Importance of Educati n.
To the PARENTS

To the Parents:-
These days are often times Of qnes-
tioning as to where our duty lies. In
another column will be found letter
by President Wilson written TO the
U. S. Commissioner of Education re-
garding the importance of keeping
our public schools, at this time more
than ever before, intact and efficient.
This letter should dispel any un.
certainty on the part of parents as to
the duty they owe their country as
we'll as to their children in regard to
the latters' school training.
Thousands of young men from all
parts of our fair land are occupying
places where their services at all odds
cannot be spared. Their training for
higher grades of service must neces.
sarlly be forgone. And If no i'll
results shall follow, their ranks in our
schools must be filled as far as this Is
possible. Ii the war continues for
several years our country needs the
service that only those of trained
skill can give. But the need for men
and women of such training is no less
important when the time Of re. adjust
ment comes after the war.
Locally. it is the duty of our COM
munity in the first place to prevent
any falling off in school attendance.
Moreover, II the youth can i'll be
spared from orchard, shop or farm, If
his being at school entails sacrifice.
1t is important, also, that the pupil
and parent alike recognize that the
most must be made of the pupil's
school life. School attendance and
strict attention To school duties
should be considered serious duty.
The high school course is SO planned
that an hour and half, or two hours,
OF home study is necessary If pupils
work shall be kept up to the required
standard. Hence, much RESPONSE
bility for the pupils success or failure
in school falls on the parents. They
should. see to it that there is as little
interference with the students home
work as possible. Also, that he gets
the required rest necessary for efficient
work at school. II this be done, and
If your children receive at all times
the encouragement 10 their school
careers that they should have from
teachers and parents alike, then
there will be little danger OF our
young folks not measuring up to tneir
opportunities.
Sincerely yours,
L. D. Swensou.

times we wonder if the allowance

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The American first army, under
Pcrshlng, by sudden powerful stroke
Sept. IL l3) eliminated the famous
st. Mihiel salient, which the enemy
had held projecting deep into French
territory southeast of Verdun since
1914. So great was the element of
surprise and so rapid the advance
with the aid of artillery and many
tanks on both sides Of the salient,
that In less tEan two days the strong
ly fortified position, with 1855 square
miles of land, 10000 German soldiers
and much war material fell into the
hands of the Americans and the few
Frenchmen operating with them. A
few Austrians were also taken.
To the north. the British and French
resumed their drive agdiCst the
Hindenburg line, making new gains
and taking more than 10000
prisoners and many guns during the
week. St. Quentin, strong key
position on this line, protected 10
front by the st. Gobain forest, is
being invested on the north by the
British and on the south by the
French.
On the 18th the French and Serbs
in Macedonia successfully attacked
the Bulgarians and Germans on l6-
mile front, and In two days penetrat-
ed to depth Of ten miles, taking
1000 prisoners and 30 cannon.
Apparently sensing ultimate defeat
at arms, the central powers. in long
note from Austria, have again pro-
posed negotiations for peace. The
overtures have been summary
rejected by the allies. who declare
that "before the central powers can
have any peace discussion with the
entente powers and America they
must accept the principles of:
mo secret treaties; freedom of the
seas except to suppress predatory
nations that fail to respect inter.
national covenants; the removal OF all
trade barriers; reductions of arma-
ments; adjustment of colonial claims
with reference to the wishes of the
governed population; the evacuation
of Russian territory and abandonment
of economic control therein; indepen-
dence of Belgium with indemuiflca-
ton; restoration of Alsace-Lorraine:
REIMBURSEMENT Of Italy's frontiers;
autonomous government for the
nationalities of Austria Hungary;
evacuation of Rumania, Serbia and
Montenegro; REIMBURSEMENT Of
Turkish control of non.Turkish
populations; an independent Polish
state and, finally, league of nations

If. The sows that are to farrOw in

KEEP YOUNG HORSE GROWING
Good Practice, When Not Carried to

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Colts that are Ecpt growing make
the best horses. S0me farmers allow
their young horses to trough it,
through the winter and, although this
is a good practice when not carried to
extremes, if the feeder is not careful
it may give the colt setback which
permanently retards its development.
Feeds that will promote growth
should be supplied. Good, clean clover
Timothy hay commonly is fed. Well
cured alfalfa hay free from dust is one
OF the best rOUghagCs for growing, but
because OF it's relatively high protein
content it generally is economical to
supplement it with other rCughage such
as timothy, mixed hay, or corn fodder.
Besides lending variety to the ration
such a method of feeding alfalfa would
offset any likelihood of kidney o.
bowel irregularities. Shcaf oats can
be used to good advantage to supple
mcnt other roughagc. The animals
should not be allowed to gorge them
selves on dry feed. They should be
given only what they will clean UP
readily, but at the same time enough
feed should be supplied. Oats, corn
and peas, preferably fed ground, are
suitable grains. Bran, Oil meal or glu-
ten feed Will add protein and lend yari
ETY.. COttOnscCd meal should not be
fed to fOalS ADDrODriate grain ra-
tions for the first winter are: Two
parts corn, five parts oats, three parts
bran and one part oil meal; or four
parts oats, one part corn and one part
bran.
Silage Should not be fed to fOals to
any considerable extent. Sliced roots,
such as carrots and sugar bccts, are
very palatable and have a cooling ef
feet on the digestive system. The
quantity Of feed generally should be
regulated by the appetite, although oc-

fed so that it will be picked up clean,
and you will find next. spring that
there is not a bit of the corn lying
around TO go TO waste.
Protein feeds in the form of shorts,
tankagc, oilmeal or alfalfa hay should
be supplied. Self-feedcrs can be used
Ger these feeds, and it is quite success
1ui TO grind the alfalfa hay. SoTs will
eat larger percentage of alfalfa hay
fed in the ground form than when fed
in racks uIground. This alfalfa is
generally cheaper on the corn belt
farms than any Of the other protein
feeds and is good balance to the corn
ration.
BY following a few of these simple
methods the sows will be brought to
narrowing time capable Of producing
good strong pigs. Every hog grower
knows that if he is going to have pigs
that Go their best from the start they
must necessarily be strong and vigor-
Gus at narrowing time. The proper care
of the brood sow is not difficult and
