What must be the thoughts of our sol- diers and sailors when they return from the din of fighting and hear the hubbub in Congress about * American failures in the war?’ These men who drove the Huns ‘rance and Belgium ; who saw the German military machine wrecked and shattered ; who beheld the collapse of the greatest military power in history ; who marched into Metz and Coblenz, regarded as impregnable strongholds—what must they think when they hear America's efforts and their own endeavors described by Sena- tors and Representatives as failures? Did America win the war? Ask the Germans—they appear to be experienc- ing some sensations of defeat, Was there a breakdown of the American Army? Pat the question to the French and English, who know what reverses and handicaps really are. Did alleged American shortcomings endanger the success of the Allied arms?

S————sa—— One of our leading agricultural jour. nals suggests that it might be well to tax all farmers for every piece of farm machinery left exposed to the weather when possible to be placed under cover. Of course, the junk dealers would stren- uouslyloppose a measure of this charac- ter, as it would ruin their business, ’ Word has come from Pike county that the farmers there have awakened to the importance and necessity of raising more calves, According to the figures recently come piled by the Bureau of Statistics De- partment of Agriculture, the average value of farm lands in Pennsylvania, in- cluding buildings is $68.50 per acre. This is an average increase of $4.50 per ACTe over one year ago, - THE DEATH RECORD. Bower,—Emanue! Bower passed away at the home of his son, William J.
