"As American citizens, as Progress ives, it is our duty at this time to si- lence the rash criticisms and un- thinking partisan prejudices and stand by our President said MT. Hanson in a recent interview.
 MT. Hanson ran for the United States senatorship in Washington in 1914 and boiled S3,2S2 votes. He is anxious to engage Senator Miles Poindexter, of the same state, in a joint debate. MT. Poindexter was elected to the Senate as Progressive, but now says he is a Republican. The following is a telegram sent by MT. Hanson to the Democratic national committee:
 ..We can carry Washington. Can you shame Senator Poindexter into debating with. me the subject, Shall Wilson Be Returned?' Poindexter is afraid, and,c like Hughes, is a trim mer. Both have endorsed the Ameri- can flag, but refuse to get down to fundamentals. Have challenged Poindexter repeatedly, but to no avail.". t @
 California Progressives for Wilson.
 Isadore Jacobs, prominent busi- ness man WnO IS ledulHS luc lHue- pendent movement in California, has sent a communication to. the Wood row Wilson Independent League, 2S0 Madison avenue, New York, in which he says that the non-partisan move ment is just as strong in the northern part of California as in the southern end of the state.
 Each day" said Mir. Jacobs, i've are getting letters from old time Re- publicans and Progressives asserting that they will work and vote for Will son and that it is their purpose to at tend the conference which is to be held in San Francisco, Aug. 5, and whoop it up in true western style.''
 MT. Jacobs says the majority of the Progressives in California will be for President Wilson. As an indication of the type of business men who are heading the Wilson Progressive move ment in California, the following is quoted from MT. Jacobs message:
 "A permanent Progressive organi- zation has been effected in San Fran cisco. Its officers are:

 The stirring scenes at the meeting of the Progressive state committee of New Jersey, in Newark, when the Bull Moose. hpkly resisted the attempts of certain Elders to pledge the. party in that sqfte to the Republican ticket, was a warning that Progressives are mot going to submit to the destruction of their .principles- nor to the barter of their votes.

Foreign Mission Thauk.Offering

Next Sunday, March IL, in
both churches of the Lutheran
Charge the foreign Mission
Thank offering to Almighty God
for having preserved US as a peo-
pie in peace with the world, and
when everywhere the shoutings
of war are heard, will be receiv-
ed at all the services. Little en-
velopes for the Peace offering
were given out about two
weeks ago. If no envelope has
reached you you will be given a
chance at the services to get one
and make your offering. The
regular apportionment for for
eign Missions is thirty two cents
a year for each member. Be-
cause the American Church has
been obliged to take upon its
shoulders the work of the nations
at war so far as foreign missions
is concerned, we are requested
to try to double our regular ap-
portionment and raise the amount
at once. Let every member Of
the Sunday school or church re-
spond to this great need and
thereby offer an effective prayer
to God to keep US out of the war
and preserve US as nation of
peace. Come every member of
the School, and the church and
friends of the church and bow
before your God and do his will
now so his anger will not fall up
on us as a church or a people as
it did upon the nations of Europe.

Conserving tarm Manure.

At the present time when ma
ny farmers are worrying over the
shortage of the potash supply is
a good time to turn attention tC
our own farm resources and j,
7. Campbell, soil and farm cror
expert of the Department of Ag,
riculture especially recommend:
the conservation of the liquid me
nure. Mr.. Campbell says:
"On many farms the liquid
manure of the farm livestock
goes down through the floor Of
the stable or is otherwise lost to
the land and with it goes i'm.
mense value to the farmer. The
crops taken from the field re-
move more or less potash while
crops fed to animals give off the
potash largely through the urine.
If the liquid manure is not re-
turned to the soil, the potash sup
ply of the soil suffers.
If concrete watertight floors
were constructed in the barns
and enough of litter used to alb
sorb the liquid, or concrete or
watertight pits or reservoirs pro-
vided adjacent to the stables and
barns, and the resultant manure
were intelligently applied to the
soil, there would not be a great
need for additional potash.
Most farmers have exagger-
ated ideas of the need of more
plant food in the soil. What is
needed more is a knowledge of
how to make use of the plant
food already in the soil. Some
experiment stations are conduct
ing a lot of experiments to show
what can be done with chemical
fertilizers and practically doing
nothing to show US how the soil
fertility can be maintained or re-
stored without the expense of
using chemicals and by going on
in natures own way"

glances at the woods from which we

of the word "Doda'' made It clear
enough that this was a rescue party
who had set forth to save or revenge
the old chiefs son, for such we gath

ell was now held by the whole tribe
squatting In a circle, while we sat near
on a slab of basalt and watched their
proceedings. Two or three warriors
spoke, and finally our young friend
made a spirited hArangue with such
eloquent features and gestures that
we could understand It all as clearly

II was clear now that the ape man
had in some way marked us down and
that we were watched on every side.
We had not so much to fear from them
during the day but they would be very
likely 10 rush US by night, so the soon
er we got away from their neighbor-
hood the better. On three sides of us
was absolute forest, and there we
might find ourselves in an ambush.
But on the fourth side-that which
slOped down in the direction Of the
lake-there was only low scrub, with
scattered trees and occasional open
glades. 1t was. in fact, the route
which 1 had myself taken in my soil
tary tourney, and It led US straight for
the indian caves This, then, must
for every reason be our road.
1t was In the early afternoon that we
started upon our journey. One Indian,

but refused indignantly 70 carry any

The little red warriors hung upon
the words Of the speaker, and when he
had finished they burst into a roar of
applause, waving their rude weapons
in the air. The old chief stepped for
ward to US and asked us some ques-
tons, pointing at the same time to the
woods. Lord John made a siga to
him that he should wait for an answer

suit, however, and soon we had got
into more open coonry and beyond
their power.
In the late afternoon we reached the
margin of the lake. and as we emery
ed from the bush and saw the sheet
Of water stretching before US our ma

and pointed eagerly In front of them
1t was indeed a wonderful sight which
lay before us. Sweeping over the
grassy surface was a great Iodilla Of
canoes coming straight for the shore

miles out when we first saw them,
but they shot forward with great
swiftness and We're soon so near that
the rowers could distinguish our per-
sons. Instantly a thunderous shout of
delight burst from them. and we saw
them rise from their seats, waving
their paddles and spears madly in the
air.
Then, bending TO their work once
more, they flew across the intervening
water, beached their boats upon the
sloping sand and rushed up TO us, pros
trating themselves with loud cries of
greeting before the young chief. Final
