No Farmer Stacker.

When this war is over and the
boys come marching home from
France, there will be at least one
class of people who can greet
them with no feeling of remorse
over failure to back them up in
every possible way. This class
is the farmers. Men employed
in many other industries have
struck for higher wages or for
shorter days. There has been
curtailment of production of
many things needed in the war.
but never in agricultural produc-
tion. The farmers have length
ened rather than shortened their
days of labor. Their wives and
children have participated more
generally in farm work. Every
available acre has been planted
to crops. Meat animals have
been produced in large numbers,
even when the price did not pay
for the feed. No where has the
farmer failed to do his best to
help speed this war to victory.

Red Cross Suggestions.

Our people are warned that no
unnecessary parcels should be
sent to our soldier boys in France
and that they will not be forward

request is made by the soldier and
endorsed by the soldiers Com

Further, it is urged that it is
advisable to send money instead
of supplies and thus avoid delay.
When it is impossible to have
mail communication between SOL
diers and their home folk, it is
best to communicate with W. R.

Shall The Germans Escape Punishment?

Germany invaded and occupied
Belgium, a neutral nation whose
neutrality she was bound by
treaty to respect and defend.
What has she been doing in
Belgium during the four years of
her invasion?
Having devastated town after
town and slaughtered men and
women and cruelty treated child
rem in the first days of her savage
rush, she refused to feed her
helpless victims. This barbaric
nation, boasting of it's culture and
of its greatness and its superb
ority to all other nations, actually
made the lives of Belgiams de-
pendent upon the contributions
of food by the United States and
England.
But that was only the begin
ming. Germany drove men and
women into slavery. She took
possession of the Belgian indus
tries, dismantled them and sent
the machinery to Germany. She
has robbed private houses and
stolen from the Kings palace.
Having largely deprived the citi-
zens of the means of self-support,
she has inflicted fine after fine
upon them. According to the
figures. of Lord Robert Cecil, AS
sistant Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, officially an
nounced to the British House of
Commons, the total of these fines
has announced to date to $780,
100000.
Shall the Huns escape punish
ment for these crimes? Shall
they be permitted to dicker for
and obtain an indeterminate
peace which will leave autocracy
in power and permit the Huns to
get away with the swag?
Ask those, questions of the
Marines and the United States
troops and see what the answer
will be!
