Farm Bureau In Every County.

While several States have coun.
ty agents in every county, to
Iowa belongs the distinction of
being the first State to organize
a farm bureau in each county, ac-
cording to information reaching
the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
The farm bureau is a voluntary
local organization of farmers for
cooperation with the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State agricultural colleges
10 extension work. 1t outlines
and carries out a definite program
of agricultural improvement &.
Essentially it is a chamber oil
agriculture, corresponding in
many of its functions with the city
chamber of commerce. 1t has been
developed as the answer to the
need of the county agent for an
effective organization to extend
the extension work effectively
over the county.
One of the important features
of farm bureaus, especially al
the present time, is to assisr
county agents in federating agri
cultural forces for the nations
defense.
New York has nearly complet
ed its list of farm bureaus, and ;
number of other States are no
] far behind.

The measure of greatness of people is in the una
nmity with which they rally to the support of their prn
cpes and ideals If there ever any doubt that the
American people are in heart and SOUL that doubt has
been forever dspeed for when Americans can be nduc
ed to lay aside that idol dear to the hearts of apo
the world may be assured that they dominated
and controlled by that greatest OF all passions love of
home and native land
It is only the politician of the peanut" variety that
is at all active these days. The statesman has forgotten
that politics exist.
1t is this unanmity of sentiment and laying aside Of
all minor differences that is causing grave concern in the
councils of the kaizer And this concern not essened
when he observes that like spirit is lacking in his owr
donlinons.

First Gas Masks Made by Women
Of England and France.

The use of gas in warfare dates
back to about 400 B. G. The
Spartans saturated wood with
pitch and sulphur and burned un-
der the walls of the cities they
were attacking. For several
centuries gas has not been used
in warfare, and The Hague con-
vention definitely ruled against it.
However, on April %, 1915, the
Germans liberated great clouds
| of gas against Canadian troops
near Ypres. Terrible destruc-
tion and decentralization resulted
from this first gas attack, and
within a week England was max
ing plans for gas warfare against
the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas
attack English and French wo.
men sent to the front hundreds
of thousands Of homemade gas
masks. For the most part they
were merely bandages impreg
mated with chemicals to wral
around the mouth and nose
These emergency masks saved
many lives, but afforded only
limited protection.

F.: Our Exchanges with an
I Occasional Comment
: By the Editor.
The Stacker.

We gave up our service,
You shut off our fare,
But the Stacker can drink
Till it's up to his ear.
We quit a good JOB
To keep you from harm,
While the Stacker goes by
With a girl on each arm.
They laugh at the soldier,
Poor unlucky cuss.
You go with a Stacker,
Why criticise us?
The Stacker rides around
In a ''jit" Of his own,
And charges a quarter
To haul us to town
Yet we leaYe the street
At nine-thirty at night,
While he hangs around
AS long as he might.
Discipline we know
Is a thing that must be,
But honest to goodness
We fail yet to see.
But there is always one thing
That rings upon our ear,
And that is a Stacker
Who loafs around a pool hall
And drinks lager beer.
But willingly we have taken
Our place with Uncle Sam,
And soon will cross the ocean,
But the Stacker leave behind.
When the nations war is over
And we cross back over the Sc;
The friends we left some time ag
We will all be glad to see.
But when we meet a Stacker
We can say in good heart,
"You are one of the fellows
Who never did your part"
If a Stacker can dance
1t seems rather hard,
That all decent dancers
In uniform are barred.
We have taken our rifles
And taken cur place,
And will go to our death
:. With a smile on our face,
But this is our honest
Appeal unto you;
Until we cross the ocean
, Please give US our due.
