ret rent from the Noyon salient has
been like a thorn in ihelr vanity for
a year and their inability to hold
what they bought at such a bloody
price at Verdun stick.i In their craws
like splinters. The Herman army and
Herman commanders have never
proved themselves as good as the
French or the Hrltlsh. They have
given ground from Switzerland to salt
water. They realise that history will
reflect no glory upon their arms at the
Yser. at Ypies, at Arras, at Noyon. or
on any other Held since the Marne
and the Maine certainly will go Into
the annals of Utile as the most decisive
triumph of French arms since Franco
begun. The Hermans tight bravely,
stubbornly and treacherously, but they
lo not tight brilliantly. They die
when commanded to do so, ami they
iiarge grimly and fatalistically When
ordered forward. Hut they do not
win when the terms are equal. The
braggart oratory of their monarch
and the shrieking self-praise of their
press do not obscure the simple facts.
And, knowing this, the rulers of the
Hermans ate determined to win back
the prestige they have lost In the
West, even though it costn half a mil-
lion Hern' mi lives, it very likely will
cost that many—and still not be won.

I am convinced that the promt-it
shortage in so many commodities is
due to the fact that, during the spring
and summer of 1917 ho many peo-
ple ne gle eted their own duties to en-
able them to tender free advice to
farmers. Waller Pontiff.

That Is ii new one, but there seems
to be some thing In It VThy not a
new law making It a penalty for any-
one to offer this "free advice" unless
he can prove that he has produced,
through his own labor, the equivalent
of r>o bushels of wheat! That ought
to produce a silence truly golden. As
a penalty wi ' rtii ggest one hour at hard

duction. Thai ought to nettle the la-

can show their patrtottnm In no bet-

resisting the great temptation of the

helping upon ti great scale, to feed
the Nation a.nd the peoples every-

dev. W IV Hobby has called the
Texas legislature to convene in extra
session on Feb «'i!. This will lie wel-
come new to the people of Teias, es-
pecially tlio , interested In seeing the
open saloons closed, where the War
liepartment has soldiers In training at
thu cantonments. Hov. Hobby, In call-
ing tin- special session, recommended
that a toll-mile law be enacted, thus
shutting out the sale of whiskey or
beer at all the cantonments. This
practically wipes out the open saloon
in Texas, Hov Hobby recommended
that the law be made a felony to sell
or give away liquor or beer at the can-
tonments, We trust that the legisla-
ture will pass t'.e law, ic r-'eoi: mend*
