Which is the worse —Germs or Germans? Watch Carranza get in the lime light again. We hope that more war will soon make less war The Henry County Fair is a certainty. We told you so. There never was a better time to show your patriotism. Germany is as far from victory .as Right is from Wrong. Did you ever play that little German game of “I Spy?” If some Germans do not be care ful, they might be used for breast works. How about a military organiza tion for McDonough ? Prepared ness first means safety first. It is reported that the Kaiser is about to die. You’d be sick too if Uncle Sam set in to lick you. If you won’t fight for the sake of humanity, you can at least raise some food for the same cause. Miss Rankin, the congress-wo man of Montana, cried when cast ing her first vote —against war. Where she belongs is in Montana —not Washington. We’d be willing to bet our hat that the Boy Scouts of America, if allowed, would gladly volunteer to fight. And that is more than lots of grown men would do. All town knockers ought to be conscripted and sent to the front —they are so expert at home when it comes to killing every good movement for town better ment. Civilization has always been and always will be the master over barbarism, and it is only a question of time until this great war will demonstrate to Germany that “honesty is the best policy.” If^ yon wish to make sure That your heart beats true, Just answer this question, “Dws the flajr appeal to you?” If the sight of Ohl Glory Causes tears of emotion, There is no mistaking. It is real true devotion. So let the world »ee If you be patriot or not, Just prove it with deeds. And you'll,ne’er be forgot. Just about planting time, the cotton kings always boost the price of cotton. It is only a scheme, and we hope the fanners will “put one over them” tnis year by cutting cotton acreage and planting and raising abundant food supplies—else all will go hurt- Loyal Negro Troops. Among prominent representa tives of the race of Booker T. Washington is his nephew, Roscoe Conkling Simmons of Louisville, Ky., who, according to the ‘‘Cour ier-Journal,” is 'dewed by his peo ple as having qualities of leader ship commanding the popular es teem in which his uncle was held. Addressing an assemblage of his own race recently, Simmons spoke along lines of patriotic ac tion in a spirit of true American ism that comes as a forceful re buke to sniveling white pacifists of the slacker few that would in vite national humiliation and cow ardly submission. To these words from the Ne groe’s declamation of faith in our Government’s course are com mend ng those individuals of Cau casian skin and saffron liver wh i declaim against America maintain taining her rights on the free seas: We have a record to de fend, but- no treason, thank God, to atone or explain. While in chains we fought to free white men —from Lexing ton to Carrizul —and returned again to our chains. No Ne gro has ever in -lilted the flag. No Negro ever struck down a President of these United States. No Negro ever sold a military map or secret to a foreign government. No Ne gro ever ran under fire or lost an opportunity to serve, to to fight, to bleed and die in republic’s caii'-e. Accuse us of what you will —juslly and wrongly —. o man can point to a single instance of our dis loyally.

The digging hf the Panama ca nal has generally been regarded as the biggest thing of the kind yet undertaken, necessitating the moving of 250,000,0CX) cubic yards of earth and rock. But it is esti mated that not less than 1,000,- 000,090 cubic yards have been ex cavated for British, French and German trenches, extending 750 miles across Western Europe. Each of the 750 mile long ditch es, the first, second and third line trenches on either side, together with the “alternatives,” as they are called, are connected one with another by a perfect labyrinth of communication trenches, repre senting many thousands of miles of digging and tunneling. Entire nations have toiled for Jong months in order to scar the face of Europe with these im mense ditches. Taken collective ly, nothing like them has ever be fore been accomplished by human agency. A similar exc ivalion would be sufficient to make four twin paral lel tunnels througu the center of the earth, each 14 feet in diameter and 8,000 miles long, capable of accommodating subway trains. Had Trouble Four or Five Years No one appreciates good health like those wiio are ill. W. J. Furry, R. F. D. 2, Salem, Mo., writes: “I have been bothered with bladder trouble four or five years. It gave me a great deal.of pain. I took different medicines, but nothing did me any good until 1 got Foley Kidney Fills.” Many persons suffer from kidney and bladder trouble when they can be relieved. Backache, dizziness, rheumatic pains, stiff or sore joints and other symptoms yield to Foley Kidney Fills.

Farmer, Louisville, Ga., says: that he has used no other hulls but Buckeye for the past year and gets good results. Cows have not been both ered with cough since using Buckeye Hulls. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
