DRIVING. THE GERMANS.

Enough is reported Of the great
smash az the allies on the HIM
denhilrg line to Indicate that It
i a victory of SURPRISING lmpor-
lance. While the German forces
have been weakened by diver
sion into Italy. General tlalg. IA
vorcd hN weather conditions. has
driven through The defen>cs on
the west front to a depth Of five
mile, and along a distance OF -
miles. Thousand, Of prisoners
and great quantities Of guns and
war munitions have been cap
turcd. Several important towns
were retakcn While the allies
,drove through one defense after
|anolher.
This is splendid and gratifying
news and is especially welcome at
a time when the Russian tiasco
and the Italian defeat had be-
come depressing. We will be
most anxious to know the part
that was played by our boys. They
must haze had satisfactory re-
venge for the loss OF their com
radc~ a few weeks ago.
More than ever we are con-
WINGED that the German victories

lpIace~ where resistance was the
weakest must count for nothing

Mar. The Germans must WIN on

resistance serious. They must

THE TIME
BY Hildegarde Hawthorne
of The vigiiartes.
This is Il great time to be alive.'

This is Il great time to be alive.'
You hear that said often. You have
said it yourself, beyond doubt. 1t is
IA great time. The two poWerfullest
ideas of the race are in collision as
they have never been before, We feel
ourselves to be fighting for freedom
against oppression. The torch of hu-
man liberty that has somehow been
kept alight through the dark ages
and has blazed so brilliantly in the
great moments of history. the torch
that has always been our light, and
whose flame has been fed with precious
blood must not be eXtingulShed.
Again, whatever the cost. we must
see TO it that it keeps blazing. Let it
go out now and the work and suffer-
ing OF the ages goes for nothing.
You and ], people who up till now
have gone our more or less tranquil
and uneventful way with no thought
OF making history, with no especial
care for world facts and the great need
OF nations, YOU and | must do our best
to keep that torch burning.
That is why this is Il great time t"
be alive. Even our small and least
considered acts take on the shade Of
greatness. All We do tends to help Or
20 hinder the immense work OF fate.
Your very meals are consecrate1 to
freedom, or are inimical to it. You,
| careless words may be filled with i'm
| poctance, may work for bitter harm
or tip the balance toward ultimate
success. You are lin it, quite as mucn
as the soldier in the trench, and if you
are Il Stacker or Il coward, it you pre-
fer personal ease to work for the
great end, If you grumble or dispair. if
you whine and murmur, you are a
traitor TO your duty and your oppor-
tnnity you have no place in this Pre.,;
time.

Grow more sugar beets." is the ap-
peal from Herbert Hoover. United
States food administrators, to the
farmers of the nation. Missoula banks
are circulating this week copies of
letter from Hoover to the farmers.
"One of the most vital problems con-
fronting this nation" says the letter,
lis that of procuring sufficient sugar
to meet the requirements of our peo-
pie and Of the allied nations fighting
our common battle. We aust
rely upon the farmers in sugar beet
producing sections of the country for
"a part of the needed supply. l. there
fore, earnestly appeal to every farmer
so situated. to come to his country's
aid in this hour Of need. 1t is at
least the duty of every beet grower
to maintain in 1918 his normal acreag,
Of sugar beets. 1t is his privilege 10

meatless day offerings as "camouflage

not unlike meat, but they are Hoover
lied, just the same.
To make ''camouflage pork chops"
says Mullemer a stock should be
made of chopped onions, chile peppers
and chicken STOCK" with little to-
mato. To this. in a ratio of three parts
to one of the stock" rice is added. The
whole mixture is cooked, with a little
grated cheese, for 40 or As minutes.
Then it is allowed to cool. Imitation
chops are then shaped from the mix
ture and fried just like the real arti-
Gle.
They are good, too.
