GET READY FOR A COMMUNITY
FAIR NEXT FALL.

To some readers it may seem very
early to begin talking about a con-.
munity fair next fall, but it's really
none too soon. Just as soon in the
new year as possible Mr.. Farmer, and
Mrs. Farmer, and the farm boy and
girl, should begin laying plans to walk
away with this or that particular prize
next fall.
And every neighbOrhoOd ought to
have a community fair Here is
letter right now from one of our
friends that shows what almost any
neighborhood may do
1--WE had 600 enthusiastic people at
Thicketty Mountain Schoolhouse for
our community fair Thanksgiving Day
men, women, children and babies
from six neighboring school districts.
In the livestock exhibit the mules,
COWS, hogs and chickens were all Of
lut DtSl, amy NOlh, NdIlCu plo-
ducts and other articles of the home
were most creditable. The agricul-
tural products were a treat to look
upon Nineteen babies were in the
baby show.
"Then we had Thanksgiving eXer-
cises, three excellent brief addresses,
a spelling match, cake walk, athletic
stunts-and a dinner unriyaled in
quantity and quality
Before the day was over, the peo.
pie voted to make the Thanksgiving
community fair an annual event
Macedonia school was quick to offer
for the meeting place, and so all the
schools and communities present are
to join her in holdig the next one at
Macedonia schoohouse."

UP TO US TO WIN.

About the only danger that could
threaten the success of our arms in
the war upon which this country is
launched would be a minimizing Of
the importance of the work before
us.
After almost three years Of war,
after pouring out blood and treasure
until nearly bankrupt in both, the al
lied nations yet seem almost as far
from victory as at the beginning
Their leaders admit the terrible de
struction wrought by the U-boats, and
frankly rejoice that this country has
elected to cast its lot with them, prac-
tically admitting that without cur aid
victory would stin be far in the fu-
ture.
Now that we are committed to the
fray it should be our single aim to
carry it to a successful issue. This
will never be done by half hearted
measures. What the allies need is
material ssstance-money, food and
men. These we must furnish to the
limit of our resources. We must pour
money into their Golfers; we must
dispatch to their shores every pound
of food not absolutely needed to sus-
tain life here; we must send to
France a tremendous army that ad-
ded to those of the allies, will by its
sheer weight of numbers crush out
all opposition.
Let our part in the war be short,
sharp and decisive We must prove
ourselves AMERICANS, and not
slackers.

UNCLE SAM AS A DICTATOR

The United States, drawn into the
great war against its will, may be.
come the virtual dictator Of the world
before the war is over. Realizing that
they are dependent upon the United
States to feed them as well as to fur.
nish the money and men needed to
win the war, the allies will undoubt.
edly defer greatly to the judgment Of
the American president in all matters
of great importance, But America
will drive no unfair bargain. The
Stars and Stripes will float to the
breeze on the crimson fields of France,
but justice and humanity will march
beneath its folds,

PRISONERS SHOULD WORK.

As an aid to crops and other lines
of production just now, the old costly
custom OF keeping prisoners lying
idle in Jail should be dispensed with
Every able bodied prisoner i'm the
country should he put to some product
i've employment It has long been the
contention of those engaged in prison
reform that we have not the right 90
cOnfine men and force them to remain
in idleness, this being the cause OF O.
large per cent of the sickness and
deaths in our jails.
But aside from the question Of the
humane treatment of these prisoners
themselves, there is that of the cost
of maintenance. An idle man eats
practically as much as a worker. And
the working man must feed the idler.
Every prisoner after conviction, be
his term long or short, should be re.
quired to literally fulfill the terms Of
sentence, which from time immemO.
rial has always read as such a period
of time at hard labor"
The county jails, the city wOrE
houses, and all branches of the laws
punatiye agencies should yield up
their idle inmates that they may join
in the great army of producers this
year. The small offenders could
largely be placed upon their own re-
cOgnizance, while those restrained for
graver offenses could be put to work
where an oversight could be kept of
them.
A ninety day Jail sentence just at
this time is equivalent to a good work
hand through the crop season for the
farmer who would go security ana
feed and work the offender. Such Of
tenders are usually our neighbOrs. or
almost always they are people We
know and frequently could trust to
faithfully serve out the sentence given
them. In fact, the majority would pre-
fer to do so.
Empty the jails and put the inmates
to work. Quit asking men to feed
others who are maintained in idle
ness. Let the prisoner earn his keep
and something besides for the good of
society.

DOWN WITH THE FOOD HOG

We prate loudly Of our patriotism
and our duty to the flag; we call hys-
terically upon the farmer to speed up
production of food crops; we even
seize our spade and hoe and attack
the back yard in our efforts to add tC
the sum total of production. All Of
which is gOod-yery good
But one highly important feature Of
the problem before us must not es-
cape our attention.
THE FOOD HOG MUST BE
PENNED.
Any sane man knows that a large
per cent of the really eXtOrtiOnate
prices of today are not the result OF
an insatiate greed for gain that takes
no account of the dictates of common
humanity
And this greed is not confined to
the wicked trusts. They are bad
enough, we all know, and there is no
excuse to be made for them But
many men in more humble positions
are equally ayariciOus.

LITTLE WILLlE'S ESSAY

One funny thing about a fire is
that it won't start when you want it
to and you can't stop it unless it wants
to. If you try to make a fire in the

shall be produced IN that section.
For instance A certain section of
country has never heretofore raised
sufficient potatoes for home consump-
ton. 1t should be the aim of that sec
ton to raise every bushel needed for
home consumption, and if possible
some to spare.
The same might be said of small
fruits, garden produce, even corn it.
self The great consideration is to
have the stuff itself on the ground
where it is needed for consumption.
This would release large numbers
of cars for use in transporting the
army and its supplies.
If there were any means of accu-
rately determining the number of cars
annually needed to move foodstuffs
from one locality where they are pro
duced in abundance to others where
they are not produced, we would no
doubt be astOnished at the number
required. But by the plan suggested
the matter of distribution would be
small item.
You can not show your loyalty in
any better way than by straining ev-
cry nerve to have yourself independ-
ent of any man in the matter of food.

PEACE MAY BRING 4
4 GREAT MENACE.
, . g 0 . = 9 g . . . >

Foreign Secretary Halfour speaking
before the house OF representatives
recently, said the world only now was
coming TO realize that peace and ma
terial civilization may bring the great
est possible menace TO free govern
ments.
when | was young" he said we
used to flatter ourselves that progress
inevitably meant peace, and that
growth of knowledge was always ac.
companied as its natural fruit by the
growth of good will Unhappily we
know better now, and we know there
is such thing in the world as a pow
er which can. with unvarying persist
ency, focus all the resources of knOwl-
edge and of civilization into the one
great task of making itself the moral
and material master of the world. It
is against that danger that we, the
free peoples OF western civilization,
have banded ourselves together"
The British statesmans words, in
terpreted by many of his hearers as
a warning against premature ending
of the great war, were loudly cheered,
among the applauding spectators be-
ing President Wilson, who broke
another precedent by slipping unno-
ticed into the house gallery to hear
the address.
I'VE English-speaking people have
never been military states and when
the war broke out undoubtedly the
Germans looked around the world es-
timated the value from their point of
view of the nations with whom they
might be concerned and profoundly
cOntemptuOus of our views of civiliza-
ton, they decided that neither British
nor American counted in the struggle
by which they hoped to obtain the
domination of the world. They found
us unprepared; they found us unmili-
tary and because we were unprepared
and because we were unmilitary they
jumped rashly to the conclusion, first,
that we were afraid to fight, and sec
Ondly that if we fought we would be
wholly negligible quantities. | think
they are beginning possibly to find out
their mistake.
Their mistake arose from the utter
incapacity of the German ruling class
to estimate values except in terms of
drilled men and military preparations.
They saw that England and America
were prosperous, were unwarlike, were
immersed in the arts of peace and in
volyed in the industrial interests Incl
dent to a peaceful civilization, and
were therefore material; that we were
incapable Of high ideals or great sacri-
fices and that even if we determined
late in the day to pursue those high
ideals and to make those great sacri-
fices, we should be 50 utterly incOm-
petent in the arts to which they had
devoted so much of their attention
that our interference in the war would
be a thing which they could leave
wholly on one side On that miscal-
culation have been wrecked and will
be wrecked all their hopes. 1t was
their fatal blunder from which they
will never recover, but a blunder
which has saved civilization"
