The farmer everywhere loves
peace. The American farmer espe-
ciAlly 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 10 spoil Of war-his house,
This grim. his livestock. The names
that light the skies in the rear OF
every invading army are consuming
tie 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 jewellers in the cities, because it
takes longer to send to the farms the
call to arms. 1t. 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 acquaintance. 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.
1t 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
o slow, hot fire which nothing can put
out. They are sometimes the last to
heat up; but they stay hot. In 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
saber-rattlers insulted our women. II

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad,
Ohio: The editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when q
Young gentleman came to his Office
and asked for copy of the MORO !.
County Republican. He scrutinized
it carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: "Now 1 know.''
What is it you are looking for" we
inquired. ''My wife sent me after
bottle of Chamberlain's Cougn
Remedy, and forgot the name. /
went to several stores and the clerk
named over everything on the shelf
except "Chamberlain's''. I'll try
again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain's Cough Remedy /"
The Republican would suggest to the
proprietors of drug stores, that thev
post their clerks, and never let their,
substitute. Custimers lose faith in
stores where substituting is permitted
to say nothing of the injustice to the
makers of good goods and the disap.
pointment of customers.

To The People of Every City and
Town in Kentucky:
Mr.. Herbert c. Hoover, the United
States Food Administrator, is plead
ing for aid from the people of the
cities and towns. The need for an in
creased production of food-stuffs is
imperative, not only to help our allies
but to serve our own American boys
from needless sacrifice and suffering
At Mr.. Hoover'S request, Mr.. f.
NJ. Sackett, u: S. Food Administrator
for Kentucky, has appointed War
Garden Division, with instructionst to
urge every patriotic man, woman and
child in the State to join in the
nationwide campaign to put under
cultivation the land lying idle in,
and adjacent to, cities and towns
Mr.. Hoover very strongly emphasizes
the necessity of raising beans, pota-
toes and other vegetables that will
keep during the coming winter when
food at any price will be scarce.
Our own soldiers in France cannot
hold their sectors if the fighting
lines of the British and French can
not hold theirs. They must all win,
or all be crushed Our allies are in
great need of food. For over three
years they have been fighting our
battle. Shall we let them fail?
Shall the American soldier be over

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick

own land, haul grain or drive STOCK
to town. It would have done only q
little more than it accomplished Dy
its interdict against the freedom OF the
sea. What was the order against
which we rebelled when we went In
to this war? Look 1t the c0adip0n OF
the American farmer in the letter
part of 1914 and the first half fs1S1s
and see.
When the war broke out, through
surprise and panic we partially gave
up for a while the use Of the sea as
q highway. And the farmers Of
America faced ruin. l know an Iowa
farmer who sold his 1914 crop OF Is,
600 bushels of wheat for seventy cents
bushel. Farmers in the south sold
their cotton for half the cost of pro
ducing it. All this time those pOr-
lions of the world whose ports were
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
it never returned for the farmers OF
those nations which remained cut OH
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.
eminent to save the farmers from
ruin, grain has rotted in the open.
Millions of tons have been lost for
lack of q market.
Such conditions spell irretrievable
disaster. Such conditions would have
prevailed in this country from the out
break of the war until now if 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 &C.
cept slavery. He has never yet been
successfully enslaved. There rises up
in him against servitude resentment
so terrible that death always is
preferable.

Garden, producing food.

land should be turned into War
Garden, producing food
Mr.. Hoover is authority for the
statement that the food situation Of
the world must steadily degenerate as
long as the war lasts; that further
more, our Over-taXed railroads, which
will continue to be overtaxed during
the whole course of the war, will be
greatly relieved if we have larger
area of gardens planted.
Every community, large or small,
that makes itself self-sustaining and
Independent of supplies that have in
the past been delivered by the rail
roads, will be helping by just that
much to relieve the congestion of
traffic and clear the road to rush
supplies to the front
1t can not be too strongly urged
that unless the people of the cities
and towns raise more beans, potatoes
and other winter crops that will take
that place of bread, the shortage of
food supplies next winter will bring
about a. very serious situation.
Last year, by reason of the over
whelming amount of work that de-
Volved upon the Food Administration,
the War Garden Work was not thor
oughly organized, nor was the need
for it given sufficiently wide public.
ity. But, notwithstanding these Sc
rious handicaps, Mr.. Hoover feels
that the War Garden Movement of
1917 played an important part in
saving the country from positive
shortage.
1t must, therefore, stand clear
that your individual efforts and &C.
tivity in bringing about production
of food crops upon idle land, is in
deed most important factor directly
affecting the welfare of our military
status, and, in so doing, you are lend
ing patriotic effort to the cause as
distinctively as are the men under
arms.
This is a real, and an urgent, call
to the cOlors-a challenge for you to

Washington. But several gentlemen

they tossed roses and carnations to
