necessary because, when lined up
against autocrats, no democracies can
protect their people against wrongs.
This is what Kaiser Wilhelm is trying
to prove today If he is right-if the
united democracies of the world can
not drive him back into his den, beat
en- and sore-there will be no more
democracies He will have shown
that democracies are failures The
nations of the world will become au-
tocracies for self-protection or will be-
come slaves of Germany or will reek
in bloody anarchy
The defeat of Germany will mean
that democracy can and does protect
its adherents 1t will mean that peo
pie need not be slaves protected by
ruler but that they can protect them
selves. German victory means moth
ing except that the world is safe for
Autocrat Wilhelm; German defeat
means the world is safe for you and
for me, and for our children through
many generations.

There are in Great Britain class
of politicians who set themselves UP
as the leaders of Labor who, so far
as my observation goes, are not as a
general rule working men themselves,
and who are seeking their own polit-
ical advancement without giving due
regard to the big issue involved in
this war.
Fortunately in America we are free
from this impudent encroachment of
politicians upon our Labor movement
because we have always taken up the
position that we would be partisan to
principle and not partisan to a po-
litical party.
1 do not, Of course, presume to tell
the leaders of the Labor movement in
Britain the line of policy they ought
to adopt Such an action on my part
would be very properly resented.
But 1 trust 1 may be permitted to
state what is the policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor without CIV
ing offence.
I am convinced, and my colleagues
in America will agree with me, that
no trade unis movement can meet
with success and have a proper de-
gree of harmony and singleness OF
purpose that permits other than the
workers themselves to be their official
representatives and spokesman.
AS to the democracies of the Cen
trail powers I would say. one word. II
cannot be forgotten that by a unani-
nous vote of the Labor convention al
Buffalo last November it was decided
that no American representative OF
Labor would attend any conference al
which were present delegates repre-
senting any of the enemy countries.
There will ben going back on that
But while the door against the
working classes of those countries i:
closed it is not locked and barred
Peace will open it, and then we shall
be the first to extend the hand of fra
ternity to our fellow-workers in Ger.
many.
After nearly four years of war with
tremendous sacrifice and suffering il
Great Britain it is impressive and in
spring to see the wonderful spirit O.

mass of the people
1 am satisfied that this spirit will
be maintained to the end, and tina
with all the forces of the Allied gov
ernments co-ordinated and the worl
pushed forward as is now being done

WHEN WARTS ARE
TO BE FEARED

Warts appear very commonly upon
the hands of children and even up to
middle age. AS a rule, they ara more
common in women than in men. The
warts of children come and go quick
ly. while those of adults are of longer
duration
Warts which appear under the skin
of elderly persons for the first time
should be looked upon with suspicion
and expert advice sought lest they be
of a cancerous nature.
Among the simple remedies which
may be used is a mixture CT equal
parts of castor oil and oil of cinnamon
applied frequently until the warts are
softened and diaappear.
An old-time remedy which enjoyed
great popularity was to moisten the
head of a match and rub it over the
Wart
There were many superstjtions in
this connection, it being earnestly be-
I1eved by persons of an earlier genera
ton that if a piece of a neighbor' S
dishcloth was surreptitiously taken,
the wart rubbed with it, and the piece
of cloth buried, the blemish would dis
appear before the cloth rotted in the
ground
The safest and best way of getting
rid of these disfigurements is to have
physician treat them. In cases
where a large number of several null
tiple warts or those which appear to
be several grouped together, make
their appearance, it is an indication
that the patient is in a nervous condi-
ton and needs prompt constitutional
treatment

Adolf Goebel has solved all the Ia
Dor problems which entitle him as
good citizen and an employer OF men
to the respect of the entire commun-
ity.
He does not breed Bolshevikism,
discomfort, murmurings, mutterlngs,
or any of the other protests against
special privilege and injustice which
tend to blind the eyes of the foreign
born to the true significance of dem
ocracy and the real beauties, privi-
leges, opportunities, rights and re-
sponsibilities of the American citizen.
He works his men eight and half
hours a day, and when they work
overtime he pays them so cents an
hour for their labor. Many Of them
are paid at the rate of 1882 a year
and some at the rate of $1,456 year.
He employs 20 women to do mems
work at half pay and 1 have heard
him say with greak vigor that he
would rather so out of business than
to work a single slave under his roof.
Even the boys who wrap the Goe-
bel lard in parchment paper receive
| SIG a week, and the slowest moving
meat trimmer in his establishment
receives $22 a week, and can look
| forward as he advances from the
| third class to the second class and
| first class operate at $26 and SIS
week.
I have talked with many Of his
employees. They don't know the
meaning of the word discomfort, and
many of them who have sought re-
| fuge in America from European OPP
preston, have been made to realize
| that America .>eally does, in spots at
least, afford I means of decent live
Iihood and inspiring freedom to the
prospective citizen who is willing to
put as much into his new life as he
thinks he ought to get out of it.
Cow Meat Barred
Goebel will not use q pound of
| COW meat in his establishment, moi
even a ''fat cav" looked upon as
healthy at the time of slaughter.
He has been an eyewitness of all
the horrors connected with the re-
iected tuberculous COW industry. and
on the subject has become SO super
sensitive that he bars cows of every

upon their dressed carcasses has beer

But George just kept on hacking at

Colonel Washington, who was TAX

this time. He was always little
hard of hearing. When he saw his
favorite cherry tree laying on the
ground, he said:
George, who cut down my cherry

George, who had passed the axe to
Ike, looked at Ike, answered and said:
Father, as l cannot tell lie, Ike
did it," trying to lay the blame on
Ike. But. as have said, the colonel
was a little hard of hearing. He
thought George had said, 81 did it."
So he called George to him and said:

London, Feb. pa Petrograd dis
patch says the Russian commissioners
are ordered to defend to death"
against Germany. They have ap-
pealed to the soldiers to destroy, rail-
WAYS and provisions and to compel
bourgeois to dig trenches under PEN
altv of death. The German advance
has nowhere met serious opposition
up to the present. Special dispatches
indicate that the invaders are making
their own pace and are collecting i'm
mense stores of munitions, food and
other property which the Russians
abandoned in their hurried flight. A
Morning Post dispatch from Perograd
saws a division each of cavalry and
infantry comprises the advancing Ger
man army. 1t is unlikely the Russian
navy will obey any order, because dis
organization has reached the extreme
point. Authorities report it may be
necessary to remove ships at Reval
and Helsingfors to Kronstadt to pre-
vent the Germans from capturing Pet
rograd. No news has been received
from the delegation sent to Dvnsk
to officially inform the Germans
that Russian capitulated to the peace
terms. A Berlin dispatch last night
said the Russians were passed through
+Lo Corp,ap 1;rac with written cOnfir-
nation of acceptance.
The Daily News Petrograd corre=
spondent says Leon Trotzky, Bolshev-
Xxi foreign minister, who first op-
posed capitulation to the German
terms and later voted to accept them,
will probably resign because of the
INDICATION caused by his action in his

WHAT To PLANT
IN BACK YARD
Garden Committee of the Ten Thou
sand Club Suggests to the People
of Ell Centre What They May Put
in the Ground to Help America to
Produce More Food in 1918.
What the Spring Garden May Con-
tain.

What the Spring Garden May Con-
tain.
Many are asking daily what to
plant at this time of year. Plant
everything you planted in your win
ter garden, such as onions, lettuce,
turnips, carrots, radishes, beets, spin
ach etc, and, in addition to these,
plant string beans, sweet corn, to-
matoes, cucumbers, potatoes and sweet
potatoes.
Someone may suggest that it is
too late in the season to plant gar
den, but if you will begin your prep
arations at once and plant immedi-
Iately, you will have garden which
will yield more quickly and more
abundantly than the winter garden.
One of our pioneer women tells us
the best garden she ever had in Ell
Centre was planted the latter part
of February. The days will be grow
ing warmer in a very short time,
seeds will germinate quickly and your
garden will be producing in a couple
of months.
Food Director Hoover appeals to
the American people to cat more veg
etables. He says: eff we double the
proportion of vegetables we use, we
will diminish proportionately the
drain on bread and meat supplies" :"
The Allies and our army in France
must have our wheat and meat and
we must supply the substitutes by
the planting of vegetables.
The United States Food Admin
lstrator suggests the potato as one
valuable substitute for meat and
wheat. He says: plant potatoes.
Eat them three times a day. Serve
them baked, boiled, riced, mashed,
creamed and in soups. Use them in
making pancakes, bread, rolls and
biscuits. Use them to take the place
of part of the wheat bread. Never
waste them. Their starch and min
eral content is valuable"
Because of the lateness of the rains
farmers on the Coast have not plant
ed as many potatoes as contemplated,
which probably means potato
shortage this summer, when prices
will again be high Therefore, it
would seem advisable for every fam
lily to plan to raise its own potatoes
Potatoes take the place of many
things withdrawn for war rations.
Mr. Kelly, the seed man, suggests
the planting of the Early White Rose
potato and seed can be obtained from
!, him. A few growers have not been
as successful with potatoes as with
other vegetables, but, on the other
? hand, the we'll knon rwancher, Ed For

good yields, which demonstrates that
