! killed without an opportunity to strike back.
 If we have to die, we want to die f1ghting,' one bluejacket said. Most of us have seen fighting and we want another go at the Huns"
 A remarkable feature of the raid was that a comparative few people in the bombed area were aware that there had been an attack until they arose the following morning. One bomb struck a small cottage, one of a row. The tenant and his daugh- ter, who went into the garden to see what was happening, escaped injury, but his wife remained in the house and was killed.

 paper, which assumes and frequently
 warns of Germany's intention to in wade Englad with aircraft in very

 "The enemy seems to be getting on

 The German craft came, bombed and : departed. Our guns fired, and our ] aircraft went up, but without result 1 according to the latest official reports. This is the ninth serious raid this summer and of 127 machines which have crossed our coast Germany a,

LONDON RAIDED; DEAD TOTAL Il
(Continued From First Page.)

jority of the men were asleep at the time of the attack.
 The first indication of the presence of air raiders was the sound of en- zines overhead. The presence of high powered machine overhead did not cause much alarm because notices had been published earlier in the evening that anti-aircraft practice would be carried out that night and when the guns began firing it was assumed that the prctice was in full swing. Then came the unexpected. Loud explo- sions were heard in one part of the district and then in another. The ex- plosions then ceased, but after a few minutes were heard again and Judging by the sounds it seemed that the air raiders circled the town. In all about IT bombs were dropped and the raiders are thought to have been over the district nearly an hour. Search lights sought out the raiders, but they failed to locate them on ac- count of the haze.
 Account of Survivor.
 Immediately following the explo- sions in the barracks rescue parties were organized and the wounded
  which came very near being a target for a bomb. Discipline prevailed com pletely over any natural tendency at alarm in the barracks. All survivors were instantly at their quarters and the greatest coolncss was shown. A naval man, who was in the barracks at the time, gave the following ac- count of the raid:
 Most of us were asleep in our ham, l mccks in the dormitory, which was in the large drill hall. We had no
 warning of any kind. Two clocks, ! which were blown into the adjoining parade ground, stopped at 11:12 o'clock. showing the hour of the ex- plosions. I have been in some scraps but I didn't dream that anything so ] sudden could happen.
 Before we knew what was hap pening the roof was lifted off the shop, blown into the air and fell in a thousand pieces among the men. It was flying glass, which was thick and | heavy. that did the damage. We were l dashed out of our hammocks to the i floor and all mixed up in broken glass. l The men on each side of me were both killed.'
 Blown Across Parade Grounds. Another man sleeping in a different section of the dormitory said that he did not wait to put on his shoes and did not know that he was walking on broken glass until long afterward, | whe he found that his feet were 1 bleeding. Still another man with a
 piece of glass in his head did not
 know 1t, the shock of the explosion
 being so great, and man who was
 blown across the parade ground and l alighted on his feet declared that he did not feel ny the worse for his eX-
 perience. 1 Some of the injured died during ] tho night and the survivors complain l hitterlv about their companions being

OWNERS OF HEDGE
ROWS BEWARE!

A fine of not less than $50 nor more
than $500 may be imposed upon the
owner of hedge fence along or near
the right of way of a public road if
he fails to cut same down to height
of not more than five feet between the
first days of May and August of each
year. This is a provision of one of
the new road laws enacted by the last
Legislature, and may have been ov-
erlooked by local authorities. Less
than ten days remain in which to have
this work done, and the law further
provides that any prosecuting attor-

the height required by law shall be
removed from office by the Governor,

DUTY AND INTEREST

Every holder of Liberty Loan
Bond and every prospective purchaser
in the next issue of the Liberty Loan
Bonds should bear in mind that the
purchase of Liberty Loan Bond helps
the Government of the United States,
helps the citizens of the United States
and helps the purchaser as citizen
as we'll as being at the same time a
splendid private investment.
Moreover every purchaser of Lib
erty Loan Bond serves humanity it
self.
One cannot serve his country or
serve Lis fellow citizens without sevv-
ing himself, his family and posterity.
The purpose of the Liberty Loan Bond
is to make the world safe for Democ-
racy, and every purchaser of bond
does something to that great end by
which not only the present but future
generations are benefited.

JUST A DOLLAR BILL

A farmer out in Kansas,
About five years ago,
Went into town one day to spend
Some of his hard earned dough,
"And in merry jest" and just
To show his printing skill,
He printed his initials on
A brand new dollar bill.
He spent that dollar that same day
Down at the village store;
He thought twas gone forever then
And he'd see it no more,
But long before that year rolled by
One day he went to fill
A neighbours order. and received
That same one dollar bill.
Once more he spent that dollar bill
In his own neighborhood,
Where it would do himself and friends
The most amount of good.
Four times in two years it came back,
AS some bad pennies will,
And each time he'd go out and spend
This marked one dollar bill.
Had he been wise that dollar might
Be in his town today,
But just about two years ago
He sent it far away.
The people who received it then
l know have got it still,
For twas to mail order house
He sent his dollar bill.
No more will that marked dollar come
Into the farmers hands,
And never more will it help pay
The taxes on his lands.
Hesput it where it never can
Its work in life fulfill;
He brought about the living death
Of that one dollar bill.

according to the Department of Ag-
riculture authorities, it is one Of the
most important of the worlds food
oils. and doubly important under pres
ent conditions. With European i'm
ports cut off and scarcity of cotton
seed oil there is every assurance of a
considerable demand at good prices.
American mills, however, are not get
ting the best prices for their product
because they do not she'll and clean
the nuts and remove the germs.
Where this is done, and the first press
ing is made without heating the ma
terial, the extracted oil is clear and
clean and equal in quality to the fin
est imported olive oil, though of a
different and more peanut like flavor.
To many persons it is more palatable
than olive oil.
The Spanish type of peanut should
be grown for oil, and the only addi-
tional equipment needed is that used
in peanut cleaning and Smelling fac
tories. Peanut meal, left as a by
product of oil extraction, is very nu-
tritious stock feed.
A Balanced Agriculture.
The departments advice is not to
substitute peanuts for cotton and thus
maintain the uneconomic system of
one-crop agriculture. On the contrary
the advice is to utilize the peanut in
certain sections by making it a part
of a well-balanced agriculture and es-
pecially by using it in areas Of seri-
Gus boll-weevil depreciation as part
insurance against cotton losses. The
farmer need not hesitate to plant a
somewhat larger acreage than his
present needs for hog and cattle feed.
If the price happens to be low, he can
buy more hogs and market the peanuts
in that way; if the price happens to
be high, he can sell the surplus to adj
vantage. To raise peanuts year in
and year out as the sole money crop
would be as unwise as to depend upon
cotton alone.

STAND BEHIND OUR
FIGHTING MEN

America today is filled with young
men of the country who wear their
country's uniform and who have Of
fered their lives to the service of their
country. Every city, every town, ev-
cry hamlet, every country community
has some of it's boys in the military
uniform of their country. They are
the very flower of our young man
hood.
These are the men who are to go to
the battle front. How effective they
will be there, how safe they will be
there depends on the support that their
country gives them. The slower the
United States is to exert its full
power and put an end to the carnage
in Europe the more of those Ameri-
cans who are soon to join them will
suffer death and the greater number
of American homes will be made des-
olate.
1t is not to be believed that some
national catastrophe, some calamity
that will be shameful to US if it
comes from lack of preparation or
from our failure to stand behind our
SOlulST5, uluSJ OCCuT 70 dWdkSIl OuT
people to their duty.
The soldiers of the United States
are stadning by their country with a
steady courage and devotion to duty
that should inspire the nation with
pride and patriotism and loyalty.
Some of them are now facing death
for their people, are participating in
the great battles in Europe to make
the world safer for Democracy, to in
sure our own safety and to vindicate
our honor. We who remain here in
peace and safety must surely do our
part.
The Liberty Loan of 1917 was au-
thorized for the purpose of, and it's
proceeds are being spent in arming,
equipping, supplying and caring for
the soldiers of the United States and
to assist our Allies who are fighting
by their side in France. In support
ing the Liberty Loan the people of
America are supporting our soldiers,
are standing behind the men behind
the guns. We should support our SOL
diers with all our means, all of our
resources, all of the combined might
and power of the great nation that we
are,

THEY MISS THE EDITOR

The editor of the Prison Mirror, pub
lished in the penitentiary of Minneso-
to, says:
Why is it that from the first incep-
ton of our paper up to the present
time we have never had an editor to
sojourn in our midst? Other profess
sions have been well represented. Of
preachers we have had enough to fur
nish subsistence to an African chief
for year; of doctors, sufficient in
number to depopulate state; of
lawyers, enough to establish a good
size colony in Hades. But of editors
NOT one.
