 There are many and various kinds of robbers loose today in this land of plenty, but perhaps the two most un- popular of them are the soil rnbber and the community rubber-the farmer who robS his land of itS producing strength and the consumer who robs his community of Its dollars.
 The nigh grade. successful farmer is the one who increases rather than di- minishes the fertility of his land. Ev. cry year he changes his crop with that one object in view. He SubScribes for and reads very carefully the agricul. tural reports paying particular atten- ton to the reports on experiments made by advanced and progressive farmers.
 Why he dues this k plain. He knows very well that it would be useless to plant good seed in wUrnOut soil. It's his wish and intention to make a profit on his investment in seed and labor as well as in soil. and this, of course, could not be accomplished if the soil were not fruitful. ...

she moved. Yes, it was just out of

troubling herself most unnecessarily;
for the Episcopal was very much like
the Catholic Church, except that it
left it's members free to reject or ac-

The plan of i surprise attack has also
failed. We do not yet know that it was
even attempted; probably it was not.
What little is known goes TO show that
the British navy was ready before the
German navy.
Attack in detail or dispersal of forces
has failed: surprise has failed. Contrary
to German expectation, the British navy
is not only concentrated in home waters,
but has cruisers To spare for the trade
routes. The momentary superiority has
not been gained by Germany What she
has achieved Is "a permanent inferior.ty.

Apparently there has never been any
secret about Germany's proposed naval
strategy and campaign, in the event of
war with Great Britain. The Reichs

was in the earliest stages of its creation
declared that its plans were based on
two assumptions; first. that Great Brit

defeated in detail, because its naval
forces would be dispersed, or if concen-
trated the result would be Great Brit

The naval correspondent of a British
journal comments on these assumptions
as follows
The first hypothesis. then. is disper-
sion. Events have occurred otherwise.
Instead Of dispersion there is concentra-

unsound. The defeat OF the Russian

the outgrowth Of proved need. In old
days sea fighting was more or less of a
haphazard effort when the individual
eSsay was often the determining factor.
But as order was evolved out of chaos
in naval tactics, notably in the Dutch

increasing in size and power until we
come TO the battle fee, the concen-
trated nucleus, the moving base of the
whole organiza ton.
Some authorities Go not favor the
battle cruiser, but it has great fighting
qualities, can push home a reconnois-
sance, can hold up the laggards in a
chase and thus bring on a desired gen
eral action, and. owing to its superior
speed, IL can be ready as a fast wing of
the main fleet and furnish a ready
weapon for concentration on an enemy's
line where such additional weight might
determine victory. The functions of
other auxiliary ships are explained by
their names. but il must be kept in mind
that. other things being equal the bigger
the ship the better it is as an instru-
mentality of war. Moreover, for tactical
reasons il is not expedient to lengthen
unduiy the line of battle, and here again
exists the manifest advantage of concen-
trating offensive power, rs far as MA!

After all predictions to the contrary,
