The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
oially loves peace. Since the dawn OF
history. the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
he possesses lies out Of doors in plain
sight and is spoil OF war-his house.
his grain, his livestock. The flames
that light the skies in the rear Of
every invading army are consuming
the things that yesterday represented
his life work, and the life labors OF
past generations OF farmers.
Everywhere the farmer is a warrior
when war is the only thing which will
make and keep him free. He cannot
rally TO the colors as quickly as can
the dwellers In the cities, because 1t
takes longer 10 send to the farms the
call TO arms. II takes longer to call
the farmers from the fields than the
city dwellers from the shops. Many
do not hear the first blast OF the
trumpet. Others do not at first under
stand Its meaning because they have
not had the time to talk the matter
over with their aoqualntanOes. Instead
OF reading half a dozen extras day,
the farmer may read weekly papers
only. He must have more time In a
sudden emergency TO make up his
mind.
IL is impossible to set the farmers
Of the United States on fire by means
of any sudden spark Of rumor. But
when they do ignite, they burn with
a slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In a long
fight they are always found sturdily
carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land In the last grim struggle. The
American farmer will give all that he
has and all that he iS to win this
great war against war.
This war was at first hard to under
stand. No armed foe had invaded the
United States. The night skies were
not Redeemed by burning ricks and
farm houses. No raiding parties
robbed us of our cattle or horses. No
saberrattlers insulted our women. 1t
seemed to many of us that we were
not at war-the thing was so far off.
We did not realize what giant war
had become-a monster with a thou
sand arms that could reach across the
seas and take from us three-fourths of
everything we grew. But finally we
saw that 1t was SO.
If the Imperial German government |
had made and enforced an order that
no American farmer should leave his |
This is the first Of three articles. TIL

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick

I own land. haul grain OF drive stock
TO town, II would have done only a
little more than 1t accomplished by
its interdlct against the freedom OF the
sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went In
TO this war? Look at the condition OF
the American farmer In the latter
part Of 1914 and the first half OF 1915
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic wa partially gave
up for a while the use OF the sea as
a highway. And the farmers Of
America faced ruin. / know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop of 25.-
600 bushels Of wheat for seventy cents
a bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost OF pro-
ducing II. All this time those por-
tions Of the world whose ports we're
open were ready to pay almost any
price for our products. When finally
we set our ships in motion once more,
prosperity returned to the farms But
1t never returned for the farmers OF
those nations which remained out off
from ocean traffic.
Take the case Of Australia. There
three crops have remained unsold on
the farms. No ships could be spared
to make the long voyage TO Australia.
SO in spite Of the efforts Of the gov
ernment to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted In the open.
Millions Of tons have been lost for
lack Of market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break Of the war until now II our
government had not first resisted with
every diplomatic weapon, and finally
drawn the sword
Why did we draw the sword? To
keep up the price Of wheat and cot
ton, and to protect trade only? II
someone should order you to remain
on your farm, and not to use the pub
lie highways, would your resistance
be based only on the fear Of loss in
profits from failure to market your
crops? By no means! You would fight
to the last gasp! Not to make money,
but to be free!
When a man is enslaved, all he |
loses in money is his wages. But the |
white man has never been able to ac-
cept slavery. He has never yet been
enslaved. There rises up |
in him against seFvitude resentment
SO terrible that death always is
preferable.

Mr.. Joseph Pax:
Dear Sir-Your 1918 contract for canning veg
etables has been received. You are one of the
forty or more parties that have yearly grown for
the factory.
The yearly customers are the parties that
never fail uu1ess it be a very uncommon season
like last year. Your 1916 check for tomatoes was
two hundred ffty-one dollars from the three acres
reported. Our price this year for the same toma-
toes would make the amount four hundred sixty
nine dollars. Quite difference.
Our seed for use is here.

Dear Sir-You are not sowing as many peas
this coming year usual, but the tomatoes
about the same.
You have the best of ground unless it floods,
and when the weeds are kept out bouncing crop
is the result.
You have hauled to over seventeen tons per
acre, and at this years price would be over two
hundred fifty dollars.
We want you to reach that high mark this
!, year on each of the eight acres. Mr.. Johnsman,
west of Ceina also Mr.. Carl Smith and few
other hauled nineteen tons per acre, which was
high water line and at the price of to-day would
bring two hundred eighty tive dollars.
We look forward to good season.

REPORT FRED GLEN
 NOT LEFT COUNTRY
YOUNG MAN WHO FAILED re ANSWER DRAFT CALL IS SAID
 TO es IN THIS COUNTY.
Federal Officers Will Be the Next to Take Up the Subject With Every Indication That He Win Be Cap. tured Soon.

Persistent reports that Fred Glen
 who failed to answer the call some two months ago, was still within this county, have caused the matter to again be reported to Adiutant General Lloyd Englands office, for rhe next step to be taken from that point.
 Young Glens failure to show mp in answer to the call was rather a sur prise Co the local board He had come in for his examination, and was answering all demands the same as other young men in the call Finally the order was made for the boys to come at certain date and take the train for Little Rock and enter the cantonment
 Glen's parents report that the day before ne was 10 answer to the local board he told his parents he was com ing, and that he did leave. It was said that he came to the city, and stopped that ni9ht in a wagon yard. and the next morning it was expected that he would report, but he did not do so The board thought that he would be at the evening train, but he did not show up there. and then they thought perhaps that he had mistaken the or der and gone on some other train, but later it developed that for some req son or other he had never answered the call
 There were some reports of his having been seen in tho vicinity of his home soon after he disappeared, but these were denied The local board has no further interest in the case after the failure of a man to report and after its report is submitted to the adiutant general The govern ment, no doubt, has been too busy to give much attention to the Glen case. but if the young man is in that neighhorhood. his presence there is successfully defeating the purpose Of the first can is reported to have a bad effect on the response to this latter call, and it is anticipated that the government now win take steps to find him
 There is said to he a similar case in the same vicinity. but over the Saline county line, whore a young man set out to resist reeistratiou, and lid SC. It is reported that he weighed lS0 pounds when he decided to take q high power rifle and go to the woods In defiance of Uncle Sam, and that now he weighs bat about 20 pounds and presents a rather unfortunate picture when he is seen, with his light weight and still carrying his rifle about with him expecting any minute 10 be approached and either have to use it or 10 be taken

Same Movement Is la Progress in All Sections Of Country With a View of Relieving the Railroad Situation.

The cooperation of the Business Mems League, and through that body the merchants, here, and the coop eration also in all cities of conner. cial organizations and business men, Is asked in the freight moving week which anticipates that this week every available freight car shall be released to take care of the stress of business
 The railroads entering this city have had cooperation, but if there is anything else that can be done it should be done promptly In order that the general plan shall be car rled out everywhere, and therefore every available car put into active service. the following rules for ship pers and for receivers of freight, and also for railroad employees, have been issued
 For attention of shippers and re- ceivers of freight;
 l. Order cars only when ready to load and order no more than daily capacity requires.
 2. Have freight ready to load when car is placed, and SO load as to pre- vent damage in transit and to permit prompJ unloading
 9. Give billing instructions to agent before loading is completed.
 1. Make direct shipment to final constance.
 ,. Load cars to maximum cubical )r carrying capacity.
 6. Anticipate disposition of freight before it's arrival and present 'Bill of E.ading" to agent before ear is due to arrive.
 '. Give preferred attention to prompt release of cars, working over time if necessary to finish unloading, SO cars may be immediately returned for another load.

 9 Expedite car movements through yards and terminals, prescribing spe- clal movements when considered ad- visa5le to eliminate unnecessary de- tention Of ears.
 ,. Closely observe embargoes 10 avoid congestion and delay The i'm portance of keeping yards and ter- minals clear of slow moving accumu- lations cannot be over estimated.
