frontiers. which must ever be de- tended. The defense needed the
 best man she had, and got them. A great German historian, Prof. Seeck, says that in Rome, out of every hundred thousand strong men, eighty thousand were slain. and that out of every hundred thousand weddings ninety to ninety-five thousand were left to survive. The Roman empire per ished for want of men, says the great English historian, Sir John Seeley; and when,the living foun- dations of empire thus decayed, all the rest came down with a crash. The descendants of the vigorous race that had conquered the whole world spent their.time shooting fol bread and games. !" The laws of heredity were not at fault; the vigorous, in fact, had died, and it was the rejected, those unfit!to be Roman soldiers, that stayed at home and became the Roman fathers of a nation whose course was run. -Dr. CIV. in the Youths Campan- ion.

LETTING PROSPERITY PAY

There is a price of war that is more important, more dreadful, more unjust, and that takes far longer to pay than any other, and 1t Is price also that has to be paid in the only wealth, which is life The mere question who wins the war has nothing to do with 1t. The questions. who was right or wrong, who began it, who gained or lost territory, who paid tribute to whom when peace was declared, how the taxes rose or fell, which industries prosper ed or which decayed all these questions are negligible when compared with the longest price of war, which all fighting nations have paid and must pay.
 All the prices of war fall most heavily upon the future. In Great Britain we still pay heavy taxes every year for the Boer War and other wars of the past, right and wrong, glorious and in- glorious. But the longest price of war is wholly paid by future generations, and hurts the future only. The people who will live in the years to come get none of the glory for which rulers wage

OATSASA PARTIAL SUBSTITUTE
 FOR COTTON

Among the reasons why, in the present emergency, oats shou q be grown on a much larger scale than heretofore are the following:
 l. Fall-sown oats, when prop erly fertilized. make better use of poor land than do most plants other than the legumes, or soi improving plants.
 2. This crop is one that our best farmers know how to grow proftably, and their.methods of growing it can easily be- adopted almost universally.
 3. Oats, unlike most grains, are not destroyed by weevils and grain moths and can be kept in definitely in good condition.
 1. The European war has greatly advanced the price of all grains, and the probably inability of many European nations to SOW normal amounts of food crops in 1915 is likely to result in contin-

THE LONGEST PRICE
 DE WAR

There is fact life called heredity, which plays a dreadful partlin determining the longest price of war. According to the laws of heredity, we are largely independent upon what our an cestors were for what we can be; consequently, the future of any race depends upon the quality of those who become its fathers and mothers. That is. true not only of human beings, but of all living things.
 Some have found in this theory an argument for war; they main tain that since life advances by struggle and survival, strong nations must crush weak ones if the future of mankind is to be strong. None of the champions of war who declare that peace corrodes and ruins nations have thought about the matter deeply enough to learn that the argu- ment they quote is the most fat al of all to their own horrible creed. For the truth is that war bring about reserved selection" in which the best are chosen to be killed. and the worst are pre- served to become the fathers of the future.
 Rome and France furnish illus trations of this awful truth. The greatest empire of the an- cient world was Rome. When she had conquered all her enem- ies she fell. Ever since then thinkers and historians have sought the reason. To-day there arc many who believe that it has been found. Rome was always fighting. She had far and wide

ued high prices of feed oats in the principal markets.
 ,. The need for oats to be fed on the farm next summer instead of high-priced corn is urgent now because of the disappointing yields of corn in some sections in 1914.
 6. A crop of oats invites the growing of cowpeas or other summer-growing 1 e g minous plants, which will result in in. creased fertility and larger yields of any crop on that land in 1916.
 7. The extensive sowing of fall oats throughout the South will do more than any other agri- cultural operation to increase the price of held.over cotton of the crop of 1914, by giving notice to consumers of cotton that the pro- duction of a large crop of cotton in 1915 is a physical impossiDil- ity.

;1OD BREEDING STOCK
 MARKET FOR FEED CROP
Timely Suggestions on Livestock To Arkansas Farmers For
 Year 1915

Let us remember that the best
 kay in the world to market the
 Eeed crops we are going to raise bext summer, is to have stock to consume them. The stock are Always a ready sale on the mar
 ket and when finished represent the value of the crops fed in a greatly condensed form. On lnalket day they will carry them FelVes to the railroad depot. When they go they leave most bt the fertilizing value of the leeds fed back on the farm where It belongs.
 But how about the stock to feed the crops to? Itcosts some- thing to hold and feed breeding stock but we can't afford to let fhem go off the place if there is FnyWay to hold them and it will bay to keep them in fair condit- lon and thus insure strong heal fhy offspring. Upon this off Fpring we depending for feeders. he biggest drawback to diversi, |ed iarming in Arkansas this Eear IS going to be the lack of good feeders. If you can't pos Flbiy keep the breeding stock you Il have to sell it to someone
 Who can.

ficiency."
That's diplomacy for you! The peo-
pie can understand that. Any Mutt can
see that the county is out of debt, if
he will just read the Tribune's expo
sition. ''Some funds have surplus
and some have a deficit. See?
Understand?
But suppose the Tribune be invited
to GO into detail and name the funds,
giving the balance in each of them,
showing those that have a surplus
and those that have deficit. Next
weah6khe Republican will publish the
official statement of the auditor of the
county. This gives this information,
and it shows that the county is more
than $126, 600 in debt. The only
funds in which there is a surplus are
funds like the library, which the gang
couldn't spend to save their lives.
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-02-05

Judging from the sound it is max
ing the Orofino Tribune should change
its name to the weakly Wall" 1t
sounds like dying calf. The pros
pect of starving to death makes the
gang rag froth at the mouth, and in
sist that there is movement on foot
to drive it out of business. What a
shame! The people should be
ashamed of themselves. The idea of
voting the gang out of Office and thus
do the gang organ such an injustice.
And think how awful the Tribune is
being treated. Why, there is the ten
cents line for proceedings, and all
the job work at any old price, and
besides the old bird that pretends to
edit the paper for the gang was get
ting side issue out of the probate
office of over $50 month. Their
there were all the legal notices from
the sheriff's office, and the probate
notices, and all the other notices tht
gang could manage to run at Ten
CENTS per line, with an occasiona
dollar a line for good measure. NJ
wonder it makes the Tribune howl
this being suddenly weaned from s.
juicy feast Of political pie. VIII
would't howl?
