And this for the very simple reason
that the entire value of our foreign
commerce would not pay the ex
penses of a gigantic war for even a
few months.
1T is, indeed fortunate that the
White House is not now occupied
by man whose mind is inflamed
with an ambition for military pres.
tige. How fortunate it is that many
months before the outbreak of Eu
ropean hostilities the president of
the United States had established a
reputation as lover of peace, as a
man who would not involve his
country in war save in sheer and
absolute self defense II thus oc
ours that all the nations of the
world recognize the fact that our
government is not DESTROYS of par
ticipating in the pending conflict,
but, on the contrary, ardently hopes
and earnestly will labor to bring
about condition of universal peace
and good will.
In all his efforts looking toward
consumation of these happy results,
the president of the United States
is entitled to the earnest Co-Opera-
ton of all American citizens. That
~ operation ought to be evidenced
by the patience and fOrbearanCe Of
the people. Agitation should not
be begun or, indeed, tolerated. II
is our business to maintain an alb
sOlute neutrality. Fortunately di'
vided from the scene of Conflict bv
great ocean, and having observed
the teachings of the fathers, who
wisely cOunseled against entanelin9
alliances. we occupy a position OF
dignity and strength, which will en-
able us to endure with patience and
fortitude all inconvenience or ex-
ASPIRATIONS, and in the end probably
/ to act as the arbiter of peace"

GARDNER DEMANDS
FINANCIAL JUSTICE
FOR THE FARMER
SUBMITS BILL TO LEGISLATURE
PROVIDING FOR STATE
LAND BANK.
Measure Woud Enable Missouri Aari-
culturists to Borrow Money on
Long Time at Low In

Jefferson City, Mo.-It is conceded
on all sides that Col F. D. Gardner,
in his address before the agricultural
committees of the house and senate
few days ago, which meeting was
attended by the governor and promi-
nent members of the house and senate,
and in his advocacy of the bill which
he submitted for the establishment Of
the Missouri State Land Bank, created
an immensely favorable impression.
The bill was unanimously recon-
mended for passage by both commit
tees. 1t is now before the senate and
house. Undoubtedly the members of
the legislature will receive letters from
home urging its passage.
In his argument Co. Gardner point
ed out the fact that the farmer pro-
duced all of the wealth of the nation.
And yet, according to the official fig
ures of President Taft, he is paying

WHERE HENS PREFER TO LAY
Like the Grouse She Naturally Seeks
Spot Where She Cannot Be Sur
prised From the Rear.

A poultryman made an experiment
with his fowls to ascertain their pref.
erence for place in which to lay and
found that more hens chose to lay in
an open box in a corner not far from
a window and three feet from the
ground than in anything darker, high
er, lower or differently constructed,
says a writer in an exchange. One
hen out of forty-one left all the boxes
and stole her nest in thicket; an
other selected a barrel on its side at
the back Of the house. The rest
went for the greater part into corner
boxes or corners of the chicken house
without boxes.
He says: IT think the explanation
of this corner idea is simple: The
wild hen, like the grouse, naturally
seeks a spot where she cannot be
surprised from the rear, and the habit
sticks to her descendants no matter
how civilized. Anything she can go
into and then face round with an as
surance Of safety on all sides except
in front seems desirable to her. Co
ing still farther into natural functions,
the hen evidently wishes to be able
to leave her nest with dash for the
open over the head Of formidable
assailant If necessary, thereby tempt
ing 1t to give chase and drawing 1t
away from the eggs.
$50 the nest should be at least a
three-sided affair, and having a top
is no disadvantage. The entrance
should be in front. deny the value
of making a rear dark alleyw"y to the
nests, as is often planned, for this
means added labor, expense and trou-
BILE, since another opening in front is
necessary for human access tn the
nest"

sen. REED ON PEACE
Declares No Power Can Drag Us Into
War-PraiSe for Wilson
! Administration

st. Louis Mo. FEB. 27.-United
States Senator James A. Reed was
given an ovation in speaking before
q joint session of the senate and
house of representatives, both by
Democrats and Republicans, when
he declared that no power on earth
could drag the United States into
the EuTOpeau war, and further that
this government should buy up all
goods intended for export rather
than to allow their transportation
on the seas to interfere with the
peace of this nation.
Reed stopped in Jefferson City
while OH his way from Kansas City
to Washington. His speech was
largely review of the work of the
Wilson administration. Every ref
erence to the president was one of
praise.
Every day l am asked the ques-
ton: will the United States be
dragged into the European war;"
Such a calamity is, in my judgment,
inconceivable and impossible. |
regard as a public enemy the man
who, by private or public speech
seeks to at this time infiame the
passions or arouse the prejudices of
the American people. AS a race,
we are prone to stand upon our
rights. Proud and high spirited, we
naturally resent thp slightest inter-
ference with our commerce or with
the rights of any of our citizens.
The man, therefore. who thought
lessly or maliciouSly utters an eX-
preston calculated to increase or to
create antagonism is engaged in a
dangerous and despicable service.
Il shall not further pursue the
thought. Your own minds will sug-
gest many additional arguments
but l do desire to forcibly impress
upon you this idea, that, whereas in
normal times it might be necessary
for us even to 90 to war in order to
protect our commerce upon the
seas and to maintain our national
honor and to manifest to the worlC
that the American government will
not tolerate the destruction of thu
property of American citizens upon
the high seas, still that reason today
does not obtain. With half thu
world afiame, no nation will reearC
us as guilty of national poltrooner!
if we decline to enter the struggle
except in sheer and absolute self
defense. We can, therefore abid
with patience whatever annoyance
may come.
Il say without hesitation, thai
rather than enter this war, in tn
protection of our commerce, woul
prefer to have the United State
government purchase every articl

This was the declaration of a stat

has between $250,000,000 and 300,-

bumper wheat crop of the United
States. that was practically 100000

raising this export maximum, there
by allowing the United States to
export a larger quantity than
