The war profteers along GER
tain lines it is said have made
from 100 to 5000 per cent above
their normal profit in pre-war
times and then their profits were
abnormally large. And today
Uncle Sam is adjusting his
glasses and scrutinizing these
fearful percentages with a view of
taking some of it away from the
thieves to help win the war. Uncle
Sam should use the same figures
on these people as they have used
on the general public.

Again the Home Guards have
marched to the station and an
other consignment of our lads
have started on the long trail fol
Berlin. How many times they
have marched and how many Of
our boys are gone from us. Think
OF the home faces looking ahead
over the long way to the battle
front. Think of the heartaches
on the station platform as the
loved ones waved goodbye as the
train pulled out ON the first leg
of the five or more thousand miles
to the trenches. How many tears
have been shed by the good old
mothers. Think of the sadness OF
the wife, sister, sweetheart and
friends as the coach swings out
OF sight around the curve and
"Son" is gone to follow the
colors.
And God bless "Son." Bring
him home to us all who are left
behind. Bend him down with
medals of honor for he has gone
to save his home and yours and

Great conservation is going on
in and around Ely these days.
Everything edible is coming in
from the woods and being stored
away for future needs. The
BURBERRY crop just now is occu-
plying the attention Of the house
holder and many bushels of these
have been brought in. Father,
mother and the whole family are
securing the woods for the
eats. /" The weather conditions
have been ideal for the work and
the crop is said to- be an abund-
ant one.

WHAT BULGARIA MUST DO.

According to the reply which has been made to the Bulgarian request for an armistice looking to the ar rangement of g. peace which would re- move that country from the war, it is quite evident that the entente nations are not disposed to step into any trap which would be to the advantage Of the central powers As was to be expected, and as was indicated by the reply given by General Esperey to the hearers of the request the allied na- tions require Bulgaria to uncondition- ally surrender. That means that Bull garia must get out Of the war, that 1t must withdraw it's forces from terri tory which it has occupied and that it must demobilize its army and sever it's relations with Germany, Austria and Turkey.
 That may or may not have been in the mind of Premier Malinkoff when ne sent emissaries to the commander of the allied forces in Macedonia. but hat is what is required and if Bull 2aria as a nation wants peace that is .ne way in which it can get it. There can be no opening left which would allow Bulgaria breathing spell in which to reorganize it's army or to get assistance from other sources. That is being guarded against by the continuance of the activities in that theater of the war There can be ID chances taken of the peace arrange ment falling through after an armis- tice has been declared.
 Thus there has been no letting up in the advantage which the allied armies are operating under. The Bu,- gars are daily being pushed back and the position of the entente armies i'm proved. Valuable points are being taken and not only are the Bulgdre feeling the effect of it but it is like wise threatening the Austrian forces in Albania. There can and there will be no let up in the magnificent drive

timei thus a bird may be shipped in apparently good condition and later develop a bad case of chicken pox.
 There are many remedies offered from different sources. As in any contagious disease the affected birds should be isolated and treated in- dividually or killed. While the flock should be given a preventive treat ment. The scabs or sores should be rubbed with a grease, earbolated vas cline Is good and after few hours this should be removed and the aff- ected spot treated with a two per cent. solution of creolin of tincture of iodine. A clearing out of the bowels is always good in any disease with fever, but is is needed early and sell dom more than once Epson salts can be easily given to a flock by dis solving in water one-haf a teaspoon ful per bird, and mixing the solution in a mash. There is one flock treat ment for chicken pox that has won the approval of many poultry owners; that is, the daily use of about five per cent. of sulphur in the mash Take nineteen pounds of dry mash and mix with it one pound of powdered sul- phur. Feed this for five days, then omit two days, and follow this plan for three weeks. No treatment is an excuse for careless attention or keep 1 ing fowls under unsanitary conditions. HI. D.

THE DIAMOND sHoAL LleHrsHIP

The sinking by German submarine of the [. g. Diamond Shoal lightship anchored off Cape Hatteras gives timely interest to the following war geography bulletin of the National Geographic Society, based on a com munication concerning lightships re- ceived by the Society from George R. Putnam, the foremost authority on lighthouses. The bulletin says:
 Notwithstanding the severe con- ditions Diamond Shoal light vessel off Cape Hatteras, has in recent years been maintained on the station with little interruption. The vessel was moored with 1900 pound mushroom anchor and 150 fathoms (900l feet of heavy chain. About one-third of the length from the vessel a submerged spherical buoy was attached to the chain, carrying a part of it's weight and greatly easing the pull of the yes sel.
 "The latest lightships are provided with powerful and distinctive lights and fog signals. They more nearly approach the lighthouse in design having a heavy tubular iron mast sur mounted by a lantern, sometimes with a revolving lens supported like pen dulum to hang vertically so that the light beam will be kept near the horizon regardless of the motion of the vessel. An example is the recently completed Milwaukee light vessel which shows double flash every 1t seconds. This vessel has fog sisnal

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Don't overlook the very important duty of getting your Liberty bonds at inc earliest possible opportunity.
 This is one of the years when the housewife pays slight attention to the pound for pound rule in canning.
 With Bulgaria feeling itself slip ping, Greece is ready and rejoicing with a new to help it on its way
 Baron rian of Austria Hungary will ha7 D admit that Premier Mali noff has gone him one better on the peace talk.
 The precautions which are being taken against the spread of the in fluenza are no more drastic than the situation calls for.
 From the arrests which are being made about the country it is evident that there are still too many enemy agents in our midst Something to worry about What is going to become of all the empty beer barrels, kegs and bottles when prohi- bition goes into effect? The man on the corner says: The arrival of the melancholy days is bad enough without being accompsnie1 ] with the Spanish influenza. Chancellor von Hertline is finding out that he cannot give expression to the haiser's ideas, his own and at the same time please the people. That German general who declared we will settle with the American ar mies' was right. but the settlement will not be the kind he had in mind.
 Someone will have to be held re- sponsible for the belief which existed l in Germany that General Fochs army Of manoeuver had been wiped out.
 The kaiser is reported as diving into a cellar during an air raid at Mann helm, but he will have to go deeper than that if he expects to keep away from the allies.
 1t was thought that General Allen by had made & big catch when it was announced that 15,000 prisoners has | been taken in Paestine, but now the number is three times as large and still growing.
 With the loss to the central pow. ers of upwards of 250,00O in prisoners alone since General Foch turned tho | tide of battle, and other casualties which must figure up as large, if no larger Germany must be wondering how it is going to bolster up it's mar ! power.

CHICKEN Pox OR SORE HEAD.

Chicken pox, sore head. or bird pox is a condition characterized by an
 eruption of noduies varying from the
 size of a pinhead to that of a lima
 bean. They occur on those parts of
 the birds head not covered with
 feathers, and less frequently on the
 skin of other parts Of the body. These
 nodules are of reddish gray or vel
 Jewish gray color. often showing dis
 tinctly in their earlier stages of de-
 velOpment a peculiar greasy lUster,
 and are rather firm to the touch.
 Their surface soon becomes covered
 with dirty gray or red brown crust
 They vary in size according to their
 age: and frequently lie rather close
 to one another so that the affected
 parts look as if coarsely granu.ated;
 or they are crowded together in such
 manner as to give the appearance
 of large warts. with divisions through
 them.
 If the edges of the eyelids are aff-
 ected by these sores the lids become
 nodular, swollen and closed, giving
 the bird the appearance of roup. The
 eyes may become closed so that the bird cannot see to eat. They get
 poor and die from exhaustion.
 Sore head is germ disease having Il peIItd u lHCuDd liOll, t4-~u q IllS HIS tory somewhat like that of measles or scarlet fever in humans After re- covering from an attack the bird is immune. If a hen is exposed to the disease and does not become infected, 1t is because she had the disease when younger. There is a period of incubation of from two to twenty days
 after the bird is infected before the sores or scabs appear. The length of this period depends upon the weather and the condition of the bird.
 The source of infection is in the blood of the sick bird in the soft parts of the scabs, and in the discharge from the ulcers, and possibly from the mucous of the nostrils and mouth. i In working with the disease or in pre- venting t these facts should be born in mind. Dry, sunny weather is sure death to most germs while damp, dark conditions are favorable for their growth and spread.
 Chicken pox is spread in many ways. Mosquitoes, flies, mites, and possibly ants are carriers of the germ. Birds, especially pigeons. are known to be infected with the disease and in going from one farm or locality to another distribute the germs. Ship ping coops and birds going from one farm to another, or from poultry shows or fairs to farms may come in contact with the germs and carry it about Birds may become infected and not develop sore head for some

 THE HOUSEWIFE Tomatoes for canning must never be over ripe.
 Excellent mullins can be made of barley and hominy.
 A good marmalade is made of or ange and apricots.
 Quick breads can be very well made without any wheat fiour.
 Rice onelet may be made with peas left over. The rice is best used hot. Beat cake batter as little as pos sible after flour has been put into the mixture.
 Freshly made jelly really has fin. CT flavor than that which has stood for long time.
 Try whipping cream in small glass globes such as are used for gold fish It does not spatter
 In cases of burns, powdered char coal soothes the pain and heals the sore very quickly.
 To make pies deliciously brown on top, brush over with milk just before putting them in oven.

PRUsslAN ARROGANCE
By Courtney Ryleey Copper
 of The Ngilantes


 It was arrogance that gave Kulture to the world-7and it will be arrogance that will finally wipe it out For mo- where in the world does inflated pig headed arrogance exist as it exists in the mind of the true German. The boasted efficiency of the German is widely known because he has press agented it. He ehas announced that l.e is efficient, and the world has been impressed bp the unstinted arrogance with which the announcement has been showed down our throat. But Time brings forth great many things. And one of the thin which it is bringing forth now is the fact that in this efficiency there is far more egotism than there is result.
 Never was arrogance more bound- fully displayed than in the person of Capt. Franz von Papen, Military At States. Sc escorned to use many of i tache from Germany to the United the codes that the more shrewd Boy Ed devised. He delighted in calling the American nation those idiotic Yankees" And yet Whenever Capt. von Papen at tempted some greeat schemee of de- struction, he was blocked by the Secret Service CT the Department of Justice. His fiasco a. ainst the Well land Canal resul ed in his Icing | sh pped home. His best lieutenants, Won Igel, Fay yon Rintelen, Koenig, and all the rest, found the claws of the Unted States government .insead i of the roses of success in their ! omb- 1 ing and destruction campaigns. For 1 always arrogant, always believing taat | his "enemp," the patient United l State was nation of mullet heads and simpletons, von Papen never cov- cred his tracks.
 Nor is the German nation. in it's ar i rogance now, covering it's tracks. In every action. quite unwiliingly finds the light of day, because Of the arrogance that discloses it. There is no efficiency that discloses i. There s no efficiency ha can allow arrogance l as an assisan or as an ingredient For some day that ingredient will en- veelope it.
 That is just what is happening the German nation. And that is why the German nation is doomed tt failure
