Why Not a Permanent County Agent? The ruction attending the appointment of a permanent county agent has reached the point where citizens are grabbing for the big stick to swat the persons who are blocking the movement. Almost every county in Indiana has a county agent. Wayne county lacks this official because petty politics is being played. The men who are

obstructing the appointment are known and the reasons for their action is no secret, but is so palpably apparent that the voters themselves are getting ready to act. It is strange, indeed, that a county, which in every other respect is progressive, permits a group of men to interfere with the agricultural development of the community. A county agent is not a "dude farmer" who wears spats and sports a monocle, but is a highly trained man who knows farming from the ground up and teaches methods that are tried and true. Germany has succeeded in feeding herself on her small territory because she had trained agricultural experts to teach her farmers. The United States will be unable to raise enough food for herself and part of her Allies because she does not take advantage of the highly trained specialists who are at our service. j Increased crops this year will help decide the j

war. There's no room for argument on that point. Wayne county is counted among the backward counties of Indiana because she has no county agent. And there's no room for argument on that point either. Now the small group of obstructionists who are engaging in a little game of politics want to remember that they are not sitting in the cellar but are shuffling the cards in the open where the whole county is watching the game. And the whole county has watched these men monopolize the game long enough. The county intends to get into the game and deal some hands that will be according to Hoyle and will leave a few "political lame ducks" as a result.

Peace as the Kaiser Would Have It Following closely on President Wilson's presentation of methods by which a lasting and fair peace can be attained, Emperor William sets forth the way in which he seeks that end. President Wilson emphasizes a peace of the people directly concerned, in which they will determine for themselves the terms. The Emperor declares: "We desire to live in friendship with neighboring peoples, but the victory of German arms must first be recognized. Our troops under the gu.at Hindenburg will continue to win it. Then

Even he who runs may read the difference be

tween the spirit of President Wilson's message

and that of the emperor. Democracy is the keynote of the former, the Iron fist indicative of the latter. The Kaiser's address is so firm and determined that our lukewarm patriots, who vainly believed that Germany was seeking peace and that the Urtited States was jumping on the un-

A LITTLE SLICE O LIFE There is more than one way to break a lease. A friend of ours lived in an apartment That he didnt like and he had a year's lease. He tried to beg off, but the landlord Told him there was nothing doing. After thinking a long time, my friend Went and rented a cornet and began taking lessons. He began practicing every evening about Dusk and kept it us as long as his Fingers would hold out. In three days the landlord came And told him to vacate. My friend wouldn't. The landlord came again and said: "I'll give you your moving expenses If you'll only get out of the neighborhood." "You're on," said my friend and he moved. And the next day he took the cornet back.

in command, with the late Captain Alfred T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs, as his flag captain. One morning, it appears. Captain Mahan came to bi3 admiral with an invitation he had received to dine with a duke. "I can t accept this," said Captain Mahan, "as they forgot to invite you." "I should say you couldn't! " growled the admiral. "I'll answer it for you." Whereupon the admiral wrote: "Admiral Erben, United States navy, regrets that Captain Mahan. his flag captain,- cannot accept the Invitation of the Duke of Blank. Captain Mahan is on the sick list." An hour or so later a messenger from the duke returned with invitations for the admiral and the captain. This time the admiral wrote: "Admiral Erbin accepts with pleasure the invitation for Captain Mahan and himself. He wishes also to advise the Duke of Blank that he has taken Captain Mahan off the sick list."

Dr. Markley's Letter ;; ' Dr. S. C. Markley is one of Richmond's physicians who has enlisted in the medical corps. He holds a lieutenant's commission and is stationed at the base hospital at Camp Taylor. His letter printed in the Palladium last Monday serves a distinct patriotic purpose and is to be appreciated for that reason. He looks upon military life from a professional standpoint, which gives to his observation great weight and persuasion. Dr. Markley's statement about the moral conditions of the camp will be of interest to every mother. He says the drink curse virtually has been eliminated. Officers and men are cooperating. "It is getting to be an unpopular thing to be known as a drinker. General disap-' probation seems to have much force in questions of this kind." Coming from a man of Dr. Markley's standing in this community this observation can be

He will conclude peace only when he has subdued his enemies. The war machine is in good repair, the Kaiser believes, and the "great Hindenburg" is still on the job. If some of us are still suffering from the illusion that Germany does not mean to conquer the world and rule over it in tyrannical might, read again the Kaiser's ad

dress to tear away the deception. The Kaiser and the war party are in this war to anne?? territory and grab indemnities. Belgium and France own continental territory, England has excellent colonial possessions, and the United States has money and natural resources, all of which are coveted by the Germans. The Kaiser believes peace will come only when the force of German arms is recognized. If he is counting on the Allies submitting tamely, he and Hindenburg have another conjecture coming. And before that issue is settled, we believe

that Kin Hubbard's observation of last week, "Up t noon tday th' kaiser's six sons were enjoyin' their usual health," will undergo a modification.

IT'S A JUST GOVERNMENT One of the exchanges says that a Colorado postmaster, who was detected in the act of kissing a lady customer in the postoffice. was reported to the department at Washington and his dismissal requested. A reply was received to the effect that there was no rule of the department which prohibited a postmaster kissing a lady who wanted to be kissed, provided it did not interfere with his duties as postmaster.

In Detroit the other day an irate wife sued another woman for $10,000 for alienating the affections of her husband, a janitor. This is believed to be the first and only case on record where anybody was willing to admit they had any love for a janitor.

the curse of the camp, the doctor would have

called attention to it. The fact that he comments on its disappearance is proof that drunkenness is not characteristic of the National army. "Mothers need not have fear of sending their sons to the army because of bad influences which they believe are here. Uncle Sam's officers will see to it that the best possible care is taken of these soldiers." We are glad that a professional man out of our own community, who himself is in a position to judge accurately and from an unbiased standpoint, gives us this assurance. It is an added reason why mothers may offer their sons to the service. ' j

We believe that no army in the history of thei

world ever was mobilized under better moral conditions and surrounded with a more wholesome environment than the first National army. Not only the government itself which wants to use these boys, but the Y. M. C. A., the churches and other organizations have exerted all the positive Christian means at their command to keep the boys clean and make their army life a career

upon which they may look later with pride and satisfaction instead of a fueling of regret for the debauchery and vice in which they indulged. It may not be amiss to call attention to the "work which the churches are doing in behalf of their boys. They have raised millions of dollars to send their trained church workers into the camps to keep alive religious sentiment and spiritual life. All the denominations are working in harmonious unity. They believe they have a mission among their own boys and they are executing it with a high regard for the task that has been assigned them. We hope the mothers of Richmond will read,

"Reduce" and Be Patriotic From the Kansas City Star.

OMEN at a knitting bee in an Excelsior Springs

America owe a debt to Herbert Hoover for help

ing them reduce. They have the right idea. There is no medical secret about losing weight or gaining it. Put brutally, a person gets fat by overeating, and gets thin by eating less.

Every doctor knows this, though he sometimes is impelled to use camouflage to save the feelings of patients who don't enjoy being told the truth. Tables have been worked out showing the normal weight for various heights. For instance, the normal weight of a woman of 30, who is five feet five inches tall, is 134 pounds. If the weight is above the proper figure it is due to eating too much. It's a simple problem in arithmetic. A body of a certain size, doing a certain amount of exercise, requires a given amount of food. If it is supplied more than it

needs, the surplus is stored up as fat. If less, the body consumes some of its accumulated reserves and so loses weight. The woman who wishes to reduce will eat one slice of bread where she has been in the habit of eating two. She will cut the size of her helpings of meat and

potato. She will keep clear of candy and go slow in butter. To avoid the feeling of hunger that comes from decreasing the bulk of the regular diet she Will eat vege-i tables and fruit of considerable bulk, but of low food val-; ue, such as sdnach. lettuep. tomatoes, cabbaee. turninq !

and apples. It is the universal report from Germany that fat people have virtually disappeared there. On the limited food allowance of the country everybody has reduced. Any American woman who wants to can reduce the same way. .'. - v.,
