WE like the way !:och doesn't talk. High treason calls for high gal lows. Patriots, get your dollars into the trenches. The Kaiser wants peace at a bargain price. And now for the spring drive of the food brigades. History may call this "Germa ny's Suicide Battle. " They call it "Hard" cider prob ably because it is so hard to get. What are a few hundred thou sand German lives to the junkers? Let us shed our dollars at least as freely asour lighters shed their blood. Hold the line a linle longer ! Here comes America w ith the re serves. Hinienhi:i;'s star begins to look like the last moments of a toy balloon. AKTER all, the old world can thank its stars that it discovered America. IT is all over, says Hindenburg. It is with four hundred thousand Germans. THE Huns may have a super gun, but we shall soon have a su perior gun. A lot of theatrical producers cling to the belief that any play that fails is immoral. As a fond administrator Moses was more particular, but Hoover is more economical. Boyhood's plain bread and milk have gone into the luxury list with pork and beans. Of Russia's 180,000,000 peo ple above 500 have formally agreed lo accept German terms. This concerted drive against the English sparrow has the hearty ap proval of the German carp. A billion dollars a month will not be an exorbitant price for this na tion to pay for the Kaiser's defeat. THE Collinsville lynching tells us that if we don't intern the alien enemies we shall "inter" many of them. What President Wilson says, added io what General Foch does n'l say, makes a complete guide lo victory.

Disup pointed in this cunridence.the spun of the nation began to fail.like Isra el of old, w hen it wassmd"ihe soul ol the people was much discour aged ot the way." Then Lngland's best and wisest discovered the rea son for this "shortening of the soul," as one has called it. There had been too much trust m materi al things, too little nourishing ol the souls of the people upon the great, elemental principles at the heart of hngiand's religious faith. Once this truth was realized there was a w ide-reaching and suc cessful effort made to turn the thoughts of men to the forgotten source of power. Shall we not heed the warning the Archbishop of York is sound ing in our ears ? Our spirit, our courage, our faith these spiritual forces that at last will win the war must seek their daily bread at the same eternal sources of supply to which conquering souls as Crom well's Ironsides and our Pilgrim fathers steadfastly turned. Have we, like lingi.tnd in those first years of the war, been leaving (i.'d out ut councils, out of our li'e r Then we too shall awaken to the tact that our courage, hope, zeal are waning, that discourage ment and despair and complaining, are growing among us. Never more than now should this call to return unto the one unfailing foun tain ol all help for the spirits ot men will be heard from every pul pit of the land and repeated by all who hear it. THEY SAW IT IN THIS WISI.L. A High School pupil writing to the News and Observer from Dover, says : As most of the readers of this paper know, there is a supersti tion regarding May I. It is said that by taking a mirror and reflec ting a shadow in a well one can I see a sign sy mbolic of some event which is going to happen some nine in the future. No doubt on this day many shadows were cast into wells and many supposed pic lures were seen. Readers, you try it next year. On the day referred to above some pupils ol the Dover high school were looking in a well near the schoolftouse. They saw or supposed they did the Kaiser in chains, standing on a grave. They moved the shadow and looking again saw a "Sammie" in an air machine. In the front of the "Daughter of the Air" was an American flat; with thirteen stripes, but instead of stars there the figures 1-9-l-H. This whole thing, as we inter pret means that Kaiser Bill will die in chains. Also that air ma chines w ill be instrumental in de feating Germany, and thai this great conflict will end in Ivtlfi. May God speed Hie day when it shall come to pass. Ir is remarkable that the Teuts have not thought of Moating Hal loween pumpkins over London and Pans, with the idea of fright ening the inhabitants out of their wits. I:R0M a close study of Von Ilin denburg's picture we are inclined to think he should be more inter ested in a rectification of his feat ures than in the rectification of frontiers. We gather from Doctor Kennan that the Bolsheviki did not incu bate the Russian revolution. They merely addled it. About all the significance the daylight system bears lo some fel lows is that it brings quitting time an hour sooner.

It has been said that the morale of our army depended upon the spun of the Nation's women, mere than upon any other single tactor. That is good sense. The woman at home can be a dead w eight on the man in the field, or she can double his strength and courage by making him feel thai she is as truly in the service as he is. Unfortunately, the woman at home does not al ways realize this. A lad I know w rites from camp: "Can't you drop a hint to sister to cut out the "sob stutl? I know what 1 am up against. I didn't go into this thing for a picnic." Then again a sister w rites letters of how she is working in Red Cross and stands back of the boy to encourage him. Let's have the spirit and give our hoys the best there is to give. We need lo cultivate self-control for the boys' sake. Heroism is not sensational but of a quiet, maiter-of-fact kind that grips the heart. It the understanding of what our spirit means to our men is once fully burned into the consciousness of American women, if we, like our sisters of Prance and of ling land, fall in behind our fighting force to back up their efforts with every power we have in body und mind and heart, the war for liberty and democracy is won. AMi-KICAN l:H ICI!:NCY. Acting on orders from the Ger man Government, the officers and crews of the German ships intern ed in American waters inflicted such damage upon the machinery of the vessels as they deemed ab solutely certain to keep the ships out ot service for two years. By that lime the Germans thought the war would be over. But American efficiency and American invention effected the necessary repairs in from six to eight months and at a cost of $273,000; the Germans had fig ured the cost of repairs at $2,600, 000 and the necessary lime 24 months. Our own opinion is that if Mich igan perseveres in her determina tion lo send Henry Ford to the Senate she will spoil a splendid business man lo make a poor sort of statesman. THE KAISER'S TALK TO HELL. We are indebted to one of readers for the following dipping ! HQ Till Kaiser called the devil tip, l hi the telephone one day, l lic gu I at central listened id All lliey had to say. ! "I lello '" she heard the Kaiser's voice, "Is old man Satan home? Jim tell him this is Kaiser Bill I hat w ants him on the phone." The Devil said "Hello" to Bill And Bill said, "How are you?" I'm running here a hell on earth So tell me what to do. "What can I dor" the Devil said, "My dear old Kaiser Bill ? If there's a thing that 1 can do, To help you, I sure will." The Kaiser said, "Now listen, And I will try to tell, The way that I am running, t n earth a modern Hell." "I have saved for this for many years, And have started out to kill, That it will be a modern job, You leave to Kaiser Bill." My army weni through Belgium, Shooting women and children down We tore up all her country, And blew up all her towns. My Zepps dropped bombs on cities, Killing both old and young, And those the Zeppelins didn't get, Were taken out and hung. I started out for Paris, With the aid of poisonous gas, The Belgians, dam 'em, stopped us And would not let us pass. My submarines are devils, Why' you should see them light, They go sneaking through the seas And sink a ship at sight. I was running things to suit me, 'Till a year or so ago, When a man named Woodrow Wilson, Wrote me to go more slow. I Ic aid to me, Dear William, We don't want to make you sore So he sure id tell your I '-boats I i ,nl. our slisp-s no more. I did not listen lo him, And he's coming after me, uh a million Yankee soldiers, From their homes across the sea. Now that's why 1 called you, Satan, For I want advice from you, I knew thai you would tell me. Ju t what 1 ought lo do. "My Dear Old Kaiser William, I lure's not much for me to tell, For the Yanks will make it hotter, I hail I can fur you in I Icll. I have been a mean old Devil, I'.ut not lull as mean as you. And the minute that you get here, l will give my iob to you. I'll be ready for your coming, And I 'll keep the tires all bright, And I'll have your room all ready, hen Hie tanks begin to tight F'or the boys in blue will get you, I have nothing more to tell; Hang up the phone, and get your hat, And meet trie here in Hell."

Swift & Company's growth hat been the natural and inevitiu.le mult of na tional and international needs. Large-scale production and distribution ere necessary to convert the live stock of the Went into meat and by products, and to distribute them over long distances to the consuming centers of the East and abroad. Only an organization like thru of Swift A Compary, with its many packing plants, hun dreds of distributing houses, and thousands of rrfngsrator cars, would have been able to handle the varying seasonal supplies of live stock and meet the present war emergency by supplying, without interruption: First The U. S. soldiers and the Allies in Europe by shipping as much as 800 car. loads of meat products in a single week! Second The cantonments in the United States. Third The retailers upon whom the American public depends for its daily supply of meat. But many people ask Do producers and consumers pay too much for the complex service rendered? Everyone, we believe, concedes the effi ciency of the Swift & Company organization in performing a big job in a big way at a minimum of expense. Swift & Company's total profit in 1917 was less than 4 cents on each dollar of sales of meat and by-products. Elimination of this profit would have had practically no effect on live stock and meat prices. Do you believe that this service can be rendered for less by any other conceivable method of organization or operation?
