that every blow he makes must count

This is no time to leave anything

Will The American Farmer
Kill The kaiser's Wolf-Famine
Chas. A. WhittIe, Editorial Manage

Chas. A. WhittIe, Editorial Manage
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 a narrow margin. The
whole world is on the verge of star
walton. II even a normal crop is pro-
duced in this country it is not going
to afford enough to feed everybody

After leaving Virgins on

when we boarded the Sunset

night and at day ybreak we pulled
into San Antonio, where our
train stopped 20 minutes.
After leaving San Antonio,
conditions we're quite different
from what we passed over the
day before.
We next made a Is minut e
stop at Del Rio, at p. m. when
we all got off and walked about
some. We made no other stops
nor did scenery and conditions
of the country change any until
just before sundown we came to i
stop at a beautiful little town.
on looking out I read Maria on
the depot, this was the town
made famous some ten years ago
when George Martin and Bing

changed trains, ana spent part

After leaving Ell Paso, we
rumbled through valleys and
tunnels and around sharp curves
at rapid clip, making but few
stops. Just before sundown,
the porter came through and
announced Columbus, next stop.
