LuII In Belgium.

LulI In Belgium.
In Belgium there has been com.
parative lull in the combat during the
past few days but it is improbable
that the allies will be content to stand
on the western bank of the Scheldt
river and the Eecloo-Zebrugge canal
after they have been able to bring up
their heavy guns. In a country inter.
sected with canals and streams, with
bridges destroyed and roads mined
at frequent intervals, the work OF
moving artillery is very difficult and
this may be the reason for the tenn
porary check in the sweeping advance
which drove the enemy back from
Nieuport to within seven miles of
Ghent
Allied detachments which are hold
ing the Dvina front in north Russia,
have been forced to beat off heavy at
tacks by Bolshevik troops, but have
succeeded in holding their ground and
even moving their lines forward
French and Serbian forces in Ser
bia continue to advance toward the
Austrian frontier. Vienna admits that
Austrian troops have retired to Jag
odina, village southeast of Belgrade
and about forty miles from the bound
ary between Austria and Serbia.

this junta of Government officials, country squires, irpnmastersI adrnirals,
 and big manufacturers exercises and
 odious tyranny on all the people de-
 pendent on it. Woe betide the village
 constable, the concierge, the factory
 hand, or agricultural laborer underling
 who dares refuse his monthly gift to the Fatherland Party's funds.
 AS for all the fuss about democrati-
 sation, think it is mostly moonshine,
 manufactured for the benefit of the
 romantically inclined English Radical There is discontent simmering up and
 down the country, but to quiet it a pound of butter week would go farther than any promise of political reform. The riots that take place in the towns from time to time are the
 work of women whose husbands have Iong been away in the field and who have got out of hand. Mobs of half grown lads run wild and get into mis- chief, and worse than mischief.
 Tn Bavaria the Emperor and Ber- lin, never popular, are now less popu-

 been Bavarian born they say per haps there might have been something in it, but he is Hessian. In Bava- | ria, as elsewhere, the Emperor has

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Needs to Get Posted.

Mir. Editor: I saw a letter by J. H. Cummings in your paper of the ieth which I take as an insult for I arr farmer and have been for 40 years in both the United States and the Canadian Northwest. and still have no motor car either. But anyone can see by his letter that he is no farmer for really I don't think he could tell oats from wheat, growing side by side He puts much stress on wheat and still he cannot tell the cost of pro- ducing a bushel of wheat in this state or in the northwest. so how is it that he is such good. judge of farm pro- duce when he would buy gourd for a summer squash and grumble because 1t was bitter and call the former a hog for selling. it.
 Now I advise MT. Cummings to get a little better posted on what the far nler has to pay for help and many other things that I will not go into de- tails about, but if you wish to know will give you facts and figures on the same. as I keep a strict account of all that I buy and sell on the farm and have for many years. Last year sold produce for less than it cost me to raise it and it was the only year that I came out even. ] suppose it was on account of my being so hog gish and while I was working to raise that produce Mr Cummings was try ing to create trouble between his peo ple here and those in Ireland But when he saw that he could not suc- ceed at that he turns to the is offen- sive farmer just because he thinks the farmer has his way more than he does and yet does not get spanked for lit!

so received. A further guard will be established to check the enemy from benefting by making it obligatory for each and every neutral to which Nor way exports any foodstuffs to be covered by the same restrictions when such goods or those like them have been obtained from the United States
 This country will likewise gain in imports from Norway although the ex- ports. from Norway to the central powers ef food and other material which it produces must be limited, manufactured goods which have been produced by the aid of material from the United States being likewise made non esiportable to the enemy A decided advantage has thus been gained by this country and from the reports it will likewise mean much re-
 lief to Norway. and as the result of this understanding it is not unlikely that an equally favorable agreement will be ohtainable in regard to the Norwegian shipping. This should eef- tainiy supplement the other if Nor way distinguishes between friend and foe.

 him is putting the Emperor and the royal princes entirely in the shade. On the other hand, Hindenburg came with the war and will go with the war. In Bavaria and elsewhere the rynastic sentiment is so strong that nothing can root it out.
 T consider that, however the war ends, whether the German Empire continues to hold together officially or not afterwards, the. result will be an enormous intensification of separatist l feeling in the various constituent | States.
 .'As regards the food position, I should say that it is only acute for l people of small means. They are the only ones who suffer the bangs of real hunger, especially the small officials, the police, the schoolmasters, the min l isters of religion, and people living on small salaries or annuities or sav l ings.
 Tt is generally recognized in Ger many that German prisoners of war in British hands have been we'll treat l ed, and the impression is now begin ming to get abroad that the treatment of British prisoners has not always | been what it might"

MEET THE FOOD CRISIS.

If Food Administrator Hoover be- ueves that it is necessary to set forth the plain facts. even though they do not show a rosy condition, if the need ed action is going to be secured to overcome them, he is thoroughly justi- lied in his recent claim to the effect that the country faces a two months crisis in the food situation. He is recognized as being thoroughly in touch with the situation and he fully realizes the mistake in covering up conditions without making some ef- fort through a knowledge of the situa- ton to bring about an improvement
 In this matter MT. Hoover declares that 1t is not the crops which cause concern for he has in mind the sup plies which are already on hand. But having the supplies and getting them distributed is now the great problem and it is quite apparent that there must be the closest cooperation on the part of the railroads if this is going to be accomplished.
 No one is probably more gratified therefore, than the food administra- tor at the confident declaration from Director General McAdoo that the railroads, which are now under gov. ernmept control and thus better pre- pared to meet such requirements, will see that the transportation is provided If Mir. Hoover will point out where il is required. MT. McAdoo believes that the railroads can meet the situation and 1t is certainly to be hoped tha; they can and if the food adrniuistra. tor and the director general of rail roads work hand in hand the crfsi. may be axerted. Nothing is more i'm. portart to the country both for its own needs and the requirements O. its soldiers and allies than that yer, thing. The opportunity to present tn, proof Is at hand.

WATER POWER pEvELcpMENT.

Lessons are gradually being learned regarding the value of the waterpower advantages which prevail in this and other parts of the country, and par ticularly regarding the lack of atten- tion which has been given them in the past. Nothing has done more to teach these than the coal shortage which has prevailed during the present win ter. Because we have been able in the past to depend largely upon coal for fuel we have failed to take advan- tage of the enormeis nafn~ai re- sources which exist right at Cur very door, but our eyes have been opened and henceferth it can be ant.einatea that greater effcrts than ever will te made to save and utilize the 'whiie coaf' with which many sections are so abundantly favored. r +--,
 Evidence to support this belief is furnished by the conservation scheme which is already being carried out along the Connecticut river ana it's tributaries where 6ans and conserYa tion reservoirs are being constructed for the storage O. the water which ic so plentiful throughout the yea. Thiy will make ie possible to release l. sy4 desired for the operation of the hydre- electric plants which are already es tablished or which may be erected in the future. At the same time it is a guard against the dry seasons and il is to be remembered that by the de- peiopment of all power privileges the water can be used over and over again.
 This means not only a saving ot coal and it's hauling over long dis tanees but it means conservation oi natural resources which means chear and efficient power, and the next few years should see such growth in that direction as has never been experi- enced before.

HAPPY YOUTH.


 It is so easy to- say the word that checks laughter; to scowl at the ex- tolerance that bubbles over in foolish girl and boy jests. It is difficult for us of an older generation to remember how, when we were young, we loved to laugh and sing and dance and make merry. Youth is 50 sensitive and it is so easy to spoil an evening with just a glance or an impatient word. When one comes in, glowing from wonder full evening, a querulous voice or a fault finding word is like sticking a pin into a gay balloon. Sympathy is SC much better. Even if youth is head strong the fault finding does not dc very much good. but often harm. But sympathy gains confidence, and con- fdence between the young and the old is a. great safeguard for youth and well worth cultfvating.

SETTING coLoRs.

In these days of unsatisfactory dyes perhaps some one twill be helped by this
 The safest way to set colors is to do so before washing.
 For browns, blacks and pinks use one cup salt to one-half gallon water. Soak goods in this mixture for a few hours.
 For blues, uses one half cup vinegar to every gallon of water. Soak few hours.
 For lavender, use one tablespoonful sugar of lead to one gallon of water. Soak goods a few hours.
 Using the proper "fxer'' for the proper color will give excellent results

STORIES OF THE WAR
Germany's Declining Fait4, in Victory

Germany's Declining Faith in Victory
 Germany's decling faith in victory
 is described by Ia well-to-do neutral
 medical man who lately left Germany, after living in Augsburg during the
 war period" Writing from Berne to
 the Daily Mail. he declared that
 though still believing that Germany
 could not be beaten. the. German peo-
 pie had long since become war-weary
 and had given up hopes of the so- called German peace.
 "The masses he continued, fare in an hysterieal state, one minute pray ing for peace at any price and the next under the influence of some piece
 of news, some we'll organized patriotic concert or kinefnatograph exhibition got up, by the Fatheriand (annexation- ist) Party, at which they will be shouting wild applause and singing Deutschland, Deutschland uber AL lies"
 "The F'atherland Party is justly re- garded by many people as the chief obstacle to peace. In Bavaria it's propaganda is uneastng and is ad- vancing by leaps and bounds. The party has unlimited funds and good business men to spend the money l judiciously in cultivating the German will to power On the other hand.

If your rugs have worn through in spots and yet you do not care to dis card 1t cut out the area affected. Cut any part of the pattern that is not worn from this piece. Buy piece oE material as near the color of the back ground of the rug as you can and sew it on the back of the rug. filling in the hole made from cutting the worn part away. Now take the bits of pattern that you have saved and applique them on to this patch, making it as near as possible in design as the rest of the rug. The result will look much better than worn spot and will be hard to detect. Of course, this plan is only feasible for small areas.

EXTRA SASH CURTAINS.

Cheap sash curtains made of cheese cloth, gathered on a tape, and tackled on to the window frame, serve excel lently as substitutes for the hangings when the latter are being laundered. No one likes to leave their windows uncurtained and yet, in such a city as ours. frequent laundering is necessary for the curtains. To provide two pairs of curtains for each window is ex- pensive, but these eheesecloth curtains look dainty, are reasonable, and pro- vide privacy

ASHES FOR GARDEN.

In this day of great scarcity of pot aslr wood ashes are coming into their own as one of the best fertilizers known Not one ounce of wood ashes should go to waste in any home where there is garden.
 Keep a box large enough to hold several bushels of wood ashes and into this put the ashes from the ashpan. Then, when the box. is filled, sprinkle the ashes over the garden. Potatoes, grain and all garden vegetables do better by being feftilized with wood ashes.

VEST AND COLLARS.

The waistcoat and the collar are novel features this season of street costumes, too These waistcoats o1 silk or of cloth are often the one elab- crate touch lending charm to the simple tailored frock. Waistcoats oi Louis XIV. style and the little shor4 waisteoat of the peasant type or those inspired by mems waistcoats of the present day; the cotton waistcoat imitation of the old style of our grand fathers in cretonne-there is such in- finite variety that one can be sure o1 giving to an open jacket an entirely new and interesting aspect.

THE AGREEMENT WITH SPAIN.

The fallacy of it's position in hold ing up the supplies which had been ordered in Spain for the American forces in Fraace has apparently heen recognized by Sfsi:l in view of tlle trade agreement wtich # has now signed. with the United States This na.ans that the blankets. mules and food which have been heaiSlst there will be allowed to go forth ,rni1npaded and that Spain vii le given such foodstuffs as it requires iron. this country, where severa' ef it's ships have been held up unit the agree ment was signed,
 That the treatment which Spain is receiving from Germany through the destruction of it's vessels by subfaa : rines ani the support which was given to the anarchists in Madrid by the representatives of Germany had thei1 effect in hastening the agreement is probable, for regardless of the pro- German sentiment which has been created in that country it cannot helI being fact that this has been to $ large degree removed by Gernany's action. The destruction of Spanish shipping which has been increased since the agreement was signed and the open and persistent effort to breal down the Spanish government are SC fragrant that the ulterior motives O Germany are clearly outlined. Spair has been stabbed in the back as neu tral and it is only natural that i should show it's resentment. Int greatest cause for surprise is that i has not done so before or that undel existing conditions it is satisfied to dt nothing more than make fruitless pro tests.

FRIVOLOUS HATS.

With her costumes in dark colors, the
 Parisienne is wearing a hat of some frivolous shade, and a sof. rose is first
 in favor. These hats are made of vel vet; the material is shirred on the
 brim, sometimes with long silk stitches
 which show plainly. The crowns are unusually high and the trimming of the simplest. They are worn 50 far down on the bead that they completely cover the eyebrows. We must learn to rec ognize each feminins. aesGaio tance by her nose. That is all the mode permits us to see. Hats down aud cellars UT is the order. and the effect is almost as ccncealiag as that of a gas mask.

RUBBER oSERsHoEs.

Do not put Fubbers near hot stove or a steam pipe: the heat will burn the material and make it crack,
 Do not leave them outside of the
 house-on the front porch to dry, if exposed to sunlight-for this will also crack them. Freezing, too, makes rub bers brittle and apt to break or tear. Don't wear high heeled rubbers on low heeled shoes. or low heeled rub bers on high heeled shoes, as the rub bers will then break out at the heels.

Jlu JITsu FOR GIRLS.

Japanese women never have the -backache, are rarely stoop shouidered, and in endurance equal their brothers. One of the reasons given for this is that the Japanese girls are taught jiu jitsu wrestling and are made to feel proud of their athletic prowess. Grown men and women practice their jiu jitsu together, and it is not infre- quent. that the man is worsted.

MUST HAVE HEALTHY CAMPS.

Wherever the government stakes out a camp for the accommodation of its soldiers during period of training the greatest care should be seen that all conditions necessary to their health should be met This has invariably been done, but there has been com plaint regarding the conditions ai Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C., which were the subject of a new attack ir the lover house of congress last week
 It was only recently that this camI was pointed out as being poorly To- eated that it did not possess the prop CT drainage system and that the soi was not conducive to satisfactory camp location, and to this complaint has been added that of two New Hampshire representatives who al lege that the roads and walks had moi been built, that the sewer system had not been constructed and that equip ment and medical supplies were lack ing.
 The last tive named handicaps have little to do with the location it is sur missed, but certainly there should be no thought of toierating training camp without a sewage system and 2 soil of clay is certainly not the mosi favorable on which to construct 2 camp for the training of thousands o1 men.
 While rumor has it that the camI is to be abandoned except for ayia- tion purposes no official announcement has been made to that effect, but eer' tainly the most determined effort: should be made to see that the soldier. are surrounded with every protection against disease and if it is neaessar,
