CHAPTER K.

The enemy's shelling TO reduce our
position gradually grew stronger, but
without effect. Some houses caught
fire. Enemy cavalry patrols in strong
force appeared and disappeared again.
Everything became quiet. Within ten
minutes matters again became lively,

No greater calamity coul

No greater calamity could
overtake this country than fol
our people to be possessed OF
the erroneous belief that. the
war is as good as won, and
that further strenuous exertion
is unnecessary.
The war is not won, and I'M
less all indications are mis-
leading, is not likely to be won
soon. The forces contending
for victory are far too evenly
matched for either to obtain
any decided victory.
Every man, woman and
child in this country should
nerve themselves, constantly
remind themselves that their
utmost exertion ard sacrifice
is imperatively demanded.
Any other attitude must result
in a weakening of the will to
win, and a consequent slacken-
ing of effOrt-and these at this
stage of affairs would be fatal
TO our cause.
Of course it is barely posi-
BILE that some fortunate cir
cumstance may befall to throw
victory to our arms, but this is
extremely unlikely until we
have greatly increased our
strength on the fighting front.
So let us reach out after four
or five millions of fighting
men, put them on the front,
and then SUSTAIN them. 1t
must not be said that America
a nation that has never yet
done things by halves, has
now taken up the practice.
We will have peace when our
arms enforce it-not before.

THRASHERMEN Meet

On Tues lay afternoon the thresh-
ermen Of The county gathered in the
County Cour. room to meet Mr..
| Claude Bohannon of the Grain Divis-
ion Of the L. S. Food Administration.
| Mr.. Bohannon delivered a very en-
joyable address in which he pointed
out how the thrashermen can help
win the war and what the Govern
. ment expects them to do.
First il was asked each Of the men
if his machine was in good repair
/ and if he had.all the supplies nee
essary. Every man in the county is
ready to begin thrashing as soon as
the wheat is ready and all the ma
chimes are in good order.
Next every man was warned that
the government expected a sheet to
be used around his rig so that none
Of the wheat would be wasted.
Every grain of wheat lost this year
is national loss and the govern
ment will permit no man to wiIlfully
waste wheat or other food stuffs.
Every wagon whether that Of a
thrasherman or farmer hauling
wheat 10 the machine mus, have
tight bottom bed, This rule is to be
strictly enforced and Mr., Bohannon
went on 10 show the saving this will
mean to Garrarl County. Accord
ing to experiments carried out by
the government every wagon with a
tight bottom bed will save in one day
/ l-2 bushels of wheat. There are
eleven machines in Garrard County
and they are served with an average
Of 8 wagons making GO wagons haul
ing wheat during the thrashing sea-
son which is about 80 days. If each
Of these wagons has a tight bottom
bed 90 bushels of grain will be saved
per day and a saving Of 1904 bush
els Of wheat win be effected during
the season in Garrard County alone
At $500 per bushel this will
amount TO SLIPS saved to the farm
ers Of Carrard County. Is not this
worth while and will any fair think
ing farmer in the county object to
fixing his wagon bed so that this bus
hel and one-half per day may be
saved?
Ii was also suggested by the
thrashermen that farmers cut their
grain high this year so that so much
straw will not have to be run thru
the machines thus saving time.
The threshermen of thecounty will
do their part during the coming sea-
son and it is now up to the. farmers
to do theirs that the entire grain
crop Of the county may be saved.

A TRIBUTE TO mrs. vii.
Liam G. ANDERSON.

Mrs. Lucy Herndon Anderson died
at her ohme last Saturday evening
at eleven-thirty o'clock. The home
where she was reared; the home
where she was married; the home
where she had seen much joy and
much sorrow, the greatest sorrow
being, when her daughter, Mrs Lula
Bowman, died three years ago.
In old neighborhoods, and espec-
tally farm neighborhoods, people
come 10 know each other with a sort
of knowledge that reaches down into
the hidden springs of human nature.
What a supreme triumph il is, hav-
ing grown old, to merit the respect
Of those who know us best!
"Who can find a virtuous woman
For her price is far above rubies; the
heart Of her husband doth safely
trust her She will do him good and
not evil all the days of her life she
looketh well to the ways of ncr
household and eateth not the bead
of idleness. Her children rise up
and call her blessed; her husband a.
so, and he praiseth her Favor ;
deceitful and beauty is vain, hut a
woman that feareth the Lord. she
shall be praised" All who krew
Mrs Anderson viii agree these ex-
pressions We're highly applicable to
her.
Looking backward two or more de-
cades, we can find that there was a
day when if the church's interests
were to be served by activities upon
the purely social side or upon the call
for money, Mrs. Anderson, as Presi-
dent of the Ladies Aid Society. or as
a member, put forth her magnificent
energies and executive ability, for
the church she loved so we'll OF
inestimable value, she proved her
strength to her town, her church and
her friends, and those who knew her
best win not soon forget her.

the age of fourteen, when all denom-

she told us she would not |
have celebrated it, as Lula was gone.
Mrs. Anderson is survived by her
devoted husband, now in the 9lst
year of his age, three children, Mrs.
Mamie Young, Mrs. Florence Grant

leaves twelve grandchildren and

BOW TO A WAR PASSION.

The extreme radicaltsm and manifest
lack Of necessity for Governor Hard
ing's ban upon all foreign languages
being used IN public places is causing
the Iowa executive no small amount OF
emb arrassment. Roosevelt's and Lafe
Young's endorsement Is about all the
comfort ne Is going to get out Of 1t but
our peoples OF foreign birth are really
not called upon to make very much of
a sacrifice to comply with the executive
order.
SO far as people who speak German
are concerned compliance with the rule
will benefit them in that it will avoid
arousing suspicion at a time when pub
lie sentiment is very much infamed
over the war. When men converse in
the German language on the streets
and in other public places those who
hear without being able to understand
promptly suspect that the German
tongue is being used to conceal dis
loyal talk.
When preacher insists upon de-
livering sermons in German he and his
congregation are placed under sus-
picion. It is not just that 1t IL 30 but
