'Saue the Waste and Win the War;
"UNTIL THE WORLD IS SAFE. {"

THOSE who wondering when the war will end will
find the in General Haigs reply to President
Wilson, we will fight until the world Is safe" Measured
by time that is Of course indefinite but it definitely
desgna,es the object to be attained before the conflict
ceases Uttered in the sire. Of doubtful battle in the
face Of considerable retirement the words Of the British
commander carry added weight HIS statement show, the
mistaken British determination still resoue after nearly
four years Of war and such ieuacty can mean only the
doom Of Prussan autocraCy, and world made safe for
democracy.
How long Il shall take to reach that goal Il takes
bold prophet to forecast but be it near or far that is
where going With Great Britain thus consecratcd
to the service after all that Britain has borne it is un
thinkabe that this country will hesitate TO show an equal
endurance and willingness to pay London dispatches tell
the spirit Of the people home remains excellent and
confident though many made mourners by the Hun
onslaught In such forttude lies an example for this ma

British mhor speaking in this country, said recently
that the only good Hun is dead Hun and that this must
be war OF determination against such beasts il the world

that he was spreading Hun propaganda O rather IN

Newiger's whine that loyal German American, are the
mostabused people in this country also indicate, some
thing lacking in his patriotism Really loyal American,

first class men have been rejected under present army
regulations to which drafted men are subjected A regis.

AIDING THE SHEEP INDUSTRY
Numerous Calls Made Upon Agricul-
turaI Extension Forces for Infor-
nation on Management.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
In 1917 the increased interest of
farmers in the raising of sheep result
ed in numerous calls upon the agricul-
tural extension forces and other edu-
cational agencies for information and
assistance in establishing and manag-
ing farm f1ocks. In II states, special
lists in sheep husbandry were engaged
to assist county agents along this line
In other states other agencies assisted
in the work There is still an urgent
need or direction in this industry from
which so much is needed and which
until recently has been largely over
looked by the farmers and by the pub
lie agricultural institutions of many
states.
Attention Of state agricultural Of
ficials, members of councils of defense,
and others interested in strengthening
the agricultural position of the United
States for it's part in the war and for
the period following, is directed to
the opportunities offered in the follow
ing lines of action for developing the
sheep industry:
I. Securing improvement in state
laws to prevent the killing Of sheep
by dogs.
2. Encouragement of the organiza-
ton and maintenance of boys sheep
clubs.
8. Providing greater facilities for
education in relation to sheep raising,
in schools, colleges, and particularly
in extension work.
4. Utilizing idle lands in unused por-
lions of farms by grazing them with
sheep.
5. Showing the safety and need OF
more liberal attitude on the part Of
country bankers in lending money to
nrosDectiye sheep raisers.
