It is well known that the evidence to

In sum, the wFo'e gigantic German

ened civilization II and democracy with
ever growing might and with ever-ex-
panding frontiers, has been abolished.

world empire which was for moment
welnigh realized, but is now and for

SO much for the material side But
there is an even more impre sive moral
aspect to the achievement of Ferd n
Foch. He has shattered the German
legend of invincibility. He has broken
the prestige of the German military
machine, which, from the victories Of
Sadowa and of Sedan to the present
hour, has weighed heavily upon the
world. A simple French soldier, the
soldier of republ can nat on, has bro
ken, smashed. utterly demolished not
alcne the German army but the legend
Of German militarism.-.

In this period Foch has accomplished
three things by three great battles. In
the Second Marne he defeated the Ger
mans, wre ted the initiative from Lu

man advance, which had lasted from
March q until July 18. In the
Third Somme he broke the German re-
sistance upon the lines of the old strug
g,es of 1916 and compelled hurried
retirement to the Hindenburg line, with
the evacuation of substant ally all of
the ground conquered in the German Of

opened on August 8; it closed in the
middle of September.

Germany.

There is gorgeous old hymn of which
one Latin title runs: Veriila regis prode-
mt Or as the English Of the lynn
book has it: "The royal banners for
ward 60" All of that ancient glory
came flooding back to US of to-day as we
walked along our avenue of the Allies"
the finest spectacle this town has ever
seen. There was a new spirit in that
pecan compact of old harmonies. If for
along one street, in the service of one
cause, above single army hnted new
meaning. Surely never before in the
histcry Of the world has there been such
a union.
Yet it was from the past that the
thrill Of the scene came Nations come

They still show traces of the newne5s,
the artifce, that is in the structure of
their governments. Our own Stars and
Stripes has modern. a constructed, ac-
cent, fer all its beauty.
Of the new-old banners we think the
flag Of Portugal was the most striking
and successful. The red waves there be-

made Portugal republic. The rest is

The fve-striped flag of China followed

Willie broke loose with horrible yell,
Drew forth his sword and began to raise
hell:
Raised quite the record amount Of it, too,
While folk debated the best thing to do
After some blunders they took up the job,
Started to pummel tho turbu ent sob.

Willie broke loose with fierce ululation
Breaking the holiest word of his nati.n,

Merely were things that were made to be
All the world shuddered while he and his
gang
Let the most sacred of pledges go hang,

The Kaiser must go. His army is

himself:
he and Two other newspapermen were
following just behind the Yank advance at
the bait of St Mihiel. when the Germans
dropped barrage almost on top of them.
The three observers dove into a dugout and
stayed there.
Presently ten German prisoners being
hustled to the rear passed that way, and.
scared by the racket of she'll fire duckcd
INTO the same dugout. The three CORE
spondents looked aghast at the ncom ng
horde in field gray. The horde looked Mt

RURAL MOTOR EXPRESS
LINES FOR MISSOURI

All county officials and good road
enthusiasts interested in the improve
ment of our public highways are
urged by the State Highway Depart
ment to cooperate with the Highway
Transport Committee of Missouri
which is under the direction of the
National Council of Defense. The
purpose of this Committee is to en-
courage the establishment of Rural
Motor Express Service" and Return
Loads Bureaus" Members of the
Committee are distributed through
out the State as follows:
A. C. McKibbil, Chairman, Jefferson
George A. Mahan, Hannibal;
E. A. King, st. Joseph;
r. T. Konger, Kansas City;
W. H. Powell, Sedalia;
Wallace C. Capen, st. Louis;
]. NJ. McAnulty, Neosho.
The active cooperation of Com
mercial Clubs is desired. The Rura
Motor Express Lines will carry farm
orchard and garden products to the
cities and towns and will bring bach
to the farm merchandise purchased
by producers. The principal object Of
this is to enable the farmer to spenf
practically all his time on the farm
producing food during the presen
national crisis. The Return Load
Bureaus, established in towns of ont
thousand over, will provide clearing
houses for retail merchants and whole
salers, SO that truck delivering pro
duce in the city will be provided witt
a return load. Thirty-five of the lead
ing cities of the United States have al
ready organized Return Loads Blu

NEED FOR MORE LIVE STOCK

That the production of livestock in
the United States is not only necessary
but will be profitable for some time to
come, according to E. A. Trowbridge
of the University of Missouri College
of Agriculture, is evident from infor-
nation supplied by the Food Admin
istration.
The Central Powers were much bet
ter prepared for the war than the
Allies by having az per cent more
meat per capita. Also, the Germans
apparently captured much livestock
which made it possible for them ia
save that which they had at home.
Belgium, Serbia and Humans, are
practically exhausted of livestock re,
sources. The Allies have decreased
their herds and fiocks 5,787 900 head
while the Germans have reduced theirs
about 100000 head-only a little
more than one-third. Neutral nations
show a livestock reduction of nearly
| / 500, 900 head. European loss, there
| fore, exceeds 65,000.000 without con
sideration of Austria, Turkey an'
Russia. The Food Administration es
Inmates the total European decrease
at 100,O00,O00 head.
The total number of sheep, hog
and cattle in this country is 1877 900,
600, according to best estimates. Whel
this is compared with depletion o
100 900 900 of Europe's fiocks an
herds it appears that Europe has al
ready lost more than half as man,
meat animals as there are in the Unit
ed States today.

SILAGE RELIEVES
PASTURE SHORTAGE

Too much dependence has been put
upon grass alone for summer feeding,
while to little attention has been given
to a reserve supply of feed for periods
of short pasture. Almost every year
there is period during the summer
when the pasture is short. Young
cattle are checked in growth and
dairy cattle decline in milk flow from
lack of feed.
On farm where much stock is kept
it is practical to keep two silos, one
for winter feeding and smaller one
for sumner feeding. If the season Il
such that the silage is not needed III
can be kept over until the next year
Or, if the silage is practically used
the silo can be refilled in the fall Tn
| reason that the summer silo shoult
be small is that during the warn
weather a deeper layer of silage ha
to be taken off than in the winter Il
prevent spelling.
C. H. Eckles of the University G
Missouri College of Agriculture sug
gests that for herd of 20 to 30 an
imals a silo IA feet in diameter is larg
enough for winter use, while one l
fleet is ample for summer. The sum
mer silo makes it possible durln
times of temporary feed shortage t
keep large amount of stock, and t
MAINTAIN it in better condition.

HOW TO PROTECT
cows FROM FLIES

1t is questionable if it is worth
while to spray cows to protect them
from flies. The continued use of any
spray gums up the skin until the ami
NAL suffers more from this than the
flies, unless she is washed once Or
twice each week. The amount of milk
produced is not appreciably increased
by spraying cows, but the greater
comfort in milking may be sufficient
to pay for the trouble. 1t is gene
rally more convenient and more sat
isfactory to purchase some of the pre-
pared fly repellents than to get for
mulae filled. C. II. Eckles of the
University of Missouri College of Ag'
riculture mentions that two formu
las that have been used with som,
success are
Fish oil / gallon, oil of pine tai
2 ounces, oil of pennyroyal ounces
kerosene IL pint.
2-Fish oil / quart, petroleum
quart, carbolic acid ounce.
These mixtures, like the ready
mixed ones, are applied most advan
tageously with hand spray pump
The spray is generally applied once
day, Just before milking in the eve
ming. If flies cause sores on the ud
der, the repellent may be applied t
them.

REHABILITATION
OF OUR SOLDIERS

The United States Government is
not going to be content with merely
re-educating and rehabilitating its
soldiers who have been disabled by
wounds, and fitting them for useful
and gainful occupations; it is not go
ing to leave them to shift for them
selves, but will exert an active con-
tinuing interest in their welfare.
This does not mean that the Gov
eminent is to coddle them or. trea'
them as weaklings, but it is going to
take an active interest in securing
them work, and in other ways en-
deavor to make up to them the op,
portunities and advantages they los'
BY reason of the wounds received ii
fighting their country's battles.
Every Liberty Loan Bond and ev
cry War Savings Stamp purchased
aids in this work.
