he can not shirk. America must ship

be devoted to bread grains. do your

Aid Farmera

When q business concern wants to
borrow money It makes a business
statement showing the inventory-or
money invested at the beginning and
end Of the year-the money taken In
during the year. the expenses and the
profits. With this statement q banker
knows whether or not 1t Is safe to
loan money to this company-in other
words, whether the company has a
good chance Of securing profitable re-
turns from a further investment In
their business. A company with q
good business, as shown by such q
statement, usually has good credit
and can borrow money cheaply.
There ate many farmers In this
country who keep records Of what
they have on hand at the beginning
and end Of the year and Of what they
take in and what they spend. These
men can borrow money more easily
and cheaply than most farmers be
cause they have tho figures to show
the banker.
But before 4 farmer borrows any
money he should have very clearly II
mind what be wants to use It for
and be very sure that In the end J
will pay him to borrow.

RED CROSS PIG CLUB

The county agent In Carroll
county, Mississippi, started out
last winter to combine pork pro-
duction and Red Cross work.
He tried to get $500 people
each to raise one pig to be
known MS a Red Cross pig. In
stead Of $500 members, he got
5000 in a county that has only
1900 voters. In September
the club members are to send
5000 hogs to the st. Louis mar
ket. This will mean a contri-
button estimated at $4,000 to
the Red Cross, in addition to
. more pork for the country and
more money for Carroll county.
A $25 registered pig Is given
each month as a prize to the
, member whose pig has made
the greatest gain.

Every county agent Is required to
know and observe that his services be-
long to all the people In his county,
| but 1t Is evident that none OF his time
can be given to work that does not
concern agricultural development. He
is placed in the county to stimulate
good farming. Therefore, he must con.
fine himself to work IN definite prob

sary for him, to u~tilizeethe aid Of COM

extent and It Is within his duties ia
impress upon the town people how
vital their interest and help is to the

Election arises that In the last two
generations we have become much
less independent of others than form

rather effeminate in the ancient mean

Times have changed since a Unit

boots and at home MIXED his cows
night and morning. Times have
changed since people did their own
marketing and carried their goods
home in baskets, since to walk two
or three miles to school, or work, was
accounted no hardship at all, and
when not l per cent of the homes in
this country contained a servant.

nounced. News to this effect filtered
beyond the empires borders today
after it had been suppressed for near
ly a week.
1t shows that the opposition of the
masses to the "camoufagcd" annex
alton clause, which is the one stumb-
ling block to peace with Russia, has
invaded the two greatest strongholds
of the militarists, the capital itself
and the city where the Krupps have
their great war-feeding factories, en-
ploying more than 100000 men. Es-
sen lies in the heart of one of Ger
many's greatest industrial districts.
Leipzig is the largest city in Saxony
and the fourth city IN size in the Ger
man Empire. Its population is nearly
100000. 1t is an important manufac-
turing center.

The third name appears this week
in The Times announcement column
as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for County Collector
that OF Amos c. Norwine, of Bonne
Terre. Mr.. Norwine is 46 years old,
was reared in st. Francois county,
where he has spent his entire life
since maturity in business, and con-
sequently is acquainted with very
large portion of the citizens of this
county. For years he was connected
with the Norwine Dry Goods Co.,
from which he retired about three
years ago in order to give his entire
time to the automobile business, in
which he has been very successful. In
fact he has always been successful in
business, and is known as a high
class gentleman, with whom it is a
pleasure to do business. While he has
always been an active, working Dem
ocrat, this is his first appearance in
the list as a candidate for office.
Should he secure the Democratic NOM
ination, his election will not only be
assured, but his name on the ticket
will prove to be an asset.

hand, they have rot greeted with any
degree of enthusiasm Lloyd Georges
statement on war aims. Though re-
garding it as "a step further" they
take the stand that England endorses
the antianneXation and self -determin-
alton formula only where it is advan-
tageous to Germany. Especially re-
garding Alsace-Lorraine are they un-
compromising.
An infinitely stronger impression
will be made, it is expected, by Pres
ident Wilson's speech.
TO Disrupt Russian Entity.
Of the Brest-Litovsk negotiations,
no details had come up early this eve-
ming. The Central Powers delega-
tions, it was reported, are dealing
first with the Bolsheviki and then
with the Ukranians. This bears out
the information transmitted in these
dispatches ten days ago that one of
the Central Powers objects is to fur
ther the disruption of the Russian ma
tional entity by encouraging the sep
aration movements with the view to
dealing with Sthe new independent
states one by one.
In a message to the Polish Re-
gency Council, the Kaiser today re-
ferred to himself as "the champion
and protector of the veal of humani-
ty and peaceable cooperation of peo-
pies for thirty years."
