SAVE THE PIECES
" CRY OF GERMANY
Continued from Page One)

American. The answer caused great
amazement among the Germans.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that few Germans believe
they were defeated militarily. In
variably you are corrected, IL you
make break by mentioning 1.-The
defeat Of the German armies" and
you are put right in the following
light: Germany quit because she
accepted the Fourteen Points Of
President Wilson and because she
was hungry, and because there was a
or rather the pacifists got power and
threw out the militarists. But the
armies were not defeated, say Ger
mans.
Germans argue, therefore, that
they should make peace on a basis
of equality, and say their present de-
fenseless position is due to the IDEAL
ism with which they disband their
armies, feeling the Entente would do
the same. When you first hear this
line Of reasoning, you are inclined to
think it is bluff. But the constant
repetition by intelligent men and
women finally convinces you that
the German people believe they were
undefeated in the field, and they
think they are in their present pre-
dicament because the Entente was
not faithful to the armistice terms.
The public statement of Erzberger
that the first armistice was signed
on the frantic orders Of Hindenburg,
whose army had collapsed, or the
public utterances Of men who have
dared to say Germany was defeated,
has not changed public opinion. This
prevailing idea makes clearer the
demands of Germany.
To the credit of the foreign office,
it should be said, that department is
in a trying and thankless position,
and its platform is necessary to salts
fly German public demands. The
foreign office is convinced that open
and direct dealings with the world
is necessary, after the defeat of the
laundering old regime, diplomacy,
and at present the foreign office
needs to be honest with the German
people rather than with ~ foreign
powers, to complete it's self-cleans-
ing.

TRAINMEN TAKE H. POUND
FISH WITH BOILER RAKE

Crookston, Mimi, April PA
fish story which is different is being
told today by two local Great North
ern trainmen, who returned, to the
city from their run from Fargo with
a 17-pound muskellunge.
Engineer Thomas McCrea and
Conductor Ed Micks are the two fish
ermen. According to their story as
they were passing Burnam creek
they saw what they believed to be a
human body foundering in the
water. Stopping their train, the con-
ductor and engineer found huge
muskellunge, which had swan up
the creek and had become stranded
in the shallow water They killed
the fish with a rake. -, 40

A DAIRY RECORD

Dollie's Valentine, t050i9, was a
registered Jersey COW that was pur-
chased by the Kentucky Experiment
Station in 1896. She looked to the
authorities there like a real pro-
Queer and a useful sort of cow. She
was MIXED carefully and fed well,
and produced in one year 1928
pounds of milk and 676 pounds of
butter. She was prolific COW that
had a calf every year, giving birth
TO thirteen calves before she died IN
1910. Like a great many motherly
cows she passed the regular breed
ing habit on to her offsprings. One
daughter had ten calves, another
daughter eleven and third daugh-
ter had an even dozen calves. AS a
consequence of this prolific nature
her descendants today dominate in
the Station herd Daughters, grand
daughters, and great granddaughters
If the old COW are in the herd. Best
of all she handed on the ability to
produce great quantities of milk and
butter, because her. daughters and
granddaughters are all making reg
lister of merit records that vary
from seven TO eight thousand pounds
Of milk and from four to six hundred
pounds of butter in a year.
DOllie is a fine example of a good
cow that founded a very useful
family. II pays to start with good
foundation stock in any breed and
then TO keep the best, and only the
best, offsprings from that founda-
ton stock. The herd at the station
has rapidly increased in production
as the best Offsprings of Dollie are
mated with fine bulls year after
year. This is an excellent illustra-
ton Of constructive breeding, a sub
iect that will be fully discussed at
Farmers Week at the University OF
Kentucky, January % to 81, and
this useful family of cows will be
exhibited and the methods of breed
ing, feeding and caring for them
will be fully explained.

RHODE ISLAND RED

County Agent Spence, Berea, Ky,
would like TO have a letter from
each of the Rhode Island Red breed
ers Of Madison and Rockcastle
counties. In this letter he would
like for each breeder to state the
number Of Reds and whether or no.
they will have eggs for sale.
There is going TO be a great de-
mand for pure bred Rhode Island
Red eggs this year. Where eggs are
purchased for Matching purposes the
flock should be graded. County
Agent Spence Will have a specialist
10 come and grade the hocks if he
is notified Of each flock where eggs
are TO be sold or even kept at home
for Matching purposes.
We hope that each Rhode Island
Red breeder will write TO County
Agent Spence at once so he can in
form the public just how many eggs
we can expect 10 have for sale.
County Agent Spence's idea is 10
get all Red" breeders TO meet in
Berea soon for the purpose Of dis
cussing the plan Of marketing the
Red" eggs, and getting the closer
cooperation of the breeders. Call'
are coming TO County Agents Ollie,

LET US KEEP ON SERVING

Don't let us make the mistake OF
disorganizing the county war
boards. 1t is unfortunate that the
district draft boards have been dis
banded, although they certainly
have earned rest. However. State
Councils of Defense are crumblinS
and the county war committees
must rally to the call Of the nation
as never before.
America has certainly a large and
disagreeable task to perform. Now
that the excitement of war has died
away We must realize that America
must Justify itself in all its demo-
cratic claims. We must Just as
cheerfully do the drudgery and pay
the bills without stress of urging as
we would were the Huns clamorlnG
at our gates.
II is so natural and easy to duck
our responsibilities. The only way
we can redeem our promise to pay
is TO organize each community the
same as for war. and make it I'M
possible through the force of public
opinion for any man to escape doing
his full share.
II seems scarcely necessary for us
to express our gratitude to our
heroes who have given their lives
and to those who are coming back
mutilated and sick. They have made
the supreme sacrifice; have given
up their business, their pleasures.
their homes, and their very lives for
us.
There are many bills which we
must pay which cannot be done by
taxation. The government has spent
all of the money raised in its four
liberty loans and still we are spend
ing billions.
