Water System For Farm.

No convenience adds more to the

of running water. Many farmers

realize its value, but think that it

looking the fact that there is a Sue

which is in the reach of every farm

What We Fight For.

The high aims of America and
her allies are well expressed in
President Wilson's greetings to
France on Bastile day.
AS France celebrated our Fourth
of July, so do we celebrate her
Fourteenth, keenly conscious of a
comradeship Of arms and of pur-
pose of which we are deeply proud.
The sea seems very narrow to-day,
France is so close neighbor to our
hearts. The war is being fought to
save ourselves from intolerable
things, but it is also being fought
to save mankind. We extend our
hands to each other. to the great
peoples with whom we are associat-
ed; and TO the peoples everywhere
who love right and prize justice as
a thing beyond price, and consecrate
ourselves once more to the noble
enterprise of peace and justice, re-
alizing the great conceptions that
have lifted France and America
high among the free peoples Of the
world. The French flag flies today
from the staff of the White House,
and America is happy to do honor
to that flag"

it that isn't directly wholesome and
If 1t is put Oh and carried out in
sincere way, we dou't believe the
time will be far off when every pro-
& ressive farmer in the state will be
fighting for the privilege of painting
the sign of the Red Ball" on his
,barn-fOr it will be notice to the
W hole World that here lives a real
farmer and before long, people
travelling across the state in passen-
ger trains will judge the different
communities through which they
pass by the number of RED Balls"
they are able to count out of the
train windows. If there are those
who are afraid of caste" and
class" let them remember that
we can stand a pile of that kind of
caste which gives better soil fertili-
ty, better live stock. better looking
farm premises and fences and farm
homes where some of the drudgery
is lifted from the frail shoulders of
the accomplishing housewife who
zoo often is beat and broken before
her time.
And then too, when a RED Ball
Farmer" gets ready to sell his farm
don't you think it will bring bet
ter price? Would it not, if the
DEGREES of the plan were strictly
enforced, stand for a farm whose
soil had been made rather than
mined" to death. For years there
has been a crying need of more
pride in the great avocation OF
farming and we know of no better
way to make Smith and Brown
wake up than when neighbOI
Jones is given the right to paint
the sign of the Red Ball" upon his
barn and should the barn be a
little out of date or dilapidated, nc
doubt Jones will try to rake up
enough coin to build a new one al
together-but it is what Jones will
have to do and keep on doing to
get and keep the sign of the Red
Ball" that will count.

shop or a foundry and got them to
make him up lot of Legion of
Honor decorations and he always
kept his right hand coat pocket
full of them and whenever he came
across or heard of a chap VINO had
fought like the Devil, he pinned one
of the trinkets onto the soldiers
breast. Getting them in job lots,
they didn't cost very much and
they made the soldier feel mighty
proud-and after awhile he gather
ed all of these fellows up into the
"Old Guard" whose fighting prowess
will be remembered to the end of
time. If the Missouri Farmers
Assn brings a race of Red Ball
Farmers" into being. it will merely
be following in the footsteps of Ma
poleon-and at that the joke will
be on the hero of Austerlitz and
Marengo-for in this case there
won't be any blacksmith's bill to
pay and the farmer will not only
have to do all the work but furnish
the paint for the sign of the Red
Ball" to boot.

We do not think it boasting to
record the fact that not once since
the Stars and Stripes reached the
firing line have our arms failed of
success in contest with the Germans
whether in raid, in skirmish or in
battle. This does not mean i'm
munity from defeat, on occasion, in
the future, but it does mean just
that much. that so far we have not
once been whipped; and with this

will be by increasing and ever in

achievement when, with our victo.

A "Red Ball Farmer"

At the recent two days meeting
of the directors of the Missouri
Farmers Assn at the Hotel Balti.
more in Kansas City, the suggestion
was made that during the coming
winter we inaugnrate among the
membership of the Farm Clubs
what is to be known as Red Ball
Farmer" The idea is to formulate
what might be termed the Ten
Commandments of Better Farming"
and then. when one of our members
has demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the directors of his County Assn
that he is conscientiously following
and practicing these Ten Command
ments, he would be given a Certi-
ficate of Membership and allowed
the right to paint conspicuously
upon his barn the sign of the Red
Ball. red painted disc perhaps
a foot and a half in diameter, SUI
rounded by a circle of white, so that
it would stand out distinctly upon
barns which have already been
painted red.
1t is very likely that in the near
future a competent committee will
be appointed to draft the Ten Com.
mandments"-and while it is there
fore purely speculative as to what
they will be, it is not unlikely that
some of them will call for intelli
gent crop rotation and the main
tainance of soil fertility, the use Of
pure bred sires, the protection OF
all farm implements from the ele
ments while not in use. the silo

stock feeding is done, running water
in the kitchen to relieve the bur-
dens of the housewife. well painted

We mention the above possible re-
Quiremepts not because we have
any desire to anticipate the Com.
mittee but merely to give the read
er a fair idea of what will constitute

plan be put into effect.
Altogether, we heartily favor the

Fresh Meat Canned.

Fresh meat may be canned for
home use by the cold pack method.
While it may be more convenient
to preserve some meat by curing, it
is a great convenience to have the
housewife to have a few cans of
meat on hand for emergencies
Furthermore, canning offers an ex
cellent means of preserving such
meats as poultry, game birds, fish,
rabbits and squirrels. which ordi-
narily are preserved by other
means.
Canning is especially valuable in
preserving frying chickens, because
the birds can be killed at the right
stage before they become too old
or tough. The surplus of frying
chickens are usually sold at time
when frying chickens are plentiful
and the price is low, This surplus
can be canned and thus supply the
table with spring chicken out OF
season.
