Back in January. relates the Harper
Sentinel. farmer living near Anthony
had q wheat field containing LOT acres
which he figured would hardly pay to
harvest. A business man in Anthony
had very fine cow; valued at probably
800. The two were talking one day
about conditions and the farmer of,ered
to trade the crop on the lot acres for
the COW. The Anthony nan took him
up AMI on going home End telling his
wife nearly had to back out Of it. She
commended that the cow was worth more
than the wheat would be. He finally
won her over by Offering to give her ali
the wheat over q twenty bushel aver
age. She took 1t a. q joke but this week
the Anthony man had the crop threshed
and It made rs bushels to the acre. The
farmer has not been heard from at this
writing.

war. We find even among German
born citizens Of Chicago . regretful
disposlti0n to distinguish between the
'sF'atherland' and the kaiser. This
will make no difference In the loyalty
Of German-Americans to their nation
In the fight for its existence. But It
reflects the long struggle Of German
democracy against the oppressive MILL
