PREDICTS END THIS YEAR PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES A CHEERING STATEMENT. Wilson's Message to Farmers of Nation States Struggle for World Freedom Will Cease Sooa. Washington, Jan. 31.?In a message to the nation's farmers delivered today to an agricultural conference at Urbana, 111., president Wilson said he thought statesmen on both sides of the water realized that the culminating crisis of the war had come and this year's achievements would decide it. The message, which the president intended to present personally until attacked by a cold several days ago, was delivered by President James of the University of Illinois. Recounting the aggressions of Germany, the president said: "We are fighting, therefore, as truly for the liberty and self government of the United States as if the war of our own revolution had to be fought over again; and every man in every business in the United States must know by this time that his . whole future lies in the balance. "Our national life and our whole (lovpinnment will pass under 1UIU1V V4V W.^r the sinister influences of foreign control if we do not win. We must win, therefore, and we shall win. \ "I need not ask' you to pledge ^ your lives and fortunes with those of the rest of the nation to the accomplishment of this great end." The president recalled that farmers _ fired the first shots at Lexington that set aflame the American revolution j for liberty and expressed the hope and belief that American farmers now will willingly and conspicuously stand by the government to win: this war. He said the farmers did not want themselves exempted from j military service as a class but that | the attention of the war department was centered upon the task of interfering with farm labor as little as i possible and he believed that in the 'next draft the farmers would find i their labor less seriously drawn upon tjf' than in the first. j Must be .Sacrifice. i / The president's message said in part: "I need not tell you, for I am sure \ you realize as keenly as I do, that we are as a nation in the presence of a great task which demands supreme sacrifice and endeavor of every one of us. We can give every thing that is needed with the greater willingness, and even satisfaction, because the object of the war in which we are engaged is the greatest that free men have ever undertaken. It is to prevent the life of the world from being determined with fortunes of men everywhere directed by small / groups of military men who seek their own interest by the selfish dominion * * * yet will not need to be convinced that it was necessary for us as a free people to take part in this war * * * The rulers of Germany had sought to exercise their power in such a way as to shut off our economic life so far as our intercourse with Europe was concerned, and to confine our people within the western^hemisphere while they accomplished purposes which would have permanently impaired and impeded every process of our national life and have put the fortunes of America at the mercy of the imperial government of Germany. This was no threat. It had become a reality. Their hand of violence i ' had. been laid on our own people and our own property in flagrant violation not only of justice but of well j recognized and long standing coye* nants of international law and treaty. We are fighting, therefore, as truly for the liberty and self government of the United States as if the war of rorr\1?Hnn had to hp foilfirht UU1 w ?* 11 i V Viuv?vu "VTV- W -V. over again; and every man in every business in the United States must know by this time that his whole future fortune lies ia the balance. Our national life and our whole economic development will % pass under the sinister influences of foreign control if we do not win. We s must win, therefore, and we shall win. I need not ask you to pledge your lives and fortunes with those of the rest of the nation to the accomplishment of that great end. "You will realize, as I think statesv, men on both sides of the water realize, that the culminating crisis of the achievements of this year on the one side or the other must determine the issue.

Says Supply of Substitutes is Ample to Meet Needs of Nation. Washington, Feb. 1.?Unwarranted price increases in wheat flour substitutes will not be permitted. The food administration tonight gave warning to dealers they must not take advantage of temporary shortages in other cereals brought on by the heavy demand the new baking regulations has caused. Many complaints reached Food Administrator Hoover today that deal* ' " 1 rt 1 ^ T7 horo ers in tne suosututea aucou,. begun to lift their prices. "Mills of the country," said Mr. Hoover, "are prepared to meet the greater demand of housewives and bakers for other cereals during the next few months. "At least one of the substitutes can be procured in quantity in almost every part of the country. If any shortages occur they will be local. The supply of substitutes is ample to meet our needs. "The normal tendency of local shortages would advance prices out of line with the cost of production and distribution. Under the food control act this will not happen. All licenses dealing in food commodities who do not give their customers the benefit of fair and moderate prices, selling at no more than a reasonable profit above cost, will have their lisenses revoked. "Unlicensed food retailers who sell at more than a reasonable profit will have their supplies cut off by the food administration."

"In the field of agriculture we have agencies and instrumentalities, fortunately, such as no other government in the world can show. The department of agriculture is undoubtedly the greatest practical and scientific agricultural organization in the world. * * * The banking legislation of the last two or three years has given the farmers access to the great lendable capital of the country. * * * Both by direct purchase of nitrates and by the establishment of plants to produce nitrates the government is doing its utmost to assist in the problem of fertilization. The department of agriculture and other agencies are actively assisting the farmers to locate, safeguard and secure at cost an edequate supply of sound seed. The department has $2,500^000 available for this purpose | now and has asked the congress for $6,000,000 more. Problem of Labor. The labor problem is one of great difficulty and some of tne oest agencies of the nation are addressing themselves to the task of solving it, so far as it is possible to solve it. * * "Let me say that the stimulation of the agencies I have enumerated has been responded to by the farmers ? in splendid fashion. * * * Last spring their planting exceeded by 12,000,000 acres the largest planting of any previous year, and the yields from the crops were record breaking yields. In the fall of -1917 a wheat acreage of 42,170,000 was planted, which was 1,000,000 larger than for any preceding year, 3,000,000 greater j than the next largest, and 7,000,000 greater than the preceding five ye^r average. "But I ought to say to you that it is not only necessary that these achievements should be repeated, but that they should be exceeded. * * * "I will not appeal to you to continue and renew and increase your efforts. I do not believe that it is necessary to do so. I believe that you will do it without any word or appeal from me, because you understand as well as I do the needs and opportunities of this great hour when the fortunes of mankind everywhere seem about to be determined and when America has the greatest opportunity she has ever had to make good her own freedom and in making if ornnd lend a hplninp' hand tn men struggling for their freedom everywhere. > You remember that it was farmers from whom came the first shots at Lexington, that set aflame the revolution that made America free. I hope and believe that the farmers of America will willingly and conspicuously stand by to win this war also. The#toil, the intellingence, the energy, the fore sight, the self sacrifice and devotion of the farmers of America will, I believe,-bring to a triumphant conculsion this great last war for the emancipation of men from the control of arbitrary government and the selfishness of class legislation and control, and then when the end has come, we may look each other in the face and be glad that we are Americans and have had the privilege to play such a part." 5Q,000_yOICES | And Many Are the Voices of Bamberg People. Fifty thousand voic-es ? What a | grand chorus! And that's the number of American men and women, who are publicly praising Doan's Kidney Pills for relief from backache, kidney i and bladder ills. They say it to friends. They tell it in the home pa pers. Bamberg people are in the chorus. Here's a Bamberg case: Thos. H. White, Main St., says: "I suffered from weak kidneys for several years and my back sometimes pained me. I had a too frequent desire to pass the kidney secretions tnd had to get up often during the night. Since I used Doan's Kidney Pills, I have been all right. I seldom have to get up at night and my kidneys are strong." MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS LATER Mr. White said: "I still hold a high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills. I haven't needed a kidney medicine for a long tme but if I ever have to take one again. I shall use Doan's, for I know they have no equal." Price 60c, at all dealers.
