Farm Bureau Notes
BY Sam Jordan

presume there are TWO causes
for this small attendance. First,
the prevalence of sickness and
the other that | sent the notice
too far ahead of the time and
the meeting was forgotten.
Some matters of Importance
were talked over and it was de-
cided to call another meeting
Wednesday, November 9th.
1t was illustrated by two or
three yesterday how'the Bureau
can be of greater service to
Live Stock Breeders thru the
plan suggested and it might be
interesting to know it, thru
what we termed the Bureau Ex-
change, we have placed approx
imately $25, 600 of farm products.
This exchange feature can be of
value but it must depend on the
farmers for information as to
what they have to sell or what
they want to buy.
Northern Potatoes.
There was a good potato crop
in the north west, both in quan-
tity and quality. Potatoes are
very reasonable in price and
this county is short on the
"Heme Grown Stock" Farmers
should busy themselves aud Sc
cure their potatoes before cold
weather comes and it should be
done thru the dealer or thru
Farm Clubs.
The Single Tax Amendment.
There are before the voters of
Missouri amendments known as
Sir -le Tax Amendments" and
y smestead Loan Measure.
The Single Tax idea is perhaps
so we'll known to the farmers of
the country that the name alone
condemns it. Everyone should
be on guard and know how he is
voting on this matter since the
idea is to load all taxation on the
land owner.
The Liberty Loan.
Our great president has spok-
en- the final word. Whether it
means that the end is in sight or
not will surely be determined in
a few days. If the war should
stop we are still in just as great
need of putting over the "Liber-
ty Loan" as if the war should
continue. The people who are
responsible for this greatest of
all disasters must be forever
crushed. We are under just as
great obligation to do our level
best as if the war was to contin-
ue for ten years. This Loan,
more than any other one is mark
ing the Americanism of every
man. Word still comes that a
few in this county, who are amp
ly able to do their honest part
are net doing it. These people
should be branded as PRO Ger
mans" aiding in this hour the
German nation and are at heart
enemies of our splendid boys
who are laying their lives on the
alter OF freedom. These same
people have been making more
money because of the war than
they have ever made id any 9TH
er equal period of time and every
dollar that they are making above
the income of peace times is a
dollar that is costing somebody's
life. The people who are not do
ing their duty at this perilous
time should be forever ouIcasts
from society and should be look
ed upon as enemies to this coun-
try. These names should be
made known so the entire public
willunderstand and govern them
selves accordingly. So in this !
hour of peril lets not be known
and branded as ''slimy slackers. /"

Every indication points to the fact that Me Germans
have been masters Of the war lies--indeed, masters par
excellence. and that their propaganda Of this Kind has
been predicated upon the view that the end justifies the
means. The history of the German war lie is an impos-
ing and interesting one and even. In small American COM
munities the monster has let its ugly head been seen with;
the result that much worry and much needless sorrow
has been caused.
Undoubtedly this type OF propaganda will continue
for some time to come. The lie is as effective a. weapon
as ammunition fired in the field, and as the acredulity Of
the masses in general is amazing, 1t is comparatively easy
to make the lying story appear like a true and '.honest
to goodness-cross me heart story which, carried from
newspaper to newspaper, from store to store, does its
work unfailingly and effectively if not detected and rem
dered harmless in time. ~
In Germany the war lie has been manufactured on
the basis of large-scale production. 1t has been double
edged. for it was aimed at both the population at home
and neutral and enemy countries. Time and again it
was deemed expedient to tell the German nation absolute
untruths concerning the progress Of the war, and as often
the war lie was found useful in impressing enemies and
neutrals with supposed facts which were aimed at chang
ing certain sentiment in favor of German policy.
At the present time it is a little difficult to see of
what service the war lie can be in Germany. That it will
persist in gossip in the streets is to be expected, but that
newspa pefs will continue the connection and circulation
of the lie would seem but little consistent with the new
national attitude of Germany which above all necessnates
frankness, candor and above board honesty.

H LIES OF WAR

The announcement in the Weser Zeitung that Field
Marshal Foch had been murdered; that the British king
had abdicated, and that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Japan were approaching the breaking
point, is interesting as an example Of the expected fact
that the lies of the war were not destined to die with
the end of the war.
The falsehoods which have originated in the war
are, OF course, innumerable-in fact, there are SO many
OF them that already a French writer has compiled two
heavy volumes of war lies and attempted to analyze the
psychology behind them.
He cites as an interesting case the story casually
mentioned in Paris newspapers about two years ago that
the King OF Spain was a visitor in the French capital.
Inere was not an iota Of truth in the story, but it was
told among people for several days, and newspapers
subtly limited that "the presence Of a neutral monarch
IN this country may have some important bearing upon
the war" Attempts to ascertain the origin Of the story
We're in vain, but 1T was conceded that this rumor. like
every other rumor. had a certain end in view.
Asa matter of fact-most war lies are intended.
they do not Just happen. and are not merely an exI
preston Of popular mind. They all have a source. and
e e general rule, the author Of the war lie has had one
object In view.

London, Nov. 18.-By the terms Of

during the two decades just preceding

1900 on the German empire bent its
energies to command great power by
sea and the German Navy league be-
came the best advertised thing in
Germany.
The navy included Sol war vessels
of, all. classes in 1914, when the war
clouds broke. This strength must
have been largely increased during
the early years of the war when, par
ticularly in the submarine class, the
German yards began a fevered con-

Germany possessed at that time
twenty-one ~dreadnoughts, nineteen

about twenty submarines. She was
in the midst of a pretentious naval
program at this time.
The personnel Of the German navy
in 1914 numbered $4,000. The whole
