THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

der as thing against which we
could not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part of all future
wars and have been responsible for
its incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that be-
cause the fire which burns up our
farms usefulness is beyond the hori-
zon, we would submit to the kindling
of 1t.
We might have accepted the sew
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton. but we could not have
done it merely because we were
commanded to do it. BY so doing
we should have accepted degrade
ton. We should have begun, after
winning our freedom in our own
revolution and establishing a union
on the foundation of liberty in the
blood and tears OF our war between
the states, to knuckle under to autoc-
racy! We should have basely yielded
up our birthright as Americans.
Such a thought is intolerable. Peace
at such a price would not be peace.
but only a preparation for a future
revolt against subjugation. Better
any sort of war; better war forever.
that that.
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices, let us remember that we
fight. not for our liberties tomorrow,
or next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today. Not
for the right TO live in the future but
for the right to make a living this
year.
German oppression had begun TO
pinch us before we entered the war.
II we had not declared war, but had
accepted the conditions of life ordered
for us by the Kaiser, we should today
be a poverty.stricken people. Our
factories would be shut down, our
workmen unemployed, our people
starving, our farmers ruined by the
poverty of those for whose consump-
ton they grow their crops. There Is
loss and sacrifice In the war, but
there would have been far more OF
loss and sacrifice in accepting the
German terms. We should have lost
more in money than we have spent
in the war, but we should have lost
something far more precious. We
should have lost our souls.

HERE ARE SOME "CANS"

You can avoid using milk or
cream cans for wrong purposes.
Sometimes people put gasoline
In them and ruin them almost
Immediately.
You can refrain from batter
ing the cans needlessly.
You can return other peoples
cans, If you happen to get them
by mistake. The owner needs
them.
You can see that your own
can does not lie about the rail-
way station, even though you
may not be going to use 1t at
once, take 1t away and care for
1t.
You can remind the railway
agent that he may help by CIV
ing cans as much protection as
possible.
You can rinse the vessel be-
fore using. y 1t may have been
thoroughly cleaned at the fac
tory; but II needs fresh rinse
before using.
You can keep the vessel clean
inside. Use a little sal soda oc-
casionally In washing the tins
out, If necessary.
You can see that a tin does
not stand in n damp place or
with moisture inside. Espe-
cially at the end of the season,
when the cans are being put
away, dry each carefully and
store under cover in a dry at
mosphere.

County Probation
Officer Reports

To Board Of County Commissioners:
The unfortunate woman who, two
years ago was rescued from a fish
house on an obscure key, and of whom
mention has been made regarding her
advancement since being under the
care of the county, left for New York
state two weeks ago. In response to
"a letter of inquiry, brother who is
in business for himself agreed to give
her 1 home with his family, and sent
the money for her fare. This woman
proved to have most affectionate dis
position, and great craving for home
ties, so when she learned of the home
that was awaiting her, her JOY can
better be imagined than described.
The colored man who was shot by a
conductor few months ago is still
a charge upon the county, and may
continue to be for as many more
months. Relief has been asked for
three aged men without family ties,
one suffering from cancer, one from
epilepsy, the third from paralysis.
These three cases added to our list
make eight such men who are aided
by the county. The problem of the
aged man without family is one that
will grow with the growth of our
county, as numbers of men of advanc-
ing years who settle here, attracted
by our climate, are able to provide for
themselves for a few years, but when
the infirmities of age press upon them,
then they must be cared for by the
public This is almost the only class
of our dependents that would be eli
gible for admission to a poor farm,
were we unfortunate enough to have
one, and several of these men have
their own little houses in which they
can be cared for at less expense thar
they could be in county house But

Combating Hun Lies With the Movies

Washington, Aug. 6.-The story of
the governments policy and activities
in pictorializing the war, not only for
record and information but for morale

man lie in other countries of the
world" is told in a report which Sec
rotary Baker has laid before Congress.
1t is in reply to resolution of in
quiry regarding motion and still pic
lures of the American expeditionary
force and of the military preparations
at home, and it shows a comprehen-
sive system of picture activity safe
guarded by a permit system devised
BY the committee on public informa-
ton and approved by the war depart
ment.
The pictures are taken by signal
corps units and are shown in thous-
ands of motion picture houses under
contracts on a commercial basis to
help pay the committees expenses in
motion picture propaganda.

sources, which are put in the treasury
