GERMANY FACES BIG CRISIS
Gap Between Political Parties Be-
comes a Chasm Too Wide
to Be Bridged.

Amsterdam.-The German throne
itself may be hanging in the balance.
The German government is confronted
by one of the greatest crises in its
history as a result of the conflict be-
tween the political government and
the high command of the army, and
the necessity of making a decision
that will solve the gigantic problem
rests with the kaiser himself.
If the German papers correctly mir
ror the situation, the test which the
Bolsheviki have made OF Germanys
attitude toward the principle of no
annexations has thrown Germany into
political turmoil.
It is reported generally that Cen
eral Won Ludendorff, as leader 81 the
former group, has gone so far as to
threaten the resignation Of himself
and Field Marshal Won Hindenburg IL
further countenance is given even to
such views as those advanced by men
of the type of DR.. Won Kuehlmann and
Count Czernin, the German and Aus
trian foreign ministers.
At the same time. the views OF Won
Kuehlmann and Czernin fail to satisfy
the German Socialists, who regard
their middle-of-the-road pJTicy as
trickery, and who are determined that
the spirit of the Reichstag resolution
must be followed sincerely and with.
out qualification or reserve.

State Has 1874 Coal Mines.


The Bon Air Coal Company reports
to Fuel Administrator w. E. Myer

ness, owing to lack of cars, its mines
are again in operation, having re-
ceived a supply of cars from the N.
c. & st. L. Railway.

"Top Sergeant" a Real Boss.

The first sergeant always has been one
of the most important men in the United
States army and he is getting more inn
portant all the time. The increase of the
Infantry company to $50 rnen has multi
piled his labors and his tr;bulations.
The first sergeant Is the buffer between
the enlisted men and the company off
GERS. He is himself an enlisted man. but
often appropriates an autocratic author
ity that even the captain would hesitate

friend to everyone an the company. Prac-
tically everything OF q military aturc
that originates I'm the organization must
pass through his hands. and in many mat
tiers his is the final SAY"
The soldiers go to the first sergeant. not
as an enlisted man to an officer, but as
man to man. They always have the privi-
leSe OF taking up important matters with
the company commander or one Of the
other officers. but when the first sergeant
is a competent man this privilege is not
exercised very often.
A good first sergeant nearly Away

the reverse. This. as a general PROPOSE

ONE CROP SYSTEM MEANS FAILURE
BY p. @. HOLDEN.

rr< HE high price of cotton and the enormous demand for wheat must not
cause us to abandon the practice of diversified farming and drift into
a onecrop system.
Whether the crop is cotton n wheat O corn, or something else, q
'nc-crop system is the surestw way of making poor soil, poor people and a poor
country.
The very first essential to the prosperity of. any state or any community
IS the ability Of the people to feed themselves.
The farmer who would prosper must have something to sell every day in
The ear so that his cotton o. his wheat or whatever his main crp is may
pc his cash crop.
The man who farms by the One-crop system is wagering his seasons labor
hat nature will be especially kind to him. He is betting that conditions for
the growth Of that particular crop. conditions which he cannot possibly regu-
late, will be satisfactory.
Is Taking Long Chance.
II his n cop is wheat, he is gambling that he will escape smut, and
rust, drouth, wind and hail, the chinch bug Hessian fly, and other crop
enemies. If his ne crop is cotton. he is stalking his seasons work against the
work oft the boil weevn.
He may escape smut and rust, the chinch bug and the boil weevil, but ne
is rObbing his SOIL and he cannot possibly escape the loss Of soil fertility.
The Tabor independent. [volume] (Tabor, S.D.) 1913-19??, 1918-01-17

The raising of other crops and the growing Of live stock will give tho
farmer something to sell when the rust takes his wheat or the boil weevn
takes his cotton.
The man who is hardest hit by a crop shortage or by bad market condt
tons is the one-crop grain or cotton grower. The daLyman, the live stock
grower, the al who follows diversified farming, the hundreds Of homes
where poultry supplies the table and clothes the famfy-these enjoy contn-
ud prosperity every day in the year. re"
1t takes two things to make a great state: First, the soil; second, the
people.
Need Good Soil and Good People.
A state may have fertile soil, but IL there are shifuess, inefficient people
living on 1t they are lot going to make much u of 1t. A state may have
efficient people, but without production We cannot have a great country.
A onecrop system takes the life out Of the soil and impoverishes the
people. 1t is only through diversified farming and the uSng Of our energies
every day in the year that we ca make q rich country and a strong, vigorous
people.
Diversified farming means live stock, crp rotation, more pastures les
washing OF the soil, lore productive land, greater profits.
Wherever you can raise corn and clovers you a grow live stock, and
wherever you find live stock you will Ind high priced land and prosperous
growing communities. -

GOVERNMENT ASKS ORGANIZA-
TION TO LOOK AFTER DEPEND
ENTS OF MEN IN ARMY

The United States government has
assigned to the Red Cross the duty
of giving advice and information to
the families and dependents of men
in the service of the United States,
thus constituting the Red Cross bur-
eau of information, whose business it
is to inform families of their rights
under the government provision for
allotment, allowance, compensation
and war insurance, and to give advice
and help on any legal or business mat
ter which bears upon their relations
as beneficiaries of the United States
COVE rnment.
The work of this bureau has been
assigned to the civilian relief or home
service section of the Red Cross.

service section of the nearest Red
Cross chapter for desired information,
these sections being provided with the
latest information from headquarters,
and with blanks for making inquiries
or applications according to the pre-
scribed forms.
The national headquarters request
that the previous system of referring
these inquiries directly to Washing
ton be abandoned, all requests for in
formation as to allotments, allow
ances, war insurance or any other
matter referred to this bureau going
through the local chapters and the d.
visional headquarters.
If family wishes to get in touch
with a relative in the service whose
whereabouts are unknown, do not
write to the war department or to your
congressman, but apply to the civilian
relief or home service section of your
Red Cross, and you will receive in
formation with less delay through the
regularly constituted channels.
The Red. Cross has at Washington
a bureau of communication which
maintains agents at hospitals, casual |
ty clearing stations, convalescent re-
sorts, railroad rest stations, rest
camps and base camps, whose duty II
is to gather all possible information |
about any man whose relatives request
that an inquiry and search be made. |
This information is sent to national |
headquarters and the bureau of COM
forwards it to the rel |
atives making the inquiry. Applica-
lions from those within the jurisdic
ton of the Latah county chapter
should be addressed to Mrs. c. J. Or

President Wilson urges generous
support for schools OF all grades durs
ing war time In letter to Secretary
Lane approving the Bureau Of Educa-
tons plan for an educational cam
paign this summer and fall he says:
IT am pleased to know that despite
the unusual burdens imposed upon
our people by the war they have
maintained their schools and other
agencies of education so nearly at
their normal efficiency. That this
should be continued throughout the
war and that, in, so far as the draft
law will permit, there should be no
falling off in attendance in elemen-
tary schools, high schools or colleges
is matter of he very greatest impor-
lance, affecting both our strength in
war and our national welfare and eff
ficiency when the war is over So long
as the war continues there will be
constant need of very large numbers
of men and women of the highest and
most thorough training for war SER
vice in many lines. After the war
there will be urgent need not only
for trained leadership in all lines of
industrial, commercial, social and
civic life, but for a very high aver
age Of intelligence and preparation on
the part Of all the people. l would
therefore urge that the people con-
tinue to give generous support to
their schools of all grades and that
the. schools adjust themselves as wise
ly as possible to the new conditions
to the end that no boy or girl shall
have less opportunity 70 reducation
because of the war and that the Ma

only be through the right Of education

heartily your plans for making

trust that You may have the coopera-
