troops are holding the line against the
Bolsheviki on the middle sector of the
northern front in the region of Cadish.
After ten weeks OF fighting in

an ice filled stream, on the opposite
side of which are the camp fires OF the
enemy.
Under British command and with

ably have had more fighting and more
hardships than other American units
in Russia. The force has been oper-

been in bad condition and the only
means Of transporting supplies to
greater part of the front has been
wheelbarrows and carts drawn By 80

LONDON. Nov. 26.-William ao-

if his presence there becomes perlous
to that country. Premier Ruija De

November 20.
The Kaiser is in Holland as pri-
vate person." said the premier as
quoted by the correspondent. The
hospitality of the country is extended
him in accordance with centuries old
tradition, but it goes without saying
that the moment his sojourn becomes
a danger to the state he will have to
leave We believe the Kaiser and
those with him understand the posi-
ton and will act accordingly to heir

mild a bump that it will not he felt
It is believed by some that the slump
will be more than neutra1ized by the

That this new business development
Will Gove;ail into the fo-.9er actfvi

need OF coal. and the Scandinavian
countries-Norway, Sweden and De:1-
1nark-are also. Egypt and other
countries along the Mediterranean SEA
are also on the market for coal and
are said to be in sore need of it. There
should be a big bost in South Amer

These facts are interesting to the

The probabilities are that Great

limitations for it. With these facts

FARM TO FARM
DRIVE FOR FOOD
Not Time Yet to Stop In
tensive Production,
Say Experts.

Nat {. Frame, state superintendent
OF farm agents, was in the city today
consulting with County Agent NC
Comas regarding the Marion couaty
plans for carrying on Farm Bureau
week which will begin all over the
country December and continue I'M
til December 3.
The object OF Farm Bureau week is
to keep the people OF this country on
their toes with regard TO the produc-
ton OF all kinds OF food. There is a
widespread disposition to ease up now
that the war is over, but the national
and state agricultural departments
know that there is going to be an even
greater demand for food Stuffs OF all
kind next year because OF the neces-
sity for feeding central Europe as well
as the rest OF the world, and they
are exertfpg every effort possible to
increase instead OF diminish produc-
ton Prices are certain to keep up to
the present high level Tor at least an
other year and it is the opinion OF
those who have studied the matter
that the American farmer and garden
er will have to extend himself to meet
the demand.
County Agent NIcComas plans to
see that Farm Bureau worker will
visit every farm in the county during
Farm Bureau week and carry to 1t the
message OF the need OF the world. A
meeting OF representative men from
the mag!sterial district Will be held in
his office in the court house Saturday
and at that meeting the workers who
will visit the farms VIII be selected
and the line OF talk that VIII be given
to the farmers visited will be discuss
ed. 1t is the intention to make this
the most tlloroughgoing effort in be-
half OF greater production ever under
taken in Marion county.
