Departments first Official word on the
German raiders capture OF prisoners

But II a priyateer or raider captures
another vessel on the seas, this gov

As there is no money in the State
treasury for the purpose OF defray-
ing the expenses of hotel inspection
in Missouri the State inspector has
indefinitely laid off all of the in
spectors, aud the hotels are getting
along without the once over" they
have been getting. There is enough
money topay the Chief Inspector
so he remains on the job but his
deputies are out in the cold The
hotel inspection law was passed
some ten years ago with a view to
greatly improving the condition Of
hotels but it is doubtful il it ever
served the purpose, and an unsuc
cessful effort was later made to re-
peal it. A trial without inspection
for few months may result in the
repeal of the law by the next Leeis
lature.

Feeding Wheat.

Wheat is being fed to hogs and
other live stock as substitute for
corn in many counties of North
eastern Oklahoma. Pending gov
ernmental action little wheat will
be marketed from these counties at
the price fixed by the Food Admin
istration, according to the State
Board of Agriculture
The action of the farmers is due
to the scarcity of corn aud that the
farmer feels the Government has
placed an arbitrary price upon his
product at time when the law of
supply and demand is in bis favor
without at the same time fixing
prices of other articles for his con-
sumption, the statement says.
Very little corn has been raised
in Northwestern Oklahoma, one
county reporting 3 per cent crop"
the statement continues.
With corn worth So rs a bushei
and wheat bringing from $3.50 to
Sl.95 at the elevator. the formers
are using wheat for fattenine hogs.
Little wheat will be sold until
the price is raised. county agents
report, The Government has not
fixed the price OF corn.

Peace.


country. all the people. become. fully
awake to the fact that there can
now be no peace. no lasting peace
for the nations across the ocean, or
for this nation. except through the
war that is now being fought and
through that war being fought out
to the bitter end. fought to a final
victory for the nations with which
the United States is allied. the
sooner peace will come.
The sooner every American ar
rives at the firm Diet, rmination
that we must win and to the end
Il at we shall win. determines to do
all that is in the power of man, de.
termines to cheerfully and readily
make any and every sacrifice that
may be necessary to the end that
we shall win, the sooner that great
struggle will come TO an end.
There has never been a time in
the history of this country when it
was more important that the peo-
pie should be united in sentiment,
should stand shoulder to shoulder
in word and indeed, in every way
that can help. than at the present.
There has never been time
when even seeming indifference
on the part of the people of this
country, on only a part of the PEG.
pie. was more to be deplored than
at this time. and it does not require
very close observer to detect that
there is such seeming indifference
on the part Of many who would not
be willing to admit even to
themselves that they are not TAX
ing the interest in this matter that
they should do.
There never was a time when
the people OF this country should
be more wide awake to the mighty
consequences that may result from
the struggle in which we are engag-
ed, consequences that mean all the
difference between. "a ]. free land in
dependent nation and a nation de-
pendent upon foreign power for a
time at least. if not for all time.
This condition on the part of
many OF the people of the United
States is not so much on account
of lack of patriotism as it is on
account of failure to fully realize
the magnitude of the task that has
been undertaken, and partly on &C.
count Of an overconfidence on their
parts that this country, regardless
of the result Of this war, can be in
no danger of foreign invasion.
A universal awakening is needed,
a blaze of determination and enthu-
siasm~ needs to be kindled through
out the length and breadth of the
land. The men who are called to
the front should know that the
hearts of the people are with them
not only personally, but with them
in every fiber Of their make up in
the cause in which they are called
to the battle line. THIS is what will
make for victory and for peace.
