year, according to its officers, and there
is every indication that its hopes will
be justified says the Kcene Sentinel.
If membership is any index Of inter-
est the increase that has taken place
in the agricultural department this
year should prove a hopeful sign. Last
year there were j23 members in this
department, which was considered
large. while this year the number has
gone up 10 nearly 500 with moro names
still coming in.
While the above is an encouraging
result of the work already ACCOMPLISHED
The officials OF the bureau feel that it
is rendering real service to its mem
bers and 20 the communtr in many
other ways. The bureau demonstrated

things il accomplished. This year its
main effort win he in the line of in
creased food production. And in this
department il is already making good
progress.
Much attention has been paid To tn,
growing OF more small grains which
had become almost extinct in this coun-
~. although they were produced here
abundautly in 1870 The farm bureau
officers realize that If the people here

winning the war more small grains
must be raised tais wear. The plans

idea IN mind. Very recently q Sl0t

LLOYD GEORGE SEE
 PEACE APPROACHING
Says That End of the Tunnel is Getting Nearer-Peace Will Be Such That No New War Threatens.

Meath, Wales, Aug. 9.-Premier Lloyd George, who came here to at tend the Welsh national eisteddfodd, is receiving the freedom of Meath to- day, declared that "the end of the tunnel" through which the allies have been travelling for four years was getting near. Mir. Lloyd George made no apology to any man, he said, for any part he has played during the war.
 And | propose to fight on to the end" he added.
 Some people had complained, con- tinued the premier, that he was too optimistic in the view he took of things.
 "I don't think 1 am," he insisted "I was not one of those who thought it would soon be over-never. thought it long job and terrible job, but 1 have always been confident we would get through, for l knew we were fighting for the right and that the God of righteousness would see us through"
 The premier appealed to his coun- trymen to put all the might of the empire into the fight, "and,' he con- tinued, i've will be through the tun- mel into the broad daylight of Gods sun again, in a land of peace, real peace, without apprehension of sinis- ter, dark, plotting forces to renew the slaughter. No, never again.
 That is why am appealing to my countrymen. Now we have confidence. We have good news. The annihilated army hit back yesterday morning at dawn. If anybody had told Luden- dorf on the 22d of March that up to the month of August he would be try ing to get his guns away from the advancing French and British armies well. l don't know German, and therefore 1 cannot tell what his an swer would be, but I believe it would be in very strong language indeed"
