While there is no semblance of disgrace to be drafted for training, it is quite a credit to the county to have so many volunteers. x 0 Farm prices are quite encour aging to the growers this year and many of them will make a substantial profit on their farm operations this year for the first. time in many years. Many will! be able to retire debts of long standing, others will be able to I pay off mortgages on their, farms and homes which will mean much to their future. All in all, a good year will be had by the farmers, . —«• The United States appears de-. finitely headed for war as a re sult of the sea activities of the Germans this week.
