Must Secure Petitions
 For Stock Laws

A number of citizens of diff erenr townships south of the river, have spoken to me regard ing stock laws which thes would like to have the comming Legis- lature pass for them. People of Middle, Mill Creek, Grover, Barham, and Witch, seems to be most inter ested,
 do not desire to pass any law which the majority of the people do not want, and suggest that the people of the above townships, and others if inter ested. meet at their respective voting precincts Monday night, Dec. 9th, and decide as to wheth CT they want any such law or not, and further the kind of law they desire. And at said meet ting appoint or elect one or threa delegates committee to confer with like committees from other interested townships to meet at Webb City. Saturday December 14th at ? P. M. A law for all alike will do away with the confusion caused by different stock laws to citizens living along township lines.
 Then when the kind of law desired is agreed upon, prepare yo4r petitions in each township showing the kind of law desir ed and if majority desire that such law be passed, we will try and pass the kind desired. Petitions when prepared may be presented to either Sen. King. MT Henry, or my self, and one or the other of US will take the matter up when the Legislature meets. l do not expect to int, rfere with matters or introduce local bill. unless am clearly shown a majority of the people effected desire same. Make the necessary announcements in your Sunday Schools.

ALLIES ARE FED
 BY SELF DENIAL
Generous Doing Without k Amerioa Supplied Food
 to Europa

Exports from this country since h entered the war have kept starvation from Allied Europe and have mAin- tained the health and strength of those who have been bearing the brunt of our battles, % that they could hold out to victory Now that hostilities have ceased we must assume the add ed burden of keeping starvation from increasing It's toll upon the millions who have been liberated from the Prussian yoke. Famine would undo the work which has been accomplished in freeing the world for democracy. No stable government can be established and maintained by a nation harassed by hunger A starving people turns to rioting and anarchy. Food has given strength and courage to the na- tions fighting for democracy; It must now give the nations strength and tranauillity to re-establlsh themselves in freedom and democracy,
 Without our help It would have been absolutely impossible for the Allies to maintain a living ration. Since our entry Into the war We have been con trtbuting largely to the support of one hundred and twenty million people whose normal food supplies have been cut off, whose production has fallen almost to the vanishing point, whose fields have been devastated by Ger many. The food exported from the United States in the past year has been sufficient to supply the complete ration of twentytwo million people.
 It Is hard to grasp the magnitude and significance of the assistance which has been lent the Allies b. the patriotic voluntary service of the American people. The food we sent abroad last year would have been suf- flcient to feed one-flfth of our popula- ton. And this was done in spite of the fact that we entered the year with short crops. Our surplus was practi- cally nothing. An overwhelming pro portion of the food that left this coun- try last year was saved out of the nor .la home consumption of our own people.
 In spite of difficulties met In inter- nal transportation and shortage of ocean tonnage our food exports last year amounted to a figure that few years ago would have been unbelieva ble Even the most optimistic element of our population faced with anxious consternatIon the prospect which opened before us with the beginning of the 1917 harvest year.
 The American people have not been compelled to save. They have been appealed to on the basis of humanity and of patriotism. They have re sponded voluntarily.

Subject of Childbirth Discussed by
 Women of Experience.

Women everywhere tell their friends how, through the use of Mothers Friend, the wonderful penetrating external application, they avoided suffering and distress before tho advent of natures most wonderful evo- 1ution.
 Mothers Friend Is a remedy which spreads its influence upon the cords. nerves and fragments involved. rendering them pliant to readily yield to natures demand tor expansion. The nerves. cords, tendons and fragments expand without that peculiar wrenching strain, and nervousn sss, nausea and unrestful sensations are naturally avoided when the nerves and muscles arc relieved and thus are not tort and drawn.
 By regular use, the lower abdominal re- lton expands with ease when baby Is born, the hours are less at the crisis, and pain and danger Is naturally less.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED FnEss
Soldiers and Diplomats

If the allied diplomats write their notes on
the basis of opinion obtained from the soldiers,
they will not permit Germany to escape punish
lnent for her evil doing The opinion of the
fighters is worth infinitely than that of the
civilian who is neither bearing the brunt of the
work nor jeopardizing his life and limb.
The sentiment Of the soldiers is for con-
tinued prosecution of the war until Germany is
defeated on the field of battle. They argue, and
rightly so, if the German generals and soldiers
are able to withdraw behind their own frontier,
under an armistice, the power of Germany is not
broken. The German people will still believe in
the invincibility of the army. If, however, the
German army is sent back to the frontier hope
lessly defeated, or if the army is defeated on
German soil, all belief in the invulnerability of
German arms will be forever shattered
The only method of eradicating German be-
lief in the invincible German army is crushing de-
feat And this is possible only on the field of
battle. 1t never can be attained at peace table.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-10-23

friends and former associates in business or in
dustry too often forget that letter is worth
more than dollar to the fighter.
Almost every letter from the fighters on land
and sea emphasize the value they place on receiv-
ing news from home. And when you write do not
restrict your writing to home affairs Tell the
boys what is going on in the community, what
their friends are doing, what has happened in
your city. This is news that they will read with
relish and satisfaction.
Some stores and factories have little clubs
that write weekly letters to the boys that have
entered the service from these places. They keep
them in touch with changes in the establishment,
improvements, gossip about the workers and
scores Of other items that are Of interest and
entertainment. Here is a phase of soldier letter
writing that might be emulated with success in
scores of establishments.
