BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Helps PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misunder-
standing about the bread program In
England. 1t Is true that the English
man buys loaf of bread for less than
an American can, but 1t is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $2O0OO0,000 year toward the
cost of 1t.
All. the grain grown In Great Brit
ain is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing market price. This Is
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at 10 cents, the two pound loaf
at o cents and the one pound loaf at b
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex-
traction, the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

NEIGHBoRING PAPERS ARE
BOOSTING EQUITY CREAMERY
Hooker Advance Last Week Gave
Proposition a Good Send-OH.

1t is pleasing to the management
Of the Liberal Equity Creamery to
see the proposition favorably men,
toned by the papers in the adjacent
territory, and The Hooker Advance
last week did itself proud in boosting
the creamery.
There is no reason why the cream
cry should not fare we'll at the hands
Of the papers. True, the institution
is located in Liberal, and the town is
bound to benefit as a result, but is it
not fact also that every town in its
territory is going to be benefited?
If the farmers Of Hooker territory
can get more for their product is it
not going to make them more money
to spend with the business men of
that town, and is this not going to
help not only the farmer but the peo-
pie of the town as well2 /.
The small town creamery has al
ways been losing proposition as it
could not get enough of the raw
product to make it pay, and the only
way such an institution can be run to
capacity is to take in lot of terri
tory. This the Liberal creamery is
doing and it can make it interesting
to the farmers of all the territory af-
fected.
The management of the creamery,
its stockholders and friends will
thank the Advance for its kind words
and liberal attitude and hope that it
will get its share of the prosperity
that is sure to come to those who
give their attention to dairying.

 Germany has proved itself wonder fully resourceful. Its reserve power has been marvel. In spite of her tremendous losses and the general demoralization that is inevitable she will be able to prolong the war for sometime yet. But when victory comes to the allies no part of the new map will be labeled, Made in Ger many"
 No matter what Germans may think of the alleged peace scheme, it will be taken as clumsy joke and soon forgot.

Age-Heraid,s Contribution

That was really a very remarkable trip l made last week to south Alabama with Frank Willis Barnett" said Fred e. Jones, president of the Southern Cat uemens association.
 The purpose of the trip was to arouse interest in the Red Cross bull sale in Birmingham and from this standpoint the trip was highly successful. Everywhere you go these days you will find people interested and ready to do their part if you are urging anything in connection with the war. And the Red Cross seems to make special appeal to everyone.
 But the trip was a revelation to me in other ways. It was a joy to see the fine herds of cattle in those south Ala the car windows nearly all the time and it goes to show that Alabama is rap
 idly becoming a cattle raising state of the first importance. People are realizing more and more that this state is by na- ture wonderfully endowed for stock rais- ing. Cattlemen everywhere know this
 and that is the reason that the northern and western cattle raisers have been so eager to assist in this Red Cross bull sale. They want to do what they can to improve the strains in southern cattle and to induce the farmers of the state to embark more and more into this in
 dustry.
 | Tt is not quectiou of creating a com i pettor. They know that the demands for cattle in the next few years are going | to be tremendous and there will be d l market for all Arner:ca can produce.
 Alabama is looking forward with fine 1 vision to the future and the attitude of
 the people here speaks volumes for their foresight.
 | T can not say too much for The Age 1 Herald for sending MT. Barnett on this ] trip, for it was equal to thousand dollar donation to the Red Cross bull sale fund. His work was very effective and his en- 1 thusiasm conta gious."

Independence Day
 for All the World

1C7 OLLOWING the example of 4 France, whose love for America has increased tenfold since that stream of khaki-clad men began to pour across the Atlantic, Uruguay has made the Fourth of July nation al holiday. "When the war is over why not make it a worldwide holiday to commemorate the downing of che last autocracy asks an eastern con- temporary.
 Once the suggestion were offered through many channels, there can be little doubt that every democratic na- tion on earth would gladly adopt our Independence Day, but it would be more feasible, perhaps, to wait until the Hun is deeisively beaten, and whether it is in summer or winter, draw red ring around that date on the calendar and make it the interna- tional Independence Day
 It would be a splendid evidence of the solidarity of democratic peo- ples and proof of the bonds uniting them to have the whole world, with the possible exception of Germany, Aus Hungary, Turkey and Bulgaria. celebrating autocracy's downfall An international Fourth" would be worth living to see-and is well worth fighting for. It would release a tide of polyglot oratory that would leave the old-fashioned "spread-eagle" ora tor of America gasping for breath.

EAsILYolovED TO MIRTH

 What does the senator think we are lighting for?' interrupted Senator Shaf- roth of Colorado, in the course of the suffrage deba4e.
 q think to make the world safe for the democratic party" retorted Senator Brandegee, amid much laughter.
 The Senate is easily moved to mirth. From the mouth of an Indian recruit given to Americanisms which. in some quarters, are mistakenly looked upon as blasphemy, that retort discourteous sounded much better than it does when coming from the senator from Connect- cue. Perhaps he should sic,. pc criticised, however, for while it's Appropriateness is manifest, his remark was no more Tn. :. appropriate than that of the senator from Colorado, who is one of those un- thinking persons who see in ''equai sui frage" some relation to the democratic prl. .ciple involved in this war Tor the preservation of democracy and civiilza- tion to the world.

Germany's Latest
 Peace Programme

TIT HE Germans are devoid of any sense of humor, but the peace programme outlined by Count Roon in the Prussian House of Lords would be enough to stir the risibles of the rest of the world if the horrors of this bloodiest of all wars did not preclude mirth or laughter.
 What the imperial government de- mands, according to the noble count, includes the annexation of Belgium, the annexation of the Flanders coast, the ceding of the British war fleet to Germany, the restoration of Egypt to Turkey, the transfer of the Suez canal to Turkey, the return of Gibral- tar to Spain, not to mention other changes in the map of Europe for the aggrandizement of the German em- pire.
 Last, but not least, as the saying goes, Great Britain, France and the United States will be expected to pay all of Germany's war cost, amounting approximately to forty-five billion dollars. The wonder is that the ''pro- gramme" stopped short of a round fifty billion-dollar indemnity.
 Germany is doomed. Her atrocities cry to heaven for vengeance and this war will not end until the allies are completely victorious.
 The handwriting is on the wall, whether the Kaiser and his advisers see it or not. But one thing is cer- tain, Germany's plight grows more desperate, as it faces a food shortage and bankruptcy. The Kaisers sub- jects are restive and it is reasonable to suppose that the morale of Ger man arms is no longer what it was.
 The quiet audacity with which Count Roon sets forth Germany's de- mands may have the effect of raising the hopes of the disheartened popu- lace. But the bluff is too much over done to be taken seriously by German people who stop to think.
 The only provision" in Count Rooms outline that might seem to disclose a bit of subtle diplomacy is the sop to Spain. Like drowning men grasping at straws, Germany is clinging to the idea that Spain as Teutonic ally is still a possibility. The war party in Snain with a pro-German bias will
