The events of the past few weeks

have show* how sad a plight w*
would have been in here. If/we had
to buy everything we needed for
food. There ban been no suffering
in thin section because of aeareity
of the essentials of Ufe. The sugar
famine and the salt scarcity have
given uk an idea of the sad plight
of other pections of the country. The
flour scarcity will soon bring to us
the* realization of what real food
shortage is, unless we comply with
thF*demands of tbe government ani
save flour.'
But situated as all are in Colle

grow plenty of food plants. Tie
season for planting is here. Let u*
be wise. K ,
THE « ItlSfS OK THE WAM
In his address to the farmers, of
the nation, appealing for a supreme
effort, at production of food sup
plies, the President indicates his per
suasion. that the end of the war is
practically in sight, , confirmin';
thereby, with the authority of knowl
edge, the judgment of most thought
ful people who are reading the signs
of the times, says the Charleston
Evening Post. The President’s
words are unusually significant. He
said: - * ■'*
“You will realize, as I think states
men on both sides of the water real
ize, that the culminating ’crisis of
the struggle has come and that the
achievements of this year on the
one side or the other must deter
mine the issue.”
That is the nearest to a categori
cal prediction that the war will end
during the present year that has
been made by the chief of any of the
warring nations, and U may be tak
en, perhaps, as something more than
prophecy. Instead of the prospect
of peac4 within the next eleven
months moving us to halt our ener
gies in preparation for the struggle
however, the President emphasizes
the obligation upon us to exert our
selves all the more to improve the
opportunity to bring to a finish *.
world catastrophe. He said; \
“It has turned out that the forces
that fight for freedom depend upo i
us in an extraordinary and une\\
pelted degree for substenance, for
the supply of materials by which
men are to live and; to fight, and it
will be our glory when the war ta
