ButOne
Civilized
Country

that is the United States of America.
Some people, with reasonable
schemes and murder in their hearts
would destroy that civilization if
they dared? The boosted high
civilization of Germany and Austria
would shame decent Hottentot,
and is such libel upon the gentle
playfulness of our own North
American Indian of the last century,
that is almost unkind to mention it.
All of the European countries ex-
ercise censorhips over the newspaper
corresr ondents, and the papers
themselves, in war times, solely
because the publication of the true
picture of war would result in the
summary execution of every crowned
head and military agreessor on that
continent.
If the newspaper correspondents
told the news, day by day, of the
awful hellishness of war, of the
sufferings beyond description, OF
the starving children and suffering
women, of things that no human
being has yet mastered enough
language to do real justice to, every
European government would crumble
and fall, and decency would triumph.
Right here in our own United
States, in defiance of the constitution
of the country, in defiance of every
right of free people, the army has
promulgated rules for war cores
pondents, in case of trouble, and
also decided that censor must
pass upon all dispatches.
These rules were promulgated
under Roosevelt and Taft, and
strengthened under Wilson, although

We didn't expect that they
would.
1t is not likely that person en-
joying the freedom of this country
only to use it as base from which
to libel its native-born people would
like such editorials. Those Germans
who persist in remaining Germans
at heart although earning their
living in America would have no
computations about betraying
American interests if it would pro-
fit German interests to have such a
thing done.
Men like Herman Ridder, pub
Usher of the New York Stats

go back to Germany and face Bel
gian bullets, spend their time
berating American sympathies, and
lying about the greatest country on
the face of the globe, and overpaid

America to be Americans, all honor

Germans who remain in Germany
as Germans, but nothing but con-
tempt for those who come here to
be traitors to this country.

Sparta VS.. Edgerton.

On Saturday night the local high
school debating teams will debate the
teams representing the Kenosha and
Sparta high schools. The affirmative
team goes to Kenosha, while the mega
tive team meets the Sparta affirmative
team here.
The teams winning these debates will
enter the finals for the state champion
ship. Because of the fact that the
judges are from Madison and must re-
turn on the late train, it will be neces-
sary to hold the debate at 7:15. The
debate will start promptly at that time.
This very valuable side of school life
is deserving of the patronage of the
entire community. The citizens should
lend liberal encouragement by being in
attendance.

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. T. F. PECK


The Department Of Agriculture
during the present year is es
'pecially emphasizing I he impor
lance Of community co operation
and the following from the Min
nesota Bulletin Farmers Clubs
ID d good suggestion for such or
ganization and will be suitable
for any community:
"A farmersNclnb is an organi-
zAtion OF the people in any com.
Inunity for the improvement of
themselves, their homes and
thir. community. 1t should in
cluie in its membership the
whole family men, women and
children. Two or more families
may constitute successfuifarm
ers' club, but it is best, where
possible, to include all the peo-
pie of the community. A rural
school district is assuitable ter
ritory to be coveredsby q farm
ers' club. Meetings are held in
the homes of the members, IN
town halls, or school houses.
There are many advantages IN
having the meetings at the
homes of the members Wherever
it is practical TO do SO. The ter
ritory shoula be small enough so
that all of1ts members can con-
veniently get together,
"A. good, active farmers club
wiz do for rural community
Just what good, active CONNER
cial club will do for village or
city, namely, it will tend to se-
cure the united influence of the
community to bring about any
desired improvement, and furth-
er, it will unite the community
to.oppose anything that is not for
ito best interests. We can con-
ceiveof no way in which a farm
ers' club can be detrimental to a
community, while we believe
that there are at least three ways
in which it may be helpful. ~
socially, % educationally, and
I'D financially
People are essentially social
bfings. They are not usually
hAppy,when isolated, and do not
develop properly in groups. Life
Ga the farm tends to keep people
TOD much to themselves. A farm
ers' club that will bring the PEG.
pie together monthly or semi
monthly furnishes q very desire
able change from the ordinary
routine Of farm LIE. Everyone
is interested in making the most
ofhimself and his life. An i'm
pprtant part of ones pleasure
and development comes from
meeting people and gaining the
ability t. mingle with them free
~, without which one cannot
appear at his best or get the
mist ont Of life, either socially
urina business way.
One needs to get away from
HE own work and home aud get
an opportunity to see it from a
different angle. As a rule, one
is better satisfied with his own
conditions when he sees how 9th
era live and do. A better ac-
quaintance with people usually
results In more tolerance for
their shortcomings. Many times,
when left to ourselves we begin
to think nnkindly Of our neigh
bors, and really believe they are
not what they should be; usually
acloser acquaintance and a clear
er knowledge Of their trials and
s.ruggle show US that they are
really better than we had thought
them to he. A community in
which people are interested in
each other, know each other, aud
are boosting for each other aud
for the community, is q much
better place in which to live than
6pmunity in which there is
distrust. As ! rule,
nasrf 0na anothnr IN.
The Lexington progress. (Lexington, Tenn.) 1884-current, 1914-03-20

its members. The community |
has more information than any |
one of it's farmers, and the club
meeting tends to give each mem
Der the benefit of the knowledge
and experience of every other
member.
Another valuable feature OF
the club and club programs is the
fact that the mem bers when call.
ed upon to speak or put on record
and to maintain their d gaity in.
the community they must live
up to that record. For example
Ii a farmer is asked to tell how
he has succeeded in raising the
best calves in the community,
he will certainly state the very
best method he knows0f raising
calves. After going on record as
standing for the best methods
known in calf-growing, her GER
iainly cannot consistently do less
than put into practice on his own
farm the SYSTEM he has advocat
led. He has established his own
STANDARD and must live up to it.
Club Work a Stimulant to
Study = Beng called upon to pre-
sent various topics atciub meet
ings stimulates study. No one
farm or community has in it all
that is good along al lines aud
being forced to study and look
iuto what is being done in other
places increases the general
knowledge Of the community
and of each individual therein.
Outside Talent in the Meeting
"A farmers club may increase
the general knowledge of It's
members by bringing in outside
talent. Business and professional
men from the nearby towns or
villages can be prevailed upon
to address the club. Speakers
from the University or College
of Agriculture and other public
institutions may be secured oc.
casionally to bring in outside
ideas and inspiration.
Community Problems "A dis
custom Of the various problem
of interest to the community al
ways tends to stimulate every
good, live citizen to desire better
things, and to make a greater
effort to secure them. Any one
who has confidence in people and
in his community believes that
almost all good things ale posi-
bic il the necessary effort and
determination are put forth to
secure them. If club can sue
coed in aronsing in its members
a desire and determination for
improvement in the community,
better schools, better roads, bet
ter homes, better live stock, bet
ter farms aud better people are
all possible.
Financial Conditions. -Busi-
ness is now Cone in this country
on a large scale. Millions of
dollars and thousands of people
are used 10 great enterprises. A
farmer usually deals with people
representing business interests
larger than his own. AS a rule,
in business enterprises he deals
with men who have the adytn.
tage, simply because the trans
action means more to the farmer
than to the other fellow with his
wider field. For example, a po- |
tat0 buyer in a community may |
buy potatoes from 200 farmers. |
What is 100 per cent of the farm.
ers business in potatoes repre-
sents one half Of one per cent. Of
the potato buyers business.
Consequently a deal that means
100 per cent. to the farmer means
one-half of one per cent. to the
potato buyer, and because the |
deal means very little to the
buyer and very much to the farm
