THE AMERICAN VIEW.

The notion that all Americans of German descent are necessarily with Germany in her present struggle has less currency had year ago The latest evidence to the contrary is address delivered by nr. Henry Harbaugh Apple president of Franklin and Marshall col lege speaking as the representative of section nhabi ted by"'Pennsylvania Dutch"
 Apple referred the part that this class of citizens their have played in epoch of Amer ican history beginning with time when they render ed such valuable service in provisioning Washingons s revolutionary army. In every generation, he remark ed the Pennsylvania have shown their attach ment American ideals while preserving their tra- ditional regard for the Fatheraud.
 Today said Dr. Apple these people not partisans of Germany. They not critical of Germany as certain other elements of population they have feeling vindictiveness. they convic tion that the world is somehow bound up with the aims and purposes of the Allies"
 And after all the heated argument of the last twenty months that's about what the view of the Amer ean He may be hazyas to the precise the and the responsibility for it. and the legal and moral aspect of the methods adopted by the rival he has feeling that the best future of the world is somehow bound up with the aims and purposes of the Allies"

STATE FAIR WILL BE
 STARTED NOV. 1870 AVOID ELECTIONS
If Held Earlier There Would Be Danger of Political Cam paign Interfering with Sue cess of Event.

1 PHOENIX, March 7.-At a meeting of the fair commission it was definite ly decided to hold the fair during the week of Nov. 13. An earlier date had been considered, but on account of the political campaign which will be in full swing this year it was thought ad- visable not to hold it until after the election.
 The stockmen were also taken into consideration in fixing it for the later date. as during the latter part of Oc- tober they are engaged in gathering and shipping cattle, the contracts be- ! ing generally made for delivery not later than Nov. 1, and an earlier date would prevent many of them from at tending.
 Secretary T. D. Shaughnessy is al- ready engaged on the new premium list and will issue it much earlier this year than formerly. The commission at it's meeting on Saturday created the new position of superintendent of speed and appointed Dr. J. G. Belt to the place. He will have. complete charge of the speed department and will assist the secretary in preparing the program for these events. This work has heretofore fallen up- on the shoulders of the secretary, but he is so busy with his other duties that he finds it impossible to give the propA CT attention to all of them.
 Dr. Belt has been a raiser of and racer of horses in the state for several years and comes to the position fully equipped to give efficient service tc that department.
 W. w. Cook. superintendent of the cowboy sports, is planning to give the patrons of the fair this year some thing a little better in this line than has ever been pulled off before in the shape of national roping contest He expects to offer prizes which will bring tn emost noted cowboys in the United States here 10 participate .in the contest. One of the prizes will carry with it the championship of the United States.

 Efforts are now being made to save him on the ground that he is insane. When he was to hang two months ago he was saved at the last minute by a telegram from the governor of Nevada who stated that in his opinion Ker- meen is unbalanced mentally.

CORN Is GOLD IN
THIS COUNTRY

corne Do we fully appreciate
just what this yellow grain, dis
tinctiwely American, has done fer
the United States and what it
wi q do for the Northwest dur
ing succeeding years?
Corn has contributed more to
make the United States nation
Of great wealth and her people
one of prosperity than any other
product of the land. Corn has
brought to the United States adj
ded wealth amounting to- more
than 81 ,5OO,O00,OO0.O0 annually
for the past decade, more than
the corn Of all other countries
combined, more than ALL other
Gel calls combined, twice the val
ue Of our Gotten crops and more
than twice the value Of all the
gold and silver mined annually
in all the nations Of the world.
Little did our Pilgrim fathers
realize what the kernels of corn
shown them by the Indians wou ]
ultimately do for their country.
But while of Indian origin, corn
as we have it today in the great
ears Of yellow and white, shapelW'
and symmetrical, crowded from
end to end with kernels, has it's
greatest signific ficance in that it
exemplifies what can be done.
by men of skill with the aid of
science.
Why docs the United States
lead the world in the production
of meats and dairy products?
The answer is corn. Packed
within the hull Of this wonder
full grain are starch cells, gluten,
and oil, which are capable Of
producing the largest number
of pounds Of animal products at
lower cost than any other farm
grain.
Corn means much to- the North
wet, not only because of its
wonderful value as a food stuff,
yielding greater revenue per
acre than any of the other cer-
eals when properly fed to i'm
rl:oyNd types Of animals, but it
has the further advantage in that
its c;tltivation makes our land
more productive, eliminating
noxious weeds from the soil,
encoua raging the growth CT more,
cloutr and alfalfa, as supple.
ment qy foods.-rlants which
gather nitrogen from the air,
thereby putting into the soil
that which is most needed to
make it give maximum returns.
1t has been demonstrated that
corn can be grown successfully,
in the Mon thwt st. Am increase,
in the acreage Of this grain is
greatly to ssbe desired. The
growing Of more corn will not.
lie. $ ii the total pro duction of
otEtr cereals. If one third Of
tie :1ea of TYPICAL grain farm
CT tie Northwest could be de-
voted to corn, clover and aEf-
alta, and these products PRO-
.perly fed to live stock with the
fertilizer returned, the remain--
ing two-tlirGs Of the land would.
produce more grain within five.
years than would! the entire:
farm in small grain alone.
No one enterprise will con-
tribute more to. the prosperity,
OF the Northwest than the raisin
Of more and better live stock,
Corn is certain to be large
factor in making the industry.

sonably expect. III. r. Smith,
