The plueky little Belgians simply
will not remain inactive while the op-
pressor of their country still carries
on his ncfarious work.
A detachment of 339 Belgian volun-
tecrs who had been fighting in Rus
sia, recently arrived in San Francisco
on their way back to Belgium and the
trenches. They have literally circled
the globe in the return to their native
land. From Galicia they went through
Siberia to Yokohoma, across the Paci-

States to the Eastern coast and now
await a boat that will carry them back
again to their fighting land.

On account Of its supposedly Ger
man name, saGerkraut seems TO be
losing its popularity as an American
dish. An active propaganda has been
going the rounds and the consumption
Of this valuable foodstuf has greatly
decreased.
Food Administrator Hoover in re
cent communication reminds US that
sauerkraut is in reality a Dutch rather
than German origin and ought not to
be Disseminated against, especially al
time like the present when yege-
tables form such large part Of the

FOR THE POULTRY
GROWER

By the United States Department Of
culture)

Owners of back yards in cities and
towns are asked to do everything in
their power to help the meat and egg
supply by raising small f1ocks Of poul-
try in back yards. Farmers are re-
quested greatly to increase their farm
flocks Of hens so that 100 on every
farm will be the average for the ma
ton.
The following statement regarding
the poultry needs is taken from the
official agricultural program for 1918
issued recently by the United States
department of agriculture:
Poultry production should be in
creased greatly, especially in back
yards and on farms, where waste ma
terial is available and the purchase of
expensive grains and other material is
not required.
Increased poultry production may
be attained most economically by early
Matching; by confirming mother hens at
least ten days after the chicks are
Matched; by reducing losses on ac-
count of rats, weasels and thieves, and
from cold, damp conditions; by thor
Ough sanitation; by discouraging the
marketing of early-hatched pullets as
broilers; by eliminating non-producing
hens and keeping good layers through
at least two laying seasons; and by
the pOultryman raising his own feed
as far as possible"

What Your Country Expects.

Your country is counting on you to
furnish the sinews of war in this. the
mightiest contest that the world has
ever known. 1t is counting on your
money, your labor, and your spirit of
self-sacrifice. World wars can not be
won by talk alone, and they can not
be won by resources unless those re-
sources are so directed that they count
in the actual prosecution of the war.
America, as we all know, is the rich
est nation in the world 1t has the
most money, the most factories and
the most natural resources. But the
money will not do us any good in the
war unless it is modified for the use
of the Government.
This is why the War Savings Stamp
campaign was devised by the Govern
ment. 1t gives every man, every wom-
an and every child an opportunity to
do something for the country they
love. You do not have to be million
aire and buy a lot of bonds. Your
Your twenty-five cents for a Thrift
Stamp or your $4.16 for a War Savings
Stamp will help your country and help,
it now. And the fact that you did
without something to get the money to
purchase this stamp will help even
more, for the country can not get its
war work done if the factories are busy
ministering to your pleasure.

Jews in KaiserIand Unite
for Protection of Rights

German newspapers recently re-
ceived in London report the amalga-
nation of all the Jewish associations
of the empire for the protection of
the illegal rights of German Jews"
The program adopted is described as
their "irreducible minimum" The
president is James Simon, a Berlin
merchant prince cOntemptuously
known in Junker circles as the "Court
Jew" because of the kaiser's professed
personal friendship for him. The
main demands of the new organization,
as set forth in the Vossische Zeitung,
are illegal and genuine" equality Of
rights and opportunities with other
citizens sin all states" including the
unrestricted right OF emigration into
the Turkish empire, especially Pales-
tine. Similar Capitalization of Jewish
associations, it is stated, is imminent
in Austria-Hungary, Turkey and Bull
garia.

What Am ] Doing?

Ask yourself this question: What
am doing toward helping my country
win the war;" If you are not doing
something don't you think you are a
very lukewarm American?
The Government doesn't ask very
much of you. 1t merely asks you to
do without unnecessary things and in
vest your money saved thereby in Sc
curities. You can buy War Savings
Stamps and assist the nation.
Remember that every time you buy
a War Savings Stamp, which is re-
deemable in gold in 1923, you are firing
a shot at Berlin.

How About II, Mr.. Banker?

The bankers of Kentucky do not yet
fully realize the importance of the War
Savings campaign as part of the much
greater campaign to defeat the Huns
of Europe. 1t is not the primary pur-
pose of the War Savings campaign to
get two billion dollars for the Govern
ment, important as that is. Our pri-
mary purpose is to give direction to
the tremendous, but scattered energy of
Mr.. Average American. Every twenty
five cent piece put into Thrift Stamp,
every four dollars and fifteen cents
put into War Savings Stamp is just
that much more energy released for
the blow our Government is striking.
of all people in this country, bank
ers ought to be the first to see this,
and to appreciate also the great and
valuable lesson of thrift which will be
driven deep into the minds of the pres
ent and rising generation if the War
Savings campaign leally succeeds.
Many of the banks N Kentucky are
not yet actively interested in the War
Savings movement. A great many of
hem, indeed, have the stamps on sale.
Nearly all of them have displayed our
sostsrs. But there for the most part

The faces" are the biggest assets the
magnates can boast of, and if you will
lamp the rosters of the sixteen major
league clubs you will find at least one
player on nearly every roster who fig
ures as the real drawing card of the
team on the road.
Tyrus Raymond Cobb is the greatest
drawing card in the business. He is
worth more to Detroit on the road than
all the rest of her players put together,
for the fans in rival towns go out large
ly to see Cobb, unless the Tigers are
up there fighting for a pennant, and
the rabids in small towns within easy
riding distance of the big league cities
never miss chance to be on the job
when Cobb is billed to cavort at the
ball park. So Cobb alone is worth
thousands of dollars to Detroit at the
turnstiles in the course of a season.

Foch's Name Not Teutonic;
Almost Rhymes With FLUSH"

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the correct pronuncia-
ton of the name of the new generals
simO of the allied armies.
On paper Foch seems Teutonic, says
the Chicago Herald, and suggests
thrOaty gutturals of the kind that are
no longer popular in the civilized
world. But the name is pronounced
as If it were spelled Fosh, with a short
co." like "uh," and almost rhymes with
'hush." This is ON the authority of
lie Courier des Etats Unis, French
daily newspaper published in New
York.
General FOch is Basque from the
Pyrenees, not an Alsatian. All Basque
names terminating in sch" have the
soft Ssh" sound instead of the Ger
manic cultural.

Laundrymen and War Conditions.

Now it is the laundrymen's turn

They formerly used caustic potash in
combination with soap for bleaching
purposes. But now that potash is al

in the price of soap has made the need
acute. And now comes satisfactory
domestic bleach. Three pounds of tri-

when LITTLE ONE SINGS


When evening comes over the gray shad-

Softly my Little One sings;
Cuddles and coos to a little rag doll.
And babbles of wonderful things.
Voice like a linnet, and eyes like a dove,
Eittle One rocks in her chair,
And tenderly sings, while her motherly
love
Warns to her little one there.
I want to get down by the side of her.
too,
And rock-a-by back through the years.
Voyaging the Sunderland River of blue,
Untroubled by doubtings or fears.
To drift to a nest in the crook of an arm,
And lie in a cuddle Of dreams;
All, Little One, sing me the wonderful
charms
Up, up from the Lullaby streams.
And sing while the heart of you bursts
in a song.
Cuddle your little one so,
For yours is a 1eeting time. age is so
long,
And you, little singer, will grow.
Age will lay hand on your curly, brown
hair,
Make you a grown-up too soon;
Hustle you out of your little red chair
Sing, sing, while your heart is in tune!
Softly gray shadows come deeping down,
Little One journey away
Mother and Dolly to Sunderland Town.
Drowsy-eyed dreamers astray,
Leaving me here where a mist Of her
song
Falls on my heart like dew,
And heaven, I thank you, through age Is
so long,
Many the dreams that come true.
Jay B. Iden in the Kansas City Star.
