To illustrate what we can do in this
country in the matter Of supporting
ourselves, we had fresh Irish poto-
toes and beans from our garden the
other day and cooked with a ham
bone that we got from Mother Sease
more than a year ago, and peaches
that we grew on the old hills down
at Jolly Street. OF course the beans
were put up last year, Tut you could
not tell them from fresh ones from
the garden. And we have lots more
peaches from the old hills that we
put up last year and we gave all the
children a half dozen." jars each. OF
course. you know who we mean by
we in this case.
And: beets and jellies and preserves
and tomatoes to- last beyond the next
crop and we are no farmer either.
There are lots of people who are in
much better position to nave lou
of home raised food. and we better
get busy this year, while the food is
here, and while we can. make it. We
only mention this to show what can
be done, and we are not half pre-
pared to do it. We could get home
raised potatoes now il we only would,
we mean the people who know how
to grow them Instead we are buy
ing them.
Now is the time to prepare to make

have it when the winter season comes

VISION.

Somehow we like that word. Es-
pecially when used in the prophetic
sense, and which permits you to see
things beyond and out of the horizon
of YOUR own shadow: You remember
that David said in one of his Proverbs
that, when there is no vision the
people perish" Now, we admit that
we. do, not exactly know that we ur-
derstand just what David meant when
he wrote. that, but: it is true, that
when the people are lacking in vision
there, is something that keeps them
narrow and shortsighted i: and-ws
came near saying onesided-what we
mean is the man or the woman whose
vision is broad and wide and can taSs
in the whole situation and can see all
sides OF any question. :.
We do not agree with Dryden when
he wrote
=" Twas but a vision, and visions
are vain
We mean the real visions which
spread out in dreams, if you like,
but a vision that stretches out and
beyond selfshness sld self and, self
interest.
In these times of stress and trouo:s
we love the man or the woman who
has vision broad enough to take 10
all the people, and to make effort to
get the cooperation of all the people
in the one great object which SHOULD
engage the attention, and the united
attention, Of all our people, and that
one object is to get our people to
work unitedly and harmoniously to
win the war and bring peace once
more to the world, and, if you please,
as President Wilson says, an endur-
ing peace.
In this neck of the woods there are
TO pro-Germans and no German spies
and no slackers, unless they happen
to drop in from somewhere else, or
happen to be in'aoz!od We are all
Americans, and willing to do and dare
for America, and W. want to see ali
orr people working harmoniously to-
gether in the great work which lies
before US
The more people you put to wori:
the more you are able 'to get them ie-
terested. Give every one something
to do. and it makes him feel that he
is a part, and an important part, o:
the machinery: We mean to say that
for those who happen to be in the
lead. and in authority, so to speak.
In these war times give us broad
vision, is our earnest prayer, vision
that will look out beyond and afa-.
and cause all of use to stand as one
man, and like King Agrippa, let lis
mot be. disobeaient to the heavenly
vision"

recent issue a very important article
from DR.. Gustavus Werber and we
trust you read it. For several months
last fall and winter he was personally
engaged in this work on his farm,
and we predict if he can secure the
proper support that it will bear
abundant good fruit in the future. For
we believe he proposes a great WORK
for the preservation and utilization
of the resources and the advantages
that we have given US in lavish sup.
ply by nature if we could only be
! induced to realize the truth and 40
our part to husband these resources
| and turn them to the advantage of all
mankind.
It is probable that many of those
, who have observed DR.. Werber's work
regard it as only a fad and of 20
practical use. But if he can get loyal
and willing helpers he may yet open
their eyes and point the way to better
things.
CAS- light as air" is an exploded
myth, for it is about the most. solid
thing on the earth, and is contribut-
ing more force than anything else in
this world war to hurl men off the
earth. For if it were not for the gu
! perior wisdom Of Germany in extract
ing nitrogen from the air she would
have been forever beaten in the first
two years Of the war. IN the nrst
year of the war, Germany used more
than seven hundred and fifty thousand
tons of nitrogen in her explosives and
this amount is being constantly i'll
creased, and with no way of stopping
her, since the air contains more than
four hundred trillion tons Of nitro
gen.
So why not go to work to change
the natures OF men in using nitrogen
as DR.. Werber proposes as the surest
way to forever put stop to the way
the Kaiser is using it?
Gen. VIM. C. Gorgas says DR.. Wer-
Der is advancing new thought which
the world has got to reckon with IN
the future, and the whole world
knows that Gen. Gorgas is safe man
to follow. General Leonard Wood
tells us he has no hope that we can
avert wars until we change the na-
ture of man. And this is the end and
aim of DR.. Werber's work,-to store
more nitrogen in the soil which is ii
turn stored in the legumes which fur
nish an ideal source of nitrogen for
the human organism which lessons
the necessity for red meat and vii!
eventually bring the world to accept
the teaching of the Apostle ames.
first pure then peacable. And the ma
tions which will prove fit to survive
must inevitably come to recognize
that death comes from internal pro-
cesses of disintegration which are far
more deadly in their results than ex-
ternal violence, hence more nitrogen
in the soil and less in munitions os
war.
The world usually suffers very Sc
we're labor pains in the birth of new
ideas, but anything Of such manifest
advantage to all men deserves immed-
late recognition and no uncertain
appreciation. And we have no hes
itation in saying that DR.. Werber has
no need or desire to sell society e
gold brick.
