WASHINGTON, Jan 1.-The one big thing in the National capital is the war. It comes pretty nearly being the whole thing. Little groups of Senators. of House memebrs, or lobbyists are interested in this thing or that. but it is difficult to get the interest to extend far unless it is connected in some way with war and how to make it shorter-and, of course. successful, because none thinks of any other way to shorten the war than through success, de cisive success.

There is no predatory lobby in Washington now In. the face of the great crisis which is giving America the most soinber holiday season in her history there are few. indeed. who have any desire to SID something over.

COW LOST HER "CUD."

The same old fallacy hobs up every

my COW? She has lost her cud." or
course the COW has not lost her cud
for the reason that she never had
one to lose. She has many cuds, but
they are only ner food which she is
chewing over again.
When the writer was boy on the
farm cows sometimes "lost their

ferably dish rag, was stuffed down
the cows throat, and sure enough,
sometimes the old COW would 20 to
chewing again. Failure to "chcw the
cud" is due to Indigestion, and
change of feed. or cutting down
amount of feed for a day or so, will
start that mysterious mech

WHITE AND YELLOW CORN.

~ visitor to this Office Il few days
ago, examining samples of cprn
shown ON our desk remarked, that he
liked yellow corn better than white,
for the reason that "yellow earn is
stronger" he said, "will fattcn hogs
and other stock better than white
corn will" This seems to be IL gem
cral opinion among farmers, but not
founded upon facts. Tests in Expert
mcnt stations have shown repeatedly,
that there is little if any difference
Yellow corn may contain more oil
than some white varieties, and some
white varities more oil than some
yellow varities, but not due TO the
color of the grain, so the knowing
ones say.

NO WINTER YET.

Certainly the weather of the fall
and first winter month of 1918. has
been the most remarkable and I'M
usual within the memory of the
oldest inhabitant of this section.
UP to this good day, December
10th. there has been no snow to
amount to anything, and only about
three mornings on which there was
any ice, and this no thicker than a
knife blade. Only Il few DAYS and
nights have been cold enough to
allow butchering of meat. The grass
is still green in many fields, and very
little feeding of cattle has been ne
cessary. The weather man has been
specially considerate to users of coal.
and to the poor, whose supply of
clothing is not abundant. The wheat
fields never looked more promising.
Certainly this has been a remarkable
fall, so far as the weather is con
cerned. And, then, too the war has
ended, the great peace conference is
beginning, SO everything is alright,
both above and below.

testimony that in the handling of this
measure he showed n clear and re-
markablc grasp of the problem in
volved, that he fought steadily
against the inclusion of meritricious
features in the act, and displayed a
notable courage and tenacity of pur
pose throughout the long discussion.

Of the very ends for which the Fed

the reserve system would, almost
with its full formation, be made n
vast engine for credit imitation, with
the inevitable attendant effects upon

PRUSSIANISM IN CHILE.

There is trouble brewing, or al
ready brewrd, between Peru and her
ncighbor, Chile, chiefly, over the rich
nitrate and guano deposits of Peru.
The truth seems to be, that Chile is
following the lead of Germany in the
Alsace-Lorrane steals, and because
she can has compelled Peru ana
Bolivia to give up rich strips of ter
ritory.
The trouble is not over by a good
deal, and is likely to grow rather
than subside. AS every other country
IN the world has been in the "mel-
ting pot" except South America. il
may be that this trouble in Chile is
the beginning of that great countrys
regeneration. Who knows?
The day of oppression of weak
nations by stronger ones, has PASSED
or is rapidly passing. Chile has :,
small but we'll organized army, train
cd by German officers. and has
several battleships, and is able there
ford to lord ii over the little BEL
GUM" province OF Peru. The outside
nations are in no humor now to tole
rate such proceedings. and Chile had
best cut her notchcs straight.
