Phoenix: Prisoners at the city jail are accorded special privileges these days, privileges of short strolls about the city streets and long breathing spells in the fresh air, but they are always accompanied by attendants. This action has been taken by Police Chiet George O. BrisbOis as one of the means of preventing Spanish intiu- enza epidemic in the city jail, similar to the one which made its appearance in the county jail Realizing that sunlight and fresh air are necessary to health, orders were recently issued that all prisoners be taken from their cells at least once each day. The plan worked so satisfactorily that all pris- oners are now taken from their cells twice each day. And. incidentally. not a single case of illness that even re- sembles influenza has made it's ap- pearance in the jail.

birth of the father of our country
George Washington comes the
thought of what the first president
would do were he alive today

terity, his specific reference being to
nations across the seas. And now,
nearly lJ0 years after this word OF
admonition was spoken, his country

but SO enmcshcd that it has become

approval. Above everything else he
believed to his last drop of blood in
Independence. Was it not that ideal
which led him to take up the sword
against England and to continue
flghting, even through Valley Forge,
although at any time he could have
secured peace which would have
granted all save independence to the
colonists? It was in a war of princi.
pie and for the loftiest Of principles
that Washington bravcd every known

BUSINESS AND WAR

Despite the overshadowing de-
mands of war. both England and
France have strained every nerve,
and not without success, to maintain
the stability of private business dur
ing the period of turmoil, recognizing
that the process of reconstruction at
its end would thus be rendered the
easier.
In the last analysis, it has been a
case of adaptability as to whether or
not a particular enterprise survives
wars drains. In meeting this situa-
ton, many shops have departed
somewhat from their original nature,
but have still maintained at least a
semblance of what they were prior to
1914.
The period of readjustment is just
starting in this country. The first war
frenzy has swept over us and con
dition nearer normal now obtains
than ever before since April s, 1871
What business man is there who has
not debated the future of his concern
and planned in his mind what he
stretch over IA period not now thought
probable? A definite plan of action
has already been evolved by all who
are worthy of their title.
In the days of struggle, strife and
comparative disorganization which
appear to be just ahead of America,
the future OF private business de.
pends much upon its being kept prom
inent before the public gaze. That
merchant who because of the income
or excess profits taxes, would re-
trench to the extent of relying mere.

tably 20 under 1t is more essential
that business keep pace with the
times that ever before.
There is no gloomy outlook for bus
mess America is the worlds tinan-
cial center. Her industries are Oper-
ating under less trying circumstances
than many abroad. There is plenty
of money, not all of which has been
invested in the war. People are not
buying carelcssly, but they are buy
ing with the idea of securing their
full dollars worth. Nowhere is there
note of depression such as existed
in 1907.
With this condition facing him, let
the merchant constantly keep before
the public what he has to offer He
has adjusted these offerings TO war
times and knows OF their value, but
how is the public, buster than ever
before with war activities, to know?
Many Il business has been literally
made through advertising. Many a
business has been kept from falling
through this medium. At period
when people are striving more than
ever to make each penny count, the
value of advertising increases tre-
mendOusly. This Is too important n
factor in surviving the war to be
passed by. It should be cultivated
and cultivated Systematically, scicn-
tiically and effectively. Its results
are positive.

ALL-DAY SESSION TO
CONSIDER CANDIDATES
Agent-Elect Has Made Good

sherman J.. Anderson is the man
committee of the Knox county farm
bureau for the first county agent. fol
lowing long and careful consideration
OF the needs of Knox county and the
qualifications of the three candidates
for the position whom had been
named by the agricultural college of
Ohio State university as measuring
up to the best among agents available
for appointment
The appointment of Mr.. Anderson
was made late Friday afternoon after
the men representing the farm bu-
reau had personally interviewed each
al plicant thoroughly and carefully
weighed each mans qualifications
with view to selecting the man best
suited for the work in this county
Three ballots were taken before
the committee finally elected man
and upon the third the vote was al
most unanimous in favor of Mr.. An
dcrson. Little other business was
transacted at the meeting as the com
mittee plans to hold another at the
court house at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning, at which time Mr.. Ander-
son will be present again to consult
with the committee
SEED CORN COMES FIRST
1t was indicated at the meeting Fri
day that probably the most important
farm problems confronting the agri.
culturists of this county at the pres
cnt time and the ones needing atten-
tion first are those of securing good
seed corn, treating seed oats for smut
and potatoes that are to be planted,
/ for scab, II Is probable that the new
agent will find this work the first he
will be required to lend his assistance
| to.
Mr. Anderson was born on farm
and lived there until he was s years
of age, after which he taught school
for three years and then entered the
agricultural college at o. S. T., com-
| plcting part Of the course and then
going to the estate of o. c. Barber,
match magnate, near BarbcrtOn, to
earn enough to enable him to com
plcte his course. Starting in as a lab
orer at the Barber farm, which is n
large one and employs many men, he
worked first at one branch of the
work and then another until before
the year and half he spent there
had been completed he had been ad-
vanccd to the position OF assistant
superintendent. He was graduated
from the agricultural college in 1916
and since that time has been engaged
in practical farm work
HAS WIDE EXPERIENCE
Mr.. Anderson is married and has
one child, an infant lie is 80 years
of age. In addition to his having a
pleasing personality the board was
impressed with the diversity of his
farm experience and felt that in all
probability he was the best fitted of
the three men to undertake the dill.
cult task of giving his assistance to
farmers in a community where the in.
dustry is SO diversified as in Knox
county Following his interview with
the committee Friday afternoon, Mr.,
Anderson went to Mansfield to visit
his parents, who live on n farm near
that city.

PEACE AND WAR

With the resumption of military ac-
tivitics on the battlefronts it may be
assumed that the remarkable diplo.
matte activities of the past few
months which have taken the form
of three international speeches by
President Wilson, two by Lloyd.
George, one by King George of Eng
land and replies in turn by Count Won
Iertling and Count Czernin, will pass
temporarily into the discard.
1t is well, then, before the zing of
the machine.guns and the swish Of
the Marias and seventy-iives charge
the air and preclude practically all
thoughts save those of blood and iron,

as to the progress which has been

When American troops in France

behind all their efforts a definite war

and democracy Whatever the war

secret ambitions may have been the

the struggle has become ethical, as

AS it relates to thom, Is no different
from the ciyil or the revolutionary
wars.
One year ago chaos existed as far
as war aims We're concerned. But, in
cXtenuatiOn, then was not the time
to consider aims as far as the allies
tions were at stake and must be
saved at all hazard Now, however,
there is a precise understanding as
to the war, an exact conception as to
why it is proceeding. This has come
about through Woodrow Wilson who,
in exchange for the assistance which
forced complete subordination of all
aims or ambitions which could not
submit to the refining test of iptcrna'
tional principle
But the armies which face each
other are even farther advanced than

and far-dtstant state. Today, it is as
suming somewhat concrete form.
OF what it must consist is common
knowledge Four broad principles
have been defined by President VIII

proposals. Although one of our on

fourteen proposals, the other has ST

On the eve of what will probably
be the most slupcndous struggle of
the war, 1t Is evident then that peace
is nearer than at any time during the
preceding three years and a half, But
after all and despite the fact that this
international exchange of opinion has
probably shortened the struggle by
months, the war actually hinges on
the unComiug battle. If the allied
lines are advanced or even stand
firm, the four WilsOnian principles
and the fourteen Wilsonuu aims
must become the subject of hasty and
active consideration by the enemy.
