All unemployed men in Maryland

and Maryland's success in attaining

Alfred is comparatively new man at
| the farming game but he shows good
! head work in his determination not to
| sacrifice his cattle, hogs and horses to
prevailing low prices. On the farm
northwest of Athol he has thirty head
of cattle, forty hogs and quite a drove
of mules and horses, but they are go

lieves he can. His first move will be
to put up a large silo and cram it full
of fodder from his 265 acre cornfeld
If necessary he will buy other feed,
and also depend some on the pastur-
age from a large wheat acreage he
will plant.-Pioneer.
The farmers OF Western Kansas are
much aroused because the state de-
Tense council wants to charge the
farmer one-fifth of the crop for seed
wheat. InaSmuch as the defense coun-
Gil has Abandoned the plan there is
no use of discussing the matter. There
is much to be said on both sides of
the question, but it seems to me mas
much as the issue is a national one
the state ought to take care of the
cost of the seed and charge it back to
the farmer. The attorney general,
1t is said, has ruled that the state
cannot do it unless we have a spe-
cial session of the legislature.
l have noticed that when big men
really want to do a thing there is al
ways law that will cover the point
and l cannot see why a law cannot
be found in this case.-Pink Rag.
On September 9Th, all women of
Kansas, sixteen years old or more are

what they can do to help win the war
their service may consist of their
daily routine working in the shop, or
keeping house and caring for the
children. The registration card to be
signed on. this day is a war service
census and d pledge card to support
the war. The women will be given an
opportunity to sign the Hoover con-
servation card at this time.
Women have a definite place in
our scheme of defense. Each individ- |
ual woman assumes responsibility for |
her share in that place when she re-
gisters September 9Th. Registration |
is not so much a duty as an opportun-
ity. Signing registration cards does
not mean compulsory service. 1t is an .
avenue through which our govern |
ment may secure valuable general |
information.
Women are as patriotic as men and |
as eager to serve. There are two ways |
for them-one is by actual service; |
the other is food conservation.
The council of defense has provid- |
ed the registration cards for the first; |
the Hoover card has been provided |
for the second.
