IL is no secret that Mr.. Max Beerbohms
wit WAS sometimes exercised upon Sir Herbert
Tree, his half-brother, and the story goes
that when Sir Herbert's name appeared in the
honors list lady appealed to Max upon a
point which she considered important. 81

your brother has got knighthood, but what

better way will be found for dealing with
the present problem; only nothing short OF
panic could persuade US that the simple
solutions so readily conceived by the critics
have never occurred to the minds OF those
who are responsible, or that, having been
suggested to them, they were rejected on
the ground that it was not necessary
to fight.

Easter at st. Peters Church.

Rev. Father Gerry of the Catholic
University, Washington, D. c., who
gracouslY assisted our own pastor,
Father Jas. E. Connell throughout the
solemn services of Passion week, read
the first mass at 40 on Easter Sunday
morning. The numbers Of communi-
eants piously approaching the holy
Easter Banquet, was scene not easily
forgotten by those whose happiness it
was to witness it. Never before has been
at one time such a throng. The twograti-
FED Pastors, like the apostles of old,
with faces shining, lit up from a holy
inward peace in the presence of this
wonderful Easter harvest of souls.
And we, gaze upon this impressive
moving picture in rapt wonder, and try
to realize particle Of the sanity pa
thence employed in hearing all those
confessions, by those two faithful men
Of God. The musical rendering of the
infant choir was inspiring, lending to
the scene warm glow, as the sun
rises and floods with his sweet light .
holy picture. Little Bernadine Stanton,
the only non commitment, not yet hay
ing arrived at the required age, braYely
sang the communion hymn as a solo.
with silver voiced angelic sweetness.
The 1870 High mass was solemnized
by Father Connell, who also preached
the Easter sermon. 1t was a joyous
delivery for is there any happiness to
equal his-own at the sublime memory
of his faithful people fulfilling their
Eastertide duties at the early mass.
Profound silence ensnared the congre-
cation, the gentle echoes Of the preach
ers voice shall rest long in each heart.
The adult choirs rendering of Wilson'S
"Missa Noctis Sanctissimae" excelled
the expectations Of Pastor and people.
it was so splendinIy presented by a
ladies' double quartet. The solosts
were the Misses Bernadette Hart,
Agatha Martini, Kathleen Helbig and
Cecilia Hart, with Mrs. K. R. Rasche
presiding at the organ.

carried on in Mexico. Inasmuch as
the Mexican government does not per
nit the removal of original records
from that country and Mexican witness
es could not be subpenaed, it looked for
a time as if the case would have to be
dropped.
The sentences imposed were light,
considering the extent of the offense,
one man receiving two years in the
penitentiary and $1,000 fine, and the
other Is months in the penitentiary and
a $40. 600 fine. 1t will be remembered
the amount filched from the public in
this instance was Sc, 900, GOO.
As may be supposed, it is somewhat
dIscouraging to the secret service men
Of the Postoffice Department to exert
every effort in experimenting a notorious
swlndler, perform the often more
difficult task of collecting sufficient
evidence to convict him. and then have
him receive a sentence of a COM
paratively small fine and a prison term
of few months.
When you receive letter Offering to
give you motor car and a couple of
skyscrapers If you will only send $50 to
a certain address; if somebody wants to
sell you 20 lottery tickets for $40, or 100
shares in mining company for 81, 000;
when an individual agrees to cure your
rheumatism, headaches, indigestion,
nerves, grippe and any other little
malady for a paltry compensation Of rs
cents week or $I5 for the entire
course-pretend YOU are q M.ssourian.
Make them show you! A certain
amount of cynicism is necessary in bust
ness. If you decide to invest your
money, consult reliable broker, lawyer,
physician and your nearest relatives
then think it over.

Profitable Hay.

One of the best ways of getting
large hay crop is to use a liberal
amount Of plantfood on the money
crops, or the grain crops, in the rota-
ton. This .plantfood may be either
manure or fertilizers-but should usu-
ally include both.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1917-04-12
Permanent Mowinqs.

When land is cropped permanently
to grass, yields are usually lower than
in rotation mowings. The field becomes
rootbound and fertility sometimes be-
comes so low that the crop is often not
worth the cutting. Weeds displace the
grasses, and the quality of the crop
becomes so poor that it ranks as
"stock hay"-not because it is espe-
cially good for feeding to stock. but
because it has no other possible use.
This condition shows a neglect of the
fundamental principle underlying
quality-that good feeding is neces-
sary for good quality products.
Making Permanent sods Pay.
Permanent mowings can be kent
productive almost indefinitely. The
experiences of numbers of farmers. as
well as the published records of our
experiment stations, demonstrate this.
Annual tOp-dressing with complete
fertilizer or barnyard manure is a
necessity.

LUTHERANS TAKE
STEPS TOREFUTE
COUNCIL CHARGE
Fourteen Ministers Meet at
Emmanuel Church to Make
Plans to Refute Accusa-
tionS Of Disloyalty.

Fourteen Lutheran ministers of
Omaha met yesterday morning at I'M
manuel Lutheran church and took
vigorous steps to refute the sweeping
statement by the Nebraska State
Council of Defense that the Lu-
theran church is disloyal to the gov
ernment. .,. :.
"This is an unwarranted charge"
declared Rev. Luther M. Kuhns, the
chairman. at has been made by a
body with an official character. 1t
has been made, however, without a
sufficient statement of particular in
stances. Because a few men who are
Lutherans have engaged in 'disloyal
activity or passivity' is poor reason
for making sweeping indictment of
a church which has proved its 10y
atty to this government in every
great war, church one of whose car-
dinal principles is loyalty to the gov
ernment. This charge has been made
and it is not for us to sit passive
under this unjust suspicion, suspi-
cion which we feel is all insult to
the great body of Lutherans. We
should ask the Council of Defense
for a bill of particulars and we should
have official action taken by the pres
idents of the different Lutheran syn
