 You don't know who 1 am? I am the German Kaiser,
 De Emperor William. You know I whipped dem Belgians
 Und init bullets flied Russia full, Ind I'll whip France and Ita y
 Und blow up Johnnie Bull. Now for all dem other nations
 I do not care dam, If you just be mine partner
 Uud whips that Uncle Sam. You know I got dem submarines,
 All Europe knows it well, But dat Edison got patent now
 Vot blows .em all to hell. Now, Gott, if you do this,
 Then you I'll always love, Und I will be Emperor of the earth
 And you be Emperor above. But Gott, if you refuse me dis, Tomorrow night at sleven I'll call mine Zepplines out Und declare war on Heaven I wouldn't ask dis from you
 But it can be plainly seen Dot when Edison pushes dot button,
 I got no submarine.

Spring Road Work

| tfdllc, the most important thIng say specialists in in the United States Department of Agricul- ture, Is to get the water away from the road and keep it away. To get the best results, this should be done all through the fall and winter. But, in any event, 1t will pay the county in the early spring to have the road man go over the road daily to see that drains and side ditches do not become clogged. It is at this time also that the road drag can be employed to the best advan- tage. By clearing a roadway of slush and melting snow, it will prevent the water from soaking into and softening the subgrade.
 This work is especially impor- tant if the road has been neg lected through the winter. Soil saturated with water expands greatly when it freezes. When it thaWs out again it has not only lost practically all it's power of sustaining the weight of traffic, but 1t also is in a condition that enables it to absorb water readi- ly and form mud.
 Mudh0les, in fact, are the cause of most of the trouble on clay or gumbo roads. To get rid of then, the first step is to dig a trench to the side and allow the water and mud to drain off. If necessary, the side ditches should be opened also. After this all of the soft mud left in the hole should be removed and the bottom of the trench filled with
 
 broken stone or coarse gravel in order to provide a drain that will prevent the further accumula ton of water. Gravel, if availa- ble, Is the best material for fill ing the old mudhole. If none can be obtained, the best earth on hand should be tamped down in or 4 inch layers. To attempt to till a mudhole by throwing in large stones Is fatal It simply results in two mudholes instead of one. It is useless, too, to at tempt to fill hole without first draining out the water and re moving the soft mud. The use of sods or similar material which absorb water readily is waste of labor.
 On earth or gravel roads ruts are best treated with the drag. The rainier the weather the more often the road should be dragged. A liberal use of the drag with thin coat of sand or gravel spread over the surface when softened by rain will ire quently put poor earth road in such a condition thatit can carry heavy traffic for a short time.
 On the other hand, sand roads give less trouble in wet weather because the moisture tends to hold the separate grains of sand in place.
 In addition to the pressing needs for proper maintenance in order to keep earth roads passa- ble unber the unfavorable condi- tions frequently encountered ..at this time. road work is desirable in the early spring in order that the road may become thoroughly consolidated before the dry sum- mer weather comes.
 As has been pointed out, the addition of sand or gumbo to sand roads and the addition of sand to clay or gumbo roads i'm proves the highway very mater ially. If this work is done dur ing moist weather the materials com pine much more quickly Again, if grading is put off until later in the season, the road will become very dusty in dry weath- CT and will need additional at tention later in the fall.

amount Ot agitation about ralS- ing more food stuff to meet the war situation. You will remem Der that 1 have always told you that the farm is the dependence of the Goyernme hoth in peace and in war The present condi- dition and agitation Verifies the statement. The nation must be fed and clothed by the farmer; and If we win this war, we must go even further and help to feed and clothe thez allies who are fighting the battles at the front In the present agitation the cry is to produce more food stuff. Some have ill-ad yisedly under taken to tell the farmers what to raise and how to raise it. This was mistake. The farmers know the best crops for their land and how to rsise them. 1t is not so much a matter of better farming and diversification as of food supply. What 1 want to say is that we must take this thing seriously. The condition con fronting us is serious but not frightful. We must produce our own living, and we must produce the feed for our live stock, and we must keep OFT live stock, at home for our own use. To pro- duce our own living, we must grow what we can keep through the winter months when no focd stuff can be grown. It is well to provide ample gardens and truck l patches to feed ourselves through the summer, but not to produce perishable products in great abundance to rot and waste. Small home canning out fits should be bought to take care of the surplus garden vege- tables and fruits that can be can ned and preserved.
 It is well to look after your supply of sugar in advance. for there may be a shortage and you may not be able to get enough to can and preserve your fruits and berries. The tomato is an easy vegetable to produce and can do not let any go to waste. Sweet potatoes can be kept by housing, banking or canning. Turnips can be banked and kept for winter use. Turnip greens are easy to preserve by canning, and make good diet through the winter. Pumpkins can be canned and kept for winter use. Kale makes good greens late in the fall and early in the spring. Collards make good vegetable diet for winter use. Winter onions. or multiplying onions are valuable Fall beans are fine and grow well and besides bring a good price on the market.
 Every farmer should plant a few acres of dwarf Essex rape early thls fall. Rape makes a good pasture for hogs unti in the fall and comes out early in the spring. Rape also makes good greens for table use.
 Plant corn field beans or peas in all of your corn ard along all fence rows, turn rows and ditch es The best pea to plant is the white, blackeyed California pea. It natures early and makes a fine dish all through the winter. They are sold in most all grocery stores and are now retailing at the rate of seven to eight dollars bushel Pick and shell your peas and you will find ready sale for this variety.
 Give good attention to your corn crop. Cultivate it we'll, and buy fertilizer for it if necessary. It will pay this year. Corn is surer and better money crop than cotton at the present. Ar kansas will furnish market for all the corn you will raise, and | tho nrioQ uill mt bo un6or dol

OFFICER SAYS LITTLE
 MEN BEST FOR ARMY

DETROIT, Mich, May 23.--Major Phelps, of the Army recruiting station who saw twenty-one years active ser vice in the cavalry, in a recent inter- view said, My conception of the ideal soldier is a man of feet and 6 or inches, weighing about 150 pounds. This is the type of man who can stand the fatigue and grilling punishment of long hard duty. l prefer the recruit with inches chest expansion to one with a tremendous lung capacity as he has more proved stamnia.
 II have seen such a man ride twen- ty-four hours and not give out. He can go to sleep in the saddle" con- tinued the major, lighting fresh stogie. i've done it myself many a time. I walked to find trooper rid ing at my side holding my arm.
 What are you doing here?" ask ed him.
 II was afraid the captain might fall and hurt himself" he replied, but l heard the rascal telling another man afterward, '1 didn't care if the old man fell off, but he was the only one who knew the way back home. and wed have been in h--of a fix if he'd got hurt"

'THE CLCE" AT THE
 EMPRESS THURSDAY

The Empress circuit tomorrow ev- ening will show Blanche Sweet in a picturization of the thrilling master Iiece "The Clue
 "The Clue as might be inferred from the title, is detective drama, the central event of which is the mur- der of Russian who has in his pos session secret plans of the Japanese coast defenses. At the time of the murder the Russian and his elder brother are both seeking to marry rich American girls, having become intimately involvel in the domestic lives Of the families. Guy Bertram, who is in love with Christine (the character played by Miss Sweet, and who has one of the Russians as his own rival, is incensed that the other Russian should be paying attention to his sister, Eve Bertram. Therefore he would apparently have motive for the staying.
 The ultimate solution of the i'm trigue is as unexpected as it is happy. The mystery which has become ap- parently impossible of explanation. suddenly clears up in twinkling and the expert detective sees that justice is done. .t
