When every man and woman in the country realizes this and docs everything in his or her power to further the need? of the nation, then we are already or the highroad to victory. We must stand together as one man in thi< matter. o The farmers made an extra effoi last year in raising food supplies, an* this year they must make an extra ordinary effort or the country wil run short.

Whht will conditions sho< m year from now, with large armies i Europe and largo ones mobilized ; home in the training camp? Ea< neighborhood should take cure of i jseU as much us possible. Many arc wondering: what the world war will lead to and what H^ f'n" t ally mean to this country. '?o'/ar as we are concerned we feel impressed that it wlil lead to still higher and better things for the United States. There is an evident purpose behind the past events of history which rt- < cords the discovery of this land as < hew cohntrufe the opening of it to all < the oppressed peoples of the earth < and to which they have constantly hcen coming, a mixture of every nation and tonjrue on the earth. We know not what we are. In fact we are just plain Americans and nothing else. In the course of time while the countries of tSbe old World were practically at peace, tiii:; nation of mixed peoples', has grown and waxed strong. No matter what el So Happens,1 such a people as we are must stand always for Democracy. No other plan of government wox-Ul ever suit the sentiments which have been implanted in our hearts since infancy. With powerful resources and great man power this country must cast the deciding blow in the fight which autocracy is now making for its perpetuation on the eai th. Jt stands to reason that we must win or perish in this light. We will win. Then the results can be easily seen as placing this country ai the head of all the greatest nations of the earth. Development will take place in the United States on a bigger scale than was ever possible before in history. This is the result that we ought to come from the war. o Sometimes you see your neighbor who you like mighty well become invclved in some kind of scandal; and vou are ready to say that if you were in his place you would never stand for it. Friend, you are misguided, for you can never tell what you would do in another's place until you occupy tluit place, no more than you can tell what you would do in case you were suddenly placed in command of the British or French tioops against the Germans. Be can ful what vou say. ??? There is not a German who does not feci that now the United States is in the war, this country will stick in it until the bitter end, and they arc thinking rightly. The scarcity of fruit jars this sea son and the high price of those when they can be obtained at all, makes it necessary for the housewives of the country to study the plan of drying many fruits and vegetables that! were formerly thrown away or al lowed to go to waste whenever there was more raised than was needed at I the time.

THgHOMtTHBU FOURTEEN ELEMENTS NECESSARY TO PEACE Washington, January 8. President Wilson, addrsesing Congress to iluy, delivered a restatement pf w?yr nims in agreement with the . recent tkn-laration by the British premier, David Lloyd George, The President presented a definite program for world peace containing fourteen specific (considerations, saying the following aire necessary cle* ments of world peace: 1. Open covenants of peace without private international understandings. 2. Absolute freedom of st?as: Equality of Trade Conditions. M. Removal of all economic banders and establishment ?of equality of trade conditions, among nations consenting to peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. 4. Guarantees for the reduction of national armaments to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. 5. Impartial ndustment of all colonial claims based upon the principle that the peoples conccrm*l have equal weight with the interest of the government. (>. Evacuation of all Russian territory and opportunity for Russia's political development. 7. Evacuation of Belgium without any attempt to limit her sovereignty. S. All French territory to be freed and restored, and reparation for the taking of Alsace-Lorraine. 9. Readjustment of Italy's frontiers on clearly recognizable lines of nationalities. For Austria-Hungary. 10. Freest opportunity for autonomous development of the peoples of Austria-H ungary. 11. Evacuation of Rumania, Serbia, and Montenegro, with access to the sea for Serbia and international guarantees of economic and political independence and territorial integrity of the Balkan States. 12. Secure sovereignty for Turkey's portion of the Ottoman empire, but with other nationalities under Turkish rule assured liberty of life and opportunity for autonomous development, with the Dardanelles permanently opened to all nations. For Independent Poland. El. Establishment of an independent Polish state, including territories inhabited by indisputably Polish populations with free access to thc sea raid politica.l and economic independence and territorial integrity guaran.. teed by international covenant. 14. General association of nations under specific covenants for mutual guarantees of political independence | and territorial integrity to large and j small states alike. "For such a. rangements and covenants," said the President in conclusion, "we are willing to fight and continue to 'fight until they are achieved; hut only because wo wish the right to prevail and desire a just 1 and stable peace." Would Prevent War. Such a pre gram, he said, removed chief provocations ;c" war. IN LOVINCJ K KM KM BR A N C K. The death angel visited the homf of Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
