larger percentage Of buyers Of new
cars in sight and the great decrease in
the efficiency of the steam lines-ut-
ter inability to cope with conditions
in many instances-it is evident that
the dealers and distributors are going
to have to hustle to keep any cars on
the floors. So, when a man has de-
cided to buy, / urge him to do 50 at
the earliest moment. Even if he has
to take his a now, it is better to do
that than not to know when he can be

keep abreast OF. the Unprecedented de-

WHY WE ARE AT WAR

By President University of Notre
 Dame.
 The militariStic spirit iu Germany must perish or America can not sur siYe. When the lion and the lamb lie down together the lamb is alwayl inside the lion, and a peace-loyiug commercial nation can never be safe So long as 3 mi.itariStic. powerful and aggressive nation lies within striking distance and eager to strike
 Let not the gentle-nanuered think that we can have no proper con- cern about the thoughts and the internal organization of neighbor- Ing nations. Where these things are merely matters of taste Ne have, indeed, no right to interfere; but when any strong nation avOws a policy that involves the destruction oG our country We should be less than reasonable, We should be in sane, # We permitted that nation to build up monsuous machine for carrying out its purpose while xe hartered and played. It does not promote the happiness of a kindly fat man to know that a burg lar or a murderer is lying in wait for him with club as he goes his peaceful way on a dark night. That WAS precisely the situation of our people before the war began.
 We rhapsodize over the men of Wash'nEton's time and the stalwarts of Lincoln's day, but let us not for get to acclaim the heroes of this critical hour. Of what avail was it that the Revolutionary patriots created America, and the Civil War patriots unified America, if patriots Of today do not conserve America? This war is as sacred as eiaher Of the other great American wars. and every man and every dollar within the pounds of our country must help win the fight. Whoever Ahirks or shrinks is cOnstructiyely a traitor. This is a war against war, and pacifists themselves, if they were wise. would see in Am ericau victory the only hope of the triumph Of their cause. This war is to purchase permanent peace and it must not end till the spirit of mIlitaristic aggression perishes from inc earth It will require the eX- ertion Of all our peoples gigantic might to see this conflict through. and any American who for any req Eon whatsoever is cold or backward in this war is unworthy of his sa- cred Inheritance.

dustries In America.
 One of the oldest and least known industries in America is the porpolse fishery. whi,h has been operated from Cape Hatteras, in North Carolina, for. about 2CO years. It should attain an unusual prosperity in the next few years. for the bureau of fisheries IS urging more general use of porpoise hides in place of cowhide. It Is an excellent leather and could undouoted- ly be used more widely.
 Heretofore the most valuable prod net of the fishery has been the oil which is extracted from the jaws Of the porpoiSe and Is worth about $2O a gallon. It is universally used for lu- bricating watches and other very del icate mechaniSmS The body blubber is also valuable. Attempts to manu- fracture fertilizer out of the carcasses have failed because Uf the distance from a fuel supply.
 The porpOiSes are taken at Hatteras fin seines operated from tue shore, and if Is probably the only place Ill Amer ica where this has ever been success fully done. During the fall, winter and spring many porpoiSes are seen otr the south Atlantic coast and at Hat teras they come within a few hundred wards of the surf. They are taken by spreading seines about 200 yards out side the surf Inc AS soon as the DOT poIses have come inside the seine 1t ls dragged ashore. Often q whole school of these sea creatures is taken fin A single haul.-Baltimore American.

Some New
 Year Customs

THE sole record of the observance
 of the New Year by the pilgrims
 in the new world, named New England, was most prosalc, most brief. We went to work berlmes," said Alice Morse Earle. the famous investigator os old time American customs. Many of the good Puritan ministers thought the celebration or even notice of the day in any way SavOred Of improper and unchristiau reverence for the heathcu god Janus. Yet they came from q land where New Year was sec ord in importance and in domestic o6- scrvauce only to Christmas. Through out every English county New Years eve was always celebrated. In many if Was called by the pretty name Of Singing Fen. from the custom which obtuiucd of singing the last of the Christmas carols ut that time.
 In Sro,Iaud tho last day Of the year was called by the uglier name of Hog mauuy. name of unknown and in .,yplirable derivation. aEi In Scotland if was regarded aS the most popular of plI the "daft days" uS the Christmas holidays We're termed.

Wintering Idle Horses.

At this time of the year practically
all the heavy work on most farms has
been finished, and during the winter
horses are more or less idle. Since
idle horses give no return in labor
performed the feeding should be as
economical as possible, and proper
care should be taken of the animals
in order that they may be in the best
possible condition for work in the
early spring
Horses should not be confined to
the barn during the winter on lib
eral supply of grain 1t is far better
to trough" them through the cold
months. They should be given the
run of the yard or lot during the day.
This should be provided with pro-
tected shed, one that is thoroughly
dry and we'll provided with bedding.
While nature does her part and pro-
tects the horse with heavy coat Of
hair during the cold months, the shed
is necessary in order to afford the
necessary shelter and protection
against rains, snow and cold winds
Winter winds come mostly from tho
north and northwest, and the shed
should he so situated and CONSTRUCTED
as to give the proper protection fron
this quarter.
In the feeding of idle horses high
priced feed should be avoided in or
der to keep them in proper conditioI
at the lowest cost. 1t has been fourt
that idle horses do very well on
winter feed consisting of all the hay

the bulletin declares, is responsible
for a large part of the loss. This loss,
it is suggested, could be greatly de-
creased if farmers would cooperate
more generally and market their eggs
through community egg circles.
These organizations take care of the
frequent collection and the proper
packing and marketing of the eggs
of members, attend to accounting and
making collections, establish stand
ards, encourage the raising of better
breeds of poultry, the use of i'm
proved methods, and the production
of infertile eggs.
The bulletin tells farmers how to
go about the formation of commun-
ity egg circle and prints a suggested
constitution and bylaws for such an
organization. Copies of the bulletin
may be had free, as long as the sup
ply lasts, by application to thesUnited
States Department of Agriculture.

Fruit trees in place of shade trees

besides furnishing fruit later in the
season." Formerly" he adds,
there were plenty of apples on the
market; now only a few are to be
had. These are so high in price that
only the rich man can afford them.
Similar conditions exist in regard to
other fruit" The suggestion is wor-
thy of consideration and has been
carried out in Germany, we believe,
although if we hark back to boyhoOd
days the memory of the zest with
which we enjoyed pilfered fruit may
suggest practical difficulties in the
way of the plan for America.
