MONDAY PRAYER

Give us glad faces of victory as
we move among our fellows, 0
Lord, for Thou art the Author OF
our faith. Our hearts are fixed on
Thee and we know that our right
eous Cause cannot fail, because
Thou canst not fail. Quicken our
spirits and our pens to impart con-
fidence and gradness TO our fighting
men and all our fellows. Make us
hearteners of the people, and bear
ers of cheer and inspiration. So
would we speed the day OF triumph
and of peace, and Of the worlds new
awareness of Thee, gracious Sover-
eign Of souls. Amen.

ors declare that the order strikes
at the root OF religious liberty With
rare misunderstanding OF the sit
uaton, they complain that the gov
ernment is trying to prescribe what
soldiers should hear and what they
should believe And they are be-
ing encouraged by those pro-Ger-
man sympathizers who have been SO
busily stirring up religious differ
enceS and sectarian strifes in this
country, in order to impair our ma
tional unity and set us fighting each
other instead OF fighting Germany.
The order is plainly an exercise
OF necessary military authority OF
the simplest sort. 1t is directed
against no religion. any more than
the order that only military medical
officers shall practice in camp is
directed against any school of med
icine. 1t strikes at religious liberty
no more than the prescription of
unauthorized orators in camp strikes
at liberty of thought. 1t is neces-
sary for the maintenance OF military
discipline, for the protection OF the
camps against German agents and
propagandists. and for the military
control OF military areas. The only
persons who could reasonably OBJ
ject to it would be the disloyal and
disaffected who find themselves shut
out from an opportunity to insti-
gate disloyalty and encourage dis
affection where these would be most
dangerous to a successful national
defense.

Mr.. Pennington, but during the
time the pig is growing, | consider
a stand of Sudan grass far ahead
of alfalfa. Sudan grass when once
properly rooted is the fastest and
most persistent growing grazing
that | have ever had any experience
with. Even when it is cropped TO
the ground, il is only 4 question OF
day or two before it affords am
pie feed again. Its dcpendability
is unusual and the growing pig
thriveS on it, As an intermediate

mixture OF short, soured Syruo
and cottonseed meal, Along with
this in the latter part OF January |
SOW on the same acreage barley
oats. cane and rape. This provides
feed, both green and grain, from the
early spring until about the first OF
August The barley starts TO grow
first and the hogs feed on the green
sprounts until it commences 10
tougher and grow to head. The
later begins to tougher and grow
barley, however. in the meantime
is followed by the green oats, which
to head. The cane and the rape
in the meantime, are supplying green
feed and when the barley first ma
lures in the head and later the oats,
they get the benefit OF both green
and grain feed. a mixture that is
practically fattening enough for
marketing purposes and too fatten-
ing for breeding purposes il they are
allowed to run as long as the feed
lasts.
For all round purposes said
Mr.. Pennington on the chicken
question, the Barred Plymouth
Rock, to my judgment, is the most
dependable. While they are not as
steady in their laying as some 9th
ers, the comparison OF weights of
the years products of the Barred
Plymouth Rocks with those that
are more prolific will, ii anything,
be in their favor. They are sturdy
breed, good rustlers, consistent and
dependable settlers and their devel-
opment in weight for market pur-
poses is not exceled by any
other.

STUDYING A PEACE
FORMULA

We might as well memorize now
little set OF words that our great
grandchildren will be required to
learn in school:
The destruction OF every arbit-
rary power anywhere that can sep
;arately, secretly and of its single
choice disturb the peace OF the
world"
There is a good deal in that, as
YOU discover when you have got il
pat and luI1inated over it while.

nearly and powerfully concerns.
must find il very engrossing as they
study it and figure out its applica-
tion.
To them il means revolution.
Whether peaceful or violent revolu-

1t is indeed unusual to find a
man engaged in commercial pur-
suits in the city that is a practical
livestock and farm products raiser.
Hardly without an exception, where
YOU lind business man farmer, the
farm management is left to some
other man. This is not the case
with Mr.. Pennington, for he finds
time to look afterboth departments,
and the result that he has produced
on the farm by close study and eN-
periments is nothing short OF
astounding. The writer found him
one OF the mos thorough and prac-
tical farmers in the whole South
west.
In relating his experiences, he
disclosed information on advanced
methods that are most plausible
and practical. Information that is
not found in the textbooks OF the
agricultural schools OF the country
in farm journals or other mediums
OF approved farming and livestock
methods.
Duroc Jerseys His Hobby.
His hobby, if any, is the raising
and breeding OF high bred Duroc-
Jersey hogs and let it be said right
here that his herd is composed OF
individuals with the blood strains
OF some OF the best and most valua-
bic animals in the whole country.
And the most surprising thing OF all
disclosed in his interview is the fact
that these aristocrats have been sold
on the market for pork. Think OF
descendants Of the famous Model
8 and Long Wonder Bell, who be-
longs in the Sl,OOO00 individual,
being sold on the open market. What
are the farmers in this section
thinking of not to avail themselves
of the opportunity to start herd
from this wonderful breed right
here at their door? There is some
thing radically wrong. They should
not be sold at so much per pound,
but by all means should be bought
by the farmers in this section in
order to raise the standard OF the
hog population.
But before going into the iced
proposition, it might be said in pass
ing that the selection OF the Duroc-
Jersey breed as most adaptable,
prolific and profitable in this sec
tion was reached only after a num-
Der Of other breeds had been raised
in the same PEN fed the same feed
and received the same treatment by
Mr.. Pennington.
While the hundred head of cattle
on the l,200-acre farm are, as yet,
high grade, the herds are headed by
two magnificent animals, one Red
Poll and the other Polled Dur
ham, both registered and OF choice
pedigree. A registered COW and calf
promise to be the nucleus OF fu-
ture pure bred herd.
Naturally, the success he has at
tanned in the raising OF hogs is large !
ly due to his thorough study of the
proper and greatest result producing
feed and constant experiments. The
results reached by these experiments
have stood the hundred per cent test
with him and should be of inestima-
bic value to every raiser of hogs in |
this section in point OF information.

IN GERMANY'S OWN COIN.

I'm the Franco-PruSSlan WaI
whenthe German, had surrounded a
great French army at Sedan and
France asked Tor an armI,tice. Bis
marck replied:
Germany desires to promote the
re-establiShment OF peace. The best
means Of assuring it is to deprive
France OF her army"
That same policy is far more ap-
plicable today than it wa, in 1870.
At that time Germany was not
obliged to annihlate her enemy's
army in order to re-establish peace,
because Germany herself was the
real aggressor. and France would
have submitted to an honorable
peace. Now. we know that there
is absolutely no way OF inSuring
to ourselves and the world eNcep;
annihilatng German military pow
er.
We therefore do Germany the
honor OF adopting Bismarck's for
mula. We lind that his own words
lit the present situation better than
any we could devise ourselves. We
"desire to promote the re-establish-
ment OF peace and the best means
OF assuring it is to deprive Germany
OF her army

BOYS IN INDUSTRY

The tendency oi boys to leave
school before their education can
be considered complete even by
the most modest standards is always
problem. lust now its is more Seri-
ous than usual. \ national survey
shows that high school attendance
is falling Off. Not only are the upper
classes shrinking, but admissions are
decreasing. The boys are lured from
their studie, by the temptation of
abnormally high wages.
II these lads were being utilized
in essential war work, or ii they were
engaged in work giving them val
liable training the situation might be
tolerablc. But it appears that the
great majority OF them are going in
to occupations classed as non-essen-
tial; and worse still, so far as the
boys personally are concerned, they
are taking Jobs that demand no skill
and offer no future.
1t happens that unSkilled labor at
present is in such demand that it
obtains pay out OF proportion o the
service rendered, as compared with
skilled labor, Boys get big wages
for carrying water, handling tools,
performing Office chores and other
trivial work, demanding little
strength. intelligence. knowledge or
skill.
