We hope we are wrong, otherwise 1t might be construed as someone giv- ing aid and comfort to the Huns, especially if they knew what we are paying for the flour. War and food hogs are great allies of the kaiser.
 The want of hog law Is keenly felt at this time. The thousands of dol lars now being spent for purebred stock is liable to be wasted, as one wandering range hog can carry chol- era to many places. Besides helping our pig club boys it is a war measure, as it would help protect our pork supply.
 Of course corn is not all planted yet, and we have never yet had com plete failure, but suppose we should this year, with none left over. Plant few more spuds any time this month. They will keep in the patch until Christmas if you don't work too close to them the last blowing. Beans are nearly as complete as food.
 The forest department is notifying those whose stock might graze on the national forest to get a permit and come across with the proper amount of coin in proportion to the number of head they have. If this coin went toward our county taxes or dipping vats the forest would be a little less of leech on the country.
 Buy a bond, Mir. Farmer. You paid cheap debts with high priced crops before other necessities got up in price and unless you are very careful there is a time coming for you when this will be reversed. Some people, when they mortgage their property, invest part in something to help pay back the loan. Others spend their money without thought and imagine they are prosperous, with no thought of the paying back time. Our gov ernment, that is you and l, all of us, are mortgaging everything we have. Money is plentiful just now, but it must be paid back some time. Then to get dollar, as they become scarcer and scarcer, we must keep offering more and more in whatever we have in trade for it. Now if you have bought bond it is bringing you more interest then the bank will pay you. and if you need money to make a crop, for instance, you don't have to mort gage your crop or land at high in- terest, with the cost of commission, abstracts, recording, etc. The sale of, or a loan on your bond is the finest security and the interest it draws will make the loan cheap. This is good tip. Buy a bond. Hattie

This makes considerably over S100 in the last few months. A few records by Mccormack, Gluck, Williams and oth- CTS were played, but as the hour was late the rest were left for another time.

Latimer's place as we'll as for county surveyor. Acorn folks says he will be 8 winner in either place.
