not think of anyone finding II
Out-but the best laid plans
sometimes go astray and this was
one of them. Harlan left box of
cigars with his foreman to give
to his fellow workers at the
shops and they were given out too
soon for him to get clear Of Mis-

bank in Omaha. She is an ac-
complished young lady and has q

every happiness. Harlan, tho
youngest son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Il
l.. Tracy, has been raised in tho
Valley, graduate of our city
schools, also of Ames Agricul-
tural college, and has always
made friends with every one who
met him by his likeable and man
| ly ways.
The Times joins their friends

BE cANhY.

Everybody can! Put your
spare time into cans and jars.
Home canning is kitchen pa
triotism.
Don't have an empty preserv-
ing jar in your neighborhood
next fall.
If you have more preserving
jars than you can fill, lend them
to neighbor who will make them
work for the nation.
Some neighbour surely can eat
or put up surplus products from
your place.
A quart of canned peaches or
tomatoes on the shelf is worth a
bushel rotting on the ground.
See that the shelves in your
preserving closet sag just little
this year.
Wedding will seem easy next
winter when mother serves those
home canned string beans.

Everywhere the foreign press, save in German praises the recent message delivered to Congress orsident Wilson. The London Daily News says:
 Ut would be affectation to pretend that this language echoes the declarations of the European spokesmen of the alliance. It is the voice of a statesman whose vision cOmprehends the world while theirs comprehends only half world. In the light of President Wilson's speech statement that will mean the wiping off the slate of much that should never have been written on it is imperative There is no kinship between the spirit of yesterdays speech and the spirit of knockout blows of econoimc warfare or aferhe-war boycotts'
 The Times says there no half-tones about the Presidents address, adding:
 There are no ambiguous phrases which militarists may feed the illusions of their dupes hints of compromise and no suggestion of faltering doubt to raise the spirits of the pacific. With this straightforward and logical statement of Americas war aims the last hope of the pacfists must founder"
 The Daily Graphic says:
 "Whether this restatement lofty in spirit so forward looking in effect, will have any in fuence German opinion is doubtful. Then the only resort is to inflict such military defeat upon Germany to convince the Germans of the infamousness of their rulers. In this nectOn it is excellent omen that the ference in Paris reached such a complete mity. America represented at the ference and there follows that the war aims of the Allies no longer be described in any imperalistic,'
 Independence Beige. Belgian newspaper considers President Wilson's message "one of the rare documents or Wnlcn history Will keep impershable memory" The newspaper thinks that if the message he submitted to the peoples of the Central Powers and the text not mutilated the Presidents previous sage the peace idea will be seriously ad vanced, "because the German people too intelligent not to realize that but MT Wilson formula will be able to dura ble peace"
 The South American press halls P resident Wilson's message as the greater declaration of democratic ideals ever made and approves the logic of the allies of a nation which, it declares, stands for everything imperiastie
 Fl Diario (Buenos Aires), after praising the message convincing argument and magnf cent oraton, calls President Wilson The evangelist of democracy" It adds:

WORK OF BELGIUM ARMY.

Summarizing the work of the Belgian army and referring to it's difficulties equipment, the Belgian minister of recalled that in August. 1914 the army had only machine gun for each 1000 short of 3inch guns and had ammunition for only about 500 shots for each piece. It had light mortars heavy artillery, grenades, trench equipment, ambulances, pontoon crews, and not single cycle It had only LOGO bicycles. ? cap tive balloons few superannuated airpanes and few posts wireless telegraphy.
 We had only 32.000 infantry after the battle of the Yser,' said the minister and it's equipment in
 pitiable state munitions were lacking and all the different organisms deranged when the army base transferred to foreign soil This remnant of an army only barred the way Calais but while do ing reorganized and reinforced until it counts three times the number of that the battle of the Yser left valid. The front held by the Bel gan army has been gradually heightened from about 121s miles after the battle of the Yser miles in June, 1916 The Belgian army organized this front and held it alone until the middle this year. when as a of the operations of the Allied offensive in Flanders. it reduced. enabling army to dispose of considerable reserves.
 "The Belgian army prepared more than 25O miles of trenches and rebuilt than 200 miles of road. Eighty different lines of normal guage railroads were built. Battery emplaeements constructed by hun dreds and thirteen thousand miles telephone wires put up laid underground
 Tn August. 1917, the army had twelve times as many machine guns in 1914. seven times as many field guns and heavy pieces with five times as much ammunition on hand at the of hosities It has times many airplanes.
 Belgian aviators during three months normal ac- tivity executed nearly 2OOO flights. which 1920 were in pursuit of adversary planes. All different arms service have progressed and been improved in the ratio indicated by these figures
 "The impression that has abroad that the Belgian army reorganized and re-equipped en- tfrely by allies is error the minister added Belgium exed and deprived of all her resources ceived generous hospitality and powerful from her glorious allies. It French and British soil that all be done, but Belgans themselves took up the work of reconstruction. The Belgian army
