TRUE FARM FACTS

BY Peter Radford, National Lee
turer, Farmers Educational ad Co.
Operative Union OF America.
Those who till the soil are the
choseu people of Gcd.
farming is IS old as the human
race and is yet ia its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
NO civilization has ever advanced
bcyoLd its agricultural develop
ment.
No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he
does of his home.
The development Of the farmer
himself must preccde the full de.
yelopment of the ground he tills.

FOR NEUTRALITY

The following editorial from the
Carson News breathes the right
spirit:
President Wilson has asked the
American people to talk and work
for peace. He IS right in his re-
quest and perhaps there is no other
mar living who can so realize the
position in which we are now plac-
ed. 1t is u duty as American
citizens to do all within our power
to aid him in holding our country
to a neutral position. An idle word
spoken, which may be carried
cross the seas, does just that
much to change friendship to hat
red and to place our country in a
position where the slightest slip
would bring the foreign war dogs
down upon us. In this family fight
across the seas America has no
part. This is the time for US to at.
tend strictly to our own business,
harvest our own crops and make
our own hay. 1t is true that the
American people are prore to have
a leaning toward one side of the
question or the other but we must
be impartial in our judgment and
wait for all the evidence to be pre-
sented before we bring in a YER
dict and when we do, let US file il
with ourselves in secrecy.
Japan has assured US that their
action in the far east will be for
their own protection and that they
will not be the aggressor in any
movement. They have come to us
in friendship and have asked us to
do the friendly act of caring TO,
their interests in a country where
they may soon be at war. In so
doing they have shown that they
trust us and have us written upon
their list Uf friends. This action
should be welcomed and we believe
is welcomed by the American peo-
Pile. Germany has done nothing tn
incur our d%ispleasure and we as
Americans respect the great coun-
try and respect its sons and
daughters who have crossed the
sea to make tneir home among us.
England by every tie should be
our steadfast friend. Therefore
we have friends on each side Of the
great conflict. We have nothing
to gain by the changing of the
map Of Europe and the countless
dead who will soon cucumber the
fieiie OF the foreign land will have
thouands Of relatives in America tc
mourn their passing.
At this time let. politics be FOR.
gotten, let our feelings be sup.
pressed and we, as Americans, dc
all within u power to support the
government at Washington anc
prevent our loved land from being
drawn into a conflict which car
only mean pain and suffering.

A doctors prescription for cold Is
to first take a quick acting laxative,
then mustard foot bath, which will
relieve most of the cold in the head.
If preferred take a general hot bath,
remaining in the water twenty min
nutes with a cold wet cloth tied on
ffthe head. But when this whole bath
las taken a blanket must be wrapped
rollund the body, or, better yet, soft

In Copenhagen the police have de-
creased the number of drunkards by
a novel plan of "tit-for-tat" If man
is found drunk in the streets he is
escorted home in a cab by poRte Of
ficer, and the cab fare is charged to
the publican who served the man with
liquor. Needless to say, publicans take
very good care that none shall drink
too much on their premises. In case
they should be called upon to pay the
cab bill.
