It is the service rendered by these organisations that makes for , lae sp.e-u morale of the American armies. General Pershing in a recent letter commenting on the work of these agencies quoted with ap proval the statement of one of his colonels who said "Give me nine men who have a hut to spend their evou ings in and I will have a better fight ing force than ten men would be without it." Dr. John R.. Mott, director gneeral of the United War Work Campaign says, "If it is worth twenty-four billion dollars to keep our boys under arms next year surely It is worth a hundred and seventy million and more to add ten per cent to their fignting edge to bring Tictory ten per cent nearer. This Is the appeal of the seven united war work agencies to America and particularly to those lour million homes where service flags fly. "Viewed as a total sum, $170, 500,000 seems gigantic, but divide it by the four million men who will be under arms in our army and navy during the period it is expected to cover and it means less than fifteeu cents a day per man. "Surely there Is '.no father or mother or friend of a soldier in this great country who will say that fifteen cents a day 1b too much to spend on his church, his home, his library, his theater, and his club over there." The United War Work Campaign Is being made at the- request ' of President Wilson.

It is very gratifying to have this renewed ex pression of confidence and esteem For my opponent in the race and for. all the others .who honestly and honorably opposed me I have great respect and the highest considera tion. For , the bunch of habitual and hardened law violators, moonshiners and boot-leggers, with all their villainous campaign lies and dirty, mud-slinging, I have sympathy, charity, and an assurance of cour teous official treatment at my hands. Their system of conduct and their enmity towards those who are chosen to enforce the law are notoriously wrong, and can never prevail In a civilized country. E. M. SHUTT. In making an estimate of the re turns from the work of the county there are many items that do not permit an estimate of the actual re turns from a financial standpoint. Some lines of work have shown, how ever, a definite financial gain to the farmers of the county and for that reason we have tried to make as conservative an estimate as possible from the facts in our office. If there s any question regarding any such estimates we will be glad to submit detailed figures showing the sourcb r-f gain. Labor. ' 1 A careful canvass of the harvest labor situation and comparison with other counties show the follow ing results: Through the organized .nTorts of the farmers, lod by the county agent, har it.it. Kelp cost the farmers ; f the county an average of $1.00 per man per day less than in other cousties. In the basis of the men in ployed and the number of days of harvest the net profit is . $11,200.00 Hulk Handling. As a result of the cam algn put on to encourage the building of farm storage the farmers were saved the expense of high priced sacks. In . some (ivies coming to ihc atten- iun of the county agent the entire cost of equiping for bulk handling did not equal the annual sack bill. A net saving on handling 22,500 bu. of five cents per bu. equals 1,225.00 Improved Seed. Through the efforts of the county agent 3066 bu. of good seed were shipped ! in and gave an average in crease of 195 bii. per acre of a total of 5959 bu. more than would have been pro duced if ordinary seed had been used. Disregarding the increase in grade ob tained in most cases the net gain is Spring Harrowing. On one form where the county agent advised against spring harrowing an accurate check later proved a saving of 2.59 bu. per acre or a total of : 415 bu. valued at Fertilizers. , Increased yield due to use of fertilizers on two acres of alfalfa A little excitement was caused on the street yesterday noon when L. V. Gentry administered a little physical punishment to a young man who had been working for him the past year. Judge Williams collected the usual donation from Mr. Gentry for the city treasury and the other party carried away a disfigured countenance. his brother, Paul Webb at the ranch on Thorn creek.
