partment officials interpret the troubled
situation in Russia ms the inevitable move
toward Russian nationalism.
Any move toward nationalism is essen
TALLY anti-German. The revolution is re-
gardod in official circles here as the culml-
nation Of movement which has been in
termttontlY on the surface over since the
outbreak of the great war in 1914. The
opening Of hostilities found Russia thor
ouGhly Gcrmani2cd. German bureaucracy
dominated both politics and industry in
Russia.
Whole colonies Of Germans IN Russia had
remained true to their German ideals 80
that The outbreak Of iho war found them
more Prussian than the Kaiser himself
Iheh was uncovered tho elaborate spy sys-
tenn which had been doing such effective
work beneath the surface II was this
predomnance of German influence that was
responsible for the persistent reports that
Russia would seek a separate peace with
all OF the advantage to accrue from such
movement to the Gcrmanic Powers.
But tho nationalist spirit in Russia pre-
vailed Observers Of International politics
found IT difficult in tho early. stages of the
great war 10 reconcile the stand of Russia
with the Allies, Russian autocracy was
Il by-wOrd and It was thought the SYM
pathies and aims Of the Russians were
clearly in line with the theories of German
"llultur,"
ALL IN LEADERSHIP
But the difference was in leadership. In
all Germany there could not he found a
leader among the so-CallCd intellcctuals who
was not heart and soul with the spirit of
PrusSianism. In Russia the intellectual
leadership for more than gencration-or
since the late Count Tolstoy was in middle
Iie-has been In favor of nationa ism and
the right Of the people to devise the Gov
ernmcnt under which they shall live.
The revolution is therefore regarded here
as the first fruit of the nationalist move
ment. Unless the Germans are able to take
immediate advantage Of the chaos into
which Russia has been thrown the revolu-
ton will react strongly against the German
cause. A revolutionary triumph means the
humiliation Of German influence from Rus
sian affairs and then a renewed war to
crush Prussianism itself.
IL the pro-Gerflans IN Russia cannot cone
with the revolution without delay it means
disaster to thir cause in Russia rs the
lluma and the army are both Of and for

IRISH POTATOES AS POULTRY
FEED

The high priced grains have caused
a considerable number of the poultry
breeders, even those keeping poultry
on the farm, to reduce their f1ocks of
hens, and in some instances, to sell
pullets that they had contemplated
keeping this winter for egg production
A bumper crop of Irish potatoes
has been produced and the small po-
tatoes can be obtained on most mar
kets in the country at prices ranging
from Coo to 9Oc a bushel. A feed that
will be much relished not only by the
laying hens, but by the growing pull
let's, can be produced by boiling one
bushel of small Irish potatoes and
mixing it with twenty pounds of wheat
bran or wheat shorts and three pounds
OF tankage. This feed will produce
growth and flesh on young chickens
and eggs from the laying flock, as
well as being less expensive than the
feeds generally used.

Indeed he had already begun to

But before he could carry out his
more ambitious program of outrage, a
courier, who risked his life a hundred
times, and whose name must not yet

visional Zionist committee in New
York.
Remembering Armenia, the c%iviliz-

The tidings reached the Germana III

had already demonstrated with Djemal

of the protests by the German Zionists
he sent for Djemal and ordered him to
take his hands off.
1t is reported that there was a stor-

in the removal of Djemal from his
office as military governor of Pales-

MAY CHANGE SEA WARFARE
WITH NEW DESTROYERS

The recent report that the United
States is building a new type of flush
deck destroyer, having a very high
speed and a minimum of hitting sur.
face, has aroused much speculation
among interested laymen as to the
details of these boats which, il has
been predicted, will revolutionize sea
warfare. While, of course, no partic-
ulars are available, it is the belief
that { c new craft bears a resemblance

young naval ol.-ar and described as

tecting deck and two towers, n for

THE WAR IN
THE HOLY LAND
Turks Slaughter Jews as British En-
ter Palestine.

The Jews of Palestine have put up q
brave fight while waiting for their de-
~liverance from the Turks by the allies
In spite Of famine and starvation
they have withstood all the blandish-
ments or of threats by the cruel Die
NAL Pasha.
AT the fortunes of war they have
made no complaint, especially as the
provisional committee for general
Zionist affairs, operated from New
York city, was drawing upon the re-
sources Of all its organizations in this
country to save Jewish Palestine from
the bread line.
Huge sums of gold were gotten into
Palestine, by means that cannot be
described until the var is at an end.
But this money was not handed out in
aims. Public works were started,
manufacturers and farmers received
loans in order that they might give
employment to thousands of Jews who
preferred death by starvation to loss
of self respect.
Meanwhile Gen. Sir Archibald Muir
rays army advancing from Egypt, had
crossed Sinai peninsula and struck at
GAIA. His proclamation announcing
England's intention to give Palestine
back to the Jews, reached the c~olonists
who could not control their joy.
The German Falkenhayn smiledgood
naturally. But the Saturnine features
of Djemal Pasha flushed with rage and
he prepared to punish the jubilant
Jews.
Under the pretext of military ne
cessity" which later he explained to
mean a desire to save them from bonn
bardment by sea and air, Djemal Pa
sha openly threatened to make OF
Palestine another Armenia.
On the heels of the fleeing Jews
came Turkish soldiers and Bedouin
marauders, who pilaged the deserted
houses and carried off all the abandon
ed household treasures.
Highwaymen pursued the weather
refugees and attacking them in the
sand hills, left them sick, stripped and
naked, to die. These outrages were
committed, as one correspondent put
it, under the paternal eye of authority.
The beautiful suburb of Tel-Aviv
was invaded by marauders, but they
were met by several score young men
who, risking death for disobedience of
Djemal Pasha's decree, again jeop-
ardized their lives to save this concrete
Jewish accomplishment. They were
reinforced by other young Jews, "Sho-
merim," who rushed down from the
villages, and they set up a good fight
uptil they were overwhelmed by Turk
ish soldiery and thrown into prison.
The roads to the Jewish colonies
swarmed with thousands of men, wo-
men and children, harrassed by sol
ihl afeir rdacRsrairdcrs .anv die
The c%olonists abandoned their crops
which they were then harvesting. and
sent hundreds of wagons and carts to
hasten the refugees to places of safe
ty, and the Shomerim made ready for
battle.

yielding. But it soon developed

FENCING A CONTINENT.

The state of South Australia has
since 1891, erected 29.14S miles OF
'vermin fences" enough to encirclc
the globe and with the remnant build
a double line of fence along the south
ern border OF the United States, When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased
New South Wales has expended over
$27. 100000 for rabbit determination
and has within its borders $4,000 miles
of fence.
OF late years the rabbit has been
repaying in part for his keep-payinS
board as it were, He goes to swell the
total of food exports from the Com.
nionwealth Along the country roads
rabbits may be seen hung on the
fences awaiting the passage OF the
rabbit carts which convey them to
the packing houses to be prepared for
shipment as frozen meat and hides.
Practically all are exported (the Aus
tralian does not eat "vermin' }, and
during 1918 frozen rabbit and hare to
the value of 81 100000 and skins to
the value of 100000 were sent from

GRAVEL FOR ROADS.

When community donates $11 900
In cash, hauls 10000 loads of gravel
and hard surfaces over 40 miles of
country road in a year and five months
surely there is right kind of spirit
in that community When there Is a
good roads day and 100 loads of
gravel are hauled between sunrise and
sunset there must be some men who
can boost and organize at the same
time. At least, this is what the men
thought who heard A. L. Middleton of
Eagle Grove tell Of what that town has
done for good roads at the cooperation
conference in Ames.
| In the campaign the Eagle Grove
Commercial Club and the progressive
farmers Of the community worked side
by side. 1t was started by mass meet
ings to arouse interest. A committee
of three live road boosters was APP
pointed and a real hustler of booster
was hired as secretary An enthusi-
astic farmer on each main highway
was appointed to head the gravel
crews. The secretary and the com
mittee solicited funds located gravel
pits secured pledges for gravel haul
ing. hired men to level the gravel on
the roads and see to it that the coun-
ty supervisors and township trustees
graded and drained the roads, ready
for gravel.
Il was talking with one of our mer.
chants a few days ago. said Mr.. Mid
dleton. land he told me that he had
secured larger return from the
money he gave the gravel fund than
any he had ever spent for advertising
Now. after the town and country tel.
lows have rubbed elbows hauling
gravel. a fellow feeling has sprung up
and they are talking of organizin

country can meet together, enjoy life
together and work out their problems

out of 1t, for it is the value you are
getting for your mills rather than the.
number of mills that counts.
Then Mr.. Lakley complains that the
hacks of his district are mot dry
k(when raining) not comfortable (when
cold)." Undoubtedly he means the out
side of the hacks.
h North Dakota has 1913 consolidated
schools, many Of them situatedfw up
| toward the Canadian border. If these
schools, 123 are in rural districts, the
remaining 30 are combined town and
rural School is in session in the con-
solidated schools during the winter
months. If the people of North Dakota
nearly 500 miles north of Van Euren
county. Iowa, can have their children
| transported comfortably why can not
the people of Van Buren, county 10 the
same?
! Consolidation is coming, just as sarc
ly as other lines of endeavor have pro
dressed. so must the schools. The
small town is established for tic con-
renlence of the country. No other
cause could have called it into eSis.
Itence AS it is, SO is the country sur
rounding it. If it is bright, lively, pro-
gressive, ii is so because 1t is in that
same kind of rural community. It's
schools are more rural than urban.
This fact is being rapidly recognized
and because of this recognition we
have the consolidated school. A school
that fits your community. II Is Just as
you want ii to be. If you want builC-
ing that will be a community center.
in which men may have their insti-
flutes and commercial clubs, the boys
their gymnasium, the girls and ladies'
their social entertainments, you may
have all this, in connection with an
accredited high school from which
" our children may enter college, If you
care to send them, if you SO choose.
Iowa stands fifth in rank Of wealth
in the United States. Mahaska county
lis by no means Mahaska's poorest
county.
That consolidated school would
mot be burdensome to the proposed
district we can prove. Then why net
have it? Why not give to the boys and
girls of this community an equal
chance with boys and girls of other
communities? Why not place Mahafka
in the lead in Southeastern Iowa? She
has good start with Fremont, Lacey
and Cedar's new buildings, Oskaloosas
new one in the near future and two
other consolidation propositions about
to materialize. So boost for the school
or boost for the country, it matters
mot, so the results are right, but be a
booster anyway. Mr.. Lakley and ms
forty bills is not a problem that me
proposed district need solve.
