do Americans think that Captain
Won Papen's somewhat 1nnocuous
statement about Americans, In his let
ter discovered on Archibald. is an iso-
lated expression Of opinion. The truth
is that since the, beginning Of the
war, in every German and Austrian
consulate in this country and in both
embassies. Americans have been
dogs, and pigs, and .beaSts when-
ever reference has been made to

Regarding expenditure Of money BY
German and Austrian officials in this
country, the statement says:
When the truth Is known regard
ing the actual sums Of money that
have been spent in this country for
the purchase Of newspapers, the sub
sidizing Of college professors, the de.
struction of munitions plants, the hir-
ing of halls. the payment OF travelling
expenses for hundreds Of men who
are constantly moving about tho
country and for many other purposes,
the amount will stagger imagination.

is utterly ridiculous" DR.. Goricar IS
quoted as saying. When he returned
to this country in March, after re-
signing from the Austrian consular
service, Goricar said he was notified
by friends his government had de-
cided to declare him insane or Rus
sian spy, should he make any move
against Austrian interests.
"This Russian spy charge Is simply
the old propaganda they intended to
use against me several months ago.,
Goricars statement says.
"Since my return to this country
have never sought. to disguise the
fact that I have been working and
still am working for Slavic unity.
That charge that I ever attempted to
induce any Slav in this country to
reasonable acts against Austro-Hun-
gary, Is a deliberate falsehcod.

Issued.
There was a sudden cessation In tho

THE FARMERS INSTITUTE
MIGHT TRY THIS PLAN

From March to September OF TINS
year the agricultural college VIII
send out institute men on demonstra-
ton work wherever a few farmers
will get together and arrange 10
have their farms visited. Either
dairyman. a live stock man, poultry
man, orchard man, crop or SOILS
man. an insect specialist or a spe-
cialist in farm management could be
sent to spend several days In a COM
munity, visiting the farms belonging
10 the club OF farmers and helping
with suggestions. The only expense
to the farmers will be travelling ex-
penses from the agricultural college
and return with entertainment while
doing the work. Where such CLUBS
are organized It might be possible
to have a soils man for one wis., O
crop man for another, live STOCK
man for another, and a dairyman
or other specialist for another ana
thus have several visits during the
season. Last year over 500 farms
and orchards were visited by col
lege men all on request of the farm
