Early blowing returns yield of
from three to ten bushels more wheat

that moisture and available plant food
can accumulate in sufficient quantity
to give the wheat quick vigorous

recommends that the plowed land be
worked down as soon as possible. The
practice Of dragging or narrowing
land within half day or day after Il

results. Weeds should he KEEP, down

Following the mental examination
comes a period of vatchful waiting

GOOD PROGRAMS
At NAVY !. NJ. CA.
THROUGHOUT WEEK

Last week was an average week at
the navy Y. NJ. c. A., but a chance
visitor would have believed th.>t
something unusual was going on.
The building is never deserted, and Is
generally packed to OVERLOOKING. 1t
is one of the traditions Of the build
ing-it is new and hasn't had time to
accumulate many traditions-but at
any rate this is a tradition proved
anew every week, that when a pro-
gram is to be given there is never a
delay through waiting on the audience
to assemble. The shoe is on the
other foot, the audience is always
there. waiting for the plays to as
semble.
From this = is evident that tie
men like the Y. NJ. G. A. and that the
Y. III. c. 4. likes the men. It makes
no difference what the program is,
there is an audience. On Sundays
religious services both morning and
evening are we'll attended Moving
pictures, stunt night, lectures, or mus
zeal program. The men are there.
Services are held every Sunday
morning at ten o'clock in the building
by Chaplain Pearce, and again Oh
Sunday evenings by Religious Secre-

services are always well attended. and
last Sunday was no exception to the
rule. Last Sunday services We're

however, which was greatly en-
joyed.
THURSDAY. Movies again, but not
the same movies. Always something
different at the navy "Y."
FRIDAY night is Stunt Night" the

useless to attempt a description Of
Stunt Ni@ht, for it might be anything
and bubble up in a way least ex-
pected. Suffice it to say that the
program is in the hands OF the men,

With the American Army in
France. Jan. 19.-It's high time the
American people quit fooling them
selves about this war.
Personally, I'm not going to keep
on trying to deceive myself any
longer as to the seriousness and the
bigness of the job my country has
ahead of it in the next few months
to come.
Dear certain it is there is an awful
jar in store for the complacent man
back home who sits before his CHEEKY
fire and observes to his wife:
Mother, we can't lose this war!
How can we when congress is spend
ing millions of dcllars a day and is
loaning our allies all they need, too
Why, it says here in the paper. we
have nearly two million men in train
ing for service. Just wait until we
get them over to France. TIE kaiser
won't last three months"
Just wait.
Has it ever sunk into the Ameri-
can mind that perhaps there is one
fellow over here who won't tiust
wait" until America gets everything
in apple-pie order to strike him +?
The kaiser is anything but the
''just wait" kind
He didn't wait on Serbia or Ru-
mania or Italy but struck them when
they were least expecting it.
The German game has always been
to smash before the opposition is
ready.
Is America really in this war or
is she just playing as if she were?
Let the swivel chair warriors at
home answer this question:
IF a German offensive in the
west does come soon, what part is
prepared to play in crushing
it ?"
Consider the present war situation
in its naked truth
Even though permanent peace be
tween Germany and Russia fails. the
fact remains that Germany already
has withdrawn an enormous number
of men from the Russian line and HIS
sent them into France, figuring that
the Russian army is so badly de-
moralized that it can't become very
bothersome-
Now as to Italy.
The recent German offensive
against Italy forced both Great Brit
ian and France to rush immense ar

Had it been a theatre the stock ex-
preston crowded from pit to dome

would have left out those on the roof,

: mics to the Italian sector to stop up
holes and as long as they are held,
there they are unavailable for service
III France or Flanders.
Net for a minute do I think the
expected German offensive will break
the allies western line.
What I saw and heard at Verdun,
where the valiant French have ac-
tually killed more than 100000 Ger
mans, convinces ne that the last
French soldier is ready to die with a
gun in his hands before he'll let the
Germans pass.
And there are no more tenacious,
Drawer fighters in all the world than
the British, with their wonderful f,1-
ulty for organization and their al
most unlimited munitions.
But if the allies should be able, in
the near future, only to stand off the
German offensives, instead OF COM
ing back with knockout punch that
would put the kaiser out of business,
then the result can mean only one
thing and that is that the struggle
must go on for a long, long time.
[ am but expressing an opinion of
ten spoken here when I say that
America must speed up and become
an actual battle line help to the rest
of the allies.
Every day that America delays or
bubbles means the loss OF more lives
in the end
If the war should terminate in a
German victory before America
throws her weight into the scales,
then we must necessarily hang '.ur
heads in shame for all time to come.
Speed up, America.
I sat the other evening with a
group of American army offers
II see" said one, tfthev're taking
of doubling the daily shifts that are
working in your shipyards over

Another officer arose and struck
the table violently. He was almost
white with anger.
Double the shifts 30 he exploded
"Great God. man, there are three
eight-hour shifts in day, aren't
they? Why in hell don't t.1ey
treble the shifts?'
That's the way everybody over
here feels about IL
Two million men training in
America aren't worth as much as
much as 1000 in the trenches in
France If they don't come over and
fight while the war IS on
Get 'em over here.
The hour is striking in this great
war.
