We are not in agreement with
those newspapers that take the
ground that Henry Ford will fail in
his effort to establish a national
weekly newspaper. Mr.. Ford. it
should be remember, has enough
money to bride people all over the
country to read his paper.

Organize Food Production

| SIkduAZC FOOu IOuuSttOu
The government, it is announced,
will soon give out program for an
organized movement to increase the
food supply.
The success won 10 the Liberty
Bond. Red Cross. and War Work
drives ought to teach US lot about
organizing food production. These
drives we're put over by going from
house to house and asking people
to give, the ground being well pre-
pared by newspaper advertising.
Now let the government handle
the food production in the same
way. Every farmer 10 the country
should be visited by some repre-
sentative of the local organization
of business men. Personal inter-
views will obtain cooperation from
many people where you would not
get it from agitation at public meet
ings
The organizations conducting
these canvasses should find out
from each mau what obstacles ex-
list that prevent him from raising
bigger crops. If it is lack of farm
machinery ard tools, arrangements
could be made in a great many
cases to share the use of such ma
chinery with neiehbors If a man
needs more capital for a legitimate
extension of his business, and if he
has good security, he should get the
funds. If he needs more labor, he
shonld be shown that the govern
ment employment services and
other agencies will care for his
needs.
Frequently the only thing stand
ing in the way of a bigger corp is
the conservatism characteristic of
many men. The hesitatine farmer
should be assured that the COM
munity stands back of him in the
effort to increase food production.
After that pledge is made. it should
be rigidly kept. and the farmer
should not be left in the lurch for
lack of needed equipment or labor
A nervy crook named Stewart
walked into a Kansas City bank
not long ago and handed in check
for $500 He was a stranger and
the name on the check was not the
name of anybody who had money
in the bank. Nevertheless, the teller
handed out the $500. Explaining
it to the court after his arrest Ste
wart said: Bold things always
succeeded, your Honor" Up to a
certain point they may, but Stewart
got five years in the Penitentiary.

Mothers who have had SONS killed

every reason to believe that even
the most saneuine expectation of
the most enthusiastic road advocate
will be realized
There has been no politics in the
Board. All the politics even re.
motely affecting the Department
has been the occasional inje, ton of
the word politics" in newspaper re-
ports. Our Board has always work
ed to secure the Co operation of all
the people in building system of
State Roads that will touch every
county in the State. To succeed,
this cooperation was necessary
Therefore we ask that you be not
influenced by inspired publications,
that you await the official report OF
the work of the Department, and
then form your own judgement.
We assure you that we have not
been lax; that we have built every
mile of road possible under the cir.
C umstances; have approved every
proposed road project, and that we
have properly and judiciously car
ried out the work outlined.

The best evidence that the ex.
Kaiser has not become entirely
harmless is the fact that the Dutch
government is still afraid of him.

And now it develops that Ger
many's vail for food is another
piece if deception. 1t is true that
the masses need more food but it
is also true that the army reserve
stores. when placed at the disposal
of the people, will give them food
enough to last till April AS part
OF the peace settlement. they should
be compelled to open these stores
at once. first, because the people
need them. and, second because
G ermany should be allowed to re-
tain no military stores

It was recently charged that a
Kirksville minister, who made
monthly visits to Moberly. was also
a monthly customer of the saloons
OF that city, giving as an excuse for
for his conduct that he was acting
on the advice of his physician. from
which it may appear that Moberly
DO ose is possessed of exceptional
medical properties

Advertising for Soul
Mates In Germany

Marital ardor has been supplanted
by martial zeal in Germany. This
evidenced by the advertising col
umns Of German newspapers received
here. Matrimonial ads cover whole
pages and are inserted by people of
all ages and walks Of life.
A peculiar feature of these adver-
tsements is that many make appeals
for husbands or wives for relatives.
Parents, brothers, sisters and even
friends Of those who seek mates invite
correspondence from those matrimon-
tally inclined War invalids, veal
thy physicians, manufacturers and
rich widows are among those who re-
sort to publicity.
One advertiser says he is a widow
er who has property amounting tc
several million marks. He admits
he is SIS years old, but says he ''look:
younger" A physician who has an
annual income of 100000 mark,
seeks to arrange meeting with "a
beautiful, stately woman, object mat
rimony.'
We think it will be waste of mon
ey for any of themto advertise ovel
here.

The announcement of the death
Of Mr.. J. H. Smith who died sudden
ly while returning from Lexington,

row to his many friends and relatives
Mr.. Smith had spent his entire life in
Garrard county and was kind and
upright man and will be greatly
missed from the community in which
he lived.
Hal he lived until the 18th of

Of age. He is survived by six chill
dren. John L. Craig, Mrs. Butler SUIT
Ton, Mrs. Lynn Clark, Mrs. Herman
Hoover, of Troy, Ohio and James H.
Smith, Jr., who is now in France,
serving in the American Expedition
airy Forces. Mr.. Smith was ever ready
to help his friends in time of need or
trouble and numbered his friends by
his acquaintance. Much sympathy
is extended to the bereaved family
in the loss Of their dear father, their
mother having died many years ago.
He is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall his memory fade.
Sweeter thoughts shall ever lnger
Around the grave where he is laid.

and Orus Wearren of Garrard coun-
ty, two sisters, Minnie Wearren Of
Louisville and Mrs. Rosa Peele, of
Illinois.
Mr.. Wearren was a well known
citizen Of Garrard county and MEM
Der of the Baptist church at Buckeye
His body was placed in the Lancaster
Cemetery. His many friends join
the bereaved ones in mourning his
loss. The burden is lifted and the
dark clouds of sorrow turn their sill
yer Innings when we reflect that Mr..
Wearren passed out conscious of the
presence and protection of Christ.
Two weeks before his death he ear
nestly sought reconciliation with his
God. By the skilful direction of Mr..
n. L. Prewitt, who sat by the bed
side and read the Gospel promises to
him. was able to see the way. Upon
the immediate acceptance Of the
promises and personal trust in
Christ as his savior, he began to
praise God for the Eternal Hope and
continued to praise Him until the
lveres of heaven were summoned to
watt him home to heaven.
God moves in mysterious ways
His wonders to perform"
May the same gracious Jehovah
who saved Bro. Wearren, comfort the
hearts and lift the burdens of the
bereaved ones in their hours of trials.
Il know not where His Islands lift
Their fronded palms in air,
| only know l can not drift
Beyond His love and care"
(Rev.) d. +. Sebastian.
