ABOUT CROP ESTIMATES

Until the crops have pecn fully ma

gathered, estimates as to probahlo
yields. says the manufacturers Record,

United States Department OF Agricul-
ture except on the basis. emphasized
and re-emphasized, that all of these
preliminary estimates are entirely
speculative a s TO possibilities and that
no consideration should be given to
them on any other ground.
y few weeks ago the report of the
department caused the public to look
for billion-bush wheat crop, but
ever since then weather conditions
have been knocking off millions or
bushels every day. and now 1t is a
question whether the aggregate yield
will much exceed 100000 bushels.

WAR a TERaiBLE EXPENSE

Henry Ulews annual review:
Over 50.000,O0O men are under
arms in Europe, whose energies have
been turned from production to de-
struction. Over 100000 men
have been killed or permanently in
jured since the war began, the killed
alone numbering over 100000.
over 100000 1000 have already
been expended by the nations ut
war and at present rate of rising ex-
penditure the cost will exceed $780,
600, 100000 when the end of the
fourth year is reached next August.
When it is remembered that for
every man at the front from three
to five are required at the rear for
his support, it follows that between
$50. 100000 and 200,000,000 have
been Withdrawn from the natural
channels of production into the alb
normal. No wonder the world is
facing serious economic famine,
not only in food and clothing, but
also in the innumerable materials
required for human comfort and sup
port. The loss in life and money
only partly measures the coiossai
bill for damages, which will be
crushing burden fer generations.
Such bill must also include the
setback to moral and spiritual forces,
the inheritance of bitterness. the de-
detrimental effects upon art, litera-
ture, science, education and all the
varied social and political activities
which are a part of our civilization.
These are losses that will leave their
Impress upon the nations for many
future decades.

CHARLES ALLEN FISCUS

Following is the obituary of Mr..
Fiscus, whose death and funeral we
chronicled in last weeks issue of the
Republican,:
Charles Allen Fiscus was born in
Shelby county, Iowa, August 7th,
1894, and departed from this life on
January II. 1918, at Camp Pike,
Ark, aged 23 years, months and
8 days. On SEPTEMBER 81, 1917, he
was called into the U. s. army and
remained with the same until death
claimed him. At the age of sixteen
years he obeyed the gospel of Christ
He leaves his parents, three brothers
and one sister. besides host of
friends and relatives to mourn his
departure.
Trusting in Him Who judgeth
righteously, we commend all into
the hands of our Lord and Redeem
er, trusting that our loss will be his
eternal gain.
Six soldier boy friends of Shelby
county acted as pail bearers.

ANOTHER PUZZLE

us it possible for a person TO say
something that will be lie if it is
true?"
Eyes. If liar should say, i
never told the truth in my life,' II
would be a lie il it was true
How SOP"
Because that statement would be
one instance of his telling the truth
and thus it would be false on the
face of it. And if he should say the
exact opposite, that of course would
be lie, too. But leave that suppo-
sition out of the QUESTION, for it may
confuse you. Just remember this
that if a fellow says he never told
the truth he must be lying"
But if he's lying, then he's tell
ing the truth, because his statement
would merely be another lie. So his
record wouldn't be broken after all. u
Eyes, that's true too. You see
that proves that it's impossible"
shut up! Don't tell me any more
about it. I'm going to worry all day
as it isl" Exchange.

FORMER RESIDENT BURIED

MIR. PETTY'S ADVICE

Mr.. j. II. Petty OF Elliott is one
among the best seed corn authorities
in Iowa. What he says on the sub
ject is of more than ordinary value.
He has spent many years in practical
experimentation in this BUSINESS.
'Never were conditions as serious
as We are facing at the present time
says Mr.. Petty. This l know by a
careful investigation. All corn pick
ed after October s is IN serious
doubt"
Our only hope" continues Mr..
Petty, sis to save all the 1916 corn
you possibly can, as this is strong
to grow. With 1917 corn every ear
should be tested unless it was gath
cred before October s."
This is Mr.. Petty's parting admo-
milton: IF you are not sure your
corn will grow, now is the time to
know"
Farmers are very generally aware
of the seriousness of the situation
in this respect and they are taking
steps to secure seed for planting
which will grow.

Pomeroy-One man has been ar
rested and placed in the county jail
as a result of the trouble last week
when Rev. VIM. Schumann pastor
of the German church, was forced
to leave the community.
He is Floyd Banks, who is one of
the men who insisted on Schumann' s
departure. Banks pleaded guilty be-
fore Mayor Johnson of the charge
of carrying concealed weapons and
was sentenced to serve thirty days
in the county Jail.
Nothing definite is known as to
Schumann's whereabouts. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no more
diturbance if the minister stays
away.
