l. d. O'Donnell- In this western
country we are coming to do more
diversified farming. A man who had
his entire land in an orchard few
years ago now has but third of it in
trees. The loss on orchards has been
great in some years. Now the profits
on other things make up for the loss
on that part. The rotation of crops
and the condition of the stock are COM
ing in for a share of attention. The
business methods of the farm is the
important thing. Every farmer should
have bookkeeping system-it need
not be a difficult one-but he should
keep accounts of the profits and losses
and give up that which does not pay.
If he does not know where he is los
ing money he may go on Indefinitely.

WE'LL CHOSEN.

Americans previous to the great Eu-
ropean war always relied on the secur-
ity given to their country by the two
great oceans,-the Atlantic and Paci-
f1c. There was never much fear of
an invasion from Canada and Next
nature. No aggressive warfare was
expected from a people constantly
fighting among themselves Now, all
is different. The eyes of the nation
have opened. Uncle Sam has been
awakened from his peaceful s1umber.
There is no telling from what angle
the United States may be attacked.
and when it comes the nation wants
TO be prepared.
So, along with the great expendi-
lures appropriated by Congress to
bring the Army and Navy up to sea-
sOnable strength, President Wilson
has appointed to membership on the
newly created Council of National De-
Tense the following men from various
walks of life:-Daniel Willard of Bal

HUGHES AND THE LUSITANIA

1t is conceded now by a majority
of Republican and Democratic news.
papers that Charles Evans Hughes
has made no material impression in
his favor by answering the question
advanced by the man in Louisville,
What would you have done when the
Lusitania was sunk? Even with
more than a. year in which he could
look back over the situation the can
d1date did not directly say what he
would have done when the Lusitania
was sunk, but he averred that if he
had been President the Lusitania
would not have been sunk He would
have prevented this terrible catastro-
phe by sending warning to Germany
the moment those newspaper adver
t1sements appeared And yet it is
known that no one knew very much
about those advertisements until the
day the Lusitania sailed, and even
then they were taken as merely re-
fteratfng the German governments
warning Of the established war zone.
No serious minded man dreamed for
a moment that the Lusitania would
be sunk. Surely it was not the bust
ness of a state department or of a
President of the United States to scan
the advertising columns Of New York
newspapers in order to find a reason
for threatening a foreign power with
war. Diplomacy is not conducted in
that way. The New York Tribune.
one of the strongest Republican
Journals in the country, disagrees with
Mr.. Hughes in this matter and saws
that the only chance there was of pre-
venting this crime was to establish
the fact in the German mind that to
murder American citizens was to
bring the United States in the war.
Further, it contends, 1.-THE German
government cares nothing about
formalities or technicalities. It cares
nothing about friendly relations with
the United States. It cares nothing
about anything but success in the war
in which 1t is engaged No, Mr..
Hughes had he been President of the
United States could not have pre-
vented the sinking of the Lusitania,
as he claims. The Germans had
planned that affair long before any ad-
verttsements appeared in the news
papers, the submarine that committed
the crime was more than three DAYS
away from it's base, and no word even
from the German Foreign office might
intercept a preconceived plan. The
only thing Mr.. Hughes could have
done was to get us into war with
Germany and it has since been admit
ted that we were in no condition for
such a thing.
