DIR. Lyman Abbott, in TIE Outlook, March 9. /
A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acree, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them:
not by its mines, but by the men who
work in them; not by it's railways,
but by the men who build and run
them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered it; Ameri-
cans have made of it great nation.
In 1776 oar fathers had vision of Q
new nation conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equaW. Without an
army they fought the greatest of ex-
isting world empires that they might
realize this vision. A third of q CEN
fury later, without navy they fought
the greatest navy in the world that
they might win for their nation the
freedom of the seas. Half century
later they fought through an un-
paralleled Civil war that they might
establish for all time on this continent
the inalienable right OF life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness. A
third Of century later they fought
TO emanctpate an oppressed neighbor,
and, victory won, gave back Cuba to
the Cubans, sent an army of school
masters to educate for liberty tho
Filipinos, asked no war indemnity
from their vanquished enemy, but
paid him literally for his property.
Meanwhile they offered land freely
TO any farmer who would live upon
aud cultivate it, opened to foreign
immigrants on equal terms the door
of industrial opportunity, shared with
them political equality, and provided
by universal taxation for universal
education.
Tho cynic who can see In this his
tory only . theme for his egotisticai
satire h NO true American, whatever
his parentage, whatever his birth
paace. He who looks with pride upon
this history which his fathers have
written by their heroic deeds, who ac-
oepts with gratitude the inheritance
which they have bsqueathed to him,
and who highly resolves 70 pEeserve
this inheritance unimpairsd, ann 10
pass it ON to his descendants enlarged
and enriched, 10 . true American, be
his birthplace o. his parentage what
il may.

The White Of an Zoo.

The white of an egg is made up OF
little cells filed with albumen. BY
beating the white these cells are rup
tured and oxygen from the air is In
closed. which gives the white and light
appearance to beaten eggs. The white
Of stale egg will not inclose as much
oxygen, will not be as light and as
easily digested as that Of the fresh egg
and. Of course, less valuable. The i'm
portance OF beating the egg in cold
pure air Is readily seen.

you doubt 1t ask the farmer. who

Perhaps We can forgive the doddei
for not preparing his own food, for he
has nothing to prepare 1t with. Nearly
all plants have chlorophyll. the sub.
stance which makes plants green and
digests the food which they take from
the ground and the kair. The doddeI
has no chlorophyll.
So 1t has to turn robber to live. After
the seed springs from the ground the
dodder vine reaches out until 1t touches
soLae other plant, clover, for example.
1t attaches itself to the clover stem by
its tiny rootlets and begins to eat the
food which the clover has taken and
digested.
After awhile the root withers and
dies, and the vine keeps reaching out
for more victims, binding them to
gether with its tiny threads. You prob
ably have seen the small. pale. bell
shaped flowers climbing over a field OF

ORCHARD DEMONSTRATIONS.

work in Hancock county for 1915, move
ment will start on March Is, for the reno
vation OF orchards throughout the county.
The chief object OF this movement will bs
to show the benefits OF the pruning and

the successful denomination OF these two
operations will lead to the adoption OF
good orchard practices in all orchards OF
the county.
the county agent will come to your
farm and help you prune and spray ut
least five trees. You will be under no
financial obligations whatsoever TO the
county agent. He will visit your demon
stration at the proper times for spraying,
with spraying outfit complete, and help
you spray the trees that have been pruned.
Special arrangement may be made for
use OF sprayer II you desire to spray ell OF
your trees and have no ontft OF your own.
He will also lend whatever other aid in
your farm operations that may be within
his power.
On your part, you are asked to tell your
neigh bors when the county agent plans to
visit your farm, in order that they may
learn how to prune and spray, actually
doing the work themselves under his d.
reciion. You are to pay the actual cost OF
spraying materials and small charge to
cover depreciation OF apparatus in order
that il may be selt-sustaining.
Those who desire to cooperate with the
county agent in shis matter should send

bearing trees on place, and the number

autumnal battle. especially inasmuch
as President Wilson proposes to make
strenuous swing around the circle.
Campaigning as we know 1t was un-
heard of until Jackson ran. There were
no national conventions. platforms. pa
rades or mass meetings Men with as
pirations for the presidency were
spoken for by their friends in stately
and dignified oratory. JACKSON, in 1928.
started the new order Of events. and
thereafter candidates were allowed to
do and say what they pleased until 1874.
when Henry Clay defeated himself by
an unfortunate utterance. His election
was almost conceded in that campaign
until he made his allusion to the ad-
mission of Texas as a state, which lost
him New York.
After that experience shrewd cam
paisn managers tried to keep their can

Lipcoln's first active campaign man.

candidate would say something to
wreck his fortunes. and Weed made a

Indeed. from that time when Clay
talked himself out of the presidential
race until very recent times, expert
enced politicians believed that a hoo
doc was certain to nit in the wake OF
the campaign tour. and the fate Of
those candidates who talked the most
gave substantial foundation to this
fear. Thus. Lincoln. in 1860. did not
stir out Of his state and made no cam

speeches. travelled also mileG and was
defeated.
Lincoln. in 1854. made one campaign

FTER Yuan Shi kai what?
M China has had her share of
IN great men-both statesmen and
q & warriors Some have been
world-great, the greatness of others
has been limited TO China. But there
has been none greater than the first
president of China, who recently died.
a natural death officially; very likely by
poison, by the hand of an assassin
probably. possibly by his own Many
great men in China have died that way.
Particularly was this true before the
advent of pistol, bomb and modern rev.
olutionaries- Ancient rulers of China
had their troubles. They. too. knew
revolution and one dynasty followed
another. Mongol and Tartar hordes
swept down from the north. These
were great events in their day, but
concerned the outer world not at all.
It was comparatively a few short
years ago that China was delivered to
the world as a political entity, huge
nation, the largest on earth In the last
few years China has undergone greater
and more important things than any
thing that happened during her thou
sands of years of existence
The Manchus came into power in
bloody fashion 270 years ago. Five
years ago they went out. a decadent,
cowardly lot, surrendering a throne
rather than give up their treasure.
Their advent was important in China,
but nowhere else, for the rest of the
al so1
pire- Their fall shook the world and,
as things have developed. has brought
about a situation of world-importance.
During the Manchu dynasty China
was discovered by the outer world
commercially at first, then politically
and automatically. China had existed,
in history, at least, for 400 years. She
fought many wars. within and with
out. Finally she fought Japan a score
of years ago, or rather Japan fought
Ter. She was defeated. The weakness
of the invertebrate giant was shown to
the world Thereupon aggression dis
placed equality of treatment. more or
less respectful diplomacy turned hard
threats took the place of friendly in
tercourse. Every one wanted some
thing that belonged to China. Like an
individual in the hands of a money
lender. SO China became among nations
Temptations were placed in her way,
her officials became corrupt ALWAYS
bribery has been in vogue in China,
but bribery of Chinese by Chinese is
one thing and bribery of Chinese by
foreigners is another. The foreigner
demanded and got a return for his
money and the nation suffered. If brib-
cry didn't do 1t, other means were at
hand.
Land lust. greed. jealousy and inter-
national enmities played their part in
China People talk about the coming
Partition of China" For twenty years
IL has been a growing certainty and has
to most material degree already
taken place. Since 1900 China has lost
tremendous tracts Of territory Man
churia has gone from her control, al
though the fiction of Chinese sovereign
" has been maintained. Mongolia Inner
Mongolia and Tibet are likewise gone
in the same manner. The great ma
ton has been shorn of literally mil
lions of square miles of territory.
Japan holds South Manchuria, Russia,
