YOUR RECORD WILL
BE PUBLISHED

There has lately developed de-
sire on the part of the people to know
who in this section is supporting the
country by contributions and loans.
1t was because of requests that the
contributions in Chesterfield to the
Red Cross were recently published.
Already people are asking that list
of all subscriptions to w. S. S. be
published in The Advertiser. This
request will also be complied with.
We hope that every man in the coun-
ty will bear in mind that what he
does between this and the 2Sth of
June will become a permanent pub
lie record, known to all men.
Every man, woman and child
should so act that they will not be
ashamed for their record to be scruti,
nized by those who have made real
sacrifices.

THEY ARE OUT OF
LEATHER
SHOE

That the Germans are not thriving
as well as they claim is shown by
many incidences that leak out thru
the newspapers of that country. One
Of the most significant is an extract
from the Zeitung, of Essen, Ger
many. That paper is quoted as fol
lows:
''Go bare footed this summer and
help the Fatherland. In view of the
alarming scarcity Of leather, rich and
poor alike should dispense with boots
and shoes. Neither old nor young
need be ashamed to walk barefoot
anywhere-at home, in the streets,
at school or in the church."
An exchange says that if the Ger
mans had nothing more to be asham-
ed of than going barefoot they would
indeed be happy people. But
after the atrocities Of the last four
years it will not and much to their
shame to go unshod.

KAISER BILL AND BILL SHAKES
PEARE

1t is said that the Kaiser is having
fine edition of Shakespeare printed
If this is true, and it seems to be
well autheticated, here is one OF
Shakespeare's tributes to England
that the Kaiser will probably omit
from his German edition of the great
poet and dramatist:
''This royal throne of kings, thi.
sceptered isle,
This earth of magesty, this seat OF
Mars,
This other Eden, demi- i-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for
herself
Against infection and the hand of
war,
This happy breed Of men, this little
world,
This precious stone set in the silver
Which serves it in the Office of a
wall
Or as a mote defensive to house,
Against the envy of less happier
lands,-
This blessed plot, this earth, this
realm, this England"

"I've always believed in passing

wood and coal dealer, residing at

"For ID long miserable months

complications, until my life was just

she continued. "My appetite failed
me entirely and my food seemed to
poison my system. My extreme ner-
vousness made it impossible for me
to sleep and 1 was dragged down by
one trouble after another until l
thought everyday would be my last
and l was told that an operation
would be the only hope for my life.
l refused to allow the operation, how
ever, and, after reading what Tan

Mr.. LEVER MAKES COMPARISON

Congressman Lever, chairman of
the Committee on Agriculture, has
never failed to look after the inter-
ests of the farmers. There was re-
Gently some discussion in Congress as
to the merits Of bill making an ap-
preparation for the encouragement
and production of cottage cheese. The
proposition was opposed by Mr.. Cox,
of Indiana, when Mr.. Lever vigorous
ly defended the proposed appropria-
ton. We quote a few paragraphs of
his defense of the measure:
"Mr. Chairman, one of the pecu-
larities in this body is that whenever
bill is brought before the committee
recommending comparatively small
appropriation for anything touching
agriculture there is always raised a
tremendous howl against it. l have
seen pension bills carrying $150,00O,-
00N pass this body in ten minutes of
debate. have seen the Post Office
appropriation bill, carrying over
$250,OOO,0O0 to $3O0,OO0,00O pass
practically without discussion. l have
| seen the great naval bill take the
same course. I suspect that in few
days we will have the Army appro-
priation bill, carrying not millions
but billions; and there will not be a
| single little chirp about it from those
gentlemen who are so solicitous of
The funds in the Treasury. 1t is only
when the Agricultural Committee
| comes in that the watchdogs from
certain large committees in this
| House who would like to control all
! the appropriation that Congress
makes get into action and get
busy. 1 have seen it take place
here for many, many years. see
the evidences of it again this after
noon."
| Replying to the objection that wo-
men of the country know how to
make cottage cheese, Mr. Lever said
| "There is hardly rural woman in
| the United States who does not know
how to make cottage cheese, but has
not had it brought to their attention
| that by utilizing the milk, much Of
which i; wasted on the farm thry
| can save meat that can be sr:.t to
our boys who are dying in the
| trenches across the water"

THE ONE CROP AGRICULTURE.

l. The one-crop system is unsafe
economically because it depends upon
crop conditions and market condi-
tions for financial success; failure
of weather as well as failure of mar
ket brings ruin. All the eggs are in
one basket.
2. A one-crop system of agricul-
ture does not maintain soil fertility
because it gives no opportunity to
restore humus, nitrogen and other
plant food elements to the soil by
the use of crop rotation.
3. A one-crop system of agricul-
ture generally fails to take livestock
into account and therefore does not
produce either the meat of the coun-
try or the manure necessary to soil
fertility, nor does it provide other
livestock for the Utilization of the
waste products of the farm and the
.Eing Of waste lands productive.
a. The one-crop system is uneco-
nomic because it involves long peri
DDS of idleness for farm machinery.
equipment and labor and does not
utilize capital, land and labor to the
fullest possible extent Under high
ly diversified system Of agriculture,
each laborer, with full complement
of tools and teams, will handle more
land and have greater income per
man than where the full attention is
devoted to the one crop.
5. Under one-crop system Of
agriculture the return for labor
comes but once per year, and it
builds up a system which involves the
payment of the heaviest possible pro-
fits for the necessary supplies Of the
farm, compelling the farmer to sell
his product at the lowest wholesale
price, while he buys his supplies at
the highest retail price. Diversified
agriculture produces the food on the
farm, requires a minimum of high
priced supplies and saves the money
from the cash crops as profits.
6. Lastly, the one-crop system IL
mits knowledge, narrows citizenship
and does not foster home building.

At this time of labor shortage, the
advantage of cooperation in the use
Of farm machinery ought to be con-
sidered by every farmer. There is
not ging to be enough machinery to
supply the demand this spring, and
before buying anything every farmer
ought to ask himself if there is not
some neighbor or kinsman who might
join him in its purchase and use.

To Utilize Fish Resources.

Rochester IN. VI Democrat and Chronlcle)
 Secretary of Commerce Redfeld has announced that his department is working out plan TOT the greater development of the fishing industry as IL re- 1ates to Alaskan waters to the end of adding largely to the food of the country. Heretofore solman and halibut have been the principal Varl- cities of fish taken commercially in the Territory, but herring and other fish which said to equal, both in quality and quantity similar fish taken on the Scotch and Norwegian coasts. An experiment. sta ton will be established Puget Sound and another will probably be located at point in the former Russian possession.
 This action will be welcomed if it results in ln- creasing the supply of cured food, and lowers prices which, ever since the beginning of the war, have been practically prohbive. in the case Of peo- pie living short distances from the Atlantic ana Pacific It should also add largely to the sup ply of fresh fish for the people of the Northwest az the commodity, under modern methods of cooling, can be transported long distances in good condition
 Incidentally, steps have been taken to increase the food supply from the freshwater inland lakes of this State. It is matter of common knowledge that at least of the socalled finger lakes abound in large and other fish Seneca lake is also abund antly stocked with trout and for unexplained the larger fish in the latter lake respond more readily to bait lures than in the other lakes It is proposed to utilize the supply in Cayuka lake by issuing licenses for the of gill nets of large mesh in order to capture the larger specimens without dis turbing fish of lesser growth. Attention has ire quently been called in these columns to the well known abundance of large trout in Hemock lake, the source of Rochesters water supply. While it may be deemed advisable to allow the of in that the city through its Department Public Works might draw this important food resource, and dis pose of the fish at reasonable prces under some equitable system of distribution.
