BRITISH POET SINGS
PRAISES OF LIEGE

Iondon.-The Chronicle publishes
the following poem entitled "Liege."
by William Watson
BetwiXt the foe and France was she.
France the immortal. France the free.
The foe like on vast living sea.
Drew nigh.
He dreamed that none his tide would
stay.
But when he bade her to make way,
she, through her cannon, answered
May,
Not l."
No tremor and no fear she showed;
She held the pass she barred the road
While Deaths unsleeping feet bestrods
The ground.
So long as deeds OF noblest worth
Are sung mid Joy and tears and mirth.
Her glory to the ends Of earth
Resound
Watched by q world that yearned to
aid
Lonely she stood but undismayed.
And pure.
Praised be her heroes proud her sons;
She threw her souls into the guns.
Her name shall with the loveliest ones
Endure.

Watson Calls On
America to Act

London.-A poem entitled ITO
the United States" by William
Watson, is published In the
Post. 1t follows:
Great, o majestic nation. great
is calm;
Great when old bounds dis
solve, to tower apart,
There beyond Europe's throes
and with a heart
At peace from northern pine
to southern palm.
Great in glad harvest time to
send the psalm
Rolling to heaven, nor be as
they who start
At mutter Of far cannon and
when the mart
Rocks to and fro delirious,
great Is calm.
But when a despot, swollen with
the desire
or boundless sway, forbears
not to lineage
Wars wolves on shieldless
youth and guardless age,
Greater, o nation, greater
then Is ire.
Doff, then, thy placid mien, un'
leash thy rage!
And scar and blast with thl
lips of fire.

Heavy production Of sugarcane to

Peru. Where 1t Is grown the land Is
level and planting is an easy matter
When the cane reaches the height of
two feet further attention in regard to
cultivation is said to be unnecessary,
and In from Is to "a weeks maturity
is reached, That the growth is luxu-
rious may be known from the fact
that an average crop Of 40 tops an
acre Is obtained, while so and even
70 tons is not uncommon. In other
sugargrowing countries, including
Cuba, 25 tons per acre are considered
a good average, according to sugar ex-
perts.

WISDOM OF JAPANESE IN WAR
They Were First to Recognize True
Value Of an Army Medical
Corps.

Washington The Japanese were
among the first to recognize the true
value of an army medical corps, &C.
cording to DR.. Louis Livingstone Sea
man OF New York, in a communication
to the National Geographic society
at Washington. Doctor Seaman has
made a world wde study of conta-
glous and epidemic diseases. He was
with the second imperial army Of
Japan at the front in Manchuria. and
Is the author Of many well-known
medical books and papers.
"The Japanese medical officer is
omnipresent," he says. You will find
him in countless places where in an
American or British army he has no
place In the Observation-Disclosures war

rear He was with the first screen

stituted thorough examination Of its
sanitary condition, and If contagion or
infection was found he quarantined
and placed a guard around the dan
gerous district. Notices were posted
so the approaching column was
warned. and no soldiers were billeted
where danger existed. Microscopic
blood tests were made in all fever
cases and archaeological experts,
fully equipped, formed part Of the
staff of every divisional headquarters
THE medical officer was also found
In camp, lecturing the men on santa
ton and the hundred and one details
of personal hygiene-how to cook, to
eat, and when not to drink, to battle,
and even to the direction Of the par

Lucid Directions.
The directions that an automobilist
got on Long Island, when he asked
small boy the way to Oyster Bay, are
almost worthy of place beside the
famous reply that lancelot CONDO
made to his father when the old man
inquired of him the way to Master
Jews. The boy looked thoughtful,
says the New York Evening Post, and
then replied:
Go straight up there, and you'll
pass where the watermelon field was
three years ago; then go on straight,
and you'll pass where the corn was
two years ago. Turn to your left, and
turn to your right after that, and then
turn to your right again, and you'll
pass the place where a man was
killed by an automobile last year. If
you'll go along about a mile, you'll
come to where Mr.. Jones lived before
he moved over 70 Port Washington;
then turn to your left and you'll see

The ups and down in the prices of
farm products do not so nearly repre-
sent the law Of supply and demand as
the game that is played by various mi
dlemen. The farmer is the victim in
almost every instance; for the price
usually is highest after farmers have
disposed Of their products. To make
the game more interesting farmers'
obligations are arranged to mature
about threshing time. This discharges
the bulk Of understandable grain upon
the market early in the season at
which time the price can easily be
depressed. If farmers were to CO.
operate, they could handle their own
grain. The amount they get skinned
out of each year would afford ample
working capital to organize a system
of distribution that would enable each
farmer to get the full value of all his
far mproducts.

but the endorsement of hundreds of

that he was thrown by Gov. Burke,
who appears to be the whole thing so
far as federal patronage is concerned.
Bruegger and Burke have had several
clashes I'VE patronage, with the latter

1t is to be hoped that the next leg.
islative assembly will adopt the SO.
called "Torrens system'' and dispense
with the "title trust" which makes
the transfer Of real property, under
our present system, so expensive and
unweildy. Moreover, the present sys-
tenn is far from being reliable. The
most that can be said for it is that
it makes good money for a%bstractors
and fat picking for lawyers. The Tor
rens system makes it as easy to sell
a town lot or a farm ais to sell a pair
of boots, with no question or after
math as to the validity Of the title.
The removal of this incubuc on trans
fer Of titles will save thousands of
dollars in needless fees, to say nothing
about expensive litigation that often
follows the present system of transfer
ing titles to real estate.

Never in the history of Ramsey
county was there q mo"e crying need
for farmers to give their seed careful
attention than at present. Many
fields are already so overgrown with
foul seeds that it is next to impossible
to raise Il good crop of any kind Of
grain on this land. There is now no
necessity for sowing anything but alb
solutely clean seed as there are SO
mnay good seed cleaning machines on
the market that can be purchased that
it is hardly short of criminal FOR any
farmer to SOW anything but absolutely
clean seen. GAS ye sow, SO shall ye
reap,' and the farmer who COWS wild

bound to reap a good harvest Of seeds
instead of grain when the harvest sen
son rolls around.
