Rice should have a more important
place in the diet, says the United States
Department Of Agriculture in one OF
peries of statements reviewing the agrl
cultural situation for 1918. Increased
production and consumption Of rice not
only would expand profitable industry.

The average per capita consumption OF
six pounds per year In the United States IS
smaller than that of many European
countries where rice is not even produced
Norway and Sweden consume over
pounds per capita. Russia over pounds,
England 27 pounds, France "a pounds.

countries do not begin 10 eat as much rice

SEDAN COMMUNITY
HAS STACKER

Wednesday of this week in the lit
tie village of Sedan just twenty-five
miles south of Clayton, John Scott
appeared on the streets with wagon
load of choice watermelons. \
large crowd of people gathered to
listen to the patriotic speeches. and
on account of the importance of the
occasion Scott had no doubt planned
on ready market for his produce.
But to the surprise of tliis dry land
gardner he discovered that the pco-
plc had gathered for the purpose
of talking over the War situation
and planning on ways and means of
helping the Red Cross and other War
charity organizations. Mr.. Scott
was asked to price his melons, which
he did at seventy cents each. Mr..
Johnson, merchant, and several
others agreed to buy the entire load
at the price he had named, if he
would donate half of the proceeds
to the Red Gross. To this the un-
grateful, but yet American citizen,
replied that he had not invested a
recent in War Savings Stamps, Lib
ty Bonds Or in any way contributed
to any of the various War Charity
Organizations. Scott was branded
by the crowd as a Stacker" and
called many names not to be found
in print, but all Of this did not in
timidate the stalwart character, a
subject of which Germany would
well afford to be proud.
But thanks to the spirit of pa
triotism that trickled thru the veins
of those boys as they listened to the
unpatriotic remarks of Scott they
stood their ground and acting upon
the advice of our President did not
resort to mob violence, but instead.
took charge Of the load of melons
and sold about one-half of them at
auction, giving the proceeds to the
Red Cross. After the sale Scotty,
as he is called, very much dissatis-
fed but a much wiser man, returned
to his horne with the remnant of
his produce.

DAY, SEPTEMBER 13,
MADE OCCASION FOR w. S. S. DRIVE

East Las Vegas, N. NJ, Aug. 22.-
They're busting superstitions and
oodos in France every day and
Nc're going to bust one here in
lew Mexico on Friday, September
3th, the birthday Of General John
j.. pershing," said Hallett Reynolds,
state director of war savings to-
day.
Mr.. Reynolds has announced Per-
shing Day, September 18th, as the
day for another great one-day war
savings drive throughout New Mex
leo and counties and communities
are organizing, in preparation for
a drive which will put war savings
stamp buying in New Mexico up to
the five million mark. With So
corro county over the top with a
total of S2950CO owned and pledged
war savings stamps, the total
owned and pledged in the state is
S2,500,0O0, a little more than one
third of the states all year quota
of S7,000,O00.
SOcorro county is the second New
Mexico county to reach its quota.
Luna county was the first. 1t reach
ed the quota during the last pledge
campaign.
In his statement arnoC1. Ing Per-
shing Day Director Reynolds says:
This is the natal day of our gal
liant commander of the United States
armies overseas and as fitting triD-
ute to the appreciation which our
people feel for his service, the citi-
zens of New Mexico are asked to un>
dertake a second intensive drive for
War Savings pledges.
Hundreds of people in our state
who are financially able to purchase
war savings stamps have as yet made
no purchase or signed no pledge.
Every county chairman, through
his county committee, is respectfully
requested to make a, formal observ-
ance of Pershing Day, and back it up
with a countrywide campaign to Sc
cure additional pledges from those
who have pledged inadequately and
new pledges from those who have
as yet made none.
"The impression has been given
out that the purchase of war savings
stamps is work only for women,
children and small savers. This is in
no sense true. The treasury depart
ment expects every business man
and every adult wage Garner to in
vest in these stamps to the limit of
his means.
"The correction of this erroneous
impression will be one of our big
jobs on Pershing Day and one
which should be done thoroughly"

On last Sunday night, in the course
of my remarks, l said, "To He'll with
the man who would dare talk peace
now,n, and some of my folks thot
that l was "cussing," but wasn't.
The Mad-dog Of He'll has broken
from his Stygian stall and is devour-
ing the helpless. Peace Talk"
won't stop him, but shot and shell
will, and it takes money to buy shot
and shell.
The w. S. S. Committee is busy
helping raise this money. Every
American citizen has been asked to
do his part in raising the money to
buy the lead to kill this German dog
with, and that man is a Stacker and
! Parasite who does not do his part.
| quite agree with the Merchants
Magazine when it says:
Some men and women do not yet
comprehend the meaning of this
war, some are pro-Germans, some
are German spies, some are towards
who disgrace the mothers who gave
them birth, and some are simply
plain everyday fools who should go
out and root and live with the swine
of the field until the appointed time
to be killed for the good of man
kind.
Peace! There can be no peace
between Heaven and He'll, between
God and SatanI
Peace! With the unrepentant, I'M
hung rapists and murderers
Peace! With the vilest criminals
who ever blackened the records of
mans history!
" Every day brings the toll of death
and every day for months ana per-
haps for years we must suffer the
awful agOnies which our Allies have
endured, and there is no power TO
lessen this toll of our innocent low
ed ones, except we kill and kill and
keep on killing the murderers who
like wild beasts are seeking to des-
troy the world"
This our task-tO buy w. S. S.
and Liberty. Bonds to buy powder
and lead with to kill with until the
Kaiser and every Hun of them are
dead and in hell. Then our task
will be finished, but not before.
And today every American shot by
German dogs call to us, For Gods
Sake, Hurry Up, Buy War Savings
Stamps.

hood of Des MOines in this county.
Union County undoubtedly holds
out opportunities for the immigrant
to make a success. Dry farming
lands are still selling at low price,
and the experience of farmers who
have already developed large tracts
of land is evidene that there is
money to be made in Union County
dry farming. II is but a question
of few years until every available
acre of land in Union County is
under cultivation, and the immigrant
who can now see this fact and is
ready to take advantage Of it will in
a few years be able to enjoy the in
dependence that those who came
here a few years ago are now en-
joying.
