These failures to make large and
substantial gains where at all oppos
ed have been despite the fact that
the Kaiser’s governmental system
hid teen deliberately preparing for
years for this sort of brutality and
i fright fulness and intrigue, crushing
lin its own people all the finer in
istincts of life, while the rest of the
'world had left behind it as outworn
I toys and relics of barbarism the very
| tilings Prussia was treasuring and
I developing. The rest of the world
was trying to get away from these
' Prussian devices and climb to a
! higher plane of living that approach
led more nearly the divine. Yet with
all this preparing and the rest of
the world's lack of preparedness, the
I Prussian scheme has not won out
and shall not win out. if it takes ev
ery man and every dollar in this
country for the nex' fifty years. In
all this frightfulness and debauchery
of the finer human instincts he has
claimed God as his partner, although
God is a God of intelligence and civ
ilization and the finer emotions.
And the only reason that he has
not been suddenly destroyed is that
a more lingering and complete de
struction that shall destroy his whole
governmental machine with him is
planned for him.”—Strickland Gil

TRAMP ASSAULTS YOUNG GIRL
Modale. la.- Friday afternoon as
she was on her way to a neighbor’s,
Mary Huett, the 16-year old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Huett, living
five miles southwest of Modale, was
attacked by a tramp, who was hiding
under the cut-off railroad bridge,
which she crossed.
lie seized the girl and threw her.
face down in the mud and cut off
her hair with a knife. As soon as
possible an alarm was given, the
sheriff’s office notified and a posse
searched the vicinity and woods in
the district all night and for many
hours since, in search of the* assail
ant. but without result.
Miss Huett was only able to de
scribe her assailant as wearing a
dark suit of clothes.
He made no further attempt to
harm the girl and the motive for
such a strange attack is not readily
apparent.
IOWA HAS MUCH WOOD
FOR FI'EL PURPOSES
lowa has 2,611,110 acres of nat
ural timber in its 33,000,000 acres
of farm lands, so figures compiled
by the forestry department of the
State Agricultural college at Ames
show.
There is. therefore, a considerable
amount with which to supplement
the fuel supply of the state, and a
more general use of wood for fuel
during war times, particularly the
down wood, is being urged by the
federal fuel commission and its
workers.
Prof. McDonald of the forestry
department at Ames and two assist
ants will make a tour of the state
and urge a more liberal use of wood
for fuel. Methods of burning wood
in soft coal stoves have been devised.
S< ARCITY OF HENS;
THE ROOSTER PAYS
One result of the recent move to
conserve eggs is the scarcity of chick
ens on the market.
In places where Saturday usually
brings a dozen or two of these de
sirable meat substitutes, there were
none to be had Saturday.
The reason, said the grocer, is
that the government has tasked the
people not to sell their hens. There
fore the hens did not arrive. The
men chickens- will have to pay the
penalty but there are not enough of
them to go around after the “swat
the rooster” campaign of last year.
The lot of the male chickens is be
coming lees enviable each day.

If maximum crops are to be raised, all farm machin
ery likely to be used this year, must be put in good re
pair so as to avoid delays in the field.
The week of March 4 to 9, inclusive, has been desig
nated as National Implement Inspection anti Repair
Week, anti the farmers of the United States are urged
to inspect their implements and place orders for needed
repairs that week.
The great difficulty of securing malleable and steel
parts, which renders it impossible for dealers to carry
the usual repair stocks, together with the delays in trans
portation, rentier it necessary to plaee orders for your
repair requirements early.
The warning has been given, do not fail to heed it
by putting off ordering your repairs until the day you
want to use the implement.
The Food Administration of the Department of Ag
riculture and the Councils of Defense give sanction to
this movement.
You will be performing an act of loyalty by heeding
this appeal and acting promptly.
