The Determination to Win
The smashing blow which Hindenburg deliver
ed against the British front will make the Amer
ican people grit their teeth and get down to busi
ness. Too many of us have looked upon our entrance into the great war as a duck shooting expedition or a summer's outing in which our boys would enjoy themselves immensely even if a few of them are killed.
The determination of the Kaiser and his staff
to break through the British line ought to be the final convincing proof that we are engaged in a struggle that will tax our man power and financial strength to the limit. We are fighting a deter
mined foe, who strikes hard and unexpectedly and
always with the grim decision to win.
That determination of the enemy must be met with a superior determination of ours, which will
manifest itself in a fixed program to transform our whole nation into an armed camp in which
all of us are doing a day's work to help win the
war. We cannot play at this game or look upon it as
a pleasant social diversion. Our business, in
dustry, transportation, professional, social and religious institutions must apply themselves to the task ahead of them. We have no time to lose. Days lost by foolish bickering and debating are days given Germany to put the finishing touches on her war machine. The news from the front these days emphasizes the necessity of wholehearted action. So far there is nothing to indicate that the
British have been crushed so that they cannot
rally, permitting an open campaign in which Hmdenburir can rush his success to a finish. Until
the Germans are able to smash the British line
completely, leaving a big gap through which he can force his troops, Hindenburg has gained nothing. The progress of the battle ought to serve as a powerful incentive for hurried and effective preparation on our part. The men, materials and money of the United States will win the war, provided we Americans permit the men, material and
money to be fashioned into effective tools for the
generals and commanders of the overseas forces. Seed Corn The attention of farmers is directed to that fact that the Martindale Elevator company of Greensfork is attempting to bring another car load of seed corn to Wayne county through the department of Purdue university. Wayne county farmers still need hundreds of bushels of seed corn for spring planting. The difficulty of obtaining seed is known to every agriculturist. Here is a chance to get this much desired article. Farmers who want seed corn must send their orders to Mr, Martindale at once. It will do the farmers no good to plow their land, if they have no seed corn. Neither will it profit them to plant seed of last year's crop unless it has been tested and found satisfactory. The General verdict, however, is against trying to use last year's crop for seed purposes. It is a Shame that Wayne county has no agricultural agent to take charge of this important work. We are to blame for this situation. We have had the opportunity of obtaining a man in years past, but permitted certain men to block the movement. Now it seems to be too late, Purdue has no man available. An efficient man is never so necessary as in a
crisis, cents.
Then he proves his worth in dollars and
Setting the Pacifists at Work The New York Times editorially points out the inconsistency in the stand pacifists who, while they refuse to shoulder a gun nevertheless see no objection Ift building a railroad over which the gun can be transported. Says the editorial: By clearly defining the sorts of toil which this country now can demand and insist on getting from "conscientious objectors " President Wilson has taken action that will fairly well reconcile the ordinary American to the existence of those strange folk. Whether or not his decisions will be equally pleasing to the strange folk themselves remains to be seen, but their opinions on the subject are not of much importance. The first thing that will be noted by both classes, probably, is that, of the tasks assigned
by the President to the man whose conscience won't let him do any real fighting, not a few involve serious risk to limb and life. That will at least free those thus favored from the rather widespread suspicion that the sincerest of their objections are objections to getting hurt. As for the objectors who will be employed further from the front than they would be in the medical service, they will serve a double purpose that of performing work necessary for the conduct of war and of .freeing for the livelier activities of the firing line men who are not "too sensitive to use rifle, or even bayonet, on deserving recipients of such attentions. What common people never will understand, however, is how a man whose conscience will not
permit him to assist in the actual destruction of
his country's enemies can persuade that section of his "psyche" to let him participate in activities that are just as essentially those of war as is that of going over the top or of firing a machine gun at an advancing German regiment. Consistency and conscientious objecting do not seem to go together. The fully explicable pacifist would go to jail or the gallows before he would help build a railway over which soldiers were to be transported toward the front, or even before he would chop down spruce trees in an Oregon forest if he knew that the resulting lumber was to be used in making war airplanes. The Soldier By Marion Coutbouy Smith of The Vigilantes. HE moves among bis fellow-men, quiet and straight and strong. Ready to Join the gallant host that light the mighty Wrong; He doesn't feel like a hero he ia just a human boy, With a modest pride in his uniform, and a deep sustaining joy. He's not a part of the conquering horde a vast inhuman Plan; He has not known the savage spur that finds the brute in the man; He's a little shy and a little kind he rather dreads to kill, But he'll set bis lips and sight his gun, and go to it with a will! He wouldn't be called "Crusader"; be wouldn't pose as a Knight; But bis soul has left the accolade of the sacred sword of Right; He's springing now to the stern defense of a world whose wounds are sore, And there's a light in his grave young eyes that was never there before. Oh, mother of his, be glad of bim! Be proud of his willing hart, So ready to place bis life at stake, so eager to play bis part. Be true to him, and be brave to him; steady your sigh' ing breath; He is yours today on the spirit's height he is yours in life or death. Soldier of ours, go put, then, will gallant soul and gay! Young manhood is the bravest thing in all the world today. Could we but fight or die with you! The time is sad and loss; But our hearts are beating high with you to the drum and the marching song.

Plant sweet corn about the time of the last killing frost in spring and make S or 4 successive planUngs at Intervals of two weeks. From a quarter pint to a half pint of seed is sufficient for a hundred-foot row. Plant the seed, in drills 3 feet apart and thin to a single stalk every 10 to 14 inches, or plant 5 to 6 seeds in hills 3 feet apart each way, and thin out to 3 to 5 stalks in a hill. Cover the seeds
about 2 Inches deep. Cultivate fre
quently, taking care to remove all suckers from around the base of the
stalks. U. S. Department ,of Agricul
ture.
LATE CABBAGE Late cabbage is usually grown as a
'crop following early potatoes, peas or
some otner crop that leaves the ground free for about one-half the growing seasou. The plants may be grown in the seed bed, it being necess
ary to sow the seed some three or four weeks before it is desired to set
them in position In the garden. It is
an excellent plan to follow early potatoes with late cabbage, as none of the Insects that affect early potatoes are liable to molest the late cabbage, and It is possible to set the plants
between the potato rows some two or three weeks before the potatoes are dug. In this manner sufficient time is gained to permit the cabbage to reach maturity before hard freezing weather occurs in the fall. The rows should be- about 3 feet apart and in the rows. Slight freezing does not injure cabbage, but It should not be subjected to repeated freezing and thawing. Late cabbage can be stored by taking up plants and packing them closely together in a trench, placing a frame of boards or poles around the trench, some supports across the top, and covering the whole with 6traw or corn fodder. The heads may be removed as needed and the rooth and stems left in position in the trench. These will furnish an abun dant supply of greens in early spring. 17. S. Department of Agriculture.

The good old days of the muckrakers are now regarded as having been some days. If Prof, Karl Muck persists Jn hh inartistic treatment of "The Star Spangled Banner,' we will have to call them into service again. See a patriotic farmer has sent ten barrels of Klefer pears To the boys in France. If they ever get to throwing those at the enemy, it will be a new horror in trench fighting, and the execution will be awful. Said the lecturer on conservation: "I dare say there is not a man in this audience who ever lifted his finger or done a thing to help save the forests of country." A little man rose tremblingly and said. "I have." "Ha, ha! What have you done?" asked the lecturer. "1 have used a patent pocket cigar lighter for nine years, and haven't used a roatb." AFTER.

DINNER 5TORIEJ "Waiter;" said the Indignant customer, "What does this mean? Yesterday I was served for the same price with a piece of chicken twice the size of this." "Yea, sir," answered the waiter. "Where did you sit?" "Over by the window."
"Then that accounts for , it. We always give people who sit by the window large portions. It is an advertisement!" Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch comedian, is known to be a man of rather economical habits. He owns an estate in Scotland, and one day invited two Scotch friends of his to go Ushlng, and it was agreed that the first to catch a fish should stand treat at the Inn. As Lauder was known to be an ex-, pert fisherman his friends took, considerable delight in assuring him that he had as good as lost already. "And do you know," said Lauder, telling about it afterward, " both the fellows I went fishing with had a good bite but they were so mean that they would not pull in on it." "Then you lost?" "Oh, no," said Lauder. "I didn't put any bait on my hook." Richard was playing with a toy machine. His mother heard an unusual commotion and hurried to the room.
