above will suffice at present.
 But to cap the climax, a few m onths aso we g't Count Luxberg's advice to Germany to sink Argentina's ships without a trace. Nothing more cruel, more cold blooded has been revealed even about Germany. Now our Sam mics are shoulder to shoulder on the western front, fighting valiantly for Freedoms Holy Light, and the down fall of military autocratic Prussian- ism with all it's hideousness is only a matter of tme, believe, the next six months, will see the end of this frightful tragedy, But if the grim fate should rule otherwise, why then another year of the tragedy is ahead of us with sacrifices to be met heroi- cally as in all other countries. We | have not yet begun to do any sacri- ficing at all in the food line, if any one up to date think they are, they hardly know what the word means. Uncle Sam has called on us all for any financial help that we can give. He affectionately says: @If you can't buy a Liberty Bond-buy a War Savings Stamp, if that is too much, buy Thrift Stamp, as every 25 cents will help to win the war" After this Liberty Bond drive federal law should be in readiness to inquire from any man if he has a Liberty Bond or a War or Thrift Stamp, if not, very satisfactory evidence should be given
 why he hasn't got either of them. Perhaps in some cases there is genu- inc need of every cent to keep the household going. Uncle Sam will readily thank them very heartily just the same so long as their hearts are in the right place.
 Finally, I wish to impress on the minds of every pacifist, pro-German
 or German spy in the district, that
 there is no middle ground whatso- ever on the war question. If you are
 not for the United States Government you are against it. A person cant
 serve God and Mammon. And if you feel that you can't stand by the Gov.
 ernment and uphold it to fight the in
 iolerable thing that has shown us

German propaganda to try and win the war, but it is not won yet by long way. The word defeat is taken out of the English language so far as this war is, concerned.
 Now in .fegards to the pacifists' wishing to see the British defeated. They'll never see it even if they lived for hundred years and this war lasts that long. Such people like to refer to the British in the revolutionary war and the Boston tea party, not knowing in their ignor- ance, that King George III, also the Queen, were of German birth and the only things British about them were the crowns they wore, but under the crowns was the full arrogance of a German King and Queen. That has rolled down on their descendant Kali ser William of Germany. The declar- ation of Independence in part says of King George:
 'The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated | injuries and usurpations, all having indirect object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states

The policy Of raising cattle for the
ise Of the employees Of the Panama
canal and the military and naval
forces there has transformed the ap.
pearance Or the canal z0ne.
Large areas Of forest ana Jungle
along the railway and the canal have
been cleared of and planted IN guinea
grass, and the big herds Of cattle may
be seen browsing in the valleys or On
the slopes Of the many hills. Many
thousands Of acres have been cleared
already, and the work is still going on.
A big dairy is also operated, and In
time all the beef, milk and cheese
needed on the isthmus may be pro,
duced there.
The guinea grass originally was an
African plant, but has been establishs
ed In the West Indies and parts Of the
continant for O long time. 1t is a
heavy, rank grass, often reaching d
height Of ten feet stooling freely and
roofing deeply. It is particularly vai-
liable. as It destroys almost any other
vegetation, quality Of great utility
In the tropics. 1t propagates both from
seed and roots and spreads quite rap
idly.

extent also In low and wet soils. II IL
not as desirable as guinea grass, but Is
eaten BY both cattle and horses. Para
grass Is the great prevailing plant Of
the lower Amazon valley. as It is not
injured BY the periodic inundations.
The cattle industry in the canal zone
is especially favored BY the fact that
