Varient of later introduction We need
not try to set up counter claim to saw
that women are humanity and releRate

That time has passed forever But We
can and should recognize the fact that
women are humanity exactly as much as
men, and have an equal interest and re-
sponsibility in human affairs.
Even those of use who do work. who do
earn our own living. do not yet appre
ciate or use the power that comes from
independence. We look jealousy at one

We think only Of our separate family
interest instead of our common human
interests
We do not even count up our wages
collectively and see what enormous sums
they represent when put together, ana

We do not study social conditions find

lies in this blind acceptance OF the old
talk about "woman's world' being the

thoroughly. and live up tots this newly
perceived fact that the whole great world
belongs 10 us as much as to anybody.

continually do Men fight by nature be-
cause they are males
Why should they? 1t is merely the old
brute instinct of sex-combat that makes
men fight; it is not a human performance
merely a male one.
Yet, so convinced are they of the
superior beauty and service of the art
of fighting that they would deny us a
share in the government because, for
sooth, we cannot fight!
Will some one please show the social
service of fighting? at defends the
country" they cry. Defends it against
what? Against whom? Against the
enemy" they answer.
What and who is this enemy?
"A foreign nation" they tell us
Never in the world
Never In all history did one nation at
tack another. 1t was always and only
the men.
A nation is composed of men and
women.
A nation does not fight-men fight
They have retarded civilization from
age to age by their manslaughtering;
strewing our green world with death
and agony; wasting the wealth of GEN
erations in noise and destruction.
The duty of women. when they wake
up rub their eyes, see that this world
belongs to them, too. and that II might
be much better managed-the first duty
Of women will be to stop the fighting.
In later ages, ages of peace and uni
yersal prosperity. we shall look hack and
laugh at this period. when women were
refused their rightful place in the world
because they were not the fighting sex.
This is what the women need 10 realize:
so long as men alone make the world as
bad as 1t is. woman alone cannot make
the home any better than II is.

In my fierce youth

Many foolish people are saying that
the present war calamity will increase the
materiallsm OF the world and destroy
its faith. Faith which can be so easily
destroyed iH not and never has been
faith. That the old theology has received
a body blow during the last six months
IL quite true. But that does not mean
the death OF religious sentiment
any more than the passing Of crinoline
or the hobble skirt meant the passing
OF fashion. Fashion stays ever In the
world. while modes change. Religion re-
mains ever. though creeds change.
The religious scholars. the physics and
the seers have long known that this war
must be.
In March. 1911. A. p. Slnnet gave a lee
ture to a large audience in Albermarie
street. London. He said he had received
a message from his invisible friends of
such an unusual nature that II seemed
desirable TO give IL wider publicity than
would result from being kept In his note
book The following is what he related:
There was n thickening force gather
ing on the lower astral plane which could
not fail 10 have terrible effects on the
physical plane when II burst. The Masters
were trying TO soften its effects. The
present German plan was not 20 annex
Holland, but 70 attack Belgium. There
would ultimately be a general war, in
which Germany, including Austria and
the Turks would be opposed to Great
Britain. Russia. France and italy.
Tho German emperor was the center OF
German hostility. He had some regard
for his English kinsmen, but was the
bitter enemy OF the race. Bismarck was
working on him, though he was not con-
soious OF this. Direct elemental influence
had accounted for some of his speeches

quarter OF its present amount. the height
OF the tide would be sixty-four times
four. or s56 feet
On the other hand. II the moon were
removed to twice its present distance.
the height of the tide would be reduced
20 one-elghth of four feet. or six inches,
while. with the lunar distance increased
four-fold. the tide would be only one-sixty-
fourth OF four feet. or three-quarters
OF an inch. in height.
The law underlying these things may
be stated thus: The tide-raislng force
varies inversely as the cube OF the dis
lance OF the body whose attraction pro
duces the tide.
Observe that II is the cube. and not the
square. OF the distance that is employed
in the calculations. This usually sur
prises persons who remember vaguely,
from their school days that the attrac-
ton of gravitation varies inversely as the
square OF the distance. This law OF I'm
verse squares" Is perfectly true when we
are dealing with the simple attraction
between two bodies considered as wholes
for then the attraction must be regarded
as focused az their centers OF gravity
But tidal force Is different effect: that
IL TO say, II represents the difference be-
tween the attraction upon a nearer and
farther point OF the same body. In
this case the inverse cube OF the distance
determines the force.
The total force OF the moons attraction
upon the earth is measured by the mass
Of the moon and the distance between
its center and the center OF the earth.
The mass always remains the same. but
the distance may vary II the distance
increases. or dimlnishes. the force be-
comes greater or less, as Newton demon

MT. Sinnet Is man OF wide culture and
large experience, and has, during the
greater part OF his life, been interested in
studying the profound phases of psychicaI

this lecture three years before the break

the most doubling Thomas to realize the
truth OF the words. There are stranger
things in heaven and earth than are
dreamed of in our philosophy"

OF a great ruling power in the universe

TO doubt God because war RACES on earth.

The state department of agriculture
performs only m noticeable function
it holds an annual state fair. Gov
eminent statistics are gathered, but
the state is w~oefully shy of valuable in
formation concerning her crops and
her farmers. The biggest public SER
vice SO far rendered has been accom-
plished by the South Dakota Improved
Livestock and Breeders Association,
which brings together more than 1000
breeders at its annual meetings. This
organization plans to build up a com.
prehensive crop-reporting bureau,
working in cooperation with the state
board of agriculture. James w. Will
son, director of the experiment station
at Brookings, is secretary of the asso-
citation.
The progress of the livestock in
dustry has been seriously hampered
in South Dakota by several bad laws,
among them one allowing quack veter-
inarians to practice in the state. But
the Better-Farming Association of
North Dakota is setting such a rafting
pace and making such a noise with it's
progress hat the South Dakota reac-
tionaries are beginning to trek to the
tall timber.
Both states are striving desperately
in the direction of prosperity on the
hoof, and with what few statistics
South Dakota is able to get together
she a show that she has swung into
the column of corr states and has es.
capped from the pioneering period of
wheat orgies.
Practically no commercial fertilizers
are being used, with the result that the
wheat yields have fallen in some sec
tons to five and six bushels to the acre
and the corn yields to less than nine
bushels. Of course, several successive
dry seasons have helped to pull down
yields. The better-farming mission
aries, who are urging the conservation
of straw stacks for humus and the util-
ization of more manure and fertilizers,
estimate that South Dakota soil is be-
ing robbed annually of POP, 900, 900
pounds of nitrogen. Potato production
is greatly on the increase; the Spear
fish Valley in the Black Hills has be-
almost exclusively a potato dis
trict.
The alfalfa enthusiasts are right be-
hind the potato growers, as potatoes
put the ground in fine shape for small
and alfalfa. The farmers east
of the Missouri are also making big
paintings of cowpeas, Canada field
peas and sweet clover. Canada field
peas resist drought admirably.
West of the river the farmers are
planting a great deal of the new dry
land crop, kaoliang, a Manchurian
small grain that seems to do much bet
ter than kafir or milo. One thousand
have reported to the college
the successful growing of this crop.
hen there is the new hardy alfalfa
that Prof. Hansen has brought from
Siberia and with which he has been
making remarkably successful expert
ments, using it as a sod crop and put
ting it in with a tobacco planter. In
his opinion this alfalfa will revolution.
ize farming throughout an immense
dryland area that is distinctly beyond
what have attempted to designate as
the Backbone of America.

WRITES OF STATE COLLEGE

In the last issue of the Country Gen.
tleman, the great farm paper publish.
ed at Philadelphia, Associate Editor
Currie, who was a Brookings visitor
last fall, has the following to say of
the work being done by the State Col
lege:
South Dakota is really beginning to
tackle the fundamental problem OF
putting her agriculture on a perman-
ent farming basis. 1t will take her a
good many years to match the stride
of Kansas and Nebraska in turning the
state into one big farming school cut
ting out the waste Of wheat orgies and
straw-stack burning.
l dropped off in South Dakota at a
little junction point about a hundred
miles west of Brookings and as |
looked round | saw straw stacks burn
ing on all sides. Not a great many
years ago you might have seen the
same thing commonly in Iowa and
Illinois. 1t is just one of many fea-
lures Of waste and slipshod farming
that the new forces at Brookings hope
to overcome, and it Is more than like
ly that a few years hence you will see
as little of this sort of thing in South
Dakota as you see to the south and
east of her cure-cropping region, or
owe the line in the s~outh-central IL
ties Of Minnesota.
South Dakota and North Dakota di-
vide their farming problems into two
distinct sectiOns-one set of problems
east Of the Missouri River and another
set west. In both states the better
farming program has gathered fine
Roadway.
North Dakota has had a good deal
the better of it in making Roadway be-
cause of the aid that has come from
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The agricul-
tural college at Fargo has the backing
of a great transcontinental railroad as
well as of the big milling interests of
the Twin Cities.
The little agricultural college at
B~rookings, S. d., on the other hand.
has had to fight its way up against ad-
verse political influences and a bitter
division of interest as to the most i'm
portant ends of agriculture to be serv-
ed-the dry-farming interests from
Pierre westward or the interests in
the more humid, if not exactly moist,
regions east of Aberdeen, Redfeld,
Huron and Mitchell. Even east of the
there has been no great I'M
animity, and the little college of agri-
has come in for a lot of buffet
ing that has sorely hampered it's efic-
iency.
A few years ago there were only six
agricultural students at Brookings. To-
day the college-including both
branches, engineering and agriculture
has an enrolment of 375, most of
the students taking the course in agri-
culture. In addition there are $50 in
the secondary school of agriculture at
to the college. Accommoda-
are taxed to the limit, and scores
of applications for enrolment will
to be turned down another year
unless the Legislature makes a more
generous allowance.
You will find no beaming statistic
ians waiting for you in South Dakota.
