portion of the soil that it is his
bounden duty in this emergency to
make that soil produce to the limit
of its capacity. The Almighty
has blessed US with fair land and
a wonderfully productive one. We
are facing a struggle that may tax
our resources and our strength to
the utmost. We will be criminally
negligent if we relax in the least
our efforts in food production.
And this applies to others besides
the farmer and the gardener. The
bankers and merchants, business
men of all lines by standing Shout
der to shoulder with the actual
tillers of the soil, lending their help
in whatever way it is needed, can
advance the cause wonderfully.
Many farmers, especially the small
er ones and the renters, will need
assistance. This should be forth
coming-not primarily for the sake
Of the individual, but that he may be
unit in swelling our national pro-
duction.
Let us all bear in mind that in
the eventful year of 1917 PRODUC-
TION will be as truly patriotic as
DESTRUCTION.
The man behind the pillow will be
as truly the savior of his country as
the man behind the gun.
Our duty calls to us in clarion
tones. Let us face it without an
instant of hesitation.
Let EVERYBODY produce SOME
THING.

PRODUCTION OR DEsTRucTIon

Amidst the excitement on these
days It win be wen II we give atten-
ton to the voice Of wisdom
Patriotism Is one Of the greatest
virfures But patriotism Is not al
ways armed with rife, neither IS
its possessor always a target for
e bullet. That this Is peculiarly. the
case just at this time IS brought
forcibly to our minds when we be-
gin to soberly study our condition.
When state oil war was declared
BY Congress this country was al
ready facing exhorbitant food
prices. and on top Of that comes the
diseouraging prediction of a fifty
million bushel shortage in the 1917
wheat crop. We are also threaten
ed with shortage in the potato
crop. due to the almost prohibitive
price Of the seed.
Again bear in mind that il is the
purpose TO lend every possible sup
port to the allies, and if this policy
is followed there win be very little
falling off in exports.
President wilson has said that he
does not want to disturb the indus
tries where it can possibly be avoid
ed. Nevertheless, enlistments are
sure TO disturb them TO a consider
able extent, especially the agrieul-
tural interests, from which field re-
cruits are always largely drawn in
warfare.
Hence the importance of the food
problem looms even greater than
that &C fighting and Inc man behind
the pillow is destined to be as great
a patriot as the man behind the
gun.
Thousands Of farms in this
country have for years followed a
policy of limiting production. This
has come about gradually and from
various causes. The scarcity of
help was one cause, but the great
est has been the low prices hereto
fore prevailing for farm products.
The latter, however, Is at an end,
and the policy of curtailment should
be abandoned. In fact, our plain
duty now is to provide food for the
nation. as this is the foundation Of 4
all preparedness. Men and guns
are powerless without it.
Spring planting is just opening
mp over much of the country, and
the truth should be forcibly driven
home to every person who owns a

at Camp Wadsworth, said:
1--WE are in this war TO the last
drop of blood, to the last dollar, to
the end, TO the finish and we will
win because the principles for which
we fight are right"

could put soldiers of such high pur-
pose in the field.
When / see these men and men

MANY NEW OFFICERS BE
HELD ON ELIGIBLE LIST
Training Camp Graduates Are Not
All Needed Now and Will Be
Subject to Call.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Under
plans completed by the war depart
ment for disposition of the grad
yates of the second series of officers
training camps, which close this
month, every man of the 1900
who is recommended for commission
either will be commissioned at once
or placed on an eligible list subject
to call.
The commissions, as was the case
with the graduates of the first
camps, will be in the officers reserve
corps or the National Army. On the
eligible list will be placed men who
are above the legal age for commits
sion in the reserve corps at the
rank of which their showing at the
camps entitled them. AS there is
no provision for an inactive National
Army commission, they will be put
on an eligible list and commission
ed in the National Army when need
ed. 1t is expected there will be
only small number of such men.
Not all of the men commissioned
when the camps close will be called
to service Immediately. In fact. il
was pointed out today that many OF
them, particularly the lieutenants
might not be called to active service
until the second 100000 men of the
National Army are organized.
Officers in charge of the camps
are selecting 1000 men between 81
and % years of age for commissions
as provisional second lieutenants il

tached to regular regiments for ad
ditional training and will be giver
