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. It has turned out that the

for the supply of the materials
by which men are to live and to
fight, and it will be our glory when
the war is over that we have supplied
those materials and supplied
them abundantly, and it will be all
the more glory because in supplying
them we have made our supreme ef
CAN'T RAISE PRICES.
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*

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."

fort and sacrifice.
"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. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get
