The growth of wheat in this coun-
ty is, OF course, confined to spring
wheat. There have been scattering
lots of winter wheat grown but they
are Insignificant and were not, AZ a
rule, successful.
The seasons are TOO short up here
to allow OF proper preparation Of tho
ground early enough to get the winter
wheat in shape for winter SO, at
tention is to be turned almost entirely
to spring wheat.
Mr. Hoopingarner hopes to at least
double the acreage for next year and
may succeed In getting more than
that amount OF acreage as the yenture
proved to be a success this season
and the farmers feel much encouraged
Wheat Day nj Fair
In order to bring the wheat drive"
home with the best results Mr.. Hoop
ingarner has arranged for a Wheat
Day at the county fair. Circulars
were issued during the week telling
OF this day and containing blanks for
the listing up OF all wheat in the
county This Is for the purpose OF
getting a line on the amount available
for seed purposes
The farmers will meet at the fair
on Wheat Day" and arrangements
will be made for the exchange or
purchase OF seed. the listing Of acre
age and a general arrangement for
I next years wheat crop
All farmers are requested TO be on
hand during that day and help the
project along.

Having finished up his work on the
farm loan and land clearing for the
present, Mr. Hoopingarner is now di-
recting his attention to the part Iron
county is to take in the big wheat
drive" which is to be made through
out the United States next year.
1t is the aim OF the Federal govern
ment TO plant a crop that will yield
one billion bushels in 1918 and as
large part OF the wheat crop is rep
resented by winter wheat the work OF
getting the seed into the ground has
commenced already In many sections
and will be in full swing all over the
southwest in week or two.

CO. Any Belgians within the next ten

CD Agreeably to these principles, along
the old frontier of Belgium and Germany,
a broad strip of land to be settled by men
of pure German stock. We can never

1t is such declarations as these, as we'll as

chary Of acceptance of any peace terms

THE CHURCH MILITANT

The Rev Charles Stelzle writing in the
Miami Metropolis, has diatribe in regard
to the rivalry of the y. NJ. c. A. and the
church, and among other things, says this ::
The Y. NJ. c. A has heretofore been
willing to acknowledge itself to be an arm
of the church. What the leaders of the
church protest against is that some people
now think that the Y. NJ c. A. is the whole
body, Of which the church is merely an
arm.
Actually, even now while the Y M. c..
A. is so consplcuously at the forefront in
war-work, it receives its chief support
from the church, without the church it
could never have existed at any time The
fact that the Y NJ. c. A. had a group OF
leaders trained to work among the men re-
suited IN it's being called to take charge of
the social and religious life of the soldiers
and sailors during the war. But when the
war closes and the soldiers and sailors re-
turn to their homes, they may easily have
acquired contempt for the church, be-
cause they may have gotten the idea that
the church. such, cared nothing for
them while they were at the front-that
all the work was done by the Y. Nj. c. A
There is more along the same lines, and
1t is all equally nauseating.
What does the Rev. MIR. Stelzle mean bv
the churCn, as suCh! ne I. NJ. \. "A.
is the church. And the Red Cross is the
church And the soldiers and sailors are
the church. Just as they are the govern
ment
The church has long gone out into the
world. 1t is active. Or if it is not, if the
Red Cross and the Y. Nj. G. A and all of
the work that is being done by Christian
men and women, for the alienation of the
suffering of humanity is not the church
then the. church deserves to die natural
death.
The church is not made of brick and
stone, it is not the preacher, the choir and
the form and the ceremony. 1t is the
spirit The church militant is actively en-
gagged today in fighting evil If the Rev
Stelzle does not know that, then he should
read up bit.

THE CURFEW LAW

The ctrfew law Just put into effect IN
Pensacola seems to have the general ap-
prevail of the public, and is bound to &C
compIish good results. Anyone whose
business has necessitated their being on
the streets of the city at a late hour must
have been constantly remined OF the need
OF some sort of legislation which would
serve to keep boys and girls off the public
thoroughfares at 4 late hour.
The meaning of curfew, which dates
from the time of William the Conqueror,
is cover the fire., the custom IN those
ancient days having been to cover the hre
with ashes at nine O'Clock in preparation
for the retirement OF the entire family.
People rose early and went to bed early,
in those days and the custom was not
bad one, and might be practiced, in -modi-
fed form even now, with good results.
But since the elders won't go to bed
early, the younger generation must keep
the balance true
1T is fashion, y says the Ohio Educa-
tional Monthly, as interpreted by so-called
society, that is the greatest h1ndrance to
good work in the schools
Just what the Educational monthly
means by society here, 1T IS difficult to dis
Germ. Society, in its real sense, means the
home, the school, the. municipality. These
three, working together can protect the
child, and it may be rightly protected only
through this triology working harmoni-
ously together.
1t is good for the boys and girls to have
the fun of the holidays, when there are no
lessons to study. 1t is good for youth to
laugh with youth, and the holiday season
has its uses, just as has the period IF study.
But when the holidays are ended and
the boys and girls have settled to their
duties, early hours should be kept both at
home and abroad. The curfew law has
other uses than to keep struggling and un
disciplined children off the street in setting
a standard that might we'll be emulated in
the home, when growing boys and girls
should be sent early to bed, to get that
Operative rest that their growing bodies
need and without which they cannot
physically or mentally fit.

GERMAN DECLARATIONS

eve dare not then, let Belgium GO
Such is the declaration we find in the

German attitude to the Entente
"The debated question as to how to dis
pose of the objections against annexing
territory occupied by foreign and hostile
population leads us to certain general con-
siderations to securing valuable land
which is necessary for us. | mean land
useful chiefly for agricultural and coloni-
zation. One suggestion is that such land
shall be evacuated" by its present inhabit-
ants. In this connection I should to repeat
certain proposals put forward by leaders of
our colonial policy and our commercial
life. The following items were suggested
TO the present writer by one of these per-
sonages, with especial reference to Bel
gium, continues the pamphleteer:
