There will be. there can be, no
peace in Europe before the end OF
the fourth campaigning season of
the war. Insofar as any prediction
concerning any future event can ever
be made with certainty. IT seems to
me safe to state positively that the
known factors OF the situation make
conclusion of hostilities before
September or October of next year
absolutely impossible Personally, |
think the war Will last through the
fourth winter and into 1918.
An attempt Will be made here to
consider the military situation rs Il
whole. oexamine the broad ten
dcncies which will bring their In
flucnce to bear on the future course
of the war without attempting the
impossible task of predicting the re-
suit of individual campiag gns. on
time since the earlier phases of the
war, l find among we'll Informed
people a disposition to regard Ger
many as beaten, the struggle already
decided and virtually concluded.
These beliefs naturally lead them to
expect Germany to throw up the
sponge i'm the near future They say
they do not expect the war to last
through next winter. or, in any case,
beyond next spring. 1t is to correct
these profound msapprehensons
that this article Is written.
In the first place, let II be remem-
hered that for the war to end Ger
many must be beaten or the allies
persuaded that they cannot defeat
Germany and must perforce accept
a draw Attention is concentrated Mt
present on the entry into the war
Of Rumania. the prospect that Bull
garia and Turkey will be crushed,
Russia installed at Constantlnople
and later the military power OF Aus
tria-Hungary completely broken
down. These things may all happen
in the 1917 campaign. although there
IS not enough time left before the
SHOWS block up the mountain passes
In southeastern Europe for any OF
them to happen this year. l believe
they will all happen, and that by
the end of 1917 a complete victory
of the entente allies will have beer
won--everywhere except on the main
fronts against Germany. But the
issue of these minor campaigns Will
affect the end of the war only as
they tend to strengthen or weaken
the position Of Germany. If Ger

Right Childhood.

The first character of right child
hood is that it is modest. A well-bred
child does not think it can teach it's
parents, or that it knows everything.
1t may think it's father and mother
know everything, perhaps that all
grown people know everything; very
certainly it is sure that it does not.
And it is always asking questions,
and wanting to know more. Well,
that is the first character of a good
and wise man at his work To know
that he knows very little; to perceive
that there are many above him wiser
than he; and to be always asking
questions, wanting to learn, not to
teach. No one ever teaches we'll who
wants to teach, or governs well who
wants to govern; it is an old saying
(Plato's, but / know not if his, first)
and as wise as old.--From "A Crown
of Wild Olives by John Ruskin.

Laughter.

We talk much about wholesome
1000, fresh air, pure air, the absence
of infection, and other hygienic sub
jects. But whoever heard of organ
lied attempts to promote laughter?
or course such endeavors are not
often needed, but, really, there is hard
ly thing that helps so much to pro-
mote health as does good, honest,
whole-souled laughter.
Laughter blows away foolish no.
tons. sweeps out the blues, shakes up
the dry bones, stirs new life into every
corner of the brain. Laughter fills the
lungs with new air and blows out the
old; opens the eyes to distorted view
points; clears the way for better logic
with new basis; uncovers a multitude
Of sins. Laughter is the friend of the
world; laughter is the only absolutely
human characteristic. | mean, the
laughter of humor and genuine fun.
ct is true that some animals make
faces and noises; that is about what
some supposedly human folks call
laughter, too)
Promote laughter; not giggles, nor
smiles, nor sarcastic grins, but laugh
ter-honest, funny, side-splitting, rib
twisting, friendmaking laughter. So
shall you be also friend of the world,
and partner of gods. "-Osteopathic

production is different than of most
farm crops. This has led to some con-
fusion as to Inheritance of characters.
The tuber grows at the end of a short
underground stem of which it is an
enlarged portion. Our commonly cul-
tivated varieties seldom blossom and
produce seed, and this method of re-
production is not employed except by
potato-breeding specialists. The proper
method for the potato grower is to Sc
lect tubers from the best plants, al
ways starting with the best variety
possible to secure.
Selection for disease resistance may
and should be practiced. This cannot
be done with entire satisfaction unless
the soil is badly infested with diseases,
condition which the practical grower
should avoid. Blights and rots may be
overcome to a certain extent in this
manner. Some varieties show greater
resistance than others and should be
grown when any disease is prevalent.
Treatment of the seed and spraying Of
the vines are more effective if the
work is well done. 1t would be desir-
able, however for the potato specialist
to develop resistant varieties. There
is at present no such thing as pota-
toes immune to the common diseases.

GIVES WARNING OF DANGER
Safety Device That 1t Is Said Has
Been Tried Out With Satisfac-
tory Results.

A device that gives warning and
rope is about to break Is now being
used in number of Idaho mines, says
the Illustrated World. If continued
use proves it to be satisfactory the de-
vice is expected to find a place as
part of the safety equipment on all
belt or rope-driven machinery.
The device is able to detect acct
dents before they occur because of the
fact that the breaking cable always
starts first with parts of worn
strand, and in the case of belt with
parting of the lacing. The device de
tects the loose strand or lacing by
means of a delicate feeler rod of thin
wire supported from pivoted bar in
such way that only a narrow space
1ntervenes between the feeler rod or
wire and the whirring rope or belt
drive. AS the strand or lacing unrav-
els 1t hits the feeler wire, and the
wire tits the delicately balanced bar
upon which it is supported. fitting
the bar starts the safety mechanism
This bar has at it's end a hook
which normally is engaged with a
notch in cam roller, and when the
bar tits the hook is withdrawn from
the cam roller. The roller is equipped
with weight suspended from it by a
cord. When the roller is released the
cord unwinds and the weight drops
into glass cage, where it is caught
and falls between two metal bands ar
ranged In a V-relation, but having
their ends spaced little apart. These
bands are the terminals of an electric
circuit and the weight, when it is
caught. completes the circuit. A warn

1t Is a common belief that potatoes
run out or degenerate when grown in
any locality for several years. There
Is no doubt Of the truth of this state
ment under ordinary methods Of
growing and selecting the seed Only
three reasons can exist for running
out" or degenerating of any crop. "a
Degeneration resulting from prolonged
and possibly unnatural propagation by
means OF tubers. CD Deterioration
caused by change to an unfavorable
condition. co Loss of vigor due to
lack of selection of tubers. The last
two factors we know are operative
under the usual manner Of handling
the crop. However, it is not always
true and should never be where con-
ditions are favorable. With expert
mental data on hand and similar data
secured from other investigators the
following statement may be safely
made: That in localities having soil
and climatic conditions favorable for
the highest development of crop,
there will be no degeneration other
than variations, and variations are as
apt to be beneficial as harmful. By
changing seed once in a great while
varieties will be developed in other
localities having similar conditions.
which will be of value for introduc-
ton. but the indiscriminate change of
seed merely for the sake of changing
is a poor practice.
Many potato growers seem to think
1t necessary to change seed every few
years. They do not consider the pro-
ductiveness of the variety they are
growing, nor do they endeavor to i'm
prove its yielding capacity. 1t has
been the custom to change seed pota-
toes every few years and the practice
has been followed without asking the
reason for it.
The potato is practically a new crop
and the development of good new
varieties has been rather rapid, yet
new varieties now seldom surpass the
standard ones in yield or quality. New
varieties should not be grown until
tuey nave Deeu well advertised ana a
market demand created.
The potato breeder and the expert
ment station can better afford to de-
termine the value of new varieties and
exploit their superiority. In cases
where the crop runs out, it is the re-
suit Of poor selection, poor soil or the
presence of disease and not degenera-
ton.
Another common fallacious belief is
that potatoes mix in the hill. The
tubers Of most varieties vary greatly
as to size, color and shape and this
has led many to believe that different
varieties mix or cross when planted
closely together. Selection should be
made for uniformity every year to
overcome this character. Potatoes of
white and blue varieties have been
planted together in hills at the North
Dakota and other experiment stations
and no mixed or blended color ap-
peared.
Hill selection should be followed on
all potato farms. The manner of re-

few skirts are cut with several cores
and the stripes matched in points at
the seams. In spite of the prevalent
fullness many of these skirts are
smooth fitting about the hips, cut on a
circular pattern that gives them am
pie width at the bottom and a full rip
pie below the hips.
The skirt shown above Is made OF
light weight wooden cloth in gray
with white cross bar. The seam down
the front is cut on the diagonal with
bars carefully matched. Fullness is
introduced at each side by two plaits
and at the back by triple boxplait.

FISHES TREMBLE WITH FEAR
Inhabitants Of Water, It 10 Asserted,
Show the Same Emotions az
Do Domestic Pets.

To most people whose opportunities
for observing fish life are limited to
occasional visits to an aquarium, the
thought rarely occurs that these flnny
inhabitants Of the water are capable
OF as many varied emotions as are our
domestic pets, the cat and dog, says
Popular Science.
In an account Of the investigations
conducted by DR.. Francis Ward, an
English zoologist, into the behavior
and life Of fish in their natural en-
vironment, the following appears:
We are accustomed to think that
only we humans become pallid with
fear or agitated with. Joy. But some
experimentsswith perch in the artifi-
cial pond show that when their repose
Is suddenly disturbed by tapping on
the glass, the fish visibly tremble and
the bars which are characteristic OF
this species actually disappear for the
time being only to reappear when the
disturbance is removed and the equa-
nimity of the fish is restored.
Sometimes pike that is rapidly
advancing on his prey becomes suspi-
cious about the latters character. The
pursuer will suddenly stop, in an at
titude Of doubt, his back will arch and
he will remain suspended as though
studying the cause of his suspicious
Only when he is thoroughly treasured
does he become rigid, to advance to
the final attack; if his suspicion is not
allayed he drops to the bottom of the

Deep planting will be found advisable
on weedy land as the harrow may
then be used freely without endanger-
ing what Is meant by quality in pota-
toes. In some countries heavy, soggy
cooking potato is thought to possess
the highest quality. In the United
States most people prefer a potato
which will become mealy when cooked.
The potato should not, however, be so
starchy that it will break the skin or
fall to pieces before becoming cooked.
For slicing and frying a soggy potato
Is desirable. From these statements
1t will be seen that quality in potatoes
is dependent upon ones taste.
Mealiness is dependent upon the
variety and the soil, climate and ma
turity A dry sandy soil produces the
mealiest potatoes. An immature po-
tato seldom cooks we'll and from our
standard is Of very poor quality. If
the tubers are so green that the skin
is easily bruised they will be inferior
in keeping quality. Maturity is indi-
Gated by corky surface and the pres
ence of lenticles. When the vines are
badly injured by insects or diseases,
the tubers do not mature and such a
crop will have a poor quality.
There are many characters which
indicate quality, percentage of dry
matter, size, specific gravity, appear
ance, favor, surface, smoothness, color
OF skin and flesh, depth of eyes and
texture. These characters need no
further description.
Only one variety Of potatoes should
be grown in any locality, especially II
Tor market. Where this custom pre-
walls. reputation is soon established,
and buyers are always anxious to visit
such places. This is an easy and eff
fectual way to advertise the crop.
Practically all potato damage done
by disease and insect enemies may be
prevented by a good system OF farming
and proper treatment of seed and
vines. The work should be begun be-
fore or as soon as any disease makes
its appearance. Prevention is the only
remedy, there is no cure for the in
fected growing plant
