WAR UPON PAIN.

Pain is visitor to every home and.
usually it comes Unexpectedly. But
you are prepared for every emergency
if you keep a small bottle of Sloan's
Liniment handy. It is the greatest
pain killer ever discovered. Simply
laid on the skin-no rubbing requir-
edit drives the pain away. It is
really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal.
writes: "Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, I came home with my
neck so stiff that / couldn't turn. I
applied Sloan's Liniment freely and
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis
appeared, four hours after the second
application was as good as new"

RepIanting Wheat Fields

In local areas Of Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Nebraska, the Hessian
fly, during the past fortnight, has
been found in large numbers in the
wheat fields, according 10 reports re-
ceived by the entomologists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul'
ture. Some farmers in southern Kan
sas and Oklahoma have become
alarmed to the extent Of replantin G
their fields to corn. Whether the
wheat is infested 10 a degree 10 war
rant abandonment is difficult 10 Judge.
However, it has been the experience
Of many farmers that sometimes wheat
which has apparently been killed By
the Hessian fly will retiller, or few
tillers which are not infested will de
velop into especially large heads ant

yield 8, 10 or perhaps 20 bushels Of
wheat. For this reason the farmer
should be very careful about plowing
uLder his crop, especially at this early
date. II the crop continues TO fail to
show progres for another 10 days,
then it will be time TO plant kafr or
corn, but only provided the field is
comparatively free from chinch bugs.
The experience Of farmers in GER
tain localities where wheat has been
killed in other years by the Hessian
fly or freezes, and replanted to corn,
is, that such corn vas often destroyed
BY chinch bugs. Therefore, il the
farmer thinks his wheat will not be
worth harvesting, and desires to re-
plant it to corn or kafr, he should
investigate very carefully TO learn to
what extent the field is infested with
chinch bugs. II chinch bugs are
not present in large numbers and the
field is planted TO corn, care must be
taken that all Of the wheat plants are
killed in order to destroy the Hessian
fly that are on these plants. The best
method for handling field previously
destroyed BY the fly appears 10 be that
Of pasturing closely, and then blowing
under the stubble. However, the
plan Of crop rotation may be such as
to make it more feasible to pillow un'
der the heavily infested wheat fol
green manure, preparing the field FOL
seeding this fall.
Another method OF meeting the
situation is TO pillow under the infested
wheat and plant the field 10 cowpeasD
Now is the time for farmers to orga'
nize to clean up the Hessian fly,
After organization all stubble should
be burned and plowed under before
the middle Of July, and all volunteel
wheat narrowed out. Wheat may
then be sowed again this fall after the
ly-iree date.

trophies, rather than seeking Of redress
for the calamity, will propably occupy
the attention Of the American govern
ment. That a grave responsibility lies
upon the British for exposing noncom-
batants to the perils inseparable from
such a warfare as the Germans are
prosecuting would seem to be self
evident. Americans are indignant at
the loss not only Of American lives but
Of the lives OF other non.combatantS as
well. The blame must be divided.
1t cannot be successfully evaded by
either Of the two beligetant powers
most vitality concerned.
America may minimize the danger
by forbidding passenger steamers to
leave American ports when they carry
munitions Of war. That would appear
to be a precaution clearly within the
rights Of this country and one whose
necessity is apparent from the lesson
the Lusitania. Certainly degree OF
dereliction must attach 10 the sending
forth Of a great liner with a precious
cargo Of human lives above a hold
loaded with war supplies. II one OF
the belligerents does not respect the
ordinary humanities and the other does
not afford adequate protection, the
neutral nations must adjust their action
to meet the conditions precipitaled by
war in which all the humanities and
and all international Law have been set
aside. kansas City Journal.

"CaDita! out Of Passion"

Sound and oi unimpeachable truth
are these words spoken by President
Wilson in Philadelphia the other day
in the course OF a notable speech to
several thousands Of newly naturalized
American citizens: You do not love
humanity il you seek TO divide human
ity into jealous camps. Humanity can
be welded together only by love, By
sympathy, BY justice, not by jealousy
and hatred. l am sorry for the man
who trys to make personal capital cap
ital out Of the passions Of bis fellow
men. He has lost the touch and ideal
Of America, for America was created
to unite mankind by those passion;
which lift and not by the passions
which separate and debate"
Here is another example Of the
presidents id:alism which is wholly in
compatible with his administrative
record. No stronger words could b,
uttered in delileation Of great funda
mental truth than these, yet it is de
plorable that the president does no

take them home 10 himself instead oI
merely Offering them as forensic
tribute to ideal Americanism. The
most dangerous tendency in this coun'
try today is this very thing Of making
personal capital out Of the passions ol
groups OF men. While President
Wilson has not by his own public utter
ances encouraged this sentiment oI
social anarchy, he has countenanced
it in many Of his appointees and in
some OF his cabinet officers. The in
citing OF hate has been actively en-
couraged by administrative agents,
often in their official capacity. i am
sorry for the man who seeks 10 make
personal capital out Of the passions oi
his fellow men," says the president.
Has he any idea Of sending a marked
copy Of these words 10 Chairman Frank
Walsh Of the commission on industrial
relations? Will he call the especial
attention Of Messrs. Garrison, Lane,
Burleson, Rcdfeld and Wilson to them?
What a pity that the noble senti'
ments expressed by the head Of the
nation in Philadelphia have not a
place in the administrative policy a,
Washington, where passion and preju'
dice have done their work in dividing
the American populace and debasing
the American spirit. This wholesome
tonic has been kept too long in stock,
While it should have been admins
tered to every appointee upon the
day he took office under President
Wilson, it was reserved 10 be given
out to a meeting OF new American:
10 Philadelphia. The president is un'
doubtedly a man Of lofty personal pa
triotism, Of fine ideals and beautiful
dreams, But he has surrounded him
self with men Of a different type who
are nuliiYing the lofty efforts Of thei
chief in the direction Of true Ameri
canism. R. C.. Journal.

Harrow Corn 10 Get Rid Of Weeds

The College Of Agriculture has
recently received a number OF inquiries
from Missouri farmers similar to the
following:
Il expect TO harrow my corn this
spring. When should the first harrow
ing be done and how long can l cen
tinue it?"
In answering this question, c. B.
Hutchison Of the Department OF Farm
Crops says: The value OF the har-
row in culttyating corn depends largely
upon the season and TO some degree
upon the soil. In normal season the
cultivation OF corn should begin by
narrowing lightly before the corn
comes up, and at least once or twice
before the corn is large enough to
cultivate with a cultivator. This is an
especially good practice if planting has
been followed by a rain that has packed
the soil and caused a crust to form
thru which the plants have difficulty
in breaking. This early narrowing
will also conserve moisture By stirring
the top layer Of soil and forming a
mulch which is important in a dry
season.
"On wet land and in wet seasons
the weeds and grass are apt TO be too
far advanced for harrow to do much
good by the time one can get on the
field. Under these conditions deep
er-running implement that will stir the
soil more should be used.
Weeds are more easily killed a:
they are just coming thru the sol
Narrowing at this time is much more
efficient in destroying weeds thar
deeper civilizations later in the season
The most important function Of corr
cultivation is the control Of weeds ant
the field should b. c'eIned out jus
as early as possible.
IAN ordinary spike tooth harros
with the teeth san,ing sigh ly back
ward, or a weeder, are best adapted
for this purpose. Ii conditions vii

Responsibility Divided

American sympathy, for which
Germany has put forth such strenuous
claims since the war began, will not
be lostered by the report Of wild re-
joicings throughout the Fatherland
over the sinking Of the Lusitania, il
view Of the awful loss Of life attending
it. Nor will the spectacle Of the
school children Of Germany being given
a holiday while the mangled bodies Of
American children were being drawn
from the sea tend TO make Americans
feel more tolerant in their judgment Of
the appalling affair.
Two facts, however, stand out quite
clearly: first, that the destruction Of a
vessel carrying munitions oil war was
within the legal if not the moral rights
Of the Germans under International law;
second, that under both the legal and
moral obligations Of International law,
OF civilization and common humanity,
ample opportunity should have been
given for the passengers 10 escape the
consequences Of the peril to which The
ship owner, the British admiralty and
their own imprudence had exposed
them.
A large measure Of responsibility
for the disaster must be laid at the
door Of the English naval authorities,
who, in the face OF a threat fulfilled
with almost uncanny ease, failed tc
provide the slightest semblence OF pro
lection. On the other hand, so far as
the facts have come to light, there wa
no display OF that chivalry which il
other instances characterized the atti
tude Of the German commanders. Nc
effort was made by the assailants Il
save a single human being. No warn
ing was given Of the attack about to b,
made. The periscope Of the sub
marine suddenly appeared above th

The Mail Order Ten Commandments

The following ten commandments
are offered for the guidance OF cata-
logue house patrons'
/. You shall sell your farm pro.
ducts for cash whenever you can, but
not to US. We do not buy from you,
2. You shall believe our statements
and buy all you need from us, because
we want TO be good TO you, although
we are not personally acquainted with
you.
3. You shall send the money in
advance 10 give US chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money; meanwhile you will have to
wait patiently for weeks, as that is our
business method.
a. You shall apply to your nearest
city to aid you in building good roads
so that you can conveniently get the
goods from ;he depot, for we do not
build country roads.
5 You shall buy church bells and
church fixtures from us and toward the
money in advance for this is our bust
ness method, and you shall collect
from the business men in your city as
much money as you can for the bene-
fit Of the churches, for it is against our

churches.
s. You shall buy your tools from
US and be your own mechanic in order
to drive the mechanics from your vi
cinity, for We wish it so.
7. You shall induce your neigh

have room for more meney-the less
money you have in your community
the sooner We can put your local
merchant out Of business and charge
you any price we please.
8. You shall look often at the
beautiful pictures in our catalogue so
that your wishes will increase and so
you will send in big orders although

changing ideals which govern the
minds and actions Of peoples.
One hundred years ago Bismarck was
born. It is astonishing how few men
there are in recorded history whose
genius and constructive ability have
influenced the world in all succeeding
centuries.
Caesar kept Rome alive four hun
dred years and until Roman law had
become the groundwork Of the juriS'
prudence Of all modern nations.
Washington won the independence ol
his country, and then as president OF
Of the convention which framed the
Constitution, by his influence in Sc
curing its adoption by the states and
his wisdom in the inauguration and
practical working Of the new govern
ment, created and placed upon endur-
ing foundations the Republic Of the
United States. It is an axiom that
the influence Of these institutions has
been worldwide.
Napoleon represented the military
energies Of the French Revolution.
The greatest soldier Of the ages, he
shattered the faith OF Europe in the
divine right Of kings and placing
manikins upon the emptied thrones
dissipated by the sunlight Of publicity
the ideas Of royal anointment from
Heaven.
Bismarck, by his diplomacy and his
victorious policy Of blood and iron, or
ganized military autocracy as the dom
mating power Of the Twentieth Cen
tury and apparently checked and rem
dered helpless the fast penetrating
liberal ideas Of the French Revolution.
But these ideas made France a re-
public, with president without
authority, and changed the autocratic
and oligarchic government Of George
III to the responsive democracy Of
George V.
So when King Edward VII, prince
Of good fellows and most tactful q
diplomats, and Delcasse, the French
foreign minister, came together they
settled the threatening war over Mar
chand and Fashoda by the discovery
that centuries OF bitter enmity between
between the French and the English
had passed away by both peoples hav'
ing evoluted into the same ideals and
the same responsibilities for democratic
development and social justice. Sc
keenly did the German foreign Office
which had hoped for war between the
two countries, resent this change tha

Too Much Loose Talk


The country has not had time to re-
cover in large measure from its first
flush OF resentment over she Lusirania
tragedy and there are many gratifying
evidences that most Of the hot heads
and reckless chauvinists who rushed
into the limelight with their unsolici'
ted opinions have cooled off, We
are in the habit OF accusing the Latin
countries Of monoplizing the mer-
curial tempermament- being super-
sentative and tnhamable. But we
know that the same trait exists in our
own people TO large extent, and this
fact was amply demonstrated in the
first few days after the sinking Of the
Cunard steamship. Some Of these ex-
cited persons even clamored for war
as though war was the only thing left
for US in maintaining our national
honor.
While it must be gratifying TO pres
ident Wilson to have so many eviden-
ces ot popular confidence and support,
he must be somewhat embarrassed by
the furious bombardment OF mis- Office
with Incorporate letters and kilograms
from his fellow Americans. II he
should attempt to read all these mes
sages he would have little time for clear
reasoning or for calmly considering the
the advice Of men specially qualified
to help him. 1t is imprudent, not to
say absurd, Tor the people generally to
assume either to inform the president
Of facts or provide him with conClu'
sions at such time. He is from the
very nature Of things, in possession Of
far more important data than the gen
eral public. President Wilson does
not need popular advice. What he
need and what should be accorded
him is the qui,e patience oil the people
until he shall have fully formulated
his policies and decided upon a def
mite plan Of action,
Former President TAFT, in urging
that the people refrain from hectic
talk Of war, said this: But we must
bear in mind that if we have war, il
is the people who must pay with lives
and money the cost Of it, and there
fore they should not be hurried into
the sacrifice until it is clear that they
wish it." How often has it been said
that the present struggle in Europe
was not the peoples war;; that il
was war among rulers for their owr
selfish motives. Many gallons Of ink
have been spilled in sympathy with
the people OF Germany and France
because they were driven" to fight
Yet here in America many individual:
have been guilty Of almost demand
ing Of our president that he 60 to wa
to preserve the honor Of America,
Notwithstanding that as MI. Taft said
it is the people who pay with live
and money. and the people have no
been consulted. II America want
war with Germany the surest way t;
get it would Je TO force jingoism up
on the president. But the people dC
not want war. Far from it. No
one real American in a thousand de
sires such a resort at this time. Ther
why not let the president alone
Give him time and opportunity 10 ac
soberly and sensi. ly. There is entire
ly too much fiery talk among thosr
who wouldn't fight if called upon t
