"We have not always agreed with the
President of the United States, but

1.-THE note is in every respect a master
ly document. 1t puts the German gov
ernment squarely in the position of
choosing whether it will obey the die
tatcs of conscience, reason and human
ity, and retain the friendship of the
United States, or accept the stigma Of
an outlaw nation and deliberately pro-
woke new quarrel. There can be no
mistaking the concluding paragraph Of
the American note"
New York estates Zeitung''-
While the estates Zeitung" makes no
editorial comment on President Will
son s note to-day, it has the following
to say, printed in English:
Nor is this a time to burden mil
liens of the American people with un-
Just and unnecessary anguish of mind.
The Germ, N Americans must suffer in
any conflict between the United States
and Germany pains of which their fell
low citizens can never know anything.
1t is rather time for showing the
greatest degree of consideration. They
have fought to uphold the flag in the
past and they will do so again, against
any enemy whatsoever They deserve
the fruits of past loyalty, until they
have forfeited the right to claim them.
There has never been but one flag un-
der which the German American has
fought There never can be but one
flag under which he will ever fight
And that flag is the Stars and
Stripes"

The Roads.

The News interviewed several farm
ers last Thursday, who were in Colum-
bia, to 60 before the Board of Equal
izers. The subject was Roads, and
they all stated that the highways in
Adair county were in worse condi-
tion than they ever before knew. In
some places the mud comes up to the
hubs of wagons, and it takes a good
team to draw an empty vehicle. Is it
not time for the citizenship of this
county to come to life on the question
of road building? Good roads make
business, not only that, but they would
enhance the value of farms, afford a
better way of getting to market, and
would cause broad smile to come over
the faces of the entire farming class.
1t is the most important question now
confronting the people of Adair coun-
ty.

will Serve During Life.

People about Columbia will remem-
Der that two or three years ago Rob-
ert Nell, who was nephew of Mrs.
Mary Harvey, this place, while um-
piring base ball game, in Bullett
county, was struck in the head with a
bat by Herman Deacon, Nell dying in
a few hours. Deacon and Nell were
not on good terms and Nell was struck
from behind. Deacon was tried
for murder and given a life sentence.
The case was appealed, and last week
the Court of Appeals affirmed the
judgment of the lower court and Dea-
con will have to serve during life.
The first words spoken by Nell when
he came to himself were, "Who struck
me-" showing conclusively that he
did not know the man who had struck
the fatal blow.

The Family Garden.

The garden spot is the most pro-
ductive fraction of an acre on most
farms, yet on many it is often one of
the most neglected in many respects
In the hurry and rush of the spring
work it is MANFRED possibly, and
plowed and planted. or partly planted,
and then the care falls to the women
and children. If the farmer were to
carefully consider the proportion of
the family living that comes from the
garden, he would realize that it de-
serves much more careful attention
than iU receives from him.
Not only can the garden be made
much more profitable, and help out
the family ration by increasing it and
also by balancing it womewhat better,
but it can be made means of consid.
cradle supplement- to the income re.
ceived from the principal farm indus
tries. BY having two-family gar
den-that is raising garden stuff
enough for two families and finding a
customer in town or city who would
like to. have garden land other
products direct from the farm at least
once each week-more could be real
lied from the farm, both for the fam
| lily table and purse. Many town OF
city housewife would be glad to re-
ceive good-sized market basket full
of fresh garden stuff diaectly from the
producer by parcel post, express or d
rect delivery by the farmers own con
Representatives. would prove the
most satisfactory and economical.

the floor, and when called his atten-
tion to the spots he said his son did
not do that. But his wife who had
died from consumption three years
before Had made them spots" He
said that he had himself lived about
long enough any way. L agreed with
him there, and did not press the argu-
ment any further. This has been
obout three years ago, and have not
seen the old man since. I have had
several cases like this, but now am
having but littla trouble. These two
cases occurred before l had learned
the real cause of consumption. This
l will now give.
l have no doubt that every case Of
consumption that has ever taken
place, and every case that is now TAX
ing place. and every case that ever
VIII take place, is caused by promiscu-
Gus splitting, and If we can in any way
stop splitting, we can stop consump-
tion, aud if we can get the people to
believe this, the question is nearly
settled. In many places in this coun-
ty, consumptives and their friends
make no effort, even for decency's
sake, to destroy the sputum, or to dis
infect it. The patients spit on the
floor, and if there, they will paddle
around in the sputum, and if they
make any show of decency at all, they
will take broom and some water,
wash up the sputum and let it run
down through the cracks of the floor,
and think they have done good job.
When B commenced the practice of
medicine away back IN the SOS this
kind of sanitation was the rule, now
it Is very Iare exception. Many men
at this day 60 on splitting promiscu-
ously in the churches, in their dwell.
ings and in the stores, on the side
walks and on the streets, without
seeming to think of the indecency, to
say nothing of the danger to the
health of the community, or even
their own health or the health OF
their families. But this is growing
better. You will now sometimes see
men walking the pavement, and wher
they want to spit, they will turn
their heads and spit in the street
This looks better, but really is just as
bad. Don't spit.

German and Austrian sympathzcrs
Onicers OF the Nixon company made
dcnials. bu, 1t was said that an invcst-
cation would ho made. There are several
hundred Germans employed In the plant.
II was asserted that the tiie was
caused by spontaneous combustion, in
the opinion OF those working in the dry
ing room but IL was not denied that
it was possible for enemies OF the Allies
to have started the blaze.
Germans working in the plant are
under the constant surveillance of
force Of private detectives. it WAS said.
These detectives are on duty night ana
