Judge Lowder was in from his
farm northeast of town on Friday
and says there is lots Of good wheat
in this county. The Judge believes
he has as fine a piece of wheat as he
has seen, not excepting the wheat on
the Ferguson farm which it is estima-
ted will make about Is bushels to the
acre. While there are some bugs in
the wheat, he is of the opinion that
the crop has not been greatly DANA
ged, as the young chinch bugs have
not been hatched, and the young bugs
are supposed to do the damage. Rich

The United States is not satisfied
with the proposition of the German
government to settle the Arabic nat
ter thru arbitration. This country
wants a diSavowal of the act of tor
redoing the Arabic, after which we
are willing to settle the matter of in
demnity by arbitration. Germany
claims that the submarine fired on the
Arabic only after the commander
feared that the Arabic was about to
ram her. Washington claims to have
evidence that the Arabic was at right
angles to the submarine when the
shot was fired, and did not even know
of the presence of the submarine be-
cause the British steamer Dunsley was
between. The Arabic incident is be-
coming exceedingly critical. Germany
has offered to fire on no more steam
ers without first giving them warn
ing, unless such vessels attempt to
run away or to attack her submarines.
1t is hoped that Germany is sincere in
making this proposition. 1t might
be we'll to take Germany at her word
and if she is not sincere, her true atti-
tude towards this country will soon
become known.

President Wilson did the right thing
in requesting the recall of Dumba, the
Austrian minister to the United
States, who admitted that he was
guilty of agitating strikes in certain
plants where ammunition was being
manufactured. The American war
correspondent and lecturer, Archibald,
who was caught carrying letter
from Dumba to the Austrian govern
ment, resulting in the secrets becom-
ing known, excuses himself on the
ground that the letter was handed him
casually and that he did not have an
idea that it was important. This
may cause break between the United

could not let it pass unnoticed. Thir-

The "big head" is popular way of
expressing a common and very fire.
quent ailment 1t arises from various
sources, but the foundation is lack of
sense. A little money develops it in
some people; few good clothes gives

while others get it from having lit

A WISE FATHER.

A wise man and father died the
other day in Denver, says the Duluth
Herald. His name was Bernard Beer
and he left snug fortune, accumu-
lated during years of strict attention
to business. He also left two sons
who will get the fortune-if they de-
serve it.
His will provides that the two lads
shall each be given $500 at once
Thereafter they are to get each year
as much money as they have made
and saved This is to say, if at the
end of the first year they have saved
a thousand dollars apiece they will
get another each from the fathers
estate. If they have saved nothing
they will get nothing.
Mr.. Beer hardly needed to explain,
as he did in his will, that in making
this provision his aim was to encour-
age habits of industry and thrift in
his sons. and to induce them to ac-
uuire a competence by their own eff
forts and judgment.
Sordid poverty spoils many, but it
is very much to be doubted if it ruins
more than do unearned riches gained
by gift or Inheritance instead of by
hard work. Perhaps such poverty as
that of the slums destroys more in
numbers, but certainly not more in
proportion Of a hundred slum-born
boys and hundred boys born to lux
ury and inherited wealth, more boys
from the slums than from the homes
of wealth will be worth while; for
the slum- born boy must work out
what is in him, and the rich boy has
no such compelling need for self de-
velopment.
Seldom does anything worth having
count for much unless it is gained by
hard toll and personal effort and in
genuity The Denver father who tied
up his estate so his boys would have
to earn it while earning an equal
amount by their own efforts was wiser
and better acquainted with human ma
ture than most fathers.

throwing dirt in mass in the center

ands of dollars were spent an macad-
amized roads few years ago, people
are complaining because it costs so
much to keep them in repair. They
are now talking brick and cement

when once built, will wear for gen.
erations. The costliest roads are Of
