MUST NOT TRIFLE WITH
U. S. FLAG
Patriotic Utterance by Former
German Ambassador Con-
corning Neutrals

lphia-Setting forth our
rights and duties as neutrals in the
present European war, Charlemagne
Tower, formed American ambassador
to Germany, in an address to the
University Of Pennsylvania siumni
here, declared that up to the present
moment the president Of the united
States has scrupulorslv guarded the
interests of The people in fulfilling
u ese obiie atoms to al concerned and
has admiralty maintained the dignity
Of the nation America, he contin-
used, "is powe efal enough to maintain
her indeg pendent attitude; she is too
great to be partisan
"We have our rights as neutrals
which are recaenized by international
law We Have. especially the right to
carry on unmolested our commerce
and trade and to deal alike with
either bellieerent, subject, of course,
as to the rules Of contraband Of war.
We deal fairly with each Of the ma
tions in respect to our neutrality in
the conflict, so we expect that they
win show US the same fairness in re-
gard to our commerce and trade
But above all else, there is one
thing that we must demand They
must let the American flag alone. It
must not be hoisted falsely on any
foreign ship. 1t must not be trifed
with by anyone.
Eve are facing situation fraught
tn difficulties, and we are likely to
see arise at any moment questions of
such delicacy as to tax the judgment
and the skill of our most experienced
statesmen to solve. An accident any,
where might give rise to storm of
feeling which in moment of uncon-
trolled impulse might lead to the
most deplorable results, quite against
the better judgment of the nation. 1t
is our most pressing duty now to pre-
vent such an occurrence, and by keep
ing before ourselves the standards of
life that we have set up for our guild
ance in America, to exert our in
fluence toward patience and forbear-
ance in order that justice may triumph
in the end.
I've are the only great power en-
tirely free from European obligations
of any kind. We have the respect of
nations involved in the war. How
gladly we should welcome them if
they turned to us and gave us the
opportunity to re-estabIish the peace
of the world"

Friday. lie had not been here in
.27 years ard at first ne was in doubt
whether he knew a single soul or not.
However, after looking around while
he found lots of his old friends. He
now lives at Montour, Idaho, and had
come back to Phillipsburg and Downs
to visit relatives. The Talley fam
lily located in Osborne in 1871. Wes
Talleys homestead is now the old mill
property just southwest of town. His
fathers homestead was just south of
Osborne. Wes Talley operated the
first threshing machine ever brought
to the county. He also hauled the
first county safe from Russell to Os-
borne, using three oxen. The safe
was used by the county officers in the
old stone court house. The Talleys
freighted extensively from Russell to
Osborne and from eastern points to
this place. None of the old timers
here knew Wes. When he was here
he was large man, weighing around
200 pounds. Now he tips the beam at
less than 160 pounds"

BIG BARN DESTROYED
BY FIRE
Overturned Lantern Cause of
Blaze, Causing Loss OF
$1,000

A lantern that fell from the loft
down the hay chute of the F. A. De
Clark barn in town Tuesday evening
was the cause Of fire that complete
ly destroyed that building and threat
ened the destruction of the DeClark
residence and the bungalow of A.
Wilkes directly to the north. Loss
$1,000; no Insurance.
The alalm was turned in soon after
10 O'Clock and tie two hose carts and
the chemical promptly responded, but
is was slow and heavy travelling a
long the Ell and vet streets for
the volur who pulled and pushed
the heavy rapFernalia, and the
barn was hing mass Of flames
when the a. aratus arrived on the
scene. NeiehBoFs responded prompt
IL and the three horses and a COW
which were stabbed in the barn, and
an automobile in the adjoining garage
were quickly removed to places Of
safety, and efforts were turned to
preventing the spread of the fire to
adjoining buildings. The barn was not
over 40 feet from the DeClark resi-
dence and the roof Of the kitchen was
scorched by the heat. Willing hands
poured water from buckets over the
roof and nipped every incipient blaze
that started. Similar precautions
were taken at the residences of A.
Wilkes and w. C. Langroise. The
escape of those buildings was narrow,
as the bseeze carried sparks and burn
ing pieces Of wood several blocks. A
cinder as large as the palm of mans
hand fell in the yard of Guy B.
Mains.
When the fire department arrived
quick work was made in subduing the
flames, in spite of the fact that the
water pressure was low.
The horses in the barn belonged to
George Johnson. He had reached
home late from work, and had to use
lantern in feeding the horses. While
throwing hay down from the loft, the
lantern was overtuned and fell down
the hay chute and the oil running out
quickly caught fire. It few minutes
the upper part OF the building was
mass of famesi3and beyond control.
Attention was at once turned to re-
moving the horses, COW and the De-
Clark automobile. The horses were
removed with difficulty Even when
they we're hitched a considerable dis
tance away they made frantic efforts
to break loose and return to the blaz-I
ing building, and rent the air with
their shrill neighing. Several sets Of
harness were burned and also new
buggy. A barrel of paint on the
lower floor was not injured, and
set of automobile springs were un-
harmed.

Hua5re3 RlsFels d corn % Acre.


A. NJ Johnson Of the Nyssa district
raised 1895 bush of corn on one
acre Of ground. AIR. johnson tells
how he did it: The ground on which
this corn was raised had been in cul-
tivation about six years. It was plow-
ed about two inches deep in the fall
and in the spring it was irrigated.
When the alfalfa had got a good
start it was plowed about eight to
ten inches deep and narrowed right
after the pillow. 1t was irrigated be-
fore planting. The corn was planted
on the sth day of May in hills 80
inches by AZ inches. After planting
it was narrowed so as to retain moist
ure. The corn was cultivated four
times with a two-horse cultivator.
The last cultivation was August 21.
When the ground was measured by
the committee and the corn was husk-
ed and weighed it was found to have
yielded 1926 bushels per acre.

TESTING SHOWS UP LOAFERS
No Progressive or Successful Dairy
man Will Keep a Cow on Which
He Does Not Make a Profit.

(By G. r. INGALLS,, Wisconsin Expert
ment Station.)
Cow testing shows the money max
ers. The best COWS in many herds are
returning profit of 500 or more
every year. 1t is possible to have every
COW kept do as well.
The loafers, the cows that consume
more than they return, are quickly
spotted and eliminated when the COW
test is used. No successful merchant
handles line Of goods on which he
loses money; likewise, no progressive
dairyman will milk COW on which he
does not make a profit. The milking
Of cows is straight business PROPOSE
ton and no farmer can afford to spend
his own time or pay high priced labor
to milk cows which do not pay for
their board. Let's make the 500 re.
turn per COW our standard
To build up profitable herd the
COW test is Indispensable. 1t enables
the dairyman to quickly get high

from only the best cows. In this con.

transmitting dairy quality and tenn

sending mature bulls to the block,
when they are just in their prime for
breeding purposes, is detrimental to
our dairy industry and should be
stopped.
Cow testing also pays because sur

CORRECT TIME FOR FEEDING
Better Results Secured by Giving Full
Feeds in Morning and Night
Mix Salt With Grain.

Many feeders seem to think that
the oftener they can coax the cows
to eat the better, but l believe that
better results may be obtained by
feeding full feeds in the morning and
at night and light feed of hay about
noon, says a writer in an exchange.
We feed silage, grain and hay in the
morning, as soon as the milking is
completed, light feed of hay at noon
to induce the COWS to walk directly to
their places when they come in from
the yard, and repeat the morning feed
at night, Immediately after milking
We have found it better not to feed
the COWS before milking time, and
more especially when silage is being
fed, as it Is likely to impart a bad
odor to the milk.
The amount of salt to feed depends
upon conditions. We feed more salt
than many dairymen, for the reason
that when feeding corn silage we have
difficulty in getting the COWS to drink
sufficient water, unless they have
plenty of salt.
1t may be one of the writer's no
lions, but there seems to be some
thing about the slightly acid condition
Of the silage that satisfies the cows
thirst, and for that reason we mix salt
with the grain feed. One ounce a day
Is fed to each COW in her grain ration,
and once week we give them some
I'm their hangers
We have water basins by the side
OF the cows, but the animals are
turned out every day in the year
while the stables are being cleaned
and aired out. Our yards are well
sheltered, and we seldom leave them
out more than three-quarters OF an
hour. They are turned out in groups
Of ten or twelve and made to stay
out until we are ready for them to
come to their places. On very cold
days they are not kept out long
enough to get chilled.
