A little girl wrote the following
composition on men: "Men are what
women marry. They drink and
smoke and swear, but don't go to
church. Perhaps if they wore bon
nets they would. They are more
logical than woman and also more
geological. Both men and women
sprung from monkeys, but the wo-
men sprung further than the men,"

Office as the President was speak
ing. 1t was dispatched in accord
ance with the Presidents plan to
have it before the German Gov
ernment at the same moment he
was addressing the American Con-
gress.
The President asked no action
whatever of Congress. He simply
informed it of the accumulation of
facts proving that Germany's as
surances to the United States are
being violated; that the submarine
campaign, despite the earnest pro-
tests of the United States, is being
conducted with renewed vigor in
contravention of all the laws of
nations and humanity, and that he
means to sever relations unless it
is brought within the law. Diplo-
matte history of the world shows
that such a course is almost GER
tain to be followed by war.
The Presidents note and his ad-
dress to Congress are final. They
mark the end of diplomatic ex-
changes. A continuance of the
long standing friendly relations,
the President made clear, depends
alone upon Germany's conduct.

MOTORCYCLE A TIME
SAVER ON THE FARM

Mr.. E. ]. Mueller the assistant sales
manager of the Harley-Davidson oMtor
company, Milwaukee, Wis, has been VS.
ting the southern branch of the Harley
Davidson Motor company at Atlanta for
the past four or FIVE days. While gong
over the sales that have been maze from
the southern branch he was greatly sur
prised to see the wonderful increase OF
motorcycles going into the farming dis
tricts in the southeastern states In fact
this increase has been very noticeable,
especially in Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee, and it proves conclusively the
idea that the farmers who own large
tracts of land throughout the south are
realizing the Importance and the Valua-
BILE assistance a motorcycle with side
car is to the farm today, as 1t can be
put to so many usages quickly and has
proven to be one of the greatest time
savers. With the present high price of
gasoline, which makes the operation of
an automobile very expensive, the motor
cycle is all the more In demand, for with
the cost of q quarter of a cent or a half
a cent at the most per mile with the up
keep cut down to a small margin makes
the motorcycle the cheapest mode of
transportation of any other gasoline
driven or horse-drawn outfit today. 1t
is predicted by experts who have watched
this feature very closely that 1t is only
a question of q very short time before
every we'll regulated farm will not be
complete unless it has a motorcycle with
a side van 70 side car as a part of the
equipment The chassis on this side van
outfit is one that has been adopted and
recommended by the United States gov
eminent who have placed quite large
order with the Harley-Davidson.

They go to the fields In the early dawn
when the air is cool and refreshing
and work until the great heat comes on
in the middle of the day. Then they
rest and sleep in the shade until the
afternoon breeze springs up and the sun
gets down toward the western horizon
when they work again until it gets too
dark to see.
It's not hard work, either, although

the natives seem to know by instinct
how to avoid that. They cut the lower
row Of leaves off from each plant, tie
them UP in bundles of forty and carry
the bundles to the nearest receiving
point, where either carts or mule cars
on a little tramway take the oundtes
into the mill. On the big haciendas
these little tracks run out in all d1rec-
tions from the mill, for, as the crop VIII
yield steadily for twenty years and can
be renewed indefinitely, it well pays To
put them down, especially as they re-
auire no prepared roadbed and can De

of these tags to each bundle he turns In

Moue forPeace,
Bryan Message
To Democrats
In Signed Published Article He
Shows Way to Win Over the
"Peace Element" From Re-
pubIiCanS
nv Associated Prsss.l

LINCOLN, Neb., May 1$.-In a signed
article published today William Jen-
nings Bryan declared the Democratic
party must, in order to win the coming
campaign move toward peace" and
thereby capture the peace" element in
the Republican party. He begins his
article by quoting from a Chicago news
papers editorial in which Mr.. Wilson is
called a minority president, in that he
received fewer votes than Roosevelt and
Taft combined, and says the Democrats
must face the fact that a united Re
publican party will enter the campaign
with a popular majority Of 100000
votes.
Continuing, he says:
ITO the normal Republican advant-
age must be added the disaffection
without attempting to decide whether
the president was wise or unwise in
taking the course that alienated them,
the party is confronted with the fact
that this alienation will cost it a large
number of Votes-enough to defeat the
party in several close states.
FOR A FIGHTING CHANCE.
From what source can we draw the
number of recruits necessary to give
the party a fighting chance? From one
source and from one source only, name
ly, the peace element of the Republican
party, we cannot draw votes from the
war element.
There is a peace element in the Re-
publican party as shown by the Vote
cast for Henry Ford in Michigan, Ne
braska, and other states. This is the
only element to which the Democratic
party can appeal, and to appeal to this
element it will be necessary to do more
than has vet been done. If any con-
siderable number of Republicans felt
friendly to the president they would
have shown it by writing in his name
as their choice when they expressed
themselves at the primary.
'If this element is to be conciliated
1t must be done by move toward peace.
The opportunity is here. The German
government in accepting this govern
ments position in the submarine con-
troversies gives as one of its reasons
for doing so it's unwillingness to be re-
sponsible for extending or spreading the
war 1t refers to the fact that it has
twice expressed a desire to consider
terms of peace. The way Is open. VIII
the president take advantage of the OPP
portunity? Failure to secure peace
would bring no humiliation, while sue
cess would be of tremendous advantage
to him politically. as we'll as blessing
to this country and the world. He can
| at one stroke destroy all the advantage
the Republican party now has and make
| the race on the record of peacemaker-
VIII he give voice to worlds conscience
