BREAK THE SWORD

The sword ought never again to be
sheathed. 1t ought to be broken.
This war that threatens the world,
destroying the treasures Of civiliza-
ton and turning back humanity to
savagery. famine and death, ought to
be the worlds last war. In order
that it may be the last, it's weapons
ought to be put out of the reach OF
any nation. The spoils of this war
ought to be not new territory for the
victors, and not the destruction of the
vanquished but disarmament for van
pushed and victors alike.
All national ornaments must be
destroyed All great armies must be
dissolved All great navies must be
dispersed. The nations. before their
wounds have time to close. must come
together, recognizing their community
interests and for the defence and de-
velopment of their community rights.
In that new community Of nations no
one nation can be allowed to carry
gun and a knife. Each nation must
keep the peace and give protection
within its own borders, but in the
community Of nations there must be
international comfy. There must be
international public opinion, interna-
tional Jurisprudence, international
courts, international judgments exc
cuted by an international author
ity obedient to the sanctions OF in
ternational justice. Nations shall not
lift up sword against nation. That
sword Of national hate or national
vengeance must be broken, broken for
all. broken forever. Michigan

FARM and ORCHARD
Government To Help Hog Raisors

The modern method of solving ag-
ricultural problems by investigating
them. not only in the laboratory. but
also on the farm in cooperation with
the farmer. has given such admirable
results that il is to be applied to the
anti-hog-cholera crusade.
Congress has appropriated half
million dollars to carry on the work
and experiments will be made in all
parts of the United States The aim
will be not only to exterminate the
disease in the test sections, but also
to discover the most practical, efii-
cient and economical methods for
continuing the work throughout the
country
This investigation will fill a long
felt want i'm Michigan as the hog
death rate i'm this state from cholera
is 81 per 1000 head. and hog raisers
are losing an average Of S1,406 hogs.

DEFECTIVE WINGS IN DUCKS

Mr.. Hicks.
Dear Sir:
l raise Indian Runner ducks and
my best drake has six feathers on the
tip of the wings which grows up.
Must / pick them and raise from that
duck or not? Please let me know in
the next issue Of the Banner.
Ans.-I believe that your duck has
in some way gotten his wing feathers
hurt and if you would pull them out
il is possible that they might come
all right next time. IL they do not |
would advise you not TO use such a
specimen as a breeder for the young
sters might possibly show such de-
fects. For breeding use only birds
that come near the standard require
ments and healthy, vigorous breeders
showing strong vitality. In this way
you will build up flock that will
prove profitable to you.

Mr.. Hicks.

Mr.. Hicks.
Dear Sir
| will write to ask you if you can
give me information about treating
chickens with bad colds. have
quite a lot of it in my flock and have
lost several of them.
Ans.-First remove the cause.
There is something wrong with your
housing, or else your stock is exposed
TO the cool air of the early morning
too much. Colds are the result of
draughts and exposure. IL poultry is
healthy and kept comfortable there
is no danger of colds. Give TO each
bird one grain Of quinine twice day.
Use only fresh air, plain poultry
houses and make your birds work and
exercise and you will have less colds
in your flock.

the Indian or Buff Orpington ducks.
Which lay the whittier egg, the Indian
or Orpington? Which of the two
would you recommend? Please give
me an early answer because the party
might sell them TO someone else.
Ans.-There is no difference in the
color of the eggs of the two breeds
Of ducks. Occasionally one will lay
an egg a little bit dark. Some people
claim that ducks are not purebred

eggs. The Indian Runners are very

What Does w. F. Stevenson
Stand For2
political ADVERTISEMENT.

The slip Of a decimal point in last
weeks advertisement made the same
state that South Cardinals share of
the money wasted in rivers, creeks
and harbors was $4,000, 100000 when
il should have been $4,000, 100000, and
the statement should be so modified.
In his speeches he stands for cutting
off waste like this, and for spending
the money on Post Roads under wise
supervision and skillfull construction.
He stands against taxing the people
as a whole for the benefit of few rich
shin owners who use the Panama canal,
and would not have so voted If he had
been in congress and there he differs
from his opponent who voted against
Pre- dent Wilson's policy and tried to
fasten the burden of the maintenance
Of the canal on all the people while the
few rich ship owners engaged in the
coastwide trade used it free.
His speeches are certainly approved
by those who hear them.
The Chester Semi-Weekly News
says of his speech in Chester, July
25th:
".*This left the floor entirely to the
Cheraw candidate, w. +. Stevenson,
who was given a tremendous ovation.
The crowd certainly looked like it was
for him as he was followed closely
throughout his speech, which was over
an hour, and was vociferously ap-
plauded."
And the same paper said edtorially
on July 2Sth:
wv. +. Stevenson, candidate for Con-
gress from this District, made an i'm
pressive speech in the Court House
last Saturday. Mr.. Stevenson is man
of unusual ability and has had a great
deal of legislative experience and the
Fifth district have the opportunity to
elect a man to represent them in con-
gress who is altogether fearless when
it comes to doing and working for those
| things that make for the best inter-
| ests of the people generally. Mr.. Ste
venson. if elected, will represent his
district impartially with honor to him.
