FARMERS WILL WIN Or LOSE The WAR
Outcome of Gigantic Struggle Largely Dependent Upon
American Tille1s of the Soi-Enough Food Must Be
Grown in United States to Supply Ourselves and Our
Allies-lnternational Crisis Imposes Unprecedented
Responsibility on 'the Man with the Hoe"

| power this summer, before the short
age of food can reach the point OF
want, the world would still need vast
quantities of American food. But if
they do not, only one course can make
us safe, and that is to grow food
enough on our farms for ourselves
and our allies, and to put ships enough
on the sea to carry the food, in spite
of the submarines, to the men who
are fighting our fight.
| If the war lasts beyond this sum-
mer, it will be the American farmer
who will win or lose the war, who
will overcome militarism and auto
cracy, or allow them to spread and
control the world, ourselves included.
This is no fanciful picture, but So
Der fact. Many man will make
light of it until he comes to think it
over, but venture to say few will
treat it lightly after careful thought.
It is no more impossible than the
great war itself appeared to be, only
a few days before it began.
It is true we can greatly increase
the available food supply out of grain
now used in making liquors, and by
reducing household waste. But when
! these two things are done, and done
thoroughly, they will not be enough.
The final decision will still rest in the
hands Of the men who raise our food
in the first place.
The clear duty Of the nation is to
guarantee the farmers fair price for
their crops when grown, and 6ea-
sonable supply of labor at harvest.
The clear duty of the farmer is to
raise food enough to win this war for
democracy against kaiserism.
No such responsibility has ever
rested on any class of men since the
world began as rests today on the
farmers of America.
Sincerely yours,
CLIFFORD PINCHOT.

Proper Food for Weak stonachs.

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt diet suited to his age
and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. It
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move the
bowels. They are easy to take anc
pleasant in effect.-(Adv.)

By a unanimous vote of the as

MISUNDERSTANDING.
DonaldsonviIle Boy Wins Lovely Bride

An event of much interest in the
social circles of Ellisville was the
pretty ring ceremony which united
William Henry Hackenjos and Miss

%. at 6 O'clock.
The ceremony took place at the

cessories to match, and made very
bewitching bride. The groom wore
the conventional garb of mere man. "
Miss Downing is the lovely daugh-
ter of Dr. and Mrs. Downing, of Ellis
vile, and has for some time been con-
nected with the Cumberland tele-
phone exchange of that city, and num-
bers her friends by the score. kte
groom is a native of DonaldsonvifIe,
La, and has been in charge of the
exchange at Ellisville, as manager,
since last November, and while his
stay there has been comparatively
short, he has made many friends in
the business and social circles of that
city.
After the nuptial knot had been
tied, the bridal party repaired to the
Ellisville hotel, where sumptuous
repast was served and toasts offered
to the health and happiness of the
young couple.
