TORTURE FOR AMERICANS.
Treatment Ordered to Be Given Our
 Men Captured by Germans.

With the American Army in France, Jan. -(Delayed) .- American officers at the front have come into possession of documents said to have been taken from Ger mans opposite our positions and which deal with the treatment to be accorded prisoners.
 The document says that all pris- oners, including commissioned and non-commissioned officers, after being captured are to be kept in cages for four days without food and compelled to stand all the time. After the four days period only small quantities of foed are to be given.
 Altho definite information on the point is lacking some American officers today expressed the belief that the order resulted from the difficulties the Germans probably experienced in extracting informa- tion from the first American pris~ oners captured in November Such treatment Of prisoners it is felt, could be designed only to make them give up military information.

 BUILD DIPPING VAT
II. R. Getz Offers Suggestions as to Necessary Organization, the Cost and W0rL-Blue Prints of
 Plans Free.

To the People of Polk County:
 In answer to the question: Our community wants to build vat but we are at a loss as to how to get together and siart the following suggestions are made:
 The most successful associations are formed along such lines as these 4 community meeting is caliei and officers elected. 4 to- cation is then chosen, an effort be- ing made 10 secure one centrally situated and with some natural ad- yantages, such as level land with water handy and not too far off the public road Nats can be placed on the side of a hill but such lo- cations have certain disadvantages. Broadmindedness should govern in choosing a location.
 The materials necessary to build the vat costs about Si5. It requires 10 sacks of cement, which now costs about 70 cents per sack net; about 1000 feet of lumber and a little hardware, such as nails and hinges. This will not build the pens. Usu- ally these are built of rails, but a board fence is tighter and more satisfactory Funds to make these purchases are usually secured by assessing each member $500, which generally gives a surplus and a con- tract is let for the concrete work. Each member agrees to do his part of the necessary work. Usually the use of a team one day is considered equivalent to the work of two men for a like period.
 The business manager can de- termine the amount of hauling and other necessary work, learn who is best equipped to do each part of the work and let each man take care of the work he is best fitted for. When properly planned it is a small affair for a community to build a dipping vat
 After the completion of the vat and pens, funds remaining in the treasury are prorated to the mem bers according to the amount paid in.
 Prints will be furnished free of charge and all personal assistance possible. will be given.

Half Your Living Without Money Cost.

We are all at a danger point. On the use of good common sense in our 1918 farm and garden operations de- pends prosperity or our going broke.''
 Even at present high prices no one can plant all or nearly all cotton, buy food and grain at present prices from supply merchant on credit and make money. Food and grain is higher in proportion than are present cotton prices.
 It's a time above all others to play safe; to produce all possible food. grain and forage supplies on your own acres; to cut down the store bill.
 A good piece of garden ground. rightly planted, rightly tended and kept planted the year round. can be made to pay nearly half your living. It will save you more money than you made on the best three acres of cotton you ever grew!
