Germany rebuild in France and Be

it- No mercy should be shown the
people who gladly made war on civilization.
They spared not, and they
planned not to spare any of the other
QQ peoples of the earth. No indemnity
! and no terms are too heavy which

j may be extracted from them. All
50 j talk about their rebelling sounds like
j the talk of a man who is too con?vsiderate
of people who have not
j earned the consideration of any peo~

n j United States were not too proud to
j fight, th<> peace commissioners
; should not be too afraid to make the

ia" THEY FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT.
[ It is a great pleasure to have with
ine us again the fighting men of the
fa- Thirtieth Division. They are Abbeus

jxt ed; they gladly went into battle to
fight our battles; they braved the
' Hindenburg line and the German
ke war machine, and they made war a
tut hard pastime for the Kaiser.
They return to us full of honors,
Nothing we can say, or even think,
can add to what they have achieved
lat on the field of battle where onlj
>ut brave men can stand and, if need be
nt; die. They were willing to make the
sacrifice. They'have offered theu
all.
Having fought a good fight they reor

, citizens. Let us 'hope that the lines
lot
will fall for them in pleasant places
and that in times of peace they wil]
distinguish themselves as good citizens,
just as they achieved fame or
?* the field of glory. There is nothing
rst which may not be theirs if the same
fortitude and courage shall be witl
them as was with them in Belgium
tor and France.
ike We wish them all the best in the

West at 4 P. M., April 4, 1919, in
the Y. M. C. A. Building, and at
Donalds in the school house, at 3 P.
*e" M., April 5th. The purupose of the
meeting is twofold: (1) to organes'
ize a bull association and (2) to
bring before the people the advantages
of the sweet potato storage
13 house. We must let the "scrub
Ir" sire" go and replace him with a thor!V"
oughbred sire if we expect to hav?
profitable milk cows. The storage
house has passed beyond the experi
vj- mental stage.
if- The meeting will be conducted by
on County Agent Rowell, assisted by
i. Messrs. T. W. Moseley, Extension
Dairy Husbandman. These men will
