PEACE TALK NOT WANTED

Philip Snowden, Labor member of
the British parliament, recently call
ed attention to the reports of growing
peace sentiment among the German
Social-Democrats, and asked if the
premier would encourage any move
ment ito bring the war to an early
and satisfactory conclusion" Prem
Ter Asquith declared that he had moth
ing to add to his previous declara-
lions that such discussion would serve
no good purpose at this time. The
rulers of the countries now at war
don't want peace, so we can easily i'm
agine how much effect Our Program"
that is before the membership as Ma
tional Referendum "B,' would have
on our own patriots.

STATE FARMS
BY CLYDE WRIGHT

! by Ol4 LIE w HUH
Agriculture has been beneficially
advanced by state colleges and eX-
perimenting farms. We are more JUS
titled in attempting to operate a prac-
teal farm by the state, then we are
in attempting the experimental farm.
1t is time for the state to establish a
farm upon which to apply the results
of successful experiments. If the
state rightly assumed to teach the
farmers how to farm, let the state set
the example for what it recommends.
Our agricultural colleges assume to
teach how to provide reliable seeds.
1t is not visionary for the state to es-
tablish practical farms to make use
of the graduates from the colleges
and the results of experimenting and
produce seeds for wheat corn, oats,
etc, and sell tested seeds to the farm
ers at cost Of production. In connec-
ton Herewith a state farm near a
large city, by erecting glass houses,
/ etc, can supply the city consumers
with reliable fresh vegetable foods di-
rect from under the eye of an inspec-
tor whom we are already paying for
such services.
/ Such farms should be located near
the best city market, in each county,
in order to supply the city later, when
glass-house and market garden farm
/ ing could be undertaken, and the city
consumer supplied without profits 60
/ ing to private owners. Such a farm
| is likely to be success because the
government, as an owner, has power
to rule and ability to finance its I'M
dertakings.
The best methods and the most
practical machinery is possible, and
if the political machinery is taken out
of the hands OF those who still main
/ tain a friendly attitude toward pri-
vate ownership, and put into the
hands of a party composed of the
| producing class, the system will then
be in the hands of its friends and will
succeed. No system will succeed in
the hands of its enemies.
| 1t is self-evident that it is the in
tention of capitalism to seize upon the
various agricultural processes at every
point where the farmer can be ex-
plotted; it is the intention of the So
cialist party to have the people seize
upon these processes at every point
where the capitalists opportunity APP
pears, and further to aid in bringing
the whole farming industry rapidly up
| to date.

TO BE FED ON AIR

Workers have been feeding on
hope" long enough. so a German
scientist has discovered a method OF
feeding the workers on air. 1t will
not reduce the high cost of living be.
cause the air is canned" Nitrogen
is taken from the air in great quanti-
ties by an electric process and turned
out with other compounds in the form
of nitrates. These nitrates are mixed
with other minerals such as potassium,
and phosphate and upon this mixture
yeast germs" are fed and bred in
great quantities and the worker sits
down to feed of canned protoplasm
or preserved amines.

A DANGEROUS CITIZEN

Surgeon General w. C. Gorgas,
draining Panama marshes and bring
ing health to the men working in a
climate that had decimated the
French, was a most estimable citizen.
Many people have been glad to honor
him for his great work. But Major
General w. C. Gorgas, proposing to
add thirteen years to the average of
human life by doubling the wages of
workmen, is in fair way to be de-
nounced as dangerous citizen.
Doubling the wages of workmen can
be done only by taking from the House
of Have and giving to the House Of
Want Destroying insect parasites is
popular; restraining human parasites
is dangerous.-S. C.

THE FOOL

They said, why, it's hopeless. You
never can do it!
A piece of rank folly, you'll certainly
rue it!
There's not a scintilla of sense in be-
ginning,
There's not the remotest chance of
winning!"
They knew all about it, you couldn't
deceive 'em,
But he was a Fool-and he wouldn't
believe 'em!
He fought for his folly-and swiftly
defeated
He heard the "T-told-you-sos" loudly
repeated.
They said, "You are through, you are
done, you are beaten!
You've ordered your crow-and it has
to be eaten;
Your lesson is writ in the plainest of
writing"
But he was Fool-and he kept right
on fighting
He hearkened to none of the talest
they would spin him;
He listened alone to the voice that
was in him;
He toiled with a courage that would
not diminish,
Through pain and through failure he
warred to the finish,
But when he had won, and their praise
wasn't needed,
They hailed him a hero-the Fool
who SUCCEEDED

A Big Kill

According to reports coming in
from hunting parties along the
Bath-Highland line, the killing of
deer has been unfortunately large.
The Board of Supervisors, at a
called meeting, extended the time
five DAYS, and hunters took the
field on Monday. 1t is stated that,
up to Wednesday evening, twelve
deer had been killed, all of them
does with the exception of one.
One can readily see how impossible
it is for this rare game to multiply
under such circumstances, and it
will not be surprising to hear that
the next legislature is called upon
to take the matter in hand.
The presence of nonresident
hunters and their dogs created re-
sentiment, it is said, among resi-
dents, and a number of dogs were
killed.
Not few have openly declared
in favor of absolute protection
with no open season-for a period
of FIVE or ten years.

The Facts in the Case

1t almost invariably happens
that, when diphtheria developes-
even though there be but a single
case exaggerated reports get cir.
culated, creating uneasiness and re-
sulting in harm to the community.
Owing to the dreadful nature of
the disease, especially in the days
before discovery and use of anti
toxine, this tendancy is excusable
to a large extent, but, knowing
that there is proneness to magnl-
fly and exaggerate actual conditions,
| it behooves the sober-minded and
intelligent to ascertain the truth
before growing hysterical and "pass-
ing on" every flying rumor.
The Recorder believes that moth
ing could be gained by suppress
ing facts, and would not be a par
ty to any such scheme where life
and health were involved, and has
given the above little "foreword"
before reporting on the situation in
Monterey.
About ten days ago. Mrs. Tom
SIaven developed a mild case of
diphtheria, by what means or from
what cause no one has any idea.
The family was at once quaran-
tined, anti toxine being administer
ed to the two children in the home.
Mrs. Slaven has recovered and no
other members of the family are i'll.
On Sunday morning, Miss Mabel
Bird, a pupil of the High School
and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
A. Bird of Valley Center, was
found to be victim of the same dis
ease, having had a deep cold for
several days.
She is a boarder in the home of
W. H. Matheny, and the same
steps were taken there as with the
Slaven family. Miss Bird is doing
well, and there are no other cases.
In view of the fact that this
is Thanksgiving week and the usual
holiday would be given after We'd
nesday, it was decided not to as
semble the children until Monday,
the measure being purely precau-
tionary. Some of the county chill
dren went home, but primarily to
spend Thanksgiving and not from
any panicky state of mind.
These are the facts, fully and &C
curately reported, so that parents
and friends may know the trnth |
and not be unduly anxious.
