We doubt if there is one farmer
IN ten in the county of Ohio who
fully realizes just how critical con-
ditions are in the world today rela-
tive to the food situation. To be
sure they read in the various news
papers they get that Uncle Sam,
with the assistance Of Mr.. Hoover,
is endeavoring to have the farmers
of the United States raise bumper
food crops, and that the world is
wholly dependent upon us for food.
but we fear they do not fully grasp
the situation. Most farmers grow
everything they eat except, perhaps,
sugar, coffee, and in some localities
the wheat to make their flour. and
1t is practically impossible for them
10 realize anybody really suffering
for food, here i'm our own beloved
country or any other. We had the
pleasure of eating the noon meal at
the home of one cur farmer friends
a few days ago, and we venture the
assertion that the food on that table,
purchased at present prices, would
cost, if bought as We town folks have
to buy il, not less than SO. And
there were only eight people to par
take of this meal. The government
is spending thousands of dollars i'm
an erGeavor to educate our farmers
of the necessity of raising more food
crops and conserving what they
raise, and We trust our farmer
friends and their good wives will
awake to the fact that the world is
locking to them for something to
eat. and that they will conserve in
every way possible every eatable
that comes from the farm. Then,
too, the prices that they will get for
food stuff should be an incentive to
take a hand in this great work. If
rot so prompted. from patriotic
standpoint. We believe Ohio county
will do her part. Are we right?

TAKING STOCK

That's what Uncle Sam is doing.
On yesterday, through officials,
agents and patriotic citizenship,
the government laid the ground
work for the great inventory of man
power from which, when completed,
the fighting forces of the country
may be supplemented from time to
time as preparations are made for
utilization of the men. This plan of
registration furnishes the information
as to number, characteristics and
availability of citizens between the
ages specified upon whom a call may
be made for active duty in the army.
The purpose Is to intelligcntly class
ify and draw from the availables
those who are best fitted for particu-
lar duties, and who can best be
spared from their professions,
trades, occupations and families; be-
cause fighting is but one of the prin-
cipal essentials to success in this
worldwide struggle between auto
cracy and democracy. Food and
other necessaries must be produced,
mills and factories must be kept GO
ing, transportation is absolutely nee
essary, and the whole scheme must
be financed.
Whether We favored the selective
draft or some other plan for building
such an army as We need, it is now
useless and senseless to make COM
parsons, or undertake TO show what
might have happened if a different
course had been pursued. Through
the duly constituted authority, the
people have adopted conscription.
and il is the duty of citizens of all
classes to lend all the cid possible
in making il success. Those who
are especially charged with seeing
that the provisions of law regarding
registration are faithfully complied
with have enough to do without be-
ing compelled to lock after dodgers
or slackers. We have heard of no
efforts in this county to defeat the
purpose of the Presidents proclama-
ton, and we trust that all our men
within the ages specified presented
themselves to the proper parties and |
r'"-- GUi" registered. The response

be as prompt and cheerful as il has /.
been to the registration require /.

Soy beans are rapidly advancing

A saxon.French Cigar Liahter.

Several years ago the then new min tster of France, NJ. Kiotz decided to Impose tax of two francs or 40 cents American money, on each cigar lighter used in that country. The req son for this is that the sale of matches In France is in the hands of the gov ernment monopoly and the portable lighters interfered with the sale of the matches. On the other hand the matches have become so bad in quality that they are subject of complaint and ridicule. The law has become unpopu- lar and there is an effort now being made to have the order reSeinded. Not withstanding the fact that an in- creased tax was placed on tobacco by the French government several years ago, It has caused a tendency to in- crease smoking and that is proven by the many smokers to be seen in public places and thoroughfares.

GROW CHINESE PE0NIES

 The idea underlying the growing of these flowers is to get the blooms early and ship them to cities North where the demand for flowers in May, ending Decoration day. May 30, k so great as to exhaust the entire output. IL is the one season of the year when flowers are scarce.
 The peony IS the only flower of prominence that blooms early enough in the season and the one flower that defies hothouse culture. Ii k an out ! door plant and will not succeed when put under glass. and therefore cannot easily be forced ny artificial means.
