This paper occasional advocates
some addition to the ordinary ex-
pendlture of county monies, but we
do it with the idea in mind that the
wealth or assessed value OF the coun
ty is increasing along with the in
creased needs of government, and its
not our fault if the sagacity of the
board should prove unequal to such
demands. Let Us hope, however, that
it will not prove SO in the future,
and lets be careful not to stampede
them into any sudden policies of large
spendings without previous time for
agitation, investigation and prepa-
ration for funds to meet such ex-
banded needs.

SERVING AS OFFICERS.

In every community are few sniveling jealous per sons who are trying to bette patriotism shown by others These little fellows have hit upon the young men who have volunteered for training in the officers training camps as butts for their sickly
 Occasionally one hears such remark It doesnt take much patriotism to go to war as an officer
 But you'll always notice the fellow who makes the re- mark hasn't done any volunteering of any sort himself
 As matter of fact it takes considerable patriotism and not little bravery to go officer glance at the long death lists in London newspaper will prove that to anyone who doubts it. The percentage of officers killed is always much higher than the percentage of prvates
 But that aside from the fact that the man capable of being efficient officer just the greatest need of the government Good officers train the raw re- cruts and make of them first class soldiers Without good officers effective military force is mpossibity is therefore, the part of highest patriotism for the man ca pablo of becoming efficient officer to offer himself for that service To conne his talents the ranks while he is needed in command would be waste.
 These men who have forsaken their home duties and taking the arduous of training the chance that the government may find them fit to lead at the front rendering service of the highest quality.
 There is no distinction between officers and prvates far bravery patriotism zeal for the of the cause ana hard work concerned In everyone must where he best and where the assigns hm.-Springfeld News-Record.

A new world record for all breeds
for butterfat production in the seven
day division was established by the pure
bred Holstein- Friesian COW, Segis Fayne
Johanna 114658, in test ending Janu-
aryS, 1917. This remarkable COW pro-
duced So 68 pounds of butter in seven
consecutive days, and the official test
was conducted by supervisors from the
New York State Agricultural College,
Ithaca, N. Y.
Segis Fayne Johanna, by her wonder
full achievement, is now the most talked
of COW in the world, and her sensational
record marks signal triumph in the
