WHY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
 FUR GERMANY ID WIN

The Germans can never win this war! Even if the kaiser defeats Italy: even if he defeats France; even if he makes peace with Russia and Rou- mania; even if he continues to have his way in the Balkans and Poland even then the kaiser will not be in as strong a position as Napoleon once was.
 And Napoleon, his armies bled white with victories, was finally defeated, and spent his last days in exile at St. Helena.
 Even though the kaiser should be victorious on land, it would be short lived, and the spells would have to be returned and full reparation made. Why? Simply because the United States, Great Britain and Japan can still shut the Germans from the seas.
The Cordova daily times., 1918-03-05

With free access to the raw-material resources of practically the whole world the allies can maintain an econ omic blockade of Germany until the German people will establish a peo- ple's government with which lasting peace can be made. The United States and Great Britain will never surrender If worse comes to worst, they will con tinue the war against Kaiserism on the sea and in the air until the Ger mans will gladly make a lasting peace.
 But the kaiser hasn't defeated Italy. He hasn't defeated France. The allies are getting stronger every day as the United States throws her gigantic weight in man power and resources against the kaiser, while the Germans were at their zenith in the opening days of the war three and one-halc years ago and are getting just that much weaker every day.
 The same thing that defeated Ma polean will defeat the kaiser. What? Sea-power. No the Germans can never win this war!-Farm and Preside.

THE COMMUNITY
IDEA

The Community" idea u the slo-
gan Of the present times. Our people
are beginning to see that they must
work together to accomplish large
things. Individual achievement does
something. But unless there Ii team
play no kind Of organization can get
ahead very far.
Some years ago the movement to
form Boards Of Trade and Business

country. Formerly these societies
existed only in large cities. But now

nized that they are found even in

wonders to organize our commercial

THE BIG GERMAN
DRIVE

There will no doubt be disappoint-
ment that the big German drive was
able to gain as much ground as II
has. Yet our allies could do the
same thing II they felt 1t was worth
while. They also could accumulate
100000 men, and q tremendous
concentration Of guns at some single
sector. and push through. As fast
as one regiment was cut down. they
could send others on. and on. and
on. and finally the Germans would
have to yield. But the allied COM
manders never believed that this
kind Of thing pays.
The Germans may call 1t victory.
But q few more victories of the same
kind would end the war.and not in
the favor of the Germans. They have
probably thrown away two men for
every one that our allies have lost
in killed. wounded and captured.
This victory will have tremen-
dous left handed effect within Ger

THE FARMER AND
THE WAR

with the value Of the field crop,
and the animal products Of 1917 OF.
flclally set at $21.000.0 100000 the
impression is likely to get abroad
that the farmer IL enjoying excess
profits to an extent which the steel
magnate and the munition maker
never dreamed Of. But the truth
Is that It IL not all velvet to the
farmer. even with corn and wheat
and hogs at the high prices they are
nowadays.
While the value Of farm products
has been soaring, the value Of prac-
tically everything the farmer has to
buy has been ballooning over the
prices Of the things which he raises
and has to sell. For instance. be-
fore the war steel sold for $50; 1t
now sells for $3.50. The effect ID
felt In the price which the farmer
must pay for all bis implements and
tools.
Within the last two or three
years coal has advanced In price
from 100 70 80 per cent. wire has
gone up 100 per cent. wagons are
selling Tor 10 per cent more thar
they used to. prepared foods have
advanced 100 per cent, fertilizers
have risen In price 600 per cent. and
20 on. Binding twine has advanced
from 8 To 10 cents. Pillow shoveis
that were bought for $a.60 before
the war now cost ~. Cultivatora

USE OF POISONOUS
GASES

On April 20. 1915. the Germans
violated all laws Of modern warfare
by beginning the use of poisonous
gases. They triumphantly rejoiced
In some initial successes gained In
the confusion and surprise follow
ing the first attacks. As the war
has gone along. the allies have been
driven to adopt the same weapon.
They not merely are delivering gas
quite as efficiently as the Germans
today. but they have better gas
masks for meeting It. Under these
circumstances. it Is not surprising
that the Germans quite naturally
think the time has come to discard
u for humanitarian reasons.
Probably the trouble is that the
Germans are shy Of cotton. The sol.
der in his gas helmet must breathe,
he must have purified air. This ID
accomplished by introducing the air
through a pad of thick muslin. treat

from cotton supplies, 1t would not

"As previously stated. Mr.. Cooper
contends that n,ne-tenths Of the dis

which produces faulty digestion and

I'm a recent interview. Mr.. Coop
er was asked II Tanlac would relieve
kidney trouble. liver complaint. rhe-
matism and dozen other ailments.
and In this connection. said:
"As I have repeatedly said: my
medicine acts directly ON the mucu-
GUS membrane, stomach and blood.
expelling from them the impurities
and toxic poisons and rendering to
them a strong, healthy condition.
am convinced that the stomach reg
ulates the condition Of the blood. and
is the fountain head Of health or dis
ease. as the case may be. Medicine
is intended primarily for the regula-
ton of the stomach and catarrhal in
flmation, but It IL no uncommon
thing for persons who have used 1t
to come to me and explain that It
has relieved them Of rheumatism and
many other ailments, not generally
