Nice N ention.

We notice in the Marion coLn-
ty papers where Hon. Leslie R.
Darr has announced his inten-
tions to make the race for state
Senator subject to the action of
the Democratic party. AS this
is Marion county's time to have a
state Senator, we don't think
they could choose a better repre-
sentative than Leslie r. Darr, as
he is a true blne Democrat, be-
sides being loved by the entire
citizenship Of Marion county for
his good qualities. We are for
you, Leslie, tooth and toe nail

Will The American Farmer
Kill The Kaiser's Wolf Famine

Farm Service Bureau, Atlanta, Ga.
dependent upon this country, a full
ration. At best there is going to be
lack. The American farmer must
awaken to a serious realization that
this is no small task, in fact, it is
only fighting chance.
If the American farmer will only
realize this, then he must recognize
that every blow he makes must count
for the utmost Maximum yields
must be striven for as never before
This is no time to leave anything
unemphasized that will count for
greater yields. Efficiency must oper-
ate with every act on the farm from
breaking the soil deeply to garnering
the crops with a saving hand.
Thorough preparation of the seed
bed may be accomplished with less
labor than is customary, by the use
of labor saving farm machinery.
Liberal and rational applications Of
plant food should be made this year.
Farmers who never used CONNER
cial fertilizers before should certain
ly do so now for the nations sake.
The same modern, labor saving
farm machinery that will enable a
farm hand to plow two rows while
plowing one heretofore-and plow
them better-must be made use of.
It's a hard fight all spring, summer
and fall for the American farmer.
viii he win?

The farmer can win this war.
Only by famine does the Kaiser hope
to conquer-famine by force Of the sub
marine. If the submarine brings Eng
land and France to their knees, beg
ging bread in the humiliation Of de-
feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon
the United States.
England and France can be saved
from famine by the farmers of the
United States and Canada in spite OF
the submarine, If they will. The sub
marine will sink food that England
and France SO sorely needs but the
submarine can not sink enough to
starve our allies, if the farmer of the
United States will raise maximum
crops, raise every pound and save ev-
cry pound of foods he possibly can.
It's a fight, therefore, between the
farmer of the United States on the
one hand and De gaunt wolf of the
Kaiser, famine, on the other hand,
If the American farmer can raise
enough to allow for the submarine
toll and enough more food to place
"over there" to feed those who are
fighting, then victory is ours
But it's narrow margin. The
whole world is on the verge of star
walton. If even a normal crop is pro-
duced in this country it is not going
10 afford enough to feed everybody

BOY SCOUTS
FIGHT FIRE

Jasper. March 5.-On Sunday
night, March 3, the Boy Scouts
of Troop No. :, of Jasper, were
notified that two of their brother
scouts were battling with forest
fire, trying to save their fence
and orchard. Being Boy Scouts
and always prepared they imme-
diately responded after the Chris
tian Endeavor meeting. They
formed a line for their march,
and in 20 minutes were on the FIR
ing line.
The fire had almost surrounded
the orchard, making the line of
fire about one mile long. They
took for their weapons pine
brush and forked sticks, and
with an inspiration like that of
eur soldiers in France, they
cheerfully met their foe. Some
times it was seemingly almost
impossible to put down those high
leaping and roaring Flames, but
bravely the fight went on.
After extinguishing the fire
around the orchard, it was decid-
ed by the boys that the continued
ed line over the mountain by sum-
mertown and down into Pryor
Cove Valley. should also be ex-
tinguished. A new supply of
weapons were brought on and
the fight was resumed. After
five hours of struggling about a
five mile line of fire was totally
extinguished, and the tired but
cheerful boys returned to their
homes.

After the road out of Anchorage to Fairbanks is completed the road to the interior by way of Valdez and the way via Cordova will be abandon ed." said an Anchorage booster in a recent interview with Seattle pub lication. Wherein the gentleman was wrong. Persons coming out of the in terior will do as they do now, tired of paying exhorbitant prices for transportation will walk over the trail. When man can make $5 to $10 per day walking. with the savings of several days time, he will not go sev- eral hundred miles out of his way to get either to Anchorage or Seward. A man can leave the boat here and be in Fairbanks by auto and nearly by foot before he can reach Seward or Anchorage by steamer, with the long railway trip still ahead of him. The trains on the government road are scheduled as making from 4.5 to 10 miles an hour. according to the rail- road bulletin issued, and many of our old timers can mush that fast, with out pulling train of cars or ca boose behind. The trail will always be popular on account of being the quickest and most direct route to the interior, and all efforts of our west ern competitor to have it abandoned will be in vain.

FOOD OBSERVATIONS
 MEET SATURDAY EVE

A meeting of the food conservation committee was held in the office of Chairman Arthur Lang. Saturday ev- ening at 4:3O o'clock with all mem bers of the committee present. Chair man Lang read a telegram from Ter ritorial Commissioner Gunnison ask ing what progress was being made in regard to food saving in Valdez. An inventory of the restaurants revealed the fact that the meatless day saved 125 pounds of meat each week in the city. After some discussion it was agreed to make Wednesday a wheat less day and Friday a meatless day for Valdez. The restaurants also agreed to cut down their sugar SUD- ply to patrons, serving individual DOT tions at meals instead of placing the sugar in bowls with an invitation to patrons to vast more or less of the needed staple. The members of the committee universally agreed that ev- cry person ih the city was saving all they could, but believed that if atten- tion was called to ways in which fur ther savings could be effected that our citizens would cheerfully fall in line. The cards and posters shipped to chairman Lang failed to arrive on the Alameda, so the committee is great ly handicapped fin securing signatures. The members of the committee are Arthur Lang, Chearman. R. Domain Nichols, secretary, Mayor James Pat terson. E. E. Ritchie. T. G. Quinn, w. N. Cuddy, pr. J. A. Silverman and H. B. Selby.

Where Cyclones Originate.

The most violent cyclones originate in tropical attitudes. In the Atlantic ocean to the north and east of. West Indian islands. and in the Pacific. in the China sea and In the neighborhoOd of the Philippine islands. .,
 The reason they are so destructive Is because they are carried such great distances by txtraneous influences. The West Indian cyclones are attracted toward the Gulf stream by the great volume of heated air which always hangs over 1t and follows It's course !; so the cyclones of the Pacific follow the course of KurO SiwO, the great oceanic current which passes around the East Indian archipelago, the shores of China and the Japanese islands.
 Cyclones may be anywhere from 50 to 800 miles in diameter and may travel over path 5000 miles in ex- tent.

Animal, Stepping on Platform, Opens
 valvss Which Allowa Fresh, Cold r~" Stream to Pour 'lh:

A trough hns been invented which can gauge the amount of water an ani- maj drinks. There is platform which works in conjunction with valves on the supply and drain pipes of the trough. When an animal steps on the platform the valves are opened and stream of watpr polrs in. As he stakes his thirst and steps off the platform the inlet Is closed and the surplus wa ter Is drained off.
 The valve mechanism of this device Is mounted In a concrete well in the ground. The valve of the supply pipe and the valve of the drain pipe are mounted side by side, and the stems of both valves fit into single operating lever. Hinged nbove this mechanism at the level of the ground is the plat forth. The front end of the platform Is raised slightly ny pair of springs md is connected with the lever of the valves. The water trough lies just in front of the platforIn.
 As sOOn asan animal walks on the platform he presses the front end down and opens the valves of the trough pipes. The water gushes in at just the rate that he will drink. His thirst qnenched. he leaves the platform. the springs raise 1t up and close the valves. Very little water is wasted, ud the drink furnished the thirsty s.,irnal Ia as cool and fresh as that which is sup piled to the farmer and his men.
