A WARNING
Washington, D. C., Feb. 13, 1918.
?"If the South neglects this year to 1
provide her own food and feed, she ,
is likely to suffer serious privation, ,
and she will put a burden upon the ]
Nation which may prolong the war '
and even imperil our victory," say )
Clarence Ousley, Assistant Secretary ]
of Agriculture. ? ,
"I am aware that then* ?? < ?
- ?w WVI.5 i
words,'' continues Secretary Ousley, <
"but they are none too strong. I am <
not expressing an alarmist personal j
opinion. I am seeing through the
eyes of 48 agricultural colleges and }
of county agents in nearly every agri- t
cultural county. I have recently t
crossed the continent from the At- c
lantic to the Pacific^ I have studied )
the reports gathered by the depart- t
meat's 18,000 representatives and as ;
many more employees of the agri- i
cultural colleges. I have considered t
ihe conclusions of the International ^
Institute of Agriculture at Rome
which has reports from all the world. 3
"The plain, hard truth is that with (1
i0 million people withdrawn from ^
productive industries and engaged in v
the business of destruction, it is not j,
humanly possible for production 011 t
the whole to exceed normal demand. c
I'hc question is whether production f
ran equal necessitous demanl.
"England, France, ami Italy must e
)e sustained or their populations can- e
not stand the strain. They have been t
>n scant/ rations for more (hurt three ^
/ears. The chief cause of Russia's c
collapse was hunger. Soldiers can- ]j
lot fight when their wives and children
are starving. a
"Secretary McAdoo has given \
varning that transportation may be c
acking in 1918, to haul food and a
"eed to States and communities that ft
lo not provide for themselves. Many p
rattle have been sacrificed in the
Irouth regions of the Northwest and
he Southwest during the last few
nonms, because railroad cars could
lot be obtained as needed. Military a
novements must have first considers- 18
ion, and military movements will be
greater in 1918 than in 1917. The h
irime question for the farmers is not
vhat product will bring the highest
irice, but what products will insure ^
ood for his family and feed for his
ive stock, and the answer is: a ^
vegetable garden, a milk cow, a brood
ow, a poultry flock, ample corn, oats, v
teunuts, etc., and then as much cot- *'
on or tobacco as he can cultivate
veil.
"It is the highest demand of pariotism
?it is the first requirement
if living?that in 1918 every State, "
svery county, every neightborhood,
ivery farmer, be as nearly self-sus- a
aining as possible. ('
"For the South to plunge on coton
or tobacco or any other speculate
crop and to depend upon the
orn belt for bread and meat will be d
'or the South to engage in a gamble
vhich may cause privation to its pco- tl
>le and disaster to the Nation. For ' \
iny man now to determine his busi- j
coo ufjcionuna irom me standpoint d
?f profit alone, without regard to j
he Nation's needs, is for him wil- H
ully to profiteer in the blood of his c<
ellows who are fighting in France
or the preservation of the republic. S
^lo man can be excused for not tak- J
ng his share of the responsibility. V
"My whole life has been spent in
he South. I know the Southern far- h
ner. He will do his duty as he sees
t. I am appealing to every man in <1
he South to make known these facts
?to consider it his business to mage t>
hem known?and I shall have no
loubt of the results. If they are not
mide known in a way to impress the
risis that confronts us, there may
>e hunger in this bounteous land or
mnger over yonder in Europe, where :>
t will spell ruin for all that is worth I'
vhile in America."

1IXED FLOUR TO BE SOLD
WITHOUT SUBSTITUTES
Mixed Pours containing less than
> per cent. of wheat flour may be
without s':'>stit'it"s according to
stufenient by the United States
ood Administration today.
Special rules governing the sales
f other mixed flours containing more
hun .">0 per cent of wheat flour to
ny person, unless the amount of
/heat flour substitutes sold is suflfiient
to make the total amount to
-* -e e
nc: kvuil (lllM'Ulll Ul nui'll MIDHlllUU'JS,
deluding those in mixed flour, equal
d the total amount of wheat flour in
he mixed flour. For instance, if
ny mixed flour is purchased conaining
60 per cent, wheat flour and
0 per cent substitutes, it is necesary
that an additional 20 per cent,
f substitutes be purchased. This
rings it to the basis of one pound
f substitute for each pound of wheat
our.
The other exceptions to this basis
f purchase, in addition to that of
nixed flours containing less than 50
ier cent, of wheat flour, are those
oncerning graham flour and whole;
vheat flour, which flours may be
old at a ratio of three pounds to five
tounds of wheat flour; and a special
exception, which may be granted
ipon application showing the necesity,
in the case of specially pre>arcd
infants' and invalids' food conaining
flour.
Dr. L. H. Trotti, county food adninistrator
announces that Miller's
:ornmeal tickets have been received,
hough an insufficient quantity. More
ire expected shortly. These are to
?e given out by the miller when a
:ustomer has cornmeal ground, or
mys some. With this ticket in hand
.he man is entitled to buy its equivaent
of wheat flour.
EXPECT ATTACK
AT ANY MOMENT
! British Army Headquarters in
' France, Feb. 19.?The great German
offensive on the western front may
be expected to begin at any moment
now, and as far as the British Vront ;
is concerned the main thrust will be .
made on the sector between Arras :
and St. Quentin.
"Tanks and a new mysterious gas"
will be employed by the enemy in I
the attempt to break through the allied
line. Other attacks will be delivered
further south. These facts
have become known through captured
German prisoners and from information
gleaned in other ways.
The plans of the German higher
command are complete and after
many week of intensive training of
assaulting troops they are ready to
niase me supreme and final effort 1
which has been advertised so widely I
in the past weeks. *
Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gen.
von Ludendorff appear to have
realized that the old methods of attack
in which a long bombardment is
employed are too well known to pro- ..
duce the results desired. According- o
ly the German troops are being told
that surprise attacks, such as were o
used in Galicia last summer, at Riga y
and again on the Isonzo, are to be e
tried against the allies on the western 0
front. c
Much stress has been laid on the /
tanks and new gas to be b
used, leaving the infantry little to fi
do but walk through the gaps and s
consolidate the positions captured, t
German troops have been trained to p
make long approach marches and
then to storm enemy positions after s
a short gas shell bombardment. Those a
obstacles which the German artillery v
has not obliterated will be crushed by r
the troops or ignored. The Giyman
infantry will rely on weight of num- '[
bers, masses of machine guns and mo- n
bile batteries to finish the work be- d
gun by the tanks and gas.
Word has been passed out by the p
German high command that few of 0
the allied troons will survive ?h?> ef. _
fects of the tanks, the gas and the 0
bombardment and that German in- jr
fantry will overcome speedily any re- 0
sistance offered in captured positions.
Despite these assurances and the S)
intensive training to which they have p
been put, the German troops are ti
frankly skeptical and are undertak- ti
ing their task with no enthusiasm, ac- p
cording to prisoners. They feel they j
are going to be thrown into battle 0
to be used as cannon fodder and do t|
not relish the prospect.
It is said Gen. von LudendorfT recently
addressed a body of infantry
at Laon and asked how many men
were willing to fight to a finish. Only t,
five non-commissioned officers and r
privates stepped forward. The oth- w
ers declare their desire for an early r.
peace by "arrangement." e,
German officers, on the other hand, a
appear to have the conviction they p
will be able to break through by ((
means of their secret attacks. ?
Gen. von Hutier, who is reputed to ^
have laid the plans for the capture rr
of Riga, has come to the Western
front to assist in the preparation. The j,
lessons of the capture of Riga have p
been preached religiously to the Ger- ,,
man troops. It has been pointed ouf f,
that there a preliminary bombardment
of four or five hours to cut the
wire and demolish defenses was sufi't
cient to give the Germans a firm footing
in the Russian positions. The enemy
troops have not been told, however,
that the morale of the Russians
at Riga was very low and that the
German attack was a complete sui- {
prise. t
The Germans will find the allied (
morale at the highest pitch on the
western front and their attack will
be far from the surprise debited. The |
allies are ready for a big blew and
await with assurance the next move c
of the German high command. ,
The German attack cannot be dclayed
much longer. All information
points to the fact that both German
civilians nnd soldiers are keyed up to (
a hitfh pitch of nervous expectancy
that the strain cannot endure for j
long. They are waiting for the at- (
tack with feverish hope that the high ^
command can this time make good its
promise. The German troops are ex- j
pected to fight well.
The coming battles will perhaps be ;
the most sanguinary of the war and
they will be the most intense yet t
seen. But they will mark the beginning
of the end, for if the Germans |
do not break clear through the a'lied
line?and they cannot?they virtually
will be finished. The emper- t
or is putting every ounce of strength
into this great gamk'e and if it fails
in the early stageslk., means the end
of Prussian militarism.
The allied forces have superiority (
in numbers, both in men and guns
and no doubt is felt in this front as <
to the outcome.

A FAIRY TALE WITH A MORAI
The following "fairy talc," whi<
? pertinent, to our case a'co, is cred;
d to the Horton (Ken.) Headlight
Once a farmer had 1,800 bushc
f wheat, which he sold, not to 01
rain merchant, but to 1,800 diffe
nt dealers, a bushel to each. A ft
f them paid cnsh, but the far greu
r number said they would pay latt
i few months passed and the mar
ank account ran low. "How is this'
e said. "My 1,800 bushels of gra
hould have kept rue in affluence u
il another crop is raised; but I ha"
arted with the grain and instead
ave a vast number of accounts
mall and scattered that I cannot g
round and collect fast enough to pi
xpenses." So he posted up a publ
lotice and asked all those who ow<
ini to pay quickly. Hut few cam
"he rest said, "Mine is only a sou
latter and I will pay some othi
ay," forgetting that, though ca<
ccount was very small, when 11
ut together it meant a large sum I
ne man. Things went on thus. T1
inn got to feeling so bad he fell ov
f bed and awoke. Running to h
ranary, he found his 1,800 bushe
f wheat still there.
MORAL: The next day he wei

L INVASION OF RUSSIA 1
BY TEUTONIC TROOPS
ch
t- The Russian Bolsheviki government
has capitulated and announced its
MS
u readiness, although protestingly, to ,
r- s't:n peace terms imposed by Ger w
many. ;
Nowithstanding this fact, Teutonic
T,' troops are advancing eastward into
Russia over a front of 400 miles,
jn from Riga in the north to Lutsk, a
n- scant 50 miles from the east Galican
border, on the south. Apparently,
' thus far the operation has met with
w no opposition. The northern reaches
of the Dvina River have been crossed a
l?y the enemy; the important rail"
road town of Dvinsk whence roads JS
' run northestward in Petrograd and JH
eastward to Smolensk, has been cap1
Hired, and Lutsk, one of the famous
