sail unmolested on the sea. 1t closes
with a demand for a disavowal of the
wanton act of sinking the Lusitania
and offer of reparation for the
American lives lost and declares that
repetition by the commanders of
German naval vessels of acts in con-
travention of these rights must be
regarded by the government of the
United States when they affect
American citizens as deliberately I'M
friendly"
The president certainly could not
stand for less and it is probably wise
he did not stand for more in this
note. He was certainly justified in
declaring that Germany had already
shown itself deliberately unfriendly
and demanding satisfaction at once.
Instead he has put upon Germany the
burden OF declaring unfriendliness
and the initiation of hostilities. There
is grave reason to expect Germany
will do this. If it fails to do it it
must abandon every position it has
taken so far in the negotiation re-
garding the dastardly murder of
American citizens. German senti-
ment is not likely to allow the latter
act to be done. If that be true the
American government must sever
diplomatic relations with Germany
and adopt desperate measures.
Serious as the results of such a
course may be we believe that the
great majority of the American peo-
pie support the government in its
action and that this nation is ready
to fight for the freedom of the sea
and the protection of American lives
in all parts of the world. To do this
would place America in the front
rank of the nations of the world, to
fail to do it would make us an object
of scorn before all civilization. There
can be no watchful waiting, we must
prepare ourselves for an unfavorab1e
answer from the war crazed kaiser
and his people and acquit ourselves
like men.

Third Note To Germany.

President Wilson has sent the
third and we trust the last note to
Germany regarding the murder of
Americans on the Lusitania and the
violation of international law in its
attacks upon neutral ships and citi-
zens. The note is the frmest and
therefore the best that has been sent
to that country. 1t stands unequiv
ocally for the observance of the prin-
ciples of international law, a strict
observance of the rights of neutrals,
insistence upon the rights of citizens
of the United States regardless of
circumstances, the freedom of the
sea and refuses to consider Ger
many's proposal to designate certain
vessels that shall have the right to-

J. Percival, a Virginia democrat
and an efficient clerk in the Census
Bureau, has been fired because he
criticised the waste and ineficiency
of the political management of the
department in a letter to a personal
friend. This friend left the letter
lying on his desk and a politician
who called during the friends alb
sence saw the letter, read it, stole it
and sent it to the head of the bureau.
Director Rogers found he had no
legal ground for action against Per-
cival so he fired him because he con-
sidered his private letter to friend
essentially treason" Meanwhile
the sway of the politician prevails in
the bureau and the people are paying
the freight.

Editor Southwick of the Free Press
throws his hat into the ring of YER
mont editorial liars with a story of
cucumber vines growing so fast the
young cucumbers are all worn out by
dragging along the ground. That
suggests economic waste and some
one should invent an air brake that
will stop the vines so suddenly that
they will throw all the four inch Gu
cumbers into the pickle jar down cell
lar. This of course would be taken
with such a grain of salt" they
would be automatically preserved.

The discussion of some method of
giving the young men of America suf-
ficent military training to enable this
country to mobilize a large army in
case of necessity recalls the fact that
Hon. Alexander Dunnett of this place
advocated such training for students
in the public schools when he was a
candidate for congress. 1t would ap-
pear that Mr.. Dunnett simply saw the
necessities of this country a little
quicker than those in power at the
time.

The owners of the steamer East
land that capsized at Chicago last
Saturday had been operating the boat
to make what money they could with
it. The terrible disaster that drown
ed 1, 900 or more people will cost the
company more than the steamer ever
earned and has caused loss of lives
that can never be compensated. From
this distance it looks as though the
authorities hated to interfere with
the money making of the company
and both company and authorities
are guilty Of criminal negligence.

Value of Pure Bred sires.

When we issued our special edition
on the pure bred cattle of this county
we spoke of the value of a pure bred
sire in a grade herd of dairy cows.
We find the following description of
the value of a pure bred sire written
by WILDER j. Fraser, professor of
dairy farming in the University of
Illinois, and publish it for considera-
ton by Caledonia county farmers. He
said
THE initial cost of pure bred sire
may seem great, but it must be re-
membered that he represents one
half of all the qualities, characteris-
tics, capacity for milk production and
everything transmitted to the calves
which are to constitute the succeed
ing herd.
The pure bred sire is certain to
transmit more of his characteristics
to the offspring than will grade cows,
and no more economical investment
can be made by a dairyman than to
spend time and money in obtaining
the best enc possible. Frequently
the penny is held so close to the eye
that it is impossible to see the dollar
a little farther off, and this is just
what a man is doing who has dairy
herd and thinks he is economizing by
buying a poor or even ordinary sire.
One may have reason to say that he
cannot afford to pay a big price for
fine COW, but the same argument does
not apply to the purchase of an i'm
proved bull, because the sire's in
fuence spreads farther and faster
than the cows.
From generation to generation the
succession of we'll selected sires goes
on increasing and intensifying the
improvement in the offspring of COM
mon COWS until within a few years
they have practically transformed the
whole herd at slight expense and
more than doubled its profit.
Every man who has had any ex-
perience in the use of a good pure
bred sire from high producing dams
will agree that he was of peculiar val
ue and great economy in building up
the dairy herd and that the invest
ment paid, and that most literally.
The evidence is seen in contrasting
heifers from good, pure bred sires
with heifers lacking such percentage,
and in the increase of the milk pro-
duction.
The average production in six
dairy herds that have been tested was
IFS pounds of butter fat each year
where no attention had been paid to
grading up the herds by the use of
pure bred sires, while, in the same
locality, six other herds, in which
pure bred sires had been used, aver
aged 265 pounds of butter fat per
year. The COWS in the ungraded
herds averaged $40 profit per year,
while the COWS in the graded herds
averaged S24.S0 profit. Such a diff
ference in profit is sufficient evidence
of the value of a good, pure bred sire.
On this basis a herd of forty cows .
from good sires viii return an actual
profit every year of 1856 more than
a herd with which scrub sires have
been used"
With such universal testimony as
to the value of improved sires and
the excellent opportunity Caledonia
county farmers have of securing pure
bred sires from rich butter produc-
ing ancestors the farmers in this sec :
ton should show a marked improve
dustry in this section.

The express companies have con-
WINGED the Interstate Commerce Com
mission that they are operating at a
loss under the rates fixed by the
commission and it has allowed a
slight increase to them. This will
strike most people as fair as we can
not do without the express companies
nor can we expect them to do bust
ness at a loss.
