The farmer can win this war.
Only by famine does the Kaiser hope
to conquer famine by force of the sub
marine If the submarine brings Eng:
land and France to their knees, beg
ging bread in the humiliation of de.
feat, the Kaiser will then turn upon
the United States.
England and France can be saved
from famine by the farmers Of the
United States and Canada in spite OF
the submarine, if they will The sub.
marine will sink food that England
and France so sorely needs but the
submarine can not sink enough to
starve our allies, if the farmer of the
United States will raise maximum
crops, raise every pound and save ev-
cry pound of foods he possibly can.
It's a fight, therefore, between the
farmer of the United States on the
one hand and the gaunt wolf Of the
Kaiser, famine, on the other hand.
If the American farmer can raise
enough TO allow for the submarine
toll and enough more food to place
"over there" to feed those who are
fighting, then victory is ours.
But it's narrow margin. The
whole world is on the verge Of star

awaken to a serious realization that
this is no small task, in fact, It IS
only fighting chance.
If the American farmer will only
realize this, then he must recognize
that every blow he makes must count
for the utmost. Maximum. yields
must be striven for as never before.
This is no time to leave anything
unemphasized that will count for
greater yields. Efficiency must oper-
ate with every act on the farm from
breaking the soil deeply to garnering
the crops with saving hand.
Thorough preparation of the seed

Of labor saving farm machinery.

To the Farmers
of Edgefeld
County

We are Jobson System dealers
for this county, and as such are ac-
lively engaged in bringing the COM
mon serse methods of easier and
more profitable farming to every
nook and corner of our section.
These methods and the remarka-
BILE Jobson plow have received the
endorsement of great Agricultur-
lists, State officials and practical
farmers all over the country, and
these benefits are being extended to
all parts of tie country at rate
that certainly proves its merit and
genuine, practical advantage. No
farmer can afford to overlook the
opportunity of thorough investi-
CATION of this system before going
further with his spring work.
The Jobson plow has no equal in
preparing the land (late or early,
wet or dry) before planting, and it
is also of extraordinary value in
working crops and in getting ready
for second crops. In fact, it Is
something the farmer needs every
month in the year. A little investi
CATION demonstrates this beyond
doubt.
Call on US for literature and full
particulars. We're here to serve
you. Jobson plows now in stock.

DOUBLE CABINET
SPEEDS UP nation
White House Conferences PrOduC-
tive Of Excellent Results

Washington, April 8.--Tne nation s
war making agencies have achieved
close harmony of action in the last
two weeks through the Wednesday
conferences at the White House which
officials said today had speeded the
prosecution Of the fight of the point
OF greatest efficiency yet reached.
The president now has virtually
two cabinets, the first of which ad-
Vises him on diplomatic and political
questions, while the second discusses
with him the problems of modelling
the industry powers of the nation,
without which there could be no war.
The war cabinet" or industrial cab
met, at no time has touched on po-
htical questions. All of the war
cabinets work has been to further
the preparation of America to throw
her entire resources into the scale
against the Hun. SO important has this
work become that prosecution of the
war, except for the direction Of tha
actual military and naval operations,
has been entrusted to the little group
of six men representing the factor,
necessary to provide the fighting men
with all they need to bring victory as
quickly as possible. First results of
this cabinets work have become APP
parent in the decision of the war in
dustries board to give preference in
delivery Of 100 per cent. requirements
of shipyards for steel.
Food problems have come in for
much considera ton by the war cab
met.
Domestic affairs closely related to
production OF war materials also
have come up for discussion, one Of
the most important being the supply
ing Of fuel to New England.
Altogether the result Of the war
ca binets work was described today
by one of its members as having
been to enable all of them to keep

NEW REVENUE DISTRICT
Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper Favors Separate District
for State of Connecticut.

Washington, April S.-The size and
Importance of the internal revenue
district of Connecticut would be very
much reduced if a proposition now
pending before the house committee
on ways and means should become
law It is to create II new internal
revenue districts, one of them being
the district of Rhode Island. AS that
state is now a part of the Connecticut

Walsh of Connecticut would have q
good deal less to do.
II is understood, however, that the
bill is approved by Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue Roper. It is being
considered by a sub committee of the

will probably act upon it favorably,

It has three heavy outer soles cut
from the best portion of the hide. The
leather of the uppers is tanned and
stuffed in a more thorough way" than
ordinarily. 1t has steel toe plates and
heel plates. Instead of being stitched.
it is metallic fastened" The soldiers
are using up shoes at the rate of
three million pairs a month and it has
become necessary to restrict the sale
of sole leather for civilian use.
For the first time in the history of
the Army, raZors are being issued to
the troops. They are safety raZOrs,
and new blades are furnished as they
are needed. The Army has learned
by experience that a clean shave and
a good appearance sustain the morale
of the men.
If you find it impossible to buy
soluble coffee, thick-sOled shoes, or
your accustomed safety-razOr blades,
it is because the Army needs them.
These are little things But as the wit
has said: Perfection is an affair of
little things, yet perfection is not a
little thing" The showing which our
troops have made in France is large
" due to that efficient foresight of the
military authorities which has not
overlooked even the lemon drop as an
aid to victory

SMALL THINGS THAT ARE VITAL

Peaches, apricots, prunes, plums,
olives, dates, cherries, Brazil nuts,
hickory nuts, walnuts, butternuts-
surely you have eaten some of them
lately. What have you done with the
stones, pits and shells?
If you have saved them carefully
so that you can give them to the Gov
ernment to use in making carbon for
gas masks, you can add to your feel
ing that you are actually helping to
win the war. If you threw them
away. haven't you a haunting, asham-
ed thought in the back of your brain
that you are not doing all you can
to help our boys who are sacrificing
their all for the cause of democracy
and liberty while we remain in COM
parative comfort at home?
The Government is crying for fruit
stones and pits and nut shells at the
rate of 100000 pounds a day, while
only about one-third of that amount
is being supplied. The next time you
have an impulse to throw away a
basket of walnut shells or a pile of
peach stones or any kind of shell or
stone that is needed by the Govern
ment, remember that you may be
throwing away the life of some one
who is near and dear to you.
Don't throw them away. Save ev-
cry one and, when you have collec-
ton, take them to one of the recepta-
cles provided for the purpose and they
will be made into life-saving carbon
to protect our soldiers against the
poisonous gasses of the enemy.

least the Citizens Committee makes

least the Citizens Committee makes
none
The members of this committee
whoever they may be, are clever
enough to make capital of the wave
of patriotism now rampant in the
country, by labelling the amendment
un-American. They forget, however,
that enveloped in the surge OF this
patriotic torrent, the citizens of Mis-
souri, are yet of the old show me"
type, the conservative type that VIII
not be swept off their feet by every
passing flood.
Instead, as behoOves good Missou-
rians,-we might say, good Americans,
except that it would be making cap
ital of our patriotic feeling, the pro-
cedure objected to in the above-men-
toned article-the citizens of this
state will consier the matter of state
wide prohibition and vote on it as
they. in their honest convictions, see
fit.
Individual liberty and self-deter-
mination are terms which are being
too lightly and prOmiscuously used
these days. Every one who has an
idea and wants 10 get it through,
says the opposition strikes at every
principle of individual liberty and
elf-determinatiOn. But, and here is
the weak point always in the argu-
ment. no one seems to think it neces-
sary to show just how this individual
liberty is threatened. And MissOu-
rians do like to be shown.
The native conservatism of the
sons of Missouri (wOuld it were the
tco). will save the state
from serious mistake on this score,
in their voting in November this year.

Pnhlic Information.

A
Public Information.
They are a small thing in them
selves-lemon dTops-but in the man
ner. of their handling by our War De-
partment they are indicative of much
larger matters.
When our draft armies first came
into training, it was found that the
lemon drop was a favorite candy
among the men. 1t was found also
that most of the commercial lemon
drops were made of glucose, favored
not with the fruit but with an acid
imitation. The military authorities
obtained samples of lemon drops from
practically all the candy makers in
the country. analyzed these, chose the
best one. obtained the formula for its
manufacture and distributed orders
for a supply of lemon drops to be
made according to the accepted re-
cipe
Consequently, the soldiers are now
being supplied with lemon drop that
is made of pure granulated sugar and
favored with an emulsion from the
rind of the lemon. This cOnfection
has the thirst-quenching quality of
good lemonade. And it is being used
by the soldiers at the rate of two hun
dred thousand pounds a month.
The cOuntry's supply of soluble cOf-
fee has been taken over for the use of
the men in the trenches. Expert
ments have been conducted in order
to obtain an especially good quality of
coffee, one that can be put up in stick
fern, like chewing gum. in waterproof
wrappers, and one that is easily dis
solved in cold water so that the SOL
diers in exposed posts may have their
cup of coffee without lighting a fire
that might attract the attention of the
enemy. So much of the coffee is now
called for by the army that the sup
ply is not equal to the demand. and
new companies are being formed for
its manufacture.
A new shoe is being issued to the
men that is superior in construction
and quality to any shoe produced COM
in this country hitherto"
