FA r M E R S!

If we are to win the war against
Germany We must do IT mainly
by providing food for the armies.
The great question NOW is: are
we blowing enough acres and are
we, putting in the best crops?
Land that has grown up in bush
es should be cleared and plowed
and all land or bits Of land put in
some crop, and we must hold to
the same staple crop and give it
the best attention. The first
thing we must consider is: are
we raising enough for our own
consumption?
We can not afford TO buy su.
gar, flour and the "Outside things"
and had you thought that we may
not be able TO get these? We
can use honey and sorghum for
sweets and in the place of wheat
flour we can use corn meal, Oat
meal and buck " heat. Beans and
peas will take the place of the
high. priced meats and at the
same time we can enrich our soil
by growing these crops. Now is
the time to smash all the c!Ods
and give more plant food to the
crops and to get after the weeds
by keeping the soil stirred and
in good condition. AS soon as
the ground is dry enough after
rain cultivation should begin with
field crops as we'll AS the garden.
Don't let the insects get start
on your crop but begin fighting
themTby spraying.

plants in the afternoon.
If these remedies can not be
gotten at the drug stores have
them to order them at once. If
not available at all a great many
potato bugs can be killed by use
of pan and stick. Ii is important
that YOU watch these and begin
the fight in time.
Just now it looks like big
shortage in cans for fruit and
where ever there are cans for
sale il will be wise to buy them
for the price is going up and we
may be unable to buy them later.
There is enough fruit and veg
etables that lay on the ground
aud go to waste in Powell county
TO feed Kentucky's armies, and
why let this continue? A good
plan is TO save beans, peas and
field crops by drying and large
amount of fruit and vegetables
should be dried. You can use il
in your homes and the market
will demand it for the other ma,
tions will be looking TO us, so let
us make every effort 10 be ready,

Autoists hnrrying downtown and getting themselves
all set for the shock they travefsed the trenches
from Levers road to John Ena road were surprised

three cheers and couple of tigers he did So out
of sheer exuberance of feeling. The streets in the
Beach Walk district are also being opened up, ac
cording TO latest news from the city hall Residents
of the Waikiki and Beach Walk sections are now

been omitted most of the time for the past two
months, the garbage superintendent saving that
owing to the closing of streets it impossible to

ANOTHER BOOMERANG FOR GERMANY.

Drowning men clutch AT straws Nations down

possible wpapon 10 stave of imminent and terrible
defeat.
Gernany's action in trying to arrange a German
Mexican.Japanese alliance is that Wild blind strug-

the typical Mexican hate of the 'gringo" and he may

Japan is differently Situated japan is tied up mo-
rally and physically with the fortunes of the Entente
Allies II would be the international crime of all
history were Japan to join Germany and Mexico in
attacking the United States.
There is no evidence that Japan has made either
the moral error Of listening to Germanys infamous
proposals or the military bunder Of believing that
in the long rnn such an alliance could be successful
There is evidence that Japan wishes to enter such
alliance or has any illusions as to its ultimate effect
@All is fair in love and war" Germany is not
alone in enforcing the doctrine of right made by
might in this conflict The doctrine is practised on
both sides. And Germany is naturally expected to
scheme and intrigue and plot against her enemies.
The infamy of the latest Germany plotting is that,
II the dispatches be correct, Berlin CARRYING on
the intrigue before her declaration of unrestricted
naval warfare and therefore Vt time when Berlin
was processing friendship with the United States
and was actually seeking to use the United States
as an intermediary for peace.
This is the sort of diplomacy which, translated
into action, tears up treaties nvades neutral conn
tries and murders non-combatants at sea.
