BREWSTER WILL WIN

Hon. o. L. Munger of Piedmont was
here Saturday and was asked by a
Press reporter what he thought of the
political situation in the 18th Con-
gressional District.
He said: within the last few days
| have been in Wayne, Reynolds, Iron,
Bollinger and St. Francois counties,
and / find Brewster growing strong
err" He says he finds that the people
in these counties, without regard to
party affiliations, understand and know
that Mr.. Brewster stands four-square
with the administration, and they I'M
derstand that there was no honorable
means of escape from the entrance of
the nation in this war, at the time,
and that we are now engulfed in a
world war, and that Mr.. Brewster can
be depended upon to stand by the adj
ministration until the Huns are driven
from every point of defense and until
they yield to the reasonable demands
of our nation, which means safety
and world democracy.
Mr.. Munger thinks the people of
this district want a man who will
work in harmony with the admins
tration on all war measures, and says
he knows Mr.. Brewster to be the man
who will do it and believes Mr.. Brews-

HOW TO CLEAN
DAIRY UTENSILS

Most of the bacteria which get in
to milk come from the utensils, such
as cans, pals, strainers, coolers, and
separators, which have not been prop
erly cleaned. The University of Mis-
souri,, College of Agriculture recon-
mends the following method of clean
ing the dairy utensils: 1. Rinse in luke
warm water as soon after as possible.
2. Wash in hot water containing wash
ing powder which will remove grease.
3. Rinse in clean hot water and place
in live steam Is seconds, drain and
place right side up until steam evap-
crates. On the farm where steam is
not available summing will give eff
fective results. Drying should not be
done with a cloth, but by heating the
utensils in steam or an oven suffi-
GENTLY to evaporate the moisture.
Invert in clean protected place when
dry.

THE DRAFTED MAN

There is story, which has been de-
MED, that certain young officer who
had achieved quite a reputation as a
patriotic spell-binder, allowed himself
to be so carried away by eloquential
heat that he expressed scorn for the
men who wait to be drafted, and de-
clared that the better heroes are they
who volunteer.
Whether this news be true or false
it brings out point that ought to be
sharpened and thrust into the public
attention.
And that is that men who enlist are
no more worthy of praise, flowers, and
medals than the men who are con-
scripteH
After due deliberation this country
decided that the just, sensible, and on
ly democratic thing to do is to call
every man in the nation, of certain
age, to its defense. This practically
does away with volunteering.
No man is supposed to step for
ward and offer his services to the ar
my, because when the army gets ready
for him it will take him.
Instead of the volunteer, who en-
lists and selects the place he wants,
it is the drafted man, going cheerfully
when he is called and taking the place
where he is needed, that deserves the
bouquets.
Drafted men are now occupying the
environments, crowding the troop
ships, pouring into France and fight
ing like wildcats in the battle line.
They do not consist of those few
Americans who were brave enough
and patriotic enough to leap to their
country's help; they represent the en-
tire manhood of a nation where vol
unteers are not necessary, because all
are glad to do and die for liberty.
When a whole population springs to
arms the odium that has attached to
the word conscript falls away, for all
are conscripts, and CONSUMPTION in
stead of meaning the compulsion of
unwilling slaves means simply the
best and most efficient method of put
ting every willing free man in the
place where he can do the most good.
The draft is the organization of an
intelligent democracy. 1t does not ask
those who are ready to die for their
country to enlist; it assumes that all
are ready.
The drafted men are entitled to full
ly as much honor as the volunteers.
1t is they who will win this war.

hogs would probably vary as much as
SOC per cwt. This is just one illus
tration of what statesmen are up
against on such grades of hogs. AS a
rule, Southern classes of hogs are
selling fully 81 per cwt. under the
same grade and weight natives sell
for. Pigs of all kinds, including Sou
thern offerings, are selling to good
advantage, owing to the fact that the
demand for feeder stuff has been I'M
usually good for the past several
weeks.
SHEEP.-Nothing of startling
nature has taken place in this depart
ment for some weeks. The facts are,
with mutton stock high, buyers are
purchasing as to actual requirements,
and yet with supply ruling very small,
no tendency of weakening the market
has developed. There is one feature
of the trade which developed today,
and that is, that the scarcity of we'll
finished Northern lambs has served to
create little keener competition
among city butchers, and few sales
OF fancy lambs were made on the cur
rent market 25c to SOC higher than a
week ago, but they were virtually
what we would term outside sales, and
should not be considered in the gene
raj situation.
AS to the future of the cattle, hog
and sheep markets, there is, without
question of doubt, very healthy de-
mand for the dressed product, even in ,
spite of the unusually high prices pre-
valent. The markets, however, natu-
rally reflect sensitive condition, and
slight increases or decreases in the
available supply has a more direct
bearing upon the market under pres
ent conditions than during ordinary
times.

AMERICAN AID

Though America had a distinct
grievance against Germany and hon
or demanded that we assert ourselves,
we were not threatened, we We're not
in danger, to anything like the ex-
tent that France and England were,
and therefore our entry into the war
was to large degree an unselfish
act having for it's object the good of
civilization and the whole world. 1t
was further unselfish act to send our
troops to be mingled with the French
and British in battle, thinking only of
the common cause and Indifferent to
the fame of achievement by Ameri-
can arms. We not only sought no I'M
selfish gain in material sense but
were willing for the credit for Amer
lean success in the field to belong to
the Allied force in general. But we
are at least entitled to the glory of
conspicuous service by Americans,
and some of US are wondering to what
extent the success of the French and
British armies is due to the Ameri-
can soldiers lost to view in their
ranks.
The very substantial contribution
America is already making to the
success of the Allied arms has been
indicated by many accounts of indi.
vidual achievement that have reached
us, but by none more wildly perhaps
than the recent exploit of Lieut.. Ed
mund G. Chamberlain, of San Antonio,
Texas, while serving as an aviator
above the steadily advancing British
lines. This young American not only
fought and destroyed five German
aeroplanes but, sweeping down in his
damaged machine, scattered a detach-
ment of German soldiers and, on
landing, bluffed three others into be-
lieving that his compass was a bomb,
captured one of them and then carried
a wounded French aviator back to
safety "a truly glorious example of
what individual Americans scattered
through tl!c Allied ranks are accomp-
fishing.

KIDDING" THE CROWN PRINCE

The German crown prince is con-
WINGED that the majority of Ameri-
cans in France do not know what thew
are fighting for. As proof. he de,
scribes in the Budapest Est the fol-
lowing incident: 81 asked an American
prisoner what they were fighting for,
and he answered, For Alsace,' and to
the question, Where is Alsace?' he
replied, "It's big lake."
The English call that sort of thing
"spoofing." On Broadway they call It
kidding. But such dense ignorance
puzzled the crown prince, and as the
unconscience victim of an irreverent
American joker he "fell for it hard"
II he had searched further he might
have found more instances of the same
KIND OF amazing stupidity on the part
OF the American soldiers. It would
probably never have occurred to him
that he was being guyed.
The trouble is that the average
American boy, in or out of uniform.
is disposed to regard royalty, especial
ly of the all-highest Hohenzollern or
der, as sort of musical comedy tyne.

institution. 1t does not render him

The List of the Dead

we have even been led up to thai
hour. All that we might hope to b.
depended then on what our lips woulC
say and what our hands would do.
There was, thank God, no hesita
ton. There was no murmur. Like
the eagle soaring from it's aerie
America gathered her brood beneath
her wings and spread her pinions or
the winds of the sea.
There is no parallel 10 this in ali
! history. Never before in all the rec.
ords of the human race is it set down
that whole people took upon them
selves a task that was at once sc
bloody and so great, and, at the same
time, so utterly unseltish.
For, history will not say of us that
it was alone because the Lusitania
was sunk and other brutal impudences
committed against US by Germany
that we went to war, serious as those
outrages were.
No, it was higher resolve and for
far more sublime purpose that
America unsheathed her sword.
Some brave spirits in France had
once come to our help. At later
time brave spirits in Russia did the
same. But we have gone to war not
only for France and for Russia, but
for old friends and sometimes foes
alike.
1t is for freedom, for the liberty of
all men, for big and little peoples ev-
erywhere that they may have their
places in the sun and live in peace
and plenty, that America has gone to
war.
".
And it is for these things, and
more, that they have died who are
now on the list of our dead. Unspeak-
ably tender in our hearts is the
thought of them. There is no music
in the world to voice the love we bore
them. There is no magic of brush or
pen to vision our memories of them
as they Jared forth in their strength
and beauty to lie down with death.
Did Abraham more than this that
we have done at Gods command?
And they came TO the place which
God had told him of; and Abraham
built the altar there, and laid the
wood in order, and bound Isaac, his
son, and laid him on the altar, upon
the wood"
Wherefore, it was also written that
in our seed "shall all the nations of
the earth be blessed"
Well may they rejoice who have
borne these sons, the living and the
dead. And we'll may they be COM
forted whose sons shall not awake
again on earth till the last trumpet
blows.
For, it is not worth while for any
one to have lived at all, unless, by
their lives they have made the world
a better place than they found it.
Thrice more blessed is the world to-
day than it was before because of
these lads whose names are on the list
of the dead, and because of the moth
ers and fathers who bore them.
Grieve not for those who died. All
is well with them. They bivouac with
Peace. There are no burdens now
for their shoulders. Their tasks are
done.

this, that a man lay down his life

PANIC IN HUNLAND

Stories of internal trouble and fail
ing powers have been sent out of
Germany with a view to create over
confidence and cause a relaxation of
effort in the Allied ranks, but the ac-
counts of the present feeling in that
country can hardly be discounted in
the same way. The evidences of deep
encouragement, even widespread pam
ic, are too many and too convincing.
The war lords exhort the people to be
calm and assure them that no real
danger exists, but the newspapers are
incidentally letting the cat out of the
bag in spite of official demands for
discretion and bold front. Even a
high army officer, Won Salzmann,
writes for publication, that "a peace
dictated by the British means that the
Fatherland will be wiped off the map,
that its sons, rich and poor, will be
reduced to slavery and beggary." And
the Cologne Gazette incautiously OBJ
serves: "Only deaf people fail to grasp
the fact that if we lose this war we
shall become the slaves of our enc
mics; therefore, we have no choice
we must go on"
The evident object of all this is to
brace the Germans up to desperate
struggle and it may hold the MAORI
ty of them by their very fears. They
naturally judge the Allies by them
selves and expect that all they have
done to Belgium will be done to Ger
many--unless they fight so desperate
ly that the wearied Allies will agree
to peace short Of such elimination.
In all this urging one sees the fear of
the leaders that the "yellow streak"
in Germany will bring about COL
lapse long before the fortunes of war
call for complete surrender.

Receipts and Comparisons

CATTIE.-The aggregate of re-
ceipts, so far this week, has shown a
slight falling off, compared with the
same time last week, yet the volume
of supply has been ample to meet the
most urgent needs of the trade, and
considerable irregularity in the trad
ing basis has been the result Of the
goodly run. Particularly has this
been the case with butcher stuff, can
ners, cutters, bulls and mixed cattle,
the bulk of which were of the usual
fall varieties, of medium grass flesh,

weeks total has consisted of those
varieties, and there has been quite a
few Southern classes of common year.

the bulk of the sales on those varie-
ties range from 25c to SOC per cwt.
lower than the corresponding time last
week. There has been comparatively
few good fat beef cows and Northern
butcher cattle available, and while
sales of those offered uniformly steady
they lent little benefit to the general
market on she stuff.
Steer supply from stocker to beef
grades has been moderate, but even in
these classes, quality was sadly def
cient, not only the quality from
breeding standpoint among thin cat
tie to go back to the country, but as
well as the choice to prime finish in
flesh for killers. Nevertheless, trad
ing has been held generally steady for
the week, and this can be attributed
to large extent to the inquiry for
stockers and feeders, and also the out
let through Eastern killers for cheap
priced beef, which has all tended to
help the maintenance of the market
on the poor classes available, at steady
prices.
HOGS.-High priced feed has de-
veloped very strong tendency among
feeders to liquidate their hogs in free
manner, and the result of this cir
not only the supply show
ing fairly good volume from day to
