Our Land.

(Tune, "America.")
o, Lord, this nation bless;
Keep it in holiness
Ever divine.
Send angels on the breeze
When soldiers cross the seas;
o, shield them from disease,
For they are thine.
Our thankful hearts will raise
Anthems to thee in praise
In every cline.
We need thee every hour;
Lead US by thy great power;
Protect, in this dark hour,
This land of thine.
We know our cause is just
And in thy love we trust
This land to thee.
Though men face shot and she
They'll do their duty well
And nations soon will tell
They made men free. - Isabe

While Gerard was our am ,assador
in Berlin, the kaiser said b. him one
day that he would stand NJ nonsense
from America after the war.
Do you know what that means? It
means that the Germans intend to sub
jugate this country If they come cut
of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger
many to all the rest of the world un-
til the German nation is drunk with
megalomania One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing, Of
fetal view in 1903, when he wrote:
"The Teutonic race is called upon
to circle the earth with its rule, to ex-
plot the treasures of nature and Of
human power, and to make the pas
sive races servient elements in it's

Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world is lost,
and our history as one Of the "servi.
ent elements" begins. We must with
hold nothing from the support of the
war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury OF the
United States every cent we can
spare.

Safeguard Babies Lives.

The welfare of three hundred thousand
babies is the inspiration for nationwide
campaign organized by the Federal Child
ren's Bureau and the Child Welfare Com
mittee Of the Council Of National Defense.
Believing that the civilian population has
no greater patriotic duty than the safe
guarding OF the nations children, tho di-
rectors of the campaign will inaugurate a
Chill ren's Year on April 9Th, the first an
niversary of the United States entrance in
to the war.
Carefully prepared statistics prove that
three hundred thousand American children
under five years OF age die each year and
that last year fifteen thousand mothers died
needIeSsly. The purpose of the approach
ing campaign is to counteract such ruthless
sacrifice and to give every mother and
baby a fair chance at life and health.
Authorities agree that one-half OF the
deaths of infants and most of the deaths
of mothers are easily preventable. This
year, Notwithstanding the withdrawal OF
OF many doctors and nurses for war service.
it is believed that large proportion OF
mothers and babies may be saved Thus
while abroad war and death are reaping
vast harvests, on huge scale at home the
United State. is pledged to the conservation
and protection of human life.
The first feature OF the coming cam
Paign will be a national weighing and
measuring contest Every child under the
age Of five in the United States will be
weighed and measured records of the re-
suits will be reported in order to determine
what endeavors must be made in every To-
cality TO conserve the child life there. Ex-
amina IONS for the draft have resulted in
numerous rejectionS for physical defects
which might have been remeded in in
fancy or early childhood. The weighing
and measuring contest will Indicate what
the children of the country need if the men
of The rising generation are to be free from

Notice to Farmers.

The Commercial Bank of West
Liberty has ordered $50 bushels
of guaranteed seed corn for sale
to the farmers of this county at
cost and carriage. The price will
be between $500 and $3.50 per
bushel.

During the second and third

weeks feed the following mix
ture: half a pound of ground
oats, the same of wheat bran,
one-fourth of a pint of cornmeal,
the same of coarse sand, two
tablespoonfuls of beef meal, a
pint of finely cut green clover or
cabbage and enough scalded milk
to moisten the mixture. Feed
four times day.
For the fourth to the sixth
week the feed should be made as
follows: Boil a quart Of hulled
oats for an hour, add a pint of
wheat bran, a pint of beef scrap,
half a pint of fine grit and a
quart Of green clover or other
green food. Feed four times a
day.
From the sixth to the tenth
week use a mixture of one quart
Of corn meal, a pint of boiled
oats, a pint of wheat bran, a pint
of beef scrap, half a pint of grit,
a tablespco lful of charcoal and a
pint Of clover. Feed three times
a day, as much as they will eat
in ten minutes.
Do not let the ducks, young or
old, become frightened if you
can possibly help it. They are
nervous creatures. No matter
what you feed, if they are fright
ened or made to run daily, they
will not fatten.
The feed for those to be kept
for stock is the same up to three
weeks old but from that time on,
one quart Of ground feed, one
quart of bran, half a pint Of grit
and half a pint of beef scrap
should be used. Moisten with
milk, water, sour milk or butter
milk, and feed night and morn
ing. If on a free range, this i;
all they want. If not, you mus
add clover or vegetables, ant
feed three times day.
The most important thing il
rearing young ducks is the drink
ing water. 1t must be kept i
: vessels in which they can pu
only their heads. Please not
that say heads not beaks-fo
it is imperative that they shoulC
submerge the whole head il
water; otherwise the two hole
at the base of the bill, thru whicl
they breath, will get filled uE
with mash food or mud. and the
poor little creatures will be hal
suffocated, grow sick and die.
When ducks are ten or clever
weeks old they should be in con
dition for market. Early greer
ducks should weigh not more
than four and one-half pound:
while later ducks cannot be toC
heavy. AS a rule early duck:
mature very unevenly, making i
necessary to sort them over care
fully and often.
Pekin ducks will not wander
far from their night quarters
even when they have unlimited
range. They will not go far t,
seek water and contrary to tn,
t general rule, it is not necessar!
: for ducks, either old or young, t,
, have access either to a brook o
pond; simply giving them wha
water they need to drink is sui
$ ficient. The Farmers Wife.

JUST BEGINNING TO FIGHT

If you are given to nervousness when
you open your morning paper to the
headlines of the war news; If the color
of that news colors your day; if reports
of Entente successes exhilarate you
with the conviction that the Kaiser is
at the end of his rope and the rope is
alreay being noosed around his neck;
if reports of German victories shroud
you in glooms of dependency and sick
en- you with the conviction that it is
useless to resist the Prussian war ma
chine-then it is against you no less
than the British Tommies that the great
drive of the Teuton is now being made.
If all Americans were as temper
amental'' as you; as leaky of heart and
bilious of liver; as short of vision and
trepid of footstep, then the smashing
blow which the Huns are trying to land
on British in France would be as smash
ing blow to the Americans ia Ameri-
ca, thought not a hair of the head of
any American in France were harmed.

No one knows this better than the
Kaiser and his general staff, and in
that knowledge lies one of the reasons
for the present drive against Haig.
For the Kaiser and his general staff no
longer underestimate to the extent that
they formerly did the part which
America will be able to take in the war,
and it would be a telling stroke of
strategy which, while shattering some
important portion of the Allies line in
France and shocking the morale of the
British and French forces and people,
should also dishearten America and
cause her to falter and hesitate in the
war preparations she is making.
There is 10 logger any doubt that the
present movement of the Teutons is
their master movement of the war;
that they are risking their all on its
success. They are making it in the
consciousness that they can make it
now better than later; that they are at
the crest of their power, and that every
day they may delay exerting that power
is to the advantage of their enemies,
the most recent and richest of whom,
America, has not yet had time to
mobilize.
With Russia out of the way, with
their forces hitherto employed on the
Eastern front released for concentra-
ton In the West, where the issue is to
be decided, there was every reason why,
if the Teutons were ever to make their
decisive effort in the West, they should
make it without further delay. Failure
would only bring nearer and clearer the
defeat which awaits them without some
such gamble, while success would place
them in position, so they calculate, to
enter into negotiations for a German
peace" that would leave them in pos
session of many of the spoils of con-
quest they now hold.
Let Americans refuse to be unnerv-
ed, even though the present drive go
through. Let them bear in mind that
the road to any peace worth having is a
long road, rough road, and that it is
not to be Travelled to victory by mag
nifying bumps, and "hogbacks" and
washouts into insurmountable barriers.
Whether the Germans win or lose, their
big gamble in France must not alter
our course straight ahead. If they win,
it must only impress US with a truer
conception of the fight we are in and
brace US with a sterner determination
to meet the responsibilities we have un-
dertaken. We shall never be beaten
by Germany, it matters not
what may be taking place in France
now. Let every true American, as we
ride the road that stretches before us,
however long or rough, look steadfastly
ahead and sit tight in the saddle.

AS To Fish Prices.

price not exceeding 20 cents will be
regarded as mot periodically cooper
ating" with the administration and the
