When Georgia refuses Paul's

strange agitator, but she ignores
his remarks and he goes, angry.
Jefferson, moved by boyish pas
sion, accuses Ford of stirring up
the negroes to vote against the
Whites. Ford tries to quiet the
excited boy, but his calmness only
tends to heighten Jefferson's ang-

service to your country the inn
portance OF which cannot be estim
ated. You are holding a salient
almost as important as Nerdun
for except as you continue to hold
it, the forces of Democracy must
fail.
HourGevernment has not failed
to realize that important fact. Ii
has outlined very definite pro-
gram for the development of coun
ty agent work by the end OF this
fiscal year that, in the ordinary
course OF things, would have re-
quired six years. For that pur-
pose, congress has placed at the
disposal of the Department OF
Agriculture millions OF dollars.
This wide and rapid develop
mcnt is military necessity be-
cause of war conditions. We need
and must have county agent III
every agricultural county in the
United States by the beginning
OF next planting season and that
means by February |.
Not all of this stupendous work
can be done by the Department
OF Agriculture unless it has the
cooperation of the agricultural
colleges and the other agencies
that are working with it. Nothing
must be left undone to speed up
the work of organization in the
counties, to get agents appointed
in the counties promptly enough
that they will be on the ground
ready to direct the efforts OF the
farmers even before the actual
planting begins,
For the county agent is the di-
recting genius in the agricultural
industry of his county. There
has rested on him always very
great personal responsibility
There rests upon him now a more
imperative public Responsibility
that he must discharge as a part
OF his duty to his country in the
time OF war. 1t is no small task
1t will require ability OF the high
est order and application OF the
closest kind.

MCFARLAND SAYS
FRENCH HAPPY
View the Future With Cheerfuiness
and Believe the Germans are
Finished Right
Now.

Lieut. Malcolm Mcfarland, military
SUPERINTENDENT of transport at La
Rochelle, France, in recent letter 10
his father, c. F. Mcfarland, makes the
following interesting comment on
events in France:
THE French are very cheerful about
the prospects and some OF the onlcers
who have been on the front for two or
three years say that the Germans are
finished right now. l certainly hope
they are right"
The spirit of the French people has
certainly changed in the last Few
weeks; they are more cordial TO us
and realize more fully what 1t means
to have a great young army to help
them out
The U. s. soldiers motto now is
Hell. Heaven or -Ioboken by Christ

behind the wonderful fighting, one to
put the Boches out of business and the
other to get home-both are good mo-

an exceedingly slim control OF the
next house if they hold their own
throughout the rest of the country.
Their leaders are confident they will.
Election of Fess of Ohio as republi-
can congressional campaign manager
is one of the sure indications as to
where the republican fight will cen
ter.
The ninth California district is an
other where the G. o. P. believes 1t

Charles H. Randall, incumbent Is,
a prohibitionist, but votes with the
democrats.
Opposed to republican claims. dem
ocratic leaders today declared they
had enough additional seats in sight
to give them a comfortable working
majority in the next congress. Demo
Gratis hope to gain one seat in Maine
where elections are held just before
those in other states. They are also
banking on half a dozen republican
losses in Indiana, Illinois and Kansas.
Possible republican gain of two
seats in Ohio is admitted by the
democrats. Both parties are going
into the campaign with an "elect us
and win the war speedily" slogan.
"a call to arms has never yet
failed the majority in war times" one
democratic leader said today.
The first statement given out by
Campaign Manager Tess dealt with
charges that democrats, including
practically all congressional leaders,
had displayed "hesitating policy in
matters and had tried to block con-
scription.

MILK FOR KIDDIES
ESSENTIAL; DEEMS
UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINS
TRAITOR, PUTS w. r. HARPER
IN CONTROL OF ICE AND
MILK IN IOWA.

J. F. Deems, United States food ad.
ministrator for Iowa, recently named
w. f. Harper of Ottumwa as chief OF
the ice and milk division of the food
administration in this state. Mr.. Har-
per has made special study OF the
milk and ice conditions in Iowa and
has been engaged all summer in so
adjusting control Of the ice business
as to secure an abundant supply at
reasonable prices for consumers, and
in conjunction with the state food and
dairy commissioner, controlling milk
supplies so that there will be no suffer
ing among Iowa babies this year for
lack Of iced milk.
Mr.. Harper has held a number OF
hearings relative to prices fixed by Ice
companies for service In this state, and
has recently established reasonable
basis of charges which has been salts
factory to consumers as well rs to
those engaged in business, the expenses
of which have been materially increas-
ed by the war.
Mr.. Harper has issued a card of in
structions to consumers which en-
bodies all the information which ex-
perts have discovered relative to the
economical use of ice. He has asked
consumers to remember that men have
been taken for United States service
in large numbers from ice companies.
During the past week six altogether
have been taken from one company.
This condition affects service and con-
sumers are asked to remember this
fact In this connection Mr.. Harper
directs the attention of the users Of
Ice to the fact that the coolest place
in refrigerator is at the bottom. This
has been demonstrated by experience.
People who put butter and milk next
TO the ice on the theory that that is
the coolest place are making mis-
take
Mr. Harper advises against the use
Of paper around ice.
Iowa people who have complaints
with respect to the practices of the
ice and milk companies may CORE
spond with Mr.. Harper at Ottumwa,
who will undertake adjustments within
the powers fixed by Food Administra-
tor Deems.

on their boasts that the United States
troop ships would be destroyed. This
pressure at home accounts for re-
ported intention of the 1eutons to go
up against the certainty of destruct-
ion of their under sea craft.
Naval experts are fully confident Of
the allied-American ability to keep on
sending troops as at present. They
have never denied the possibility of a
L boat picking off a trans port. They
do not maintain, however, that Ger
many will go up against wall OF con-
.oys and other anti-submaif ne meas
ures, which will mean that her drive
is futile.
In connection with the reported Ger
man campaign against transports. it
is recalled by naval experts that
America has transported over 1900
600 men overseas, and that the losses
have been only handful. This is TAX
en- as conclusive proof tina; the Ger
mans will fail.
