up In New York and sold widely

Canada, Mexico, and Central America,

ored with little aniline dye. The

In the letter of instructions tc

committee of the American Defense
society gives the following directions
eat the earliest possible moment
when you have made this list of alien
enemies, pro-Germans, and those OPP
posed to the government in this war,
send this list to the police depart
ment, the local representative of the
Department of Justice, and to what
ever representatives of the army or
navy intelligence bureaus there are in
your community. Do not let this
matter rest, however, with this first
classification of the enemies. Too
much stress can not be put on the i'm
portance of having your own Vigil
ance Corps take steps to watch alien
enemies, pro-Germans, and those OPP
posed to the government Only by
such cooperation will you be able to
give effective aid to the government.
Take every means you can to let the
people of your city know the names
of our enemies"
Unofficial announcement has al
ready been made at Washington that
the government is about to register
the alien enemies in America. Your
committee already having acted along
such lines, will naturally be in posi-
ton greatly to aid the government
census when such a census is taken.
No doubt many attempts will be made
to evade the official government CEN
sus and information on the enemies in
your community will therefore be of
greatest value"
You are enjoined to watch the
speech, associations and activities of
every man whom you may suspect of
diisloyalty and to send in the imme-
date report"

DEFENSE SOCIETY CALLS FOR
LOCAL VIGILANCE CORPS

A few citizens met last night and
formed an organization which is to be
known as the Liberal Vigilance Corps
of the American Defense Society.
Chas. Summers was made chairman
and j. N. Evans, secretary-treasurer.
An executive committee was selected.
The organization was effected in &C
cordance with the request made by
Richard M. Hurd, chairman OF the
board of trustees of the American
Defense society, urging citizens here
oorganize local vigilance corps for
the purpose of aiding the government
in putting an end to German propa-
ganda and enemy activity which has
been responsible for fires, ammuni-
ton plant explosions, sabotage, food
scares and other attempts to damage
the morale of the American people.
"Recent events in this country
make it plain that the German meth
cd of propaganda which has been so
effective in Russia and Italy is now
being attempted in this country with
an alarming degree of success, ac-
cording to the appeal to Americans
now being issued by the American
Defense society. German propa-
ganda has long been supplied to our
troops in the national encampments.
The ship-building program is being
interfered with by German-inspired
strikes. Germans are directing the
boarding of food supplies to an ex-
tent that panics have already been
prevalent in the leading cities. News
papers are giving daily reports of
fires in ammunition plants and grain
depots an dthe country is now on the
verge of an even greater calamity in
the shape of a railroad strike of I'M
precedented extent which threatens
to cripple our national industry"
The far-reaching need Of the local
vigilance corps can readily be seen
when it is known that in this country
alone there are today several million
alien enemies representing Germany,
Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey, and other
countries sympathetic or allied with
the Prussian autocracy. Almost with
out exception these enemies are free
to go about as they see fit, and while
the government has done much to-
ward tightening the censorship of
mails and cables, nevertheless there
are numberless channels by which
these enemies are in touch with the
directing genius of German propa-
ganda in Berlin.
If Americans mean to stand by the
men at the front, whose lives are
already being sacrificed, and to stand
by their government, the opportunity
is offered in the additional service
they can give to this work of the
.American Defense society.
The plan of organization undertake
en- by the soriety and recommended to
loyal Americans provides for the en-
rollment Of small American Vigil
ance Corps in every city and town
which shall classify all residents under
the following terms:
/. Loyal.
2. Disloyal.
8. Doubtful.
A. Unknown.

A Food Program for the Nation.

Let me mention few specific
things which must be done,
things which it would be well to
do for peace as well as war:
Farming must be educated, eff
ficient, scientific farming. There
was never a greater need for
scientific, businesslike farmers
than there is today, and never
were better facilities for learn
ing how to farm efficiently with
in the reach of every farmer
than there are today.
Cooperation must be the watch.
word-cooperation between far
mer and farmer and between
consumer and farmer, for by no
other means will the waste of
distribution be eliminated.
Our unused resources in the
shape of backwards suitable for
vegetable gardens must be util-
lied. Fortunately an early and
apparently successful campaign
to this end was launched this
spring. 1t should be followed ND
this summer by home canning of
the superfuous vegetables for
winter use.
There must be economy in
consumption. An annual food
waste of $500, 900, 900 in Amer
lean homes is estimated by our
experts. We do not cook, man.
age or eat frugally.
The American dietary needs
revision upward. Wheat meal
ground in a hand grist mill in the
kitchen is as good as most patent
breakfast foods and much cheap
er. Corn meal, provided fresh
vegetables are eaten. is a good
and cheapsubstitute for potatoes.
The Department of Agriculture
has published a mass of informa-
ton on the question of available
economical food substitutes.
Many farmers nowadays think
it below their dignity to keep q
kitchen garden. But side issues
like a garden, a few chickens,
mich cows, a few pigs, a few
ewes, and a few colonies of bees
things that turn waste MATER

Mr.. Cundiff was cheerful, and

had called on sick friend, Mr..

late paper to read. and had re-

his sons, Earnest and John Will,
were blowing He usually made
some remark, but this time he
did not. John Will turned and
just as he did so, his father stag
gered and fell. He left his team
and ran to him and said: Papa,
you must not leave the house
alone any more. (" He said well
| WON'T" and Earnest came to
him also. John Will had him in
his arms, when he looked up and
smiled at them. He did not
speak again. They called for
help and in a short time the
family were all at his side when
death came, but one son, Finis
Cundiff, who lives at Cane VAL
ley. He leaves to mourn his alb
sence his aged wife, Elizabeth

lives near Gradyville.
When the war of the States
broke out he enlisted in the I'm
ion army, serving his country
faithfully for 2 years and 10
months, he was wounded in his
side, when he returned home.
He did not lay down his cross he
was a faithful soldier to the end
About 6 years ago he gave his
life TO Christ, and united with
the Christian church, at Cane
Valley, and lived a true noble
life to the end. Both young and
the aged received the hand of
welcome when they reached his
door, let it be morning, noon or
midnight, the same cheerful
face was there TO greet them.
He was a kind gentle husband
to his dear wife, a loving father,
with strong arms of protection
for his children and oh, how he
will be missed, the vacant chair,
the leader in the happy home
life, which no substitute Can ev-
er fill. He was very deaf and
enjoyed his papers to read and

could talk and make him hear.
