it differ from Cney county

kafir and milo maize, etc. but we
have too much land unoccupied

ready to yield to honest toll, this
plentitude that prevails in the
sunflower state-or the banner
wheat state. as she is coming to

These are fair samples of the state
ments which are being published and
which are creating the anti-American
feeling.
Americans throughout Germany are
no longer wearing the tiny American
flag in their buttonholes that were SO
noticeable and generally applauded in
the early days OF the war. The en-
bassy and consulate here is being
deluged with letters from Germans
friendly to America and from German
Americans, the tenor of which is:
How can we answer a man who
asks us why America sells ammunition
to kill our sons and then expects us
also to buy agricultural implements
from the United States?"
A very prominent German society
leader, who hitherto has been most
friendly to Americans, entertaining
them in her home. has now caused it
to be announced that henceforth
Americans will not be welcome. She
declared that the resentment Of her
German friends toward tho United
States is responsible.
The position Of Ambassador Gerard
and Consul General Law IL now be-
coming extremely difficult and deli
cate, both officials being focus points
for German criticism.

the union labor interests Of the state
and urged his adverse minority re-

The senate adopted the favorable
majority report and the bill will take
it's place on the calendar.
