BOY FARMER PATRIOT;
SAVES MOTHER A fine
Gennaro Didn't Go to School, but
Cultivated Twenty Acres
In WestChester.

New York.-Mrs. Rosa de Rosa, a
widow, missed being fined in the mu-
nicipal term court for keeping her son
Gennaro home from school by just
twenty acres. These acres are part Of
her home at Mill Lane, Westminster,
and for the last month they have been
ploWed and narrowed and fortified
and planted and cultivated by Gennaro
alone, and he is only fifteen.
1t was his age that got Gennaro into
trouble, for the compulsory education
law compels parents to keep their chill
dren in school until their sixteenth
year. That is why Mrs. De Rosa ap-
peared in court, very much frightened
and escorted by Attendance officers
Puglieri and Carney.
Magistrate Appleton looked sternly
at the little Italian woman until she
had explained that she was a widow,
that there was a mortgage Oh her home
and that Gennaro was her only sup
port. Then he smiled, and after Publi-
erl and Carney had testified that the
twenty acres were under intensive Gull
tivation and that one fifteen-year-old
lad was doing all this work the magis-
trate announced his decision.
Sentence suspended" he said. your
son, Mrs. De Rosa, is doing a patriotic
duty. He is a real benefit to the COM
munlty-more sc than if he went to
school, as the law requires"
Gennaro did not hear this praise. He
was up in Westchester, cultivating the
twenty acres.

The Union, N. D., base ball team
motored over to u city Thursday
evening for a friendly game of the
national pastime with our nine and
after a few innings were played our
regulars began to show their skill in
demonstrating the stick and pill. The
visitors appeared to see an apparition
that the tide was turning against them
though six runs were tailed to their
credit against our two. At any rate
they got "cold feet' and commenced
to find fault with fair decisions, final
ly leaving the battle field before our
artillery bombarded their strongest
fortified positions. The reserves ac-
c~ompanying them showed more brave
Ty than the regulars did.
1t is our sad duty to chronicle the
death of Alfred Sevalde, who passed
away Sunday evening at the family
home east of town at the age of 81
years, death being due to hemorhages
of the lungs. Deceased was a bright
young man of sterling qualities, ev-
erybody being shocked at his early
demise for he was up to a few months
ago, robust and healthy until he con-
tracted a bad cold which settled on his
lungs. Funeral services were held at

Curious Swiss Church.

The most singular church in the
world is probably st. Johns, at Davos
Platz, in Switzerland. Davos Platz is
over 5000 feet above sea level and is
famous as a winter resort for consump-
tives on account of it's great purity Of
air and protection from high winds.
st. Johns church is a very small build
ing, but nevertheless it has two stee-
pies. One of these is much larger than
the other, towering high above the
church and presenting a most singular
appearance, being twisted after the
name of a corksArew. The steeples
contain some fine chimes, which in an
Gent times were used to sound the
alarm when there was a threatened in
yasion Of wild administration Mail.

Pussy Wants a Corner.

One player is chosen to be puss. The
others choose their goals, which may
be chairs in a row or trees out of
doors. Puss walks from one to an
other, saying "Poor pussy wants a cor
ner." She is told, go to my next door
neighbor." Meanwhile the other play
ers are constantly changing places.
Puss may try to get any vacant goal
which she can reach before the other
players take it. The player left with
out a goal becomes pussy.

Reports come from the Hague,
Netherlands, that DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, the German Imperial Chan
cellor, would make another peace Of
fer in the Reichstag on Thursday
yesterday. What these terms may
be are of course unknown, but it is
announced by the General Anzieger of
Dusseldorf, Germany, quoting from a
recent statement given out to foreign
correspondents in Berlin, that "the
world will be astonished by the mod
Grafton Of the German peace terms"
It is also announced that German So
cialists, opposed to the Pan-German
idea, are urging a clear statement of
Germany's peace terms, on the basis
of no annexation or indemnities.

COLONISTS A MEN
ACE TO BRAZIL

an the event that Brazil enters the
war, the large German colony in the
three southern states of Brazil might
be a menace to that government" A.
Monteiro, a Brazilian who is a stu
dent in the School of journalism Of
the University of Missouri, says. "The
possibility is, however, that the Ger
mans will remain loyal.
Brazil has a CONSUMPTION military
service system by which every man
serves the country from 81 to As
years of age, with two years of ac-
tive service. The Brazilian army in
time of peace has $4,000 men," Mr..
Monteiro declares. "The reserves to-
tai 5227,000 men. The total war
strength is $4,000 soldiers and off
GERS. The total available unorganized
population which can be organized in
one or two years numbers 4,301 ,643.
The army of Brazil is twice as large
as that of Chile and Argentina COM
bined.
The army has been trained by
French and German officers and the
materials of warfare are from French
and German factories. The navy is
new and its completion has been re-
tarded by the war. 1t has two dread
naughts of the latest type, five cruis-
ers, six gunboats, two monitors, fif-
teen destroyers, four torpedo boats
and three submarines. The officers
and men number 15,300."

FREE IRELAND

President Wilson is unofficially re-
ported to have urged upon Mr.. Bal
four, the British Foreign Secretary,
who heads the Commission now in this
country, the need of granting home
rule to Ireland. A movement was al
so started in the House to back up
the Presidents proposition, and a
message to David Lloyd George of
the English Parliament was framed,
suggesting that nothing will add
more to the enthusiasm of America
in the war than settlement now of
the Irish question in accordance
with the principles announced by
President Wilson in his address to
Congress, asking it to declare war on
autocracy for the worldwide safety
of democracy and of small nations"
Speaker Clark was the first to sign
the petition. Other Missourians
signing were Representatives Decker,
Hensley, Dyer, Igoe and Meeker.
Mr.. Balfour is said to have been
impressed with the position taken
by the President on this question, as
the only fly in the ointment that
stood in, the way of more perfect har-
mony between the United States and
Great Britain. Claiming to be fight
ing for larger freedom of the peo-
pies and nations of Europe, her sin
cerity would be emphasized by be-
ginning at home and giving Ireland
the same freedom and home rule that
England and Scotland enjoy. BY do
ing this now the cause of the Allies
would be strengthened, and it would
show that Americas attitude in the
war is fully and freely accepted by
her.
If good is to come out of this war
and the success of the Allies, it must
be greater freedom and larger self
government for all peoples, and the
of the downfall of abso-
lutism and military autocracy, with
a worldwide concert and assurance
of permanent peace.
