The Ways and Means committee.
according to the plan Of Governor
Gunter, is to have general supervision
Of the war activities in food produc-
tion over the county, its object being
in the first place to secure 4 complete
survey Of the needs Of the farmers Of
the county, and in the second place,
of the possibilities for further pro-
duction in various avenues. It's duty
in the first instance is to endeavor to
enable the various sections Of Gunni-
SON county to cooperate in every way
possible.
One Of the first duties will be to ap-
point b-committees in each Of the
school districts to assist the county
and state committees. Out side of the
matter of food production a very inn
portant matter will be to assist in fur
nishing help during the harvest. In a
letter from H. N. Cornell to Mr.. Bar
rett he says:
1--WE think it Of Importance that a
meeting of the Ways and Means Com
mittee Of your county be held at as
early date Is possible to consider
the question Of farm labor for the
forthcoming harvest.
"All Of the evidence that we are
able to gather together tends to show
that the cost Of labor, II we rely upon
the imported product, Is going to be
such ~ to make it prohibitive. In
deed. it Il highly improbable that
there will be any labor available to
be imported into the state during the
harvest this year.

UNITY PLAN ESSENTIAL.

The President has said the right
word at the right time. Unity of plan
and control is essential if the Allies
are to achieve a just and permanent
peace. Even those who have critl-
cised the British Prime Minister for
the suggestion of a Supreme War
Council have not ventured to deny
that. The Presidents Endorsement of
it viii go far to strife their criticism.
True, there are difficulties in the way.
The danger OF civilian interference in
military matters is obvious. Further
more, only a great military genius OF
the Napoleonic order would be fitted
for universal command in such a vast
theater of conflict. But these are not
~insuperable objections. On the con
trary, they count for little in the face
Of the fact hat most OF the disasters
can not only that the full weight
which have overtaken the Allies were
the result OF divided counsels. Too
much is at stake to permit a repti
ion of this folly. The President
Of the United States shall be thrown
into the struggle but that it shall
count for all it is worth.-Philadel
phia Public Ledger.

REV. SUM MERS breaches
STRONG SERMON LAST NIGHT

The Rev. Isaac Summers preached
another strong sermon last night at
the Second u. B. church "On the
Prodigal Son" and at the close of the
sermon three more souls came to
Christ. There has been thirty-seven
decisions for Christ already and many
others are deeply convicted of sin,
and ought to get right with God.
Brother Summers is preaching the
old gospel, and it's the power of God
unto salvation. to all them who hear
and obey it.
Mn. Reynolds Is leading the sing
ing as only he can, and the people
are enjoying the music from night
to night.
Don't miss this meeting. Come and
bring your friends with you, and en-
joy n of the old time revivals. Bring
your tabernacle hymn book with you.
Everybody welcome. The church
where everybody says its just like
home. j. H. Ford, pastor.

THE FAILURE foF RUTHLESS
NESS"

fH
There have been only two things,
Lloyd George says, that he really
feared. One was defeat through lack
of unity and the other was defeat by
the submarine.
~Of the submarine | have no long
er any fear,'' he says, AMI this is
a thrilling message. When he couples
with the fat-footed declaration the
fact that five submarines were sank
on Saturday alone he hints strongly
that the failure of ruthlessness IN
the last two weeks has not been due
to German encouragement, but to
the increase Of Allied efficiency in
coping with it, and in that result we
can all take unmixed pride. The
other menace remains. The efficiency
which has routed the submarine must
be brought into play against it, too.
In his earnest and sensible ~endeavors
toward hat end Mr.. George has the
unstinted support of the United
States, whose only fear is that he
does not go far enough.-New York
Times.

Another large congregation was

DR.. Gruver preached an impressive
sermon on the "Whosoever Wills of

that the invitation of Christ through

certain classes and conditions of man

FALSE WAR

We heard a story the other day
about a New York woman who de-
manded of the officials Of a Pullman
dining car that they serve her white
bread on q wheatless day. When in
formed that the price would be 40
cent the woman withdrew her de-
mand and unconsciously did precisely
what the Government and the Food
Administrator desired hat she should
do. The incident, however, suggests
the thought that there is much false
economy being practieed by some
women who imagine they are thereby
helping to win the war.
1t is of no material assistance in
the prosecution Of the war for per-
sons who IAN afford the luxury to
take a street car instead of a taxicab
br to refrain from, attending the the
ateT or to eliminate certain desserts.
But it. is of material assistance for
these same persons, no matter how
we'll they MAY be able to afford it,
to deny themselves meat on meatless
days, wheat bread on wheatless days
and TO be provident in the use of coal.
Electric light and anything else that
can be usel or, sent to our boys over
there or to our Allies.-Baltimore

WAR ADJUSTMENT.

When the vice president OF one OF
the strongest banking institutions OF
the country says that it is noe within
the power of bankers to stay the
downward trend of security prices, he
utters the simple truth. They. the
bankers, cannot stay the operation Of
the economic laws nor after effects
proceeding from causes over which
they have no control. The falling
prices of securities are simply a phase
of the general readjustment OF val
ues to the present and the future. We
are at war and must get ourselves in
shape for war. Prices will find their
level. Values as a whole are no less
tday than they were a year ago.
Gather they are greater, Prices and
tAlues are two very distinct things.
Sometimes prices firror values. Often
eiey do not.-New York Sun. +

Mr.. Kitchin's Plea.

There never was a time in the history
of our republic as now, when the ten
thousand wires that stretch the earth
are flashing the anxiety OF the Ameri-
can people over the grave-and l might
say tragic-situation that coufronts this
republic today. 1t is no time, my coun-
trymeni for elimination and recrimi-
nation. 1t is incumbent on every Ameri-
can citizens who loves his country, be
he republican or democrat. to forget
that there ever was a difference be-
tween the sections of this country.
1t is the duty of every patriotic
representative in this chamber. be he
democrat or republican, 10 frown
down upon any statement that will
tend in the slightest degree to re.kin-
die sectional animosity. It is incum-
bent upon every American citizen who
loves his country. and is d6ubly in
cumbent upon the American repre-
sentatives in this House, to do every
thing that win promote in this hour
national unity, national love, national
fraternity.

BLOCKADE OF THE ALLIES
IN BOUNDS OF HUMANITY
Sharp Distinction Drawn Between It
and That of Teutons Has
Caused Loss of Life.

The sharpest distinction is made here
between the allied and German blockades.
The former. while protested by the
United States on technical and property
grounds. has not caused the loss of
single life and is held to be entirely
within the bounds of humanity. The
threatened German blockade. however
by Withdrawing all Germany's pledges
to respect the international laws of visit
and search and not sinking without
warning, makes forfeit the lie of every
man. woman and child on board vessels
seeking to enter the forbidden area.
All sea traffic Will be opposed" withoue
any regard to the lives involved in a
sea campaign and as the world has never
drea med Of.
The widest margin of doubt exists
here as to how Tar Germany can 90 to-
ward carrying her threat into effect
Some officials believe she never would
have run the risk of world censure
which German officials themselves ad-
nit will result unless they had fore
seen very tangible results Others.
however. point to a similarly belIicose
pronouncement two years ago which
produced several very spectacular sink
ings. but wrought practically no re-
suits on the ultimate war situation.

NEW AUSTRIAN ENVOY
IS SURPRISED AT NOTE
Says He Knew Nothing Of Any Such
Action Until Told by
Reporters.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February Count
Adam Tarnowski Won Tarnow, Austria :
Hungary's new ambassador to the
United States, who arrived today on
the steamer Noordam, learned first
from newspaper men of the German
note outlining new naval policy.
1.-The note is surprise to me- he
said. II knew nothing about II until
you newspaper men showed me the
newspapers containing it.
did you know such a note was con-
templated?"
Il did not
The new ambassador hastily read
the note and then, asserting 1T was too
serious for discussion at this time,
protested against further questioning.
He said he would go Immediately to
Washington to take up his duties.
Count Tarnowski explained that the
wireless brought no news regarding the
note on the voyage from Falmouth: At
that point, where the Noordam put In,
the diplomats twenty-eight trunks were
searched by British government Off
, Gals.
The count said this surprised him,
but that he had no complaint to make.
THE treatment accorded me was very
courteous" he declared.
Discussing the recent Teutonic peace
movement, the ambassador said:
Il feel that the proposals made by
the central powers to England and her
allies were actuated solely by desire
to serve the best interests of human
ity. For, whether the allies consider
US victorious or not. we have surely
proven that we can continue the war
for many years to come"
Count Tarnowski said that before
leaving Vienna he talked with Count
Dumba. whom he succeeds as Austrian
ambassador here. Count Dumba told
him, he said, that he had heard re-
ports of his death in the United States.
Tell my friends in America" the
new ambassador quoted Count Dunn ba
as saying, that, like Mark Twain, the
reports of my death have been grossly
exaggerated"
