tion incurred, not matter how long 1t may take.
 The government which rcpudiates its debts will speedily find .tself ground between the upper anu neither milStones of national and international wrath and tn danger of destruction as a national entity. Only in the event of their war debts reaching such enor- nous figures that the interest there on exceeds the national income pro- ducing possibilities will any of the entente powers consider repudiation.
 1t is idle to speculate where the war debts will end but it is hardly proba- ble that any of the warning nations win find themselves so deeply bur dencd with indebtedness that their in- comes will be overtopped by the inter est on the public debt. Even in the event of such q situation arising, they can still repudiate the interest debt leaving the principal due and payable as fast as funds can be derived hy tax ation.
 An interesting feature about the na- tional indebtedness of nations is brought out by the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It is pointed out that the only two countries on the face of the globe which have made a practice of i paying In the piping days of peace the 1 indebtedness incurred in times of 1 stress are the United States and Great ! Britain
 When our civil war ended the gov enment's debt was two billion seven hundred million. Twenty five years i later, the two billion had been wiped
 out, leaving only the seven hundred
 million. When the Napoleanic war in
 1912 ended the British debt was four billion. four hundred million dollars Eighty five years later it was three billion four hundred million and that too, in spite of the fact that in the interim one billion eight hundred mill l lion had been borrowed The real re- duction, therefore, during that period was three billion. one hundred million 1 dollars. While Great Britian and the United States were redeeming their obligations on this tremendous scale, all the other great countries of the world were piling up q new debt.
 When the present war broke out. France had a larger debt than any other country. Her credit. however, was excellent and her debt was owed i almost entirely to her own people, from whom she was able to borrow at a low rate of interest. And well might her credit have been good In 1 the one hundred and twenty five years ! from the outbreak of the Revolution to the beginning of the present war she had no less than nine different c1anges Iof government Cpnsa'ate, tompire. lllOIltlCllE, f'pH If)H HlDll;uCnN.

canal being put through the place
during the past season our crops were
greatly interfered with by the lack
Of water. The wheat and corn did not
amount TO much on that account, and
the lack Of water was also very no
ticeable with the alfalfa, although we
secured five crops during the season,
all OF them light, however. The

they also were greatly affected by

right away, and long before the first

terrible cough, and by taking a little

both have warded off every bit OF

OF this week he got his feet so wet
