THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The people of Marshall county have
subscribed nearly 100000 to the Liber-
ty Loan, or, to be exact, $95,550. When
it is considered that this is new and
sparsely settled county and the time
limited in which to make the canvass,
the county has done very well.

While a number Of the valley towns

reputation of being the city where they

THE CROPS AND THE sEEATHER

This locality had heavy rain on
Sunday evening and during the night.
On Monday also there were showers.
Since then the weather has been clear
but not very warm. Wheat is looking
fine and gardens coming along nicely.

!. TEA
FOR. A BAD COLD
kt1sLkx

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take a tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

We're not brutal, leonine men animals I
saw; only patient, dumb, obedient, long
suffering kindly ones, such as cattle,
deer, horses and dogs.
To be turned into such a man is worse
than death, and among thinking men in
the six armies that I saw at close
range I often found soldiers and officers
who realized what sort Of beings they
had become. There are penalties just
short of death for men in the various
armies who sicken of being unthinking
men animals and try to find way out
of their plight by suicide-who stick
their heads above the trenches Of who
would themselves with their own rifles.
The moral and mental disintegration
that is caused by the surroundings Of
military service in individual cases is
shocking. This applies to all armies
that l have seen.

THERE ARE WORSE THINGS IN
WAR THAN SLAUGHTER,
WILLIAM G.. SHEPHERD.
(Quoted from Today's Issue of Every
Week.)

Those Of you who followed the things
l wrote for the Commonwealth and the
United Press may have been impressed
with the horror of slaughter among the
fighting people in Europe
But there are worse things in war
than slaughter. In the current issue Of
Every Week I have told what those
things are; and summarized quota
ton from that story may interest you:
Ism t the slaughter terrible?''
Everybody who returns to the United
States from the war in Europe is asked
this question, trite as it seems.
Ny answer must always be:
"Dying or killing are not the most
| terrible things that war brings to q
man woman or child. In Europe you
see worse things than dying or killing
Worse things happen to European folk
than being killed or crippled
The first dead man I saw in the war
back in those early and old-time day:
in Belgium, struck me as having beer
uselesslv murdered, and the sight lef
a baleful impression on my mind, for
time. To my surprise, however, | 500,
beheld such sights without emotion
But there was one sight-one NANTES
tation of the horrors of war that
could not accustom myself to viev
without a mental shudGer. This wa
the sight of vast bodies Of men march
ing or camping.
There they were, men Of family, o
business, Of ideals, Of religion, al

alike. Like barrels whose hoops hav
been removed, these men, individuall
in their lives and in their character
have fallen apart since the bindin
support of their home environment ha
been taken away from round abou
them. The impression that they wer
like animals, like herded, unthinkin
beasts, was so strong upon me that a

In one particular they Were dis appointed as the gentleman from Washington that was listed to speak on agriculture failed to materializa.
 J. H. McClain spoke on Dairy ing and made an excellent talk along those lines that were of much interest to our local dairy farmers.
 The Local Club bas just receiv- ed long letter of explanation which we will publish next week. It explains why the agricultural speaker was not here on sched- ule time. This was quite a disap pointment to the many farmers who came for miles leaving their farm work to be present at the meeting. The Club did every thing that could be to get these people, and were greatly disap pointed also.

 This is one of the best moves that can be made for this section as the dairy business is one of the best We have here, and the importation of this cattle will put considerable money in circula tion that could not otherwise be gotten here.

He states that 1t can be planted at the same time as other rices and natures two or three weeks earlier, and is grown with much less water. He also states that it will mill from 10 to 15 bounds more fancy rice to the bushel than Honduras making it very profitable vari- ety for the grower. He says he has sold quite a quantity of this variety, but has been unable to get cars to ship It.

The Southern Rice Growers association, sold through their Stuttgart office, to the Dewitt Rice mill, last week, 1000 bags of rice at Sl05 per bushel and GOO bags at Sl00 This shows that the market is improving There is considerable rice that has not been sold on account of the drag in the market during and after the holidays.
 We understand that there is petition being circulated to raise money to be used to employ a public COW tester for the pur- pose of eliminating all stock that is not profitable for dairy pur- poses. This is one of the best moves that has yet been made, as it does not cost any more to feed and take care of a paying animal than it does to take care of a scrub. There seems now to be an inclination on the part of our dairy farmers to buy better stock and We hope to see the good work go on.
 Morrison and Lilly who have been in the livery business here for some time. have sold out their stock and livery accessor ies and quit the business. The barn vacated by them will be Oc- cupied by MT. Elmer Wood who will conduct 2 livery business there tn the future. Mr. Morri- son has purchased new Ford and will continue running serv- ice car.
