Hindenburg and his "shadow", Quartermaster General Ludendorff, still pin their faith on the German U-boats to win the war. In terviews with the two, received here to day, quoted Hindenburg as deriding Am erica's war efforts and insisting the submarines "would prevent a big Am erican army arriving in Europe, even if the fear of Japan did not." Ludendorff declared '.'the submarines have accomplished their purpose, which was to incline England toward peace." GERMAN TJNPOPTJIiAB Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 4- Study of KJerman in the high schools of Califor nia is rapidly falling, off.

MUST AID FARMERS TO IRE CROPS Head of Non-Partisan League Asserts Crop Failure Ruined Many Members St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 4. In order to relieve desperate conditions among far mers brought about by crop conditions this fall, A. C. Townley, president of the National Non-Partisan League, has laid before President Wilson at Washington a plan for short time loans by the gov ernment. This became known today, fol lowing Townley 'a return from Wash ington. Townley went to Washington as the head of an organization of over 150, 000 farmers in almost 20 states jn the union. The administration, not affected by the "enemy press", never doubted the loyalty of northwestern farmers, Town- ley said. In North Dakota, seat of the non-partisan movement, farmers borrow ed money heavily, in order to increase in order to produce food to win the war, got an average of only seven bush els of wheat to the acre this year, lost money on the crop and yet borrowed more money to oversubscribe the last liberty loan 73 per cent. The administra tion thoroughly understands "that these acts speak louder than words of the food gamblers," Townley stated. "Some sore of a federal loan for re lief of the farmers all over the country is imperative, if farmers are going to save their herds," Townley continued. ' ' We farmers simply must sell our cows, pigs, sheep and even horses for lack of fodder. Most of these animals are being slaughtered for meat. There is plenty of fodder, hay and roughage in parts of Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. But the farmers of North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana, , can 't get this feed be cause they have borrowed now to the limit of their credit and without fed eral aid they face certain failure. "The northwest is not alone in this acute situation. The president has listen ed to a plea on behalf of Texas cattle producers who ate in similar conditions. "Chicago packers have mtimatea Kidney Sufferers Have Feeling of Security You naturally feel secure when you know that the medicine you are about to take is absolutely pure and contains no harintul or habit producing drugs Such, a medicine is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot kidney, liver and bladder Temedyv The same standard of purity, strength and excellence is maintained in every bottle of bwamp-Koot. Swamp-Root is scientifically com' pounded from vegetables herbs. It is not a stimulant and is taken in teaspoonful doses. It is not recommended for every thing. According to verified testimony it is naturo's great helper in relieving and overcoming kidney, liver and blad der troubles.

If you are already convinced that Swamp-Bool is what you need, you will find it on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to try this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Company, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle.
