It aounda Impressive when we read, In war dispatches, the long lists of cities, towns and villages re captured from the Germans. But It la Just aa well to keep clearly In mind what those conquests mean. It la not a case of a violated and plun dered nation getting back the pro perty from the burglar ,who stole It. Those once happy placea of human habitation are not won hack. In general, nothing la redeemed but the torn and cumbered land on which they were built. - "The battlefield the Germans have abandoned," writes a correspondent, "presents a picture of devastation and desolation that has not been sur passed during the war. Even ceme teries have been blown up, tomb itonea smashed and grave opened. "The names of towna in this re gion no longer have any other sig nificance than aa a reminiscence and a geographical designation. They have ceased to exist aa towns. Their sites are hardly distinguishable for the Intense shelling has not only ob literated streets and defaced boun dary lines, but has rendered the top ography unrecognizable, ' In many places." That Is what the Huns have made of the parts of fair France they have polluted by their presence. It Is what they have made everywhere they have set their blighting Iron heel. Surely there would be no Jus tice In any termination of thla war that failed to bring borne such devas tation to the. German people them selves. This war must be carried across the Rhine. PATRIOTISM AND TEACHING The nation-wide shortage of teach ers la no new problem. In the past year or two fewer college graduates have taken up teaching as a profes sion. . Men and women already en gaged In that calling have been leav ing it in great numbers, the iron to serve the colors or take up war work, the women to enter new field offer ing better salaries and more ir tunltles for .Initiative and self-expression. Teaching had become sadly bound by. red tape and bookkkeeplng. School affairs were too often subor dinate to local politics and faddish theories that kept the teacher's work' unsettled and offered ' little chance' for the teacher of r-?al abil ity to make the most of the profes sion. : Salaries were notoriously low. Now the appeal la being made to 'o You JV8T COKFKN OH n KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY a)OAUTT FIRST . ' '.: J . teacher to atlck by the schools for patriotic reason. It 1 Indeed true that tbera la hardly any civilian oc cupation mora vital to the nation' good than that of teaching. Tha clt- lien of the next generation ara la tha public schools now. Many teacher will aland by their Joba tor patrlotlo reason. Some few mora will tay becaua they are real teachers and love tha work bet ter than anything they could do else where. Many able and excellent teacher will be loat, however, be cause of the short-sighted pollole of school board and the Indifference of the public parents who would be deeply Interested In achool problems If they were wise. i It It Is patriotic for the teachers to continue their work regardless of conditions, It la alao patrlotlo for the rest of tha community to restore to teaching the dignity, respect and In fluence that belong rightly to the profession, and especially to pay the country teacher living wagea. A dispatch states that some Ger man troops In Russia hoisted the red flag and sang the Marseillaise. What more fitting torture could be . In flicted on the kaiser than to have him ahorn of his famous moustache and compelled to listen to his armies sing that spirited French air and the time may come. and apent a pleasant day In honor of Grandma Griffin's birthday', who I now T8 year old.

RECORD AGES 'FOR HORSES Many Have Lived Far Beyond What la Generally Considered Their Allotted Spin. Ruben, a farmer of a small town la New Hampshire, tells of a new kind of conservation. In his neighborhood ure four horses In active service, though all over twenty year of age. He has one himself "hard upon" twen-ty-four years. A farmer near by has another which Is close to thirty. Two others in the vicinity are around the quarter-century mark,' As he says, It la only In a rural community, where they cherish the horse almost like a member of the family, where one could expect to find such a record. Even there this demonstration of longevity Is Htrlklng. Nevertheless, the oldest horse that the Nomad ever suw was In the serv ice of the New York city surface railway system, Thla horse was, at the time when the Nonmd was ac quainted wllh him, actually forty-two years old, and he lived two years longer, tie had been a street-car horse on New York pavements, und then was nwd ns a "hill horse," or extra puller, on slopes, and then, when he become about thirty years old, was retired on a pension, apendlng most of bis time in dignified eimo in a box stnll; and be lived on In fills way, ap parently without n pain or an ache, until he was forty-four. All this can be proved and authenticated from the documents. , ' . The Nomad's own old saddle horse, Brownie, lived to be thirty-odd no one knew exactly how many more yean there were than thirty ut thirty war authenticated, and ta waa grown horn when tha count began,) Brownla looked round and atnooth even after thirty, but hit legs were llkt 1 sticks, and hia Interest In life, beyoud . grass, waa alight.

Many people (till feel that candy has no food value, that It ta a non-essential luxury which uxea up maybe a quarter to a half of the augar In this country, and that by wiping out candy th augar prob. lem la aolved.

Put It In a little pllo. That' the amount of augar used per capita weekly In candy making. The aavlng of that tiny mite In the home will keep the randy Industry alive and enable It to supply men and women and children at home and th men at the front with nourishing, wholesome body fuel. Put a pound of chocolnte rreania to the test, for Instance. Knt a pound on a big. long bike. Then you will know why soldier crave It.
