THE GREAT SPRING DRIVE.

The great "spring drive" is on! The
result Of this momentous push is looked
forward to by millions on the Eastern
war front. And right here in Mime
apolis master strategists are at work
night and day with plans that must bring
victory and peace to the hearts OF the
anxious millions in whose behalf the
drive is undertaken. The strangeness
and uniqueness of this "drive" is that
checks advance it,
General Joseph H. Schanfeld, chief OF
the general staff, and Field Marshals DR..
Chas. Rauch and Arthur Brin have map
ped out plan of action which is GER
tain to bring success nearer to the cam
paign for seventy-five thousand dollar
contribution from Minneapolis. So con-
fident are they that they are even will
ing to make their plan Of action public.
A picked force of one hundred and
quarter stalwart and brave men have
been chosen to lead the attack. They are
divided in two equal corps, known as the
army of the Gymal Doleds and the army
of the B'nai Births. Field Marshal DR..
Chas Rauch has taken command OF the
Gymal Doleds while Field Marshal Ar
thur Brin has assumed charge OF the
B'nai Births.
The objective of the "great offensive"
this time will be those Jews who have
as yet not done their bit in contributing
for the "Ten Million Dollar Fund" The
intelligence department Of the armies
have already gathered information as
to where fourteen hundred of these are
located during business hours and it is
against them that the attack is being
made this week.
Saturday will mark the end of the
drive, and at six o'clock at the dinner
board at the Elk's club, cost of which
will be borne by the losing division, the
marshals, captains and their teammates
will make their reports which will de-
termine the winner Of the loving cup do
mated by the Jacobs Jewelry Co.
The field marshals have chosen the
following to captain their respective
teams: The Bnai Briths-Chas. Conner,
Louis Schwartz, George Monasch, How
ard Kayser, A. NJ Bearman, Chas. Juster,
Leo Shapiro, Dr. C. D. Matt, Simon Mey-
ers, Irwin Goldstein, H. Cotlow, I. Levin
and A. l. Friend. Those chosen by Field
Marshal DR.. Chas. Rauch to win for the
Gymal Doleds are Messrs. Sol. Gottlieb,
A. H. Karatz, Paul Pink, Art Rosenberg,
Sam Schein, Chas. SHERMAN, DR.. Geo.
j. Gordon, L. H. Frisch, H. 1. Joselowitz,
A. Goldberg, Louis Berry, John Gelman,
Louis Braunstein, Israel Kreiner, and
Louis Rosenfeld
The End is Not Yet
This interesting experiment is merely
the opening effort of the most thorough
intensive subscription campaign ever
planned for the local Jewish community.
Following the tabulation of results from
the down town list the residential can
vass will be undertaken. During the
interim it is expected that the general
organization of women will have it's plans
so we'll under way that on or before
June 23rd the Jewesses of Minneapolis
will be ready to launch their own final

SOW OATS, WHEAT AND
RYE.

After this years great success
as corn, bean, and potato
producing state it needs no argu-
ment to get Mississippi to grow
food crops In abundance, for
that way lies prosperity. The
questions being asked by many
farmers now are what when and
howy In reply e. r. Lloyd, Di-
rector of the States Experiment
Station and Extension Work
says:
"Sow oats. wheat and rye this
fall. Plant oats from September
Is to October Is wheat Oct Is
to November 15, and rye from
Sept. Is to Nov. Is. The early
planting of oats and rye are for
grazing.
To properly prepare the soil
remove the s-owth and disc and
harrow the land. Where the
land bas not been cultivated or
has a growth that cannot be re-
moved plow and harrow the land
and wait for a rain to firm it be-
fore planting the seed. This
firming can also be done by the
use of a roller
"The varieties to plant of oats
are Red Rust Proof, Hastings,
ane Appler of wheat, Red May,
Purple Straw, and Fultz; of rye,
Abbruzzi, and Southern Grown
The amounts of oats to SOW to

Bryan Discards Peace at
any Price for fight to
Finish Slogan.

"Peace at any price,'' has
been stricken from the code of
VIM Jennings Bryan and slight
to q finish" has been substited.
Speaking before the annual sscon-
vention of the international
Lyceum association, Bryan de-
clared; ''The quickest way ont
of the war Is straight through"
He branded pacifists as pro.
moters of anarchy.
"Any division or discussion
now" Bryan asserted, would
simply prolong the war and
make it more costly in lives and
treasure and the more anxiously
one desires peace the more firmly
he should support the govern
ment in the quickest way Of as
sgrlng peace.
gWill not discuss the cause of
the Wsr. | care not what caused
the government to declare war.
Once the government has acted
it is the duty of every citizen to
aquiesce."

of success of their live stock and
home products exhibitions In few
years under proper management and
with the encouragement of the citi-
zens.
Make it point to attend tonight to-
morrow or Saturday. Let your pres
ence indicate that you favor the devel-
opment of an annual show which will
make Ottumwa even more OF live
stock center than 1t has been for years.

morrow, or Saturday, visit the show,

AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM.

From all accounts the birthday
party for General Won Hindenburg
was happy affair all around. The
little children threw flowers in his
path, the aviators dropped blossoms
from the air, the kaiser and General
Won Ludendorff told the field marshal
he was distinctly the best field mar
shall that ever made a strategic re-
treat everybody said Germany was
about to win the war, and "a pleasant
time was had by all"
But the most significant remark was
that of the emperor, when he spoke OF
"the victorious end Of the war. out of
which strong. healthy and respected
Germany will arise"
"a respected Germany" is an impos'
sibility until the German people wipe
away the stain of the atrocities their
soldiers have committed since they
surged across the Belgian frontier in
1914. They forfeited all right to re-
spect from decent men when they
threw aside decency, self-respect and
humane instincts to engage in wild
orgy OF drunkenness, rapine, plumber
and destruction which make the atroc-
tiles OF Atilla's Huns seem like the
pranks of harmless children in com.
parison.
"A respected Germany" is impossi-
BILE while memories of the Lusitania
horror remain and while the German
people continue to give their passive
approval to the ruthlessness, the dis.
honor, the intrigue and lawlessness OF
their despot and his tools.
