ALL SAINTS DAY.

There comes day at fall of year
When folk think of their dead
Out in the still and misty weather,
Each there in his own bed.
The lover thinks of her so fair.
Of her and not another;
The widow, of her man out there,
The son, of his old mother.
And some to shop or market 90
To buy white rose and red,
Then take the way that well they
know,
And lay them on the dead.
But they who own garden-plot,
Some homely things to get,
Late phloX, or mint, or bergamot,
Or sprig of mignonette.
Out in the still and misty weather
The graves look worn and small;
The colorcd leaves stir in the grass
Like music at the fall.
Rose, phlox, and mignonette
They strew upon the clod-
How soon is DER lifc's little fret!
How safe to be with Godl

lineator.

A WARNING TO MANY.
Some Interesting Facts About Kidney
Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condi-
ton of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes Il chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless thick idncys are do
ing their work properly, the other or
gans cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results arc
sur to follow. According to health
statistics, Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the State of New
Yorl; alone. Therefore, it bchooves,
us to pay more attention to the health
of these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmcr's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence of
this preparation, in most cases, is
soon realized, according to sworn
statements and verived testimony of
those who have used their remedy.
If you feel that your kidneys re-
quire attention, and wish sample
bottle, write to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. Mention this pa
per, enclosct en- cents and they will
gladly forward it to you by Parcel
Post.
Swamp-R Root is sold by every drug

GEOGRAPHY AND HISTORY IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The European war, they tell us, will
change the map of the world. 1t will
also change and make history. Books
and maps will be written and made
anew. What is history now, and has
been for decades and even centuries.
will be changed and must necessarily
be rewritten.
The public school teacher would do
well to bear these facts in mind.
Much of the history taught this year
will, in all probability be out of place
or obsolete next year. AS to geog-
raphy, we have thought for years and
said so frequently, and the majority
of teachers agree with us, that as now
taught in the public schools is not
only Intellectual and inefficient, but
what is worse, waste of time and
absolutely useless for the most part.
The first geography, which gives the
young pupil general idea of the size,
shape, divisions, etc. of the earth is
necessary and all right, and should be
carefully taught but after that there
should be an elimination from the
courses every geography until towards
the close of the course, and not a great
deal of it even then. The idea of
putting physical geography in the
course so early is little short of fool
ishness, as we see it. This fine study,
which demands time and mature
thinking and discrimination to under
stand cannot be mastered by young
children, and should not be taught I'M
til the senior year in the High
School. AS to the other books, we
venture the assertion, that the details,
as attempted to be taught, and mem.
orized by the pupils, are not remem-
bered from one weeks end to the
other. The newspapers are the best
"teXt books" now as to geographical
instruction. The more we see and
longer we think of it the stronger
grows the conviction that geography,
as now taught is waste of time, and
should give place to something more
useful.

HOW THE FARMER CAN DETECT
THE HESSIAN FLY IN HIS
WHEAT FIELDS If 1T is PRES
ENT.


At this season of the year the Hes
sian fly begins to make its presence
known in the fields of young wheat.
The eggs are always laid on the sur
face of the leaves, and the maggots,
as soon as they hatch, make their way
down the leaf to a point just above the
juices of the yonug plant. There the
young maggots become embedded in
the tissue and begin to feed upon the
juices of the plant. Very few farmers
are able to detect the presence of the
Hessian fly in their fields until much
later in the season, after the plants
have become brown and dead. In the
meantime they are likely either to
mista Ike the pest for other insects that
may be present in abundance, or to
overlook it's presence entirely.
The occurrence of the pest may be
very easily detected by any farmer
provided he understands and observes
The difference between infested and I'M
infested plants. The leaves of an in
tested wheat plant are always broad,
er and have the appearance of being
shorter than those of an uninfested
plant, while the infested leaves are Of
much deeper green color, resemb-
ling in this respect the leaves of VOL
unteer oats. The rolled central leas,
which indicates the presence of the
stem, is always absent, and infested
plants stand much more erect in the
drill row and do not spread out and
cover the ground. 1t is by this erect
habit, broader leaves and deeper col
or that either an infested entire plant
or tiller of the same may be easily
detected.
In an uninfested plant the leaves
are more slender, of lighter green,
and do not stand as erect, but as the
tillers are thrown up they spread out
and cover the ground. Although they
have every appearance of being less
vigorous than the infested plant, as a
matter of fact they are much more
vigorous, while the central unfolding,
leaf is always present.
Where the darker green wheat
plants are excessively abundant or
predominant, if the soil is fertile it is
a good plan to pasture the fields.
lightly. The pasturing, however,
should be done only during dry wealth.
err and preferably by young or light
weight animals. The tramping of the
soil will probably crush many of the
maggots and thus facilitate infested
plants in throwing up fresh tillers
Surviving the winter, these uninfested
tillers will give the fields an increased
number or less reduced, all of which
is, of course, favorable to increased
production in the coming crop.

THE OPTIMISM OF THE PROCLA.
NATION.

President Wilson's Thanksgiving
Proclamation fully expresses the mind
of the American people in calling at
tention to the increased facilities for
international trade and the peculiar
opportunity now facing the country
on account of the European war.
Whatever may be the temporary en-
barrassments of business, the country
in the nature of things must be the
field and factory of Europe.
The cotton congestion is temporary
and orders are coming in thick and
fast for steel and other needs grow
ing out of the exigencies of war. We
have just gathered the largest wheat
harvest in the history of the country.
North and South America are united
as never before. We are at peace with
the world. Gradually we are emery
ing from the Mexican situation with
out loss of prestige at home or abroad.
The war in Europe has consolidated
American interests. If we can main
tain a position of sensible neutrality
there is no reason why the United
States should not enter upon it's gold
en- age of prosperity. An intelligent
optimism should prevail throughout
the land on the occasion of our ma
tional thanksgiving America faces a
great future Let US thank God, and
take courage.

THE TOY SHIP.

Childhood knows naught o. war.
There is no issue between the children
of the United States and Europe
Childhood is larger than nationality
Innocence is not determined by geog-
raphy. 1t is natural, therefore, that
the children of this country should
send ship loaded with toys and
Christmas joy, to the needy little
brothers and sisters on the other side
of the Atlantic. On the 10th of this
month the good ship Jason, freighted
with the good fruits of neutrality and
Christmas cheer, will sail for war
stricken Europe. Never in the history
of the world has such ship sailed the
seas. No vessel that ever crossed the
Spanish main laden with treasure was
so precious as is this Christmas ship.
loaded with children's toys. There is
sentiment involved which is of the
greatest significance. 1t is the greet
ing of one nation to another. 1t is
tangible expression of American
sympathy. May the waves and winds
be kind to the goodly ship, which,
while it takes toys to Europe, will
make millions of children happy in
this country, for it is still true that
sit IS more blessed to give than to re-
ceive."

AMERICA ON THE FIRING LINE.

America is in evidence in a con-
spicuous and large way in the Euro
pean war, not with shot and shell and
instruments of destruction, however,
but in ways of helpfulness to the
suffering. One day last week ship
load of $500 tons of food left New
York for the starving women and
children of Belgium. On November 10
the good ship Jason, will sail from
New York loaded to the waters edge
with toys for the Children's Christmas
celebra ton in the same ruined and
stricken country. American surgeons
and Red Cross nurses are following
the armies, ministering to the needs
of the wounded and the sick. These
are the kind of ministrations the
Country of Peace" is administering.
The war has furnished the opportun-
ity. The American people have re-
sponded as she always does, freely
and heartily.
On this subject the New York
World says:
st is hoped that today the Ameri-
can Commission in London may ship
to Belgium $500 tons of food, held up
until now by red tape. 1t will be less
than pound for each inhabitant of n
starving nation.
More than 100000 people lived in
Belgium. Some have died in fight;
some lie buried under their ruined
homes; some have been shot for de-
Tending their possessions against the
invader, or as hostages. Babes have
persisted for lack of milk, invalids
from hardships, the old from sorrow
and privation. Some have fallen iii
battle, or, with the courage of desper-
alton and of deadly hatred, still defend
their last acres. More than a million
are refugees in Holland, France, Eng
land. But there must still be 6,000,-
900 people in Belgium to face starva-
ton.
Belgium depended upon imported
food. 1t was good customer of
America. 1t carried stores for months,
but of its stored food much has been
taken for the German army or sent in
to Germany. There are not two weeks
supply for the remaining people. Rich
and poor face the common fate of
famine unless they are rescued.
I'm all modern history Europe has
seen $ ZEN no spectacle so awful as this, of
6,000,OOO people starving on the
shores of the sea that links their need
with every great harvest field of the
world. Something like it we have
known about, very far away, in India
IN famine years, or in China. For
them-far as they are and alien to
our speech and ways-there has been

THE SETTLING EUROPEAN
CAIJI.DRON

1t will be noted that of the causes
given, some are righteous, and others
ares elfish and unworthy. Why should
not Germany develop her commerce
to the utmost? Why should she not
enjoy the same privileges on the path
less highways of the ocean as Eng.
land?- Why should she not extend the
blessings of her civilization to dark
est Africa?
France, wrongly bereft of Alsce-
Lorraine, is right when she wants
them back. Bismarck, when he di-
vorced people from their kindred,
against their prayers and entreaties,
committed crime against the laws of
God and Nature that the empire of
his creation is now atoning for with
blood and tears.
Russia, likewise, is entitled to the
utmost freedom of access to the high
seas for her traffic.
England only is justified for her
part In the war by the belief that Ger
many, attaining her own objects,
would seek to destroy her long time
rival.
Thus into the witches cauldron now
seething in Europe have gone divine

venges, jealousies, envies, lust for
power, greed for territory, for trade,
for money, and the folk-hatreds of
centuries-all stirred and kept boiling

to divert their serfs nd subjects from
