without the loss of the thousands of
young men recently called, the farms
have been short-handed for several
years.
In this connection we would call at-
tention to some facts that should in
terest us. It has been noted for some
time that many farmers, after years
of effective work on their farms, have
left .them and moved to the towns,
leaving their lands in the care of ten
ants. This has been bad for the
farms in many ways, particularly in
that it. deprived tlie lands of the care
of men of exper.cnce and superior
judgment, both so vitally necessary at
twin time.
These men are still in the towns,
hundreds of them, thousands of them.

tor of 'the town force, their presence is

Oil the farms. Every farm in the land
is crying out for tho guiding hand
and brain of its owner—the one per-
son who should have the deepest inter-
est in its success.
Ill this crisis of the nation's life,
every owner of a farm who has left it
—wherever poss:ble without too great
sacrifice—should retura io the soil and
give to it his best labor and thought.
It is not merely the matter of his
daily labors, though these would count
largely in results. There is the more
Important , fact of his experience and
bioader knowledge of farm problems.
His hand kt the helm would be an in-
spiration to the entire farm force and
would count powerfully in the final
results.
There could be no finer exhibition of
patriotism than for the ex-farmers c?

through the period of the war. when
they could be of such untold aid to
their country.

The American at home can assert bis
patriotism by exerting every energy
in supporting those who must boar the

in battle.

oil, gas und gasoline explosions, and
each of these causes are preventable,
i while a loss of $77,502.00 was caused
by defective electric wires and appli

the preventable class.
If each city and town in our state
would observe March 18th, or some
other day in the latter part of March
as ('lean up Day, much can t>c done at
eliminating fires which occur from
this condition and at the same time
make the city, town and home more
beautiful and remove a menace to the
health of the public.
The city and town authorities, muni-
cipal leagues, women's clubs and other
civic societies of the cities and towns
of this State should get behind a
movement of this kind nnd assist in
innking their towns better to live in,
more beautiful, and safe for life and
property. The school children are ,ul-
ays willing and ever eager to assist
in work ot this kind. The boy scouts
will lend a willing hand in this work,
it some one will take the lead and di-
rect them in the work. "Ulean-up”
should be our watchword.
HOW TO TELL ROOSTERS
FROM PULLETS. |
The Following story was told by Dr.
Brooks at the recent couferenee of the'
County Food Administrators, fifty-two
being present.
"You ask how we may tell roosters |
from pulletsT” queried the State Food
Administrator. "Well, about the best
method is the one advanced by an old
lady whom I knew in mv boy hood.
Sh • said, ‘Mix some meal und water,
anil when the chickens are a few days
old. drop a little in front of them. If
he eats it. it's a rooster; if she eats
it, it's a pullet. ’ "

cemented into one compact band to

the whole.
Tho hour has struck when this call
is ringing dear and loud above all

Conservative, citizens everywhere will
deplore the attempt on the part of
s me of our misguided statesmen to
reopen the party fights that have been
our custom in years past. Nothing at
this time could be worse for the coun-
try than a bitter political fight
throughout the land. Every interest of
the country demands unity of senti
ment and action. Republican poli
tieians could not hope for advantage
except at the expense of great harm
to their country, and such action on
the part of Democrats could be noth-
ing but suicidal.
Doubtless there have been mistakes
made and blunders committed—what
administration has been free from
them? Rut these mistakes have not
been such as to call for a political up-
heaval. Ware not ready to admit to
