Great Agricultural PROGRESS

The farm value of agricultural
products for 1917 aggregated s5O7,-
225,OOO. This exceeds the value of
the crops of 1915 by S136, O37, 900
and surpasess the record breaking
crop year 1914 by S131, 100000.
Livestock in 1917 kept pace with
farm products, surprising all prev
ious records with value of $751;
665,000. 1t exceeded the best pre-
ceeding ycar-1916-by S11, 644.-
600.
In fairness to the farmers it should
be said these phenomenal values were
not due to bumper crop yields, but
to higher prices influenced by war
conditions. The outstanding features
of the years agricultural inventory
are the disappointing yields of the
principal crops and the extraordinary
prices ruling throughout the year.
The huge aggregate increase in value
cannot be construed as so much addi-
tional "velvet" for the farmers. Their
net profits, where there have been
profits, have not been as large as In
some other years, although bank de-
posts show that taking the state as
a whole they have laid up consider
able money for a rainy day. What
other state can make a better show
ing, taking into account the increased
expense of farm operations and that
two-thirds of the winter wheat area
had entirely to be abandoned because
of r-killing.-From Governor
Capper's report of a years business

Wife Faces Other Woman Who Prom
ises to Leave Town
In the last episode Mary, the wife
of Kennedy, warned Margaret War
ner that she must give up her hus-
band. Margaret made an honest eff
fort TO do so, but Kennedy overcame
the girls resolve. Norwood, who has
true and unsefsh love for Marga-
ret, aided her in recovering valua bic
papers from Doyle.
Struck on the head, he was left IN
the burning house, in which they had
surprised Doyle and his henchmen.
Margaret returns with a patrolman
who after a desperate fight with the
flames finally carries out the uncon-
scious body of Norwood. Doyle,
thinking that Norwood is safe out of
the way, begins new plot to avenge
himself upon Kennedy.
Mary receives another note from
the yelled woman while eating break
fast. Kennedy demands to see 1t. She
refuses. Forcing 1t from her hands,
he read: 'Your husband visited the
other Woman's apartment this after
noon Remember he ruined my life,
and am going to punish him" 'Who
IS this yelled woman? Someone you
have runined?" Mary asks him. Ken
nedy tells Mary that he does not
know anything about this mysterious
woman.
Margaret accompanies Norwood
home, and after she has bathed his
head, he gradually gains strength He
learns that the papers he had helped
| her recover were in reality letters
from Kennedy. "Do you mean to say
1 was aiding Kennedy in recovering
those papers?" he asks. Margaret,
fearful, slowly mods her head. Nor
wood tells Margaret that he will not
forget that she has tricked him.
Mary visits Margaret and tells heI
that she will have to give up her hus-
band or she will have here elected as
an immoral person. Mary gives Mar
garet four hours in which to leave
town Margaret, really a good girl
writes Kennedy that she is going out
of his life, and that she does not wish
to see him again. He phones Marga.
ret, but discovers that she has gone
leaving no address.
Kennedy is followed by the veileC
woman to his Office and with knife
drawn, she attempts to end his life
Struggling, Kennedy Overpowers her
Seeing that she will be caught, she es

No Call Before February 18th of Men
in Deferred Glasses.

The following telegram has been
sent by the Provost Marshal General
to the governors of all States:
It has been decided that there will
be no more formal calls for deferred
percentages of the present quota be
fore February 18th. While boards
should, until they have enough men
finally classified IN class 1, send for
ward promptly men selected under
the old regulations to make up def
ciencies in calls already made, the
result OF this decision will be that we
shall be able to give the benefit of
the new classification system to all
men whose order numbers are so
late as to place them within deferred
percentages of the present call
Calls will, however, be made very
shortly under the provisions Of Sec
ton 149 for the special class of men
there mentioned. For the sake of
composing the public mind and for
the conveience of registrants this in
formation ought to be given wide dis
semination.

I'm times of war or peace, 1t is the
part of good citizenship to be thrifty
because of it's benefit to the individ-
ual, both in strengthening material
resources and imparting strength of
character. The patriotic thrift of
these war days means the placing of
national needs ahead of all individual
consideration. All of US stand on
terms of equality in war times, and,
even, though q man can afford this
or that, he should not indulge in it,
# by so doing he is depriving the gov
eminent of things needed for war
purposes. But it will be most unfort-
innate if false practices of economy
are carried to such indicriminate
lengths that financial disaster, panics,
receiverships and bread lines are
created. And it would be equally I'M
fortunate from the standpoint of our
selves and posterity if such a condi-
ton of affairs were brought about
under the name of thrift. Thrift
does not mean tight-fistedness or Mig
grdly habits. It means progress
building prosperity develop
ment of sensible habits of living.
Mere money saving is only one of the
attributes of true, constructive thrift.
ct is our duty at this time to avoid
any suggestion of hysteria. Let US
view our duties to our nation from a
sane, practical standpoint. Let US
strive wherever possible, consistent
with the practices of unstinted pa
triotism, to lend encouragement to
fair and legitimate American bust
ness, which is a mighty asset to the
allied nations"

Lieut.. Given and his detachment
are entitled to the greatest credit
for the way this operation was plan

1t took place in the following way:
% A German listening post was
accurately located.
CD A careful study of the means
of communication of this l. P. with
the rear and of the habits and Gus
toms of the personnel Of this L. P,
was made.
60 A deep incursion was made
into the enemy lines in order to set
an ambush on the communicating
trenches Of this post
(4) This ambush patrol was made
up four nights in succession.
CD When sound Of approaching
foot steps was heard, all crouched
down and then pounced on the on
conner.
(6) The prisoner put up staunch
resistance but was overcome and
brought back into our lines without
the attention of the German listening
posts being aroused.
The complete success of this small
operation is further proof Of what
can be expected from patrols and
their leaders when they are animated
with the spirit Of thoroughness,
perseverance, cool mindness, decision,
discipline energy and courage, ali
qualities required from patrollers.

The most efficient service to the
boys in our great fighting machine is
the consideration Of first importance.
Tais result can be obtained only when
oil Of the organizations qualified to
help, work in a spirit Of closest CO.
operation. There must be no dupli-
cation of effort, no overlapping and
no unnecessary expenditure Of per-
sonal service or money. Each ounce
OF strength, each dollar must be made
to perform its fullest function. The
fact that all of these splendid organ
izations have come together in a CO.
operative financial campaign is the
best assurance Of the accomplish
ment of the desired result in the
field. May it not also happen that
working side by side and seeing eye
to eye as they will, there will grow UP
asspirit of greater olerance, Of bet
ter understanding and Of more gen
uine sympathy between the various
groups thus represented?
Every man and woman in this great
land is Of necessity interested in these
organizations and desires to support

sible, also financially. For these
splendid soldiers Of our who have al
ready been conducting themselves
with such magnificent courage, such
unselfish patriotism on the other
side, are not the governments SOL
aiers, but the. peoples soldiers. They
are the sons, the brothers, the lovers

They are giving their all. The most
