able deeds are endorsed, and by en-
dorsement encouraged, by the kaiser.
Hindenberg and every officer in the
German army, and by every resident
in America who sympathiZes with Ger
many, or who can see anything to adj
mire, in the German character as ex-
hibited in this war. Moreover, it would
be the natural inference that those
same apologists for Germany, or
hackers, or disloyal sympathizers,
would perform the same acts upon an
enemy people under similar circum-
stances. No wonder that France, and
England and. Italy and now America
are concentrating every resource, sub

women, girls and boys from the fate
that has befallen unfortunate Bel

Germany, and the dominating German
military powers.
The following is taken from the
Warsaw Olls) Bulletin:
The pro-German has convenient
way of dismissing charges OF German
atrocities by saying he does not be-
lieve the stories; but when he says
this with such evidence before him
as that appended, he deliberately lies,
and down in his heart he exhaults
over such diabolical acts and is so
base that he would be party to them

army DR.. George Baker, who is quot

Susan Baker, of Bowen, this county,

this is bringing first hand testimony
home to us. Read the statement and
then estimate if you can the savagery
and hypocracy of the leaders of the
Huns whose measure Of modesty as

THE BEASTS WE ARE FIGHTING,

Below We are publishing evidence
Of German bestality and brutality that
cannot be refuted. This is not trumped
up evidence. 1t is from people who are
we'll known in the community from
which the information comes. We have
read the same in Private Peat" and
other authentic documents. This
comes from eye witnesses known at
home. The article from the Warsaw
Bulletin quotes a doctor known in thar
city, and Scion Sain, brother of
Mrs. H. P. Decent, of LOOMS, is we'll
known to many residents of Oroville
This testimony should convince the
most skeptical. 1t shows exactly to
what depths of barbarism the German
people have reached, and in itself is
cause enough why America should be
in this war. Most of these acts were
done by the rank and file of the army,
under the eyes of the officers, who
themselves are guilty of the most hor-
rible autrocities. 1t is brutal, ugly,
nasty story, too nasty really to appear
in print were it not to show the peo-
pie of this locality what treatment
Americans will receive in case the
Germans are victorious in Europe and
should carry the war to America,

first suggested to their minds the
possibility Of producing large per
cent of their vegetables at practically
no expense to themselves, and very
materially reduce the cost of their liv-
ing.
How many hundreds of families,
now residing along the 5000 miles OF
the Great Northern railway system,
may be similarly benefited if the op-
portunity is called to their attention?

tration has asked that We encourage
the cultivation of our right-of-way.
We believe that very substantial ad-
dition can be made this summer and
autumn to the food supply of the coun-

moral and physical effect upon men

One of the most serious problems

production of sufficient food to sup

it to ourselves to produce the neces-
sary supplies for the family and for
the men who are in the service. The
one supreme problem this year in the
world, is FOOD. 1t is of the utmost
importance that enough food be pro-
duced, within easy reach and not de-
pendent upon interrupted transporta-
ton facilities.
In 1917 several hundred families
