It sppeari from new* which leskml •out of Germany, in spite of the un usually slose censorship, that the Ger man officials are telling their men and women that the Amercan troops will cut little figure in the big war. If the German people knew what they were were up against they would refuse to listen to such foolish assertions. Hie funniest part of it is that they claim that Americans can't think <]uick enough. What a joke! That's our reputation—quick to thjnk. The German* will find that out soon enough. In the meantime, we at home should get ready for the big drive. Of course we all can't go to the front bat we can do our bit in just as important a manner right at home. Let us keep fit to carry on the indus tries of the nation, till the soil, work the mines, and keep the ammunition flowing to the front in a steady stream. Backache* muit be cotton rid of; thoM stomach disorder* such an in direction, constipation, etc., must be eliminated; weak, »maemic bodies must be made strong and vigorous; weak kidneys and bladder must be strengthened; in other words we must keep fit! Acid Iron Mineral will keep you fit. It Is not a patent medicine. It is a pure, natural iron preparation obtain ed from the only natural medicinal iron mineral deposit of its kind known to the world. It aids digestion, in creases weightcreatesappetite.streng thens dormant muscles, brings a healthy color to the skin, and builds up the body in general; and is free from alcohol, will - not injure or dis color the teeth. Old sores, ulcers, etc., regularly bathed with A-I-M will puirkly dis appear and applied to cuts, wounds, or abrasions it stops blood almost in Htantly. At all druggists in SO and 91 sixes. Chronic Coastipatieo. It is by no means an easy matter to cure this disease, but it ran be done in most instances by taking Chamber lain's Tablets and complying with the plain printed directions that accom accompany each package. New High Mark Set For Wl»««t Washington. 0. C.—The Depart ment of Agriculture of the United State* he* let 1.000,000.000 bushels u the wheat yield mark for 11*18. A Houston on Tuesday nay* the produc tion of this raat amount of wheat and of 83,000,000 bushels of rye wfll.be possible through the planting of 47, 337,000 acre* to winter wheat and 5, 131,000 acre* to rye thia fall. Accord ing to the department figure*. Uli* re cord winter wheat acreage an increase of 18 per cent over Ia*t year, would yield 672,000,000 bushels if the aver age yield for the pest 10 year* is equaled, or, under a repetion of the favorable conditions of 1914, would give 880,0000,000 bushels. In either case, with a spring wheat crop next year equal to that of 1016, the nation will have more than 1,000,000,000 bu shels of wheat for domestic use apd export. Thin vastly increased production or wheat, needed in any case, will be ab solutely essential to prevent a serious shortage of breadstaffs next summer should the growing tmru, now behind the season, be much damaged by early Tracts. The program approved by the Sec retary of Agriculture represents the beat thought of the United State* De partment of Agriculture and of State agricultural officials and state councils of defense. The study of this question has in volved many factors, and the special ist* have been aware from the Arst that the demands for wheat may ex ceed the supply next year. Effort therefore has been made to recom mend in each State about as large an acreage in Wheat and rye as can be «own without upsetting proper farm practice, which must be maintained in the interest of wheat and rye crops this and succeeding years, as well as in the interest of other necessary spring-planted crops, which are not discussed in detail at this time, as they are not food crops in which a marked shortage exists.

Y.—With prospects bright for th« largest com crop on record, the people of the United State* may well expect to eat more corn and corn product* thia year than ever be fore, according to Thomaa G. Hull of the American Museum of Natural His tory. "There are two 1 eat ton* why thia ahould be done," *ay» Mr. Hull. "Firat corn will not be in as much demand by European countrie* a* will wheat, *o it will be our patriotic duty to eat corn and export wheat. Second, the half billion extra boiheli •( corn grown this year will make it a cheap food stuff within the r«>ch of all. "Ordinarily, only one-tenth U the corn crop reaches the mills, while nine tenth* is fed on the farm* to live stock. The price of torn meal is less than 4 cents a pound when bought in bulk, while wheat flour la nearly 7 cents a pound. Not only can corn meal be cooked in many different ways, but ita products are valuable as foods. Notable among these are corn flakes, corn starch, and corn sirup. The housewife will be able to put on her table many new, delightful, and nutritious dishes this year, and that at a considerable saving in coat.'' The sad looking man at the corner table had been waiting a long time for his order. Finally his waiter ap proached and, with a flourish, aair: "Your Ash will be coming tn a min ute or two now, air." The sad man looked interested. "Tell me," he said, "what bait are you using?"

Tha Britiaher encountered the submarine on her last outward trip from this port. One shell destroyed the periscope. The second and third ware followed by an explosion and the submarine dis appeared.
