THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farmer everywhere loves
peace The American farmer espe
sially loves peace. Since the dawn Of
history. the farmer has been the man
who suffered most from war. All that
ne possesses lies out Of doors in plain
sight and is spoil Of war-his house.
his grain, his livestock THE flames

every invading army are consuming
he things that yesterday represented
ais life work. and the life labors Of
past generations OF farmers.
Everywhere the farmer Is q warrior
when war Is the only tiasng which will
make and keep him free. He cannot

carrying the battle across No-Man's
Land In the last grim struggle. The
american farmer will give all that he
has and all that he Is to win this
great war against war.
This war was az FIRST hard to Under

United States. The night skies were

arm houses. No raiding parties

have met with the approval Of the for

fancieTS.
They were changed lot since they
were first eNh h!trl here. Trained on
criminals they came here vicious and
ugly, but now under the gentle and
careful handling Of our trainers and
raised in our kennels they are almost
as gentle as any Of the noted breeds.

Winthrop Rutherfurd to
Return to Dog ShOw Ring

Winthrop Rutherfurd. the noted dog
farcier and exhibitor Of Allamuchy,
y. j.. is expected to return to the show
ring as a Judge this winter II was
reported yesterday that he has con-
scented TO ofiic!ate at the annual West
minister show. which will be held in
Madison Square Garden next February.
Mr.. Rutherford is one Of the best
known fanciers in America. His spe-
cialty Is fox terriers. but he is fond Of
all breeds and knows their good and
bad points as well AS any fanCler in
the country. He Is a member Of the
Westminster Kennel club, and until
three or four years ago was often seen
In the ring. And while as judge his
decisions invariably met with the APP
prroval OF winners and losers alike
He has reputation for fairness and
ability.
The Westminster show this winter
promises TO he as successful as ever
As was the case last year the club will
turn over all Of its profits TO the Amer
lean Red Cross. While the premium list
has not been completed II IS known that
IL will contain as many trophies as In
former years. Despite the war the off,
Gals are confident that many new I'M
portations will be exhibited as we'll as
as a host Of "fiers" rom different parts
OF this country.
For the first time in the history OF
dOgdom America now leads the world in
all breeds. This IS because OF the war.
During the last four years most OF the
famous European kennels were practi-
caly wiped out and the cream of breeds
scattered broadcast. AS n result lovers
OF the different breeds are expected 10
come to this country in quest Of the fine
blood which IL concentrated here.
The Shepherds (formerly the German
Sheepdog). Belgans, Aircdales, fox ter
riers and Brussels Griffons are almost a
rarity abroad now. When hostiities
began entire kennels OF these war dogs
were turned over TO the various Govern
ments, and few are left to be returned
to their former owners. Many OF them
were killed in action and others died
from various causes In the trenches
They did yeOman work for humanity.
With the declaration OF peace hun
dreds OF fanciers will endeavor TO re-
plenish their kennels. and America is
the only country which will be able 20
help carry out their plans.
