KING ALBERT OF BELGIUM
Will Live In History As Great Figure OF
The War.

King Albert is the most popular Of
fcer IN the army. The soldiers in the
trenches say so, and they are not given
to fiattery just now.
Nor is it blind devotion to a myster-
iOus ''his majesty" about whom the
common people know little. King AL
bert is loved because he is known rath-
err than because he isn't.
The soldiers are unanimous that the
King is most democratic. He does not
wait for his men to come to him. He
goes to his men.
He tries to understand them; he goes
everywhere, unaccompanied, dresses in
one of the plainest of uniforms and adj
dresses his soldiers as comrades rat her
than subjects.
A war correspondent had this to
say of him:
In little village just across the
border here l saw today walking thru
the drizzle the man who will probably
come out of this war with the most
lasting reputation of any engaged in it
king Albert Of Belgium.
Fresh from the trenches, where he
had scorned death and patted his fight
ing soldiers on the shoulder, with the
cheers of his enthusiastic men in his
ears. his long rather English face wore
the expression of one v no had suffered
a great deal, and who was ennobled by
his suffering.
| have seen many pictures of Christ
on the cross. some done by masters
and in each | have seen about the eyes
an effort at just the same expression
which l caught in the eyes of the Bel
gian King.
There is something of patience in it
something of pity, much suffering -bu
nothing mean. One reads determine
ton, proud resentment, an absence OF
fear.'

Have we ever had a more safe or a
more sane President than Mr.. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson was elected a minority
president. But for the war In the
Republican party he would not have
chosen.
The country regarded him as quiet
scholar, he was known to be eminently
respectable and would be safe and
would not be led astray.
When Mr.. Bry8n was chosen secre-
tary of State it was pretty well agreed
that he would be The real President,
that he would guide the destinies of the
nation, would be the moving spirit,
while the theologian from Princeton
would be a figure head.
Time has proved that Mr.. Wilson has
been a man Of his own mead, that he
mas known business. politics or the
science of government, not in a theo-
retical, academic way but in practical
way and in a way pleasing to the mass
eS.
The grave and reverend senate, the
men who have been the real force in
administration for twenty and thirty
years. have been, to their unutterable
astonishment, put in the background.
Congress has been made to eat out
of the hand of this "schoolmaster"
who has shown himself to be a most
forceful, dominating and splendid ex-
ecutive. There has been no buster, no
bragadocia, no big sticks" TO bring
about results.
Just the action of sternly determin-
ed man who made study of the finan-
cial and commercial requirements of
the people, who respected the rights of
vested interests, who needed no un-
fair demands, and believing he was
right in his aims and purposes, propos-
ed to go, and did go ahead fearlessly.
The country has come to regard Wood
row Wilson great man, a man who
has shown great wisdom in his treat
ment of grave questions. He has
handled the Mexican and foreign war
situations with mastery adroltness, in
fact he is making our country admired,
honored and respected, abroad as well
at at home.

THE FOOT and
MOUTH DISEASE

There is not disease known that is
more highly communicable from one
subject to another than this one The
disease is transmitted by direct con-
tact, and through the medium of infect
ed food, hitter, watering places. stables,
cars and attendants. 1t possible that
the contagion may be carried short dis
tances in the air.
The period Of incubation, or the
time that elapses between exposure
and signs of the development of the
disease, usually is short, but may vary
from twentyfOur hours to twenty days.
Most cases develop within two or three
days after exposure.
Foot-and-mouth disease usually starts
with a chill. The animal remains by it
self, the back is arched, hair erect,
TANKS tucked up, and there is shivering
or twitching of the muscles. A sick
animal moves with reluctance, and
there is stiffness or marked lameness
in the gait. A thick, yellowish secre-
ton collects at the inner corners of the
eyes and about the edges of the nostrils.
More active symptoms of the disease
may be noticed by blisters which form
in the mouth, about the feet and on
the udder. The blisters vary in size
from that of pea to quarter of a
dollar, and are filled with a watery
fluid There is profuse slavering OF
the mouth, the saliva at first is normal
but later becomes thick and ropy.
This disease is not ordinarily fatal,
but causes very serious loss in the
checked milk flow, and prolonged, I'M
thrifty condition, and seriously diseas-
ed feet. The mouth is so sore that the
animal is unable to partake of solid
food and apparently loses all sense of
taste, and is generally of no value
thereafter. One attack Of the disease
does not confer immunity, as an animal
may have it several times.
Destruction of affected animals and
thorough disinfection, these are the
only methods that have ever been eff
fective in dealing with this disease.
Keep watchful eye for this disease
and work to prevent an outbreak in
your section. Only the most drastic
measure, of immediate slaughter, gives
any hope of eliminating the disease,
even rigid quarantining but partially
chrcking its spread, since the germs
may be carried by animals and even
pigeons to distance of scores or hum
dreds of miles.
The t-and-mouth disease is prac-
ticalIy unknown to American stock
raisers, therefore it has not been gen
orally recognized, which accounts for
the foothold it has gained; nevertheless
the foaming at the mouth and the ulcers
appearing on the udders and feet of
the animals attacked are unmistakable
signs to those aware of the presence of
the disease in the United States, and
the Secretary of Agriculture urged
the immediate report to him of any
suspected animals or herds. Indeed,
prompt action in such cases. even if
involving pecuniary loss to the farm
er or the shipper rises to the height of
patriotism, since the general spread of
the disease would be a tremendous
national calamity.

What IS AN EDITOR.

A little village boy was given the
stunt by his father to write an essay
on editor, and here is the result:
Don know how newspapers came
to be in the world. | don't think God
does for He amt got nothing to say
about them or an editor in the Bible
| think the editors is one of he miss
ing links you read of and stayed in the
flood and then came out and wrote the
thing up and has been here ever since.
don't think he ever died.
81 never saw dead one and never
heard of one being licked. Our paper
is mighty good one, but the editor
goes all winter and don't wear any
socks and paw amt paid his subscrip-
ton since the paper started. | asked
paw if that was why the editor had to
suck the juice out of snowballs in win
ter and go to bed when he had his shirt
wasn't in summer. And then paw took
me out to the woOdshed and licked be
awful hard. If the editor makes a
mistake folks say he ought to be hung,
but if doctor makes any mistakes he
buries them and the people dassent say
nothing because the doctors can read
and write Lasen.
''When the editor makes a mistake
there is lawsuit and swearing and a
big fuss: but if a doctor makes one
there is funeral, cut flowers and per
feet silence. A doctor can use a word
yard long without him or anybody
else knowing what it means: but if the
editor uses one he has to spell it. If
the doctor goes to see another man s
wife he charges for the visit.but if the
editor goes he gets a charge of buck
shot.
when doctor gets drunk it is a
case of being overcome by the heat,
and if he dies it is from heart, trouble;
when the editor gets drunk it's case
of too much booze, and if he dies its
the jimjams. Any old college can
make doctor; an editor has to be
born. Exchange.
