Every County, Excepting Wayne The Weekly Bulletin of the Food Administration says this of Indiana: "Indiana has so favored a system of county organization that the Food Administration in that state has arranged a regular series of county meetings to hear addresses on food and other war problems. Three members of a commission recently sent to Europe by the United States Food Administration to ascertain actual food conditions at the front and behind the lines were assigned as speakers at Indiana county meetings immediately upon their return from Europe, and from that state are to go on an extended speaking tour through the Middle West, co-operating with the Food Administration in each state." Almost every county in the state has a county agent to advise farmers and help in food conservation. Wayne is the one glaring exception. Why? Because a handful of "peanut politicians" prevents the appointment of an agent. The people want his services, but their will is blocked by a group of reactionaries. Farmers desire his presence, but their wish is nullified by a few men who dare not publicly defend their position. The federal food administration did not know about these men in Wayne county, or it surely would have added parenthetically that Wayne county, home of Oliver P. Morton, Indiana's great Civil war governor, residence of hundreds of boys in the service today, is not to be included in the praise so generously bestowed.

Home Gardens Scores of families have arranged for home gardens. They have obtained permission of vacant lot owners to cultivate them for a patriotic purpose. Other families have neglected to take time by the forelock and act while there still is a chance to obtain a lot near their residencs. Food is daily becoming scarcer. We are beginning to note the shortage in many ways. The restrictions on the purchase of flour is merely one instance. The condition will grow worse instead of improving in the next months. Home gardens will ease the drain on the fast

diminishing supply. The vegetables raised at by your Government

home are distinct contributions to the food supply of the nation. Every patriot will cultivate a garden for two reasons : One to help his nation, the other, to save the money which otherwise would be expended for the purchase of vegetables. We are fortunate in possessing enough vacant lots to enable many citizens to become producers instead of consumers of the scant food supply. A producer is more desirable than a consumer. He is adding wealth to the nation's financial system and is not competing with the government in the purchase of foodstuffs.

Conquest and Kultur "Its the war meaning and aim is the unification and purification of Germany in order that it may be qualified for its historical task, to be the heart of Europe and to prepare for a realization of the hopes of European humanity. We are fighting the fight of light against darkness. We are not all good, but our will is bent toward the good. And to the upright of spirit God will allot success." This was his main idea as to the purpose of the war, and it was as if one could hear the clear voices of children singing: "O Germany, high in honor, thou holy land of faith!" The Kaiser.

Tighten the Belt

From the Saturday Evening Post.

HE Treasury faces a deficit of ten billion dollars

for the current fiscal year, which ends with next June. Allowing for the proceeds of the first and

second Liberty Loans and for the full amount of taxes levied, the sums appropriated would still outrun receipts by about ten billions. The full amount appropriated may not be spent because the Government is unable to get the work done; but as every dollar spent means that much war' preparation accomplished there is no satisfaction in deferred payments. To meet this deficit the Treasury is already selling four percent short-term certificates and war-savings stamps and certificates. Later on it will offer another issue of Liberty Bonds. Paste that figure of ten billions in your hat. It measures what the Government requires of you between now and June thirtieth. In 1917 the public took about six billions of bonds and certificates; of which, however, several hundred millions remain in the hands of the banks owned by them or as collateral for loans. We must beat that record from now to the end of June. Don't wait for a Liberty Loan drive. The real drive is on right now. It will be here as long as war lasts. See what you can save. Particularly take up with these war-savings certificates and stamps. They are ou sale everywhere. Get the habit! The United States has undertaken to set a world record in producing and saving. We have promised it to those who are fighting our battles on the physical field. It is your promise, made

HOW TO BURN INDIANA COAL

Since it looks as if Indiana will be asked to burn Indiana coal for another year retail dealers and consumers are showing an unusual interest in the "nature of the animal." Very little scientific information can be obtained about Indiana coal, there having been no study along this line by the state institutions. For this reason the following from W. D. Stuckenberg. presi

dent of the Commercial Testing and j

Engineering Company, of Chicago, is of unusual interest. In a recent issue of "The Coal Scoop" published by the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants' Association. Mr. Stuckonberg said: The coals found in Illinois and Indiana, are higher in volatile matter or

gases than the Eastern coal.

Remember that the deposit of soot is caused by the gases not being burned and by their coming in contact with relatively cool surfaces. This causes a decorn position of the gas and a consequent deposit of soot. One-sixteenth-inch deposit of soot on heating surfaces means 25 loss of coal. One-ei?lith-inch deposit of soot on heating surfaces means 45 los of coal. Three-sixteenth-inch deposit of soot

New Netherlands Minister Is Here

August Philips. WASHINGTON. Feb. IS. When August Philips, new minister from the Netherlands, arrived at the capital he brought with him a fancy stock of advice from the Dutch folk on how to convince the United States that Holland was a friendly neutral. Before sailing from Amsterdam he had an audience with Queen Wilhelmina and crown suggestions were made to him. From various other sources he received suggestions galore as to what to do over here, one of , which was a tour of the United States to acquaint the Americans with Holland's position in the war. It is the concensus of opinion among Dutch officials that Holland's low estimate In the minds of some American is due rather to miscues in diplomacy than to anything Holland has done as a nation. Philips came over on the Nieuw Amsterdam and brought with him his wife and four daughters.

A LITTLE SLICE 'O LIFE In the soft rays of the oil stove Even the sitting room of the boarding house Looked attractive to the "star" boarder. The warmth and comfort thawed his heart. The landlady was his only companion in the room. He turned and clasped her hand warmly in his own. "Will you be my wife?" he asked. She did not blush. Her leyes were clear. It bad been a long, hard winter. ' She said: "Let me see; You have been here four years; , You have never grumbled at the food Or failed to pay my bill very promptly.

No, I am sorry I cannot marry you. You are too good a hoarder To put on the free list These hard times."

75 ARE CALLED BY EATON BOARD

EATON, O, Feb. 18. The county draft board has called seventy-five registrants, classified In Class One-A. to report here Tuesday for physical examination, according to H. R. Gilmore, secretary of the board. Dr. J. C. Ryder, of the board, assisted by other physicians, will conduct the examinations in the K. of P. hall. It will be necessary to select thirty-four men to full the county's quota, which Is 162. Ten men sent to camp for training have been discharged because they did not fill the physical requirement. The county's last increment was twenty-four men, but because of the discharge of ten from camp it is necessary to seject thirtyfour. -The board at this time does not know when the men are to be sent to training camp. An application has been filed in probate court for appointment of a guardian for Everett Yost, fanner, who was held to the grand jury on a larceny charge and later committed from probate court to the Dayton State hospital. Action upon the application will be taken Wednesday.

Woman Feeling Well Again Now Tells How Tanlac Built Up System and Banished Tired Out Feeling.

"My health got so bad before I took Tanlac that I thought I wasn't going to be able to hold my place at the laundry," said Mrs. John Shatters 502 Senate street, Indianapolis. "I got so weak that it just seemed almost impossible for me to stared on my feet all day. "It's different since I've taken Tanlac, though. Why, I'm really feeling well again. "My system was run down all over before I took Tanlac. I had a tired, exhausted feeling in mornings," I often had dirzy spells, too, and spots would dance before my eyes. "One of the womin where I work told me Tanlac had helped her and that it was the best medicine she ever tried, so I took it. I'vo taken three bottles of Tanlac now and every one of the old symptoms have disappeared. I shall always keep a bottle of Tanlac in my house." Don't let your system get run down.

Weakness is dangerous. If you are not feeling right, take Tanlac and don't put it off until your condition gets serious. Get Tanlac today. You can get Tanlac at Thistlethwaite's Drug Store or any other good drug store. Adv.

therefore, the gases are given off very

rapidly. 3. The larger sizes of coal (lump egg and nut ) have fewer surfaces and exposed and the gas is distilled off slowly. 4. Remember that when you throw a shovel full of fine, dry coal onto a redhot fuel bed the gases are driven off so rapidly that an explosion really takes place and you get a "comeback" by the fire and smoke coming out of the firing door. 5.
