TIE distinguished delegation OF French
men now in this country. headed by Gen.
Joffre, are earnest in their appeal that an
American army shall be sent TO France
with the least possible delay. They say
that such an act will have tremendous
moral influence in inspiring the French
and English forces and in bringing CORE
spending depression 10 the Germans, and
may ultimately shorten the war.
But who can view with equanimity the
sadness OF sending our best young men
to the terrible trenches on the European
battle front?

A Letter To Sheep Breeders.
Department of Agriculture,
Charleston, w. Va,

Department OF agriculture,
Charleston. w. Va,
April 81, 1917.
Editor Register-Along the line of food
production and preservation. make the
suggestion that you join in an effort in
West Virginia to increase the number of
sheep. AT this time, as shown by asses
sors' reports for 1916, and more recent
investigations, the number OF sheep in
West Virginia is less than it has been for
many years. The United States De-
partment OF Agriculture investigation
shows in the western range country a
decrease OF Is to 30 per cent for the pres
ent year. A great increase can be made
in the flocks OF West Virginia now if the
owners Of land and the owners of flocks
already here will combine to prevent the
slaughter and shipment of eve lambs out
OF the State. Possibly 10000 or more
valuable young ewes can be added in the
effort to replenish our flocks. Instead OF
having approximately third OF million
sheep. we should have several million,
and this is one Of the ways by which we
can reach this result.
lease bring this to the attention of
your readers as emphaticaly as you can,
and by doing so successfully, you will
bring about great benefit TO your read
ers and the State. The attention of deal
ers should be brought 10 the fact thatthey
can obtain as good prices by selling direct
to West Virginians as elsewhere.
Any owners or dealer who have eve
lambs for sale will facilitate the DISPOSE
ton of them if they will communicate
with the undersigned at Charleston, West
Virginia.
Very truly yours.
H. STEWART.

Proud and grateful tor what our brave
men and loyal women have done when
our country called on them, II has been
suggested that we "do our'bit'' again. Ii

lions OF the community. Therefore a call
is hereby made for The men, women, boys
and girls TO meet on the above date, May
nth, at 8 o'clock, in the college auditor
ium, 10 formulate such plans as will prove
us valuable workers for our country at
this critical time-workerS worthy OF

tage we now enjoy.
II is expected that patriotic speeches
will be made by persons from other
places.

THERE is no better way to conserve the
food supply in the United States than by
al once putting an end 10 the rotting OF
millions of bushels OF grain used by the
diStillers and brewers. Bread is better
for the people than booze.
France, England and Russia have all
SEN the evils OF liquor and have curbed
its manufacture long ago. Why should
not the United States profit by the mis-
takes these countries made in deterring
such regulations until vast quantities OF
grain had been worse than wasted?

CONGRESS doesn't take kindly to COL
onel Roosevelt's plan TO raise an army at

We think that ii would be good thing to
permit him TO do so. Itwould give those

volunteer, and at the same time allow the
Colonel 10 do some real fighting if he
actually desires such experience.

A CRAZY CREW.

Any doubts Germans living in Ana- erica may have had concerning the sad plight of their fatherland under the Hohenzollerns, von Tirpitz. Hnll- veg and the despicable Zimmerman, that did not fade with the publish ing of the latters' German Mexican Japanese plot. must be entirely eras- ed by knowledge that these hellions contemplated a war by which half a republic peopled by white men. many of them Germany's own best blood was to have been turned over to brown skinned brigands and orientals.
 It Is bad enough that in their ex- tremity the allies have called upon the dark peoples of the earth for troops and that the Teutons have formed an alliance with the Turks. but the invasion of Belgium, the en- gulfing of Serbia and Roumania were as nothing compared to the proposed fate Of the United States.
 So far as known this is the first instance in which the partition of any of the first class nations has been considered as an outcome of the pres ent conflict.
 But America. the land of the free, the land to which hundreds, yes thou sands of the very subjects of the kaiser are yearning to go. this land was to have been whitfield up into Japanese and Mexican provinces. Possibly further information will show that Florida was to be present. ed to the Turks and the rest of the country to become New Prusia" as

REQUESTING POVERTY.

At least one country in the United States has found the end of the lane on its public charity expenditures Mainly in this country, no matter what stage of prosperity the nation enjoys, we have news of constantly increasing expenditures of public money for the relief of the poor, and in many counties poor farms are maintained as permanent shelters for the poor. the aged and the decrepit. To what extent this aid should finally go has not been apparent.
 Montgomery county. Missouri, re- gently took account of stock and found that 1t had but three aged or demented persons who are incapable of earning a living. Having no poor, or class of citizens without means of livelihood, among a population of 15,o00 people, it had no need of a poor farm and sold the farm at pub lie auction. The proceeds ss,500. are to be expended in building county roads.
 Montgomery county ascribes its ideal condition to the fact that 1t has not now, nor has had for many years. a saloon or blind pig within it's borders Its citizens have lived so long in arid conditions that they have been weaned from intoxicating liquor and from any desire for it. A blind pig could not thrive in Mont gomery county because there is no demand for Its stock in trade
 Kansas. as one of the. oldest pro- hibition states, possesses some inter- est for states just enterng into season of bone dIyness. Of the 105 counties in the state, eigh.-flve have no paupers. nor is money In any substantial sum expended for poor relief
 It would be inaccurate to say that intoxicating iquor Is responsible for all poverty. There are many human beings who would be poor whatever the circumstances of life around them. But indeniably, the abolition of liquor has made for better conditions of human life and increased the earning and saving capacity of the average citizen.

ASKS HONOR FOR ALASKA.

The appropriateness of naming one of the new battleships Alaska, after the country's last great frontier, is to be used upon the navy department by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. This action was decided upon at a meeting of the members of the bureau, held recently in the Arctic Club. A resolution de- elaring that Alaska is a land of rich end unlimited resources and that its great coal fields contain the only coal on the Pacific coast suitable for naval purposes, was adopted by the mem- bers of the bureau and ordered sen. to Secretary of the Navy Daniels Seattle st-Intelligencer.

AlASKANS MOST NoMADlC OF
 TRIBES.

Just a few weeks ago when the prohibition bill was up in the lower house of congress. an Alaskan named Mckenzie told the houes committee that the people of this territory can boast of a higher average of intelli- gence than the people of the states and 10 prove his argument he told of the travelling of Alaskans and compared them in this respect with people in Virginia who had never seen Washington, D. c.
 Mackenzie is right. If wandering about can make a man intelligent there are several thousands of AL askans who ought to be able to give Solomon a hard fight for the heavy weight championship of the world. If you can ever find man who has been resident of this territory for any number of years and who has not travelled some thousands of miles for every years residence you will have discovered a man whos must be suffering from locomotor ataxia.
 The towns of the territory are pop ulated entirely by people who have been in other towns. If you take any one town and analyze it's residents you will find most interesting mix up.
 While we hear a lot of the great foreign" population of Anchorage you will find that ninety per cent of the property holders are men from other Alaskan towns, and from all Alaskan towns. Seward, Valdez, Cor dova and the other coast cities are very strongly represented but you will also find there Koyukukers, Kobukers, lditaroders. Ramparters anld all the rest of them easily holding their own, any everyone of them has travelled about as many thousands of miles as there are years to his age.
 This knocking around certain does add to a mans intelligence as a rule even if the addition it brings to his bank account Is written in letters of red. What is thousand miles in a country where many have tied a few logs together and floated that distance
