The hand Of death has fallen
heavily upon Mr.. and Mrs. E. Fl.
Mitchell and the toll exacted from
the family has been appalling.
Last week we recorded the death
of their Oldest son who died Janu-
ary 81. Since then four more of
their children have succumbed to
the same disease, measles and
pneumonia.
Emmitt K, aged II years, 9
months and IA days, died Febru-
ary 8.
Donald W., aged 5 years, 2
months and % days, died Febru-
ary 10.
Elias Glenn, aged IA years, 3
months and 18 days, died Febru-
ary IL.
Lora, aged 10, died February IL.
Two were buried Sunday after
noon, one Tuesday and one Thurs
day, Rev. Sisson conducting all
the services, the remains being in
charge of Director Thurman.
No home in this community was
ever SO, rapidly visited by death as
this one, and the affiiction being
heaped upon these parents is al
most unbearable and it would seem
almost beyond endurance. The
medical attendants, trained nurse,
family, friends and neighbors have
done all that it was possible to do
and are continuing a heroic effort
to save the other three children
who are very sick with possibly
some show of recovery up to the
time we go to press.

Ban on SIaughtering Hens

Manager Johnston of the Hen
derson Produce Company, has been
notified that under a new rule of
the food commission no poultry
except old roosters, must be bought,
sold or served on the table under
penalty between now and the last
day of April. This rule is to con-
serve hens for laying more eggs,
and FOR the Matching of more chick
ems.
In connection with this order
the government officials state that
over 150,00O.0OO eggs would be
lost to the food supply should the
old practice of sending hens to
market this season be continued.
This rule is to encourage farmers
and others to keep their hens until
after the spring laying season,
thereby getting a dividend for
keeping the hens through the win
ter. 1t is pointed out that when
hen is sold for meat early in the
spring, no egg return is realized
for feeding and keeping her through
the worst months of the year.
The enforcement of this rule, as
we'll as the enforcement of all
food conservation rules in this
locality, comes under the
jurisdiction of Judge Libby, and
he expresses the hope that all will
obey the rules as near as possible
to the end that no food conserva-
ton slackers may develop in his
territory.

OF their motives. 1t will encourage
our enemies and discourage our
friends. 1t will lend color to the
contention OF the German general
staff, that the entrance of this nation
into the war will have but little eff
feet on military operations. 1t will
put arguments into the mouths of
the pro-Germans all over the United
States and assist them in their work
of stirring up dissatisfaction and TO
menting discord. 1t will tend to
hamper and embarass the admins
tration in the prosecution of the war.
The only good that can possibly
result will be that it may spell the
political death knell of the critics, as
criticism of Lincoln's war policy re-
acted upon his detractors. Men who
are always bowling about lack of
team work among their fellows are
not, as a rule, very good team work
ers themselves. Secretary Bakers
convincing reply to his critics makes
their captious censure appear pitt
fully trivial and unpatriotic

THE ROLL OF HONOR

The list of women who are doing
Red Cross work is a roll of honor,
just as much as the roster of the
young men who have joined the
colors. The idea of publishing the
list is a good one because it is just
as important for the people to know
what women are proving their patri-
otism by giving of their time to Red
Cross work, either at the headquart-
ers or at home as it is for them to
know what men are using their dol
lars in a patriotic way by buying
Liberty Bonds. The women who de-
cline to give as much of their time
as they can spare to Red Cross activ-
tiles are just as much to be con-
demned as the men who refuse to
buy their share of Liberty Bonds.
Patriotism is no longer measured
by the size of the flag people dis
play, nor by their words, but by the
sacrifices they make to help along
the war program. The boys who are
giving up everything and risking
everything for their country have a
right to know what men and women
in their home communities are back
ing them up and who are failing to
do their biz These young men are
going to scan very carefully the lists
of Liberty Bond buyers and of Red
Cross workers, and when they come
back, it is going to be very hard for
some men and women to look them
in the eyes aud answer the question;
How did it happen that your name
was not on the roll of honor?"
That is a question which every
one who shirks his or her patriotic
duty will be asked, not once, but
time and again and no evasive an
swer will or should be accepted.

ENCOURAGING GERMANY

If the news should come to the
United States that some of the
prominent political leaders of Ger
many were bitterly criticising the
management of military affairs, as
serting that the government had no
definite plan of conducting the war
and that the war department had
broken down completely, such news
would comfort and encourage the
people of this nation.
The German government has
sought to stimulate it's people to keep
on fighting by constant assertions
that the military aid which the Unit
ed State can give to the allies is a
negligible factor, that this nation
can not get on a war footing in time
to prevent the collapse of France,
England and Italy. VIII these as
sertlons be substantiated or discred-
TIED by the news that members of
congress and other prominent politi-
cal leaders are denouncing Secretary
OF War Baker and demanding that
