ternoon at the home of Mrs. A. P. Al
baugh.
Mrs. Albaugh, her eight, Mrs. Wor-
rell and Mrs. Little each their four,
and Mrs. Graham her two, and some
others paid dues for their two, thus
finishing three branches of the one
chain of eight.
Mrs. Worrell gave some lovely mu-
sic on her artiphone and games
were engaged in by all the ladies pres
ent, and it was evident that the art of
conversation, which some writer's fear
will be thing of the past, is still in
existence.
Light refreshments were served.
The following were present: Mes
danes Hiram Ballard, Lucian Bar
nette, w. E. Little, J. S. Little, j. E.
Jackson, Mamie Hill, Cora Davis
Ralph Gaskell, S. S. Whitney, Thomas
Graham, Worrell, Hombaker, Worden,
Moore, Krumm, Johnston, Albaugh
and Master Robert Johnston, George
Worden, Lucian Barnettte, Leavitte
Little.

COLLEGE GIRLS IN THE FIELD

The students of Converse college, at
Spartanburg, South Carolina, recently
took to tn fed and planted ten acres
to potatoes. 1t seems that labor was
scarce and the college authorities
could not get the field planted as US
ual, by hired men.
We are sure the college girls plant
ed the potatoes as we'll as anybody
else could have done, and we know
they felt better for their performance.
Under present conditions all patriotic
people should emulate this example
and raise anything that can be con-
sumed. Any foodstuff saves wheat,
and wheat will save the allies and win
the war.

FOOD FOR OUR ALLIES

From July 1, 1914, to January L,
1917, the United States exported to
the European allies sufficient food to
furnish completely yearly rations for
57,1OO,833 people. In addition there
was surplus of protein capable of
supplying this portion of the diet for
22.i34,57G additional men. These fig
ures were compiled by the United Sta
ties food administration.
During the thee and one-half years
the United Kingdom received enough
food to furnish complete rations for
27,2a4,44 people for one year. This
would supply rations for yearly av-
erage of almost 100000 people. In
addition to this there was an excess
OF protein.
France received sufficient food to
furnish complete rations for about
100000 people-a little more than
one-half the number supplied in Eng
land. Italy received about one-fourth
as much as went to England-com-
plete rations for about 100000 men.
All three received material excuses
of fats and protein.
Russia received only p small por-
ton of the enormous total. Statistics
compiled by the food administration
show that the three and half years
exports in terms of nutritive units,
totaled 6S,15O,934, 100000 calories. Of
this amount only 51,017,000,000 calor-
les went to Russia. England, France
and Italy received 68,107,917, 600 900
calories-more than SO per cent o. the
total.

Have You Seen
The New Display
of Millinery in
Noblit' S Window

Well, of all the things we ever
heard of the Noblit Hardware Com
pany under the direction of c. c. Bar
mum, is the most "unike."
Bless your soul if he hasn't done
gone and put in fine line of millinery
think of it-MILLINERY in hard
ware store. This man Barnum should
be shot--maybe. Running millinery
store-shame on him.
However, he assures The Leader
that when he goes after business he
gets it because he makes his customs
ers satisfied, and he is going to have
the big show window filled with hats
tomorrow Saturday and will present
souvenir to every lady who comes
in the store.
Better see this display-seeing is
buying, for every hat is guaranteed
to be the latest Paris creations and of
ultra style; also to be cheaper than
you can buy such hats from any mil
linery store.
Come and see-Saturday.

WHAT THE VICTORY OR DEFEAT
OF GERMANY MEANS TO
= EVERY AMERICAN

Contributed by Albert Payson Ter
hume to the National Leagues cam
paign of Patriotism Through Educa-
tion)
Germany's victory would mean all
that the alarmists have said-the set
back of humanity, democracy, civili-
cation, right of man, etc. But to Am
erica it would mean infinitely more.
1t would mean our first national de-
feat; ard, thus, would smash our per-
feet record for victories-a record as
old as our nation-a record that
means more than the right to brag.
Even as a beaten army never wholly
regains it's old form-even as beaten
ring champion sinks at once into de-
seutude-so our nation (its traditions
# victory gomez would suffer far
worse deterioration than the mere fact
of defeat could infict.
1t would mean that the man who
has risked all in his country's struggle
for Right could never regain his
former calm certainty that Right
must triumph. Thus the moral tone
Of the individual, as well as of the ma
toin, would inevitably be lowered.
This country has never embarked in
a war of conquest. From ITS to the
present, we have fought for Liberty
or for Union or for the Oppressed
ever for some sterling principle of
right. From childhood we have been
taught to believe that the high unself-
ishness of our war-aims has given US
the victory. We have seen the decay
or destruction of men and nations that
have battled for domain-as Germany
is now battling Should we fail in this,
our mightiest war for the Right, the
average man must lose forever the
simple Faith which has led our dear
country from nothingness to it's pres
ent estate. For that Faith, more than
for anything else, our sacrifice is a
hundredfold justified.

Leon Trotzky seems to realize that
the time is at hand to fight Germany.
When the allies recently inquired
whether German prisoners were as
sisting the Bolsheviizi in Siberia he
told them to send trained observers to
investigate, offering special train.

More land is being planted in wheat
in England than ever before and it is
estimated that a million new acres are
in cultivation this year.
Work on the $375,OO0,O0O subways
being built in New York, may be halt
ed for the course of the war unless
government aid is forthcoming.
New York plans an aerial police,
whose duties will be to protect the city
in case of aerial attack and to carry
messages if communication should
be broken by a great catastrophe.
Instead of sending $4,000 battle

Germans Ignore U.s."
from the Cleveland Plain No.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Absolute lack of respect for the United
States In the world war-a total disregard
for what America may or may not do in
the conflicts apparent everywhere in
Germany.
This is what Victor Morgan. editor Of
the Cleveland Press. told member of the
Rotary club Recently at IA luncheon.
Mr.. Morgan rccountcd some of the Ger
man atrocities which came under his oh
servation on his recent trip to Europe.
He declared these barbarities are not the
work of individuals or OF a small group
but are a part OF the German military
program and must be carried ont ne
directed.
The need for German soldiers on the
firing line makes 1t impossible. he said.
for the Teutons to police conquered ter.
ritory as 1t should be policed. So they
bring about subservience through fright
fulness." And the only way to thoroughl,.
COW the conquered. he asserted. was to
make the atrocities SO horrible no person
would lift a hand against the German uni
form.
A west front drive will begin soon. Mr.
Morgan believes. He declared Americans
will be called upon to bear the brunt Of
the entire German offensive.

COSTS MORE TO FEED
MULES THAN THE MEN

C~hlCaSo.--lt costs more TO feed Unit
ed States army mules and horses than
IT does to satisfy the hunger of the
men themselves.
Millions of dollars-how many mill
lions the forage branch of the quarter
masters corps here would say-llave
already been paid for hay. grain and
straw supplied cavalry mounts and
PACK and artillery animals since June,
l"l'. according to George |. Bridge,
chief of the forage branch. Mir. Bridge
Joined the nations "s1-a-year" mon to
give To the department the advantage
OF his experience as :: purchaser of hay
anu grains. He based his conclusions
as 10 the relative cost of feeding man
and beast ON a basis of 1G cents a meal
for each soldier.
To cope with the gigantic TASK that
the quartermasters face i'm keeping
army animals we'll fed, n r%e-arrange-
been effected. whereby Chicago is made
the forage purchasing center for all
"f Americas armed forces.
From the Philippine stands to the
coast of Maine, from the Gulf of MeXi-
co to Montreal. America is collecting
forage for army horses and mules" he
said. Every cantonment and military
station in the country. rs wei as all
United States Overseas forces. depend
upon this office for their HAY. o;rts
and straw.
purchasing of forage supplies is
much more complicated than i'm amy
other army branch. For example when
u supply OF frozen beef is needed. it is
only necessary to see five or six firms,
because these firms are practically the
only ones from which the beef can be
obtained. Consequently the purchase is
quickly affected.
In the forage branch. however. we
are laced with a much more perpleX-
ing problem. Gun purchases must be
made direct from dealers. and there
are thousands of them. We pick up a
carload of hay here, another somewhere
else rms not only necessitates a large
volume of correspondence but oinpli-
Gates our work. OF one thing we may
be proud. however: there has been no
trouble whatever in getting supplies.
ana there is no shortage in this coun-
Try or the things needed in our depart
ment."
The forage division supplies straw
for the bed of soldiers. Il large amount
