Arrangements have been made to buy the tobacco at cost, so that your quarter

The distribution of the tobacco will be in competent and experienced hands. Ev

contributed. / ■•

How War Methods Have Changed
Everybody Must Help.
•'Hello, Unde Dan, Jimmie and I
have been waiting for you.”
“Sorry If 1 have kept you long," said
Uncle Ihm. “Your mother has been
telling me how bafhful I used to be.
She said If u girl spoke to me I would
blush to my hair roots. Well, I re
minded her of the time your father
first came^to see her and the jok^we
played on them, so I guess that will
; hold her for a while." » '
j Continuing, Uncle Dan said: “You
want to talk more about the war, do
you? Well, war methods have under
gone many changes and they are still
changing. No two wars are fought
alike. In early times, the weapons Were
stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows,
swords, etc. In this kind of warfare,
victory was with the strong right arm.
; Men of enormous size anil strength
were the great warriors. The inven-
j lion of gunpowder, however, has
j changed all this. ,Jt has enabled men
’to kill one another at a comfiderahie
distance, and do It wholesale. The
, war. as we know It n"W, is a comhina-
l tioq of chemicals, imnjiincry, uiuthe-
l inaUcal calculations and highly trained
men. .lust thinlC'of it! Airplanes,
suhmariti v s, anuored tanks, or cater-
jiillaijs. p«»isop gases, and eurtaihs of
j tiro tire all used for tho first time in
^this.war; and they tire destructive be
yond anything her*H»»fore known.
“The methoils followed by tW kal-
s<-r and his allies are simply devilish.
He must answer in history to the kill
ing of thousands of innocent women
and children. Hw has broken every
International law anil every rule of
warfare; he has bombarded hospitals
and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross
ships on errands of mercy; he has de
stroyed cathedrals and priceless treas
ures of art that ran never he replaced;
he has made slaves of his prisoners;
he has tried to get us Into war with
Japan; his cn mlssnrles have blown uct
our ships, brrned our factories and
fired our fori 1 ts. He knows no mercy
or honor. The’ most charitable view
to take of this Mood-thirsty tyrant
Is that he is crazy.
“One thing Is certain." continued Un
cle Dan. with great emphasis, “Our
liberty, the safety of our homes and
our country, and the security of,the
world demand the speedy and abso
lute overthrow of the kaiser and
crushing out mice and forever the
reign of Prussian brutality."
“How about the Gennon people,"
said Billie.
Uncle Dan replied; “The splendid
German people were happy, thrifty,
prosperous and contented. They have
been tricked Into war and made to
suffer the tortures of the damned;
they have been cruelly and systematic
ally deceived. God grant that the real
facts may get to them, and If they do.
Lord help the kaiser!"
“Of course the allies will win." said
Mrs. Graham.
“Probably so.” said Uncle Dan. “But
If we are to win. we must go the limit
We must rh«*ek the awful destruction to
ship|iing by the German .submarines,
or we may not b* 4 able to get food and
supplies to our own men and to our al
lies; we must also put hundreds of
thousands, and perhaps millions, of
first-class soldiers In the battle line.
“Food Is the first consideration." Un
cle Dan continued. “No army can hold
out against hung«*r. It has been said
that food wtlf win the war. a^l this la
largely true. Hence the Importance
of the farm In the war plans of our
country.”
Mrs. Graham Interrupted by saying:
“In view of the importance of farming,
don’t you think. Daniel, that the fann
ers ought to be exempted from war
service?"
“No. a thousand times no," salt! Un
cle D«n. striking the table so hard to
emphasize his protest that he tipped
over a vase of flowers. “We must
have no class legislation. The duty to
serve Is the common duty of all. and
no class must be relieved of this ob
ligation. The question of exemption
must he a personal one and decided by
tile facts surrounding each case. In
no other way can we have n square
deal, and to insure this, it is the duty
of congress to pass immediately the
Chamberlain hill, or some such meas
ure. which is fair to all) classes. It
would settle alt these questions <»r-:
do it fairly. Safety now anti sr.t
hereafter demands such leg'
and let me suggest that yor\ . ,v .ur
friends get busy with your s
man and senators and urge t to
prompt action.
“It Is time for us to realize that we
are not lixiug In u paradise;
that this groat country of ours cost
.M eans of Mood and treasure ana it Is
only due to the loyalty, sacrifice and
service of our forefather* that we have
• H country, ami it i* viir highest duty
to preserve it unimpaired and pass it
on to posterity, no ^natter what the
cost may be. t)ur citizenship anti their*
anoeetors came from all parts of ihe {
world to make this country a home j
and enjoy It/' tn)<s*!r.g« and op;>o-?a-
nitios; hence, in tltp t ri-i- before us.
it is the duty of , v« ryt ‘ic to *tand

one In this crisis i« either pro-Ar.wrl- |
