements will be made for ordering seed wheat. oats and rye. District Agent Harry F. Kapp will be here to help out n the meeting. We feel that this is one of the most important considerations we have confronted. and trust that the people will carefully consider 1t before casting it aside. An increased acreage in oats and rye should be planted. This can be done without interfering with the usual acreage planted to other crops.

DC uiC iS NaSt,
 ''The Rubecon is crossed. v
 In.these critical war times Ne vada county has wrought nobly in preparing herself for the pos sible food emergency that con- fronts the nation, but instead of letting up in our efforts we should put forth renewed effort that we may not become embarrassed.
 The amount of canned goods this year is fully double that of any previous year; the corn, pea, peanut. potato and cane crop ls good. Cotton, in places is as good as could be wished for. Fall gardens and potatoes have been planted and are beginning to come up.
 In the face of all these things there is still "One thing lackest thou" and that is that we may prepare in the way of production of wheat in sufficient quantities for home use.

Won Hertling evidently will have be-
hind him at the start at least, the
united support of all parties in the
reichstag except the conservatives
and radical Socialists. He will be
started on his way with formal vote
of confidence after his speech outlin-
ing his policy.
According to the chancellor's organ,
the Germania, the reichstag will be
convoked in nidNovember especially
to listen to the declarations of the
new head Of the government. An in
terpellation will be the occasion for
the speech. because the rules of the
reichstag permit the members to
register their opinions of the govern
ment after an Interpolation debate.
Berlin political writer's agree in
predicting that Philip Scheidemann
and his Socialist followers, who, it was
feared, would withdraw from formal
membership in the majority bloc, and
also the national liberals. Who never
definitely entered it, will form part
of the new coalition majority.

Blowing up bridges as they
retreated, the Germans on
the Aisne front in northern
France have given up their
precarious hold on the Che
min Des Danes plateau and
retired to the north bank of
the Ailette river along a
front of Approximately 13
miles, closely followed by
the French.
This retirement by the
German crown prince has
been in prospect since the re-
cent successful drive by Cen
eral Petain southwest of
Laon, which carried the
French to the banks of the
Oise-Aisne canal at the west
erly end of the Chemin Des
Danes and gave them artil-
lery domination of a large
section of the German lines
to the east.
