PRIVATE PEAT WILL
LECTURE OCTOBER IST

Private Peat, who will lecture Oc-
toGer /, at the college auditorium,
under the auspices of the NJ. e,
church, is said to have a powerful
message which he delivers with ire
mendous force.
Following is an extract from the
closing paragraphs of a newspaper
article which he recently wrote:
Remember that the Canadian
troops who went in the first contin-
gent to France and the vast major
ity of the imperial troops who held
the line in the first dread days of
August. September, October, Novem-
Der, December OF 1914, were a mere
mob. We were without proper equip
ment, we had practically no ammu-
nition we were outnumbered some
times 10 to l. We were trying to get
ready with one hand while we held
the enemy back with the other. We
had to combat foe which sprang
upon us new treacheries and new
horrors every hour of the day
Remember that, and remember
that we held out-that there came to
us under those conditions the honor
of saving civilization, What more
then must be expected from boys who
are going out trained and equipped
to the last word of warfare? The
American boys are going out pre-
pared, They can not be killed and
murdered by wholesale as we of the
earlier troops. We are now equal to
the foe. When the States came into
the line we must of necessity become
superior to the foe. Remember
this, and have comfort you parents
and friends.
The boys of the States, with the
boys Of the older allies, are going
forward to victory--a winning of
peace-the peace which shall be the
greatest peace of all, the peace for
which we have fought, whether we
carry on that fight in "a front line
trench or whether we carry it on in
the quiet monotony of the home
"At home, abroad, on sea or on
land, remember, folks, you are
mericans-thats ALL"

PEACH SEEDS FOR ADMISSION

Each boy who attends the annual
reception given by the senior class
of the high school to the other classes
Friday evening must help win the
war by bringing six peach seeds. ac-
cording to an edict issued by the
fourth-year students. The peach
pitts are needed by the government
in great quantities to manufacture
carbon for use in gas masks and a
campaign for the pitts of peaches as
we'll as other fruits has been launched
at the high school, resulting in the
accumulation of vast quantities of
the seeds. The students of the lower
grades, also, are doing their full bit
in gathering the seeds. The plan of
demanding an admission fee for
school activities in peach seeds is a
novel one and will serve an excellent
purpose One hundred pitts provide
enough carbon for one gas mask.

HUN AGENTS
BURN CROPS

The general public is too little aware
of the bitter battles the crop grower
has had to fight to bring his wheat to
harvest.
Burned barns, standing crops, har-
yesters and threshing machines were
only a part Of the widespread ruin
planned by these fellows of Boy Ed,
Won Papen and Won Bernstorff, and in
too many instances their plots were
successful That more were not was
due only to untiring vigilance which
can never be relaxed while the war
lasts.
New goals, not easy of attainment,
are placed before the farmer through
the plan for raising an army OF ave
million Americans to crush Germany
next year.
He Will be further handicapped by
the loss of hands to the army and he
must raise greater crops. Plans of
the Department Of Agriculture call for
the increase of wheat acreage in the
West by as much as so per cent.
