CURRENT COMMENT
Germany Unmasks.

Why Germany refused TO the last mo
ment to state its peace terms is made
clear enough in the aims of conquest re
vealed in the German reply to Russia
Count Czernin's preliminary words were
pacific but vague, and phrases like for
chile annexation" compelled mstrust
what lies behind them Germany now
shows
The German armies are to be with
drawn from Russian territory, but only
after peace has been concluded and after
the Russian armies have been demobi.
lied. And even this promise, which with
its armies scattered Russia could dc
nothing to enforce, only applies to those
territories which Germany means to hand
back. 1t does not apply to Poland, Lith,
uania, Courland and the parts Of Estho-
MIA and Livonia which Germany wants.
As to these the German diplomats, with
sneering insolence. basing their action on
the Bolsheyk principle of freedom for all
nationalities, proposes a plebscite-with
the German army in occupation!
1t is now easy enough to understand
Count Czernin's careful phrase "forcible
annexation" Force will not be needed
with German soldiers to supervise the
election, the issue is foregone conclu-
sion. There has been no real doubt as to
German designs of conquest; they are
markedly revealed in this proposal, and it
is not surprising that the Bolsheviki
should be described as "disheartened" BY
Germany's lack of idealism Dare they
negotiate such a peace? 1t seems in
credible.-Springfeld Republican.

very necessary standpoint of dollars and
cents he began when | had carefully
outlined the situation, the farm as or
dinarily managed is a mighty poor bust
ness proposition. i admit that such a
doctrine may not be exactly popular,
but all the same there is a big element
of truth in it, The manufactures or the
merchant would be forced into liquida
ton if he were not constantly drumming
up trade twelve months in the year. But
from November until April, here you are
deliberately taking it easy, and it's q
pretty safe guess that 90 per cent OF the
farming community are doing the same.
OF course, that's your privilege, but is
it good business"
Now this question of farm manage
ment.' he continued, is bound, sooner
or later, to attract governmental at
tention to much greater extent than
ii does now. Ii our most important in
dustry is to develop as it should, there
must be more intelligent expansion
in our present system of instruction.
Gratuitous advice ON how to test the
cows, spray the orchard. or feed the
hogs is not so much needed as a good
working system in which these various
features are so arranged that they viii
produce the greatest profit. Now, for
instance, here you are with darying as
your long suit Your cows freshen in
the spring and are dried off late in the
fall. During the same period you fatten
and sell probably two lots of hogs, draw
your wheat crop TO market, and dispose
of few barrels of apples, potatoes, and
so on. Then you're ready to hibernate
until the April showers indicate that it:

DISCoURAGES THRIFT
To Use Liberty Bonds in Payment fol
Merchandise.

The practice OF accepting Liberty
bonds, which is being followed by some
merchants, tends 10 defeat the primary
object of the sale of Liberty bonds The
Liberty loan committee of New England
states that this practice discourages
thrift, increases expenditures and de-
prives the government of labor and ma
terial needed for war purposes.
1t has also pointed out that bonds ex-
changed for merchandise must in most
cases Immediately be sold in the open
market, which tends to depress the mar
ket price OF the issue and makes It less
easy to sell future issues at the same
rate OF interest,
The Liberty loan committee Of New
England, therefore, requests merchants
who are offering to accept Liberty bonds
in exchange for merchandise carefully to
consider the practice and hopes that such
offers will be withdrawn.
The government is making strong
effort to have government bonds pur-
chased for permanent investment by the
people. who are urged to pay for them
out of past or future savings. Pur-
chases thus made provide funds for the
uses of the government and. not being
expended for disable merchandise, also
effect conservation of labor and mate
rial.
The secretary of treasury writes to
the committee: Il hope that the mer-
chants of the country upon a more care
ful consideration of this subject. will
discontinue their efforts of selling mer.
and taking Liberty bonds in
payment"

few days or a few weeks supply of coal
is not sufficient. An expert student OF
the coal situation made it clear in an
article in Sundays Times that the great
difficulty lies with the large number OF
small concerns, which furnish in the ag-
gregate more than half of the nations
supply. These operators have depended
on equally small iobbers for orders and
advance capital to do business, and the
difficulties of the present situation have
put many OF the middlemen who work on
a small margin out of the game. Some
method must be worked out of financing
the weaker mining companies.
The nation will not tolerate delay in
dealing with the pressing crisis OF the
moment. But we ought to be just as in
sistent upon knowing that February and
March coal are not going to tell the same
tragic story over again.-Aew York

THE MAKING or
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit 10 the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
TO extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterlized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pa.teurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

His Brother, Albert p. Cham
berIain,

| Goochland, Va. Jan. "A case built OF
circumstantial evidence is relied on by
the state TO obtain the conviction OF DIR
Asa w. Chamberlain, accused of the muir
der of his brother, Albert p. Chamberlain
at his trial set TO open to-day in the
circuit court of Goochland county.
DIR. Chamberlain's arrest followed the
finding of his brothers body, dismem'
bered into nine parts, buried in post holes

was last seen alive at his own home four
miles away on the night of October %
DR.. Chamberlain has admitted TO the au-
thorities, il is said, that he visited his
brother that night, but he stoutly main
tanned that he had nothing TO do with
the killing.
The prosecution will try to prove by
witnesses that a quarrel over debt of
81 400 caused the killing After the
finding of his brothers body and his sub
sequent arrest, Dr. Chamberlain said he
had left his brothers home at o'clock
on the night Albert disappeared Louisa

found buried in the back yard The head

POTATO DAY EVERY DAY.
Food Administration Urges That Its Use
Become General

Washington, Jan 2-The Irish potato
on every table in America every day in
the year is the object of campaign be-
gun yesterday by the United States food
administration. Grocers will be asked to
inaugurate a Potato Day" each week,
selecting whatever day is slack in deliv
cries and making special price. Fairly
regular purchases are to be urged on
the public, so that distribution viii be
equal everywhere for the next five or six
months, relieving railroad congestion and
encouraging production OF a larger crop
next spring.
Improvements in potato growing meth
DDS are being studied by the department
of agriculture. Germany plants twice as
many potatoes as the United States and
gets more than twice as many bushels
per acre.
"Germany's wise use OF potatoes helps
her to hold out against the allies the
food administration says in urging that
the enemy's own methods be turned
against him.

We want you to know Jiffy-

it excels the old-style gelatine
desserts. 1t will surprise and
delight you.
Jiffy-Jell is an exquisite prod

atine. No sugar, no fruit need
be added. Just add boiling
water. Then add the rich fruit
flavor from the vial in each
package.
The great distinction lies in
these wondrous havors, made
from fresh, ripe fruit. They are
highly concentrated, so Jiffy-
Jell desserts and salads have a
wealth of rich fruit taste. They
come sealed in bottles - one in
each package so they keep
