Lest We Forget

1t Mr.. Wilson's new day is not to
be cloude1 II the very moment of its
dawn there must be no miSunder-
standing OF the political attitude of
Germany at the present moment, and
no being deceived by the new cry of
Kamerad!" in the shape of the en-
aetmcnts OF democratic comedies and
the appeal to the emotions for a
starving ration. -Four long and
weary years the allied people have,
in the expressive phrase of Mr..
Lloyd George, been feeding giants
with teaspoons. At the present mo-
nent the food question is serious
ono in France, in Italy and in the
United Kingdom. And now Germany,
where thcl@ is no reason to believe
that food is any scarcer, raises a
special plea for special consideration.
Unfortunately for Germany the
worlds memory is not so short as it
night DC. People do not forget that,
at the time when there was no par
ticular wait in Germany, the sympa-
.hies of the american people were APP
pealed - to subscribe to funds for
he procuring of milk for German ba-
bieS, in order to prevent the horrors
Of infant mortality Now, in the first
place, this was the country which had
refused to make any concession of a
similar nature to- the children in Paris
Turing the great siege, in a moment
of real ard terrible necessity; and,
in the second place, the money OBJ
tanned for this purpose was never
meant to BE- so expended, but to be
used in destroying the factories of the
very people from whose charity it was
raised, and tor suborning newspapers
and procuring tools for the commits
sion OF Cutrages throughout the
country ia which it was subscribed.
Therefore, it is not to be wondered
at that ord Robert Cecil explains
that there is no reason to believe that
the food conditions in Germany are
worse thar elsewhere; while Mr. Lam
sing sternly requests Germany to give
up special appeals to the United
States; the object Of which, though
he does net say so, is obviously to
create discord in the allied ranks,
Iand to address these appeals through
the proper diplomatic channls, to
the whole body of the Allies.
1t is, inded, so plain that the way
I,faring MAJ though fool may read
it, that the German peace offensive
has merely assumed a new phase
The object now is to cause dissen-
sion among the Allies and to create
a sympathy for defeated and suffer
ling nation. But supposing Germany
were suffering the pangs of hunger
today, whose fault is it that there
| is shortage of food in the world:
| Whose submarines sunk the grain
ships in thu Atlantic? Whose az
Iniles have made the gardens OF
Northern France into: waste places.
Whose hands cut down the orchards
poisoned the soil, fouFed the water
courses and burnt the, villages? The
men who found Northern France one
of the fruitful provinces of the earth
land have LETT it parched anc
blackened desert, now come forward
and ask lie nations who have suffered
such treatment to supply food tt
them,s when in their own fields ant
provinces not a haystack has bccl
fred and rot fruit tree destroyed

SCOUTS KEPT BUSY.
British Boys Realize They Live

Patrol Leader Gtiaes and Pirate Have
Adventures Which Would Seem

Within As minutes Pirate returned
in company with the rocket apparatus
and its crew.

Griggs Indignantly, Eat first they

rescue to the alternative aid brought

The Deer Shortage

Old hunters say that the reason for
the shortage of deer during the pres
ent open season is because of the ex-
treme cold weather of last winter
which caused the death of many of
the animals because of exposure and,
perhaps, because of scarcity of the
usual winter food But a compare
lively small number of the animals
are being shot, and it is probable that
the reason advanced by the old hunt
ers is correct.-Barle Times.

foot, Twin Falls, Burley and Rupert
Mr.. Rinehart has been securing the
best advice available and writes as
follows:
Judging from the information
that I have been able to secure the
sugar beet tops should be piled eight
to nine feet deep if best results are
to be obtained. Good results may be
secured, however, with the piles only
five to six feet deep. Where only a
small amount Of livestock is to be
fed it is suggested that the pit or
trench be made narrow in order to
reduce the amount of tops exposed
at one time.
"Where straw is available it seems
a preferred method to mix layers Of
straw through the tops in about the
proportion of one part of straw to
twenty of beet tops. The straw re-
duces the 3washiness' Of the silage,
overcomes the laxative effect, and
results in making good use of the
straw itself. Salt at the rate of five
to ten pounds per ton of tops is ad-
vised by the larger number of men of
experience. Several methods of pack
ing are used.
s'The pits are made open at the
end so that the wagons can be driven
through. In order to prevent the
formation of ruts the same tracks
are not used in succession. A report
not as yet well authenticated, indi-
Gates that if the tops are allowed to
remain in piles in the field during
cold, damp weather, mold may form
and cause serious losses of livestock"
