~THRE5HER'S REPORT

Pursuant to requirements OF the
State Council OF Defense, the thresh-
ermen Of the county made reports OF
grain threshed by them to the County
Council Of Defense on blanks furnish
ed by the state.
The federal government through its
county emergency demonstration
agent also requested the threshers to
make reports of oats, wheat, and bar
ley threshed on blanks furnished by
the federal government.
The orders requiring W. sets OF re-
ports to be made have resulted in con
siderable confusion and annoyance to
the threshermen as we'll as TO those
who received and compiled the re-
ports. - vo"ld seem that this was
a duplication of effort, and that one
agency might have served for both
state and nation.
Ninety per cent Of the threshers
have been prompt, painstaking and
efficient in making out and mailing
reports. The remaining ten per cent
have sent partial reports and these
only after persistent urging by send
ing out letters and by other methods.
The county agent, Mr.. Finley, will con-
tinue his efforts with the delinquents,
and thus make the reports of wheat,
oats and barley even more complete
than they now are and he does not
propose to relax his labors until every
man has reported.
The work of the chairman Of the
County Council of Defense, who re-
ceiyed and compiled the reports for
the state, terminates with this report,
the State and County Councils of De-
Tense having been abolished by proc
lamation of the governor, issued on

1T MUST NOT BE

From authentic reports we learr
that the chamber OF commerce of the
city of Cologne, one Of the Rhine
cities now held by the army OF occu
patton, has adopted resolutions ex
pressing the following hope. that de-
struction Of French and Belgian in
dustries would allow a rapid recovery
OF German commercial power" And
these are the same people who ask
and pray for mercy, for food and for
favors at the bands Of those whom
they have outraged, violated and dc.
spoiled during more than four years
These bestial calculators want a peace
that will give them an advantage OF
a good start over the victims Of their
brutal crimes. This was behind the
plan Of the Hun for the destruction of
the industries OF France and Belgium.
This is why he stole their machinery,
their trade secrets and abducted their
workingmen and artisans. This Is the
why and wherefore behind the whole
sale and nasty murders Of the past
four years. And now that all this has
been accomplished the Hun is ready
to stop war and step back into the
same place In the commercial life of
the world that he once held and fll
the markets OF the earth with Ger
man made goods, made on stolen ma
chinery. out OF stolen material and
by stolen workmen. This infamous
and dastardly calculation must be real
lied by the Americans who sit in
judgment and II must be remembered
when the sentence Is passed, a SEN
tence not only on the actual murder
ers, but a sentence which shall en-
brace those commercial pirates who
are back OF the crimes and who in
stigated them. Shall the Allied ma
tions permit Germany to start into
world commercial competition on an
equal footing with these victims OF
her greed? Shall the race In CONNER
cial and industrial activity be started
with Germany on ven terms with
those of her victims? Shall this care
fully, deliberately and wantonly plan
ned brutality be allowed to triumph?
II 1t is, then we who agree to 1t, are
participants with her in the foulest
crime that the centuries has seen per-
petrated. This Is a grave menace, as
well to our national honor, as to the
prosperity of our allies.
