A NATIONS RIGHT.

Professor Guglielmo, the noted Ital- ian historian predicts a worldwide temperance movement as an outcome of the great world war" He says that hereafter no nation can afford to consider the prosperity of distillers and brewers above the welfare of the people Has not the state" he in- quires, the right and the duty to ask each citizen to sacrifice his goods and his life to save his nation from a for eign aggression against its glory, pow CT, liberty or riches? And has it not the right to demand the renunciation of a few minutes of unhealthy, torpid joy to regenerate the citizens health and save himself and future gener- ations all the misfortunes of which drunkenness is the mother?"

THE FISH POND

Farmers will in the future appre- ciate the creeks, ponds, lakes and other bodies of water more than they have in the past. As population in- creases the natural features of the country are decimated and the coun- try, like the city, begins to assume an artificial scene. The ties that bind us closer to home, friends and the country of our childhood are the fish ing excursions, swimming hole" "coon hunts" and other memories than can never be forgotten.
 But where are we to fish, hunt and go in swimming when our neighbor's fields join our on all sides?
 The fish pond on the farm will do much to afford pleasure for the child ren and young people. It may be built without much expense, stocked with fish, the banks beautifed and a place made for picnics, fsh-frys and other social gatherings. This will be one of the most effective improve ments to keep the young people on the farm and the old people from losing their usefulness as producers.
 The farm as a home is as impor- tant as it is as place to make money. Let us make it a suitable place to raise children the future citizens of this country.

This from the Technical World:
 "Emperors, business men, social re- formers, are all agreed upon one thing: Alcoholic drinks work positive harm A single glass of beer lessens a mans efficiency ' per cent lmag- inc then what larger quantities of wine, gin or whisky will do. The up- to-date employer will not keep men who drink even in moderation. The secretary of the navy will not allow them on our warships. Every com mander in the field today in Europe is leading a sober army. Everywhere the brains of the world recognize that alcoholic liquors weaken both muscle and mind power"

PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

One of the prosaloon arguments in high license states is that the liquor traffic helps maintain the public schools. A Nebraskan newspaper fit tingly replies thus: Yes, that is true, but it does more than that. It main tains a school system of its own. While the little boys are being gath cred into the public schools where they are trained to read, to write and to think, the young men are being gathered into the private schools of the liquor traffic, the saloons, where they are trained to swear, to tell lewd stories and to drink.
 The public school takes the boy, builds up his intellect and trends him towards high character and good habits. The private school of the liquor traffic, the saloon, takes that boy when he is a little older, de- bauches his intellect and trends him toward low character and bad habits. '

Do not store apples from an or chard in which there is much bittef rot, even if the apples themselves seem perfectly clean. This applies especially to Jonathan and Grimes va rieties.
