Of Grain Home.
With the American Army on the
Soissons-Rheims Front, Aug. 5.-Thou-
sands of bushels of French wheat have
been shipped home by German sold
iers. The French and Americans dur
ing their advance of the last few days
have discovered that systematic plans
had been laid by the Germans for
reaping the harvest in the country
from which they have been driven.
The territory stretching northward
from. the Marine is virtually one great
wheat field, broken by forests here
and there. The wheat was sown by
peasants before the Germans ad-
vanced from the Aisne late in May and
early in June and began ripening
early in July.

of an enlarged homestead law. that

land. IF the land is absolutely no good
for anything else and lies perpendicu-

evidence We are able to obtain from
actual farmers in this section that law

enacted. 1t cannot be of no real bene-
fit to anyone, as if the land is of the
nature that may be filed upon the

good Congressman ever raised his

few dollars to make a road up to
Grand Mesa? This mesa offers ad-

All socks and sweaters must be
knit according to the new directions
and should conform to the measure
ments. Regulate the stitches accord
ing to the quality of yarn so that the
sock measures three inches wide at
cuff and four inches in the leg and
foot. This may take more or less than
the Sc stitches.
All sweaters should measure seven
teen to twenty inches across. the chest
mot stretched) and liz to 1914 in.
across the neck when stretched. Cast
ing on and binding off must be done
on sweaters ad sox.
The Kitchner toe ONLY will be ac-
cepted. II you cannot weave the
kitchner toe correctly-there should
be no break in the continuous knitting
from back to front of sock-narrow
your sock according to directions until
ready to finish. then run the stitches
on string and turn the sox over to
the knitting committee. All socks
with imperfect toes will be returned
to the maker for correction. All sox
must be finished in two weeks and all
sweaters in three weeks after yarn is
taken out. II you are not willing to
comply with these instructions do not

birthday 1t was the Endorsement by
Americans of many callings, creeds
and races of his avowal of the truth
about the war, hard and whole and

clared that We are at war with the
whole German people and demanded
that we must fight the war to a fin
ish, beat Germany and the Germans

render. They .cheered again and
again when he flayed the Bolsheviki
as "murderous anarchists" in the pay
of Germany. and appealed for the de-
spatch forthwith of at least two hun
dred thousand fighting troops to Rus
sia, there to raise with the forces of
our allies the standard of law and or

are left can repair. And when the
last question was answered and the

 Everybody on the Pacific coast is bubbling over with patriotism and the sights one witnesses are enough to stir up the red blood in all loyal Amer jeans. Uncle Sam has undoubtedly entered this war to see it through to victorious conclusion, and it is Cer- tainly gratifying to know that the peO- pie are backing up President Wilson and all military and civilian move, ments that are working to that end. 'The liberal subscriptions to both Lib- erty loan issues, the magnificent response to the big drive for increased Red Cross memberships and now the rapid sale of thrift and war savings stamps all speak volumes for the part the Americans are doing to help win the war.
