The Kaiser's latest peace pro-
posals are looked upon with just as
much suspicion as all former offers
of this willy one to treat with the
allies. And it is to be noted as he
makes them the retreating Germans
continue to burn villages and deya-
state country they are compelled to
fall back from. This is the type OF
the Kaiser's sincerity. With victory
perching on our arms and those OF
the allies, and defeat and doom con-
fronting him, this man withou'
honor extends his bloody hand
for an honorable" peace, and ex-
poets decent nations to grasp 1t.
The Kaiser knows no law but
force, and by force will that hand
extended" be crushed until it never
again will be able to inflict pain on
man or nation.

The Meaning OF Your Subscription
To The Fourth Liberty Loan.

What is the Liberty Loan?
It's forts and it's ships and it's shin
ing guns.
It's sQuadrons that sweep the sea.
It's all of the circling band Of steel
That shall keep all the home shores
free.
It's grub and it's warmth for the
sailor lad
Far out on the wintry foam. w
For the brave jack tar, as he fights
afar,
It's the good old Money from
home"
What is the Liberty Loan?
It's rife and helm and it's bayonet
It's shovel and shard and shell
For the soldier boy in the olive drab
Out there ON the edge Of hell.
It's the soaring wings Of the whir-
ring planes ;
That battle on high alone.
For the lad who is daring "Ovei
there
It's the good old money from
home"
What is the Liberty Loan?
It's succor and life for a bleeding
world.
It's the glimmer of Peace at dawn.
It's the strength Of a mighty arm to
strike.
It's the CLEAN of a great sword
drawn.
But, more than all, it's the pledge OF
love
To the lads whom we call "Our
own"
To the boys on land, afloat, ON high.
It's the good old Money from
home" sA.~

and will rent for six dollars a month
Tenants who cannot pay will be

The rent from the cottages, 1t has

Food Value OF Nuts.

In connection with the campaign
for gathering nut shells for gas
masks, it should be borne in mind
that nuts are among the richest and
most wholesome of our foods
Wherever possible the kernels OF
the native nuts should be added to
the home supply of foods.
The hard shells. not the husks, OF
black walnuts, butternuts, hickory
nuts, Persian (English)' walnuts
Japanese walnuts, and the seeds OF
such fruits as peaches, plums
prunes, apricots and olives are ex-
ceedingly useful in the making OF
carbon for gas masks. The shells
of pecans and almonds cannot be
used.
Seven pounds Of hard nut shells
or two hundred peach pits, will
make enough carbon for one gas
mask. Thousands of tons of COCO
nut shells and shells of cohune nuts
from tropical America, and carloads
OF fruit pits from the Pacific Coast
are being used. Still the supply is
not sufficient.
Nuts which cannot readily be
cracked, those which have become
stale with age, or those which have
failed to develop plump kernels
should be turned over to the Red
Cross. Black walnuts and butter
nuts which are not to be cracked
may be sent in without removing
the outer husk. Arrangements OIL
gathering and shipping nuts, nut
shells and fruit pits can be made
through the local Red Cross.

Business After The War.

Many people are wondering just
what will be the business situation
when peace comes. A few are open
ly skeptical as to the prospect and
are inclined to talk pessimistically'
but evidently they are either short
sighted or altogether blind, for the
signs of the times all point to great
business activity and prosperity in
the war.
This country will be the one great
creditor nation. England. France,
Italy, Russia and other countries
will not only, like America, owe
huge war debts to their own people,
but they will be indebted to America
to the extent of billions of dollars.
Then too, the destruction of great
areas of their urban and rural
sections, and the depletion of their
resources will make it necessary for
them to call upon America for
manufactured products of many
kinds as we'll as for great quantities
of raw material. Moreover, the
antipathy which all the world Is
certain to feel towards Germany and
German products for many years tc
come as well as the cordially which
they are likely to feel towards
America for her powerful assistance
in destroying the German menace,
are certain to add greatly to. the ex-
tent and volume Of our foreign
trade after the war not only with
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and
Canada, but also with Central and
South America.
While taxes may be heavy for
some years, they will soon be re-
duced much below the wartime level.
Establishments in business will OF
course be necessary as the armies
demobilize and the boys come home
again, and also as the munition
plants and other strictly war indus
tries slow down. but it will not take
long for ,pre-war industrial condi-
tions to re-establish themselves and
unless the war continues much long
er than now seems probable, it is
extremely unlikely that this process
of readjustment will seriously delay
the coming of prosperous business
conditions in America after the war

HOG CHOLERA CAUSED
BY VERY SMALL GERM
Dangerous Factor in Spreading
Disease Is Sick Animal.
Ailment Cannot Always Be Diagnosed
With Absolute Certainty, as Symp-
toms Are Not Uniform-Pre-
Vention Is Best.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricuture)
The real cause of hog cholera is a
very small germ found in the blood or
urine. 1t may be said that anything
which tends to lower the health of the
animal, such as improper feeding, in
sanitary conditions of hog lots, damp
or cold sleeping places and dirty
drinking and feeding trOughs may be
regarded as an indirect cause.
Since the disease can only be started
by the introduction of the germ into
the herd and the organism is always
present In the bodies of sick hogs and
is thrown off in the feces and urine,
the most dangerous factor in spread
ing the disease is the sick animal.
1t may get into the herd by sick
hogs escaping from a neighboring herd,
by the purchase of new stock not
showing symptoms, by returning show
hogs after visits to fairs or stockyards,
and by the purchase of hogs which APP
parently have recovered.
The symptoms are not constant anC
uniform, therefore the disease cannot
always be diagnosed with absolute GER
tainty. Animals suffering from intes-
final troubles, Indigestion and poison
ing exhibit symptoms which closely re-
BILE those of cholera.
In the early stages hogs huddle to-
