The President's Peace Answer . If there was a lurking hope in the hearts of the Germans that the Allies would agree to a covenanted peace, President Wilson's speech in New York should go a far way to dissuade them of their error and prepare their souls for the peace conference at which they will be absent and the Allies will dictate the terms. . Peace was not a question, the president said, of "coming to terms with them," as "they have " 1 e e e sn m 11 m
maae it lmDOssioie. me rnce oi peace win De
impartial justice to all nations, the instrumentality indispensable to secure it is a league of the nations formed, not before or after, but at the " peace conference, and Germany, as a member, "will have to redeem her character not by what happens at the peace table but by what follows." Peace must be guaranteed, for "there will "be parties to the peace whose promises have proved 'untrustworthy and means must be found in connection with the peace settlement to remove that source of insecurity." "It would be folly to leave the guarantee to the subsequent voluntary action of the governments we have seen destroy Russia and deceive Roumania," continued the president. "They have convinced us that they are without honor and do not intend justice. They observe no covenantsaccept no principle but force and their own interest." ... The latest utterance of the president clari
fies all talk and bluster about a negotiated peace and leaves only one alternative, namely, victory on the field of battle, with the Allies dictating on what terms peace will be declared. Pacifists and persons with Bolshevik tendencies may see in the president's speech the doom of their hopes that the Allies will listen to an armistice that will leave Germany powerful enough to plunge the world into another gigantic conflict. The world wants peace but it must be a lasting peace, possible only if Germany is shorn of all her power.
The Virtue of Silence From the Indianapolis Star. y JOSH BILLINGS once gave this excellent piece of advice: "Don't never prophesy onless ye know." It was a wise injunction as to prophecy, for there is commonly a great uncertainty about what Is going to happen tomorrow, but it is equally good in regard to the telling of other things whose truth one does not positively know sure, yet it is a habit with most of us to circulate information to whose accuracy we can x not vouch. -We say, "I heard so and so about Schmidt," the so and so being perhaps a reflection on his loyalty. Or we remark carelessly that "they say" the Brown-Jonses are about to- separate, or that "it is reported" that Jimpson is in a bad way financially. We do not know that these things are true and when the stories have gone on and grown, like the, rolling of a snowball down hill,1 and they come back to us for verification, We have to admit they were only hearsay, but the mischief ha3 been done. The government cautions people about talking freely on war matters, since, if we know anything important it may be heard by the wrong person, and if what we think we know is really incorrect, we may do mischief. Yet men who have by special privilege been admitted to a munition factory have been heard to talk loudly in public conveyance of what they saw there, and women to discuss Red Cross affairs, including the little frictions and misunderstandings, at their social gatherings. It is only common discretion to keep to ourselves what we knowjor think we know about all such matters, since talking does no good even if the tales are true. It is not less discreet to curb our tongues when disposed to repeat a bit of interesting gossip, which may or may not be fact. It is, indeed, the proof of good breeding to do so, and it saves a lot of trouble. Yet so unruly is the tongue that the most of U3 continue to "know many things that are not so," and to talk about them.
SEED CORN WEEK STARTS MONDAY
By J. C. Kline. The four day seed corn Instruction campaign ended with great success. About 1,500 boys of the high schools and the seventh and eighth grades from all parts of the county were given complete instructions by James Kline, on "How to Select and Store Seed Corn." Much interest was shown In this work. Already many of the boys have selected a quantity of seed corn. The picture of the boy or girl selecting the largest quantity of seed corn next week will appear In the dally paper. The school boys are going to select twice as much seed corn as their parents will need next year. They are going to select twice the quantity needed to fortify themselves against a possible early freeze like occured one year ago. Much of the corn has already matured and Is out of the way of the frost. The southern corn brought intl this county from outside sources is, In most cases, fully matured. From all appearances Wayne county corn crop is far ahead of most other counties. In the northern part of the state the early frost killed some of the corn so it never started and that which started was damaged by the dry weather during July. In selecting seed corn this week, Joe Helms, the corn king says: 1. Select the corn from the stalk. 2. Select cars from medium sized stalks. 3. Select drooping ears with short shanks. 4. Select ears growing from 3 to 4 feet from the ground. 5. Select only good ears. 6. Gather enough for two year's
planting. 7. Be sure the corn you save for seed is suited to this county's soil and climate. How to Store. 1. Store ears so they will not touch each other. 2. Do not lay the cars flat on floor or boards. 3. Store corn from freezing until thoroughly dry. Buy Liberty Bonds this week and select seed corn next week

Several workers who came to the Red Cross rooms Friday afternoon expecting to do Burgical dressing work
were turned away, since the Septem
ber quota has been finished and nothing more can be done until the Octo
ber quota comes. Women are asked especially to remember that the rooms will have to be closed Tuesday evening owing to lack of materials. In connection with the campaign for used and surplus clothing to be conducted by the Red Cross next week, it should be born in mind that raw material of any sort which can be made into garments pf any kind whatever, will be perfectly acceptable. The stock of raw material available in Belgium and northern France has long since been exhausted and the Commission for Relief in Belgium has opened large workshops partly to give employment to the women but mostly for the purpose of re-making worn out clothing by utilizing all unworn portions that were large enough to make into other garments. In this manner many garments have been remade several times and have been worn by successive persons. These shops are still in operation and can be utilized for putting In repair any partly worn garments and also for making new garments of materials of all sorts. The Commission also operates a large shoe repair factory where shoes may be half soled or otherwise put in repair. The standards therefore by which, the articles are judged as to their availability for the use of the Commission, is 6imply whether they still contain any material which is good enough to render any service whatever. Campaign headquarters will be open on next Tuesday morning, October 1st, at 20 -North Ninth street.

Crossing of Canal J)u Nord Big Problem in New British Attack
(By Associated Press) . LONDON, Saturday, September 28. The English and Canadian troops faced a most formidable problem at the first step of their assault this morning, says the correspondent of .the Mail, telegraphing from the front and describing the passage over the Canal. Du Nord, west of Cambrai. On the north, the canal lay between the British and the enemy, ( It 13 waist deep with mud. Further south the canal is one hundred feet in width. Only between Inchy and Moeuvres was it possible to cross the canaL Even in this restricted sector there was only a small frontage over which the British could fling their columns to reach the wide batlefield and come in direct touch with the enemy. A great part of the British troops participating In the attack had to pass through- this narrow doorway, the limits of which were as well known to the enemy as to the British. All along this front, the Germans had not withdrawn their fields, as they had further southThe barrier- was bad for the infantry, worse for the cavalry and even worse for the tanks. Seven counterattacks and a continuous bombardment of the canal at Moeuvres proved that the enemy had a full understanding of the situation and had his own advantage .there. More than, this, he put his best division, the Sixth Brandenburgers, to hold the fort. Thus the British went out against picked, men holding a picked position., Murderous Gun Fire. Acquaintance with the bottle neck through which the British troops had to defile before they entered into the greater battle made the waiting moments very tense. The effect of a sudden German barrage was not good to anticipate, but as the moments passed, the scattered firing of the German guns grew not at all in volume and when the final moment came, the
German shells were still inconspicuous. On the other hand, the British artillery fire was very heavy, being described by prisoners as "murderous." Onte across the canal, the British troops carried out a most complicated scheme of deployment with wonderful success. A number- of divisions were seen moving forward, in different directions. Some troops that crossed the canal near Inchy swung toward Bcurlon from the northwest. Some which crossed near Moeuvres, which had been wiped off the map, swung to the southeast. -They had outflanked and were behind the Hindenburg sup port line and now moved along and behind it where there was no barbed wire and no parapets before them. Some of these troops stormed Graincourt from the southeast and found themselves almost behind the German garrisons in the neighborhood of Flesquieres. These enemy forces had expected a frontal assault. Prisoners Streamed Back. , As soon as these tactical manoeuvres were well under way, other troops starting rather late in the day, stormed the line and in spite of opposition from the troops holding it, went clean across it This series of successes, mostly of a rather complicated kind, brought the British troops from Ribecourt on the south, to Bourlan Wood on the north, into a more or less straight and simple formation, and the initial phase of battle was over. There was hard fighting at various points, especially along the Hindenburg line, where the enemy machine guns were many and well served. Although the artillery fire over the whole front appeared to be slight for such a battle, it was heavy enough at certain places where the Germans were holding with heavy forces. These
strong points failed to hold up the advance any where for a long period and more and more prisoners came J streaming back to the British lines.
Their Medicine Chest For 20 Years
IT is characteristic of - folk after they pmaa tbe allotted "three score years end tea," to look . back over the days that are gone ' 'and thoughtfully live them over. I find myself, at eerenty-one, frequently drifting back a quarter of a century, when I see myself in too little drag store I owned at Bolivar, Mo., making and celling a vegetable compound to nay friend and customers what was then known only as Dr. Lewis' Medicine for Stomach, Liver and Bowel Complaints. For many years while I was perfecting my formula I studied and investigated tbe laxatives and cathartics on the market and became convinced that their main fault was not that they did not act on the bowels, but that their action was too violent and drastic, and upset the system of tbe user; which was due to the fact that they were not thorough enough In their action, some simply noting on the upper or small intestines, while others would act only on tbe lower or large intestines, and that they almost invariably produced a habit requiring augmented doses. I believed that a preparation to produce the best effect must first tone the liver, then act on the stomach and entire alimentary system. If this was accomplished, the medicine would produce a mild, but thorough elimination of the waste without the usual sickening sensations, and make .. the nser feel better at once. After experimenting with hundreds of different compound, I at last perfected tbe formula that is now known as Natars's Remedy, which I truly believe goes further
and does more than any laxative en the market today. The thousands of letters) from users have convinced me I was right, and that the user of Ratare'a Hseasy as a family medicine, even though be may have used it for twenty-five years, never baa to increase tbe dose. My knowledge of medicine and the results of its ase in my own family and among my friends, before I ever offered it for sale, caused me to have great faith ia Hstars's Renety from the very tnU And sow as I find myself Bearing the age when I must bow to the inevitable' and go to another life, my greatest pleasure is to sit each day and read the tetters that each mail brings from people as old or older than I, who tell of having used Walls's RssmsV for ten. fifteen and twenty years, and now they and their children and grandchildren have been benefitted by it. It is a consoling thought, toy friends, for a man at my age to feel that aside from bis own success, one baa done something for his fellow man. My greatest satisfaction, my greatest happiness today, ia tbe knowledge that tonight more than one million people will take a start's Retasty (NK Tablet) and will be better, healthier, happier people for it, I hope you will be one of them.
