at this time their condition was u per
cent and in 1915, 81 per cent. These
counties have experienced one Of the
longest dry periods this season that

moisture enough during the last four
or five months to keep them out Of
danger
The growing condition Of oats Is 81
per cent This is per cent better
than the condition of one year ago
However, 1t is little early for any
definite information concerning the

WHY WE FIGHT

I'VE have no quarrel with the Ger
man people We have no feeling to-
ward them but ore OF sympathy and
friendship. 1t was not upon their im'
pulse that their government acted in
governing this war. 1t was not with
their previous knowledge or approval,
Il was a war determined upon as wars
used 10 be determined on in the old,
unhappy days when peoples We're no
where consulted by their rulers and
wars were provoked and waged in the
interest Of dynasties or OF little groups
of ambitious men who were accustom-
ed to use their fellow-men as pawns
and tools
"Self,government nations DO not fill
their neighbor states with spies or set
the course OF intrigue to bring about
some critical posture Of affairs which
win give them an opportunity to
strike and make conquests Such de.
signs can be successfully worked only
under cover and whore no one has the
right to ask questions
"Cunnngiy contriyed plans OF de-
ception Of aggression carried, Il may
be from generation to generation can
be worked out and kept from the light
only within the privacy of courts or
behind the carefully guarded conf
dences of narrow and privileged
class They are happily impossible
where public opinion commands and
Insists upon full information concern
Ing all the nations affairs.
1--WE are now about to accept the
gauge OF hattie with this natural foe
to liberty and shall, II necessary, spend
the whole force Of the nation to check
and nullify its pretensions and its pow
er We are glad now that we see the
facts with no veil OF false pretonse
about them. TO fight thus for the ul
innate peace of the world and for the
liberation Of its people, the German
peoples included, for the rights OF ma

shall desire nothing so much as the
early re-establishmept of intimate re-
lations Of mutual advantage between
us--however hard 1t may be for them
for the time being to believe that this
is spoken from our hearts We have
borne with their present government
through all these bitter months be-
cause OF that friendship exercising a.
patience which would otherwise have
been impossible We shall, happily
still have an opportunity to prove that
friendship in our daily attitude and ac-

To Prevent Old Age
Coming Too Soon !
(BY L. H. SMITH. NJ. d.

Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act
as filters for such poisons. If we wish
10 prevent old age coming too soon and
increase our chances for long life, we
should drink plenty OF pure water and
take little Anuric.
When suffering from backache, fre-
quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
here c~ there, or that constant tired,
worn out feeling, the simple way to
overcome these disorders is merely to
obtain little Anuric from your nearest
druggist and you viii quickly notice
the grand results. You will find it
many times more potent than lithia, and
that it dissolves uric acid as hot water
does sugar.

ANTI-CIGARETTE SUNDAY

First Big Land Battle of the year next Sunday. Why have the Sunday schools taken up this work? Because science has proven that nicotine has been found guilty of contaminating our American life.
 The people of these United States spend billion and half dollars a year for tobacco-twice as much as for bread; three times as much as for educaton; five times as much as for christianity. This money would buy all our boots and shoes and dry goods, and pay all the expenses of the army and navy in times of peace. We spend S5O.0O a second for to- bacco.
 Why spend ye your money for that which is not bread, and for that which satisfeth not?"
 No wonder many physicians declare that the nervous system of the people IS crumbling because saturated with alcohol and nicotine.
 Let the Sunday schools of Prescott do their duty along this line.

SCHOOL PRIMARY

The Board of Education decided at a recent meeting to call primary election for the purpose of nominat- ing two directors to success Tno. A. Davis and II. B. Mckenzie, and set Wednesday, May 18th, for the date of the primary. There will be only one voting place which will be at the court house and the polls will be open from 1 o'clock until 6;30 D. m. and all white people who are qualified can vote. We understand that the Attor- ney General has decided that women can not vote in school elections this year, but we do not understand that this keeps them from participating in the primary if they are otherwise qualified and so desire.
