INTELLIGENCE IN WARFARE

If we carefully analyze military ability we md tnat
very little of it is Intellectual
The qualities that go to make successful leader OF
men, either armed unamed are not Intellectual but
matters of temperament.
The sefrelian force of character that never hesltates
and mpars to others the confidence felt by its possessor
is not the product of brain.
On the contrary thought is the greatest antagonist
Of action
The more we know the less confidence we have in our
knowledge
Doubt, the offspring Of study, creates distruSt.
In the calculation of chances must be quick to act
The road to military is lit by flashes Of light
ming that shift rapidly the of the
sea- and time is given the leader Of for thought
and study.
The prompt action that sends fools in where angels
ear to tread sometimes leads to victory But there
no place in such field for
The kings of thought who wage contention with their
times decay
And Of the past are all that will not pass away"
Given an army we'll equipped for service, and clear
quick eye to the Typography of country to man so
confident that he will risk an empire in campaign and
campaign in battle and we have the higher qualities
of great general.
Right here we find solution to a mystery that has
puzzled us through the history of all the wars and that
is that in the host of men killers from Cain to the leaders
OF the armies of the present European war two only
have gone to record thoughtful men, These two were
julius CAESAR and Napoleon Bonaparte One left the
Code Napoleon and the other his Commentaries.

BELGIAN FARMERS AS TEACHERS

Belgian refugees who have found work on North
Carolina FARMS have astonshed the farmers of that
ton by raising valuable food crops in from seventy to
eighty days Not only have they opened the North
Carolina farmers eyes by the quick results obtained, but
have still further astonshed them by the wonderful in
crease in yield Someone has said that Belgian farming
is gardening on large scale and this apy describes it.
Their country is or was small its population dense
and they forced long ago to utilize every inch of
available land There are no weed-grown fence corners
waste places soil too poor for they made soil
wherever they had place to put it Their intensive farm
ing was necessity and they have made of it an art
They rival the very best French gardeners who near
Paris pay high $1,000 for the use of land
and make good money off it, too.
1t is hoped many of the homeless Belgans may find
here in Oregon new homes Their knowledge experience
and skill would be Of inestmabe value to the state and
would do more in the educational way for Oregon farm
ers than thousand such experimental stations as our
agricultural college furnishes
They can and will literally make two or more blades
OF grass grow where only grew before and once their
methods were learned and adopted by the Oregon farm.
crS the yield of the farms would be doubled and much of
the logged off and other lands now left unreclaimed
would be brought under high state of cultivation.
Oregon extends a welcoming hand to the Belgian farmers
They can't come too numerousy or too fast to wear out
that welcome Oregon offers them large and better on
portunteS than any other state and because she has
these opportunities she has the greater need of the
Belgian farmer to take advantage of them

A good joke on an editor who went
one evening to report a party at a
home recently blessed with a new baby.
He met his hostess at the door, and
after the usual salutatiOns he asked
after the baby's health. The lady who
was quite deaf and suffering with the
grippe, thought he was asking after her
cold, and answered that she usually had
one every winter, this was the worst
one she ever had it kept her awake at
night a good deal and at first confined
her to bed. Then noticing that the
newspaper man was getting nervous she
said she could tell by his looks that he
was going to have one just like hers,
and asked him to come in and sit
down.-Exchange.

Bob PEBBLES, a professional at the
Country club, has arranged for a
team of Country club players to play
a ST. Joe team at the st. Joe Country
club next Saturday. From ST. Joe
the team will go to Kansas City on
the 18th to play the Mission Hills club.
The proposed professional tourna-
ment which will be held at the Coun-
try club the two days preceding the
Invitation tournament this fall Will be
of great interest to the many new golf
ers in Topeka. 1t will give them a
chance to see the Pros" at work and
they will have an opportunity to learn
many things about the game by
watching the different players.
Since the organization of the new
Shawnee course, the golf bug mas Dit
ten quite a number around the State
Journal office. The Big c. E. Boss
keeps a golf goods catalogue in his
desk and clubs near him; the principal
advertising Squeeze even uses mid
iron for a walking stick in the after
Moons; and the new A. P. Rep. may be
seen with a bag of sticks slung over
his P. B. most any old time after
thirty
Leslie Hansen, one of the new Coun-
try club players, is now Glass B cham
pion of the club, having defeated
Chester Woodward, the club president,
in the finals The match between
them was interesting and close and
went to the twentieth hole before Han
sen finally secured the decision.
Bob PEBBLES, of the Country club,
announces that he will be a contestant
in the western open championship at
Glen Oak club, Chicago. on August 16,
II and IS. PEBBLES will also play an
exhibition match for 500 with Jack
Burke at the Rockford Country club
at Rockford, Ill, on August 4. Burke
is the Rockford club professional.
In the ladies' team match which will
be held tom at the Country club
the following ladies likely will partici-
pate: Mrs. Gault, Mrs. McClintock,
Mrs. Charles Wolff. Miss l.. Curtis,
Mrs. A. J. Cole, Mrs. Dana Davis, Mrs.
]. c. Mohler, Miss Clyde Bonebrake,
Mrs. A. E. Terrill, Mrs. O. L. Chopper
and others. The lineup of the teams
will be chosen today.
Golf is even taking the place of
baseball to certain extent on the
vacant lots. 1t is not an uncommon
sight in Topeka nowadays to see a
bunch of kids, each with golf club,
approaching and putting to a hole set
in a vacant lot. Pretty soon some of
them likely will begin knocking out
windows trying to drive a ball down
the streets.

The wise ones around town are of
the opinion that Bill Fisher won't
prove the star of the Savage aggrega-

come out of it.
