CONDITIONS and
NEEDS OF OUR SOIL
"If There Is One Lesson of History
That Is Unmistakable, It Is
That National Strength Lies
Very Near the Soil."-Daniel
Webster.
By Cyril G. Hopkins.


In the first chapter Of the book |
Of books it is written: And God !
said unto them, be fruitful. and
multiply, and replenish the earth,
and subdue it. y
OF these four commandments we
have obeyed the first two, but we
have disobeyed in America since
1907, the last two Of these COM
mandments.
When our own fathers were born
(and many Of them are still living),
there were II million people in the
United States-in IS4O; but the
census Of 1910 reveals population
Of o. millions in contiguous, con-
tinental United States.
Yes, we have multiplied-multi-
piled by 500 per cent during the full
time Of one life. But have we re-
plenished the earth and subdued it /?
Have we increased Our acre-yield
by 500 per cent: No, we have not.
For three centuries We have taken
from the earth and have not re-
plenished it. Neither have we
subdued the earth; but we have
been subdued by it. AS tillers of
the soil, men made in the image
of God, we have been defeated by
the inanimate earth, driven out
from our Eastern States and forced
to surrender back to nature mil

President Newton Peer of the

announced that a Judge for the

George Stedman Thomas of Ham,

The premium list for the show
will soon be out and will be sent
to every dog fanoier in Washing

are especially urged to begin and
get their dogs IN condition for the
show. About so dogs have been
promised from California, and be-
side these will be dogs from Mon
tana, Wyoming, Oregon and other
states.
President Peer has also con-
ceived the idea of having every
dog examined by veterinary be-
fore he Is allowed In the bench
ing room. This will insure other
dogs and prevent dogs being lost.

ious disease. The dogs will also
be taken care of by expert attend

their comfort will be done while
the dogs are on the bench.

This training trip will cost his

Mack could have toured the

Mack is always planning for the

cession, and says he is going to
work on the third consecutive
pennant winner this year. His is
the kind of determination that
will make the team win the PEN
|nant.
Down In the Southern league,
while playing in the Imperial val
ley, Cameron's team had the lead
for, the pennant. The game being
played was the decisive one.
winning that game meant the PEN
nant. In the ninth inning Cam
eron's team was holding the game
3 to 0 when Capron, a former Ia
coma Tiger, came to bat. Ellis
was pitching. Both Cameron and
another player warned Ellis that
Capron was wild hitter, erratic
and that he was a fiend on balls
close In and we'll up. Ellis was
Ievidently conceited, for instead of
shooting them over to the outside
of the plate he gave Capron the
ball he wanted. There were two
men on bases and Capron made a
home drive, tieing the score.
1t was not until the 18th in
ming that Cameron's team finally
wriggled In another score and
COPIED the pennant.
It will be a week or 10 days
before there can be much judging
lof pitchers. The recruits are
merely shooting them In fast and
trying to get control. None of

This much was decided at yester-

REPLY TO

Response to Note Of SeCre.
tary Knox May Not Be in
Nature Of UItimatim
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The
presentation Of the state department
rejoinder to the Mexican reply to Sec.
retary Kaox's note Of last September
demanding protection for American
interests in Mexico, may not take
place until after the holidays.
Secretary Knox is leaving Washing
ton today for his home at Valley
Forge to be absent until early in
January, and the intervening tlnc
before he returns probably will be
utilized in the careful preparation OF
the American note which in a way is
likely to be of historic importance as
marking a. distinct crisis in qthe re-
lation between the two countries. Or
ficials disclaim that the note will be
an ultimatum, attaching to that word
it's technical meaning of the demand
which must be completely met by a
specified date. But that forthcoming
note, while moderate in terms and
dignified in character. will deal with
issues between America and Mexico
in the tirmest and most uncompr0mis-
ing spirit fully.
1t is expected the administration
has been brought to this attitude by
the unexpectedly defiant tone OF the
Mexican reply to Knox's September
note. .. .-."... .t... e"

FARGO, a. d., Dec. 21.-Republi.

initial gun Of the 1914 campaign. The
executive committee has issued a cir.
cular letter to the state press an.
nouncing its plan to carry out the in
structions of the. central committee
and maintain headquarters in Fargo.
An educational campaign will be con
nucted and an effort made to do pre-.
lminary work so the next campaign
will not be such hurried affair and
limited to a few short weeks.
The feature OF the circular s the ad.
mission that there has been justifca.
tion for the differences that have ex-
listed in the past, that factionalism is
and the emphatic declaration
that the republicans of North Dakota
are more united than at any time In
a decade. 1t is poilted out that the
republican and state congressional
tickets were easily elected that the
Legislature is overwhelmingly repub.
lican, and that more than the usual
number Of republican, county officials
